Brief Summary of Interesting
Happenings Culled at Random.
Now Military A<lvi*ory Board.
Governor Candler has eeiected
the new military advisory hoard
to serve for the ensuing two years,
and the names have been announced
in an order issued by Adjutant Gener
al dames W. Robinson.
The advisory board is composed of
eleven members selected from the vari
ous military organizations of the state, j
and performs the important functions
of investigating and passing upon mat- j
ters referred to it by the governor, j
Its decisions on matters military, how
ever, go to the governor in the shape 1
of recommendations and he may act
in accordance with them or not as he
Bees tit.
Right upon the heels of the order
eppomtiug the new board order No. 4
was issued from the office of Adjutant
General Robertson, railing a meeting
nt the capitol at 10 o’clock on Satur
day, March 23d.
dust what will come before the ad
visory board at that time is not
known. Governor Candler stated,
however, that there were no matters
of importance to be considered, ami
that the meeting of the board was
more for the purpose of complying
with the law than anything else.
The board will probably be called
upon to take formal aetiou with refer
ence to the four new companies recenlv
organised to be connected with the
First regiment, infantry. The organ
ization of a battalion of heavy artillery
from the Savannah Volunteer Guards
left four vacancies m tho First regi
ment, and there have been at least
tweuty applications of companies de
fining to get into the state service since
that time. While it has praticallv
been determined where the four new
companies will be located, and three
of them have already been mustered
in, no formal action on the matter has
ever been taken by the advisory board.
It has also been rt'jiorted that the
subject of the negro military companies
of the state, with reference to the re
commendation recently made by As
sistant Adjutaut General Phil G. Byrd,
that they be disbanded, will be fully
discussed.

County In Charge of fAinpi.
The Meßee convict camp ques
tiou has been settled. A commu
nication received at the office of
the prison commission a day or two
ago from the county commissioners of
Lowndes comity states that they have
assumed control of the convicts who
have been in the hands of the Mcßee
brothers and have appointed a captaiu
and guards to maintain the proper care
and watch over them.
This action on the pnrt of the com
missioners of Lowndes county is due
to a recent order from Gov. Candler,
recommended by the prison commis
sion, abolishing the McKee camp so
far as the lease of convicts to private
parties is concerned. The convicts
will hereafter be controlled entirely by
the commissioners through its cap
tains uud guards.

of the deed, work on the new passen
ger station must begin by at least July
Ist. All railroads uow entering the

SAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.
The skin is the seal of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of lace powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfiguring pimples.
Eternal vigilance is the price
of a beautiful complexion
when such remedies are relied on.
Mr. H. T. Shobe, 2704 Lucas Avenue, St. Louis,
Mo., says : “My daughter was afflicted for yeats
with a disfiguring eruption on her face, which
resisted all treatment. She was taken to two
celebrated health springs, but received no bene
fi*. Many medicines were prescribed, but with
out result, until we decided to try S. S. K., and by
the time the first bottle was finished the eruption
began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly smooth
She ts now- seventeen years old. and not a sign of
the embarrassing disease has ever returned.’’
S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for
the worst forms of skin troubles. It is
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the
only one guaranteed purely vegetable.
Bad blood makes bad complexions.

BRITISH BAYONETS
CONFRONT RUSSIANS
The Dispute at Tien Tsin
Grows More Ominous.
QUESTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS
A Pekin Dispatch Says Germans
Loot a Town What our Rep
resentative Is Doing.
Advices from Tien Tsin, China,
state that the British and Russians
are disputing over the limits of rail
way property in the Russian conces
sion, and the guards of the two na
tions are in close proximity to each
other.
The British have been strongly re
enforced and trouble is imminent un
less the Russians retire.
The Russians are now intrenching in
the disputed territory. A company of
the Hong Kong regiment, with fixed
bayonets, is in front, whi e two com
panies of the Madras Pioneers, under
the command of Major Johnson, are
held in reserve.
Both the Russians and the British
are awaiting instructions from their
governments.
FKICTION AN ADMITTED FACT.
A London special says: A question
in the bouse of commons Friday,in re
gard to the news from Tien Tsin an
nouncing friction between the Rus
sians and British there elicited a con
firmation from Lord George Hamiltou,
the secretary of state for India, who
said Rnssia had claimed the land in
dispute by virtue of a concession al
leged to have been granted by China
since the disturbances commenced.
The authorities on the spot were deal
ing with the matter. The government
had not sent special instructions, as,
throughout the Chinese operations,
the Britist officers had shown a spirit
of excessive conciliation.
LOOTED BY GERMANS.
A cablegram from Pekin says: It
was reported at the United States le
gation by Rev. W. S. Ament, of the
local staff of the American board of
foreign missions, that the Germans
bad visited the prosperous market
town of Nau Ming, sixty miles from
Pekin, and completely looted it, and
that they had also ransacked and des
ecrated a native Christian chapel and
despoiled women of their trinkets,
even taking rings out of their ears and
generally ill-treating the natives.
The attitude of M. de Giers iegard
ing further punishments is delaying
the demand of the ministers of the
powers upon the Chinese aud the matter
has been referred to the home govern
ments. Mr. Rockhill, the American
special commissioner, says that practi
cally he is in favor of drawing a clean
sheet over additional executions, but
that certain high officials throughout
the provinces are guily of most bar
barous crimes and that it is generally
recognized that these must be punish
ed if only as u warning to others.
Iu every case where leniency was
possible Mr.Rockhill has advocated it,
but he has felt that in a few cases len
iency was out of the question. He
said M. de Giers had virtually agreed
to certain additional punishments,but
that the change in his attitude is pre
sumably attributable to Russia’s an
noyance at the interference of the
others in the Manchuria affair. .
At the latest meeting of the minis
ters, M. de Giers vehemently ebeiared
that he would rather see his right
hand cut off than consent to further
decapitations.
As regards questions of indemnity,
individual American claims, Mr. Rock
hill says, under the agreement agreed
upon by the ministers, will be paid in
almost every case. The arrangement
he considers satisfactory and fair to
both Chinese and foreigners.
FOR OBSTRUCTING SIDEWALK
Mrs. Nation Arrested In Kansas City
And Ordered to Leave Town.
Mrs. Carrie Nation, who has been
visiting in Kansas City for a few days,
was arrested in Union avenue near the
union depot Friday for obstructing
the sidewalk where she had stopped
to harangue a crowd. She was re
leased on her promise to depart on the
next train for Topeka.
