DASH.
Vehicle Capsized and Ladles Hurt,
on Last Saturday.
Last Saturday evening while
Mrs. John Postell, who, accom
panied by Misses Rebecca Wofford,
Mary Lou Dobbs and Belle Law
hon, were returning from Rowland
Springs, the horse a spirited one,
belonging to Capt. Posted, assum
ed a gate far brisker than the ordi
nary while ascending a hill near
the Bob Rowan place. Mrs. Posted,
who was driving, tried to check
the horse by pulling on the lines,
W’hich proved the reverse of the
proper course—as the horse had
been driven on the track and was
accustomed to stop at the slacking
of the lines. As Mrs. Posted contin
ued to pud the lines the horse
moved faster until it was near a
runaway speed when it reached
the corner at Ed Ford’s. Here
one wheel ran off the edge of the
bridge, and the vehicle, a two-seat
ed surry, was turned bottom side
up and the occupants were tum
bled confusedly out. Miss Wofford
fed almost under the vehicle and
was worst hurt, and it was at first
thought received severe injuries
She was taken to Mrs. M. H. Ford's
and soon recovered. Mrs. Posted
received some ugly bruises and
scratches about the face. Misses
Dobbs and Lawhon were unhurt,
but ad the occupants of the vehi
cle were violently shaken up and
more or less stunned by their fad.
The horse fed heels up in the ditch
and there remained until assisted
out. The vehicle was torn to pieces.
EAST SIDE MJSSION-
Has Been Completed and Will Be
Dedicated Sunday, NoV. sth.
The East Side Mission chuich
has been completed and will be
dedicated on Sunday, November
sth, proximo.
The church has just been paint
ed and brushed up in many ways
and presents a neat and attractive
appearance. The construction and
completion of this church has been
largelv the work of Mrs. John Pos
tell, whose untiring energy and de
votion, with the assistance of a few
others, has erected a building of
which any community should feel
proud.
The dedication services will be
conducted by Rev. E. D. McDou
gall, assisted by Rev. E. M. Craig.
Mr. McDougall was pastor of the
Presbyterian church when this
building was begun, and assisted
in its construction in every way
that he could. It is appropriate

and recently sent to the peniten
tiary. He had been crazy for some

DEWEY AND HIS
mm trip
Admiral Declined to Become Cen
tral Figure in a Show-
THOUGHT BRUMBY’S GUEST-
When He Saw the Advertisements
to Draw the Crowds His
Health Failed.
New York, Oct. 23. —The Her
ald’s Washington correspondent
writes the following bit of gossip
about Amiral Dewey’s decision not
to visit Atlanta:
There has been considerable gos
sip and speculation here today rel
ative to the admiral’s sudden de
termination to decline to visit At
lanta on the occasion of the pre
sentaiion of a sword to Lieut.
Brumby.
The admiral bases his declina
tion on the advice of his physician.
Behind that is an interesting story.
The admiral originally promised
to visit Atlanta on Oct. 24. with
the distinct understanding that his
sole reason for doing so was to
show his personal regard for his
flag Lieut. Brumby, and also tq
emphasize his appreciation of Rep
resentative Livingston, of the At
lanta district, who offered the reso
lution in congress tendering a vote
of thanks to Dewey and the men of
his fleet. He stipulated particular
ly that he should not be required to
take a conspicuous part in the pro
ceedings, and insisted that the pro
gramme should be arranged so that
Lieut. Brumby would be the prin
cipal figure in the ceremonies at
Atlanta.
The programme was so arranged,
and preparations were made for
the admiral to leave here next
Monday night, to remain in At
lanta until the followihg Thursday.
Eater the programme was changed
so that Brumby was practically
lost sight of, and the demonstra
tion at Atlanta was advertised all
through the southern states as
“the south’s welcome to Dewey.”
The revised program was sub
mitted to Admiral Dewey last
Thursday and he immediately noti
fied the Atlanta commitee that the
alteratons were not satisfactory to
him. It was apparent that there
was a conflict between the state
and municipal authorities in Geor
gia as to whether the demonstra
tion should be a Dewey or a
Brumby affair.
REFUSED TO GO.
Not desiring to become involved
in the controversy, and insisting
that the original programme should
have been adhered to, the admiral
this morning telegraphed the com
mittee at Atlanta that he was oblig
ed to cancel his engagements to
visit that city and also other cities
to which invitations had been ac
cepted.
Every inducement possible was
today offered the admiral by Rep
resentative Livingston to recall his
declination and visit Atlanta as in
tended. The admiral was assured
that the programme would he
changed so that no reception, ban
quet, ball or other ceremony would
be arranged in the admiral’s honor,
if he w'ould only consent to be pres
ent at the state capital and witness
the presentation of the sword to
Lieut. Brumby. The admiral re
mained firm, and- insisted that he
could not go contrary to the advice
of his physician. Failure to secure
the attendance of Admiral Dewey,
an effort was made to induce Rear
Admiral Schley to take the for
mer's place in the festivities in At
lanta next week. He gracefully,
but positively, declined, on account
of official business.
It appears that the Atlanta peo
ple overplayed the Dewey busines-,
and must suffer the consequences
of their indiscretion.
Judg£ Fite Better.
The condition of Judge Fite yes
ferday was better than it has t.een
for a week, think those at his bed
side. Sunday morning he had a
violent convulsion which was fol
lowed by a state of coma, from
which he emerged and was bright
er and better, and birring sieges of
restlessness caused by rising fever,
his case has bemi continuing with
no turn for the worse. He is sti'l
critically ill, however.
FILIPINO PLANS DISCLOSED-
Cert. MacArthur Cains Important
IntelliKence from a Refugee.
Washington D. C., October., 21.
| —Recent mail advices irom Manila
throw considerable light on the ad
vance of Gen. Lawton’s force on
Tarlac, the insurgent capital, the
successful movement up to San
Isidro being covered in Gen. Otis’
dispatch to the war department to
day.
Before this movement began Gen.
MacArthur secured important in
formation from a Flip n > refugee
as to the mu u< ns in and about
Tarlac. He said Tarlac was occu
pied by ii.oovj insurgent troops,
and Aguiualdo maue his headquar
ters there. Another men
were at Bambam, half way between
MacArthur’s position and the in
surgents’ capital.
The apparent purpose of the in
surgents was to keep their force
concentrated as to be able to beat a
hasty retreat to the north, through
the narrow pass between Angeles
and Tarlac, in case of a rapid
American advance, such as Gen.
Lawton is now making.
Lawton’s movement is from the
east, however, whereas the insur
gent concentration has been with
the expectation that the next blow
would come from the south.
The Filipino refugee stated that
the towns and open country were
deserted, except by the insurgent
troops, as there are not sufficient
food for the fighting men and the
noneombatauts. and the latter were
forced to yield everything to the
soldiers.
FEAR THE FEVER.
South Georgia Towns Ask Protec
tion Against Miami Refugees,
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 21.—-Governor
Candler today called on Surgeon
General Wyman, of the marine hns
pital service lo project the towns
of south Georgia against the yellow
fever refugees from Miami, Fla.
According tit telegraphic reports
tiiat reached the chief executive
today from Surgeon Gen. Wyman
and the mayor of Savannah, the
fever conditions at Miami have
grown serious and seven new cases
were reported in the Florida town
today.
Governor Candler was informed
by Mayor Myers, of Savannah, that
the people of Miami were leaving
the place and that it was contem
plated running a refugee train from
the infect* and town to Atlanta.
The train would come over the
Plant system from Miami and
would touch at Savannah and quite
a number of south Georgia towns.
Tiie danger, according to Gov. Can
dler and the marine hospital au
thorities, is to these unprotected
South Georgia communities.
Georgia has no state board of
health and Gov. Candler was una
ble to act. Surgeon Genera! Wy
man replied to the effect that he
would direct his officers at once to
Miami and other Florida points to
see tiiat no refugees left the train
over the plant system at an.y to\ n
in South Georgia.
Mrs. Craft’s head
does not trouble her
any more and she
feels better than she
has for three years.
Mrs. Lydia Craft, of Larwood, Linn Cos,, Oreg.,
writes: “ X was sick for a long time with female
trouble but paid little
_____________ attention to it until
last winter ; I miscar

in a very weak cpn

I could not do any

got no relief. I went
to see the best doctor
