‘‘'Two \ 7 ears ago I was afflicted
with stomach and bowel trouble.
My case puzzled the doctors. I
subsisted only on the lightest kind
of diet. My stomach would not
retain solid food. The pain in my
stomach and bowels was so intense
that I cannot describe it. I con
tinued to grow worse. I lost 48
pounds, my nerves were com
pletely shattered, and I was very
weak. Dr.C.W. Jacobs, of Rich
mond, advised me to take Dr.Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
I began to use the pills, and the
first effect was the restoration of
my appetite, and the quieting of
my shattered nervous system. I
began to regain my lost strength,
and in one month after commenc
ing to take the pills I was able to
do my housework. I have gained
30 pounds and to-day am in good
health.”—From the Free Press,

AN ULTIMATUM
Looks as If the Boers Must
Fight or Batik Down.
PREPARATIONS FOR WAR
Signs 'Which Knglisliin-n Are Accus-
touted to See Just Previous to the
Outbreak of Hostilities Are Now In
Evidence.
London, Sept. G. — This morning’s
news sheds no light on the Transvaal
crisis. The signs which the English
are accustomed to see just previous to a
war continued and from these any
number of sensational deductions may
be drawn.
-dr. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary ol
stare for the colonies, remains at ths
colonial office and the other cabinet
ministers are either hare or on the way
to the city.
General opinion tends to the beliel
that the cabinet council will result in
an ultimatum, followed by an immedi
ate backdown on the part of the Boers
or the commencement of hostilities by
Great Britain. This feeling, however,
k founded on the trend of the recent
negotiations and it is often forgotten
that ni these Mr. Chamberlain had prac
tically a free hand and was not hindered
by the cautious conservatism which un
doubtedly will characterize the deliber
ations of the full cabinet council.
The Pali Mali Gazette today says:
“It is feared that during the past 21
hours the probability of war has become
appreciably greater.”
The paper, however, prints no news,
except that received yesterday, to jus
tly this assertion. Advices from vari
ous sources indicate that the acute ten
sion iu parts of South Africa continues.
But uuless the Boers take the initiative,
which at present is improbable, it is
pretty certain that the issue of peace or
war lies solely in the result of Friday’s
cabinet council; hence public attention
is centered more upon the signs of tha
times as exhibited at army stations and
the dockyards than iu South Africa it
self. though news from there is eagerly
awaited, chiefly owing to the uneasy
feeling that tha Boers might end the
diplomatic tangle by raiding Natal.
cu.t question to answer, ms new atti
tude would be intelligible if he had re
ceived from Mr. Chamberlain-in the
last week, or the week before, a some
what peremptory intimation that the
patience of the British government was
exhausted, that it could not wait any
longer, but must have an answer by the
middle of this week.
There is no official suggestion that
any demand of this nature has been
made, but Kruger has act'ed impulsively
and with had temper, as though some
thing of this sort had happened. He
has answered the originalproxiosal fora
joint inquiry after long delay and has
withdrawn his amended scheme with
the dangerous conditions relating to su
zerainty. If Ue has left a door open for
a full conference over the effect of the
franchise, as the optimists profess to be
lieve, negotiations may continue and
peace be maintained.
Reports respecting the ordering out
of the reserve are again contradicted
officially today, bnt the situation has
become grave and almost critical, as is
shown by the presence of Mr. Chamber-
lain in London and the remarkable ac
tivity prevailing in military circles.
R'-ply of Kruger Published.
Pretoria, South Africa, Sept. 6.—
The latest reply of the Transvaal repub
lic to the British demands has been pub
lished. In this reply regret is expressed
that the proposals of Great Britain are
unacceptable. The Transvaal govern
ment admits Great Britain’s rights un
der the convention and international
law to protect her subjects, but denies
a claim of suzerainty. The reply agrees
to a further conference regarding the
franchise and representation.
Negress I) ies at 115 Years.
< )in in beriain Replies.
It is reported this afternoon that Mr.
Chamberlain has sent a reply through
8ir Alfred Miller, governor of Cape
Colony and British high commissioner,
to the Transvaal government’s latest
proposition. The lat ter is generally un
derstood to be a wishdrawal of the former
concessions and an initiative agreement
for a further conference. It seems im
probable that Mr. Chamberlain has done
tiiis, as he would probably have awaited
the cabinet’s decision jaefore taking
such action, and even if he has it is
hardly likely that his reply would bring
matters to a head except by irritating
the Boers into aggressive action.
The materially altered aspect of
the Transvaal affair continues to be
a mystery too deep to be probed by any
body outside of the chief secretary’s
room and the colonial office. President
Kroger has suddenly changed his
ground. He had been refusing to grant
a joint inquiry into the precise effects
of the proposed political changes, but
had offered a 5 years franchise and in
creased representation under the condi
tion that the suzerainty should be aban
doned.
Offers Withdrawn.
He has now withdrawn that offer and
reverted to his original scheme, accept
ing the suggestion for a conference of
some kind. The facts are in dispute,
but this seems to be a close approach to
the truth. Why has Kruger changed
ground, so suddenly? That is the diffi-

New Orleans, Sept. 6.—Melite Pi
erre, a negress, died yesterday morning
at 1429 Dumaine street, corner of Vil-
lere, at the extremely old age of 115
years. The old woman had entirely
forgotten how old she was, but she re
membered distinctly that when she came
to New Orleans the St. Louis cathedral
was being built. That was 110 years
ago. At that time Melite was between
4 and 0 years of age.
McKinley at Washington.
Washington, Sept. 6.—President Me

Grand Army encampment at Philadel

and all seemed in excellent spirits.
Pays Ilis Father’s Shortage.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 4.—E. D. Free,
who was appointed treasurer of Barn
well county on the death of his father,
the former treasurer, reports to the gov
ernor that he finds a shortage in his
father’s accounts of $8,700. The short
age was over $16,000, but there were
funds to his father’s credit to reduce it.
The son tells the governor that his
father left him properly enough to wipe
out the shortage, which will be done.
Freight Trains Are Wrecked.
Collinsville, Ala., Sept. 4.—Two
freight trains, one a double header,
came together near this place on the
Alabama Great Southern railroad, and
both were wrecked. The three engines
Were ditched and 15 cars demolished.
The trainmen saw collision was inevita
ble in time to jump and save their lives,
and no one was badly hurt.
Priz- s For \Yh?at Growers.
Greenwood, S. C., Sept. 4.—It has
been decided, in order to stimulate
wheat growing in the county, to offer
cash prizes for the largest yieldn of
wheat per acre grown during the com
ing season. Several public spirited citi
zens have taken the matter in hand and
the details will be announced in a few
weeks.
Exports From Pensacola.
Pen&acola, Fla., Sept. 4.—Theaggre-
valne of foreign exports from Pensacola
last month was $1,145,517. The value
of exports in August, 1898, was $845,-
003, and in August, 1897, $566,821.

‘‘Resolved, That division 152, Brother

BUILD CARS IN AMERICUS.
Georgia and Alabama Railway to
Commence Work.
Ahericus. Ga., Sept. 4.—With the
arrival here^tnis week of a large ship
ment of car iron from a northern foun
dry, work will be started at the car
shops of the Georgia and Alabama rail
way upon the building of 1,500 freight
cars fi&vhat road.
The matter of building its own cars
here has been contemplated by the com
pany for some time, a3 it has been dem
onstrated in the building of a trial or
der of 30 cars that the cost is $25 per
car less than at northern or western car
works.
Every facility for carbuilding has
been provided at the company’s great
shops here, and thus another important
industry will be afforded Americas.
Raving TLiniuc and Others In
Frightful Plight.
Charleston, Sept. 2.—The British
steamer Woodruff, Captain Milbnrn,
arrived from Hamburg this morning.
On Aug. 31, 250 miles south of Charles
ton, she picked up Maurice Anderson
and Goodmund Thomasen, survivors of
the Norwegian bark Drot, which was
wrecked on Aug. 15 off the Florida
const, bound from Pascagouia to Buenos
Ayres.
Anderson is a raving maniac. Thom
asen is dreadfully mutilated from bites
of crazed companion. They tell a horri
ble story of distress. Captain Drot and
seven seamen were swept overboard and
lost in the storm. Mate an,d seven men
put to sea on raft made friSn decking.
Raft parted, mate and one man was sepa
rated from the others. Mate’s compan-
ion was landed at Philadelphia by Ger
man steamer on Aug. 22. Stated mate
committed suicide. Of six men on other
raft one jumped into sea and two others
fell overboard and were lost. Ander
son, Thomasen and a German saarnan
drew lots a3 to which should be eaten.
The German was chosen, killed and his
biood sucked. ' Anderson became crazed
shortly afeer and severely atrackea his
companion. Thomasen’s breast and
face were bitten in several places,
chunks of flesh being torn out. Both
are at the city hospital and the Norwe
gian cousui has the case in baud. An
derson is a Swede. Thomasen is a na-
tivo of Stevauger, Norway.
FEVER IN NEW ORLEANS.
No Excitement but Vexation Over
Quarantine Against City.
New Orleans, Sept. 2.—The report
on the fatal case of yellow fever in New
Orleans has caused no excitement here
and no negira from the city, bnt there
is considerable vexation in the business
community over the slapping on of
quarantine by the surrounding towns.
For a week, at least, it seems likely that
Texas and Alabama wiil be closed
against New Orleans freight, involving
a heavy loss in current business.
Dr. Sanders of Mobile is quoted as
saying there are two cases in this city.
One of these is the Adolph boy, who
died yesterday. The other is a sus
picions case, now convalescent and in
no danger of death. The state board of
health has been called in session today
to consider the situation. The health
authorities are confident that they will
be able to prevent any spread of the
disease and their success iu the early
part of ths summer in stamping the
disease when one case was reported has
had a good effect upon the public mind.

Washington, Sept. 1. — General
Frank, commanding the department of

have appeared at Key West and asked
instructions.
In reply General Mile3 sent tele
graphic instructions directing the re
moval of the garrison at Key West to
such point as General Frank may deem
best, bnt suggesting Fort McPherson,
on account of the ample quarters at
that point.
The garrison at Key West is com

The acting assistant surgeon at Key
West has also reported to General Stern
berg that four cases of yellow fever have

Alleged Murderers Will Be Tried
Eiliiigham County.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 5.—‘‘I am
opposed to trying cases that involve hu

courthonse falls upon the military,”
was in substance the statement made
by Judge Seabrook from the bench of
McIntosh superior court yesterday, as
he announced his decision to grant a
change of venue in the cases against
John Delegal, Ed Delegal and Mirandy
Delegal, indicted for tha- murder of
Deputy Sheriff Townsend.
This statement created a stir in the
courtroom and great discussion on all
sides. Judge Seabrook followed it with
the declaration that he did not question
,*ke wisdom of Governor Candler iu
sending the military forces to Darien at
the time he did to protect the place,
neither did he mean to criticise the
judgment displayed by Governor Cand
ler in calling out the military, but for
the reason given and for other reasons
he did not think necessary to mention
from the bench, he had decided to grant
the change of venue to the accused and
set the case against them for trial in
Effingham county superior court on
Wednesday, Sept. 13.

Jackson, Miss., Sept. 2.—Regarding
the case of yellow fever in New Orleans
Dr. J. F. Hnuter, secretary of the board
of health, made the following statement
today: “I received advices of the case
from the Louisiana state authorities on
Aug. 28 and immediately sent two iu^
spectors to make a searching investiga
tion. They advised me against quaran
tining and none will be established un
less the - situation gets more serious.
There is an agreement between the
Louisiana and Mississippi boards not to
quarantine on the first case and we
shall not. I do not anticipate the ne
cessity for future action.”

Columbia, S. C., Sept. 5 —It is likely
that Governor McSweeney and his en
tire staff, receu tly appoined, a number
of state officials and several military
companies will participate in the
Dewey celebration.
General Floyd urges each member of
the staff tfTsecure his uniform at once,
as it is proposed for the entire staff to
go fully uniformed.
The uniform to be used by Governor
McSweeney’s siaff officers will be the
same as that worn by the members of
the staff of the governor of Georgia—the
regulation United States fatigue or ser
vice uniform. Heretofore the uniforms
have had much gold lace, and were too
expensive for the ordinary citizen.
The Greenville Light infantry is the
first company to signify its purpose of
going.
HIGHER RATES ON LUMBER.
Darien, Ga., Sept. 6.—The case of
the state against Henry Delegal, charged
with assault, was called by Judge Sea
brook this morning. Considerable
tronbie is being found iu securing an
impartial jury, only nine having been
secured by 12 o’clock out of 48.
The sheriff is summoning every avail
able man and it is thought the trial will
commence after dinner today and be
concluded today. This will end tha
special term of court, as the rioters have
all been tried and 22 of 35 convicted,
with one mistrial.
Somewhat heavy sentences have
been passed on 22 rioters, six being fined
$1,000 each or 12 months on the chain-'
gang, and 16 being fined $250 each or
12 months in the gang. Two others are
out on bond and were not present to
have sentences passed. It is presumed
that they will not show up and it ia
hardly probable that any of the con
victed ones will be able to pay their
fines.
The two Delegal boys and Delegal
women charged with the murder of
Deputy Townsend will be tried in
Effingham county next Wednesday, a
change of venue having been granted
by Judge Seabrook.
