The Inter-state Commerce Commis

for bringing all proceedings before its sit

Applications made for official action
of the commission shall be made by
petition, which shall set forth the facts
on which they are founded, and be veri

authorized agent.
The Texas legislature lias passed an
act, which awaits the governor’s signature,
to the effect that, on account of the un
predented last j ear’s drouth, throughout
the state, the collection of taxes be
postponed. The champions of the bill
state that if the taxes w’ere collected,
nearly everyone’s lands would have to go
to the block. Those hankering for a le
moval to Texas can put this iu their pipe
and smoke it.

We have been led to believe that Chat
tanooga was really on a “boom,” and that
hundred thousand dollar lot3 grew on
trees in that bailiwick. But when a man
is arrested on the streets of the town os a
suspicious character just because he hap
pened to have $19,000 in loose change in
his pockets, we begin to look upon the
toy/a with suspicion. Men with money
will be careful how they show their wealth
in that town hereafter.
W ith all of our mineral aud agricul
tural reasoun es, shall we remain noth
ing more than a second rate mining
town? It does seem to us that the cit
izens of Cartersville are content with
such a state of affairs. Every chronic
grumbler would rejoice at its growth
aud prosperity if he could derive benefit
from it, out not oue effort will he make
to bring it about. There is one thing
that our people should iearn, aud that is,
that no town or community ever pros
pered aud advanced • without enterprise
aud progress among its citizens.
A scientific writer who believes in
astrology says: Severul years ago as
trologers called atteutiou to these con
junctions aud prophesied great disaster
for the year 1880 to 1887, the period
during which the four great planets
would make their perihelion advance
aud retreat. The prognostications were
ridiculed by the thoughtless, while
wiser natures pondered and waited.
Events have verified tho predictions cf
these scientific seers. Such calamitous
years as the last three nre not known to
history—comets, large and small, sweep
ing the heavens, earthquakes, voleauie
eruptions, cyclones demolishing cities,
inundations devastating provinces,
droughts so severe as to produce famine,
terrific gales, collisions at sea, the burn
ing of vessels, tempests aud shipreck,
that makes commerce a dread. Among
minor evils may be mentioned showers
•of electric ice, meteors, auroral and other
magnetic Btorms that paralyze electric
batteries or overcharge them danger
ously, the fall cf suow in the summer,
the strange and fearful Tuesday of Sep
tember, ’Bl, icebergs iu tbe Atlantic, a
procession 300 miles loug, millions of
dead fish floating iu miffocean and cost
upon the shores of Florida, tidal waves,
one of which extended from China to
California, waterspouts and avalanches,
unaccountable fogß aud uucontrolable
fires causing the death of thousands of
human beings, railroad accidents of as
tonishing destructiveness; these, with
every frightful casuality, form a record
of horrors that must startle even a stolid
observer. This is rather startling,but the
writer winds up with the following
plaasant paragraph: It should encour
age us iu these endeavours to remember
that those learned men whose forecast
enabled to predict coming disaster, as
sert that we may rationally expect that
an era cf unwonted universal prosperity
is to succeed the year 1887, Health,
clear perceptions, increased longevity.
Ixmutiful harvests' tranquil skyes and
seas, peace and marvellous progress are
precicted for those who survive this
period districiion and disaster,
INTERPRETING THE INTER
ETA TE COMMERCE LA IF.
The all absorbing question in the
minds of the American public to-day, is
the ‘interpretation of the Inter-State
Commerce Law. It has been many a
day since tbe word of five men occa
sioned such universal interest.
We expressed, upon the passage of the
bill, creating tbe law, a doubt as to the
practicability of enforcing certain parts of
the law to the letter, especially the long
and short clause. This opinion seems
to be maintained generally, by the press
throughout tbe country. There are fea
tures of the law that are wise, and if car
ried into effect will result in good to the
whole country. if the commissioners
interpret the long aud short clause
strictly, or in accordance with the recent
rulings of the trunk line managers, the
evil will at once be felt and made mam
fast throughout the South. The Eastern
lines, serving a section thickly settled, iu
which the local passenger aud freight traf
fic is ft r more important than with us, and
in which the value of all local business far
exceeds the through or long haul reven
ues. They wish to see ouforeed the pro
hibition of low rates for through busi
ness. They can retain existing local rates
aud advanoe through rates with benefit
to either revenues.
On the contrary if the Southern lines
follow this policy, aud advance through
rates to correspond with existing local
rates, Southern cotton mills will be shut
out of Western markets; the tobacco
grower, the cotton planter, the Southern
iron producer, the farmer who raises
early vegetables for Northern consumers
will find at once their markets restricted
and their customers too expensive to
reach.
An esteemed and able contemporary
suggests, that if the railroads, instead,
reduce local rates, they will find that the
population is not dense enough to yield
revenue sufficient to meet fixed charges,
and the value of their property at once
declines. The reduction of local rates
must proceed just as population increases
and business improves. Low local rates
exist only where these conditions pre
vail. As cities grow and towns iucrease
aud now roads come, at every point of
crossing you have a through aud local
business, anew center of competition
within the range of which local rates de
cline. The points of competition in
crease, the benefits as low local rates ex
tend, this is the natural benefits of the
system, and can scarcely be changed by
legislation.
It will be readily seen that the opera
tions of the law will have a very different
effect upon the interests of the people of
the two sections, —East and South. We
repeat that if tho law is-oarried out to the
letter, it must work disaster to every in
dustrial interest of the South. But. if
the commissioners are permitted broad
discautiou iu construing it, they
can, in their official capacity, do much
towards correcting the unjust discrimin
ations made against certain points in
favor of others.
These oppressive discriminations were
the evils most sought to be corrected and
prohibited bv the bill; but unfortunately
for the people, the drapers of the meas
ure, iu their zeal to cure oue evil, made
others by tbe extremes to which they
went. Now, what is most desired, is,
that the commissioners so construe the
law, aud see that it is executed in a
manner that will do justice to all sec
tions, aud injury to none.
A committee from the Chamber of
Commerce in Atlanta, had the honor to
present the first memorial to the com
missioners. They appeared in the inter
est of the existiug through rates now in
operation in the South, and petitioned a
suspension of the long aud short haul
clause. Should the commissioners de
cide to suspend this section of the law,
it should at the same time prohibit a
discrimination in establishing through
rates. There is no reason why Carters
ville should not have just as good rates
on loug hauls as Atlanta, Rome or Dal
ton; and if the commission does not re
gulate through tariffs so as to put us,
as well as other points of Cartersville’s
size and commercial importance, upon
an equal footing with these places, theu
they will have fai’el to carry out the
spirit and intent of the law.
MORMON TR EA CHER Y.
Eight working (for their religion) Mor
mon elders arrived in Chattanooga last
week, who commenced operations at once
in the section surrounding in working up
converts Apropos of the presence of these
apostles it would not be amiss to give the
experience of James Bevell, of Pavola
county, Miss., who became a convert of
Mormouism, and after selling his farm*
left with his wife and three children for
the land of Mormonism, in Colorado.
Hear his experience: On the 2d of March
the Bevells, with 200 others, started for a
Mormon settlement at Manasa, in the San
Luis yalley, Colorado, They left the
warm spring time and blossoming of
north Mississippi, and found winter and
snow storms in Colorado. Instead of the
promised hospitality they found no pro
vision made for them. The new comers
who had money or could get it left the
place at once. The Bevells prepared to
return home, but were persuaded to go to
Arizona, where they were told that the
clime would suit them. Bad as they had
found Colorado, Arizona was immeasure
ably worse. The extremes of cold and
heat, the sand storms, the want of build
ing material, and, most of all, the charac
ter of the people, made poor Bevell and
his wife sick at heart.
The Mormon Bishop, Layton,a wealthy
man, owned the only grist mill, and his
invariable rule was to take one half of the
grist as toll. The chief consideration that
led the Bevel's to go to Mormondom was
the promise of good schools; but the
schools both in Colorada and Arizona
were found unfit to send children to, be
cause of the influences of evil. Bevell de
termined to start back to Mississippi. He
arrived in Kansas City with $47, and will
be assisted to reach his former home.
“It has been a dear trip for me,” said
Bevell, “but I’ll stop a good deal
of immigration the Mormons hoped to get
from my section. They don’t practice
what they preach, They are the most un
generous people I ever got among.'’
For the working men, I haye got the
best Jeans Pants and heavy working
Shirts I can buy, and they are good and
don’t you forget it. *
J. M. G. Montgomery,
THE RED FLAG OF ANARCHY.
Anarchy is ou the increase through
out the United States, and unless some
restraint is put upon the leaders of the
cause their faction will do much to de
moralize the society and labor of our
country. The creed of anarchy is that
of destruction and tearing down all that
is elevating, appropriating other
people’s property to the use of its owa
subjects. The terrible Ilaymarket riot
in Chicago a year ago caused people of
the whole world to shudder at its
atrocity, but affairs of like or worse
character are likely to happeu at any
time. Iu New York anarchist meetings
are openly held under the nose of the
authorities, where the vilest language
and the most terrible threats prevail.
Hen* Most, ex-convict and apostle
of anarchy had a ‘‘reception”
at Cooper Union, in New York,
aud it was the largest meeting of
the kind ever held iu that city. Most
was called iu to make a speech, in which
he said that he had been asked several
times to go to church but refused “be
cause it smelled of hell,” to use his
own expression. He was proud to be an
atheist, communist, socialist or anarchist.
He commenced his speech iu English
but his audienoe being composed of
foreigners who did not well understand,
he made a change to German. The
applause at once became healthier.
“ ‘These Piukerton scoundrels,’ he
exclaimed, ‘shoot dowu defeuseless
women aud children. Are you dogs,
aud will you allow yourselves to be cut
into mincemeat. On the sth of May
our brethren threw a bomb against
the-e 200 hired muiderers, aud I am
proud of this lesult of my teacLing, and
I have never taught more or less. [Ap
plause.] The flood will soon come aud
it will sweep the capitalist band out of
existence. Those who do not want to
work—the capitalists—must go to the
gallons.’
In refering to the extradition treaty
just entered iuto with Russia, Most
called the czar ‘an abomuible monster,’
and alluded to President Cleveland iu
ratner uucomphmentry terms. His re
mark that the treaty meant the extra
dition of Russia agitators iu chains to
the torture of Sibera raised a perfect
howl of groans aud hisses. He con
cluded :
‘I am certain that you are not all an
archists. ’ [Cries- of ‘Yes!’]
‘Rut lam certain that you will soon
be anarchists. If we have some differ
ences of opiuiou, let us be like infantry,
caveiery or artillery of an array. When
our enemys strike a blow against us, let
us all take it up as one, aud when they
seize oue of our members by the coller
to throw him iuto prison, let us say, ‘we
will not stand it. He must come out.’
I shall raise the red flag. I shall rally
around it as many as I can to fight dowu
the tyrants, and I call upon you to join
me with three cheers for communism.’
The Washington Star says: “The
statement of the government receipts
and expenditures for the mouth of
March shows the total reoeipta from all
sources to be $33,358,105, iu round
numbers #3,000,000 moie than for the
same period last year. The expendi
tures for the past mouth were $21,617,
371, an inorease of $7,635,696 over the
same period last year. This will show
that the accumilation of surplus was iu
rouud numbers $4,000,000 less during
the past month than during the sirne
period a year ago. Those that fear nn
extra session of congress on account of
the piling up of the surplus will derive
some satisfaction from the fact that the
accumulation is Ipss rapid, with a pros
pect that through the larger appropria
tions that go iuto effect after the first of
June, the increase'will be still lower.
Another satisfactory showing is an in
crease of the gold in the treasury of
nearly eleven millions during the month,
and a redaction of the silver fund bal
ance over seven millions. By comparison
of the controller of the currency’s
report, whioh shows a decrease, during
the year, of $20,036,983 iu the outstand.
ing banknotes, with the Treasurer’s
statement of the amount of silver cer
tificates outstanding, shows that there
has been only a slight contraction of the
currency. Against the $29,000,000 iu
banknotes retired, the iucrease of silver
certificates put in circulation during the
year was about forty-one million dollars
of this represents $1 and $2 treasury
notes withdrawn; so that the off-set iu
about tvreuty six million dollars increase
circulation of silver certificates, against
$29,000,000 banknotes retired.”

SIN.
WHOEVER CHASES EVIL, CHASES IT
TO HIS OWN GKAVE-hIS IS
SUICIDE, AND ITS WRECKS
STREW LIFE'S SHORES.
Rev. Saul Jonei Preaches on the Wags*
of Sin iu Cincinnati.
Cincinnati Commercial 4th.
One February night about a year ago
there was a crowd gathered at Music Hall
that blocked the sidewalks and the street
cars, and last night there was almost a
repetition of that crowd and the attendant
scenes.
It wasn’t a riot; ’twasn’t even grand
opera night. Why the crowd, why the
crush, why the noise, why the excite
ment? Simply, Sam Jones was announced
to speak again in Music Hall on Sunday
night. The mere announcement of this
fact produced the crush and the crowd.
It isn't often that Music Hall finds itself
30 crowded, and last night when the doors
opened at 7 o’clock the wide stairway on
the piazza was thronged with people wait
ing the opening of the doors, and at 8
o’clock there wasn’t room enough within
the great hall to set a flag-staff up on end.
Sam Jones preached to as large a crowd
last might at Music Hall as he has ever
talked to within the past year in other
cities. As Cincinnati isn’t a phenomenal
ly religious city this speaks well for Mr.
Jones’ admiration by the masse 3 .
It was 8 o’clock when Mr. Excel, of
Chicago, came to the front of the platform,
which was occupied by the combined
choirs of St. Paul aud Trinity churches,
and sang: “He’ll Never Forsake Thee.”
Mr. Excel's solo was applauded, aud he
was compelled to sing it again and again.
Then Mr. M. J Maxwell, also a revival
singer, came forward and sang: “The
Bright and Shining Star of Salvation.”
The ripple of applause that followed
these solos was intensified into a hurri
cane when Sara Jones was seen entering
the stage, and he bowed again and again
his acknowledgments. Mrs. Jeannie
Smith Ilealy sang “The Palms,” by
Faure, and then the Rev. Mr. Douglas, of
New York, delivered an eloquent prayer.
Dr. I. W. Joyce announced to the crowd
that Mr. Jones would preach this noon at
the Y. M. C. A., this afternoon at 3 at St.
Paul’s, and to night at 7:30 at Music Hall.
Tne same programme will be carried out
Tuesday.
“This is a familiar scene,” said Mr.
Jones as he avalked to the front
of the stage and looked over the
great crowd before him. “Many precious
memories are connected with the scene
before me to-night. I hope that the
prayers of all may go up that this may be
a memorable meeting because of the power
of God that rests upon it.
“My text to-night is taken from the 13th
verse of the 11th chapter of Proverbs, ‘As
righteousness tendeth to life so he that
pursueth evil pursueth it to his own
death.’
“I need no book of instruction or in
spiration," continued Mr. Jones, “to teach
me the rayages and the ruiu of sin upon
the children of men. I might pick up
your daily papers any morning, and the
murders, the suicides, the drunken quar
rels, the record of the police court, all
teach me that this is a fact. I see to the
right and the left of me, as I walk tbe
streets of your city, a living, practical de
monstration of the ravages of sin upon the
children of men. I know that sin is doing
its work day after day upon families, upon
cities, upon tbe whole world.
“I know the record of crime, the record
of suffering, the record of infamy, the re
cord of death, ignoble, shameless, fearful
death bears me out in the assertion that
sin is death. To believe that sin doesn’t
hurt, and sin doesn’t affect injuriously,
that sin doesn’t doom and damn is not
only to fly in the face ot the record God
has given, but is to fly in the face of every
fact presented by sin to us.
“Some people say I overdraw the pic
ture and exaggerate tbe language, but I
may go among the ruined of this city, take
out a half dozen individuals; I may go,
out yonder to that cemetery and disinter
a half dozen poor, wicked, ruined suicides,
and stand them before you to-night, and I
defy all tbe language of earth and hell to
exaggerate or overdraw the terrible pic
ture there presented of the ravages of sin.
The picture is a hideous one, and men
like you and I, who have seen such things,
know it is true of life, with all its terrible
coloring and detail. They are living ex
amples of what sin will do for a man.
“Look at your work house! It is overerwd
ed, the effects of sin; and, my friends,
when Cincinnati puts everybody in that
workhouse that ought to go there you’ll
see a great many familiar faces missing on
your streets, and some of them in higli
places, tqo, ‘Be sure your sins will find
you out.’ The biggest criminals in this
town hever see the inside of your work
house or your jail, but ‘Be sure your sins
will find you out.’ Your sins are doing
their deadly work on you as an indivld
ual, as a community, ana sooner or later
this terrible disease will prey on the vitals
of your immortality and doom and damn
you forever and ever.
“As I’ve said many and many a time, ‘I
know it is best to do right ’ The best
thing a man ever did was to do right, and
the worst thing a man ever did was to do
wrong. There’s a very practical way in
which sin is doing its deadly work on
individuals. Righteounegs tendeth to
honor, to respectability to permanent
character for good; it tendeth to life here
and life eternal hereafter; but just as it is
true that righteousness tendeth to life, so
it is true that he who pursueth evil
pursueth it to his own death.
“Man is a multiform being. Man is
made up in sections, morally. I have a
conscience, and every sin of my life is a
stab at that conscience, and I’m io dy to
say right now that a man can afford to do
anything better than afford to sin against
his conscience. The great trouble in
America to-day is that the National, the
State, the municipal conscience is desd—
it has been stabbed to death. Right no>y,
here in this city, on the very eve of elect
ing men to your municipal offices, you
cry, ‘Reform,reform, reform,’ but this city
never can be reformed until God can dig
her conscience up out of the grave and
tear the grave clothes from it, and let con
science awake, a living thing in tbe bosom
of the men that walk the streets of this
city,
f‘l want to see a pity governed by con
science, where public conscience is a
living, a palpable thing, and not where
men aie deterred from doing wrong because
it’s against the law, but because their con
science tells them that it is wrong, and
will keep them awake at night if they do
such things. The greatest check God has
on humanity is His grip on a man's con
science, and when a man’s conscience is
dead the fear of hell Is the hangman's
whip, but where you feel your conscience
grip let that hour be the last.
“The difficulty in this and all other
lands is that men have sinned so long, have
violated tl# Sabbath, have profaned the
name of God, have cheated in their busi
ness, have lied in their promises, day af
ter day until conscience is stabbed to
death: and men don’t stop to ask, ‘ls this
right or wrong,’ hut ‘Row many dollars
or how many votes can I make out of
this? Walking through your streets to
night, eouiing to Music Hall, I passed fla
red mouthed saloons gaping wide open on
your streets on the Sabbath night, each
infested with its crew of profaning, blas
pheming men. I wish to God you had a
I)]ayor somewhere that would enforce the
jaw* oj? flll up your work-house every
Monday morning with saloon-keepers.
Applause.
“Now they’ll say ‘Jones has gone into
politics.’ No I’m not, I’m going in for
God and the ten commandments and the
sermon on the Mount—and you’d better
go in for that too. Mayor Hewitt, in New
York, said the other day, Th enforce the
law r against these dives, or I’ll discharge'
every policeman on the force, and I'll ap
point new ones, and if they wifi not or
can not enforce the law gentlemen, my!
resignation is in your hands.’
'‘My friends, you have got the red flag
run up all along your streets in this
town. There’s danger, too, along this
line. You’ve had a thousand red flogs
though on your streets, but when your
court house was set on fire you had a
great big red flag that had called for a halt
immediately, and you got it. When you
have laws that you won't enforce you're
bound to have 'anarchy, aud when you
have laws that you can not enforce then
yiu'vegot Communism turned loose in
your streets.
“There is no better proof of a dead
conscience than that a man persis
tently does wrong, and seems to get along
all r ght and well with himself and neigh
bor! ‘lie that pursueth evil pursueth it
to his own death.’ Yes, and to the death
of his sensibilities. There are men in
this city who have sinned past, all feel
ing it sensibility about them. When you
have re tched this point you are near that
death that knoweth no life forever.
“Be who pursueth evil pursueth it to
his own death. Yes, and to the death of
all powers of resistance. Life is like a
nver that cuts its own channel, and after
awhile flows with resistless current into
the ocean. Men by force of habit map
out their own course in life, and travel
a ong that as the time goes with increas
ing momentum until at last they can not
stop, and they are swept out on the re
sist ess current of their own life into an
ocean of despair and damnation.
“Men swear and swear all their lives,
until iu the end they are nothing but the
condensed quintessnece of profanity, and
men lie and lie until they couldn’t tell
the truth at three trials to save their life.
There are women right now in this hall
who follow like a butterfly the world of
fashion and the way of the world and
the life of the world until we had just as
lieve preach to a dead horse as to preach
the Gospel of the Son of God to you.
You’ll die iu the ball room some day, or
iu the millinery shop having anew hat
fixed up!
“Lots of old moneyed men right here
now that will stick to the dollar and fol
low tbe dollar until the passion for dol
lars and stocks consumes their whole
nature, and they’ll die at last with their
safe key clutched in their hands. Every
roll of the wheel whirls you nearer the
inevitable gulf, and in addition to that
gives you increased momentum, until
every sir, of a man’s life gives him ad
ditional impetus, taking off the airbrakes
of his moral nature, and he cannot stop
until he plunges off at last into the awful
gulf.”
A terrible picture ol the evils and. in
evitable end of all men who drink was
drawn by Mr. Jones, who pictured in
glowing words to the audience the death
bed scenes of a drunkard he knew well in
the old days down in Georgia, Bob Her
rick by name, a confirmed drunkard, who
drank on and ou, until the terrible ap
petite consumed him, and he went dowu
to ruin and a drunkard’s grave.
He appealed to his he irers to cease
drinking immediately, as none of them
knew whether, in the lottery of life and
death , they would not draw the prize of
the grim reaper before the sun of another
Simday had set over Cincinnatti. The
time to cease drinking and swearing and
gambling was now, now, now. To de
ter it might prove fata!, for no one knew
when the summons lrom the mysterious
shore would call him over to answer for
the sins of his life below.
“He that pursueth evil pursueth it to his
own death.” Yes, and to death of his
reason. Whoever pursues sin pursues it
to the death of his reason. Sin does its
work gradually on m ;n. First conscience
dies, then sensibility is stabbed to death,
then a 1 the air-brakes of his moral nature
are loosened and will not work, and then
he rushes on with nothing but his reason
left. Men have been known to sin, Mr.
Jones said, until their very reason refused
to grasp Spiritual truth3, aud they have
thought the wrong was right and the right
was wrong. Sin not only perverts a
man’s moral, but it twists his physical
nature.
There are thousands of people who think
the Gospel itself is a mere sounding brass
and tinkling symbal. They have done the
wrong until the Gospel is absolutely a
stumbling block to their course in life.
God pity a man, exclaimed Mr. Jones,
whose conscience is dead, whose sensibil
ities are gone, whose powers of resistance
have departed, and whose very mind re
fuses to take hold upon the truth that will
save him from death and hell.
There live men, siid Mr. Jones, who, if
God was to take the curtain from off the
future, and show them how near death
and hell tfiey were, would rush up under
the cross, without a moment's delay. A
man was to be pitied whose mind didn't
work right on the truth. Whoever pur
sueth evil pursueth it to the death of his
soul. The contemplation of such a fact
staggered his being—death of the soul!
The two most fearful words in the English
language were “death, eternal. Eternal
death.”
The temporary death that goes before
the grave was eloquently told, and con
trasted with it iu fervent language Mr.
Jones drew a viyid and affecting picture
of the deuih that knows no ending, the
death that is a continual, eternal death,
closing with an eloquent appeal to his
hearers to renounce the paths of evil, and
come under the banner of Christ, beneath
which was life eternal, life everlasting.
LYNCHING IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Five Negro Murderers Swing to a Single
Limb,
Columbia, S. C., April 5.—A special
from Yorkville, S. C., to the Register
says: This morning about 4 o’clock a
body of armed men, some sixty or
seventy-five in number, visited the jail
at this place and demanded the keys of
>-heriff Glenn, who declined to deliver
them, wherepon tho doors were battered
iu by the mob. Several of the company
theu forced their way iuto the inner
cells, where six prisoners who were
recently brought from Celumbia,
charged with the murder of young Good,
were confined. Having selected five
gut of six the mob carried them out a
mile from the courthouse, where they
hung them to trees with plow lines.
Their names were Giles Good, Printy
Thomas, B liley Doweville, Dan Roberts
aud Mose Lipscomb. The lynchers
were not disguised.

The lynching was very quietly executed,
and showed thorough organization ou

Lee Goods, the murdered boy, was
twelve years old , a sou of Win. Good,
a prominent farmer of York county.
Ou the 30th of last November he detected
several negroes stealing cotton from his
father’s field. They set upon him nml

Dan Roberts, Bailey Dowdle and Priuty
Thomson were suspected and were ar

they did tlie killing and implicated the
others. Subsequent investigation
showed that these negroes belonged to a

secret oaths for the purpose of robbery
and to kill any m e who detected them iu
the act of stealing.

WARD’S WOES.
Maxey’s, Ua , January, 1886.
For twelve or fourteen years I have
been a great sufferer from a terrible form
of blood poison which ran into the sec
ondary and finally it was pronounced ter
tiary form. My head, face and shoul
ders became almost a mass of corruption
and finally the disease commenced eating
my skull bones. I became so horribly
repulsive that, for three years I absolutely
refused to let people see me I used large
quantities of most noted blood medicines
and applied to nearly all physicians near
me, but niy condition continued to grow
worse, and all said that 1 must surely die.
My bones became the seat of excruciating
aches and pains ; my nights were passed
in misery; I wa3 reduced in flesh and
strength; my kidneys were terribly de
ranged, and life became a burden to me
1 chanced to see an advertisement of
B. B B and sent one dollar to W. C.
Birclimore & Cos , merchants of our place,
and they procured one bottle for me, It
was used with decided benefit and when
eight or ten bottles had been used I was
pronounced sound and well
Hundreds of scars can be seen on
me, looking like a man who had been
burned and then restored. My case was
well known in this country, and for the
benefit of others who may be similarly
affected, I think it my duty to give the
facts to the public,and to extend my heart
felt thanks for so valuab e a remedy. I
have been well over twelve months, and
no return of the disease has occurred.
