LITTLE BUT LIVELY. | o THE DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING } SATURDAY, | Delegates Were Elected to the Su preme Court Convention and the U, S, Senatorship : Discussed, The democratic mass meeting at the | court house Saturday to elect delegates | to the supreme court convention, | which will meet in Atlanta today, was | not overwhelming in numhers——only} twenty-seven men being present—but | what was lacked in sumbers was made up in lively discussions, Dr.J. G. Dean, cof the executive! committee, called the meeting to order ’ and stated its object. He was, npnnl motion, made permanent chairman,and E. 1.. Rainey was elected secretary. Judge J. A. Laing nominated as d el egates to the convention J. G. Dean, R. L. Dozier, B>-H. Hood, B. I'i: St mons, E L. Rainey and M. J. Yeo mans, and they were elected by accla mation and empowered to appoint al ternates. Judge R F. Simmons suggested that the delegates be instructed, but this was opposed by Judge Laing, who said that the people of the county were in terested in Judge Kiddoo getting one of the judgeships, and that instruc tions would cripple him in the eonven- i tion. Professor J. W. F. Lowrey then took a hand in the dsscussion, and thought that the meeting, without giv ing instructions, might express a preference for three names—Hopkins, Kiddoo and Little, He thought the whole county could be unified on these three men, A compromise was finally | reached by the adoption of the follow- l ing resolutions offered by Judge Sim mons : l “Resolved, That while we do not in struct our delegates for whom to vote, ] we heartily endorse the candidacy of ! Hon. W, A. Little, Hon. W. D. Kld(l()()l and Hon. John I. Hopkins for nssm-i-' ate justices of the supreme court; also | Judge Samuel Lumpkin for re-elec- tion,” 5 ] THE U. S, SENATORSHIP | ProfessorJ. W. F. Lowrey wanted | the meeting to take action on the | United States senatorship and request | the county’s representatives to drop‘ all names then before the legislature and vote for a new man. This was vigerously opposed by Hon. A. C. Ilill, who stated that petitions representing two or three hundred people had been sent to our represent atives to vote for Hon. Evan P. How ell, and wanted to know if this meeting of twenty-five people would undertake to undo what so many had done, liere Mr. N. W. Dcz’er evoked applause by saying that Lc vas in for a new man. Hon. R. L. Melton said that this meeting had been regularly called by party authorities, that this was a meet ing of the people and its action should take precedence over any petition. He favored the endorsement of Hoke Smith. Professor Lowrey again secured the floor. He said that Terrell county did not want to be represented in the senate by either Steve Clay or Evan Howell, and he was in favor of recom mending to the legislature the name of Fleming dußignon. e said that he was a free silver man, but the Amer- ! ican people had settled that question and he was not in favor of sending al a man to the senate to retard legis—l lation. Professor M. J. Yeomans and Dr. Deanalso briefly spoke in favor ot some one who had not been before the | legislature, 1{ Judge Laing thought that the legis lature had exhausted the free silver timber, and a senator must be chosen cut of the silver ranks. He beliéved that dußignon would reflect credit up on the state and people. Mr. Hill took the floor again and said it was well-known that Terrell was for free-silver, and that it would be an ‘oatrage to ask our representatvives to vote for the rankest gold bug in Geor gia: that the free silver materlal had not been exhausted; that the money “issue would be fought over in four years, and if silver was then successful asound money man would have no busi ness in the senate. - Here Judge Simmons again pourgd 01l onthe troubled waters by offering ‘amotion that our representatives be requested to vote for the most available man who had ¢chen been before the leg islature as a candidate, This motion was adopted. VACANCIES FILLED. The meeting then elected Messrs, C, ‘M. Davidson. J. H. Pritchard and ‘Aleck Helton! to vacancies on the ;exwmi\'c committee caused by the resignations of Messrs. B. L. Hill, John Parrott and Henry Lee. The commit tee was authorized to fill any vacancies on the committee that may hereafter arise, and the meeting then adjourned CLAY IS SENATOR.

UNCLE SAM MAY YET SCRAP WITH SPAIN. Looks Like President Cleveland Means Business at Last, Bitter Feeling in s pain, WAsHINGTON, Nov. 14—The situation in Cuba is at a crisis. Those familiar with the cundition of affairs of the is land say the time is at hand when some definite action will be taken, and that in eight weeks the war will either end on one side or the other. Meantime the re lations between Spain and the Unit ed States are so strained that one breath would start a flame from the spark ot war that has been smoldex ing for months. This tension is recog nized by foreign powers, who are hoping to mediate bdetween the two countries and bring about an amicable settlement. It is not believed that this can be done unless a check can be put on the revolutionary spirits that have taken sced in Spain. The feeling of the Spamards against the United States is undoubtedly extremely bitter, While war may not be expected. the officials don’t deny that everything is in readi ness and the nayy is being put in posi tion, and are in condition 10 move on short notice., The situation in Cuba is more critical than it is in Spain.

The Equally Interesting Method of His Cure, ang His Enthusiastic Endorsement. From the Otsego Farmer, Cooperstown, N. Y. ~ In the town of Oneonta, in Otsego County, New York, for a great many years there has lived a man whose life has been overshad owed by that terrible disease, paralysis. Recently it was rumored that a miracle had been performed—that this man had been re stored to his normal health and strength and to ascertain the truth or falsity of such a rumor your correspondent visited Oneonta to-day and being directed to the man sought an interview with him, which was readily and cheerfully granted. The man told his own story as follows: “My name is Edward Haswell. You would not think from my appearance, but I was bora 77 years ago, in %ew Scotland, Albany Coumty. I was reared on a farm and blesae(? by Nature with a streng con stitution and good health. Early in life I removed to A%a.ny, thence to Schenevus, in this county, and finally settled down in On eonta, where I have lived a great many years. “ When the war broke out I was stron and active, being nearly six feet tall ang weighing 225 Y(ounds. I enlisted in the Third Ngow York Cavalry and served three years. Of the ]ong weary marches, especi ally in North Carolina of the days and nights of exposure I will not speak fz;r it was in the barracks at Waskington that my misery began. Whilé there heavy rains fell and not having sufficient protection ofttimes we awoke in the m nO% drenched with the rain. At this time Etracted a cold and aleng with it came that dread disease, rheu matisn. [ rapidly grew worse and was re gloved to the hospftal where I was attended y Dr. Leonard, now of Worcester in this county. gle made me as comfortable as any man could, but I could not shake off the disease. It was in my system and after my return home with impaired health and strength reduced, my nerves gave out and additional suffering ensued. Pcou]d move around and was a‘Lle to do some work—at length T went to work in the car shops here, inside work wholly—but the least exposure would bring on terrible painsan lif(:: was made miserable for me. After a few years my strength gave out and I was unable to fight against my pains. In addition to the rheumzﬁism extreme nervousness too's pos session of me—then heart disease set inj I could not lie down to sleep and was brought very low by this complication of diseases. My wrists and ankles became swollen, my legs distorted and my hips sunken, now you can feel the cavities, also thrust your hand into my back—such were the ravages of rheumatism. ‘“ But this was not all. About six years ago I had astroke of paralysis which afiected my left side—but by extra care I recovered somewhat from this. Three years ago I had a second stroke which rendered me entirely helpless. My left side was wholly useless and [ could not feel it when a pin was thrust full length into my leg or arm. Before Pfll'il]}'s}ﬁ set in I thought I was nizh to death, yut notv eame the horror of a living death. On account of my heart trouble which was ageravated by this new disease, T could not sleep and «:on{d be placed only in one posi tion—bolstered up in a chair reclining slightly on my right side. Now the paraly sis afdected my head and I wonld remain in t,lmt#)si:ion aslgep in the chair for weeks at 8 time without awakening. Words cannot express the mizery I wasin and the suffer ing I endured. All thistime I consulted dootors and trigd all kingls of patent medi cines without receiving any benefit. I was doomed to a lingering death gud was in despair. One day a paper was handed me to read. Inthe paper I saw an account of 18833 TR 18895 Over thirty different saloons have opened and clised out in Dawson since h’f EXCELSIOR opened in 1885. Only one nogv running (J. H.

[ by, faith in patent medicines, I had spent over $200.00 in them, all to no purpose. Unable to work I had no income save a pension of $B.OO per month. But some way I as im. gressed with what Pink Pills had dope and etermined to give them a fair trial. | did noy stop with one box but used three hoyes ‘before I noticed any effect. A fier taking ‘three boxes I felt a change coming over e I kept on taking Pink Pi?ls and kept on feel. ing bitter. Gradually my pain left me, | be. gan to feel new life course through my body and to my surprise and delight, feeling he. gan to come into my side and life and strength into my leg and arm. After takip fourteen boxes I had recovered ful] use 05 my limbs, my rheumatiem was gone and my heart trouble reliev«r. During my sickness my weight had decreased from 295 pounds to 144 pounds, but to-day I weigh 170 pounds am strong and active and you would not take me to be 77 years old.”’ While speaking, Mr. Haswell showed cop. siderable emotion and when questioned he added : ‘‘l cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and I cannot ey. ress my gratitude to the Dr. Williamg’ g[edicine Company, they saved my life and gave me back Eeaiih I had not enjoyed for over 30 years.” When told that people might not lelieve such a story in print, Ke said: “I am will ing to go before a Justice of Peace and swear to its truth, if you wish, and I shall be only too glad to answer inquiries anyone niy wish to make.” Dr. Williams’ Pink_Pills for Pale People are an unfailing remedy for all diseases aris ing from a peor and watery condition of the blood, such as pale and sallow complexion, general musecular weakness, loss of appetite, epression of spirits, lack of ambition, anw mia, chlorosis or green sickness, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath on slight exertion, coldness of hands or feet, swelling of the feet and limbs, pain in the back, nervous headache, dizziness, loss of memory, feebleness of will, ringing in the ears, carly decay, all forms of female weakness, leucor rheea, tardy orirregular periods, suppression of menses, hysteria, paralysis, locomotor ataxia, rheumatism, sciatica, all diseases depen(lling on vitiated humors in the blood, causing scrofula, swelled glands, fever sores, rickets, hip-joint diseases, hunchback, ac quired deformities, decayed bones, chronic erysipelas, catarrh, consumption of the how els and lungs, and also for ‘invigorating the blood and system when broken down hy overwork, worry, diseases, excesses and indiseretions of living, recovery from acute diseases, such as fevers, ete., loss of vital powers, spermatorrheea, early decay, prema ture old age. These pills are not a purga tive medicine. They contain nothing that could injure the most delicate system. They act direetly on the blood, supplying to the blood its life-giving qualities by assisting it to absorb oxygen, that great supporter of all organic life. In this way the blood, hecom ing “buzilt up”” aud being supplied with its lacking constituents, hecomes rich and red, nourishes the various organs, stimulating them to activity in the performance of their functions, and thus to eliminate diseases from the system. These pills are manufactured hy the Dr, Williams” Medicine Company, ~Schenee tady, N. Y., and are sold in hoxes bearing the firm’s trade mark and wrapper, 1t 3 cents a hox cr six boxes for £2.30, and are never sold in bulk. They may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company. The price at which these pills are sold malkes @ conrse of treatment inexpensive as compared with other remedies.
