THE ATHENS BANNER: FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1898

Welkins the Floor.
When a business man gets to the point
Where he cannot sleep at night, where he is
so shattered of nerve that it is torture to
even remain in his bed, and he has to get
op and pace the floor—it is time for that
man to bring himself up with a round turn.
If he does not. it means nervous prostration
and mental, if not physical, death.
For a man who gets into this condition
there is a remedy that will brace him up,
put him on his feet and make a man of him
again. It is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. It goes to the bottom of things.
It searches out the first 'cause. When a
man is in this condition you can put your
finger on one of two spots and hit that first
cause — the stomach or the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly on these
spots. It promptly transforms a weak stom
ach into a healthy one. It facilitates the
flow of digestive Juices and makes diges
tion and assimilation perfect It gives a
man an appetite like a boy’s. It invigor
ates the liver. It fills the blood with the
life-giving elements of the food, and makes
it pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood
is the life current, and when it is filled with
the elements that build new and healthy
tissues, it does not take long to make a man
well and strong. It builds firm, muscular
flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve
fibers. It puts new life, vigor and vitality
into every atom and organ of the body. It
cures nervous exhaustion and prostration.
Nothing “just as good” can be found at
medicine stores.
“ I had suffered about eleven years with a pain
in the back of my head and back,” writes Mr.
Robert Hubbard, of Varner, Lincoln Co., Ark.
I suffered for eleven years and soent a great
deal of money for doctors and medicine, but did
not get relief. Then I tried four bottles of the
•Golden Medical Discovery’ and improved great

He had the courage of his convictions.
Whether us college boy in debate or up

the good name and reputation of others,
whether as citizen meeting fearlessly
the issues of life, whether as God’s ser
vant, combatting the last foe, far away
from his native city, he was the same
brave and indomitable spirit.
He was loyal and true in all his ac

deceptions. He was generous and for
giving. The sufferings of humanity
touched him deeply at all times and
deeds of generosity and charity, done in

up in shining letters to his credit in

He loved his family and his friends.
He was a devoted son and in the full

Though long years in this life were not
granted unto him, we know-^hat an all'

Hon. William L. Wilson, ex-postmas-
ter general, and now president of Wash
ington and Lee University, delivered a
masterful address last night at the Uni
versity chapel in the presence of a large
and cultured audience.
His subject was “National Expansion
and its Problems.” and his address was
strongly against the policy of imperial
ism.
Mr. Wilson outlined all the expansion
of the government npto the present
year and declared that every foot of
territory added was paid for and not
taken from a subjugated people. He
declared that no stain rested upon any
of that territoral acquisition. But he
declaredthat the territorial acquisition
now insisted on would be qnite different.
He declared that to follow in the

to him, three of whom survive. To the
bereaved wife, children and parents, the
sympathies of hosts of friends go ont in
this dark hour of affliction.
He was possessed of a most intense
reverence for all that was religions.
Beneath the outer surface ran a deep,
underlying strata that bound him to the
simple and saving faith of his parents
and which finally planted his feet upon
the everlasting Bock of Ages.
For twelve months he went through
tne tortures of consumption without a
murmur. He did not complain nor
upbraid that Providence which sorely
afflicted him. In those trying hoars, he

Mr. Thomas R. R. Cobb passed away
ferer ready and waiting, clad in the
after an illness of over a year.
This sad news was received in this
city yesterday about noon and it carried
sorrow to hundreds of hearts in this
community.
At the bedside of Mr. Cobb through
out his long illness and at the moment
of his death was his devoted wife, and
to her the shock mast have been over
powering.
Mr. William McK. Cobb, brother of
the deceased, has started West to meet
the train that will bear the remains to
Athens. It is expected that the remains
of Mr. Cobb will reach Athens Sunday
and the funeral will in all probability be
held in this city Sunday afternoon at
the residence of Judge and Mrs. Howell
Cobb, on Milledge avenne. More defl

Tribute of an Old College Mate.
There are times in the lives of men,
when, under the shadow of a crushing
grief, they fain would place the seal of
silence upon their lips and away from
human eyes qnaff to its bitter dregs their
cup of sorrow.
Thus it is with the writer of this ar
ticle, confronted as he with the solemn
dnty of chronicling the death of his old
friend and college classmate, Thomas R.
R. Cobb, for in this hoar his thoughts
are not dwelling upon pen or paper, nor
do they conjure up the beauties of
diction or rhetoric. The heart alone
speaks in this sacred bonr.
Far away in a city among the Colorado
hills he bad been passing through the
valley of the shadow until at the dawn
of yesterday God’s finger tonched his
tired eyelids into sleep, or rather let ns
say not sleep, for Death, with all its ter-

It is no easy task for ns to convince
ourselves that genial Tom Cobb is dead,
yet such is the fact, and knowing the
surroundings of his final moments, none
of ns could wish him back. Yet in the
hour of sorrow, there will come a yearn
ing to look again upon his manly form,
and from our lips will break forth the
sad lament,
“Oh for the touch of a vanished hand,
The sound of a voice that is still.”
As brave as Launcelot and as knight
ly as the royal Arthur himself, he has
gone
“To the island—valley of Avilion,
Where falls not hail, or rain or any
snow,
Nor ever wind blows loudly.”
From beneath the crushing weight of
human sorrow, the soul at last emerges
in its trne nature, and the acts of God
are justified by man. So from the heart
of his old college mate and friend goes
up this prayer tonight, “God rest thy
soul in peace, thon golden-hearted gen
tleman.”
course proposed would be to tear away
from all our past precedents and tradi
tions.
He declared that the acquisition of
alien races as citizens would not bring
good results.
He insisted^ that we will have to
maintain military governments among
these people and that the constitution
of the United States does not allow snch
to be done.
He instanced New Mexico to show
that it is no easy matter to prepare the
Spanish-American citizens for the
duties of statehood.
He demonstrated that the accession of
the Philippines would have a tendency
to lower the average of American en
lightenment and industry.
He declared it Impracticable to govern
these territories from Washington and
that that government that deals at long
range is the people’s master and the
people cannot be free.
His argument against a standing army
and a large navy was unanswerable.
He showed that before we talk of
Christianizing and civilizing the hea
then in the Philippines, we should fin
ish that job with the American Indians.
He emphasized the fact that this ac
quisition would bring np a race issue
and that race issues live for centuries
and can hardly ever be solved.
He declared that reciprocity with
Canada alone would bring abont a
greater enlargement of the trade area
than any accession of territory in the
Philippines.
Mr. Wilson’s address was one of great
ability and was highly appreciated by
the audience.

SIMPLY A TEST. 1
The Commissioners Make no Charges Against
Officers.
There is a mistaken impression out
that the county commissioners are
charging the officers of the conrt with
misappropriation of the funds arising
from the hire of convicts in this county.
Thisjis a mistake. The conunissione: s
simply constrne the law differently and
the matter will be placed before the
proper judicial officers for a con
struction.
The commissioners say they simply
want to get at the correct law of the
case, and were not making any charges
against anybody.
The officers of the conrt say that they
took the funds under a construction of
the law laid down by the ordinary, and
moreover that they believe the final ac-
tiou of the courts will sustain that con
struction.
Monday afternoon in Oconee county
the home of Adolphns Harden, colored,
was burned to the ground and in the
building two of Harden’s little children
were cremated.
Harden and his wife left their house
abont one o’clock Monday afternoon af
ter eating dinner and went out to the
cotton field to pick cotton. .
They left their two children, aged
five and three years respectively, in the
house, but before leaving tied one to a
bed post aud the other to a table.
The little fellows had been in the
habit of lighting when left alone and
their parents tied them apart to keep
them from fighting.
Late in the afternoon Harden noticed
a dense smoke arising from the direction
of his home and hastened to return to
see what was the matter.
When he reached the scene the honse
was a perfect sheet of flame, and it was
impossible to enter it. He was terror-
stricked for he know that this children
were in the honse burning to death.
After the fire died out, the charred
bones of the little children were taken
out of the debris and buried.
The fire doubtless originated from the
fire used in cooking dinner.

No citizen has a right to critioise

which may exist unless he is willing to
work, as all citizens should, to better
those conditions. Let him ask himself
if he has done his own duty before he
laments the fact that others have failed
in theirs. Let him be certain that he
understands the duties of citizenship in
his country. Few perfectly understand
their obligations as citizens, although
the subject is one to which every free
man should devote careful study. They
would then be capable of active and in
telligent effort aud would perceive the
folly of idle criticism. They WQnld then
know that liberty, like all things truly

The hunting season has opened and
the hearts of the sportsmen are light.
For some time the hunters have been
looking forward to November 1st, wflen
they wonld he able to-go ont and break
all previous records at bagging game.
Many Athenians took advantage of
the first day of the season, and since
November 1st there has been a large
number of enthusiasts in the field. The
dealers in gnns and ammunition have
been doing a large business for the last
few days.
Talking about hunting yesterday a
prominent dealer in ammoniation said:
“It will not be long before all the
game will be killed or diven within a
radios of five miles or so. Then there
will be expeditions for a distance of 15
to 60 miles.
"the quail, or partridge as it is com
monly called, is onr chief bird. We also
have in this vicinity doves and larks.
“People coming in from the country
says there is an abundance of squirrels
this year, and as for the rabbits, there
are always plenty of them.
“This is going to prove a fine season
for partridges. From all reports there
are a great many aronnd here. This is
due to the dry weather we had iu Jane.
That Is the month that tells on the
young birds, and if the weather is bad
many of them die. The law shortening
the season has also had a good effect.
The season formerly began in Septem
ber, later in October, and has now been
made to begin in November. This gives
the yonng game a chance—lets them get
big enough to take care of themselves.
“The markets and restaurants will be
loaded down with partridges. They
will be supplied by what is known as
‘pot hunters,’ men who kill the game
for the money they make, and not for
thesport. If the ‘pot hnnters’ were
allowed to have their way theie wonld
soon be no game in the county. Of all
occupations on earth the avocation of
the ‘pot hunter’ is one of the most con-
temptable. His mission in life is almost
the same as that of a murderer. Down
with the ‘pot hunter’ is the righteous
cry of all lovers oFlegitimate sport with
the gun.”

Many people were in hopes that the
22nd New York and 3rd New. Jersey
Regiments wonld arrive yesterday, but
they were disappointed.
As announced in yesterday’s Banner,
General Randall is not ready for the
troopers and he wired the war depart
ment requesting that a delay be made.
The department complied with his re
quest and marching orders were recalled.
The delay will not be for long, however,
as the camp will he ready for the recep-
tion of the soldiers before the end of the
week, and the moment snch is the case
the soldiers will be sent here. General
Randall thinks that two regiments at
least will arrive by Saturday, and
possibly more.
It will require only twenty-four hours
for the soldier boys to reach here after
making the start, and as yet General
Randall cannot state officially jnst when
the orders to move [south will be issued.
At the camps everything is progress
ing admirably, notwithstanding the

Officers Dean and Hamilton are pul
lers who pull. They pulled a drank
man last night and the intoxicated in
dividual was so beastly loaded that he
had to_be pulled twice. In other words
it was necessary to load him in a buggy
and pull him to headquarters.
The arrest was made abour midnight
on Thomas street, aud it took an hour
and a half to reach the lockup.
The man arrested couldn't stand up
and the officers were puzzled for a time
as to the best way to get him to the
“jug.”
The trouble was he had been inter
viewing a jng too often, which account
ed for his disinclination to sleep in one.
For the benifit of those not initiated in
slang parlance it might be well to state
that a “jng” is another name for a cell
in police headquarters. This was the
objectionable jng that Barth,—that s
his name, and he’s an Ireshman, kicked
against 1 . The policemen took him m

was used as a sort of black maria. Barth
was loaded across the rickety old seat
and Dean pushed and Hamilton shoved.
Through the streets of Athens, between

was Hamilton, who grunted at every
