As Principal Physician of tieurgln'f
Penitentiary.
Dr. T. M. McIntosh, principal
keeper of the penitentiary, lias re
signed. liis resignation was sent b
Governor Atkinson some three weeks
ngo. It was accepted, aud Dr. E. li.
Bush, of Colquitt, Miller county, was
tendered the position.
Tho announcement caused great sur
prise throughout the state, ns it was
thought that Dr. McIntosh wns se
curely installed iu office. Tlio fact
that the physician relinquished his
office wns kept severely quint for some
time. When the letter containing his
resignation onmo in tho governor was
convalescent from liis extreme illness,
and it was uot deemed wise to make
public the fact until a suitable suc
cessor could lie selected iu order that
the flood of applicants might be
cheeked. Iu the meantime Dr. Bush
accepted the appointment.
For some time Dr. McIntosh lind
liis resignation under consideration.
Since his appointment lie has found
that the duties attendant upon his o 1
tlee require liis absence from Thomas-
xille, w here he resides, so frequently
tlist it is impossible to keep up with
liis home practice.
Ho found also that to attend to tin-
affairs devolving upon him it would
be necessary to move to Atlanta. Thi
he did not care to do, aud it was b
this that he decided, after long coi
sideration, to send in his resignutio-.
to tho governor.
RANSOM DEBARRED
ACCORDING TO AC TING ATTOR
NEY-GENERAL CONRAD.
Ho Cannot Legally Draw HI* Pay an»!
Owes tlio Salary Already Drawn.
A Washington special Hays: Hon.
Matt W. Ransom, of North Carolina, is
no longer minister of tho United States
to Mexico. That office was practically
declared vacant Friday by a decision
rendered by Mr. Holmes Conrad, so
licitor general of tho United States
and acting attorney gencrul. Mr.
Ransom's incumbency was declared to
be contrary to the federal constitution,
and tho acting attorney general sus
tained the action of Mr. Thomas Hol
comb, auditor of tho treasury for tho
state department, in declining to pass
favorably upon Mr. Ransom's vouchers
for salary and expenses.
Tho decision of tho acting attorney
general was based on a question raised
by Auditor Holcomb as to tho legality
of Air. Ransom’s appointment to the
Mexican mission, in view of tho exist
ence oh section 2, article 0, of the
constitution, which declares that "no
senator or representative shall, during
the time for which ho was elected, he
appointed to any civil o/13go under the
authority of the United Htatos which
shall havo beeu created or the emolu
ments whereof shall have been in
creased during such timo.”
This provision apparently fitted the
case of Mr. Ransom, for lie wns nomi
nated by I’resident Cleveland and con
firmed by the senate before his term
of ufllco ns senator from North Caro
lina had expired, and during that
term the salary of the Mexican mis
sion had been increased $r»,000 a year.
Air. Ransom was elected to the sen
ate in 1872 nnd served continuously
from April 24th of that year until
February 23, 1895, when bis nomina
tion to the Mexican mission was sent
to the somite and immediately con
firmed by that body, aud until the
4tli of March, when his term expired
and his commission as minister toAIex-
ico was signed by the president. He
was a member of the senate when tho
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill was passed, which contained a pro
vision raising the post of minister to
Alexico from a mission of tho second
chos to a mission of the first class,
nnd increasing the salary of tho office
from $12^>()() to $17,500 a year. It is
due to Afr. Ransom’s occupancy of a
scat in the senato chamber nt that time
that ho is today without nu office aud
that lie is technically a debtor to tho
government for the amount of salary
he has drawn since assuming his di
plomatic post. Whether or not. ho
voted in favor of tho increase is of no
consequence; the fnot that ho wns a
member of the senate when it passed
the diplomatic and consular hill, ns
stated, operated against him holding
in a legs! manner any federal civil
office, "which shall have been created,
or tho emoluments whereof shall have
been increased” during the time for
whioh he was elected senator.
INDIANS IN THE RIGHT.
Tho Roport of Agent Totor is In Their
Favor.
The report of Indian Agent Tctor,
of tho Fort flail reservation, upon the
rocont Ran nock trouble was received
at tho Indian bureau at Washington
Tuesday. It confirms the heretofore
published accounts of the killing of the
Bannock Indians.
In connection with the killing of
theso Indians an interesting report has
been received by tho secretary of the
interior forwarded from tho war de
partment. It is from Captain J. T.
Vanoradale, of the Seventh United
States cavalry, formerly acting agent
«»f tho Fort Hall reservation. Tho re
port says in part:
Being short rationed and far from
self-supporting, the Bannocks hunt for
the purpose of obtaining austenanec
By troaly they are granted this privi
lege. It would seem that tho killing
of these Indians under the ciroum
stances was notning more nor lesi
than murder. Further, l believe that
thero ia no wanton slaughter of game
by theso Indians, while it is a notori
ous fact that hundreds of tho animals
aro killed by white men for noth
ing more than heads and horns.
There aro men that country
who make it a husinoa to pilot
hunting parties from tho east and
abroad, which not only slaughter elk,
but capture and ship Ihetn out of the
country. The killing of game by tlv
ludiaus interferes with this busines*.
Tho Indians can hardly be expected to
submit to the killing of their people
while engaged in an occupation which
they think they have a right to follow,
more quietly than white men, and
failure by the government to take
proper action is liable to result in se
rious loss of life and property.”

From th 1 .i Keowee Courser, Walhallci, 8. C,
For sovcral y'svrs Mrs. Mary Houter, wife
of Mr. Willia n Hunter, of Mountain Hast,
Ooonoo County, 8. C., wai a constant suf
ferer from rheumatism an4 coul l fln«l no re
lief, even though she consulted tho boitf doc
tors and tried ovory romely prescribe! by
the most eminent physicians of tho South.
But she flunity stumble 1, ns it were, on a
inodloine which wrought her euro In a sim
ple, but nevertheless n most remarkable,
rnxmner. Much wns her exp wlonoe, aud toe
the benefit of suffering humanity she con
sented to an Interview touching her peculiar
"Yes, It Is truo that I ha l chronic rheu
matism of long standing.” said Mrs. Hunter
to a reporter, "afid the mwt celebrated phy
sicians of South Carollnv could effect n)
cure. But I have boon cure t, and that com
pletely." And she spoke the words with a
bright amlloand cheerful countenance.
“I am sixty-six years of age,” she con
tinued, “ami about flvo yearn ngo I began to
suffer from acute rheumatism. The pain
soon became constant, an 1 for four years I
could And no relief. I eouhl not remain still
in any position, either lying, sitting, walk
ing or standing. There win no rest nor ease
for mo, and thus It contlnuod until lift' Itself
became a burden. During theso years 1 con
sulted severnl of the mo*t capable and emi
nent physicians of our *Hnto and took ttiotr
proscriptions. But Hhort nnd temporary wat
the relief afforded by any ->f them, and some
failed to give any relief at all. The malady
would return with accumulated for *o after
every period of temporary suspension, and at
la*t It seemed that my fan ' w-vs hopeles*.
“About this time I revived a letter from
my stator, Airs. Lucinda Htewart, of Tex a*,
who wrote me to try Dr. Williams’ l’ink Bill*
for Palo People nnd she told me h »w muoh
good they had dene her. Hhe had been sick
for seven years and hod ha*l two stroke.! of
paralysis. None of the doctors of Texa*
could do anything for her, an l h r cure
seemed Impossible. But shewn toll by v
friend to try Dr. Williams’ Piuk Pill*, nnd#!n
at last did so. Hhe wrote that she had taken
only half a box when she experience! n d t-
dded change for th" better, and s >on she folt
like a young girl again, even though she w.u
over forty years old. In a sh'»rt time sh >
was cured, and she ia now enjoying god
health.
“But, even after receiving that letter, it
was Homo time before I c.»u*ont« l to try the
pill*. 1 continued to rooeive treatment from
physicians for a ytMir or more, bovniso I ha I
little or no faith In patent medicine* of any
kind. But finally, lx*lng reduced to a dire
extremity, aud nil else falling, l concluded
to write for one box of the pills, and did * ».
Within a week after l»cglnnltig to take them
I commenced feeling better, and when tho
first box whs used I ordered six boxes. But
two more boxes effected juy cure, and that
permanently, too; Jyf during the past year I
have been entirely free from rheumatic pains,
and count my euro complete. Hlnco then I
have given the pills to <»th**r members of my
family, nnd in no Instance have they failed
to give speedy and permanent relief. I am
convinced that the pill* arc all that Dr. Will
iams claims for them, and moro too 1 cheer
fully recommend them to all sufferers."
To confirm her statement of fact* iwyond
all doubt*, Mrs. Hunter made the following
aflhlnvlt:

How 3Vany Apples Did They Eat?
"Can you tell me,” said Will to Bob,
"bow many apples Adam nnd Evo ate
in the garden of Eden?”
"That's a chestnut!” Bob auswored.
"Evo ate ouo and Adam ate, too; that,
makes three.”
"You don’t add correctly, Bob. Tho
total is 163.”
"How do you make that out?”
"Why, as you said, Evo ate one (81)
and Adam ate, too (82). Add 81 and
82 together, and you get 163, don't
you?”
Bob thought a moment and then ex
claimed; "I guess thoy ate more, after
all. Eve ate, for one (841), and Adam
nto too (82). Total, 923.”
"Oh, I can do better than that,”
said will. Eve, for one, ato ouo (1181)
ami Adam, too, ate ouo (281). That
makes a total of 4,362. Cau you beat
that?”
"Yes, indeed ! How is this? Evo ate
one, for oue (8,141), and Adam ate,
one too (812). That is a total of 8,953.
Now it’s your turn.”
"I’ll quit,” said Will. "They must
have eaten tho whole crop.”—New

A Word to Iho Sleepless.
Dr. J. E. Huxley, of Maidstone,
England, thinks he has hit upon the
natural remedy for sieeplessneBB. It
is, in brief, to curl under the clot lies
like a kitten, or put the bead under
tho wing like a hen. He says: "This
insomnia seems to be now a universal
affliction. Wo live wrongly; sit up
late and overwork the brain, and then
go to bed iu an excited condition. No
one seems to have hit upon the natural
remedy. I think I have. People take
chloral and tho like at their peril, and
tho fatal conseqnenco nut seldom en
sues. It is all wrong, for you cannot
control the dose required for the exact
circumstances. But try nature’s plan
instead. Lower the supply of oxygen
to the blood, produce a little asphyxia,
limit the quantity of air to the lungs
and heart, and circulation becoming
quicker, the brain loses its stimulant
anti sleep follows. When you find
yourself "iu” for a sleepless night,
cover your head with the bed-clothes
and breathe and rebreatho only tho
respired air. Thus you may reduce
the stimulating oxygen ami fall asleep.
There is no danger. When asleep you
aro sure to disturb the covering and
get as much fresh air as you require,
or when once drowsiness has beeu
produced, it is easy to go on sleeping,
though the air be fresh. What do tbo
cat and dog do when they prepare to
sleep? They turn urouud generally
three times, and lastly bury their noses
in some hollow in their hair aud "off”
they go. They are in no danger,
although it might look as if they were
from the closeness with which they
embed their noses.”—Medical Dress
and Circular.
