row afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, on the

Eev. J. H. Little Appointed.
Rev. J. H. Little, who has been as
sisting in the meeting at the First
Methodist church received a letter
Wednesday from Bishop Galloway no
tifying him of his appointment to the
pastorate of the Battle H?P circuit at
Atlanta, and the removal of Rev. W. J.
Wood who has gained such an unenvi
able notoriety on account of the scan
dal involving his wife and Rev. J. T.
Gibson. The letter does not state the
cause of the removal of ilev. Mr. »\ood
but it is supposed to be that the con
ference will not allow a minister to re
main a member, whose wife is alleged
to be guilty of immorality and whose
character is not above suspicion. It is
•upposed that Rev. Mr. Wood will be
silenced by the conference and not al
lowed to preach any more. Rev.»Mr.
Little has been engaged in Conference
evangelistic work for a long time but
will now give it up and take pastorate
duties on a regular charge.

Card From Mr. Bell.
To the Candidates for the Legislature and
County Offices!
Gentlemen: Since the executive com
mittee has seen proper not to couple
our county primary with that of the
gubernatorial election I respectfully
ask each of you who have announced
and those who will follow, (except can
didates for coroner and surveyor,) to
join me in asking the chairman and
several committeemen to estimate the
total expense of the primary and assess
each of us our pro-rata, and that we
pay this at such time as may be sug
gested by the chairman and committee
and thereby save the taxpayers of the
county this expense. In excluding
candidates for coroner and surveyor T
do so because the pay of these offices is
such as would not warrant them in
paying any part of the expense.
Very respectfully,
THOMAS M. BELL.

week for his services to the New
York Journal. The Press further
says, quoting Mr. Lewis as its au
thority, that Mr. Hearst is spend
ing more than $6,000,000 a year on
his paper. Evidently there is big
money in yellow journalism for
somebody.

tome Interesting Notes About Duels ml
the Practice of Dueling.
Even in Germany the popularity oi
the duel is open to some doubt Its ex
istence is dne not so much to a desire
for a combat as of fear what people will
say if there is no fight. There have been
noted duelists who were always ready
for a fray, and when they entered a
drawing room women quailed and hoped
it would not be their husbands or lovers
who would be so unlucky as to excite
the ire of the men of blood.
During the occupation of Paris by the
allies there were duels every day, the
Frenchmen usually being the challen
gers and the victors, as they were very
skillful with the small sword. Some
times, however, they made a mistake,
as when they jeered at an English officer
over losing his leg at Waterloo. The
jeerer discovered that the loss of his leg
did not interfere in the least with the
Englishman’s aim.
There have been exceptions to the
mania for fighting at any price. An
English captain, challenged by a
Frenchman, had the choice of weapons
and chose pistols. The Frenchman de
clared he would fight with nothing but
the sword, and interested friends finally
compromised on lances, on horseback.
The combat naturally attracted much
attention. A great crowd witnessed the
duel. One man received three ugly
prods, but finally killed his antagonist.
No duelist could ever be made smile
over the famous story of the Englishman
and Frenchman who were to fight a
duel in a pitch dark room. Not wishing
to kill his man, the Englishman fired
up the chimney when the word was
given, and, to his surprise, brought
down the Frenchman, who had hidden
there. When this story is told in France,
it is always the Englishman who is up
the chimney.
Fighting Fitzgerald was successful in
18 duels before it was discovered that
he always wore a coat of maiL Foi
years his fame in society had rested on
his invariable success as a duelist, and
this discovery was his undoing. A cer
tain major in fighting him objected
when bis sword snapped on a heart
thrust and demanded an investigation.
He was afterward hanged in Ireland for
murdering a neighbor.
The most tragic dnel in England was
between Lord Byron, granduncle of the
poet, and a kinsman. It was fought in
a tavern room by the light of one tallow
candle. Lord Byron was tried for mur
der. but got off on manslaughter, from
the penalties of which he escaped be
cause he was a peer of the realm. Thi*
safeguard of peers was done away with
only during the present ^ign.—Ohicajr*

A NEW TRIUMPH.
The Dreaded Consumption Can
Be Cured.
T. A. Slocum, the Great Chemist and
Scientist, will Send to Sufferers
Three Free Bottles of His Newly
Discovered Remedies to
Cure Consumption and
all Lung Troubles. *
Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more joy to the afflict
ed than the generous offer of the hon
ored and distinguished chemist, T. A.
Slocum, M. C., of New York City.
He has discovered a reliable and
absolute cure for consumption and all
bronchial, throat, lung and chest dis
eases, catarrhal affections, general
decline and weakness, loss of flesh and
all conditions of wasting away; and to
make its great merits known, we will
send three free bottles of his newly
discovered remedies to any "afflicted
reader of The Georgia Cracker.
Already his “new scientific system of
medicine” has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it not only his
professional, but his religious duty—a
duty which he owes to suffering human
ity—to donate his infalible cure.
He has proved the “dreaded con
sumption” to be a curable disease be
yond a doubt, m any climate, and has
on file in his American and European
laboratories thousands of “heartfelt
testimonials of gratitude” from those
benefited.
Catarrhal and pulmonary troubles
lead to consumption, and consumption
uninterrupted, means speedy and cer
tain death. Don’t delay until it is too
late. Simply write T. A. Slocum, M.
C., 98 Pine street, New York, giving ex
press and post-office address, and the
free medicine will be promptly sent.
Please tell the Doctor you saw his offer
in The Georgia Cracker.
