Vol IX. No. 116.
COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Bat Little Easiness Done and the
Traverse Jurors Discharged.
The criminal docket was taken up
yesterday morning and the first case
called was that of the State vs. Eth
ridge, McMahon and Britt, charged
with burglarizing the home of H. C.
Burr on the night of Dec. 31st last.
A jury was obtained with but a
short delay, when the examination of
witnesses was begun, which included
quite a number both for the prosecu
tion and the defense.
At the conclusion of the evidence
the solicitor general announced that
the case against Britt was nol proseed,
as he had shown an alibi.
The argument was opened about 4
o’clock in the afternoon by Col. E. W.
Beck, representing McMahon, who
spoke about one hour, making a very
creditable argument for his years.
Col. Thurman, repr ing Ether
idge, followed in an hour’s speech for
bis client.
Col. E. W. Hammond and Solicitor
Bloodworth followed for the prosecu
tion with two masterly speeches They
took up the chain of evidence link by
link, and so sealed the guilt of the
accused that the verdict of the jury
was freely predicted.
It was late at night when the argu
ments were concluded and tire court
gave his charge to the jury, which was
a forcible rendition of the law touch
ing the case..
After gjving instructions to the jury
and bailiffs for the night the court ad
journed until 8:30 this morning.
The jury will probably be ready to
hand in a verdict when the court
opens this morning.
Judge Beck, late in the afternoon,
announced that all jurors not engaged
in the case then on trial, and all jurors
drawn for next week, weie discharged
from further service during tbe-term.
The grand jury will remain in ses
sion probably several days longer.

It for chiropodical purposes.

WITHOUT THE COW
Batter and Cheese Can be Easily Made
Says a Scientist-
Willard G. Day, of Baltimore, is sail
io have discovered away to make but
ter and cheese without the aid of a
cow. Honey has been made without
the co-operation of the bee, and that
fact caused Mr. Day to think, wfth the
above result.
He has also produced an electric
light radiation strong enough do kill
any microbe that ever spread itself.
His product will never spoil on this
account, because the little germs,
which feed on the same vegetables as
the cow does, and which causes milk
and butter to lose their mercantile
value, through the agency of time, will
be destroyed in the process.
The scientist started out with the
knowledge that the kind of food on
which the cow is fed and the kind of
microbe nourished at the roots of this
food produce the different traits in
various frauds of butter. He began
his experiments by extracting and
then assembling artificially the same
products which are brought about by
nature
He produced from the vegetables
oils which differed but slightly from
those found in the animal kingdom,
and from that point proceeded to give
the vegetable oil the same character
istics found in the animal oil—that is,
he made oils out of grass.
That is where the electricity cimes
in. Day discovered that animal and
vegetable carbohydrates strongly, re
semble one another and the differences
existing in the oils are due to the
nitrogenous sheaths which inclose the
globules of oil. This sheath gives to
the various animal oils their character
istic odors.
If the oils could be separated from
the sheath without crushing the latter
the odor would be absent. In ordinary
h* bent or by hydraulic
pressure, the nitrogenous characteris
tics of the globule sheath are imparted
to the oil and it is impossible to sepa
rate them afterwards.
Day discovered that by the use of
the radiant energy of an electric light
of high potentiality these sheaths
could be made to shrivel up while the
oil which they contained could then
be extracted by slight pressure, free
horn the characteristics of the animal
or plant from which they are derived.
Did Not Do Miracles.
A little town near Providence boasts
a church whose pastor, besides being
an eloquent preacher, is a man of stal
wart proportions. At one of his even
ing prayermeetings the services were
disturb'd by two young men, who au
dibly scuffed at everything they saw
or heard. Finally the pastor remon
strated with them on their behavior,
and asked them why they attended the
meeting.
“We came expecting to see miracles
performed,” impudently replied one of
the rascals. Leaving the desk and
walking quietly down life aisle, the
pastor seized one after the other by
the collar, and, as they disappeared
out of the door, remarked: “We don’t
perform miracles here, but we do cast
out devils.”—Boston Globe. *
In Olden Times
People overlooked the importance of per
manently beneficial effects and were satis
fied with transient action; but now that it
is generally known that Syrup of Figs will
permanently overcome habitual constipa
tion, well-informed people will not buy
other laxatives, which act for a time, but
finally injure the system.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY HORNING, JANUARY 20, 1828.
Great Gold Possibilities.
The rich gold deposits of the Klon
dike, which have occasioned such a
sensation, are known as placer depos
its; that is, the gold is found in free
dust, mixed with gravel. The process
of extracting the gold consists merely
in separating the gravel and the gold
dust by washing or “panning.” Gold
doea not “grow,” or otherwise come
into existence, in such deposits. It
first exists in quartz and nuggets, and
by the action of glaciers, streams or
other agencies is ground into duet and
drifted to the placer pockets, or de
posits. When the Klondike placer
discoveries were first made the old gold
hunters and the scientists expressed
tbe opinion that it was probably only
a matter of time when the “mother
lode,” from which the dust found had
come, would be discovered, and they
believed it would be very rich. •
A few days ago reports were received
from the Klondike country leading to
the belief that the “mother lode” has
been discovered, and that expectations
with regard to it will probably be real*
ized. It is alleged that quartz which
will assay as much as SIOO,OOO to tbe
ton has been-taken out near tbe base
of a mountain peak known as “Tbe
Dome,” at tie source of El Dorado
creek. The deposit was found some
thirty feet below under a
muck and alluvium deposit. This, it
is believed, is but one vein of the
“mother lode,” and that others will
come to light iu tbe near future.
The reputed richness of the quartz,
of course, is still a matter of doubt,but
wheu it is borne in mind that in some
of the placer deposits of the Klondike
the yield has been from $lO to SIOO to
the pan, it does not tax reason to be
lieve that the source of the supply is
very rich indeed.
If the deposits should prove very
extensive, and as valuable as has been
reported—or only half as valuable—it
s evident that the movement to the
gold fields would be greatly augment
ed, and it ia possible that the opera
lions on the deposits during the next
few years would have marked t fleet in
tbe markets for the precious metals.
Tbe newly discovered deposits, how
ever, are not so readily available as the
placer deposits which are now being
laid under contribution To extract
gold from quartz necessitates the use
of more or less heavy machinery. At
present there is no means, or only very
crude means, of transportation to tbe
gold fields. However, should the ear
lier reports of the rich find be verified,
it is assured that human ingenuity
would devise some means of getting
the gold out. With gold, glittering
gold, in sight, the mind of man does
not admit that there are insurmount
able obstacles to securing it.—Savan

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portjpn of the ear. There is
only one way to care 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
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

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 physically,
with but little prospect of ever getting well
I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood
Balm (B. B. B.) and to my utter astonish
ment it quickly healed every ulcer.
