i your time is worth much
to your estate. If you
are a poor man, your time is worth much more to your family. The rich
man might better afford to suffer a loss of §IOO.OO a day, as a result from en
forced absence from business than the poor man can lose the value of his labor.
Both men—rich or poor—are stupid to lose 10 days when 24 to 48 hours is
the limit of time required to put them iu good condition by Johnson’s Chill and
Fever Tonic.
I always feel sorry for the family that is wedded to the plan of subjecting
themselves to the Quinine treatment.
The process is slow. Ihe result uncertain. The treatment disappointing.
Johnsons Tonic lias two cardinal points that should immediately commend
it to every thinking man in tics country.
T irst of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir
cumstances.
Second, it is quick; it acts at once. In 30 minutes after its administration,
it enters the blood an i begins to undo the mischief caused by Malaria.
It has a wonderful record of 1T years of success. 900 cases out of every
1000 are promptly cured, and the > case can he easily cured by doubling
the dose and taking it a little oftener.
Johnson’s Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise. It
is superb No remedy in the who! domain of Materia Medica is more positive
in its action and uufailiug in its results.
It will cure. It will cure every time. It will cure every case of Fever. It
will cure any type of fever.
It is the one great medicine that seldom disap]joints.
Don’t trifle with Fever. If allowed to run, it is like a house allowed to
burn—it will consume you. Use Johnson’s Tonic. Use nothing else.
Now, take your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe weeks, and poison
your digestion with Quinine, and arise finally with all the life and vim taken
out of you, or use Johnson’s Tonic and he restored at once to perfect health*
No loss of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious time. Take you*
choice.

FRANCE’S PATIENCE
ABOUT EXHAUSTED
Fleet of Battleships Sails For
Turkish Waters.
GO UNDER SEALED ORDERS
This Decisive Movement Evidently
Means That France Will Enforce an
Immediate Payment of the Claims
Demanded of Turkey.
Paris, Oct. 81.—The officials of the
French office confirm the report that a
division of the Frenoh Mediterranean
fleet, composed of three battleships and
two cruisers, under the command of
Admiral Caillard. has nroceeded from
GERMANY’S L’QUOR BILL.
Seven Hundred and Fifty Million Dol
lars Spent Yearly.
New York, Oct. 31. — A dispatch tc
the London Times and the New York
Times from Berlin says the society for
combating the abuse of spiritous liquors
has begun a conference at Breslau.
Baron Von Diergardt said at the con
ference that he believed that alcohol
would one day be universally regarded
as an enemy to civilization, but at pres
ent it was only possible to recommend
moderation in its use. Seven hundred
and fifty million of dollars was yearly
spent in Germany on intoxicating
liquors. It was estimated that tne aver
age German consumed the equivalent of
five glasses of spirits a day.
Baron Von Diergardt added that one
difficulty m the campaign was that the
state itself was interested in alcohol, de
riving, as it did, a revenue of $40,000,-
000 from spirits aud $25,000,000 from
beer. One-third of the German experts
to Togolaud and one-seventh of those to
East Africa consisted of alcohol.
PURE FOOD LAW.
One of the Strictest In United States
For New Jersey.
New York, Oct. 31. — What is said to
be the strictest pure food law iu the
United States will go into effect iu New
Jersey tomorrow. Its enforcement has
been entrusted to the New Jersey state
board of health. Under it the place of
state dairy commissioner is abolished
and his duties will become part of that
of chief food inspector. There will be
a large number of deputies scattered all
over the state.
Everything that can come into use for
human consumption as food or drink is
included under the law. The inspection
will even take in canned goods. It does
not matter whether these or anything
is manufactured or put outside the state
or in it, they are liable to under the ban
of the law if the analysis made at the
time show them to be unfit for human
food.
Toulon to The Levant, to make a naval
demonstration against Turkey.
A foreign office official, in communi
cating the foregoing to the correspond
ent here of the Associated Press, said:
“The squadron sailed with sealed or
ders and proceeds first to a Greek point,
the Island of Syria, I think, where the
admiral will receive definite instruc
tions as to carrying out his sealed or
ders. I am not at liberty to say
what the sealed orders are, but
the seizure of the customs at Smyr
na would probably be a very ef
fective way of convincing the sultan
that France’s patience is exhausted, and
that we may have decided to enforce an
immediate execution of the Turkish
government’s engagements. We, how
ever, are very hopeful that the sultan
will not compel us to go to that ex
treme.
Three Days’ Grace.
“Our squadron will not reach the
Greek port before Sunday. The Turk
ish government has still three days’
grace and we trust in the meantime to
reoeive complete satisfaction. We have
acted very considerately toward Tur
key, hoping, up to the last moment, that
she would carry out her engagement
and it is only now, when we find that
there is no serious indication of her do
ing so, that we have reluctantly con
cluded to place strong pressure on her in
the shape of a naval demonstration.
“It is now two months since the
Frenoh ambassador, M. Gonstans, left
Constantinople. His departure failed
to produce the desired effect. On the
contrary, even the quays and Tubini
questions which were settled by the sul
tan’s irades remain unsatisfied.
May Bombard Port.
“The ’Eternal situation in the Turk
ish em; e deterred us for some time
from taxing drastic measures to enforce
our demands. But the dignity of France
could not permit the present state of
affairs to be prolonged indefinitely. We
sincerely hope the sultan will fully ap
preciate the fact that we cannot auy
longer be trifled with and relieve us of
taking further steps to safeguard our
interests.”
The official was asked what would
happen in the event of the French
squadron being ordered to seize the cus
toms aud if the Turkish authorities re
sisted, aud he replied:
“That is a very unlikely contingency,
but if it ooours I suppose we shall have
to bombard the port. We do not want
bloodshed, and I do not believe there
will be any occasion for it.”
WANTED THEIR PAY.
Mutinous Demonstration by Turkish
Officers and Bashl-Bazouks.
Constantinople, Oct. 31. A mu
tinous demonstration was made in front
of the admiralty offices Tuesday by 600
officers and non-commissioned bashi
bazooks, which caused dismay among
the occupants of the Yildix palace. The
pay of those who took part in the de
monstration is several months in ar
rears, and only a promise of prompt set
tlement prevented the _ Sng out of
their threats of further action.
The pay of All the troops, with the ex
ception of the marines, is paid with
fair regularity, because they furnish
the guard at the weekly Selamlik, and
discontent among them might result in
serious consequences to Sultan Abdal
Hamid.

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,

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 coldi 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.

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

MOB VENGEANCE ON
A KENTUCKY DARKEY
Strung Up and Riddled With
Bullets.
MADE CRIMINAL OF BOY
Determined Citizens of Hogeuville
Storm County Jail, and Dragging Si
las Ksters From His Cell Into the
Street Slake Short Work of Him.
Hogenville, Ky., Oct. 31.— A mob of
60 or 70 determined citizens came down
upon this little town about 2 o’clock
this morning and took from the jail
Silas Esters, a negro charged with forc
ing Granville Ward, a 10-year oid boy
of near Upton, to commit a crime, and
strung him to the courthouse steps.
So quietly and systematically did the
mob go about its work that the citizens
of the town wer6 in ignorance of the
existence of a mob until the negro was
in its clutches. The citizens composing
the lynching party approached the jail,
and upor their demand the keys were
surrendered to them.
Iu the cell where the negro was con
fined a noose was adjusted about his
neck. He was dragged down the jail
stairs and out into the street. He man
aged to slip the noose from his neck and
made a break for liberty. The mob,
crazed with anger, made after the ne
gro, howling and firing at him with
guns and pistols. The negro fell when
about 100 yards from the jail house, rid
dled with bullets.
The noose was again placed about hia
neck, and he was dragged to tlie court
house and swung to the topmost steps.
The mob was formed in the neighbor
hood of the crime. When the work of
lynching had been accomplished the
members of the mob quietly dispersed
and went to their homes.
WILL RESIST REPAYMENT.
Forte Repudiates All Responsibility
For Kidnaping of Miss Stone.
Constantinople, Oct. 31.—The Turk
ish government is already preparing to
resist the anticipated demand of the
United States for repayment of the ran
som necessary to -secure the release of
Miss Ellen M. Stone, the abducted
American missionary. The porte repu
diates all responsibility for the kidnap
ing of Miss Stone aud maintains that
the United States has no claim against
Turkey and that, therefore, the latter is
justified in refusing to recoup the
United States for the money for her
rescue.
A high Turkish official this morning
informed a representative of the Asso
ciated Press that the Turkish resistance
of any claims would be based upon the
contentions:
First, that Miss Stone, although be
ing warned of the dangers of the road,
persisted in traveling.
Second, that she did not notify the au
thorities of her intention in order to ob
tain an escort, which precaution even the
foreign consuls take when traveling in
such outlying, insecure districts of the
empire, and,
Third, that the brigands who kid
naped Miss Stone and her companion
were Bulgarians, that the coup was
planned iu Bulgaria and that sanctuary
was found in Bulgarian territory.
Reception For Miss Stone.
New York, Oct. 31. —Americans are
preparing a reception for Miss Stone
upon her release, says the Sofia corre
spondent of The Journal and Adver
tiser. The Russian minister, M. Bakh
metieff, expects a letter soon from Miss
Stone aud the brigands through the en
voy sent last Friday. It is believed that
Miss Stone will be able to be present at
Philippopolis on Nov. 8 at the dedica
tion of the new American church there.
Whitmy Sells Fine Racers.
Newmarket, England, Oct. 31.—The
first important step toward the breaking
up of William C. Whitney’s racing es
tablishment at Heath house was the
sale of ten of Mr. Whitney’s racers.
The Mount Vernon filly fetched the best
price, 3,200 guineas. Watershed, the
winner of yesterday’s Cambridgeshire
stakes, for which Mr. Whitney paid 200
guineas when Mr. Haggin, the Califor
nian, sold a batch of yearlings here,
brought 2,600 guineas. Holstein was
sold for 2,200 guineas, Conva Moore
for 910 guineas, the Shibboleth filly for
500 guineas, deLacy for 480 guineas and
Lukeward for 480 guineas.

Life
Somewhere in the world life is at
stake every minute of the day. Right
at our own doors, perhaps, is going on a
struggle as grim and fierce as any fight
or flight on record. You hear the hol
low tearing cough ; see the ooze of blood
which tells of the wounded lungs ; mark
the emaciated body and hectic cheek,
and know a life is at stake.
The use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery has saved many a life in
just such a crisis. It cures obstinate,
deep-seated coughs, stops the hemor
rhage, strengthens "weak” lungs, and
restores the emaciated body to its nor
mal weight and strength.
There is no alcohol in the "Discov
ery,” and it is absolutely free from
opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics.
”1 desire to send you this brief, unsolicited
testimonial,” writes Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman,
Baritnn Springs, Iredell Co., N. C. ”In 1898 one
of my daughters was suffering on account of a
severe cough, hectic fever, wasting of flesh and
other symptoms of diseased lungs. I promptly
gave her Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
with gratifying success, aud she now enjoys
excellent health. This experience caused me
to recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines to my
neighbors, who, without exception, used them
with favorable results.”

WILL WELCOME CONVENTION
Alabama Is Now Interested In Good
Hoads Movement,
Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 31.—The im
portance of the good roads convention,
scheduled for Montgomery Dec. 2 to 7,
inclusive, is all the greater because pub
lic road building is somewhat at a,
standstill in this section of the state.
Montgomery not only has her money
tied up in a bank, but County Engineer
Garrett not long ago in an official com
munication pronounced the system on
which the county has spent several hun
dred thousand dollars to be a failure.
The macadam does not last, and the re
pairing is too expensive. It gave pros
pective building in some other counties
a backset.
It is hoped here that the traveling ag
gregation of experts can give some point
ers that will remedy the economic diffi
culty. The oounty board of revenue
appropriated S3OO for the convention,
and every effort will be made to have a
big convention with all the counties in
this section represented.
SMALL FARMS IN ALABAMA.

a Genua l farmer of Bremen, 0., for
nearly 5,000 acres of choice land, mostly
woodland, at an average price of $3.
The land is situated in Morgan and
Calhoun counties and is to be divided
into small farms of 40 acres. The farms
will be settled by a number of Ger

HIGH SEAS; FIERCE GALfc.
English Channel Swept by a Disas
trous Storm.
Dover, Oct. 31.—A fierce easterly gale
has been blowing today over the whole
channel, seriously interfering with all
shipping. The channel steamers were
obliged to abandon attempts to enter
the port of Folkestone, which was not
approachable, owing to the tremendous
seas which were running.
A number of minor wrecks have been
reported and several vessels have sunk
at their moorings. The wind gauge
registered 60 miles an hour. The tide
is rising and vessels of all kinds are
seeking shelter from the storm. Great
numbers of carcasses of animals are
washing ashore in the vicinity of Deal,
indicating that the shipping disaster has
occurred near there.
Ophir In the Gale.
London, Oct. 81.—The royal yacht
Ophir, with the Duke and Duchess of
Cornwall and York on board, and the
escorting warships, encountered the full
force of the severe easterly gale blowing
today over the channel and they were
obliged to abandon their intention to
put into Portland Roads, which was a
great disappointment to the crowds lin
ing the coast. The flotilla proceeded up
the channel.
Outlaw Was Caught Napping.
Raleigh, Oct. 31.—John R. Ware,
for whose capture Governor Aycock
offered a reward, was taken in Rocking
ham in a sensational way. He shot
down his aged father last spring and
also dangerously wounded a negro who
was with his father. For months he
had been in hiding. He appeared at the
house of a railway sectionmaster, who
recognized him, and asked for shelter.
He was heavily armed. That night
while he was asleep the sect’camaster
tied him and turned him over to the
sheriff.

The situation is critical. The emplovers
are strongly inclined to resort to a gen

LAST OF SCHLEY’S
WITNESSES GALLED
Mr. Raynor Announces Their
Case Closed.
CAPT. BORDEN ON STAND
As au Officer of Brooklyn He Was a
Witness of Battle and Corroborated
Largely Evidence Heretofore Given
by Others on That Ship.
Washington, Oct. 31. When the
Schley court of inquiry opened today
Captain T. S. Borden was called as the
first witness of the day, and as the last
witness who was to testify In Admiral
Schley’s behalf. It had been expected
that Admiral Barker would be called,
but it has latterly been decided that his
testimony, if given, wonld not be ma
terial, and it is not now expected that
he will testify.
Captain Borden is an officer in the
marine corps and served on she Brook
lyn during the Cuban campaign. His
testimony was therefore largely corrob
orative of the evidenoe which has here
tofore been given by others who were
on the Brooklyn.
The renfainder of the day, it was ex
pected, would be taken up with the
hearing of witnesses called by the navy
department for the purpose of impeach
ing certain parts of the testimony given
in support of Admiral Schley.
As to Schley’* Corrections.
Admiral Schley‘will probably not re
turn to the witness stand for the correc
tion of his testimony for two or three
days.
Captain Borden said he had been ju
nior marine officer on the Brooklyn and
he stated that the distance of the block
ading line from t l * entrance to the har
bor at Santiago /as not to exoeed
miles. He said he had seen picket boats
at night during Commodore Schley’s
command there. The vessels had steamed
about miles back and forth at night.
Speaking of the events of the battle
of July 3, he said the lowest range giv
en was 1.100 yards and that this was
given just before the tnrn, while the
maximum range was 8,500 yards. He
could clearly observe the Brooklyn’s
loop and speaking of this he said:
“In the course of the turn I fired guns
on either side, starboard and port,
smoke was very thick at that time and
daring the turn I saw no vessels at all,
although I had a plain view oat of the
stern ports. I judge I could see about
500 yards distinctly.”
In reply to questions from Mr. Ray
nor he said he had seen Commodore
Schley three times during the battle,
and that his bearing was “everything
that the officers and crew oonld have
expected.”
Most Vivid Part of Battle.
The witness then related other inci
dents of the battle, saying:
“The most vivid part of tike battle in
my recollection occurred just after the
Brooklyn had made her tnrn. I had re
lieved the gun captain in charge of the
starboard 6- pounder gun and fired in
side of 3 minutes by a slight change in
train.
“At that time I could see no other
American ship. ”
The fact was brought out that during
the battle he was in charge of guns in
the stem of the ship and had not been
able to see ahead.
Captain Bordon was then exonsed.
and as he left the stand Mr. Raynor
said he would have no more witnesses
to oall, and announced that they had
dosed their case.
GERMAN PAPERS IRRITATED.
Letters of General Veyron to Von Wal«
dersee Cause Comment.
New York, Oct. 81.—The Berlin cor
respondent of the London Times and
the New York Times says the German
newspapers find it impossible to conoeal
their irritation over the publication of
the letters which General Veyron, who
commanded the French troops in China,
sent to Field Marshal Count Von Wal
dersee.
The Cologne Gazette, referring to
General Veyron’s allusion to the claim
of France to champion, throughout
China, the cause of the Catholic estab
lishments, says the German missions
will be protected by Germany. France’s
exclusive right “cannot be practically
exercised. ”
Cabinet Crisis Expected.
Willemstadt, Island of Onracoa,
Oct. 31. —Advices reoeived here today
from Caracas say that a cabinet orisis is
