Authentic information has reached
iiruuswick to the effect that Mr. J. M.
Wilkinson, of Lowndes, will not be a
Kepubi4can candidate of the Republi
cans of the Eleventh district, In oppo
sition to Hon. W. G. Brantley, Demo
cratic nominee for Congresa.
This information comes from one of
Mr Wilkinson's friends Jn Lowndes to
whom he so personally expressed him
mett
This will leave Congressman Brant
ley with a clear field and he is justly
entitled to the honor of an uncontested
tiled ion, as he has proven doubly
worthy of l| by hift devotion to the
best intermits of nil his constituents in
the Eleventh district regardless of
party afllliation.
in the meantime the Republicans of
the Eleventh arc very much torn by
internal dissent ions and the last two
issues of the Brunswick Herald, their
otlicia! organ, has teemed with red hot
charges against sOme of the postmas
ter ami other lesser lights, bringing
into discussion Director of the Census
Merrlnm, who furnishes and interes
ting card bearing on the situation.
It seems that postmaster Drier, of
Dublin, has been making efforts to
oust Chairman livelier. of Glynn,
from the district leadership. As a re
taliatory measure Chairman Belcher
lias jumped IW master Drier for his
part in having some colored census
enumerators displaced after he had ae-
cured the Dublin post mastership plum
for lumsclf throught their eld. Mr
tirkr denied the charge of having any
thing to do with this end the removals
were laid at tbs door ot Director Mer*
riman. Director Mcrrinmn now writes
m card flatly contradicting the charge
that he had anything to do with the
colored enumerate*-* displaced, end
the lie raid teket thntcfrd and lava It
on heavy to the Dublin!tea. In the
cnesntime It develops that e cam
paign fund has beca raised for the
purpoac of influencing colored dele
gatee to vote against Belcher for re-
electton to the district chairmanship,
but Belcher was the only one who had
•uthorlty to call the committee to
gether and get ready for another con
vention and he has delayed this call
«o long that the campaign barrel of

the Doimvrats hav** nothing to do ex

the old crowd overboard for good and

The Tramp's Lecture.
A tramp asked for a drink In a sa-
loon. The request was grrnted, and
when in the act of drinking the prof
fered beverage one of the young men
present exclaimed:
“£topf Make us a speech. It is
poor liquor that does not loosen a
man's tongue.*’
The tramp hastily swallowed down
the drink, and as the rich liquor
coursed through his veins, he straight*
tenel himself up and stood before
them with a grace and dignity that
all his rags and dirt could'not obscure.

ODORS OF FLOWERS THAT ARE HARM
FUL TO HEALTH
Beware of the a* If Contain*
Opium him) Induce* Urovraluc**.
Tulip* That Are Danicerou* nnd
Produce l.ljrbf Hrndeilnt-ka,
The majority of people think that
the tulip has no smell, and this is true
of a great number of the fashionable
variegated kinds. The old self colored
sort*, however, particularly those of a
deep crimson hue. have a powerful
odor, which la dangerous when inhal
ed. This odor is of saffron flavor And
affects many people Jn a very peculiar
manner. If breathed deeply. It has
the effect of producing light beaded-
ness. which continues for some time,
causing the sufferer to do and say all
maimer of remarkable and ridiculous
things. Its influence often lasts for an
hour or two and is followed by deep
depression.
Another common flower whose odor
has evil properties is the poppy. This
Is doubtless due to the quantity of
opium which the blossom contains.
Numbers of indtrlduols, especially
young ladles of highly strung temper
ament, complain of the drowsy sensa-
Gon which cornea after walking
through a field of these flowers and
afterward of violent headaches and a
disinclination to move about In Asia
Minor, where the poppy Is grown In
vast quantities for the purpose of ex
tracting the drug, tourists are fre
quently Incapacitated for many hours
after inspecting a poppy plantation,
and two cases »f death among Eng
lish tourists were traced to the same
cause last year.
All flowers grown from bulbs aro
dangerous in rooms where there Is ill
ness. Although hunches of flowers are
Invariably taken as presents to pa
tients. such bitoms as hyacinths, lilies
of the valley, tuberoses and even daf
fodils and narcissuses should be care
fully avoided. The perfume Is as dan*
gerous to a person In a critical state of
health as a dose of morphia would be,
without fiossesslng the benefits which
that drug sometimes confers.
Perhaps the most remarkable effect
which any garden flower has on the
human body Is that which follows the
handling of the particular variety of
primula known as obconlca. Expe
rienced gardeners are always careful
to wear gloves when potting this
plant, ns, should there be ever such a
slight scratch or prick on the hands or
fingers, evil results are almost certain
to follow.
The first noticeable result is a slight
Itching of the hands nnd arms, nnd this
precedes the breaking out of a skin
disease wljicli frequently extends to
the I tody. It dies away In the autumn
when the leaves fall, and by Christ
mas the sufferer Is free, but the pri
mula has by no weans finished its
deadly work. When spring comes again
nnd the sap rises in plants nnd trees,
the dread disease makes its reappear
ance and continues all through the
summer.
This continues for many years, fre
quently for the whole of the victim’s
lifetime, nnd there Is no known rem
edy for It. although years of the most
rigid dieting have in some cases pro
duced a diminution In its violence.
If blood poisoning by the primula
obconlca does not take this form, it
brings about tbe still more dreadful
erysipelas. Cases of poisoning through
eating the berries of the belladonna, or
deadly nightshade, are all too frequent,
but there Is the gravest danger In even
bundling this attractive plant.
It is a very common practice in tbe
country among parties of young peo
ple to pick the berries nnd flick them
At each other with tbe tlngers for
sport Then, when heated by the fun
and fusillade, the fuce is sometimes
mopped with a handkerchief upon
which fingers sticky with the Juice of
the berries have been wiped.

Hanging In Balnbrldge.
Bainbridge.Ga-.July 11.—Joe Sparks,
