Cold Weather
Brings Catarrh.
tarrh Though felt the disagreeable effects of Ca¬
are all the year round, cold and
disease disagreeable weather aggravates the
and it is daring the winter sea¬
son that its severest form is felt. Each
disease, succeeding year seems to intensify the
so that it gradually fastens its
hold upon the sufferer with a grasp that
becomes firmer each season.
Catarrh often appears as only a cold at
firs'-, and is hardly noticed. But gradu¬
difficult ally the cold returns, and it is more
to cure,and stays longer than for¬
merly. taken These symptoms cannot be mis¬
disease ; they mark the first appearance of a

Washington, Nor. 18.—A canraw
which has been made of the sen tit* in¬
dicates that neither Secretary Gage’s
financial ptaq uor any other which pro¬
gold vide* instead for bo*3Sf^sayable of coin specifically in
can secure a major¬
ity of that b.Hly.
Taking as a basis the record of the
senate early in 1898 ou the bill author¬
izing the issue of coin bonds and certifi¬
cates of idebteduess and making esti¬
mates of new members, it appears that
a free coinage measure wonld pass the
present senate would by a vote of 48 to 48. •
The yeas be made np of 25
Democrats, niue Republicans, six silver
Republicans and six silver Democrats.
The nays would show 34 Republicans
and nine Democrats. The uiue Demo¬
crats who voted against free silver were
Caffary, Lindsay, Faulkner, Gorman, Gray,
Mills, Mitchell, Murphy and
Smith. Of these Faulkner, Gorman,
Mills, Mitchell and Murphy accepted
the Chicago platform. This would leava
only Caffery, Gray, Lindsay and Smith,
who, with the 34 Republicans, would
make a total of ouiy 88 senators who
are to be relied upon to vote against free
silver.
Of the 46 counted for free silver on
the basis of the vote of 1806, there were
nine Republicans, Carter, Clark, Hans-
brongii, Warren, Perkins, Pritchard, Shoup,
.Wilson and Wolcott, who voted
tor free coinage, and subsequently re¬
mained loyal to the St. Louis platform.
It is asserted that Clark, Carter, Shoup,
Warren .
and Wolcott would Vote for sil¬
ver coinage again at the first oppor¬
tunity, while Pritchard, Perkins, WU-
•ou and Hangbrongh might vote with
their party. It is asserted, however,
that all nine wonld vote against gold
bonds without hesitation, and with them
wonld be fouud Chandler of New Hamp¬
shire, and possibly one or two others.
The preliminary canvass seems to
show for gold bonds 88 Republicans and
four Demoorats. a total of 37; against
gold bonds, 30 Democrats, ten Republi¬
cans, licans, six total Populists of 52. aud six silver Repub¬
a This would be a
majority ot 15 against the foundation
stone of the plans of both Secretary
Gage and the monetary commission. It
is believed time the majority wonld be
even larger against the retirement of
the greenbacks.

Constantinople, Nov. 18 —The Rus¬

tant announcement to the Turkish gov¬

Turkey intends to apply port of the
Greek war iudemity to an increase of
the Turkish armaments, Rns»is desires
to remind Turkey that the unpaid
arrears of the Romo- Turkish war in¬
demnity amounts to £1,800,000, adding
that if tha policy of the Turkish gov¬
ernment is as indicated, Russia would
Warn the payment of this amount.
Tne Russian pronouncement bos
strongly believe impressed the diplomatic corps,
who it is direoted agaiust the
plans to reorganize the Turkish navy.
Agents of Herr Krupp and of tbs Els-
wiok works of Great Britain (the Arm
month strongs) visited Constantinople lost
with proposals for the recon

believed at the time that Emperor Wil¬
liam of Germany had appealed to the
■nitan in favor of Herr Krnpp’e pro¬
posals, bat (her* was said to be a strong
feeling at the Turkish capital in favor
of the British propositions.
Later it was announced that the
Turkish government had opened a
credit of £100,000 in London to defray
the expenses of engaging skilled work¬
men as overseers in the contemplated

A Griffin Man Whose Testimony Promise*
t« f»e Had for the gntpeeled Stayer
ot Policeman Ponder.
mmgmsrnm • .
Col. W. Dan CarlijH, of this place,
has received a subpenaa to appear
before the Fulton county grand jary
gard to the murder of Policeman
Ponder. Mr. Carbart lias said very
little about the matter, bat what he
has said is of great interest and his
testimony will go far to fasten guilt
upon Walter O’Quinn.
Mr. Oarhart was m Atlanta on the
day of the killing and jnst at that
hour waa entering Simon ’a saloon,
next door to where the deed was
done. He saw O’^uinn come in Jnat
after the shooting and change hi*
coat for his white bar coat and go
behind the bar. Somebody asked
O'Quinn what the shooting waa
about, nnd he said he didn’t
know anything about any shooting
—hadn’t beard it. As be claimed to
be behind the bar at the time of the
shooting, this will pretty effectively
demolish such an alibi, and fit* in
exactly with the strong
evidence against him.
A Fast Train.
The Central ot Georgia Railway
is arranging to put a very fast
schedule into operation between At¬
lanta and Macon.
The exact figures for departure
and arrival have not, as yet, been
made irablic, but it is reported that
the time between Atlanta and Ma¬
con will only be two hours. The
distance being 103 miles, this wilt
make a sohedule of 60 miles per
hour. Considering the loss of time
in stops, this train will make the
fastest schedule ever operated in the
South, even exceeding the schedule
of the famous Nancy Hanks train.
The track is now being pat in
shape for the fast train. Extra
heavy that portion steel of rail the is track being which laid overjf has
heretofore had light rails. When
this work is completed, the new
