V- WINE OF CARDUI *V
has brought permanent relief to a mil- gu
lion suffering women who were on their 8£
way to premature graves. Mrs. Mitchell
was fast declining in health, when Wine
of Cardui performed a “wonderful cure’’
in her case. She suffered with the ago
nies of falling of the womb, leucorrhcea
and profuse menstruation. The weekly
appearance of the men sesfortwo months
sapped her vitality until she was a phys
ical wreck. Her nervous svstem gave
way. Then came the trial ‘of Wine of
Cardui and the cure. Mrs. Mitchell’s
experience ought to commend Wine of
Cardui to suffering women ia words of
burning eloquence.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in ilamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
norma condition, hearing will be des
troyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall’s
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

They Went Back on Him.
Some of the boys who were cer
tain of election last Wednesday
have had the experience of a can
didate that we once heard of in the j
past. He had his tickets printed, |
got some whiskey in his buggy and
drove over the county, and on his
rounds he had the sworn promises
of 650 voters for tbeir support.
Well, he knew if he could get 600
votes he was safe-was elected sure.
So, perfectly satisfied, he went
back home and went to picking j
cotton, laughing in his sleeves how
he had beat the other fellow, and
waited until election day. After
the election the votes were counted
and he had received exactly 50.
Disappointed and mad lie started
back home and meeting a friend in
the road who was anxious to hear
the news, and asked how h.e come
out, answered in pretty strong
language: “I got 50 votes and
600 sworn to lies!”
So, dear friend, if you were
beaten, remember there were others

Lawlessness in Coffee Connty.
Asa local county paper the
Breeze does not feel disposed to
hold up to the world the fact that
Coffee county is getting up a bad
name in the way of lawlessness,
but reporters for big State papers,
and even National papers, the New
York World and others too mumer
011s to mention, are sending out the
news that is fast accumulating evi
dence enough to convict us before
the eyes of the world as a very had
people.
A few days ago the larger papers
of the country were telling the
nation of an attempt at assissination
and robbery at Nichols, when Mr.
Cady was fired upon at night, the
supposition being for murder and
robbery, and now this week comes
tha killing of Hiram Sears, Jr.,
near Pearson, in this county, and
at the rate these outrages are being
enacted in the county people hunt
ing homes will not want to come
here. This, of course, will suit the
lawless element, who would rather
not have emigration, hut it is not
what the best or good people of the
county want.
The Breeze does not know who
these people are, nor do the citizens
of the county, but this, as in other
lawlessness, the masses are con
demned for the acts of a few. In
regard to the killing of Ml Sears,
near Pearson, a correspondent
writes as follows : Hiram Sears, Jr.,
a prominent citizen f Coffee coun
ty, was killed yesterday about 1
o’clock by unknown parties. The
killing occurred near Sweetwater
church, three miles north of Pear
son. According to most reliable
information a peddler named Mc-
Foy spent last Wednesday nignt
with Hiram Sears, Jr., and yester
day morning a coop of McFoy’s
chickens were missing. He located
them at a shanty on George W.
Ricketson’s place, which was un
occupied. Accompanied by Hiram
Sears, Jr., he went after the fowls
and when near the shanty they
were fired upon either from the
house or an old stable near by. The
first shot struck Sears, breaking his
left shoulder blade and ranging in
the direction of the heart, killed
him instantly. Peddler McFoy’s
clothing was badly cut by the
whistling balls but he escaped
injury. Relating the story to a
near by resident, McFoy hurried to
Pearson.
Monroe Ricketson and others
about half a mile away heard the
shooting and went down to find the
lifeless Mr. Sears. M. A. Pafford,
notary public, empaneled a jury of
inquest and began an investigation,
which is still going on. Suspicion
points to some young men whose
names cannot be learned tonight.
It is supposed they stole McFoy’s
chickens and rather than be de
tected fired upon their pursuers who
were crowdingthem. Some arrests
are expected tomorrow. Mr. Sears
belongs to one of Coffee county’s
best families and stood hiph in the
community. He was about 40
years old.

forced to retreat, explain or apolo

how is it with McKinley’s official
utterances? Why everybody knows
that the president has often vio
lated pledges, promises and official
statements. Bryan is a great lead
er and a peerless statesman —Mc-
Kinley is a corporation tool, a
vacillating servant of those who
scheme and work to deceive and

LACONICS FROM LAX. A
Closin? of a School Breaks uo in a Row
and Campaign Whiskey the Cause
of a Fatal Tragedy. A /
1 Lax, Ga., Oct. 3. —We have sad
j news to tell you this week.- One
Mr. Riley Luke a young man, son
of Mr. Ben Luke who lives within
about two miles of Lax, died Sat
urday a. m. about 8 o’clock, from
the effects of a stab he received
here on Fridav night while engag
ed in a general cutting affray that
took place here that night. He
was stabbed in the back, just below
his left shoulder-blade and seemed
to have died of loss of blood, as it
was several hours after he was cut
before the doctor reached him.
The public term of Lax school
closed here Friday with a picnic
dinner, that was plenteous, and
fitten for any king to have partaken
of. A large crowd of people were
gathered by noon and every one
seemed to be having a most enjoy
able time. The Brushy Creek
brass hand was clever enough to
come down and make some splen
did music for us. Just before din
ner the hand played a march and
led a procession of the school chil
dren in a beautiful march about
the grounds, that was very impress
ive -After dinner the crowd as
sembled in the church and witness
ed an interesting and amusing pro
gramme of speeches, dialogues, etc.,
beautifully and effectively rendered
by the school children. The brass
band gave us some very rich music
along between the acts that added
greatly to the entertainment of the
listeners.
The Brusy Creek brass band is
somewhat of a Comedy Cos., too,
so, after they came down to the
school closing and had rendered us
all the assistance they could in the
way of furnishing music, they de
cided to give us another treat still,
and announced in the p. m . at the
closing of the school exercises that
they would give us a free enter
tainment that night at the church
beginning at 7.45 o’clock. We
appreciated that very much, of
course, and before the appointed
hour a large crowd had gathered at
the church and everything was
just moving off nicely, when very
suddenly and unexpectedly t 6 al
most everyone, nearly half a dozen
men seemed * 1 be tumbling togeth
er in a general fight, almost in the
midst of the crowd. ’Tis needless
to say the crowd scattered in dis
order. After the dust settled a bit:
and everything quieted down a
little, Mr. John Graham, a mar
ried man having a wife and three
children, was found to he seriously
cut in the right ride just about his
short ribs, and also this young Mr.
Luke who died Saturdag morning
was found to be severely cut, hut
it was not thought to be fatal at
first. Young Luke wass greatly
under the influence of whiskey
and could not be kept quiet until
he had lost so much blood, the
doctor was unable to save him. lie
raged furiously for some time after
he was cut and it seemed impossi
ble to quiet him, which of course,
caused the blood to flow much more
freely from the wound. Mr. Gra
ham was quite sober and was
thought, to be in a quiet humor at
or about the time th£ row was
started. He is supposed to he the
man that cut Luke. Luke’s friends
had Graham put under arrest yes
terday and are having him guard
ed, notwithstanding the fact that
he is unable to help himself at all,
on account of the wound lie receiv
ed in the fray. Graham is to be
given a trial today at 10 o’clock,
at his home two miles above here,
as he is unable to get out of bed.
Ye scribe heard him remark yes
terday, that he felt no remorse of
conscience whatever over killing
Luke, as he was cold sober and
quiet, not troubling any one, when
those parties rushed upon him for
a fight, and he felt that lie must de
fend himself some way. It is al
together a most deplorable affair,
the two men, Luke, and Graham
were good friends up to the min
ute the fight began so far as any
one knew. We feel sure it is all
due to the fact that several gallons
of election whiskey had been
brought into this community that
day. llow strange that the good
men of our county don’t put an
end to such an awful and destruct
ive practice, as using whiskey to
try to influence voters.

That when you see a young man

boast of the conquests he has had,
and the hearts he has caused to
ache you ' can put him down as
“no gentleman” or falsyfier, and
and you wont miss being correct

you wont!
That people who boast of living
on what they owe others have poor
showing in the other world. The
hook says “owe no man anything.”
This, of course means, “and not pav
it.” There are of them !
That some of the candidates hit
the ceiling, as she expected, and
she sympathises with them from
Similar experience. She was never
beaten in an election, but has been
crossed in love and she reckons it’s
about the same. It must be!
That she saw in a paper an ad

knowing.” She sent the 10c and the
answer came hack. “Catch ’em
and cut their tails off right behind

That nearly every young mar
ried woman you hear talk declares
she “bosses her husband,” and if
this is so the men of to-day are a
sorry lot, but she swallows the
declaration with a grain of salt.
That it makes her smile when
she reads in the paper that “Mr.

is that the acceptation comes after
a month of begging. The word

Raised the Price of Cotton.
The advisory board of the Sea
Island Cotton Growers Protective
Association held n meeting Wednes
day evening for the purpose of con
sidering the position of the cotton
market. After a free discussion of
the subject, the hoard decided to
advise farmers to hold their cotton
for 21 cents a pound, as it had
every reason of in the world to be
lieve that it wxmld bring that much
in a very short while. Chairman
B. Ik Jones, of the hoard, was ap
proached by a Times reporter and
asked if he really thought that cot
ton would go higher.
“I believe that it will go to 25c.
a pound.” was his reply. “That is
my candid judgement as a business
man.”—Valdosta Times,
He Wanted the News.
An editor, short of an item, thus
laments the situation: “News!
news! news! It’s enough to give
a man the blues. Nobody married
and nobody dead; nobody broke
an arm or head; nobody come in to
talk of the crop; no one got boozy
and started a scrap; no one got run
in for taking a horn ; nobody buried
and nobody horn. O ! for a racket,
a riot, a fuss ! Some one to come
in and kick up a muss; someone to
stir up the peace laden air; some
body’s comment to give us.a scare;
somebody thumped within an inch
of his life ; somebody run off with
another man’s wife ; some one come
in and pay up his dues! Anything,
anything, just so it’s news. ”
