T&EY GOT ENDUGH OF THE EXTRA SESSION
GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE BOTH MIGHTY
SICK OF THE SPECIAL MEETING.
ATLANTA.—The governor and
the members of the legislature felt
mightily relieved when the special
session, which was called by Govern
or Smith for the specific purpose of
considering the convict question and
was in session nearly four weeks,
adjourned. §
‘““Nothing less than invasion or in
surrection will ever produce another
extraordinary session of the legisla
ture,”’ said a representative a few
days ago. This is the first held un
der the present constitution, and it
has justified the fears which have
heretofore deterred all governors
from calling them. With little to do

White Man Atiempted to Assault
Woman in Sumter. A North Car

Lost $l4O Delonging to Randolph
Farmer. Nearly Caused a Wreck
to Stop Train.
An attempted assault upon a white
woman was made by an unknown
white man a few mornings ago at a
farm house mnear Americus, the
screams of the woman frustrating
the scoundrel in his diabolical deed.
The man was masked and threatened
death to the woman if she screamed;
but fled when she caiied for assist
ance. Officers made a fruitless ef
fort to trace and capture the offend- |
er. ]
At a meeting of the board of com-|
missioners of Sumter county a full|
investigation was made of charges!
recently brought against Supt. W. R.
Pacshal of the county road dcpzn'r-]
ment, based upon statements mudoi
by some of the convicts, and the ztllo—;
gations made before the legislative
investigating committee. The com
missioners decided unanimously that
there was nothing in the way of proof
to sustain the charzes against the su
perintendent and he was, therefore,
exonerated. After the trial and Mr.
Paschal declared innocent of any
wrong doing he tendered to the
board his resignation as superintend
ent of roads, a position which he had
held satisfactorily for a long while,
and it was accepted. |

'WINE BY THE HOUR IN ITALY
| s ¢
This Is Calculated to Make Some
People in Prohibition Georgia
| Wish They Were There.
Italy just now should be a pleasant
place for the man with a thirst, a
small purse and a taste for Italian
wine. According to the Paris Debate
the grape harvest this year is ex
ceptionally good, and will vield even
better results than last vear. The
coopers are therefore fully occupied,
and the wine dealer’s one idea is to
empty his cellar of last vear’s wine.
This, however, is not easy, as there!
is a duty on exported wine, so that
italy must consume it herself. The
price of wine has fallen to ridiculous
levels, and a new system of sale has
been introduced. Instead of wine by
the quart wine by the hour is the
regime.
Thus at Catane for three cents one
can drink ad libitum for an hour.
But the bargain is not so great as
might appear, for the price of wine
is only a half-penny a quart, and to
drink three quarts of Sicilian wine in
an hour is no slight undertaking.
At the neighboring town of Aciaca
tena the price for one hour is only
two cents, while for three cents one
can drink for two hours. So success
ful has this system been in the south
that it has been adopted in the north
of Italy. In the neighborhood of
Bologna, where the wine is of better
quality than in Sicilly, the tariff (per
hour) is eight cents, while for the
second hour it is only six cents, and
for the third four cents. The result
is that in Italy, a sober country, a
large number of ‘““drunks’ are to be
seen this summer.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by loeal appheations, as they eannot reach the
| diseased portion « f the ear.” There is on.y one
l\\a)' to cure deafness, and that is by constita
tional rewmedies. Deafness is caused, by inflam
| ed condition of the muicous lining of the Eusta
lvhi:m tube. When this tube is inflamey you
bave a rumbling sound or imperfect hearine.
‘:uni when it is entirely closed deafness is the
« result, and unless the inflammation ean be taken
| out and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the MUCOUs
tsurfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for
{any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that

contractors who are building the new

are waiting for them in the heat of
the cotton sea, with the trouble in
cident to a torn up bridge when haul
ing cotton), but the idea has been
advanced that to work them would
be to bring them into competition
with free labor, and hence the or
der has gone out to cut it out.
What puzzles the observer is the fact
that these same convicts have been
repeatediy used to cut hay and pull
fodder in private farms, on the share
system, and no thought of the mat

NIGHT RIDERS IN GEORGIA.
Say They Will Burn Gins If Cotton
Is Ginned Before It Reaches |
Twelve Cents. |
A Lawrenceville dispatch says
night riders have posted written no
tices, painted with red hands, on sev
eral gins in Gwinnette county, warn- |
ing proprietors that their gins would
be burned to the ground should a
bale of cotton be ginned before the
price of cotton reached 12 cents a
pound.
It is reported that similar warnings
are being posted on many gins over
the country as well as at oil mills.
Sent Match in a Letter.
The Macon Telegrapn says that
letters which are regarded as the
work of cranks are being received
by some of the public ginners of that
section.
These letters are of the black-hand
variety, and are supposed to be writ
ten as if by farmers who want the
price of cotton to advance, and who
are willing, in any way, to prevent
any being ginned for market.
[t is said that one of these threat
ening letters was sent to Mr. Walter
Bryant of Twiggs county, and in ad
dition to a threatening message it
i(-unmino(l a match which meant mucn
or little, just as the recipient cared
to construe it. Two such letters
were also received, so it is reported,
by ginners at Gordon.
It is thought that some mischiev
ous person,.or some one ‘‘not all
lright in his head,” has been reading
the accounts of the night riders in
Mississippi and other states, and sent
the letters to the ginners. lhe gin
ners do not take the letters serious-
Iy, having faith in the integrity and
honesty and high character of the
Georgia farmer and planter.
When you have a cold you may be
sure that it has been caused indi
rectly by constipation, and conse
quently you must first of all take
something to move the bowels. This
is what has made Kennedy’'s Laxa

so generally demanded. It does not
constipate like most of the old fash
ioned cough cures, but on the other
hand it .gently moves the bowels and
at the same time heals irritation and
allays inflammation of the throat.
