WRECK ON THE CARROLLTON
Two People Hurt and Much Damage
Done
Tiain No. 98, due here from Carroll
ton at 9 :10 a m , happened to an ac
cident this morning which came near
resulting in something very er-rioua.
Ihe train had just passed white
water creek, about eighteen miles
above here, when the trucks of one of
the rear freight cars suddenly collapsed
and a general wrack cd the following
cars was the result.
Thia is an accommodation train
and only carries one passenger coach,
but today it was bringing Superinten
dent B. C. Epperson’s piivate car
back from Carrollton and it, together
with the regular passenger coach and
two freight cars was badly torn up.
Several passengers were on board,
but fortunately only two were hurt,
and their wounds are slight.
Dr. W. H Starr, of near Sharpsburg
was thrown from his seat across the
aisle, and his right side and arm bruis
ed and scratched.
Conductor Willard Ruff received a
cut on the left hand.
The passengers, consisting of ladies
and gentlemen, were crowded into the
engine and brought to the city.
Owing to the wrecked cars and
track, the train due to leave here at
10:10 was delayed, to give way to the
construction train, which proceeded at
ence to the scene and cleared the
track.

Ruggia-Kno-iand Agreement-
Washington, May I—According to
official statements, the government
does not coincide in the serious views
of the arrangement of England and
Russia concerning China, taken by
Europe. The government regards it
as a mutual arrangement on the part
of Russia and England not to encroach
on each other’s sphere of influence in i
China. Tbe government does not be- I
lieve that tbe en lente means the bes '
ginning of the partitioning of China. :
This government, it was asserted, has I
no concern in the matter, beyond a!
commercial interest, and nothing has.
developed going to show that England
and Russia will shut out other nations
Should it develop otherwise, the Uni'
ted States will resort diplomatically to
secure a reversion of existing condi
tions.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub I
He to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. Tbe pro
prietors of Dr. King's New Discovery

have given away over ten million trial
bottles of this great medicine; and

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
i They Met and Transacted Some Busi
ness Today
The County Commissioners met in
regular session at the office of their
• secretary, A. C Sorrell, today and did
much business.
The secretary read a petition signed
by a number of citizens in Africa dis
trict, asking for a crossing under the
Central railroad and over the South
ern road, between the two factories.
Il was ordered that the county make
every effort to accommodate the peo
ple, and will urge the Central to do
their part of the work, the Southern
having already agreed to do its prorata
share.
John Holland, who is wanted tor
forfeiting his bond, is believed to be in
Atlanta, and the commissioners ins
atructed Officer Gordon to go to that
city and arrest said person, at county’s
expense.
The road tax collected by the city of
Griffin, under tbe contract of 1898, be
tween the county commissioners and
city of Griffin, having not been paid
into the county treasury, and tbe city
authorities giving no satisfactory reas
ons why said money is withheld, it
was ordered that al) work on the
streets of Griffin by the county chain
gang, cease after this date.
It was ordered that all lands bought
by county, for tax defaulters, be sold
by the commissioners, after the expi
ration of time allowed by law to be
redeemed.
Some other business of minor im
portance was transacted, after which
the session adjourned, to meet again
on the regular day appointed.

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 inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of tbe Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when if is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send - for circulars; free.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 2, 1899.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
PEOPLE.
Editor Constitution: Among the
various suggestions ‘Tow to protect
our women,” the remedy is said by
s mie <u be in ulundotiing the lonely
country borne and congregating in
villages In other words,abardon our
beautiful country homes to negroes,
through fear, and hold out the induce
meat to them that by a repetition of
the Palmetto outrage they can possess
all of this fair laud except tho«e parts
contiguous to villages. It is not now
worth while to seriously discuss this
proposition. This country belongs to
the Anglo Saxon race, and God being
our helper, fear will not influence us
to give any part of it up, We might
as well face the situation as it ; s, auO
recognize the evils that exist as well as
tbe many blessings that residence in
Georgia bestows upon us. Lit us aot
waste our time in trying to ascertain
who is to blame for the present condi
tion ; suffice it to say that it is a condi
tion and not a theory that we face.
The state of affairs that will force the
white race to retreat to the villages for
protection - s war, and I tore I would
advise tbe white race to enter upon
such a retreat I would advise them to
meet war with war arid force with
force until every part and parcel ot
this land would be a safe abiding place
for any law-abiding citizen whether
that citizen be white or black. The
constitution and laws of the state of
Georgia were made to meet tbe de
mandfl of civilized people ; experience
has shown us that they are not suffi
cient to prevent brutality.
I would suggest that the most effec
tive way of changing the existing state
of things by constitutional methods,
would be to change the constitution
itself, and to further provide a differ
ent method for the trial and punish
ment of certain classes of crimes. Let
a constitutional convention be called ;
put aside the cry of the demagogue
who tells of its cost; remember the
present condition of affaiis , let your
convention be composed of men who
fear God, and fear nothing else; let
them assemble and strike first the
importance of all ignorant and vicious
voters; rearrange tbe condition of
affairs in Georgia so that it will not
be possible for the floating vote tocon
trol it; call things by their right
names; and let the world know that
we boldly intend and mean that tbe
Angle-Saxon race shall control the
state of Georgia for the next hundred
years, and forever.
Tbe condition of political affairs in
Georgia has made ignorant and vicious
negroes believe that they are tbe equal
of the white man in everything. Strike
at the cause and you will see the effect
removed. Provide in your constitu
tion for a new class of crimes to be
known as infamous crimes; under
! these crimes class all assaults upon
women and allow the legislature from
time to time to add to ibis class of
crimes. Then provide that whenever
so infamous crime is committed, an
affidavit may be filed with the ordina
ry of the county to that effect, and
that the ordinary of the county shall
immediately notify in writing the
judge of the circuit, and that within
five days after such notice the judge
of the circuit shall c< nvene the supe
rior court in session; provide further
that when such court is so convened
in session that it may be adjourned
from place to place in order that testi
mony may be taken without compell
ing the victim of the assault to appear
in a public court In other Words,
provide for a speedy hearing that can
not in any event be delayed. Provide
further that the grand juries, instead
of being discharged at the end of the
term, shall hold over until the begin
ning of tbe next term. Make grand
jurors ex-officio peace officers, and let
them make a report on the first day ol
the next term of the court of all viola
tions of law in the several counties
that have come to their knowledge
during vacation Make this grand
jury subject to the instanter call of
the judge. Allow counties to take
such measures for their protection
and the enforcement of tbe law, as
they may see fit, for the employment
of county police, mounted or dis
mounted.
It may be said that these reforms
can be accomplished by legislation ; it
is possible, but not likely. A hen
changes are made by the legislature
all such changes are subject to review
by tbe supreme court on the question
of their constitutionality; hence, ths

i necessity for making the constitution
i fit tbe changed condition of our peo
ple, and it would be much better to
, have it done as a whole by a constitu
tional convention and not as a patch
• work consisting of successive amend-
■ ments.
Let us all get together, moved by a
i common impulse for the good of our
’ state. The time has come when all
minor considerations should bo cast
aside.
- These questions should be solved
without regard to what others may
think of us, or what, impressions our
> actions may create outside of the state
’ of Georgia.
i The true test should be :Is it right?
Is it just? Is it for the best interests of
i Georgia? Louts F. Garrard

When Nature
Needs assistance it may be best to render
it promptly, but one should remember to
use even the most perfect remedies only
when needed. The best and most simple
and gentle remedy is the Syrup of Figs,
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co.

“My ambition, ” said a French writer,
“is to condense a book into a chapter, a
chapter into a paragraph, a paragraph
I into a phrase.” A teacher in one of our ‘
colleges said of Richardson, “His am

paragraph, a paragraph into a page, a
page into a chapter and a chapter into
a volume.”—New York Commercial ,

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of tbe well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and pre.-md ing ’
them in the form most refreshing to tbe
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling < ne
to overcome habitual const ipat ion per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality' and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without, weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufact tiring figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste.but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained fn m ei.i a and
other aromatic plants. 1 . a :. • .od
