From Havana they went to Clen-

for a trip forty miles further up the
west coast. Here, they found that
conveyances were waiting them at an
other small port eighteen miles off so
they started there. They encountered
a storm on the way nnd after being
buffeted about by high seas all night
long, they were informed by the cap
tain that the sea was too rough to
land, no they returned to the point
they had loft and began to negotiate
with natives for conveyances. They
secured three pack mules, three guides
and an Interpreter for a trip of forty
miles for an outlay of sixty dollars.
It required three days to make the
trip, thirty miles of It being across
the sharp volcanic roelcs and the other
ten miles through mud and water,
ranging from one and a half to six
feet deep. At one place their satchels
got loose and were floated down

were not pleased with It a little bit.

_ COLUMBUS. Ga., April 25.—Captain
broken <hiulder. Damage estimated at j William R. Moore, one of the most
0,000. ' prominent ciitzens of Columbus, died
suddenly this morning of heart failure.
An old sore or ulcer is only a symptom, an outlet for the impurities and
poisons which are in the blood, and as lonjf as this vital fluid remains^ in
this impure, contaminated state the place will never heal. The application
of salves, washes, powders, etc., may cause the spot to scab over, but a fresh
outpouring of diseased matter from the blood starts it r.gain, and thns it goes
on, gradually growing worse and slowly affecting the entire health of the
sufferer. There are many ways in which the blood becomes contaminated
nnd poisoned. A long spell of sickness breeds disease- germs in the system,
the failure of the eliminative members to remove the refuse and waste matter
of the body, the excessive use of mineral medicines in certain diseases, all
infect the blood with morbid matter and germs which sooner or later is man
ifested by a sore that refuses to-heal. Persons with inherited blood taint are
very apt to be afflicted with sores and ulcers. The tcint may lie dormant
during young, vigorous life, but when middle age is reached or passed and
the natural energies begin to grow weaker, the tissues in some weak point
break down and a chronic sore is formed and kept open by the constant
drainage of impure matter from the blood. If the cause is not removed the
gore will continue to grow worse by eating deeper into the flesh, festering,
discharging, and slowly undermining the constitution. S. S. S. heals old
sores by going down to the very bottom of the trouble, driving out the
Impurities and building up the entire circulation. When S. S. S. has removed
the cause the blood becomes rich and healthy, the sore begins to heal, new
flesh is formed, and soon the place is cured. Do not depend on external
applications, which do not reach the blood, but begin the use of S. S. S. and
remove of the cause, and then the sore must heal. Bool: on Sores and Ulcers

A tenant on Mr. Kemp’s place cut
the limbs from a cherry tree and
threw them over the fence where
there was a bunch of cows. The cat

Mr. Jackson's cow was dead and the

leaves have some powerful acid, which
is poisonous though farmers gener
ally have not regarded them that
way.
Many cows and other kinds of cat

mysterious poison, and it Is quite like
ly that it was cherry leaves or some
thing of the sort, usually regarded as
harmless, which caused their death.
TOBACCO CROP WILL BE
LARGE JN DECATUR COUNTY
BAINBRIDGE. Ga., April 25.—The
unusually heavy rains that have pre
vailed in this section for the past
week have done a great deal of dam
age to growing crops. The tobacco
crop is suffering most and planters
say that unless they have dry weath
er the crop will be totally ruined.
With favorable conditions, the to
bacco crop in Decatur County this
year will be the largest in years. The
acreage in tobacco this year over last,
shows a large increase, but despite
this fact the prices being paid on con
tract for the year's crop is higher than
ever before. One dollar per pound is
being offered for good shade tobacco.
Contracts have already been signed
for the larger part of the crop, but
there are still a few planters who are
holding out for higher prices.

POLICE SWOOPED D0W9
00 LOITERERS IH CITY
The police department made a deter
mined effort to break up loitering last
night, and at midnight had succeeded in
copping over 30 loiterers, mostly of whom
were negroes, about evenly divided oe-
tween male and female.
Coincident!)*, not a single arrest was
made on Bridge Row. the scene of the
raid by Lieut. Moseley’s squad several
nights ago. It being supposed that the
“unemployed” in that locality profited by
the experience of the few nights before
and hied themselves to a more secluded
parts.
■United States Commissioner W. E.
Martin last night bound over A. M.

William Mitchell, all negroes, for con
spiracy to defraud the Government In
the matter of illicit distilling Of liquors.

WAS GREAT SUCCESS
The great musical festival is over.
Those wn6 attended tho last two con
certs of the festival which took place yes
terday. came expecting great things oftei
having heard the performance on Tuesday
evenin**. but these Inst two performances
far surpassed their most sanguine ex
pectations
The afternoon concert, which was
given by the orchestra and soloists, was
so far superior to anything ever heard In
Macon that the enthusiasm of the audi
ence knew no bounds, everything was
encored most heartily, each of the so
loists being recalled three and four times,
while the orchestra was compelled to re
paid tax, and that the others were spond several times, the largo, audience
implicated with him in the distilling refusing to be satisfied with the bows of v
of. dispensing and hauling, of the
whisky.
Commissioner Martin accordingly
bound them over. Hill and Tiirnet be
ing placed under a $700 bond and
Mitchell and Hecker under a $500
bond.
The raid was made in Richmond
County, near Augusta, and is on" of
the largest ever made by the Govern
ment officials.
Those behind the big horse show are
working energetically for its success. The
work of laying out the course and paddox
is being rapidly pushed, and from the
Outlook the one-seventh mile track will
be a Clever piece of workmanship. The j times, but never heard it sung better, and
breaking of the track niong the sharper J never expected to.
turns will take some time, and the ar- j air. William Noyes outdid hb

their way Into the hearts of the people
who were present. They cannot in any
way be compared to any singers Whs
have appeared In our city, and It Is s«fo
to assert that no quhrtette of singers who
may visit us in tho future can ever sur
pass them.
The evening performance, which con
sisted of Cowell’s cantata. “The Rose
Maiden," was a fitting climax for this
festal occasion; the soloists, chorus nnd
orchestra rose to great heights in theli
interpretation of this beautiful work.
Miss Chambers’ fine, rich voice and
dramatic singing hot only sustained the
impression of her former appearance®, but
gave her additional laurels.
Miss Maxwell has a resonant contralto
voice of great warmth and color, and is
not unlike Madame Louise Homers. She
is destined to take great parts.
Mr. John Bland's robust voice wftfc a
revelation to the people of Macon. H.> in
a great artist, and his finished work was
highly appreciated by our musical connois
seurs: among other things he sang was
the “Swan, Song." from Lohengrin, re
