THE MORNING CALL.
Vol. X. No. 128.
INTO ACTIVE SERVICE.
THIRD GEORGIA HAS A DANGER
OUS DUTY TO PERFORM.
Has Been Ordered to Drive Rebell
ious Cubans From Trocha and
Will Have Lively Times-
Several letters were received in At
lanta yesterday morning from officers
of tbe Third Georgia regiment stating
that tbe command was under orders
to proceed immediately to one of tbe
trochas—which the insurgents bad
seized and are holding—and take
charge of it.
Which means that after all the
Third Georgia regiment will see active
service—and will probably be the only
regiment so favored or so fortunate.
The insurgents’ army has possessed
itself of tbe military railroad that runs
alongside of this famous deadline, and
refuses to allow the American engin
eers sent from Havana to operate it.
Accordingly orders have been issued
by the war department that the trocha
and the railroad be retaken, by force,
if necessary, and the insurgents dis.
armed.
And for this service the Georgians
have been selected.
Afterwards, as they have already
been instructed, they will be detailed
to guard and hold the position.
The vacancies to be- made in the
ranks of Third Georgia regiment, now
in Cuba, by the resignations of Capt.
Amos Baker and Capt A. J. Burr, are
to be filled from the ranks of the regi
ment, This position has beep taken
by Governor Oatr.d er who in the past
two days has been besieged with appli
cations for appointments from a large
number of persons in the state, as well
as from the men of tbe Third Georgia
themselves
Governor Candler stated yesterday
that it was his intention to promote
officers already in the regiment to the
vacancies, which he has beaid are to
be made ir.i the near future He ex
pressed the opinion that the men who
hail worked to make the regiment
what it was should ba tendered the
promotions in the ranks in preference
to appointing mep on tbe outside.
Governor Candler said that th : s
rule would be adhered to closely for
the present, and although he had re
ceived a number of applications from
different parts of the state, be would
be compelled to consider first the
applications of the men already with
the regiment who were deserving of
promotions —Constitution..

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
rpoonful. It acts directly on tie blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure, rend for circulars and tes

Stewart of Nevada.
There was a fierce thunder storm
last night and air of gloom about the
senate all today, as if some-calamity
were impending or some great sorrow
had fallen upon the members, says
the Washington correspondence if
the Chicago Record. It was the re
sult of the news from Nevada —the re
election of Senator Stewart and the
prospect of being compelled to listen
to his speeches for another six years,
Mr. Stewart is a a interminable talker,
but his colleagues could endure that
if he would talk on more than one
subject, which be declines to do, He
makes the same speech over and over
again almost every day, so that sena
tors with good memories can repeat it
almost verbatim, and bis familiar
phrases about tbe capitalistic vam*
pires with the fetid fangs and the
money devils and the crime of '73 are
more familiar to a majority of the
senate than tbe ten commandments.
Ex-Senator Everts hit off Mr Stew
art’s peculiarities in a little story that
he toll! at a dinner given in honor of
Senator Spooner when the latter was
leaving public life six years ago.
After the coffee was served one after
another of colleagues arose and pro
nounced a eulogy. When Mr. Stew
art’s turn came he said that while
Spooner was a good fellow he was all
wrong on and proceeded to
repreat the old speech he bad made so
many times in the Senate. Senator
Everts, who next took the floor, said
that Stewart reminded him of a man
he bad met in an insane asylum one
time when he was acting as a member
of a board of visitors. Tbe superin
tendent told them that they must say
cheerful things to the patients, and
therefore when be saw a lunatic sit
ting astride of a table beating it with
a whip and pretending to drive it
with a pair of string lines he walked
up to him and said : “That’s a fine
hobby you have there, my friend.”
“It isn’t a hobby,’ answered the
lunatic, “It’s a horse.”
“What's tbe difference between a
horse and a hubby?” suggested Mr.
Everts, The lunatic turned on him
with an air of supreme contempt and
remarked: -You blank fool, any body
can get <IF a horse, but nobody ever
got off a hobby.”

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 3, 1899.
THE PROFESSIONAL WORRIER
Will Bear Your Burden for You at So
Much Per Burd.
This is an age of new things, and
occult science has developed subst tnces
conditions and professions that
were on'y dreamed (>l in other days.
A New Orleans man of cu’ture, who
has al ways been well fixed and has
never been without market money,
and never had business troubles, has
bsen quite successful in establishing a
“Don’t Worry" school. He has done
much good He has brought sunshine
and happiness into homes from which
they had been driven out by worry.
He has discounted trouble that his
friends would insist upon borrowing,
and has smoothed away wrinkles that
would come across the foreheads of
fretting people. Yet there are some
people who will not be naturally com
forted and for them a new angel has
appeared inThe shape of a professional
worrier.
This man, who has been quite suc
cessful in his business in New York
may soon come to New Orleans in per
eon, or open a branch c ffice here. For
those people who thins worrying is
necessary to carry on their Dueiness;
he will be a welcome relief. Some
careless men have become hardened
of heart, and tough of skin ; they bor»
row money they never Intend to re
turn ; they,run up board bills or gro
cery bills they never intend to pay;
they stand off tailors for fine clothes
they wear without ever expecting to
own They are not worried. They
say let tbe other fellows—tbe men we
owe—do the worrying.
That is an easy shifting of trouble
for the thick skinned and tough ; but
it will not do for the honest, sensitive
people who take their misfortunes and
troubles to heart. They believe that
worrying must be done, and that they
must do it It is for such as these
that the professor of worry will open
hie institute The man who doesn’t
care a tinker’s little soft solder dam of
bread what happens, will have no use
for the professor of worry. He is for
those who are convinced that worry
ing must be done. They go to ths
professor who undertakes to do worry
ing for other people, and they pay
him according to their needs and bis
schedule of prices. It is said that in
ordinary cases be will charge not
more than $2 per worry. In more
serious cases he must be retained by
the day, and be given much more
money. He is worth it A great many
men aie made miserable by worrying
over affairs that would come out all
the same if they did not worry. But
they are built to worry and make
themselves sick over it and make all
people about them miserable, The
piofessor who will do the worrying for
them is a happy relief.
Damon and Pythias were such
friends that one would die for the
other David and Jonolhan would
bear each other’s woey. There is said
to be an honor among thieves that
would make one suffer imprisonment
for another as a test of friendship.
Men have been known to commit
murder, and to swear falsely for a
friend. But the professor of worry is
not of this class He assumes no
man’s crimes. He is no cat’s paw. He
in legitimate business, and simply of
fers to do the worrying for nervous
people who think worrying should be
done He cornea very near filling a
long-felt want, and should be encour
aged Don’t worry Let the pro
fessor of worry do all that for you.—

How It Is Down In Macon.
Judge Felton, of Macon, imposed a
fine of SSOO on Ike Baehinski Tuesday
for selling whiskey on Sunday.
Judge Felton said that this was the
second time that be bad heaid a plea
of guilty on the same charge from
Bashinski.
“I am not a moralist or a purist”
said the judge, but I am here to see
that the laws of this state are observed
and justice is administered, and with
the help of God and the people of this
county, I will do it.
“I am an anti—prohibit ionist from
principal. I have never in any way
been interested in the sale of liquor,
and never expect to be as long as I
live, consequently my anti-prohibition
views are honest and from a straight
conviction.
‘ But equally as set'led are only con
victions as to the Bible commandment
tbe ‘six days slialt thou labor and do
all that thou bast to do.’ The law of
the state is against the sale of liquor
on Sunday, and that law must be ob
served while I am on this bench, and
sooner the people who deal in liquor
understands that the better, for I shall
punish every man who is sent to me
by the grand jury.
“Let Mr. Bashinski pay a fine of
five hundred dollars or serve twelve
months on tbe chain gang. It will be
useless to say a word, not one penny
will be taken off the fine,"
Mr. Felder asked that Mr. Bashinski
be given until tbe next day to get the
money with which to pay the fine.
Judge Felton refused, saying that tbe
prisoner was in the hands of the
sheriff, who would collect the fine or
take Bashinski to jail. The fine was
paid.
If there were a fev more judges in
the state like Judge Felton, its laws
would not be violated as much as is
now the case.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.

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

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does 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 Swamp-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. ¥.. f.r a
sample bottle and book telling all about it,
both sent absolutely free by mail. 1
