Vol IX. No. 114.
COURT CONVENES.
Judge Beck Delivers a Charge to an
Able Grand Jury.
Yesterday morning Judge Marcus
W. Beck, of thia circuit, opened the
spring term of Spalding Superior court
on schedule time and at once proceed*
ed to business.
The following grand jurors were
present and after being qualified retir
ed for organization. Capt. 8. Grant
land was chosen foreman, and Thurl
Manley was selected as bailiff, when
the body returned to the court for
definite and explicit instructions:
Seaton Grantland, H. 0. Cummings, W.
P. Blanton, Chas. B. Waldrup, J. G. Rhea,
J. O. Prothro, J. M. Dingier, T. M. Man
ley, W. R. Hanleiter, M. S. Johnston, B.
C. Randal), F. B. Terry, C. T. Digby,T. J.
White, 8. H. Deane, H. W. Hasselkus, D.
A. Oxford, A. W. Walker, T. C. McLau
rin, H. H. Whittington, J. M. Jones.
The Court’s charge, though brief,
was clear, distinct and forcible, cover
ing the entire field of violations of the
criminal code- Judge Beck was par
ticularly pointed and emphatic touch
ing violators of the prohibition law
and that of gaming.' He felt confident,
after looking into the faces of the
jurors chosen and sworn for the term,
that it was not necessary to particular
ize—he knew that violators of law
would be carefully investigated by that
jury, and they repaired to their room
to b?giu their labors.
The following traverse jurors were
then qualified for the first week:
Panel No. I.—Henry P. Eady, J. T.
Freeman, F. F. Passmore, W. N. Cop
pedge, R. L. Williams, W. W. Duke, 8. D.
Riegel, T. J. McKneely, A. B Shackle
ford, Jr., J. L. Maddox, J. H. Keith, Jno.
F. Ogletree.
Panel No. 2.- -M. L. Sandifer, L. G.
Huckaby, P. 8. Parmalee, H. T. Patter
son, J. R. Lindsay, Jno. C. Westmoreland,
S. J. Futral, L. L. Stanley, J. H. Malaier,
J. W. Shivers, J. P. Crawford, J. H. Gla
zier. .
The civil docket was then sounded
and al', cases ready for trial were set
f* today .
At 3 o’clock in the afternoon the
court announced that he would take
up the criminal docket Wednesday
morning at 8 :30.
The civil branch of the court, of
late years, rarely ever consumed more
than three days, and it is thought
the term will not hold longer than
this week
Still the grand jury may develop
more business than at present antici
pated. A better set of men is rarely
drawn in a county to serve as grand
jurors than compose the present jury
of Spalding county. They will prove
to be a strong defense of law and a ter
ror to evil doers.

People overlooked the importance of per
manently beneficial effects and were satis

is generally known that Syrup of Figs will
permanently overcome habitual constipa

other laxatives, which act for a time, but
finally injure the system.

THE CONTEST IS ON.
Col. Terrell’s Possum Supper Needs
Reinforcing, or He May Get Left.
The gubernatorial contest at pres
ent appears to have narrowed itself
down to Col. Terrell, of Meriwether,
ahd Judge Candler, of Hal), with the
latter far in the lead.
Col. Terrell has many warm friends
in Spalding, but no one ventures the
opinion that he could carry the county
against Judge Candler, as no one can
raise one word of criticism against the
long and useful life of Candler. He is
oho man that stands before the people
of Georgia without one blot or blemish
upon his public dr private record.
Where known he is loved and respect
ed, and to learn of him is to admire.
The Call makes no attack upon
Col. Terrell’s record, but it ventures
the opinion that his association with
the Newnan possum supper and “that
ring that controls” has done him harm
in every section of the stale
The Atkinson political ring of Geor
gia has been smashed, never again to
be resurrected, and no man can handle
the fragments even and come out with
clean hands.
The Democratic party of the State
will be in the saddle from now on and
don’t you forget it, and the party will
not seek to save or redeem any of the
old ringsters because they want office.
There “are others,” who never entered
the combine, that are worthy and true,
and none more so than Judge Candler.
New Era in Georgia Politics.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune says he had a
talk with a well-known Georgian in
that city the other day—a Georgian
who said that Hon. Hoke Smith “marks
a sort of new era io the politics” of
Georgia. At least that is what the
correspondent says that the Georgian
said, and we have no reason to doubt
it. There are a good many Georgiana
who do a lot of talking when they are
away from borne, some of them giving
expression to ideas which seem so
foreign to Georgia thought that the
average home staying Georgian does
not recognize them. It may be a fact
that Mr. Smith marks “a sort of new
era” in Georgia politics, but we feel
jure that nobody ever recognized the
fact, except the Georgian who unbur
dened his mind to the New York Tri
bune man. In saying this we do not
wish to be understood as detracting in
the least from the merits of Hon. Hoke
Smith, who has undoubtedly had an
unusually successful career.
No doubt there is curiosity to know
in what respect Mr. Smith marks “a
new era in the politics” of this state.
Well, the Georgian said that two young
Georgians—Grady and Smith—started
out to capture fame and fortune at
about the same time. Grady was an
eloquent talker and Smith was a
practical man with great executive
ability—in fact, a great organizer.
Grady captured the state first, because
of his eloquence. Mothers began to
name their babies after him and in ev
ery county young men sought to be
come orators. An eloquent tongue, it
was thought, was the surest means of
getting from between plow handles
and into the governor’s ‘chair or the
White House. Grady died young and
then Smith loomed up as Georgia’s big
man.
The young men throughout the state
began to copy him, so that now elo
quence is at a discount and Smith’s
political methods are at a premium.
Georgia’s politics is conducted on lines
laid down by Smith. This is the view
held by the Georgian who talked to
the Tribune man and who says that
Mr Smith “marks a sort of new era”
in Georgia politics.,, Does he?—Sa
vannah News.
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 the Eustachian 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
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by- Hall’s Catarrh

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1888.
A Syracuse woman was in Boston
some time ago, and she had occasion
to get a check cashed, being without
ready money, says the Syracuse Post.
She had no friend who was easily
available, but she went to a bank and
presented a check. Os course, she was
told she would have to be identified.
The cashier of the bank suggested
that she might have one of her cards.
She took out her card case, but the
card she produced proved to be that of
one of her friends. This caused her a
good deal of confusion, but the accom
modeling cashier suggested that she
might prove her identity by the ini**
tials on her card case But these, alas,
proved to be those of her mother. Her
confusion continued >to increase until
she thought of the initials on her
handkerchief. The marked article
was produced to be put in evidence,
but when it was examined it was found
to bear the initials of another friend.
She was thwarted in every direction,
but the cashier was “easy.” Boston
cashiers are apparently not as strict as
those in this part of the country. For
this particular one said he “gussed”
that it was all right, and he cashed the
check. Conductors of flimflam and
three-card monte games are directed
to Boston for a good field of opera
tion.
Blood Poison Cured.

A BAD CASE CURED.
Three years ago I contracted a blood
poison. I applied to a physician at once,
and his treatment came near killing me.
I employed an old physician and then
went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot
Springs and remained two months. Noth
ing seemed to cure me permanently, al
though temporary relief was given me. I
returned home a ruined man
with but little prospect of ever
I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood
Balm (B. B. B.) and to my utter astonish
ment it quickly healed every ulcer.
