THE EVENING GALL. •• Vol. X. No. 204. 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.

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.

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. F. J CHENEY <t CO., Toledo, O.

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 Royal I Baking Powder I 1 I r Made from pure cream of tartar. • !

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 Columbus, Ga., May 1, 1899 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. Two Extremes. “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 bition was to expand a phrase into a paragraph, a paragraph into a page, a page into a chapter and a chapter into a volume.”—New York Commercial , Advertiser i|l> W w Excellent Combination. | 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 ’ known to tbe California lig St i.i p Co. only.
