A Chicago dispatch a few days
ago stated that there had arrived
iu that city a millionaire Hindoo
indigo merchant of the name of
Advani, who has won the heart
and hand of Miss Virginia Tyler
Hudson, a direct descendant of
President Tyler, and that they
would soon be married. According
to the story, Advani was not only
so rich that he could not count his
money, but he was a graduate of
the Bombay University and spoke
Persian, Sanscrit, Latin, English
and five native Indian tongues, and
had business houses in Bombay,
Calcutta, Bremen and London. A
day or two after this announce
ment, however, this most gorgeous
nabob was arrested as a forger.
The chief of police of Ottawa says
he is an exceptionally slick fellow,
and is wanted in half a dozen cit
ies for forgeries committed.

Tbe readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh . Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is iaken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucou surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

Miss Maud Pharr, an attractive
young miss of Atlanta, was ac
quitted by a jury in the city court
of Atlanta, upon a charge of
assault 'and battery. Miss Pharr
resented stories told about hor by
another young lady, and settled
{[he matter with a little pugilistic
argument. The jury was evidently
a wise one, and if a few more argu

would become fewer and farther

A cheap remedy for coughs and colds
is all right, but you want something
that will relieve and cure the more se

Go to a warmer and more regular cli

in all civilized countries with success
in severe throat and lung troubles,
“Boscbee’s German Syrup." It not

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 0. 1899.
CONDITIONS IN ( VIVA.
Havana, Sept 80. — TheEpoca,
describing the present situation in
Cuba, says: •
“There are 200,000 Spaniards in
the island with the greater part of
the little wealth which the coun
try possesses. Their only offense is
that they were receutly in the po
litical saddle as tho rulers of the
land They still possess much in
fluence. There are 500,000 men of
the African race among us, former
slaves or the decendants of slavis.
These are fully cor.vioced that
they contributed the lion’s share
toward making the revolution a
success, and they are just aB well
satisfied that in the hour of victo
ry they have been awarded no
part, of the spoils. There are 500,-
000 white Cubans. Yet what re
mains to them but a few abandon
ed plantations and a limited num
ber of unfenced cattle ranches
without stock? There are 2,IKK)
lawyers and 4,000 doctors. Are
these the social and economical
eleineuts with which Cuba expects
to form a nation and construct au
independent republic?
“Our floating middle class, with
all its persoual characteristics, is
brokeu down. Our aristocritia are
demagogues, too proud to work
and sincerely believing that the
government owes them a living.
Our banks are in the hands of for
eigners, and the Cuban merchant,
marine is owned and sailed by
foreigners.”
The Patria says: “Whatever the
reasons the Cuban league and the
Cuban national party have for
keeping themselves distinct should
be laid aside. The two organiza
tions ought to amalgamate ”
Cubans who are well informed
as to local politics say many mem
bers of the national party are re
ally determined to push Gen.
Maximo Gomez to the front as
soon as an opportune moment ar
rives.
It is also asserted that Gualber
to Gomez will hold off until all
thought of Maximo Gomez as a
common leader is absolutely re
pudiated.
Congressman R. B. Hawley, rep
resenting American capitalists,
has purchased the Tinguaro sugar
estate, one of the largest in Cuba,
in the province of Mat.anza. The
estate includes 20,000 acres which,
with other large properties aloug
the south coast that Mr. Hawley
is arranging for, will, it is expected,
produce 100,000,000 pounds of su
gar. A large part of the land pur.
chased is virgin soil, upon which
$1,500,000 will be expended, in
cluding the cost of improvement.
COTTON GOING UP.
The most gratifying news to the
South which has gone abroad in
the land for many a long day is
the announcement that the price
of cotton has taken an upward
turn.
The best of all is that the ad
vance has come while the staple is
still in the hands of men who
made it, and consequently the
farmer and not the speculator, will
reap the advantage. Those best
qualified to know, have held for
several weeks that this year’s cot
ton yield was bound to fall far be
low that of the two previous years,
and that this, coupled with the un
paralleled demand for the man
ufactured goods at prices very ctin
siderbly above the level of the cost
of the raw material was bound
sooner or later to result in a high
er range of prices for cotton. De
ceived by the estimate of Mr. Neill
of a crop topping 12,000,000 for
eign spinners have held out of the
market for a long time and the
natural and inevitable advance
was thus delayed.
At last, however, the most skep
tical Lancashire spinners seem to
be convinced that they will not be
able to secure supplies at lower
figures thau are now prevailing,
and have joined in the buying
movement.
The Southern spinners have re
alized the situation for some little
time, and as The Telegraph has
told, have been quietly purchasing
their year’s supplies as. rapidly as
possible.
It may be expected that there
will be fluctuations in the price of
the staple from time to time, but
all the indications point to a ris
ing market for the South’s great
staple until its price has found the
natural level which comes from
a comparatively short crop
and a largely increaseddemand. —

A DISGUSTING PRACTICE.
Editor Bell, of the Wireglass
; Blade, rakes over some ot his con
| temporaries who “sandwich” nows
1 ind medicine ads., and gives this
as a sample of the average “local”
column in the average country
weekly:
Tom Squills took a fresh chew of
t 'bacco a few days ago, w hich very
much pleased his manv admirers.
Take a dose of spirits turpentine
for earthly ills.
Mrs. Brown’s speckled Iron laid
quite a number of eggs during the
past summer, and strange to say
many of them that have receutly
been examined have been found
unsound.
If you are beginning to feel sick
take a dose of castor oil.
Bill Dixon’s coon dog recently
treed a tremendous ring tail up a
high pine.
For that tired feeling, take a
box of purgatory pills.
A number of people have consen
ted to report for this column.
We’ll give their names next week.
When you feel like you want to
vomit, read a few lines in the per
sonal column of the paper that
is filled with medical advertise
ments
Editor Bell truly says that noth
ing is more disgusting to a news
paper r-ader than to have to wade
througli a solid column of nause
ating medicine advertisements in
order to cull out a few paragraphs
of local news. Hs says that au ed
itor who has no more respect for
his readers, especially for the la
dies, than to intersperse his“per
soiml’’ columns with such things,
ought to ask himself, "Is it right?”
What a mild “ought to” you
prescribe, Brother Bell. We go a
step farther, and say he“ought to”
so off and kick himself; and, if his
inking apparatus is out of gear,
he might get a champion football
player to do the job for him.—Dal
ton Argus.
A Disastrous Worm.
Mr. W. M. Scott, the state en
tomologist, has been oi, a visit to
Rev, H. W, Williams in Elberton
and while here discovered the
prevalance of a very bad pest, the
fall army worm, or southern grass
worm, whose technical name is la
phygma frugiperda. On Dr. A.
Oliver’s lawn and rn other places
about town they are to be found in
great numbers. Unless extermi
nated they may prove very hurt
ful to the gardens and even to
crops throughout the country. As
a remedy we reepmmend that four
ounces of Paris green in twenty
five gallons of water be sprayed on
the affected territory with a spray
pump, or, in the country where the
area is too great to be sprayed,
that the land be turned under,
thereby preventing their coming to
maturity.
Mr. Scott and Mr. Williams,
the pastor of the Baptist church,
are natives of the same communi
ty in Virginia, their fathers still,
living in half mile of each other
and it was no doubt a rare pleas
ure for them to spend a few days
together.—Elberton Star.
Distinction in Umbrellas
It is ny new thing to hear that
China was ahead of the rest of the
world in invention. Even the um
brella owes its existence, we are
told, to the genius of the Chinese
or Japanese. Jt is said to have
been copied from a shade-giving
tree, and at first received the same
veneration accorded to the tree of
which it was a copy.
Great dignitaries were allowed
to appear in public seated under
umbrella canopies, and later these
canopies were made portable, un
til a regular series of court regula
tions for the carriage of umbrellas
became necessary. By the umbrel
la a Chinese gentleman is allowed
to carry, one who is iuitated can
tell his rank. The common people
may use an umbrella if it is not
made of cloth or silk, but ouly of
paper.
If in China one sens a procession
headed by two enormous silk um
brellas, he may be assured that a
governor -general of a province or
a military officer of the first rank
is coming behind them.
The grandeur of a royal proces
sion or religious demonstration is
denoted by the number of umbrel
las which are carried. It is said
that formerly, when the emperor
went hunting, he had to be pre
ceeded by twenty-four umbrellas.
It hardly seems as if the hunt
could have been very successful.
Women Should Know It-
Many women suffer untold agony and
misery becuuse the nature of their disease
is not correctly undeistood. They have
been led to believe that womb trouble or
female weakness of some sort is respon
sible for the many ills that beset woman
kind. , , ,
Neguralgia, nerveousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheu
matism, a dragging pain or dull ache in
the hack, weakness or hearing-down
sensation, profuse or scanty supply of
urine with strong odor, frequent desire to
pass it with scalding and burning sensa
tion, sediment in it after standing in bot
tle or common glass for twenty-four
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder
trouble.
The above symptons are often attribut
ed by the patient herself or by her physi
cian to female weakness or womb trouble
Hence so msny fail to obtain relief, be
cause they are treating not the disease
itself hut a rcttection of the primary
cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder trou
ble and both need the same remedy.
Or. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is the great
discovery of the emineut kidney and blad
der specialist, and is easy to get at any
drug store for fifty cents or one dollar.
To prove its wonderfuf merits you may
have a sample bottle and book telling all
about it both sent absolutely free bv mail
Kindly mention'The l.awrencevill News-
Herald and send address to Dr Kilmer &

A Good Buie to Enforce.
The Hartford Cournnt and
Springfield Republican ure advo
cating with considerable earnest
ness the establishment and en
forcement of a rule to make pas
sengers on railroad cars get on the
car at one end and get off at the
other. It will readily be seen that
if people learn to enter cars at the
rear and leave thsm at the front,
those getting on and those getting
off will not get in each other’s way,
the operation can ho much hasten
ed and a good deal of discomfort
avoided. Much time also will be
saved. Most railroad men admit
that the idea is a good one, and it
seems only to await the enterprise
of some company to start it. A no
tice in the cars to leave by the
front exit would settle that part
of it before long, and the brake
man standing at the car steps
could regulate the entrance. It
would be a most sensible reform,
and before a mouth had gone by
every one would be looking with
contempt upon the stupid indi
vidual who through ignorance
transgressed the established hab
it. —Waterbury American.

sembles iron mining in the Lake
Superior region, from the fact that
the metal is not visible to the
naked eye in the form of grains or
nuggets, but is distributed sparse
ly through the matrix or earth,
and if the ore contains one ounce
of gold to the ton it is considered
lioh. In order to recover the pre
cious metal thus disseminated
complicated metallurgical process
es are necessary and very costly
machinery is required. The invest
ment of British capital in the
mines must be stupendous in
amount.

Waste of water in the pipes is a
crying and chronic evil in the
American cities. The more waste
the easier the pretended demon
stration of insufficiency, and the
richer the returns to corporate
greed when it is in control of
sources of water supply. New York
city uses about 110 gallons of wa
tsr, daily for every resident; the
actual amount required is about
twenty seven gallons per capita.
Nearly eighty gallons a day per
head of population is wasted in
one way or another. In England
and in Europe, where the matter
of supplying municipalities with
water has been reduced almost to
on exact science, the daily allow
ance per head varies from fifteen
gallons in Vienna to forty-two gal
lons in Pari*. In St Petersburg the
uveruge is twenty-two gallons per
head, in Berlin eighteen gallons,
in London thirty-eight gallons. In
comparison with these figures the
liberal supply of most American
cities seem almost like extrava
gance.
QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flour still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmoth
ers never thought of using anything
else for Indigestion or Biliousness
Doctors were scarce, aud they seldom
heared of Appendecitis, Nervous Pros
tration or Heart Failure, etc They
used August Flower to clean out the
svstem and stop fermentation of undi
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organ
ic action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches aud other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s Au
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. Sample bottles at

The navy department has issued
an order to place metal furniture
on the cruiser Atlanta The plac
ing of metal furniture ou a United
States cruiser is an experiment
which grows out of the experience
of the navy during the Spanish-
American war It was found that
the presence of the wooden furni
ture üboardthe warship during the
late wur was a most serious men
ace to the men. More injury was
done by the Hying splinters than
was done directly by the shells of
the enemy. Admiral Dewey had a
thorough appreciation rs the dan
ger from this source, and before
ordering his squadron into the bat
tie at Munila bay he had every
piece of wooden furniture on the
vessel cast overboard. The recom
mendation to put metal furniture
aboard the warships to take the
> place of wooden furniture was
made by Constructor Bowles. The
trial will be made on the Atlanta,
f and if the experiment proves a
success metal furniture will sup
’ plant the wooden furniture on all
the American warships.

Who have scrofula taints iu their blood, anil
who has not * Scrofula in all its forms is cured
by Hood’s Sarsaparilla which thoroughly pu
rities the blood. This disease, which frequent
ly appears in children, is greatly to be dreaded.
It is most likely to affect the glands of neck,
which become enlarged, eruptions appear on
the beat! aud face, and the eyes ure frequently
affected. Upon its first appearance, perhaps
in slight eruptions or pimples, scrofula should
be entirely eradicated from the system by a
thorough course of Mood’s .Sarsaparilla to pre
