A “Bluff That Paid WaU.
"Here's a true story of cold cheek,”
said a local real estate dealer to a re
porter of the New Orleans Times Dem
ocrat. "Eight years ago a New Orleans
man lost a good job here and went to
a certain southern city with just $2 in
his pocket.
“He was well dressed, and had a
plausible tongue, and bearing that the
contract for building a court house
was about to be let by a reform board
of commissioners, he walked in and
actually secured the job. They gave
him two days to file a bond, and he
went straight to a banker, showed him
where there was money in the scheme,
in thirty minutes persuaded him to
come bis security. Now mark you, he
knew no more about erecting a public
building than a softshell crab knows
about Greek verba, but ho telegraphed
immediately to a big contracting firm
in 81. Louis, and in 48 hours was in
consultation with their expert. As a
result he sublet the work at s figure
that left him about $15,000 profit, af
ter giving the banker a slice. AM the
time he was doing this be bad only
his $2 to go on.
He used it for shaves and shines,
standing off everything else, but be
bad the deal closed inside of three
weeks and the spoils salted away.
Then, of course, he was in clover. He
made some lucky speculations after*
ward in phosphate lands and is worth
today at least $50,000. I happen to
know that this story is true in every
particular, and whenever I think of it
lam reminded of a remark make by
Imre Kirafy, the celebrated manager
of spectacular shows. He is a Hun*
garian and don’t speak English very
well. One day a friend was congratu
lating him upon a successful produc
tion, and said : ‘lmre, with God and
luck a man can work wonders.*‘Ya as,’
replied Kiralfy, ‘mil gall and luck a
mfcn do mos’ anything.* ”
• An Important Difference.
To make it apparent to thousands, who
think themselves ill, that they are not af
flicted with any disease, but that the sys
tem simply needs cleansing, is to bring
comfort home to their hearts, as a costive
condition is easily cured by using Syrup
of Figs. Manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Company only, and sold by all

Bean the The Kind You Have Always Baught
A Disgraceful Act-
We received the sad intelligence last
week that Rev. Ed F. Cook, chaplain
of tbe First Georgia regiment, was
subjected to the most disgraceful treat
ment at Brown’s hotel at Howard on
the night of October 14th, that we
have heard of in many years, and at
which we feel very much grieved. Mr.
Cook was on bis way from Macon to
Columbus traveling on horseback, and
arrived at Howard about dark. He was
directed to the hotel as a place of quiet
comfortable repose by a prominent
citizen of tbe town. Late in the night,
it is stated, tbe proprietor of tbe bouse
in company with a pan who has here
tofore been much respected in our
community and who travels for a very
reliable music firm of Columbus, en
tered tbe room of Mr, Cook beastly
intoxicated.
Mr. Cook earnestly plead with tbe
men to be quiet, but it is said that in
stead of this they heaped vile oaths
upon him and in their drunken de
bauch tried to force their liquor upon
him. He called for protection but
failed to receive it, and had t) endure
the trials of the night. When day*
light came be left in haste. We men
tion this matter io order that our next
grand jury may investigate tbe case,
as Mr. Cook is a Christian gentleman
wbo deserves th/* cere and protection
of tbe people, and we would further
advise our Columbus friend that if be
desires tbe patronage of cur people he
should mend bis ways.—Butler Her

A Fair Proposition.
Tbe proposition which the Acme
Wrecking Company of San Francisco
makes to the government is a fair one,
says tbe Savannah News. It is that it
will undertake to raise the battleship
Maine, which lies in the bottom of the
harbor of Havana, and will ask no
compensation if it does not succeed.
If it succeeds it will ask for its work
the value of tbe wreck as fixed at the
condemnation proceedings, or if that
is not satisfactory, it will take the vet*
sei for its trouble, and exhibit it at the
different coast cities. It believes that
it conld make a large sum of money
from snch an exhibit.
There does not appear to be any
good reason why tbe government
should not accept tbe proposition, and
there aie several why it should. One
is that the wreck should be removed
from tbe Havana harbor. Another is
that tbe people would like to see tbe
ship afloat again. And still another
is that if the wreck were raised new
light might be thrown on the question
as to the means by which she was
destroyed. Tbe world is, of course,
pretty well satisfied that she was des
troyed by a torpedo, which was explod
ed from tbe shore. Most people no
doubt believe that tbe Spaniards ex
ploded tbe torpedo, but there is no
clear proof that they did. The Cubans
might have done it with tbe hope that
it would bring about war between tbe
United States and Spain, which would
result in freeing Cuba from the Span
ish yoke.
There is a sentiment connected
with the Maine which would be grati
fied by seeing her afloat again. Tbe
Acme company should be given the
, permission it asks.
Bobbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was tbe
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, paju continually in
back and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians bad given me up. Fortun
ately, a friend advised trying ‘Electric
Bittersand to my great joy and sur
prise, the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am dow a well
man. I know they saved my life, and
robbed tbe grave of another victim ”
No one should fail to try them. Only
50c t a per bottle at J. N. Harris <fc Son’s
and Carlisle & Ward’s drug store.
