The dastardly crime was done at about 4 o’clock, during an informal reception in the temple of music, ex position park. The name of the assassin is Leon - j Czolgosz, alias Fred Nieman,a black- Oopies of this, paper may be found on smith, of Detroit, Mich., of German- parentage. He declared Mm- N. W., Washington, D. C. self an anarchist, and said he had done his duty. He approached the president as if to greet him with a hand-shake, and it was noticed that his right; hand was covered with a white handker chief. When within two feet of the president two pistol shots were fired, and it was soon ascertained that both bullets struck Mr. McKinley, ope lodging against the breast bone, the other entering the abdomen, slightly to the left of the navel, pass ing through the bowels. Directly two detectives and a ne gro waiter named Parkei, grasped the assassin, and in the struggle the negro used his fists with such force as to jbreak the nose and dislodge several teeth of the vile wretch. But for the quick work of the police and other officials in taking the assassin to police barracks, there would have been a lynching. The dastardly deed horrified the world, and messages of condolence were forwarded from all sections of this country, and from European cities. President McKinley was carried to the ^hcme of John G. Milbum, president of the Pan-American Ex position, where Mrs. McKinley was at the time of the shooting, The President himself extracted with his fingers the bullet that struck the breast-bone, but the oth er could rot be located. Vice President Roosvelt and sev eral members of the cabinet hasten ed to Buffalo and are there now, Eminent surgeons are in constant attendance. The wound in the abdomen was at once recognized as exceedingly dangerous and fear of a fatal result was entertained. Improvement has been been steady, though slow, and it is now believed the President will recover. The assassin is 28 years of age, unmarried, fair complexion and blue eyes, beardless, 5 feet inches in height and weighs 150 pounds, — As the associated press and the Mb.

All farm supplies will be high next year, on account of the short crops an the west. Fabmebs who go to Macon in their wagons, or send cotton and other produce there to be sold,will be very, much discommoded if the city coun cil forbids the use of the middle of Poplar street as a wagon park. —— Tebbell county people will not pay any county tax this year. Of this fact the Dawson News says: ‘“The several thousand dollars in the treasury and the proceeds of the dis pensary this year will pay all the •county’s expenses.” .

Evebv notable event must have an Atlanta connection, else the Gate City assertiveness will suffer humili ation. Now it is claimed that the negro waiter who broke the nose of the assailant of President McKinley at Buffalo is a native of Atlanta. The anarchist who attempted to kill President McKinley declares that he committed the deed of his own accord, without the advice or assistance of anyone. However, it is ^believed there was a plot, and sever al arrests have been made in Buffa lo, Chicago and elsewhere. Cotton is being destroyed by a new disease in Alabama as well as in many Georgia counties. In speaking of some stalks of cotton afflicted that grew in Terrell county, the Dawson News says: “The stalks were dying from the top, the roots being in seemingly perfect condition. The bark peels off readily, exposing the wood, which is not only dark in ap pearance, but has a slightly shiny /ana greasy sensation to the touch.”- *-•-* ■■ j The Blue Ridge and Tallulah Falls Exposition will be opened at Tallu lah Falls next Tueskay, 17th insfc, and continue four days.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR. ‘‘Something New Under the Sun.” All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh by the use of powders, acid gases, inhal ers and drugs in paste form. Their pow ders dry up the mucous membranes, causing them to crack open and bleed ^ The powerful acids used in the inhalers have entirely eaten away the same mem branes that their makers have aimed to cure, while the pastes and ointments can not reach the disease. An old and expe rienced practitioner who has for many years made a close study and specialty of the treatment of (Catarrh, has at last . — perfected a treatment which, when faith- He I fully u.-ed, not only relieves once, but B.

BAILET & POSTELL, -DEALERS IN- —-The measure of success to be attained by the Houston county fair will depend upon the earnest activity of the district vice presi dent and their committees, J might be called good looking. His crime is most atrocious, and igno minious death should be his portion without unnecessary delay.- A Condition, Not a Theory. Just now it is a condition, not a theory, that confronts the city coun cil of Macon concerning the use of the middle portion of Poplar street. It is known to all who see that city that the streets are unusually wide, and that some of them, nota bly Third and Mulberry, have been converted into grass-sodded parks between the roadways. Recently, during the absence of Mayor Smith, an ordinance to abol ish the parks on Third street was in troduced. Instead of passing this ordinance, one to make similar parks on Poplar street was introduced. For years the middle of this street has been used by farmers visiting the city with cotton and other pro duce as au open wagon yard. The warehouses in the cotton seasons al so used this space to “turn out”their cotton bales just before shipping. This now is the condition, and the business men of Poplar street are contending against the proposed ac tion of city council. Of course it would be much more aesthetic for grass parks to displace the wagon parks on Poplar street, but the farmers don’t want to “go to grass” when they visit Macon, espe cially when they can’t Use it, and must be continually worried to“keep off the grass.” The case as present ed is “Beauty vs. Utility.” With hundreds of wagons seen daily on this street, the evidence of much business is before the eyes of every one, and the farmers are ac corded a great convenience. This is not an eye-sore to any except the super-sensitive lover of native ver dure. To take from the farmers this privilege might add to the beauty of the street, but it would seriously in terfere with, the convenience of many valuable customers, and many of them might remember it to the bus iness disadvantage of Macon.. permanently eures Catarrh, by remov ing the cause, stopping the discharges and curing all inflammation.
