HODGSON’S EXPERIENCE.

The mountain streams of Northeast
Georgia have been turned by the recent
rains into raging torrents.
Such high water was never before
known in the extreme northeastern sec-
t inn of tim state, and the damage to
c ups and property is terrific.
!n tin- county of Franklin, out of six-

and others are almost ready to go.
Mr. Joe Hodgson and family returned
ia line Sunday from a trip to North Car-
iilma. They stopped in Franklin coun
ty < n their return to visit relatives
th.-rc. and had a hard time getting
a .vay from that county on account of
tk rains.
Tin y started out to cross the North
I’.road river Friday morning and went
to four different bridges only to find
that they had been washed away.
They returned to Carnesville and
started again Saturday. Saturday
evening they succeeded m crossing the
river about five miles from Carnesville.
Tin' bridge there had swung loose from
its loura.uriuiis but had lodged against
two big trees.
After much trouble there they suc-
ciedrd in getting across the river and
readied Athens Sunday morning.

Mr. A. O. Thomas, of Marysville,

lutely cured by Dr. King’s New Discov-
ery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. lie declares that gold is of little
value in comparison to this marvelous
cure. Would have it even if it cost a

THEIR—
SUCCESS,
From Sunday’s Banner.
Yesterday morning the Athens factory
came to a standstill.
The big water wheel refused to turn,
and that, of course, caused the machin
ery to stop.
Investigation showed that a log had
been lodged in the water wheel, and on
account of the high water it was im
possible to get the log out and set the
wheel going again.
So the lower mill is compelled to re
main idle for a few days, or at least uu
til the water subsides sufficiently to en
able the necessary repairs to be made.
The rivers in this section,all are rising.
Dr. Hathaway & Co.’s successes have become a
imiuetiold word. Why? The answer is simple.
rt.. y are men with the courage of their convic-
li' iiH. Originators, not imitators. Their methods,
like themselves, are in harmony with the people
ami the tinvjs. New and up to date. Among the j , . ■ _
lesions of miscalled experts and legitimate i The Middle Oconee river does not. show
specialists they stand to-day with clean hands in
ti"'front rank of respectable piofessionalism'as
acknowledged originators of thr new and now
widely adopted method of treating chronic and
com pl icated disorders.
1 heir reputation rests not on the cheap, trans
parent i lid form of purchased testimony, baton
a long list of cured patients, visible local wit-
hi—fo of their skill. As physicians of business
arnl social status in tho community they pledge a
complete course of treatment and ultimate cure
hy.the "Hathaway method,” unabridged, and at
price- within the roach of all. .
1 Ley are regular graduates in medicine from
so:n ■ of the best medical colleges in tho world,
ami hold licenses to practice from different State
Boards of Health. They conduct their business
on a strictly professional basis, promising noth
ing hut what they can fulfill, and do not adopt
t m many fake and fraudulent methods that many
m« ' rs and so-called specialists in offering free
prescriptions, cheap medicines and C. O. D. fakes
m order to obtain a few dollars from their unior*
inflate victims.
such a rise as the Oconee. The water
is pretty high at the factory, but it has
not yet given any evidence of the com
ing of a freshet.
The heavy and continued rains hr.' e
caused much damage to the com and
cotton crops in this section. A great
deal of bottom land com is under water
aDd much cotton is rotting.
It was always so and will probably be
so. There was a Judas among the de-
ciples, uouo are perfect and the best
people will bear watching. Keep an
eye on Skiff the jeweler. The merchants

tion and collection. Quite large (Tubs
arc iu successfull operation. It em
braces all classes of business which is
one good feature. It claims the plan is
spoken of very highly, where adopted.
Why not others have an organization of
this kind, to protect the business men
from getting beat by the deadbeats.
If any place needs protection, it is
Athens.
Some buy on credit with the intention
never to pay, few are honest.
There is complaint from the soldiers
iu every part of the country of how they
have been treated and starved daring
their encampment on the battlefield,
and if true as represented, this, our gov
ernment should be reprimanded by all
nations. Letting soldiers fight for onr
country, in a land of plenty, filled with
everything required that one needs to
sustain life. Why should our soldiers
suffer and die for the want of food as is
stated to be a fact from witnesses and
sufferers ?

If they trouble yon call at Skiff’s and

required, which he can do to perfection.

WRIT AGAIN DISMISSED.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Came to an End in
Ordinary's Court.
Yesterday morning the writ of habeas
habeas asked by Lizzie Roberton, color
ed, who was seeking.to gain the custody
of John Henry McWhorter, a young ne
gro boy, was denied by Judge Herring
ton.
The hearing commenced at eleven
o'clock, Judge Thomas representing Liz
zie Robertson, and Judge Foster repre
senting Mr. Jones, of Morgan county.
After the case was called the defend
ant filed an answer, declaring that at the
time the writ was served on him, the
negro boy was not in his custody or
control, and the he was bound oyer to P.
E. Clemons, of Morgan county, by his
father Buck McWhorter.
After considerable argument by coun
sel, Judge Herrington dismissed the
writ on the ground that the boy was not
in the custody or control of Mr. Jones.
Judge Thcmas will bring other pro
ceedings to get possession of the negro
hoy, if the law entitles his client- to have
him.

There is at city headquarters, growing
on a tree in front of the Clerk’s office, a
parasitical plant that has been dabbed
the “weather prophet” plant.
It is equal, if not superior, to tha

an indicator of rain or dry weather rivals
Daisy Price’s Macon snakes.
Mayor Price’s hung up snakes in front
of his office to bring rain and now the
people are after his scalp because he
cannot conjure dry weather back to
Macon. He will have to bide his time
and consult MayorSmith’s “weather pro
phet” plant.
This parasite has the peculiarity of
erowiug only in wet weather.; Then it
is as green as the grass on the lawn.
Whenever dry weather approaches it
becomes perfectly brown and looks life
less. But with the return of wet
weather it will turn green again.
It is very, very green jnst now.
Funeral ol Hr. Howard Hayes Yesterday Af
ternoon.
From Sunday’s Banner.
Yesterday afternoon at three o’clock
in Lexington the funeral services over
the remains of Mr. Howard A. Hayes
were conducted in the presence of a
large number of sorrowing friends and
relatives. The remains were interred
at Lexington.
Mr. Hayes, at the time of his death,
was sixty-eight years of age. He was
one of the most highly esteemed citizens
of Oglethorpe county, being a man of
irreproachable character and sterling
integrity. Ho was a consistent Chris
tian. and a man whose life was crowned
with many loving deeds.
Mr. Hayes was a patent facror for
good in his comminity, and lie will he
sorely missed by all who knew him.

The streets of Athens, largely on ac
count of the prolonged rainy season,
have become fearfully rough iu many
places.
There are great holes in the streets at
different points, and travelling along
them is anything but pleasant.
The condition of the streets has
caused a great deal of kicking by the
citizens, and frequent calls have been
made for repairs.
Milledge avenue presents just now a
dilapidated appearance. There are
holes in the street for its entire length.
Prince avenue is iu but a slightly-better
condition. Broad street itself needs re
pairs badly. Portions r.f Jackson street,
are ill mud holes. In fact it is useless to
enumerate the streets needing repairs.
The city government, realizes the con
dition of the streets and will set to work
to remedy that condition as soon as pos
sible. It will probably be the middle of
September or the first of October before
any very effective work in this direction
can be done.
It is intended to fully double the street
force, and under the supervision of Capt.
J. W. Barnett and Snpt. John R. Cain,
the repair work will be carefully done
on every street iu the city ucediug at
tention.
Tno citizens look forward with great
pleasure to this repair work.
CASES BEFORE THE MAYOR.
IT WILL CAUSE WAR.
THE REPUBLICANS MEET.
That Party In Clarke County Refuses to En
dorse Any Party.
From Sunday's Banner.
The republicans of Clarke county held
a meeting yesterday which was presided
over by Albert Hawkins, chairman of
the Clarke county executive committee.
There was a sentiment in favor of
endorsing the populist ticket, hut this
was crushed out by the majority led by
M. B. Morton, who favored turning the
republicans loose and endorsing nobody.
There was some talk of putting out a
republican candidate for the legislature
in this county, but it did not materialize.
The republicans will run no candidate
for congress in the Eighth District this
year.
A Scrap In Which His Honor Had the Last
Inning.
There was an entertainment in East
Athens Friday night, and the colored
400 were present.
There were others, among them Rill
Gleason and Charlie Thomas. Bill
Hunt was also in evidence and Bill is
doubtless sorry that, he accepted tic
hostess’iuvitation to lend his presence
Mary Ware presided and there was >:
hot time at her house that, night.
- Bill Gleason got. mad because he
wasn’t treated "square on a deal.” and
Charlie Thomas was the object of Bill’s
wrath. Charlie is what is generally
kuowu as “a warm number,” ami Bill
must be “a hot baby” who stands for no
dragging from any coon, it matters
not how “hot” he happens to
be. At any rate Bill mixed
things up considerably and the other
guests stood and looked on in
abject terror until finally Bill Hunt de
cided to referee the scrap, and after
about two fast rouuds had been fought
attempted to end the bout. This was
unsatisfactory to Gleason, who had the
the Fitzsimmons end of tho string, and
wanted to fight to a finish. When
Hunt called a halt. Bill halted but he
didn’t do a thing to the referee and
peace maker, but slug him ove.r the
head a couple of turns for luck. That’s
what Hunt says, but his honor thought
from other evidence presented that Hunt
was too gay and relieved him of a $5
note and uiuoty cents besides. Gleason
escaped with a flue of $3.60 as the mayor
thought he had added nothing to his
reputation as a pugilist. Thomas is iu
the woods, as yet, but the patterollers
are after him and iu the language of

and they want you mighty bad.”

THE COUNTY TAX RATE.
Will it Also be Increased to Meet the Demands
on the Treasury?
County Tax Collector H. H. Linton
received yesterday a notice from the
Comptroller-General officially announc
ing the state tax levy for 1898 to be $6.21
on each thousand dollars of taxable pro
perty.
The county tax rate will now have to
be fixed, and as soon as the county com
missioners make out their estimates of
money needed, the county officers
chaged with that duty will meet and
levy the county tax rate.
It is not known whether or not the
county tax rate for this year will be
raised. It is believed that it will remain
at about the same figures as last year.
( Last year the state and county tax
rate was $9.25 on each' thousand dollars
of taxable property. This year, if the
county tax rate remains the same as last
year, the state and county tax rate will
be $10.25 on each thousand dollars*
The Dreyfus case remains the all-ab
sorbing topic of conversation and com
ment, and it- now looks like Max Joseph
was right, when he declared that the
eiut was not yet. Mr. Joseph still thinks
that war will yet result from the inci
dent. and is still ready to shoulder a
musket and tight, as soon as Uncle Sam
gives the word. Yesterday’s Constitu
tion had a glaring scare-head on the
first page, the first line of which read:
“Dreyfus Case May Cause War.”
It will be remembered that Mr.
Joseph made this declaration in Wed
nesday's Banner. His friends langhed
when they read the interview, hnt it
would now seem, from reports sent out
by the Associated Press, that Mr.
Joseph was right and that war is at
least possible.
Among the many wild rumors flying
about is one to the effect that Col.
Hdury did not committ suicide, but that
he was murdered at the instigation of
the French authorities, after he admit
ted that the evidence he furnished and
on which Dreyfus was convicted was
forged.
The reopening of this case is a com
plete vindication of M. Zola and the
other leading Freuce figures who have
insisted from the first that Dreyfns was
convicted on testimony forged by the
officials of tie.army.
The real sensations of the case are ex
pected when the new trial is called. It
is almost certain that other army officials
will be implicated iu the forgery, and
all France is determined to see that jus
tice is done.
It was annonneed yesterday by The
Patria that several officers of the general
staff have decided to resign shortly, and
divulge all they kuow in the entire
Dreyfns affair.
One French officer declares that war
will inevitably follow as a result of the
revelations which will be made regard
ing thhe machinations of another
government.
