THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 18, 1898.
A School Girl’s Nerves.
From the **Afew Era," Gremtburg, lnd.
Mother* who hare young daughters of
«hool age should watch their health more
ruefully than their studies. The proper
development of their body is of the first im-
| M >rtauce. Alter the confinement of the
pchool room, pleuty of out-of-door exercise
should be taken. It is better that their
rhildren never learn their h, b, c’a, than that
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this is self-evident. Everyone
admits it—everyone knows it, but everyone
does uot know how to build them up when
once they are broken down. The following
method of one mother, if rightly applied,
iuay save your daughter: ,
The young lady was Miss Lucy Barnes,
the fifteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and
lira. Stephen Larues, who lives near Bur
ney. lnd.' 'She in a bright young lady, is
fond of hooks, although her progress in this
line has been considerably retarded by the
considerable amount of sickness she bos ex
perienced. She has missed two years of
school on account of her bad health, hut now
■hr will lie able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.
Her father was talking of her ease to a
newspaper man -one day recently. “My
daughter has had u very serious time of it,
■aid Mr. Barnes, “but now we are all happy
to know that she is getting along all right
and is stronger than ever.” Asked to relate
the story of his daughter, Mr. Barnes con
tinued: “About three years ago, when she
was twelve years old, she began to grow
weak and nervous. It was. of course, a deli
cate age for her. She gradually grew weaker
and her nerves were at sueli a tension that
the least little noLe would irritate her very
much, and she was very miserable. There
was a continual twitching in the arms and
lower limbs, and we were afraid that she
was going to develop St. Vitus’ dance.
4“ She kept getting worse and finally we
had to take her from her school and her
•todies. She was strong and healthy before,
weighing eighty-five j*ounds, and in three 1 cine
months she had dwindled to lixty-threa
pounds. She was thin and pale, uud was
almost liftdesa. We did everything we could'
for her, and tried all the doctors who we
thought could do her any good, but without
result.
“There was an old family friend near
Milford who had a daughter afflicted the
same 'way, and she was cured by Dr. Wil
liams* I’ink Pills for Pale People. They
came here one day to spend Sunday, ana
they told uc about their daughter's case. It
was very much like Lucy’s, and they advised
us to try Ilr. Williunis’Pink Pills for her.
We had uo faith in them, but were finally
persuaded to try the pills. We have never
been sorry for it. They helped her at once,
and by the time she hud taken eight boxes
of the mediciue she was entirely cured.
She took the lust dose in April, and has not
been bothered since. She is now stronger
than ever, weighs ten pounds more than ever
before, and her cheeks are full of color.
She can now gratify her ambition to study
and become an educated woman.”
Those who ore in a position to know, state
that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
is not a patent medh ine but a prescription
used for many years by auemineni practitioner
who produced the most wonderful results with
them, curing all forms of weakness arising
from a watery condition of the blood or
shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of al
most every ill to which flesh is heir. The
pills are also a specific for the troubles
peculiar to females, such as suppressions,
all forms of weakness, chronic constipation,
bearing down pains. etc. { and in the case of
men will give speedy relief and effect a per
manent cure in all cost's arising from mental
worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever
nature. They are entirely harmless and can
be given to weak mid sickly children with
the greatest good and without the slightest
danger. Dr. Williams* Pink Pills are sold
by ill dealers, or will be sent post paid on
receij t of price, 50 e«-nts a box or six boxes
for $2.50 (they are m
the 100), by address?
Dr. Williams’ Met
SA
CAMPAIGN MAY BE LIVELY.
Judge Allen Fort, of Americus, was
in tlie city last Thursday in attendance
njiou court of chambers before Judge
Smith. While Jndge Fort came here
purely on business matters, ho had a
word or two to say about politics, and
made no attempt to conceal the fact
that he would like to represent the
third district in congress and from the
way he talked he will very likely be in
the race again. In fact, lie said that
everything then pointed to his candi-
dacy though he had not fully made np
his mind in the matter. Judge Fort
has some strong friends over this way
and if he does become a candidate they
van be counted upon to look faithfully
after his interests.
While he has as yet made no public
announcement to that effect, it is un
derstood that our present representa
tive, Hon E. B. Lewis, will stand for
re-election, and at no fault has been
found of bis administration bis friends
think ha is entitled to succeed himself
in accordance with tho usual custom,
and will therefore give him their
warmest support,.
Col. T. C. Taylor, of Hawkinsville,
is already actively in the race and says
he has met with flattering encourage
ment from friends sverywhere bo has
boon. Hon. C. G. Gray, a well known
and popnlar gentlemen of Houston, is
also mentioned as a probable candidate
and it is said will have a strong follow-
if he decides to enter the Sold.
From the present outlook the con
gressional campaign in the old third is
going to bo a lively one. — Hawkinsville
Dispatch.
While Hon. E. B. Lewis, oar pres
ent Congressman, has not announced
his candidacy for re-eleotion, it is gen
erally understood that he will be and
we think the voters of the district for
the present ought to let well enough
alone. If he comes ont for re-election
the New Era is for him, tooth and toe
nail, and we believe be will be elected
by an overwhelming majority. Mr.
Lewis has made a very able and faith
ful representative and the interests of
his constituents are being faithfully
guarded. He is a true man, and old
Wileox, in line with a majority of the
other oounties in the district, will rally
to his support. —Rochelle New Era.
THE WAY TO PROSPERITY.
A few days ago we published a le’ter
from Latham, Alexander A Co., cotton
commission merchants of New York, in
which it was made clear that a cotton
crop that does not come qnite np to the
world’s demand brings much more prof,
it to the cotton growers than acropthat
is considerably beyond tho world’s
wants. While it is true that the con
sumption of cotton is greater when the
price of it is low than when it is high,
still, when the price falls below the
profit line, the growers have nothing
to spend, and all kinds of industries
which depend upon thorn, partly or
wholly, for support, puffer. It is mneh
better for all concerned, therefore, that
the cotton growers sbonid receive a
fair price for their cotton. Bnt, in or
der to get a living price, they must not
overburden the cotton market.
In 1898-94 a crop of 7,549,81? bales
sold for $993,982,899, whils the large
crop of 1894-95 amonnting to 9,901,351
bales, brongbt only $288,918,694, more
than $4,000,000 less. Similar illustra
tions could be easily given of the fo\ly
of producing more tlmn'Vau be sold at
a price which yields a profit.
Why ia it that cotton growers will give
so muoh attention to cotton and so lit
tle to other crops, such as wheat, oats,
hay, frnits and varions kinds of veg
etables which they need for their fami
lies is a question that is difficult to an
swer. They pay high prices at the coun
try stores for urticles of food which
they could produce at home at a great
deal less cost. If they would reduce
tho cotton acreage one-tbird and give
some attention to food crops, frnits,
dairy prodnets, bogs, poultry, etc.,
they would get from 8 cents to 10 cents
poand for their cotton instead of five,
and they would have to bny very little
for the support of their families and
stock, and hence, wonld be on the way
to prosiierity. It seems, however, as
if they were determined not to accept
advice, bnt to find out the way to pros
perity by bitter experience. - Savannah

CANDLER’S LETTER.
The Times-Recohder gives publi
cation to Col. Candler's letter which
the opposition are trying to make great
political capital out of. The letter was
a private one, not iutended for publi
cation, bnt which lias beon published
without Col. Candler’s consent, and
coupled with other expressions at
which “tho men .'.who control,” or
somebody else seems to be quite ex
cited. Col. Candler^admits. tbe au
thorship of the letter, and says he
stands by every sentiment in it He
says it was given no”personal applica
tion by him, bnt if the cap fits any
body who desires to put it on, he is
ready to accept the responsibility and
defend any statement he has made.
There is really nothing in the letter to
become excited over, yet there will be
a host who will use it against Geor-

Testify Against Carter.
OTIS CAN’T DRAW HIM OUT
The Judge Advocate Delivers Very
Impassioned Address to the (hruri
Upon tile Subject of the Itefusal ot
the Witness to “Tell the Whole
Truth”—Harr’s Blood Bolls.
Savannah, Feb. 11. — The trial by
oourtmartial of Captain O. M. Carter
opened with a rush this morning. Jndga
Advocate Barr made an impassioned and
heated address to the court upon the
subject of the refusal of Captain Jacob
Paulsen yesterday to give ont private in
formation relative to the affairs of the
propeller of tho Towboat oompuny of
which be is president.
The judge advocate said that tho press
of the country had doubtless published
under startling headlines,, yesterday
and. today, tho statement that witnessed
. , , ..... „ „ „ . could not be made to testify in this case,
gia 8 favorite, Allen D. Candlor, in yj 0 deoiareKl that this was a court of ins-
order to farther their own political
preferment. The Timed-Recorder un
hesitatingly characterizes the publi
cation of Mr. Candler’s letter as ja
malicious, unprofessional act. There
is no power under God’s Bnu that coaid
have induced The Times-Recorder to
have employed such underhand and
unprofessional methods, even thongh
it were to get even with a bitter ene
my. Barely the tide of professional
ethics is ebbing .low in the^river that
flowB by Rome.
The letter, as printed in the.Tribune
of Rome, is as follows
Without any solicitation on my
part I find myself a candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor of
Georgia. The men who are behind
the movement are not the professional
politicians, ’the men who control, ’ but
tho rank and file of our party, the
gTeat middle class who pay the taxes
and bear the burdens of government
I have never seen such an uprising of
tho common people in my life. It is a
rebellion against the men and their
methods who ravished the democratic
party in 1894 and havo dominated it
ever since, the mou who by methods
pecnliar to themselves deprived Gen.
Evans of the nomination after ho had
fairly won it. I was against them aud
their methods then nnd they are
against me now. I therefore feel at
liberty to call on,those who stood with
me by Gen. Evans in that contest to
stand .by mo now. We fonght them ia
the same phalanx for pare democraoy
and clean methods with Gen. EvanB
as onr leader. Now that the same flag
has been put into my hand and I am
battling as he did for the same princi
ples, I invoke that support for myself
that we all gave the general at that
time. Then by political trickory we
lost; now by united action aud honest
methods we will win. We are right
and the people are with ns. Many
who were with the tricksters aud trad
ers then, disgusted with their methods,
are with us now. Let ns therofore be
vigilant and active, and we will in Oc
tober bnry them and their nefarious
methods so deep that the baud of res
urrectiou will uever reach them.
‘Sincerely yonrs,
“A. D. Candler.”
LETTERS.
Never write a letter and never barn
one!" Thus did Talleyrand formulate
the wisdom be had gathered from his
own experience and observation. In
doing so he summed np the teachings
of ten thousand years. His sentence
ought to bang over every diplomat's
desk and in every diplomat'a bed
chamber.—New York World.
Candidates for governor also might
take warning and let up on letters.
ANOTHER DRY O00DS HOUSE

because the tariff taxea them. There
might be some startling consequence*

An exchange Bays: “Hanna is the
engineer of the republican party. ’’ He
certainly haa hi* hand on ita throttle.

scare Candler off the track they don't
know their man.

witnesses wonld thwart justice. He said
that the witness had sworn in the pres

Mr. Paulsen was called to tho stand
again and remained there an hour. He
persistently refused to answer the qnor-

Brigadier General Otis, president of the
court, was forced to remind the witness
of his oath again.
“If tho witness does not answer tho
questions,” ho said, “ho will ho in eon
tempt. Bnt unfortunately wo have no
authority to punish for contempt.”
Mr. Paulsen replied to many questions
with tho answer, “I don’t remember.”
He has proven thp court's most Interest

duce the books of his company to ftljow

stock ho owns in it, nnd the court ad
journed to allow him to go for his books.

ELECTION TO 'BE EXCITING.
State Senators Chosen Will Vote For
Morgan's Successor,
Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 11.—Half of
the mombers of tbo senate of Alabama
arc eleefed in each state election. Rep
resentatives are elected for two years,
senators for fonr, and hence the fact
that only one-half of the members of the
upper honso ore elected in each election.
The senatorial contests in tbo state are
attended this year with more interest
than for some time past.
Tho senntors elected will have a veto
for the successor to United States Sena
tor Morgan, whose term expires hi 1900.
Senator Morgan is advuncod in yours,
and his health is somewhat failing. Two
distinguished Alabamians are known to
havo an eye each on his seat. Governor
Johnston has never so stated, but he is
known to aspire to senatorial honors,
nnd Congressman Bankhead has already
said that ho expected to be a candidate.
The friends of tnese two gentlemen
arc therefore watching the senatorial
contests in the state with lively interest.
ACCUSED OF AN ASSAULT.

McRPtrr, N. O., Feb. 11.—Arthur Mc
Dowell nnd Leander Hartness y.erc
brongbt here and lodged in jail list
night, having been bound over to court
upon the chargo of rape.
The charge is that on Saturday even
ing these men met a Mr. Bush aud his
wifo, and one held tho husband while
tho otbor assaulted the woman, the ac
cused being armed.
After perpetrating the crime these
men took from Bush his boots aud trous
ers and departed.
Bash and his wife ore both over 60
years of age. Public sentiment is very
pronounced against the accused.
May Be Governor McMIllln.
Nashville, Feb. 11.—Efforts are be
ing made to induce Congressman Ben
ton McMillin to enter the race for gov
ernor, bnt be has as yet given no indica
tion of his intention. He mid tonight
that he would decide the matter before
returning to Washington, which will bo
as soon as Mrs. McMllhn is well enough
to travel. In the meantime Hon. J. M.
Head, national committeeman for Ten
nessee, is awaiting Mr. MeMillin’s deci
sion and will enter the race unless Mr.
McMillin decides to ran.
Called Out and Killed.
Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 11.—A spe
cial from Solligcnt, Lamar county, says:
An atrocious crime was committed here
bat night. Marion Bankhead went to
the dwelling of Douglass WeUs, called
him fw>m the midst of hb family to his
doorway and without ado cut hb throat
