VOLUME 17
Griffin,
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most
gressive town in Georgia. This is no
bolical description, as the record of the
live years will show.
During that time it has built and put
must successful operation a $100,000
actory and is now building another
marly twice the capital. It has pntup
a gv. iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer
„ry, an immense ice and bottling works,
aa.«h and blind factory, a broom
opened up the finest granite quarry in
ladled State®, and has many other
prises in ontemplation. It has
another. .nlroad ninety miles long, and
ocalea on the greatest system in the
the Central, has secured connection with
important rival, the East Tennessee,
and Georgia. It has just secured direct
pendent connection with Chattanooga
the W. st, and has the President of a
railroad residing here and
to Ita completion. With
its five white and three
o’i arches, it Is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has Increased its
opulation by nearly one-flfth. It has at-
r.u'.cd around its borders fruit growers
early every State In the Union, until St is
now surrovoded on nearly every side by
hards an l Tineyards. It is the home of
rape an 1 Its wine making capacity
doubled every year. It has
nuugurated a system of public schools,
seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the reoord of a half
uml simply shows the progress of an already
mirable city, with the natural advantages
having the finest climate, summer
uter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of
oun ty, situated in west Middle Georgia, wi th
healthy, fertile and roii.ng country,
cot above sea level. By the census of 1890,
will have at a low estimate between 6.000
oo9 people, and they are all of the
urt—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de-
irable settlers, who will not be any less wel-
ome if they bring money to help buildup
the town. There Is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for onr
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just
Griffin.

THE STAR.
A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPER.
The Stab is the only New York newspaper
possessing.the fullest confidence of the Na¬
tional Administration and the United Dem¬
ocracy of New York, the political battle
ground of the Republic.
Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple,
is good enough for the Star. Single hand¬
ed among the metropolitan press, it has
stood by the men called by the great Democ¬
racy to redeem the government from
twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness
and corruption and despotism to'the South.
For these fohr years past ithasbeenunswerv
ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬
land and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty in onr national affairs,
and of continued national tranqnility and
prosperity.
For people who like thatsort of Democracy
the Stab is the paper to read.
The Stab stands squarely on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in excess of
the demands of a government economically
administered is essentially oppressive and
dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬
pioned by the Republican part-of making the
government a miser, wringing millions an
nuaily from the people and locking them up
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against the right of American
citizenship. Republican political jugglers
may call it ‘'protective taxation;” the Stab’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Stab is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i nrc and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. Each issue
presents an epitome of wliat is best worth
knowing of the world's history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬
ing they are.
The Sunday Star is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the same
amount of matter. Besides the day’s news
it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto
ries, snatches of current literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. Burdette’s iniuiatible hu¬
mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’s
delightful letters are of its choice offerings.
Many of the best knbwn men and women in
literature and art are represented in its col
limns,
Tiie Weekly Stau is a large paper giving
the cream of the news the w a id over, with
special features which make it the most
complete family newspaper published. The
farmer, the mechanic, the business man too
much occupied to read a daily paper, will
get more for „iiis> dollar invested in The
Weekly Stab than from any other paper
It will be especially alert during the cam
paign, and will print fhe freshest and most
reliable political news.

HYDROPHOBIA and fright.
I>v,ui» \ u ii baled to the Former Really
< u ii»c<) t>» the Latter,
flir pniimphl event in the convention
f tin suit Medical association was tho
Itsciisri. i, over the existence of liydro-
pbel ..i 1 he debate was interesting and
Yai.mbU' and while there was n great
lillercii. i (,! opinion on certain points,
ill agro/.i Hint (he public were unneces-
-nrily scared over hydrophobia; that
even alleged cases were of great rarity,
nid that in the majority of cases in
which teath resulted from a dog’s bito
hydrophobia was not the cause of death.
All the populut symptoms of hydropho¬
bia were shown to be common to many
forms ol convulsions tetanic and convul¬
sions resulting from hysteria.
Dr. C. W. Dulles, who had been ap¬
pointed by tho society to investigate hy¬
drophobia, read his report for the year.
Pasteur’s methods, lie said, were not at¬
tracting the same attention they did a
year or so ago, and are in a fair way to
die out. Pasteur had only treated 306
cases the previous year, be said, where
he had formerly treated 800 a month.
Pasteur’s method had no effect in de¬
creasing the mortality of those who fall
into terror over hydrophobia. Pasteur
knew nothing of hydrophobia. In the
last ye.u there bad been fifteen cases in
this country of alleged hydrophobia. He
specified several cases, one being the case
of a man who dreamed he died of hydro¬
phobia, and on awakening was taken
with convulsions through fright and
died.
‘■The fear is worse than the bite,” said
Dr. Dulles, “for not one of the animals
in the cases mentioned gave evidence
that they had the rabies. The living in
dread of death from hydrophobia i3 often
the cause of death. Too often the diag¬
nosis of the case is made by the laity and
continued t v the doctor. There is noth-
ing more senseless, more cruel, more cal¬
culated to cause death than the senseless
test of water.” Dr. Dulles spoke of the
exaggeration of forcible restraint sup¬
posed to ho accessary in hydrophobia
cases, and denounced the use of narcot¬
ics. “Hydrophobia is a misnomer, ” he
said, “and is not a specific inoculable
disease. I do not deny people fall into a
certain 6lato after being bitten by a mad
dog, but I do deny that the stato is pro¬
duced by canine virus. Fright and
other factors throw the patient into a
‘condition,’ not into a disease. Wher¬
ever there is little talk there is little
disease. Hydrophobia was unknown in
Pennsylvania this last year, and belief in
it will follow the fate of the belief in
witchcraft. ”
Dr, Shakspeare, of this city, dissented
from the opinions of Dr. Dulles, and said
he spoke only from the standpoint of a
medical antiquarian and a clinician, and
did not speak from laboratory knowl¬
edge. Dr. Shakspeare held that the
teachings of laboratory experiments were
In favor of belief in hydrophobia beyond
the power of controversy. Ho said the
work there proved the existence of rabies
as an infectious disease in the animal
kingdom, and the strong probability was
that it was infectious iD man as well as
In the lower animals, for the same symp¬
toms were observed in both. The as¬
sumption that man is an exception to the
rule that hydrophobia is infectious, he
said, was arrant nonsense.
Dr. Traill Green, who is almost 80
years old, made a strong speech, treating
hydrophobia as a myth. “This state is
not so prevalent as people believe,’’ he
said. “Mad dogs are rare, veiy rare.
In all my experience I have uever had a
case, and those I heard of and inquired
into turned out to be humbugs. I want
to see the people delivered from this
scare. It’s a wonder we live at all;
we’re so afraid of everything. People
die of the fright, and it is a doctor’s
business to keep his patients from being
scared. ”
Dr. Rainer, of Harrisburg, gave the
case of a young girl which he considered
a real case of hydrophobia. Dr. G. K.
Mills said the so called hydrophobia
symptoms could be explained in other
ways as a resultant from other diseases.
The convulsions might result from the
tearing by a sharp instrument, and would
be of the nature of lockjaw. He said;
‘‘We ought to do all we can to relieve
the public of fear.” Dr. Frank Wood¬
bury said bo considered it a settled thing
that, hydrophobia and rabies did exist,
but that they were r ue diseases. Most
people die of fright, be at.id, especially
young women.
Dr. Green said that Dr. Dulles was
doing n good work. “The fear is broad¬
cast, ” he said, “in every ono’s mind.
Even councils show their fear by passing
ordinances to muzzledogs in the summer
tinio when there are fewer cases of al¬
leged rabies than at any other time, I
don’t w ..it the people to be scared, and
I say such action is nonsense.”
Dr. Dulles concluded the debate. He
said that there was too much dictation
from the laboratory. He did not deny
that rabies may bo propagated, but said
such propagation was wholly artificial.
“I do not deny that there is such a dis¬
ease as rabies, but that disease i3 marked
by a desire for quiet, rest, repose and

the subject of this sketch was one
Pike county’s moBt honored men.
He was born in the year 1794 and
died July 28th, 1888 at the age
94 years Ho was one of tho organ
izers of tho county and built tho
first dwelling house, hotel and
house in Zebulon. He was ordinary
of tho county for 20 years,
clerk three years and after
Judge of the Inferior Court
many years, filling every
with honor to himself. He also en
gaged iu merchandizing and for
a while a public inn keeper. He
honest to a fuult and would
bis interest rather than seek legal
dress and was never known to
any one. I havo kuown him for
years end no complaint could be
feted against him either in public
private life. lie has pased
the fiery ordeal of life and over
raging billows of the rough seas
o»t a tinge or stain od his character,
in which he has left his children and
grand children a heritage richer than
all the gold of Opher—a character
which has shone 94 years on earth
with the brilliancy of a noonday sun
and is now and will shine in a youth
fal, happy felicity which is beyond
his grave.
I kcow of no other clause in
bible which is more appropriate to
his life than iB found in the 37th
Pslam and 37th verse, “Mark the
feet man and behold the upright,
the end of that man is peace,”
Rev. Dr. Bradley preached his fun
eral Sunday evening last at 5 o'clock
in the Methodist church, from the
text, “As in Adamall die so in Christ
shall all be made r’ive.”
He showed very beautifully how
ad were' made alive in the death of
Christ; that the death of this mortal
body was only the gate to endless
life. That the mortal body could
not Bprijg into a new life of exis
tence except it die, like as a the grain
ot wheat when sown after its germ,
it dies and in its death it springs up
into a new existence in application
the subject to the life of the old
Father in Isreal, that in his death
the terrostial body had put on a co
lestial body; that he was assured
that he was now ns safe in heaven as
though he had died when an infant.
Christ did not conquer death. He
abolished it; There is no death for
the chr.sfiac; his body falls into de
cay but ho does not die—“he shall
never die,” is the declaration of the
Sou of God,
Let tbi t take all sadness from our
hearts, and may children and grand
children imitate his example, and in
so far as I have seen of them they
are chips from the same old mortal.
I am proud to say that he raised as
grand a family of boys and girls, for
morals or business tiauactions, as be

men and ladies in any rank of soci

rential love I had for him for he felt
like a father and his children my
nearest kin. Reep’t,

It will be remembered by th«

a difficulty occurred on Frank Free¬

of Griffin, in which, oue Gilbert
Gains played an active pert. It is
said that he shot two parties during
the row, one of which died last Satur¬
day, and the other one is not expect
ed to live.
Our wide awake and efficient
policeman B. F. Doe succeeded in
making the arrest yesterday morn
ing in the following way: While in
his yard early yerterday morning,
he noticed some one passing and
soon discovered that it was Gilbert
Gains, and followed him from hia
home to some distance beyond Capt-
Grantland’s where he by being dis¬
guised, got near enough to grab his
game. Mr. Doe? What .
Is dat you yon
’rest me for? Wasn’t you in that
scrape out at Mr. Freeman’s on the
4th of July, Gilbert? Yee, said
Gilbert, and I don’t deny shooting
one of ’em! This he spoke in the
presence of several gentlemen alter
ward. Mr. Doe turned the prison
er over to Sheriff Connell and be is
now in jail. deserves credit for the
Mr. Doe
manner in which he made the arrest

never be taken alive.
