ONCEWIFE; LATER HUNBAND
STRANGE STORY UNEARTHED IN FOOT
HILLS OF TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS.
Kate Tipto",i Secures Court Sanction to
Change Mame. Divorce Quickly Fol
lowed Matrimonial Experiences.
The strange story has just developed
at Altamont, ofa woman who up
on the affidavit of court officers
and & physician became & man,
says a Nashville, Tenn., dispatch. She
' was once a wife and in later yearsa
husband. As woman she was Kate‘
Tipton. Today this same person is
living in Altamont and is known as
Carl Crawford. Altamont is a little
community nestling among the Cum
berlands some twelve or rifteen miles
from any railroad. The facts date
back more than a year ago, but have
just come to light.
Six years ago Kate Tipton as a pret
ty mountain girl of about 22 years was
wooed and won by a moantaineer. As
inan and wife they liyed together for
less than two weeks, when they sep
arated and a divorce soon followed.
Kate Tipton continued to live in Alt
amoot and pot long after the commu
nity learned one day that she had
tried to commit suicide, sending a bul
let from a 33-caliber revolver into her
pody. For a long time it was thought |
that she would die, but with care she |
was restored to health and it then de- '
veloped that she was in love with an
other woman and on this account tried '
to take her own life. ‘
* ARRESTED FOR MASQUERADING. I?
About ifour years ago,she went to
Texas, remaining there some months,
then returning to Altamont, still as
Kate Tipton. Again she went to Texas
and a little more than {a year ago re
turned to Altamout, this time # Carl
Crawford. It developed that she hadl
been arrested 1o Texas for masquerad
ing as a man acd either made boud
and got away or took French leave.
As Carl Crawford the forme Kate Tip:
ton got sworn affidayits from the coun
ty clerk, the circuit ,court clerk and
_one of the best known physicians
in Grundy county that he, formerly
she, had the:right tobe known asa
man and to stand in the community
unmolested as sach,
WEDDED LIFE IS BRIEF.
Prior to this Kate Tipton, or Carl
Crawford, was accompanied to lexas
by a school teacher, a young woman
living at Altamont. sWith the estab
lishment of the court records the
school teacher went to live with Craw
ford as his wife, but adivorce followea
in something like two months. Craw
ford is now liying in Altemont -and is
recogpized as a male citizen of that
place. 2
' After Judge Bower's Toga. \
There will be a warm campaign for
the judgeship of the city court at Bain
bridge. Judge B. B. Bower, who has
held the position since the court was
established, is a candidate for re-elec- ‘
tion. He will be opposed by Col. W.
M. Harrell. Colonel Harrell has been
a member of the Baionbridge bar for
the past twenly years, seven years of
which time he was solicitor of the
county court.

SPEND $500,000,000 A YEAR FOR BEER
Commission Appointed to Investigate Drinking Habit in Germany
Makes Startling Report as the Result of Its Work.
The commission appointed by the
kaiser to investigate the drinking
habits of his subjects has finished its
labors and reports as follows:
Value of alcoholic liquids consumed
by the German people in the course of
twelve months, $750,000,000.
Portion of income spent by Germans
for drink on the ayerage, one-eighth
of all they earn. .
Tax on drinks collected by the state,
10 per cent of the total of all other
taxes. |
Among alcoholic drinks coosumed
beer, the national tipple, holds first
place. The breweries cost Germany
2500,000,000 annually. |
For wine the Germans spend 850,-
000,006 a year, and for spirituous
liquor, schnapps, cognac and liqueurs
SHE DIED OF FRIGHT.
Woman Expired When the Water
Bucket was Upset.
Mrs. John Pittman of Center, near
Athens, died trom fright at her home'
Thursday night.
Her husband got up during the night
and wenu into the hall to get a drink
of water. The water bucket was in a
chair, and in the dark Mr. Pittman
ran over the chair and the bucket fell
to the floor with a great noise. His
wife, awakening with a start, was 8O
frightened at the noise and at missing
her fjhusband from the bed that she
gcreamed ouv gt the top of her voice.
Mr. Pittman ran back into the room
only to find his wife in a spasm, from
the effects of which she died in a few
minutes.
The Best Remedy for Croup.
From the Atchison, Kan., Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedy for croup
is in demand in eyery neigbborhood.i
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop from one of
the children. "I‘he croup remedies
are almost as sure to be loss, in case of
croup, as a revolver 1s sure to be lost
in case of burglars. There used to be
an old-fashioned remedy for croup
known as hive syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlain’s Cough Syrup is better and
does not cost so much. It causes the
patient to ‘“throw up the phlegm”
quicker, and gives relief in a shorter
time. Giye this remedy as soon as the
croupy cough appears and it will pre
vent the attack. It never fails, and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale by

Sells Seed to California,
Hon. Mel Branch of Augusta has
shipped 500 pounds of ithe famous
Georgia ‘‘rattlesnake’’ watermelon
seed to California. California is a
great melon growing state, but the
growers recognize the fact that the
Georgia melon is superior to anything
grown in that state. This fact] ex
plains the big demand for seed from
the famous Georgia ‘‘rattlesnake’ wa
termelon. The seed retail at $1 a
pound. There is money in other chings
than cotton for the Georgia farmers,
as Mr. Branch is demoaostrating.
An Arizona Court Sfory,
A group of representatives werse
telling stories of their experiences in
court when Delegaie Smith contribu
ted this incident from Arizona: Out
in one of the border towns a case was
in progress, one of the lawyers being
an eastern man who was new to tie
country. ‘‘Will you charge the jury,
your honor?” he asked when the evi
dence had been submitted. ‘‘Oh, no;
I guess not,” replied the judge. *‘l
never charge them anything. They
don't know much anyway,and I let ’'em
have all they can make.”
Indicted for Selling Peruna,
We are informed that the grand jury
found true bilis against several parties
for selling peruna. This article, pe
runa, is extensively advertised as a
medicine and is sold all over the coun
try, but it seems to be intoxicating,
and the grand jury is making no com
promise with intoxicants.— Coffee

$150,00,000.
This showing is bad enough, but
worse still the kaiser’s commissioners
report that drinking is steadily on the
increase. Despite hard times, or per
'haps on account of them, the annual
?increase in the consumption of alco
holic ;drinks amounted to $125,000,000
in the last ten years.
At the beginning of the nineties, al
cohol taxed German national weflth
1,750 milliong of marks annually. In
1898 the figures had grown to 2,200
millions of marks.
The kaiser is in the habit of figuring
in dollars, since he is so much in
terested in dollar land. ‘‘An increase
of $90,000,000 in five years,”’” he cried,
reading the report; *‘why, the yankees
themselves could not stand it !” {
ALL OUT OF CUBA NOW.
Last of American Troops With
drawn October 17,
There are no Ams3rican troops in
Cuba now. The last of them left Ha
vana on October 17, and arrived in
Portland, Me., Saturday. The gener
al impression was that all of the
American troops left when Gen. Wood
did, namely, on May 20, 1902. As a
matter of fact, a few remained to see
that order was maintained in the Is
land. It was thought that perhaps
there might be trouble under the new
government, and that the presence of
American troops in Havana would
tend to prevent disturbances of the
peace.
There seems to be ground for saying
that the masses of the Cubans have
very little love for Americans, not
withstanding the assistance Americans
gave them in ridding themselves of
the yoke of Spain.
A Good Name.
From personal experience I testify
that DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are
unequaled as a liver pill. They are
rightly named, because they give
strength and energy and do their work
with ease.—W. T. Eason, Borne, Tex.
Thousands of people are using these
tiny littie pillsin preference to all oth
ers, because they are so pleasant and
effectual. They cure biliousness, tor
pid liver, jaundice, sick headache, con
stipation, etc. They do not purge and
weaken, but cleanse and strengthen.

Too Much Even for Billy.
The department of agriculture has
discovered a disease that is so deadly
iv wiil kill a goat. It is a new ailment,
and is called *‘takosis.”’ the name be
ing from a Greek word which means
to waste away. The disease was first
discoyered in a flock of angora goats
in Pennsylvania. Bacteriological ex
amination discovered a new germ,
which has been giyven the name of mi
crococcus caprinus. Angoras, by the
way, are not so tough as the native
Billies and Nannies, and when the new
micrococei strikes these they may tind
they have undertaken a hard proposi
tion.

MRS. VAN RENSSELAER CRUGER; HAS
JOINED TEDDY’S CLASS.
‘A Society Woman Would Feel Honored to
1 Have “Mr. Washington” as a Guest.
Many Silly Prejudices, She Says.
The New York jHerald publishes an
interview on general topics had .with
Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger at her
Washington home. Among the 'sub
jects discussed was politice and the
color line, and the following dialogue
is quoted: y
“If you are interested in politics you
are, of course, intercsted in the color
question.” ‘
“] am so glad you happened to think
of that,’”’ she replied quickly, poising
one of the fragile cups in her jeweled
fingers. “I am glad because I would
like The &erald to put me on record
as_saying that I heartily approve of
President Roosevelt’s social recogni
vion of Booker T. Washington. I con
sider Mr. Washington one of the
greatest men this country has ever
produced—a great genius, in fact—and
recognizing him as such I have sent
him an invitation to be my guest dur
ing his next sojourn in Washington.”
*You will bring down the maledic
tions of the entire south on your head,”
I remarked. !
‘I cannot help it. It is time that
common sense and common justice
were being paid to «the claims of the
negro, and the most charitable of us
cannot deny that the south has acted
in a manner entirely unwarranted in
its denunciation of those who would
pay tribute to the genius of Mr, Wash
ington.””.
‘T have often heard my mother tell
of seeing the E mpress Eugenie danc
ing at court balls with partners as
black as ebony, and [ do not at all feel
that I am outraging any just and prop
er sense of decency in my action.
America is the best country in the
world and Awmerican people are the
best on earth, but nevertheless they
have managed in their short career as
a nation to accumulate a vast number
of silly prejudices.’’
I looked up ingquiringly as she con
tinued:
“These prejudices, of which the ne
gro problem is only a sample, are so
many and so deeply imbedded that one
half of man’s life is spent in trying to
unlearn the false teachings of the
other half. \
