BRYAN TO BE IN COLUMBUS.
Cit.z -ns Arranging to Give Him a
U g Ovation.
Columbus, Ga., Feb. 19.— The details
are being shaped up for the visit to Co
lumbus next Tuursday of Colonel Wil
liam J. Bryan, who will arrive here
Thursday afternoon from Jacksonville.

A N gro 1 nso.phi*ce Company.!
Dublin, Ga., Feb. 16—An insurance
company was recently established here
that is tlm only one of the kind in the
south. It is named the Afro-American
Life Insurance company and takes risks
on negroes. The manager of the corn-
pan v is T H Overby, who is well known
in state iu.-urauce circles, but most of
the other officers are negroes. The
company has been organized only a few
mourns, but appears to be doing a good
business already. As is well known,
none ot the big life insurance companies
will insure the lives of negroes, and the
Dublin company ought to do a good
business.

Follett Street, Pawtucket, R. I.,
says:
“ About eight years ago, I was
taken witii nervous prostration
■which was followed by a partial
paralysis of the lower limbs. The
doctor called it locomotor ataxia.
I could not direct my steps, and I
would often fall down. I tried
many remedies but was not bene
fited until I began taking Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People.
Several doctors had told me that
there was no cure for my trouble,
but my improvement continued
and I took the pills steadily for
two 3-ears. At the end of that
time I had regained full control of
my limbs. The pain left me and
.has never returned.”
Mrs. H. T. Salisbury,
Subscribed and sworn to before
me this 2ist day of August, 1899.

TENNESSEE MINERS AFFAIR. STRANGE CRIME IN FLORIDA.
Trouble Betw-tV'ii Union and Nonunion
Workers a« J.-liic
Knoxville, Feb. 21.—A special from
Jellico says: G. W. Purcell, the organ
izer of the United Mine Workers union,
who is here, has received orders from
National President Mitchell to order a
strike in the Proctor coal mines. Par-
cell has not yet ordered a strike, nor has
District President Smith, wno, it was
last ui_gut thought, wouid take imme
diate action.
A massmeeting of the district coal
miners, both union and nonunion, has
been caked fer tonight. At this meet
ing the situation will be discussed. An
effort wiil be made to have ail the non
union men affiliated with the union,
that the entire district may be organ
ized. It is believed this will be success
ful when the sitnuti;-n will be in the
hands of the Mine Wbrkers’ union.
Strike may thsu be ordered if the Proc
tor Coal company persists in refusing to
recognize the union. A number of men
were discharged by the Proctor com
pany Monday. It is openly charged by
union men that these men were dis
missed on account of tli9ir affiliation
with the union.
The Proctor company is the only one
in rhe district not recognizing the union.
It pays a higher scale than other com
pames, the purpose of which is said to
00 to keep its men from going to other
companies, as it has large contracts to
fill. However, it is opposed to union
organization,
Organizer Pnrc9ll was arrested a few
days ago on the charge of violating the
Kentucky law against union agitators.
His trial will take place this aiternoon
or tomorrow.
Under orders of District President
T. J. Smith of the United Mine Work
ers’ union 350 of the 400 miners in Proc
tor coal mines walked out at noon. It
had been auteipated that a strike wouid
occur later, possibiy tomorrow, after the
meeting tonight. feinith, however,
acted sooner, upon orders from In
dianapolis. TI19 order for tli9 strike
provides that work must be suspended
until the Proctor Coal company agrees
to treat with organized labor. The
miners will inset tonight.

Visitor From Apalachicola Reports
Ghastly Kind.
.Columbus, Ga., Feb. 15 —Mr. W. C.
Thornton of Apalachicola, Fla., who has
arrived in the city brings news of a hor
rible find at Chattahoochee, Fla., which
brings to light a mysterious crime.
Mr. Thornton left Apalachicola Mon
day by boat, arriving at Chattahoochee
Tuesday. There had just been discov
ered in the Chattahoochee river at that
point the body of a well dressed man.
The dead man had on fashionable clotl>
ing, wore tan shoes and had on tan-
colored socks. The strange part of the
affair was that a lady’s handkerchief
was found stuffed in the man’s mouth
and around his neck was the imprint of
a rope. The coroner’s jury returned a
verdict that the deceased came to his
death from violent causes at the hands
of unknown parties.
There is nothing whatever about the
murdered man’s body to identify him.
Nobody is missing from that part of
Florida. The looks of the body show
that it had been in the water several
days. It might have drifted hundreds
of miles down the river.
WANT A UNIFORM PRIMARY.
Georgia’s State Officials Unanimous
on the established Custom.
Atlanta, Feb. 17.—With the election
of a United States senator for Georgia
on hand during the present year there
is practically unanimous sentiment
among leading officials of the state,
and parucuiaVly starehouse officers that
the esiablished custom of nominating
ail Democratic candidates, including
the eandiiiate for senator, by primary
election, should be followed oat to the
letter.
There has been no intention on the
part of the statehouse officers who, with
one exception, that cf Treasurer W. J.
Speer, will ask re election, to suggest a
change of the method of selection. The
satisfaction created over the slate four
years ago, when Hon. Charles F. Crisp
was voted for at the primary for United
States senator, was recalled yesterday
by every official who was approached as
to his views for the election of senator
this year by vote of the people.
INVASION IMPRACTICABLE.
London Says Bui lei’s Transport Is
Insufficient For Transvaal.
London, Feb. 21. — The Morning
Leader says:
“The crossing of the Tugela river was
scarcely opposed, bnt that is not to say
that fierce resistance may not be looked
for before the Ouderbrook works are
negotiated.
“A high authority agreed yesterday
with the opinion expressed in these col
umns that two thirds or three-fourths
of General White’s command will be
available for active operations any time
within a week. We cannot see how an
advance through North Natal can be
made before Charleston and Van Ree-
nen’s pass are secure. As for the ques
tion of General Buffer’s invading the
Transvaal, a practical difficnlry exists.
Our information is that his transport i9
utterly insufficient unless the Boers
oblige him by fighting along the rail
way.
••Wo look for one fight about Pieters
Station and then the departure of the
commandos of Free Staters for Drakens-
burg aud the T.-ausvaai and for Mejuba.
Nothing is doing in North Capo Colony
and the greater part of the Boers appa
rently have retired to fight in their
own state.
“Expectation sits in the gate to know

Whipped 11 P«ip\i Twice.
Dawson, Ga., Feb. 17.—Professor H.
A. Ferrell, who created a whipping
sensation in his school at Graves, a
small station 4 miles west of Dawson,
has resigned his position, owing to the
trustees’ dissatisfaction over the affair.
It seems, from reports, that Professor
Ferrell whipped Thaddeus McRae, one
of his pupils, because he refused to
make a speech, as is the custom at the
school. The young man resented the
punishment aud, hitching his horse to
his buggy, started toward home with
the expressed intention of securing his
shotgun with which to pepper the pro
fessor. The teacher, hearing of the
young man’s mission, overtook him by
taking a near route and administered
another thrashing with the young
man’s buggy whip.
Big Stave Factory.
Knoxville, Feb. 20.—J. O. Osborne
of Van Wert, O., has closed a deal with
parties in this section to establish a
mammoth stave factory. He will also

relieved and the railroads are now able
to deliver coal in quantities from the
East Tennessee mines.

Question Answered,
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of us
ing anything else for indigestion or
biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of appendi
citis, nervous prostration, or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and

Steamer Gate City Not I-sured.
Savannah, Feb. 17.—The stranded
steamship Gate City of the Ocean steam
ship line, which is said to be hopelessly
wrecked on the beach at East Moriches,
L. I , was not insured. The Ocean
Steamship company does not insure ves
sels of its fleet, having adopted the pol
icy some time ago of carrying its own
insurance. President H. M. Comer said
that while the company does not insure
its vessels it has an insurance account
and the amount to the credit of this
account is more than sufficient to re
place the Gate City if this should prove
necessary with a much nicer ship. It
is probable that only a portion of the
Gate City’s cargo was covered by in
surance.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube, hen this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless this
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
sin inflamed "condition of ilie mucous su,-faces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Hall’s Catarrh. Lure.
