GROVERS HEALTH
Is the Topic Which is Now a Wash
ington Text to Preach On.
BUT HU IS NOW ALL RIGHT*
Except a Few Summer Troubles—Monday,
June 25, Date for Final Vote on the
Tariff— Mr. tariisie s Denial.
■ From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington, June 15,1894.
President Cleveland’s health is
once more the text upon which the
Washington exaggerators are
preaching the same old sermons.
iTe called in a doctor this week be
cause of a little trouble with his
stomach, such as most of us are lia
ble to have at this season, and the
doctor told him to keep quiet for a
few days. That is the whole un
adorned story. He has not stopped
transacting business for a single
day. He only cut down the amount
of work he usually does for a day
or two, in order to comply with tho
doctor’s orders, and he is now all
right again; but the sermons will
be kept up until anew text is found.
Recognizing the fact that the
democratic senators had about ex
hausted their stock of patience and
were about to force matters, Sen
ator Aldrich, on behalf of the re
publican senators, proposed to Sen
ator Harris that Monday, June 25,
be set as the date for taking the
final vote on the tariff hill. Sen
ator Harris declined to accept, lie
cause he is satisfied that a vote can
be reached before that date, or cer
tainly not later, without any agree
ment. The income tax is the only
thing remaining to be disposed of
that is likely to consume much
time. Senator Hill will make a
long speech against it, but, like the
rest of the hill, it cannot be defeat
ed, Decause the votes to pass it have
been pledged.
The delay of the senate in pass
ing the tariff hill will make it nec
cessary to pass a joint resolution
/extending the appropriation bills
for the current fiscal year into the
new one that begins July 1, as not
1 a single one of the regular appro
priation bills has been touched by
the senate, although eight of them
have neen passed by the house and
the rest of them could he disposed
of in the next two weeks if the sen
ate was ready for them.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin, of
the treasury department, has gone
to the Pacific coast upon a some
what peculiar errand. For some
years there have been constant
scandals in connection with the ad
ministration of the customs service
in that section, and, according to
the reports of special agents sent
out by the treasury department,
so powerful have the combinations
engaged in smuggling opium, Chi
nese, etc., become that persons who
dare oppose them are sued tor libel
in the local courts and practically
driven from their homes by the in
fluence of the smugglers upon the
workings of the legal machinery.
The reports of the special agents
have been of such an extraordinary
nature that Secretary Carlisle, who
was unable because of pressure of
other business to go himself, re
quested Mr. Hamlin to go and
make a thorough investigation.
Should he find things as they have
been reported to be steps will he
taken that will teach some people
a never to be forgotten lesson.
“I never exchanged a word with
Mr. Cleveland or in his company in
my life, and J have never seen the
man” These were the words used
bv Mr, Havemeyer, the president
of the sugar trust, when asked by
Senator Gray,chairman of the sen
ate investigating committee,wheth
er he had held a conversation on
Mr. Benedict’s yacht in the sum
mer of 1892 with President Cleve
land, as alleged by one of the news
paper correspondents who has been
indicted by the grand jury. No de
nial couhl possibly be more con
vincing than that, although no de
nial was needed to convince the
American people that Grover
Cleveland had never been a party
to a bargain with the sugar trust or
any other trust or person. He owes
to the fact that he never would
make bargains in polities some of
the most persistent personal ene
mies he has,
Mr. Havemeyer made another
statement that democrats ought to
piste in their hats to spring on re
publicans who accuse the demo
crats of favoring the sugar trust.
He was asked what profit the sugar
trust would make if the sugar
schedule became a law. His reply
was: “About one-fourth of what
we make under the McKinley law.”
If faking away three-fourths of its
profits can be called favoring the
sugar trust the democratic party
should not object to pleading guilty
to the charge.
A sub-committee ot five members
of the house committee on banking
and currency began work today,
under special instructions from
that committee, upon a bill provid
ing for a comprehensive system of
currency and banking, an improve
ment upon the national hanks. Al
though the sub-committee is di
rected to report this bill by the 27th
inst., the committee does not ex
pect it to be acted upon at this ses
sion. It merely desires to get it
perfected and reported to the house,
in order that it may be discussed
by the people before the opening of
the next session.
NiILHSBOKO HIGH SCHOOL
Commencement Exercises Prove a Successful
and Interesting Event.
The commencement of Stilesboro
High School passed off very nicely
and much to the credit of the
school. The commencement ser
mon was preached June 10th by
Dr. J. B. Gambrel!, president Mer
cer University.
Monday morning was the prima
ry exhibition under the manage*
ment of Miss Blanche Middle
brooks. The little fellows acquit
ted themselves very well, and Miss
Blanche received much praise for
getting up such an entertainment.
The champion debate hy mem
bers of the Henry W. Grady socie
ty occurred Monday night. The
subject discussed was, “Resolved,
That the world is growing better.”
The affirmative speakers were, F.
R. Masters, i.f Leonard, Texas, and
J. L. Davis, of Taylorsville, Ga.
The negative speakers were, J. G.
Colbert and J. W. Jackson, both of
Stilesboro. Colonel Conner was
president, and he rendered the de
cision in favor of the negative.
I'rofessor Sharp had offered a nice
gold medal for the best speech de
livered. J. W. Jackson received it.
We should have said that Thos. B.
Puckett, of this place; was saiuiaio
rian. He reviewed the subject and
introduced the speakers, at the
same time getting off some good
jokes on the boys.
Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock
there was a Demorest contest by
six boys. Mr. Jackson received
this medal also.
At 11 o’clock was the literary ad
dress before the Amasorian and H.
W. Grady societies, by ltev. W. L.
Harrell, of Euharlee. Mr. Harrell’s
address was one that Is equaled by
few and excelled by none.
The girls had a contest Tuesday
night for a gold medal offered by
Professor Sharp. The judges said
the contest was very close, but
awarded the medal to Miss Susie
CunyUs.
Wednesday morning were the
graduating exercises. First was
History, hy Miss Susie Cunyus;
second, Prophecy, by J. G. Colbert;
third, Valedictory, by Miss Mary
Brandon. Then came the bacca
laureate address by the president
of the institution, which was good,
indeed, after which was the pre
sentation ot diplomas.
The annual concert, which con
sisted of a sunflower chorus and a
play, entitled “An Afflicted Fami
ly,” came off Wednesday night.
Thus the exercises closed, having
been enjoyed by all. The chapel
was full all the time, and better or
der w'as never known.
Ninety-four Club.
The club meets this evening at
the residence of Mr. W. C. Baker.
The program is as follows: Subject,
Gen. Lew Wallace; paper, Mrs. J.

For the Legislature.
The friends of Dr. J. S. Beazley,
of Stilesboro, are urging him to
place hfis name before the people as
a candidate for the democratic
nomination for representative in
the lower house of the general as
sembly. Dr. Beazley is a true blue
democrat, and is a man of splendid
information and if elected would
represent the people with fidelity
and ability.
Perfect health is seldom found, for
Impure blood isso general. Hood’s Sar
saparilla really does purify the blood
and restores health.

~LAWN PARTY-
A Pleasant Evening and a Profitable Return
to the Promoters.
The lawn party given hy the la
dies of the Presbyterian church at
Mrs. Young’s last Friday, was quite
a success in every way, and at
tracted a large number of both old
and young, who took advantage of
the opportunity to spend a pleasant
social evening.
The large lawn was beautifully
lighted with countless numbers of
Japanese lanterns, and dotted here
and there was tables just large
enough to seat four people. The
refreshments consisted of sand
wiches and coffee, ice cream, cake
and lemonade, and all was served
for a quarter.
The interesting feature of the
evening was tjie eake walk which
took place on the tennis court, and
with the large audience arrayed on
two sides of the court the contest
ants entered the arena as follows:
Mr. VV. W. Young and Miss Irene
Stalnaker; Mr. P. S. Shelman and
Miss Bailie Quillian; Mr. W. D.
Johnson and Miss Laura Graham;

the first prize, which was a large
.and han.J arn * rate, nml wrr wre*
Ewer, and Miss Cora Graham re
ceived the booby prize, a very pret
ty bouquet of flowers.
The receipts tor the evening
showed forty-eight dollars in the
hands of the treasurer and the la
dies feel well repaid for their trou
ble. The Money goes to the organ
fund of the Presbyterian church.
Three Rivals
There are three young men in
Cartersville who are rivals for the
favors of one of the fairest of Car
tersville’s many pretty girls, and
each of them vies with the other
in marked attentions and courte
sies. Last week more than usual
interest was developed when rival
No. 2 learned that rival No. 1 had
presented the fair charmer with a
dozen soda water tickets, with the
hope that she would find it con
venient to use them while shopping
during the warm and oppressive
weather. No. 2 forthwith invested
a silver wheel in soda tickets and
had them delivered on a silver
waiter. No. 3 was not long in dis
covering the tricks of his rivals and
their methods of ingratiating them
selves into the good graces of the
fair one, and determined that he
would “out Herod Herod” in the
matter of soda tickets. He sought
the proprietor of a popular soda
fountain and purchased a season
ticket which would entitle the
young lady and all of her lriends
to drink to their hearts content un
til tile frost king shall close the sea
son of ice and iced drinks. Who
will be the winner?
Rev. VV. F. Quillian.
The Methodist church is ex
periencing a prosperous year un
der the pastorate of the above able
divine. Dr. Quillian has already
added sixty-five names to the mem
bership roll and has by broad, wise
and conservative methods been in
strumental in building up the
church in eVery way and establish
ing complete haimony among his
membership. His sermons arc al
ways able, earnest and impressive
of the pure gospel type, and he is
never without a good congregation.
His manner is entirely free from
ostentation and he is very popular
with his church and the people.
Di. Quillian’s health is greatly im
proved since lie came to Carters
ville, and lie now evinces a splendid
vigor.

Criticising A Young
“She would be a pretty girl but for
one thing.’’
“What’s that?” asked Charley.
George —“Her face is always covered j
with purple and red blotches.”
Charlie—“Oh, that’s easily enough
disposed of. Used to be the same way
myself, but I caught on to the trouble
one day, and got rid of it in no time.”
George-“ What was it?”
Charlie—“ Simply blood eruptions.
Took a short course of P.P. P. 1 tell you,
it’s the boss blood corrector. The gov
ernor had rheumatism so bad that you
could hear him holler clear across the
county every time he moved. He tried
it, and you know w'hat an athletic old
gent he is now'. If somebody would give
Miss Daisy a pointer, she would thank
them afterwards. Ail the drug stores
sell it.

That builds up both their flesh and

in all medicine that can equal the
“Discovery.”
In recovering from “Grippe,” or
in convalescence from pneumonia,
fevers, or other wasting diseases, it
speedily and surely invigorates and
Guilds up the whole system. As an
appetizing, restorative tonic, it sets
at work all the processes of diges
tion and nutrition, uses every organ
into natural action, and brings back
health and strength.
For all diseases caused by a torpid
liver or impure blood, Dyspepsia,
Biliousness. Scrofulous, Skin, and
scalp diseases—even Consumption
(or Lung scrofula) its earlier stages
—the “Discovery” is the only guar
anteed remedy.
If it doesn’t benefit or cure, in
every case, you have your money
