instant, at 4 o’clock an interesting

ing parties being Mr. Edward L.
Jackson and Miss Florence Tay

The wedding was a quiet home
affair, only the relatives of the cou

The ceremony was performed by
Rev. C. A. Jamison, of Kingston,
after which an elegant supper was
served by Capt. and Mrs. Browne.
The bride is from Piqua, Ky.,
and is a niece of Mrs. Browne,

charming and worthy young wo

The groom is one of the most
honorable, energetic, worthy and
popular citizens of the county. He

of Griffin, Jackson & Cos., furniture
dealers.
The best wishes of a host of

For Mayor and Aldermen-
Editors Conrant Ameiican
I want to suggest the following
ticket for mayor and aldermen: For
mayor: W. H. Howard; , for aider
men, from first ward, J. C. Wofford;
from second ward T. R.’ Jones; from
third ward. Thos. Lumpkin; from
fourth ward, Jos. S. Calhoun.
These gentlemen have the inter
ests of Cartersville at heart and are
progressive and liberal minded.
They will not enter into a scramble
for municipal honors but I believe
will serve if elected and put forth
their best efforts to promote our
city’s advancement in moral and
material interests.
Let us for one time be united,
elect these men and watch Carters
ville grow!

HAVOC Ail
THE STILLS'
An industry That Has Received a
Staggering Blow-
A LARGE NUMBER DESTROYED.
Deputy Collector Carter Makes a
Recent Successful Rata In Mur
ray County.
It is singular how the illicit still
business continues to flourish in
some of the counties, notwithstand
ing the constant efforts of the
agents of the government to stop
the practice. One would hardly
believe, at a casual thought that
so much as $15,000 worth of still
property could be found to be de
stroyed in the compass of about
three counties in one month, yet
Mr. Bartow Cartel has taken
charge of nearly that much, the
figures being $14,500 in the coun
ties of Paulding, Cherokee and
Murray. This represents twelve
stills, a quantity of whisky and
two wagons.
Mr. Carter has just returned
from a raid made in Murray county,
where he found four stills, destroy
ing them and taking charge of the
property usually seized by the
government. He went out from
Ualton last week, accompanied by
Jasper Jones, of this place, and
John Tyler, of Whitfield. The
four stills were found without trou
ble and no resistance was given to
their seizure. The largest was of
ninety gallon capacity and had
been running, it is supposed, for
some time. On hand was found
between three and four thousand
gallons of whisky and mash. The
mash was destroyed and the whisky
was shipped from Dalton to At
lanta.
. “Cleve” Did It.
The oft heard expression “Cleve
land did it,” it seems has been ta
ken up even by the colored broth
er. A few days ago a rather aged
but robust’ son of Ham went into
Judge Hendricks’ office and, with
a very earnest air said:
“See heah jedge what about dat
ar penshum what de niggah gwine
git?”
“Why that’s all a fake; surely
you haven’t got an idea the United
States is going to pension yoli fel
lows that were in slavery?” said
the judge.
“Yes I is got sich a idea and dey
gwine to do it, too, but den I
thought I mout ax you what you
thought about it.”
“Well, they’re not going to do
anything of the kind, you can
bank 011 that. There’s no use you
folks being deceived and paying
out your little dribs for nothing.”
“O, but jedg , you shorely is
mistaken, you see dey pass de bill
twelve year ago and old Cleve, he
come in and he des th’ow de bill
away. Dey des now foun’ de bill
dat old Cleve he th’ow away, an'
dey shore gwine to penshum us
niggahs.”
While the judge was enjoying a
good laugh his visitor departed
with feelings of pleasure caused by
the still unshaken hope of the good
things ahead.
Contracts for New Cruisers-
Washington, Nov. 27. —Con-
tracts for the six new 3,500-ton
cruisers were awarded today at the
navy department, in atcirdance
with the recommendations of the
board of construction, one to each
of the following firms: William
R. Trigg, of Richmond, Va.; Lewis
Nixon, of Elizabeth, N. J.; the
Bath Iron Works, of Bath, Me.;
the Union Iron Works, of San
Francisco, Cal,; .the Fore River
Engine company of Braintree.
Mass., and Neafie & Levy, of
Philadelphia. All the boats are to
be constructed in accordance with
the department’s designs.
Admiral Schley Sails-
New York, Nov. 25. —Rear Ad
miral Schley, of the South Atlantic
squadron, sailed today on his flag
ship, Chicago, for Santa Lucia,
Windward group, where he will
coal. Thence he will sail to Bahia
and Buenos Ayres. In the Platte
he will pick up the Montgomery
and the Wilmington.
When asked if he had anything
to say to the public Rear Admira
Schley held up both hands and ex'
claimed: “Absolutely nothing.”
REPORT DENIED-
Judge Wofford Never Cri tloir, ed
Governor Stephens.
A report has been published in
the papers that Judge John W.
Wofford, who once lived here, had
criticised Gov. Stephens. Answer
ing this statement the following
telegram has appeared:
Jefferson City. Mo., Nov. 26. —
A report was sent out from Kan
sas City last week which appeared
in sever tl of the daily papers, to
the effect that Judge Wofford re
cently criticised * lovernor Ste
phens an 101 to Mss < .ri govern
ers for t.icir u ovise exercise of the
pardoning power. It i- known
that Governor Su-phcus and Judge
Wofford are on tlie fri mi lliest of
terms, and that the governor has
seldom, if ever, exercised clemency
toward Kansas City prisoners with
out first conferring with the trial
judge. The report, therefore, at
tracted but little attention at the
capitol.
The subjoined letter from James
A. Keed, prosecuting attorney of
Jackson county, was received at
the executive office today:
“Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 25,
1899. —Honorable Lon V. Ste
phens, Jefferson City, Mo. —My
Dear Governor: Relative to the
newspaper clipping which you
handed me, in which the statement
was made that Judge Wofford had
severely criticised you, I have to
say that I talked with the judge
this morning, and he informs me
that he never made the statements
c mtained in the paper, and fur
ther, that he had written you I
was satisfied that he never made
the statements contained in the pa
per, but was glad to have my opin
ion co .firmed,
“James A. Reed,
Prosecuting Attorney of Jackson
County.”
Santiago’s r uture-
New York, Nov. 28. —Gen. Leon
ard Wood, governor general of the
province of Santiago de Cuba, was
a passeuger on the transport Mc-
Pherson, which arrived from San
tiago today. Gen. Wood said:
“I have no knowledge ofithe bus
iness for which I am called to
Washington beyond the order to
report.
“The condition of Santiago in re
lation to public affairs is improv
ing daily. We employ many men
on public works, such as roads, etc.
The people are employed and con
tented. We have no destitution
and excepting a period after the
great storms and hurricanes, when
the rains washed the crops out of
the ground in many places, we have
not issued rations. This issue was
less than 1,000. I have great hopes
for the early development of the
mining industries of Santiago prov
ince with its wonderfully rich de
posits of iron, copper and zinc ores,
which are bound to add to the pros
perity of the island.”
This is weather in which all need
underwear —your wants can easily
be supplied at Vaughan’s—their
assortment is larger and more
economical.
There ie to-day a crying need of a ref
ormation in the treatment of the body.
The basis of this refotmation is to be found
in the thesis of Dr. R. V. Pierce: “Dis
eases which originate in the stomach must
be cured through the stomach.”
In the thirty odd years of Dr, Pierce’*
experience as chief
consulting physician
to the Invalids’ ||V'
Hotel and Surgical
Institute in Buffalo, f\
N. V., he has treated '/D
more than half a Wm g ■ •'
million people, with tfjlW : ,
a record of ninety- [Wm f///\ ||
eight cures in every Z* (Uj
hundred. The theory'"-**, i ii'l
held by Dr. Pierce gif'* Y!

out by the success ’'X Vi I mBOUGH
of his treat me n t \ MYrttiK}!
which is addressed \ iflnH
primarily to the 1/ \\\ u

organs of digestion f J A

No other medicine M 7 V WB
acts so powerfully \7jfTTL_
and as perfectly on /CJ
the stomach and [jj
other organs of di- Lr

Medical Discovery. Men and women af
flicted with shortness of breath, heart dis
ease, suffocation, dizziness, spots before the
eyes, "liver pains,” and similar ailments
nave beer, promptly and perfectly cured by
the use of " Golden Medical Discovery.”
Thomas A. Swart*, of Sub-Station C.. Colum
bus. Ohio, Box 103, writes : “ I was taken very
sick with severe headache, then cramps in the
stomach, and my food would not digest, then
kidney and liver trouble, and my back got so
weak I could scarcely get around. At last I had
all these at once, atid I gave money to the doc
tors whenever I thought they would do me any
good, but the more I doctored the worse I got,
until six years passed. I had become so poorly
I could only walk in the house hv the aid qf a
chair, and j got so thin I had given up to die .
thinking that ! could not be cured. Then I saw
•lie of my neighbors, who said. Take my ad
vice. and use Isr. Pierce’s Golden Medical' Dis
covers- and make anew man out of yoi-rself.’
The first bottle helped me and after I had taken
eight I was weighed and found I had gained 27
pounds. 1 have done more hard work in the
past eleven months than 1 did in twoyeafs be
fore. and I am healthy to-dav and flu not feel
anything like dying i cannot give Dr. Pierce’*
iolden Medical Discovery too much praise.”
