, A BERNER SCHEME.
AN INJUSTICE DONE THE VOTERS
AT EXPERIMENT
The Executive Committee Refuses to
Open the Polls There, as is Always
Done in Primaries.
The democratic executive oßmmit
tee of Spalding county met in tbenf
fia<- ol Col W. D. Carbart yesterday
afternoon
Some ot the members suggested
that a voting precinct be established
at Experiment, which is generally «
done t«v primaries for (be convenience
of parties living in that thickly settled
oeigNborbood, but ths Berner faction
would not agree to it The last straw
to which they are clinging is the hope ,
that voters out of the city will remain
at home, and they would not allow the
polls to be opened at Experiment, as
usual. . . j
This action on the part of Mr Bar- ’
ner’a friends ffill prove a great disad
vantage to the voters of Africi dis*
triot, as they will be forced to vote at
tbe precinct which is established at or
near Pomona -‘si ;-*
They have, virtually disfranchised
tbe operatives at tbe new mills, who
have paid their taxes and ARE EN
TITLED TO VOTE.
Buch methods may win for the time
being, but they will rebound on those
who perpetrate in the future.
A committee consisting of A. W.
Walker and D. L. Patrick was appoin
ted to confer with Judge E. W. Beck
and ask him to adjourn court Monday
so that the jurors and witnesses could
remain in their respective districts
and cast their votes for governor and
state bouse officers. . .
The committee waited on Judge
Beck at hie home and laid before him
the request of the executive commit
tee.
Tbe judge informed them lhat it
would be impossible to adjourn court
Monday, as witnesses and attorneys
from different sections of tbe state
would be here /that day, but if any
juror remained M home to vote he
would not be finea by the court. Any
deficiency thus occasioned would be
supplied by . other jurors who would
be secured from this city.
Tbe committee thanked Judge Beck
for the concession and assured him it
would be appreciated by our entire
county
BRAVE AMERICANS
Respond to the Call of Duty Which
Lookes Like Certain Death.
Washington, June 4.-—A report has
just reached here which is going tbe
rounds in tbe navy department that'
the Spanish fleet baa been destroyed
by Sampson and Schley. Up to this
time there is no official corroboration
of it-
Friday morning Rear Admiral
Sampsom decided to close the narrow
channel entrance into tbe harbor at
Santiago by sinking the collier Merri
mac, loaded, with coal, in the harbor.
Lieutenant Hobson and six men
were selected out of 47 who volunteer
ed to go up)n a minion whioh was al
most certain death. Tbe Merrimac
steamed into tbe channel under a tors
rific fire from the Spanish batteries
and after attaining tha desired loca
tion she was anchored and Lieut Hob
son touched an electric button which
exploded an internal torpedo, and tbe
vessel sank immediately.
The brave ore w could not make their
way back to their fleet, co they rode
into tbe harbor and surrendered to tbe
Spaniards.

HE EXCELLENCE OF SHUT OF FIOS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As - the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts bn the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
