A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Frank Evans Arrested for Assault
With Intent to Rape.
’Frank Evans attempted to make a
criminal assault upon the person of
Janie VVewftn oreland Wednesday after
noon, and would have succeeded but
for the timely arrival of the woman’s
husband
The parties are all negroes, and live
about one mile-east of the city.
Janie Westmoreland left her home
Wednesday afternoon to walk to Grif
fin, and while passing through a thick
et, was attacked by Evans The wo
man resisted with all her strength and
cried aioud for help Her cries were
beard by her husband, Grant West
moreland, who ran to her assistance,
and gave Evans a severe beating
The woman was badly bruised and
her clothes were torn from her body
during the struggle
Grant Westmoreland came to the
city yesterday morning and swore out
a warrant against Evans, charging
him with assault with intent to rape.
Officer Phelps and Deputy Sheriff
Freeman found Evans, after consider
able trouble, and landed him in jail.
The grand jury is now in session, and
they will probably , find a true bill
against Evans, and he will be tried
next week.
Pay All You Can.
This is a season when merchants are
likely to encourage purchasers to run
up bills, and when many people will
be tempted to “charge” things that
they are perfectly able to pay. One
of the best cures for dull times is to
keep money on the move. Let the
people who owe small bills they can
pay any lime, pay them now and let
people who have the cash pay for
what they bay instead of charging it.
It is astonishing bow the presence
of a sufficient quantity of circulating
medium livens up trace. Smith pays
Brown, and this enables Brown to pay
Jones, and Jones in turn pays Will
iams who passes it on to Johnson, and
so it goes on and on, settling one debt
after another and improving the
general condition of business.
It is astonishing how many obliga
tions in a community can be cancel
ed with a hundred dollars kept active
ly in circulation and going from one
to another. Now is the time to pay
your small obligations.—Augusta
Chronicle.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1899.
COLONEL BERNER’S FLAKS
Ho May be a Formidable Gubernato
rial Candidate in Future-
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Columbus Enquirer sends his paper
the following political gossip that will
be read with inter, s':
The manner in which ex-Governor
Black of New York was deprived of
the renomination which precedent has
always given pant war fever which
thrust Roosevelt into office, together
with the inevitable political “straws"
which indicate the direction of the
wind, has just faintly aroused the
question if a parallel may not eventu
ally he found in Georgia politics.
Considered even casually this con
tingency is startling, but when the
facts in the case are briefly reviewed
what at first appears to be only a mis
ty possibility, assumes a decidedly tan
gible shape. In the first place, Gov
Candler has been forced by the exi
gencies of state poverty to take an
unpopular stand in regard to the ex
penditures ot the state in several direc
tions, which reached the prejudice of
a certain class of voters7 and which
the slightest word from a recognized
leader would fan into an open flame
of opposition. Col, Berner last year
made one of the most meteoric and
picturesque campaigns in the history
of the state. He espoused the cause
of the agricultural classes as a special
feature of hie campaign, and the fact
that he rolled up more opposition to
the governor that) could the machine
manipulated by the Atkinson wing of
the party, augurs his strength in the
state.
His military experiences must give
him a stronger hold than ever on hie
fiiends, and extend his influence
where it was never felt before. The
fact alone that he has command of a
regiment composed almost entirely of
Georgia boys must have great weight
with many of the families represented
in the Third. Doubly significant algo
is the little paragraph in a special
from Savannah which hints that the
colonel will return from Cuba in time
to participate in the next campaign,
or that more probably he wifl resign
his commission after a few months
residence at Nuevitas. No one who
knows the indomitable will of the
man can doubt that he will seize every
advantage to further his candidacy,
and as to,whether the present position
of the governor offers this chance or
not, each man is his own nest judge.
It may bethat Col. Berner will de
cide that be can put up a stiffer and
more effective fight two years from
now than be could in four years, when
the result of a successful administra
tion would be hard to neutralize when
placed to the credit of any man whom
Col. Candler might endorse. Then
again, ex-Governor Atkinson wants to
go to the senate, and his assistance to
a campaign where the views of the
governor would natually count much
with a legislature, would render
him a potential factor.
Thus it is that in its strange and in
scrutable revolutions, the wheel of
Fortune may develop a Roosevelt and
Depew in Georgia politics. It is a
little early to prophesy, but not too
early to speculate.

A Six-Shooter With 43 Notches
Among the Curios which, attracted
much attention at a recent display in
Maryville was a big six shooter. Back
of this gun is a history that is as inter
eating as the most thrilling yellow
back novel At the commencement of
the civil war it was the property of
Jesse James. During a raid in the
neighborhood of Independence, Mo.,
Quantrell and his gang of followers
became very hard pressed.
They were fighting for their lives on
the run, when a member of the party,
who now lives in Maryville, but whose
name the Tribune says, is withheld
out of deference to his wishes, had his
pistol shot from bis hand. He was
riding by the side of Jesse James, then
only a common member of Quanlrell’s
band, when the gun dropped,and with
it part of the thumb that held it.
Jesse, seeing the accident, reached
into one of the scabbards of hie own
belt, pulled forth a pistol and handed
it to his companion, who kept it until
a few years ago, when he sold it to
W. F Smith The gun had thirty
eight notches on it when Jesse gave
it away, and before the war closed the
man who succeeded to its ownership
added five more, making forly-three
—which means, of course, that torty
three men have been killed with it.
The old pistol is rusty, but it looks
like it might do good service yet in
the hands of the right man.—Kansas
City Journal.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
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 on 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

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It docs not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Bwamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Co,, Binghamton, N, Y.. f.r a
