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. SIOO Kkwahd SIOO.

DABNEY & SONS. Dacula, Ga. 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. — Macon Telegraph.

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.

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.

Gold mining in South Africa re 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.

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.

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.
