The Royal Baking Powder will make sweeter, lighter, finer-flavored
and more wholesome bread, biscuit and cake than any other leavening
agent. It is of higher strength, and therefore goes further in work and
is more economical. All government and scientific tests go to show
thiis. Royal Baking Powder as a leavening agent is absolutely without
an equal.
Rush Medical College, Chicago.
“As the result of my teste I find the Royal
Baking Powder superior to all the others in every
respect It is entirely free from all adulteration
and unwholesome impurity, and in baking it *
gives off a greater volume of leavening gas than
any other powder. It is therefore not only the
purest but also the strongest powder with which
I am acquainted.

“The Royal Baking Powder, which tests the highest
in strength, is free from lime, alum, lime phosphates or
other adulterations. Its superlative purity, the entire
wholesomeness of its ingredients, the scientific manner
in which they are combined, together with its much -•
greater strength, make the Royal unquestionably supe
rior to any other baking powder.

The New York World makes this ob

New York has the grip iu epidemic
form. It is killing people at a faster
rate than during any former visitation
of the kind. AUrl the death-rate re-
co ded as due to it does not cover the
whole of its destructive work. It seems
to induce and to aggravate other mala

ordinarily threaten Well men and

A WISE HEAD.
Congressman Livingston is win
ing a great reputation iu Congress
and he deserves it. He has intro-
d uced into the House a resolution
which will do a great deal towards
solving the great financial question
of the hour.
The resolution will be found in
another column and in substance
proposes the appointment of a com*
id it lee of seven to examine into the
financial question of the United
States and report back the recom
mendations as to the best way in
which to solve the difficulty.
It will entail upon the ^ommittee
n great deal of work but if it is done,
it will do much good. The resolu
tion goes at once to the very source
of the trouble, it demands how much
-. circulation we have, where it is, how
it is distributed by states, the vol
ume of business done in ihe United
States, cash and credit, and many
other things that will enable Con-
' gress to work with more certainty of
attaining good results in the final
settlement of the question.
Col. Livingston is right; the peo-
plo.rule. this government and they
poB^Sss the right to demand a
knowledge of bow much money they
have, how it is distributed and
whether there is enough of it.
Such management will accomplish
great results; we believe it is the
the foundation of a line of attack
that will eventually storm the bat
tlements of plutocracy and plant
upon the turrets the flag of finanoial
reform.
In this work, we are with you
heart and soul,Col. Livingston While
a few ambitions men are crying out.

BUILD FOR THE FUTURE.
The question of obtaining a pure
and adequate supply of water for
our city is one that must be settled
at once, and demands quick and
radical steps.
To sum the situation op in one
brief sentence, unless this water sap-
p)>y is obtained within the next
sjyjafejtitllB, the city will be abso
lutely without water with whioh to
flush its sewers and an epidemic of
disease will stare Athens in the face
The question is undoubtedly the
most important one now before the
Mayor and Council for consideration
and if that body solves it satisfacto
rily it will merit the sincerest thanks
ol.' the people.
Yet in building up a new system
o f water works, the greatest care and
forethought should be brought to
bear upon the question. We should
bear in mind that in addition to act-
i ig rapidly in this matter, as is un
doubtedly necessary to meet the pre
sent emergency, we must leok to the
future, and build not only for to
day but for ; years to come. Alliens

MERRY VOICES
what will satisfy her needs to-day
will not be adequate by any means
ten years from now.
It is undoubtedly a qutstion that
summons to its solution the best in
tellect and thought of the communi
ty—the obtaining of a pure, health
ful, and adequate supply of water
for a city’s use. It is not only ne
cessary that the supply should be
adequate, but it should be pure. If
the water is impure or is derived
from a source that may some future
day be polluted, then it should be
promptly rejected.
To secure this pure supply it is
necessary not only to simply get the
amount of water, but,,to so procure
the water-shed as to prevent the lo
cation upon it in the future of any
thing objectionable.
The securing of this bountiful sup
ply and the protection of the water
shed in such a manner as to keep the
supply pure in the future, is one
branch of the question that cannot
be too carefully considered.
Then as to the adequacy of sup
ply, it should be remembered' that
Athens can never be supplied from
any little spring branch, but the
supply must come from an unfailing
source.
We would urge upon Council the
necessity ot early and radical move
ment in this direction, and we know
that the members ot the present
Council fully appreciate the situa
tion.
And above all things we would
urge that they build for the future.

A SERIOUS SITUATION-
It is stated that President Diaz
has become alarmed at thReporters
which have reached him regarding
the rapid spread of the Garza revo
lutionary movement that he fought
his way to the presidency ot Mexico.
There is every reason to believe as
shown by the pronunciamento issued
in the State of Nuevo Leon, that
there are smarter and more influen
tial men than Garz? who are leading
the revolutionists of the border
States, and unless the movement
is promptly crushed there will be a
general rush to arms and Garza and
his friends will find themselves at
the head ot army of 10.000 or 15,000
men which will increase in numbers
as they march upon the City of
Mexico. The revolutionists are now
in violation of the neutrality jaws
using American territory as a base
of operation and supplies
and this cannot be
olorated by the United
States government. Consequently it
is slated that the military authori
ties at Washington are preparing to
send a large force of troops to the
Texas frontier with the view of dri
ving all the Mexican outlaws across
the Rio Grande ri"er. This shoqld
have been done at the beginning and
before the Garza movement reached
the present alarming proportions,
because it is now quite plain that
there is great danger of Mexico be
ing plunged into a bloody revolution,
and as a matter of course American
interests in that country will suffer.

Fight.
Akkalon*, J.m. 8-—The fight between
the two factious resulted in but ouf
death, that of Sheriff Dunn. Warrants
were issued, for the arrest of some thir
ty of the attacking party, who are all
known, aud with the aid of the troops
the company here and the one stationed
at Springfield, fifteen miles distant, all
connected with the mnrder who can be
found will be arrested. Further par
ticulars as to the late fight go to show
that, while the mnrder was a premed
itated onef ihe conflict was unexpected.
The party of forty lay in • ambuscade
just above a deep canon, through which
the road to Sp'ringfield passes. They
had rendezvoused at Fargo some three
miles distant, the evening before, in
pursuance of plans that had been dis
cussed in the Citizen’s Alliance in
Springfield and Woodsdale, the purpose
was, from ciicauistances, explained to
Judge Botkiu and County Attorney
Beauchamp. The immediate cause oi
thi3 plot of the Alliance, as revealed by
members of both Alliances who hrfd
given the information, was the contest
over the office of sheriff.
The alliance declaring that their
member should be counted in, even if
death prepared the way. The killing o!
Dunn revealed the true motive of the
men concerned in the murder. After
he received liis death wound member*
of the gang gathered around him aud
poured volley after volley into him.
Guyuian, who was supitosed to have
been killed, was found wnep the search
ing party found Dunn’s body. It was
not definitely known how many, if any
of. the attacking party, were killed.
Jndge Botkin, who lived but a little
over a nnle distant, was aroused by the
flying, aud from his house conld see the
gang. When Duun received the shot
that ended Ifis life he cried :
. " Boys, I am done for. * Then he
pointed his 'Winchester at his assailants,
firing until he fell. In a few minutes
Judge Botkin s.iw the party gather iu
three or four groups, one of which car
ried what was apparently a body to one
of the covered wagons in which they
had come to the scene of the conflict.
Two others were aided in getting into
wagons, but as yet no definite news has
been obtained.
There is a fixed determination to kill
the presiding jndge and the county at
torney, and prevent the holding of the
January term of court.
The fact that no trial for murder can
he had iu the adjoining couuty has em
boldened these "riders of the plains. "
They were led by J. D. Hunt, an Alii
ance lecturer, who had had some diffi
culty with Dunn, and two men whom
Judge Botkin had sentenced to the pen
itentiary, but who are now out pending
a hearing in the supreme court. Tin
governor has authorized the adjutant
general to call ont the entire militia if
necessary, declaring that peace must
be preserved at all hazards.

. LEXINGTON’S CHIEF OF POLICE
la Given One Day to Explain Certain
Matters of Irregularity.
Lexington, Ky., Jan. 7.—The people
of Lexington has been treated to a poli
tical Bensation by a three-column
article in the Press charging chief of
police Letcher Lnsby with failing to re
port to the city authorities fines collect
ed in the city court in the last eight
months to the amonnt of $1,826. The
Press gives him a day for explanation,
and, that failing, it holds him guilty of
malfeasance in office.
Chief Lnsby replies in the afternoon
paper, claiming that the charge is
founded on personal spite, and that hia
books are properly kept and ready for
investigation by the police commission.
This body met this evening and indorsed
the official course of Chief Lnsby, con
firming him in his appointment. Tite
The police commission is independent of
the city council, with whom Chief Lua-
by’s settlements must be made.
The matter, taken in connection with
the general discontent with the man
agement of city affairs, is likely to
cause a considerable row before it is
dropped.

A DEATH TRAP FOUND
AN OLD PIECE OF LUMBER
That Was Used on the Horse Car Line
to Union Point-
A few days since Mr. Horace Martin
wa3 having an old kitchen torn away
on his lot on Oconee street. This house
is part of the old Hodgson homestead,
and it was built many years before the
war.
Mr. Martin found one of the old
sleepers with a curious mark upon it,
which upon examination prov«d to be a
mark left by an iron rail that bad evi
dently rested upon it. *
Further examination showed it to
have been used beyond a doubt on a
line of railway, and Mr. Martin has ev
ery reason to believe it is a piece of lum
ber that was used on the old horse car
line that once ran from here to Union
Point. It had been aTpiece of lumber
upon vrbich the rails had rested.
Old things will come to light every
now aud here we find an
evidence of railway en

making a lecturing tour together, and
they will probably start out early in
February to make a tour of South

that section.
Prof. White is now arranging the |
programme for these lectures, and he
and Dr J. B Hunnicutt will doubtless |

In a Cabin In the Wilds of Ok'ahoiaa.
Robber’s Retreat.
Chandler, O. T., Jan. 7.—A report
comes into this city of the I n ling of a
honsi iu the dense woo ls along the
riv jver in the Indiau country, which
hau been deserted, aud an examination
of which solves a mystery which h is
beSn puzzling the people of that city
for a number of years.
The house was situated ii a deep
piece of timber, and was about a mile
off the road. It was approached by a
circuitous trail through the woods, and
was iu such a position that it was only
discovered by accident. For year; it
has been a matter of frequent occur
rence that travelers have disappeared
when traveling along this road: aud no
trace of them was ever after discovered.
On several occasions search hais been
made for the missing parties, but such
search has always been fruitless.
Lately the United Slates marshals
have been making it very warm for tha
outlaws which have infested the terri
tory, and the result is that many of
them have fled to other parts uutil the
storm blows over. It is evident that
the house spoken of was the rendezvous
of some of the robbers, for it was built
for that very purpose, as is evidenced
from its structure.
It is a small cabin, of three rooms,
leading one into the other in a line.
Near the door which leads from the first
to the second room is a large trap door,
which a person passing from one room
to the other would be compelled to step
upon. This trap door swings down
ward, aud is held in place with an ar
rangement similar to that used on scaf
folds, and it was so arranged that a
persou iu the rear room could spring
the trap and send the victim to the bot
tom of a deep hole. It .was evident that
it was used for this purpose, for the
bottom of the hole was covered with
jagged .rocks, aud on many of these
could be found dried blood and hair.
No indications of remains could be
found, but the ground near will be
thoroughly searched by the officers.

J* MEXICANS ARE iNuitinmt i •
They Deny tlio Report* of Destitution
and Want In Their Conntry.
City of Mexico, Jan. 7—While mam
reports have been sent over the country
especially to the United States and Eu
rope, regarding the great destitution
which waq alleged to exist in certain
states of this republic, the government
has made no attempt at official denial
until it htd fully investigated the
matter, and found out just exactly
what grounds there were for the reports.
This investigation has been going on for
several weeks, having be. n instituted
immediately after the first circulation
of the injurious reports.
The replies aud documents from all
the officials who had the matter in hand
are now in the offices of the government
at this place, and while they are not ye;
re: d/ for publicatiod, a newspaper man
w. s iliable to look over several of them,
and from this examination is given the
gist of .them, which is that the real
l , state of affairs has b :u greatly exag
gerated, and no such condition exists as
is alleged.
There was -some failure of crops in
the northern and northwestern states,
but there is no more destitution than is
to be found in those states every year
In Sinaloa and Dnrango, where it i*
alleged the greatest destitution was.,
there is no destitution that can uot b-
cared for by the residents of those
states. It is true that, a few people
there have been suffering on-a< o mnt of
long continued dry weather, but even
in these instances there was none of the
extreme cases wnich were reported,
and there have been no deaths which
can be attributed to starvation or desti
tution in any state in the republic. The
governors of all of ‘.he states on the bor
der send in supplementary reports, and
fully corroborate the reports of the spe
cial commissioners. They are highly
indignant that their states should be
brought into disrepute in this manner,
and call upon President Diaz to tak •
such measures as will prevent the send
ing ont of such false and malicious re
ports in the future.
