chist plan, directed from Chicago by

dent Taft and President Diaz at El

covered by secret service men here.
The Journal story proceeds:
‘•Chief Wilkie, of the secret service
bureau, has assigned many detectives

men selected to kill the two presi
dents.
Plans Made in Chicago.
“For the past two weeks, it was
learned today, meetings have been
held by the anarchist groups in every
large city of the country, but the as-
plans, according to the
government agents, were completed
in this city.

PECULIAR APPEALS
TO THE GOVERNOR
“Gentleman of Celst" at Ocilla Writes
His Distress—Other Queer Cases.
Atlanta, Oct. 14. No one who is
not closely associated with the gover
nor’s office can imagine the variety
and the nature of the appeals that
reach him from day to day. There
have been coming to the governor
nearly every day this week letters
from a man who signs himself ,“a
gentleman of color”, in Ocilla, Ga.,
and who, according to his story, is in
serious distress.
The first letter was a call to the gov
ernor to send his “honorable prison
commission down there to rescue the
writer,” He was in “turrible
trouble,” he said, “accused of garni ng
of which he is entirely innocent.”
A second epistle followed, urging
that the prison commission come
down at once. Then today followed
a letter which urged the immediate
sending of the troops, as the writer
had been indicted for gaming and was
in immediate danger. The name
signed to all the communications was
J. F. Frazzer, who described himself
as a gentleman of color, living at
Ocilla, Irwin county, Ga.
THEATRICAL
T
The College Singing Girls.
Os the College Singing Girls, who
come to the Bijou next Monday night,
the Augusta Herald says:
“From ‘Havana* to ‘Lucia’ is is very
long distance and when a few coon
and Indian songs are thrown in lor
good measure, it is safe to say that the
program will be one of a varied char
acter; but in the hands of the college
singing girls Friday night in the flret
attraction of lyceum such a pro
gram brought forth the undivided ap
plause of the large audience present.
In the selection of the College Hinging
Girls, an octette of as handsome young
women as have ever been on the An
gusta stage, who could sing and play
and act as if they were professionals,
the Jyceum made a most creditable be
ginning for the season of 1900-10.
“Assisting the young ladies was Wal
ter Eccles, a very clever monologueist,
who was possessed of a voice with
many attractive qualities. Through
out the entertainment every one of the
numbers was given with a sftgn which
is seldom seen in a non-professional
production and the performers were
called upon again and again for en
cores.
‘‘Taken as a whole, the entire pro
duction was one of the’most creditable
of its kind that has ever been seen in
Augusta."
Both Boys Saved.
Louis Boon, a leading merchant of
Norway, Mich., writes: “Three bottles
of Foley’s Honey and Tar almolutely
cured my lx>y of a severe cough, and a
neighbor’s tx>y who was so ill with a
cold that the doctors gave him up, was
cured by taking Foley's Honey and
Tar.” Nothing else is as safe and cer
tain in results. Thos. J. Brooks.

Recommend.
We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation,
no matter howehronlc it may be, that
we offer to furnish the medicine at our
expense should it fail to produce aatis
tactory results.
It is Worse than useless to attempt to
cure constipation with cathartic drugs.
Laxatives or cathartics do much harm.
They cause a reaction, irritate and
weaken the bowels and tend to make
constipation more chronic. Besides,
their use becomes a habit that is dan
gerous.
Constipation is causer! by * weakness
of the nerves and muscles ol the large
intestine or descending colon. To ex
pect permanent relief you must there
fore tone up and strengthen these or
gans and restore them to nealthicr
activity.
The discovery of the active principle
of our remedy involved the labor of the
world’s greatest research chemists. As
an active agent it possesses the valuable
qualities of the best known intestinal
tonics as well as being particularly
pleasant and prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our recommendation. They are ex
ceedingly pleasant to take, being eaten
like candy, and are ideal for children,
delicate persons and old folks, as well
as for the robust. They act directly
on the nerves and muscles of the
bowels. They apparently have a neu
tral action on other associate organs or
glands. They do not purge, cause ex
cessive looseness nor create any incon
venience whatever. They may be
taken at any time,day or night. They
will positively relieve chronic or habit
ual constipation, if not or surgical
variety, and the myriads of associate
or dependent chronic ailments, if taken
with regularity for a reasonable length
of time. They come in two sizes of
packages, 12 tablets, 10 cents; 86 tab
lets, 25 cents. Hold in Griffin only at
our store—the Rexall Store. Thos. J.

much trouble the operators encounter
in the effort to make the service satj
Isfactory. Hometimes people grow
impatient, and sometimes men utter
words that are not gentlemanly.
An instance of the latter kind came
up a ifew days since In Hartford,
Conn., and the New Orleans
States, commenting on it, says:
“The other day Andrew Jackson
Dubois, of Hartford, was in a very
great hurry to get in telephone com
munication with an amusement com
pany in New York, but the wire was
in use al the time, and Miss Hattie
Derltz, the fair operator of the switch
board, so Informed him and politely
requested that he bide a time In pa
tience. This irritated Dubois. The
blood of the ancient Gauls Itegaii to
boil, and as a result he called Miss
Hattie a “Dutch Mutt."
“To be called a thing of that kind
—whatever it is—caused Hattie’s
cup of bitterness to flow over and
also brought her dander up to the
fighting point. She sought the mills
of the law in order to grind the nec
essary amount of satisfaction out of
the ungallant Dulxjis and got two
dollar’s worth, which was the amount
of the fine that the magistrate im
posed. While it is true that Dubois
admitted that in his anger and ex
citement he had called Miss Hattie a
Dutch 11 utt, and ajsilpgized pro

inadequate to the offense he commit
ted.
