STEAMER CITY OF MACON SINKS.
No Lives Lost but the Cnt-go Almost
Totally Destroyed.
On last Sunday evening ns the
steamer City of Macon, which plies
the waters of the Ocmulgee. was re
turning from a trip up the river and
as the boat rounded a bend in the
river near Half .Moon it ran into a
stump and stove a large hole in her
bow, from which she sank in a few
minutes. We are informed that it
was well loaded with spirits and
rosin and had on a lot of groceries
such as sugar and flour. The cargo
is almost a total loss. Mr. T H
Calhoun, Asst. Trade Mgr. of the

longs, left Moday for Savannah
where lie will secure the services of
a diver to patch the hole in the
bow when it will be raised. Several

INVESTIGATE IT!
A Sick Negro HAs Steam Turned on
Htm and Dies.
The Chronicle has heard it rumor
ed that a negro workman at Pitts
hist week mot Ills death irtider oil -
eiimstanees that demand »n investi
gation. The rumors should be fol
lowed up and a eateful rmpiify made,
and if such brtttahty was shown all
the strength of the law shonld lie
used to bring the guilty person or
persons to justice.
It is reported that a sick negro
was placed in a room adjoining the
boiler and locked in. After being
there a few minutes steam was turn
ed on and ibe room was filled with
steam. The negro begged the
watchman to let him out saying that
tie could not stand it. that the steam
would kill him. After keeping him
there awhile the watchman unlocked
the door and the negro staggered out
and fell a short distance from the
door. Two negroes were called to
move him and they carried him oil a
few yards and laid him down and in
a short time he died.
If the above is a correct slate
ment, then there should be an iiivcs
ligation.
Billiousness is a condition charac
terized by a disturbance of the diges
tive organs. The stomach is de
bilitated, the liver torpid, the bow
els constipated. 'There is a loathing
of food, pains in the bowels, dizzi
ness, coated tongue and vomiting,
first of the undigested or partly di
gested food and then of bile. Chuui
berlain s Stomach and Liver Tablets
allay the disturbances of the stoin
ach and create a healthy appetite.
They also tone up the liver to a
healthy action and regulate the bow
els, Try them and you are certain
to be much pleased with the result.
