It is made In seetious so as to facilitate the ad justment of the weight to meet any Pjl iPi 11 i| i- fjiw J J Uu in M N SASHWEIOIIT IN SECTIONS. emergency. The two parts of which the weight Is formed each consist of a body section with an open portion and a branch, the branches tittiug In the open portions of the bodies. Each pnrt has also beveled flanking branches which interlock to sustain one part on the other. The parts have grooves which match to form a pass age for the reception of the sash-cord. It is evident that the number of weights can be increased or decreased at will to regulate the stress on the cord. When the proper number have been applied the weights are held se curely by a pin driven through the cord or a split washer clamping the cord and engaging the uppermost weight Tlie Fruit Cnre. Twice It has been my privilege to take “the grape cure” in Switzerland. For ten days the schools are discon tinued that teachers and scholars, with fathers and mothers, may repair to the vineyards and eat grapes all day long. For ten days the druggists mourn because customers are not, and for as many months nature’s patients feel the good effects of the cure wrought in a pharmacy which is not of man’s furnishing. For forty years I have taken the “fruit cure” all the year round, and have to offer in advertisement thereof a perfect digestion, steady nerves and sucli general vigor as is vouch safed to few women of tny age.— Marion Ilurland, in Philadelphia North American. A Taciliirii General. Moltka’s reticence was so proverbial, says the Argonaut, that, as the King’s birthdays approached,there used to be bets among the officers as to how many words Moltke would use in pro posing the toast of the day. Somo backed a nine-word speech, others put their money on eight words. Moll lie’s habit was to say: “To the health of His Majesty, Emperor and King,” or “To Ills Imperial Majesty’s health.” In 1884 an oyster breakfast was staked on the Marshal’s not using more than nine words. But, because lie began with the word “gentlemen,” the bet was lost. Tho loser comforted him self by saying: ’’lie’s aging, is Moltke; lie’s getting loquacious.” High WniPi in Knclaml. Often the wage worker has an in come far exceeding that of the profes sional man. Smiles says that in his day rail rollers had pay equal to lieutenant-colonels in the foot guards; plate rollers equal to majors; roughens equal to those of lieutenants and ad jutants. Iu our own country the wage worker’s income often averages more than that of the clergyman. "IVaslfl Not, Want Not.” Over the kitchen fireplace at Ab botsford, Sir Walter Scott’s lovely home, are carved in stone “Waste not, want not.” There is nothing nobler in the life story of Scott than liis struggle to pay liis creditors' debts in curred through flic misfortune and mismanagement of liis publishers.

In the National Cemetery at Arlington, Va. A Washington special says: The first step toward the fulfillment of the plan proposed by President McKinley in his Atlanta, Ga., speech, for gov ernment care of the graves of the con federate dead will be taken in the re interment of confederate dead from tho several present resting places near Washington to anew tract in the na tional cemetery at Arlington. Tho arrangements for the ceremo nies attending this re-interment are nearing completion. The committees having it in charge were appointed by the chief confederate veteran camps, and nnder their direction a site has been selected in Arlington, where the bodies will be placed side by side, comrades in death as they had been in life. The site selected by the committee is one of the prettiest in Arlington. The final details of the arrangements are now ready for the approval of the secretary of war, and after that is given the program will be announced. It is the idea of those who have had the matter in hand to make the rein terment an occasion of deep signifi cance. A memorial service will be arranged, and it is very probable that the Union veterans will join with the old Confederates in the march to Ar lington and in the services at the graves. It is believed that a large number of Confederate veteraus, es pecially from Virginia and nearby points, will be in attendance. A list showing the names and all in formation obtainable about the bodies has been prepared, and if the relatives of any of the dead desire to claim the bodies for private burial, the informa tion concerning the necessary permit will be furnished by the local Confed erate Veteraus’ camps. The bodies now at Arlington and which are to be transferred to the new plot are nearly all those of prisoners who died in captivity in the old capi tol building, which was used for a fed eral prison. The list of those now buried at the Soldier’s Home National cemetery are largely those killed in Early’s raid. One of the skirmishes of Early occurred very near the site of this cemetery and the dead of both sides were laid to rest there. DUMMY OF MISS JEWETT Is Swung to the Breezis at Richmond and Appropriately Placarded. Miss Lillian Clayton Jewett’s sud den departure from Richmond, Va., Friday saved her the humiliation of seeing herself hanged iu effigy. Early Saturday a bogus representation of the Boston anti-slavery agitator was found dangling from a tree in Monroe pork near the tracks of the railroad lending to the north. This was the inscription on the body: “Lillian Clayton Jewett, South Hater and Negro’s Worst Enemy” —A false witness shall not be unpunished and he that speaketh lies shall per ish.”—Proverbs xix, 9. The only colors on the object were black and white, supposed to be indi cative of the races. A black shirtwaist had been stuffed with excelsior and the head was a piece of white cloth filled with the same material. The feet, encased in black stockings, pro truded some distance from a white un derskirt that completed the by no means complimentary apparel. A long rope tied about the neck was swung over the limb of the tree and was held in position by a chunk of wood. BID KRUGER GODSPEED. Transvaal President Is Being Assisted By Friends In Ills Flight. The Portuguese government has tel egraphed to the governor of Mozam bique, authorizing the departure of Mr. Kruger for Europe. The governor, however, must satisfy himself that Mr. Kruger is really going to Europe. Meanwhile he is instructed to take all precautions to safeguard tho personal security of Mr. Kruger. The government of the Netherlands telegraphed to Loureuzo Marques of fering a Dutch warship to transport Mr. Kruger to Holland. Appeal to G. A. R. For Relief. A strong and urgent appeal for aid for the Texas storm sufferers has been issued by the Grand Army of the Re public and NVoinau’s Relief Corps, de partment of Texas. ROOSEVELI ISSUE* LETTER Accepting Nomination of Republican Convention as Vice President. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt has trans mitted to Hon. Edward O. Walcott, chairman of committee on notification, his letter of acceptance of the nomina tion! as vice-president of tho United States. Tl(ie document is devoted mainly to a defence of his party’s policy of im perialism, especially as regards ex pansion. He defends the trusts and the and says the fight against them is wrong. Speaking of expaiusion, Mr. Roosevelt reviews the different acquisitions and declares them the same as the Philippine purchase. QUIET IN CUBA.

Truitt’s Cotton Estimate. Mr. George W. Truitt, of Troup county, who antagonized the mill esti mate last year by one which only miss ed the truth by a few thousand bales, is again in the field. “I figure out,” said he, “that the crop now coming into market will not be over 9,250,000 bales. This is the maximum. There are conditions ahead; of us which may pull even this esti mate down. ‘ For 1901-2 we will again have a short crop. The exodus of negro labor to engage in other callings, the indif ference which always seizes upon them when there is plenty in the land, will keep the crop down. The desire of land owners to increase their acreage will be more than offset l;y the failure of the negroes to work. * * * Augusta Mills Shut. Down. The King and Sibley Mills, Augus ta’s two largest cotton factories, have been temporarily shut down. They will devote two weeks to making some repairs and hope that in this time the price of cotton goods may have changed so as to have enabled them to run again without serious loss. * * * Fine Stock Exhibit Promised. One feature of the Southern Inter state fair, to be held in Atlanta, that has received little attention during the past few weeks and one that bids fair to excel in interest and comprehen siveness similar features at former fairs will be the stock exhibit. Already applications have been received from prominent breeders and stock raisers all over the country for every inch of stall room on the grounds. If neces sary more stalls will be built to accom modate stockmen who wish to exhibit their cattle. Georgia’s “Noblo Example.” A letter just received from Mr. L. T. Chamberlin, chairman of the execu tive committee of one hundred in New York, says: “The noble example of Georgia is becoming an inspiration to onr work in other parts of the country. We are now seeking to organize more than one northern state essentially on the same plan.” A further extract says: “The pros pect of the coming harvest is far from satisfactory. The wasted, emaciated peasant farmers, their oxen being dead, have not been able to properly prepare their lands. In many in stances they have not been able to procure the proper seed in proper quantities. This condition necessitates crops far below the average. And now it appears that drought may return. There can be no doubt that the situa tion after next November will be in tensely distressful.” * * * Faction* Must Agree. Chairman F. G. dußignon, of the Democratic state executive committee, says that Chatham county comes with in the recent provisions of the state committee with regard to organization. Chatham has been unable to get anew executive committee so far, owing to the disagreement between the local factions, which has been quite bitter. Mr. dußignon informs the polticians of both factions that they must come to some agreement within the next few days, and if they fail to do so, he will order an election held for tho purpose of selecting an executive committee. So far tho local factious have been un able to come anywhere near an agree ment. ♦ * * American May Build Plant. Unless the Virginia-Carolina Chem ical company decides to operate its fertilizer plant in Americus a local company stands ready to build one. The splendid plant which was built and operated by a home company was sold to the great guano trust. A year ago one of the buildings was burned and since that time the plant has been closed dowu and much of the machine ry removed to Macon. * * * To Cure For Troup’* Grave. Some days ago the Youug Men’s Business League of Dublin inaugurat ed a movement to exhume the remains of Governor George M. Troup, which are buried just over the line of Laurens iu Montgomery county, and reinter them in Dublin. To do this the consent of his near est relatives was necessary and all but one has given assent to the proposi tion. It is the intention of the busi ness league to invite all of the Georgia congressmen, senators, statehouse of ficials and other prominent citizens to be present at the reinterment. The grave of Governor Troup has been long neglected and the Young Men’s Business League of Dublin in tends that hereafter it shall be proper ly looked after. * * * Tax Figures Geinjr Given. Captain “Tip” Harrison, of the tax department, in the office of the comp troller general, has so far received re turns from 76 counties of the state con taining the county rate of taxation for the year. He sent out the notices several weeks ago. The counties make a re port of the county tax rate every year. In the report it is also stated the num ber of cities iu the counties and the city rate of taxation. The highest rate reported by any county so far is that of Mclntosh, the rate being sll-50 on the SI,OOO. Bald win follows with a rate of Sll on the SI,OOO. The highest city rate comes from Fitzgerald, it being $15.50 on the SI,OOO. Savannah follows with a rate of $14.50, and Macon comes next with 812.50. • • * Hon. Jolin P. Shannon Dead. Hon. John P. Shannon died at El berton Sunday morning of Bright’s disease. He had been ill for some months, but bis death was not expect ed so soon. He retired Saturday night feeling about as well as usual, but died rather suddenly at 2 o’clock Sunday morning. Colonel Shannon was born in Elber ton in 1851 and has been one of El berton’s most prominent and beloved citizens. He was at one time a presi dential elector of the eighth district, when Cleveland was a candidate for the first time. This was his only po litical office. Three years ago he was elected supreme dictator of the Knights of Honor of the United States, and just recently was re-elected 4 to that position. * * * School lioii<l Bids Opened. The finance committee of the Mon roe city council met and opened the bids for the purchase of the issue of SIB,OOO school bonds. Inquiries had been made by bond people over the country and much interest was manifested in the sale. There were twelve bids handed in to the commit tee, and of these the bid of Mr. Roby Robinson, of Atlanta, was found to be the highest, offering a very handsome premium on the 6 per cent bonds. * * * Columbia Farmers to Meet. The Cotton Growers’ Protective As sociation of Columbia county will meet and organize at Appling on Sep tember 25th. Four-fifths of the farm ers of the county are expected to at tend. There will also be a delegation from the Augusta exchange and board of trade. Also a delegation from Thom son. Columbia county is one of the larg est cotton growing counties in the state. ... Traylor To Speak In Americas. Hon. John H. Traylor, Populist nominee for governor, will speak in Americus on the 27th inst. NEGRO BAPTISTS PROSPERING. Interesting Report of Education Board at the Richmond Conference. One of the features of the national Negro Baptist convention at Rich mond, Va*, Saturday, was the report of the education board as to the schools and colleges owned and con ducted by the colored Baptists in the south. This shows that the Negro Baptists own $337,500 worth of school property, of which $55,000 is in Texas, $50,000 in Virginia, $23,000 in Ten nessee, $5,000 in North Carolina, $44,000 in Arkansas, $38,000 in Ken tucky, $43,000 in Mississippi, $42,000 in Alabama, $21,000 in Georgia and $15,000 in Missouri. The sum of $103,413.25 was raised during the year for educational work. Secretary Boyd reported that the the National Baptist Publishing board was printing all the literature used in the colored Baptist Young Peoples’ Union. The convention, which closed Monday, will meet with the Zion Bap tist church in Cincinnati next year. LIVELY SUNDAY SHOOTING. Col. Usher Thomason and Otto Fowler Fight In Streets of Covington. Colonel Usher Thomason, of Madi son, Ga., shot and probably fatally wounded Otto Fowler at Covington Sunday afternoon about 2 o’clock in front of Mr. Fowler’s residence. The ball passed through the left lung, causing a dangerous wound. Mr. Fowler was prevented from killing Thomason with a double-barreled shotgun by his brother, Mr. Robert Fowler, who shoved the gun down and prevented his tiring. The trouble is of old standing. But little is known of the cause of the shooting. It is reported that Colonel Thomason had been forbidden to enter the residence of the Fowlers, and disregarding the warning, was trying to force his way; that he and Otto had warm words and the two men grappled. It is said that Fowler had Thomason down when the shot was tired. MOB LYNCHES THREE. Jail at Tunica, fliss., Broken Open and Prisoners Disposed Of. A masked mob of between GO and 100 men broke into the jail at Tunica, Miss., Friday and took out three ne groes whom they strung up to a tree near the jail. The dead negroes are Frank Brown, who shot Frank Cheshire, a prosper ous planter at Oak lauding, six months ago; David Moore, who shat Dan Boswell ten days ago and William Brown, who with confederates shot and cut to death a young white man at State Levee, one month previous. COAL CREEK MINERS Settle Differences With Opsrators and All Will Resume Work. The coal mines of Jellieo, Coal Creek, Middlesboro and other points in Teunesse involved in the recent shitt-down pending the wage agree ment have resumed work or will do so this week. Every company as far as can be learned is satisfied with the wage adjustment. As a result of the advance of cent in wages there is talk of something of the same ad vance in coal prices. Kruger Will Go to Holland. The newspapers at Lisbon soy that Mr. Kruger will take the German steamer Herzog at Loureuzo Marques, bis destination being Holland, by way of Marseilles. A
