THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER, FRIDAY OCTOBER 11, 1901.
i GOOD
‘COLD TE1” STORY.
-rohibition laws of tliis state,
( ,|1 other states, are constantly
8- ' ‘
ami they are violated as mnch
, . . ailed prohibitionists as by the
’, . mind tigers abound in every pro
hibition county in Georgia, and “cold
(w • «uld on the sly, is a popular bev-
. c [u perusing the columns of the
p„ alo Times we read a“cold tea”atory
, tat 00 mes from Goldsmith, Ind.
There was an Old Settlers’ picnic the
other day, and a chap sold a wagon
load of half pint bottles to the farmers,
telling each purchaser with a myste
rious wink, that the bottles contained
,. eo l,I tea.” The old settlers, and the
sons of old settlers, purchased generous
ly thereof, and soon the stock of the
thrifty peddler was exhausted. When
tae buyers repaired to a conveniently
secluded spot to test the quality of their
beverage, they found they had pur
chased cold tea.
I'lion making this disc ivory they all
straghtway hied themselves to a pro
vincial magistrate, and the vendor was
arrested on the charge of obtaining
coney under false pretenses. But tho
learned judge before whom he appear
ed held that tho goods sold were true to
name, that the only deception was in
the wink, and that winking is not an
indictable offense. So much for the In
diana solon. No wonder that the peo
ple of that state are called Hoosiers.
But there is another view to be taken
of the transaction. The Hoosiers afore-
eaid, in accusing the peddler of obtain
ing money under false pretenses, ac
knowledged that they believed that
they were not purchasing cold tea, but
something else — presumhbly. They
were troubled by no conscientious
scruples while they were—as they be
lieved—aiding and abetting another in
violation of the excise laws. It was only
when discovered that they had be
come a prey to their own lack of pro
bity, and that the adroit peddler had
taken advantage of his knowledge of
human nature as exemplified by an
Indiana Hoosier, that they waxed
wroth, and fain would have had the
fellow who fooled them punished by
the law for which they eo suddenly
developed a mighty respect.
But the Indiana Hoosiers are after all
very much like the rest of mankind,
to whom the Lord referred when he
said: “Thou hypocrite, first cast out
the lieam of thine own eye, and then
thou shalt see clearly to cast tho mote
out of thy brother’s eye." — Macon
Evening News.
Uue of the revelations brought out in
the present naval inquiry at Washing
ton is that tampering in official docu
ments seems to be quite common as a
part of naval ethics “for the honor of
the service.” Commenting on the
naval management behind doors, the
Chicago Chroniolo says: “It is well
that a ray of daylight should occasion
ally Hash into tbeso extraordinary
methods of attempting to keep facta
from tho pubho that no alleged stain
may reBt upon any naval officer. Amid
>11 the miserable jealousies that are
cropping ont as the Schley inquiry pro
gresses there rnns a uniform note of
distrust of publicity. Some day these
naval officials will be made to realize
that tho American navy is a branch of
the publio service, and that the acts of
>11 its officers are amenable to strict
scrutiny when occasion arises."
NEW EPISCOPAL BISHOPS.
Mr. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, the heir
of his father, is a farmer. His farm is
ia Khode Island, hence,as may be well
andestood, it is not a very largo one
Still it is a farm, and Mr. Vanderbilt
lias recently been making some notable
chauges upon it. Chief among them
be has plowed up and rolled the vege
table garden and turned it into a ten
sis court. Another part of the farm
tias boon made into a private golf links,
ac 1 still another into a polo field. And
that accounts for pretty nearly all of
the laud. The vegetables, eggs, grain,
et e, that will be needed on the farm,
w itlf of cdurse, be available in New
York city.
Five to He Chosen by Present Trien
nial Convention.
San Francisco, Oct. 5.—Five new
bisaops may be chosen at the present
triennial convention of the Episcopal
church. A bishop must be elected for
the missionary diocese of Olympia, in
the state of Washington, to take the
place of Rev. Dr. Barker, who died re
cently. The Rev. Dr Olampett is
prominently mentioned for this place.
A bisiiop must be elected for the mis
sionary diocese of North Dakota to take
the place of the Right Rev. Dr. Edsell,
now bishop of Minnesota. The clergy
man elevated to fill this bishopric will
more than likely be chosen from the
northwestern field.
There will also be a bishop provided
for Porto Rico and another for the
Pnilippiues, if not for both, probably one
for the new insular groups.
A bishop may also be appointed for
Hawaii, and here it is believed a west
ern clergyman may be chosen, though
the east may be the recruiting field.
The advisability of appointing a bishop
for Hawaii will be one of the critical
questions and principal problems o
the present convention.
In addition to the discussion of creat
ing or filling some or all of these five
bisnoprics by election at this conven
tion, there are possibilities that two new
missionary jurisdictions with mission
ary bishops may be created in the
United States. One will be influential
in other parrs or the state of Kansas.
The house of bishops has received peti
tions calling for divisious of territory to
create these two jurisdictions.
Dr. u 7.iii-ham is U filing.
Bin.MiNf.ii.iM. Ala., Oct. 4.—It is stat
ed tha: Dr. R. M. Cunningham, whore-
sides at Easley, is not opposed to the
mention of his name as a possible candi
date for governor of Alabama at the
next election lor that office. Dr. Cuu-
ningnam was former state senator from
this county and made an enviable repu
tation in the general assembly for his
eloquence and power at debate.
Antl-Katificatlon Committee,
Birmingham, Ala., Oct 4.—The fol
lowing names have been given out from
anti-ratification headquarters as those
of additional members of General Shel
ley’s campaign committee: Judge John
Purifoy of Wilcox county, Senator E. L.
Pulley of Huntsville, William C. Ray
burn of Gnntersville.
SORES AND
ULCERS.
Sores and -Ulcers never liecomc chronic
unless the blood is in poor condition —is
sluggish, weak and unable to throw ofi
the poisons that accumulate in it. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
to life would follow should it heal before
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and all impurities eliminated from the sys
tem. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
lip the general health and removing from
the system A CONSTANT DRAM
effcteniattcr! UPON ™ E SYSTEM
When this has been accomp.ishcd the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore o:
ulcer heals. It is the tendency of theseold
indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to tl estroy the bones. I-ecai
applications, while sootl’.iqg and to some
extent alleviate psin, cannot reach the scat
of the tronblc. S. S. S. does, and no niattci
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though your const itv.lion has broken
down, it will bring relief when nothing
else can. It supplies the rich, pure Llom.
necessary to heal the sore ami nourish
the debilitated, di-cascd body.
