THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X- No. 167 ' GAHIERING significant. jekyl may yet see a politi 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, N. C. Trial bottles free at Harris & Son s and Carlisle Ward’s Drug Store. Regular size 50c. and SIOO Every bottle guaranteed.

The deceased was born in Edge field, 8. C., in October, 18.31, and had been married nearly 49 years. She is survived by a husband and seven chil dren— Mrs. J. C. Pope, of Americus; Mrs. J J. Dennis, of Senoia; Mr. W. E Powell, of Zebulon; Mrs W. T. Cole, Mrs. R. A. Thompson, Mrs E. P. Johnson and Mr. \V. T. Powell, of this city, all ol whom were with her at the time of her death. Mrs. Powell was a consistent mem ber of the First Methodist church, and passed peacefully away, trusting in the promises of her Savior The funeral services will be held at her late residence at 3 o’clock this af ternoon, conducted by Rev. W. G. Woodbridge. The sympathy of our entire city is extended to the bereaved family in their great sllliction 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. Bears the the Kind You Have Always Bought Signature f/e’ . ,// p i rf 7 - For Asthma use CHENEY'S EXPECTORANT. GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1899. 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 vannah News.
