"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.

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 ald CASTOR IA For Infants and Children Tta KM Yn Han Ahnys faght Bean the Signature of f To Cur* Cowattpotion Forever, Take Cucorets Ca&dy Cathartic. 10c or2Su *< G C.

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. R. F.
