CAL. RECONCILIATION.
Thomasville Gossips Trying to Fig
are Out the Meaning of the
Coming Meeting
Thomasville, Ga , March 19
Thomasville for the first time since
the President’s visit, was rife with poli
tical gossip today.
Jekyl Island, speculation ran, was to
be the scene of an important political
gathering, where the future course of
the" Republican party would be gone
over and settled from the public and
the press, and shielded ftom intrusion
by strict enforcement of the ‘‘no tres
passing" regulations of the rich club
which controls its destinies.
The sudden appearance of Speaker
Reed at Jekyl Islam!, the authorita
tive announcement that President Mc-
Kinley, Vice President Hobart and
Senator Hanna would make their trip
there on Monday, and the visit of
Judge Day, formerly Secietary of
State, to Thomasville, though abso
lutely mere coincidences, according to
the statements of the gentlemen
named, all of whom are.here, revived
at once recollections of the important
part in national history, born of
Thomasville conferences four years
ago
The conferences now said the gossip
were to be transferred to Jekyl Island,
the scene chosen was suggestive of the
times when Kings met on craft in
midstream to setile the destinies of
empires It is fair to say at the out
set that Senator Hanna, Vice Presi
dent Hobart and President McKinley
himself, say positively that there is no
politics whatever in their present
visit South, and that it is undertaken
solely for rest and recuperation.
REEDS PRESENCE A SURPRISE
As to speaker Reed’s presence al
Jekyl, both Senator Hanna and Vice
President Hobart did
not know the speaker was there until
they saw the papers. The latter, be
fore the arrival of the papers, was so
positive the speaker was not to be at
Jekyl Island that when a newspaper
man told him Mr. Reed was to be
there he promptly bet him 'a suit of
cloths that Speaker Reed was not at
Jekyl and would not be at Jekyl Is
land.
The news, it was evident, was also
surprising to others in the President’s
party, who ordinarily would have
heard of it had there been anticipatory
comment about the house on the sub
ject. As regards Judge Day, he is
not going to Jekyl, and probably will
be out of Thomasville on the way
home by the time the President re
turns.
MAY MEAN RECONCILIATION.
There is, nevertheless, a possibility
that the Jekyl Island trip, though not
so intended perhaps by its principals,
may have au important political bear
ing. It may prove to be the recon
ciliation ground of President McKin
ley and Speaker Reed. That their
relations are strained and the develop
ment of party policy io legislation
hindered thereby, is matter of com
mon report.
John G. Moore, whose guest Speaker
Reed is, and Cornelius Bliss, who
asked President McKinley and party
to visit him, are common friends of all
parties personally and politically, and
through them harmonious fellowship
may again prevail between the two
foremost republicans.
If the Jekyl Island trip has any po
litical outcome it will be this. Should
thia consummation come, it is quite
likely that neither the speaker nor the
president would have been privy to its
inception, for knowledge by them of
Discovered By a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that, too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened itsclutches
upon her, and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep She finally discover
ed away to recovery, by purchasing
of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, and was so
much relieved on taking first dose,
that she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured,
. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz ” Thus
writes W C. Hamnick & Co., Shelby,

afte neon nt 12 : 20, at < < ran iHne»s of
over three weeks She was suffering
with a complication of diseases, and
the family realized several days since
that there was no hope ol her re

The deceased was born in Edge

been married nearly 49 years. She is
survived by a husband and seven chil

Death of Patrick Walsh
Hon, Patrick Walsh died at his
home in Augusta Sunday morning,
after an illness of just three months.
It was the 17th of December that be
went to bed, and except for sitting up
for an hour or so, he has never been
up since. He suffered complete ner
vous prostration, and there has been
scarcely any hope of hie recovery for
weeks
Mr. Walsh was fifty-nine years old
on January 1, 1899, and was vigorous
and active, and some of his friends
treasured the hope that hie strong
constitution would serve to weather
the storm But recently he has been
in a paitielly camatose condition, and
it was evident there could be but one
issue, though it was believed it would
not come so soon as it did
Mr. Walsh was one of the best
known men in Georgia or the south.
His long connection with the Augusta
Chronicle, Associated Press, stale and
national politics, gave him a very wide
acquaintance, while his genial cor
diality made a friend of almost every
acquaintance.
Glorious News
Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of
Whashita, I. T. He writes : “Four
bottles of Electric Bitters has cured
Mrs. Brewer of scrofula, which had
caused her great suffering for years.
Terrible sores would break out on her
head and face, and the best doctors
could give no help; but her cure is
complete and her health is excellent.”
This shows what thousands have
proven—that Electric Bitters is the
best b ! ood purifier known. It’s the
supreme remedy for eczema, tetter,
salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running
sores. It stimulates liver, kidneys and
bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion,
builds up the strength. Only 50 cents.
Sold by Harris & Son and Carlisle &
Ward, Druggists. Guaranteed.
such an ulterior hope by their hosts
would have prevented its accomplish
ment. This view is entirely consistent
with the statements of the principal
persons who will be there, for they
declare absolutely politics cuts no
figure in the trip, and their denials
were in no sense technical, but broad
and comprehensive.
REED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
The senator, when told of the reports
that there was to be a big political
powwow at Jekyl Island with Speaker
Reed and others, said :
“It is silly business talking about
political conferences on this trip It
is for rest and nothing else I wish
they would let up talking about poli
tics being in it The Vice-President
had the grip and i» run down and I
mean to keep him here as long as I
stay. Mr. McKinley’s nerves weie
worn out with the strain. He needed
to brace up. These drives about here
and the quiet life, are just bringing
him right up You see how much
be'ter he is
“No, no, no; the trip to Jekly Island
has nothing to do with politics We
would not come way down here to talk
politics. Yes, I see Speaker Reed is
at Jekly, but it has nothing to do with
our trip.

McKinley to be near reed.
And Then Newspaper Men Will be
Barred From Jekyl
Brunswick, Ga , March 18.— Active
preparations are under way for the
arrival and entertainment of President
McKinley when he reaches Brunswick
Monday. He will be met by Mayor
Atkinson, the newspaper men, and
citizens generally and a .cordial tecep
tion given him.
Ex Secretary of the Interior Corne
lius N Bliss, who will be bis boston
Jekyl, and several distinguished guests
of the Jekyl Island Club will come up
from the island to receive the presi
dential party and escort its members
to the club Among these are Thomas
Nelson Page, the distinguished novel
ist ; Robert Howell Russell, the well
known artist and illustrator of Gib
son’s pictures; H. W. Cmnon, presi
dent of the Fourth National Bank of
New York; Gen. Hayes, the well
known military man of New York
state ; Joseph Stickney, the coal mine
magnate ; Joseph Pulitzer, of the New
York World; James A. Scrymser,
president of the Central and South
American Railroad ; II K Porter, the
Pittsburg iron king ; W. B. Isham,
president of the Bank of the Metropolis
of New York, and Robert C. Pruyn, of
the Commercial Bank of Albany, N,
Y* * *
Strict instructions have been given
that no newspaper men be allowed on
Jekyl during the president’s stay, and
the only way this can be got around is
through work on Mr. Bliss. He holds
the strings, and it is understood to be
his desire that no newspaper men
come down, as the president is sup
posed to be simply out for rest ano
recreation.
President McKinley and party will
occupy the Frederic Baker cottage
This is located on thej[uorth side of
the Jekyl Club bouse, and is about 200
yards distant from the Sans S>uci
apartment house, wherein Speaker
Reed is domiciled the guest of John
C. Moore of New York
Il begins to look now as if the wily
speaker has scored a hit on the Presi
dent and Mark Hanna. In coming to
Jekyl just at this time be still occupies
the position of having the administra
tion making overtures to him. It is
a case of the President again coming
to him. The game is one that is draw
ing attention from the entire country,
and local newspapers men are kept
busy answering questions from papers
outside of this territory.
Speaker Reed is taking life easy,
and there appears no true# of anxiety
on his fat contenancs over the ap
proaching visit of the nation’s chief
executive He knows that he w&s on
Jekyl first, and that the evidence is all
in his favor as to the administration
coming to him. Whatever may
have been the wire-working to ac
complish thia end, the result is any
thing but unfavorable to the speaker,
and be took a spin over the island this
morning with apparent delight. * * *
At present the indications are for a
gathering of the clans and the Reed-
Roosevelt combination may have the
smithereens knocked into it by the
shrewd and cunning Hanna.—Sa

There are so many about n« who are
in trouble; so many homes where
there is sadness and gloom ; so much
sorrow. Ob, that we could find time
to comfort the sorrowing, cheer the
faint, and lift up the fallen Just along
this line James Whitcomb Riley writes
a beautiful little poem, which we re
produce, as follows :
If you should see a fellow-man with trou
ble’s flag unfurled,
An’ lookin’ like he didn’t have a friend in
all the world,
Go up an’ slap him on the back, an’ holler
“How d’you do
An’ grasp his hand so warm he’ll know
he has a friend in you ;
Then ax him what’s a hurtin’ him, an’
laugh his cares away,
An’ tell him that the darkest night is just
before the day;
Don’t talk graveyard palaver, but say it
right out loud,
That God would sprinkle sunshine in the
trail of every cloud.

Excellent Combination.
' The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy- are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
