A large number attended the Con federate reunion in Atlanta, ind had the pleasure of seeing Miss Winnie Davis, the Daughter of the Confedera cy.

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. Free Pills. Send your address to to 11. E.

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.

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.

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.
