in Conlinas, Cnba, left by two great

heirs have employed attorneys at

anil only brought SI,OOO at public out

two mortgages held by Messrs. George
Dudley and Ellison Stone. Tho three
purchasers were the largest stockhold

hold tho paper until they can sell or

been the lessee of tho paper for tho

The early elmrti rs of steamers at
Savannah for the coming season open
ing in September and October, espec
ially the shipments of cotton, would
indicate a cheap rute of freight for
early shipments. Just what effect,
however, the present eastern embrog
iio will have on tho freight market for
the rail and water business has notyot
made itself apparent. It is more than
likely that there will be a large
amount of tonnage required to carry
war supplies to tin; east, and in coubc
qnence of this anticipation rates for
steam vessels are more than apt to
firm up some, and higher rates for De
cemher and November shipments will
be tho rule. Exports of cotton will
also be very late the coming season,
owing to the backwardness of the
crop, which has been retarded by
rains aud cool nights. Last season
the Srst bales hud already come to
lmnd in July, but thus far there are
not even any advices oi new baleß for
the Savannah market.
State Dairymen’s Association.
The dairymen of Georgia aud others

tho starting point, ask tho ticket agent
for a receipted certificate. This will
afford a good opportunity for any otie
to visit tho experiment station and
farms, etc., whether specially inter

prescribed. A considerable number
have already notified Director Redding
that they will attend. For any further

Gov. Nort lien’s Future.
Governor Northen will devote his
time and liis talents to the immigration
business in Georgia when he retires
from the office of governor. He has
not made any announcement yet, hut
from what ho lias said to his friends
his future work will be in th s direc
tion. It was thought that ho would re
turn to the school room, for ho has
stated that he would rather teaeli than
to do anything else, but this idea has
been dissipated by his declining the
presidency of a collego in a neighbor
ing state. It is understood that he
wus offered a salary of $2,500 to act as
president of this college which has 500
pupils. The duties were very light aud
he could have had ample time for other
work.
The governor, when asked about the
report, admitted that it was true, but
refused to give the name of the col
lege or to say anything about it except
that it is in a neighboring state.
The governor’s reputation is by no
means bounded by state lines. The
great burden upon the governor’s mind
at this time is how to attract desirable
immigrants to Georgia. Everything
has had a tendency to force him into
this work, and when asked if he would
devote his future to it, he replied that
the time was not yet ripe to talk
about it.
Northeast Georgia.
The series of letters concerning
northeast Georgia, have been appear
ing in the Atlanta Constitution and
have been read with mueh interest.
The purpose was to show what an em
pire of territory lies between the Ma
rietta and North Georgia and the
ltichmond and Danville railroads.
Within this area there are miniug and
agricultural possibilities practically
unlimited. What is needed to develop
them is more railroada nnd good coun
try roads. First-class roads crossing
that entire section, leading out
to Dalton, Cartersville, Marietta, At
lanta, Canton and Gainesville, and
touching the various county sites by
the way, would be one of the best in
vestments the state could make.
The people of northeast Georgia are
shrewd, intelligent nnd active. It
given but half a chance they would
convert that entire sect on into a gar
d in. With good country roada, so
th it farmers could reach a market, the
reign of the moonshiner would bo
gone. The people are not naturally
disposed to violate the revenue laws,
but the utter impossibility of market
ing their crops forces them to do
something. They have debts to pay
and tones to meet, for which money is
needed, and the money thi'y must
have, though the resort is dangerous.
It is unfortunate that the era of
state aid to railroads should have been
brought to a close before this fertile
aud productive section could have
reaped ecpial benefits with other sec
tions. Almost by an accident the Ma
rietta and North Georgia was slipped
in. otln raise the undeveloped terri
tory would have been mm b larger,
t’ut northeast Georgia’s day is com
ing. It cannot be much longer de

To Restrict tho Sale of Poisons.
Again the restriction of the sale of
poisons and narcotic drugs is being
prominently brought before the public.
Messrs. Austin A Park, nttorneyg, of
Atlanta, representing the state board
of pharmacy, have sent the following
circular to a good many grocery stores
in tho state, notifying them that they
will be prosecuted if cases of violating
the law can be made out against them.
The following is the circular;
“To regulate the sale of poisons in
this state.
“Section 1. It shall be unlawfnl for
any person to furnish by retail any
poisons enumerated in schedules A
and B, as follows:
Sf'HEDrLR A.
“Arsenic—Fowler's solution, I> no

ammonia. Acid—Prussic. Mercury—
Iliniodie, corrosive sublimate, red pre

lutions, oil bitter almonds. Opium—

tincture oil acetate, fluid and solid ex
tract of potassium cyanide. Stryoh
uine—Sulphate, muriate. Alkaloids—
Aconitia, atropia, brucin, codeia, co

“Aconite—Belladonna, cantharides,

croton oil, chromic acid, muriaticncid,
nitric acid, nitrous acid, nitro-muriatic
acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid,
Biilphuric acid, sulphurous acid, sul
phate of sine.’’
It is a misdemeanor to violate the
above law and is punishable by a fine
not exceeding SI,OOO. The above ex
tract of the law shows tho medicines
that cau only be sold by a registered
druggist or pharmacist. The recent
suicides throughout the state have
brought about this action.
SCOTT AND BKI.K ACQUITTED.
The Detective and Sehamber Are
Now in a Bad Box.
A Meridian, Miss., special says:
The courtroom was packed and
jammed Saturday morning by repre
sentative citizens, who congregated
there to hear the argument in the cel
ebrated arson case, in which Robert
Belk aud Dudley Scott were charged
and triod far setting fire to the public
school building with the ptirposo of
burning the town. During the trial
statements Were made and proven by
the defendants that Horne, the detec
tive, planned the scheme for the pur
poso of getting a largo reward and
engaged Sehamber as a decoy, and
that the defendants were made drunk
and hauled to the school building and
there captured.
The jury, after remaining out but a
few minutes, returned a verdict of not
guilty. Scott was released from cus
tody, while Belk, who has another
charge of arson against him, gave a
botid in tho sum of SI,OOO for his ap
pearance at tho January term of court.
Sehamber, who hns two indictments
for arson against him, will be tried in
January next.
DARLINGTON ITES ARRESTED.
Four of Them Charge*! with the Mur

twelve prominent eitizens of Darling-*
ton for participation iu the whiskey
riot there last spring. The arrests
were made by State Detective New
bold. Charles McCullough, L. A.
Noxment, K. D. Lucas and

Norment aud J. H. Edmunds were re
arrested for shooting into a truiu in
which the constables were. They all

The attorney general says tho cases
will be pushed to the end.
DIVIDENDS GONE GLIMMERING.

STREET RAILROAD CONVENTION
It Will Meet On October ltlth Next In

assembled in tho city. Speaking of
the National Street Railway associa

in its August number that every city
in the United States, except two, that
had a system, would be represented.
The Dispenser Liberated.
At Spartanburg, S. C., Judge Watts,
of the seventh district, released Dis
penser Langston, of Laurens, arrested
by the Laurens municipal authorities
fur selling whisky without a license as
a dispenser. Judge Watts found that
tho dispensary act of 1893 was consti

the state and that it has not been de
clared unconstitutional by the supreme
court.

How to Detect Oleo.
Dr. Leffman, a Philadelphia chem
ist, recommends the following test for
detecting oleomargarine ; “Place some
of the questionable butter in a tin enp,
about tho size of a tea-cup, heat it,
and if when quite hot it spntters and
flies, like lard does when it is frying,
and if salt gathers on the top, yon cau
believe it is oleomargarine. Butter,
on the other hand, will not sputter nor
fly, nor will salt gather on the top;
butter will foam up until it runs over.”
All of which can be read and inwardly
digested by the proprietors of all res
taurants, probably much to their prof
it and advantage.
A New Sleep Theory.
A foreign scientist, whom tho ac
count says is “a man of international
reputation,” offers a brand new theory
of the cause of sleep. He believes the
fatigue of tho nervous system which
leads to this condition of tho body to
bo duo to an increase of the water
holding power of the nerve cells. This
being the case, the greater the ability
of the Cells to hold water, the less the
nervous irritability of the individual.
He further says that tho sleeping indi
vidual is easily awakened ns soon as
the major portion of water has been
eliminated by the “sleep process.”

Catching Qualities.
On one occasion, when Capt. Baby
Anderson’s aggregation of Chicago
oolts were leaving one of the cities
where they had been giving an imita
tion of playing ball, the gentleman who
stands behind the bat when his side is
in the field, was left at the hotel and
he made a run for the railway station,
which was only a short distance away.
In his flight he passed a cigar store,
where several baseball cranks and oth
ers were congregated.
“It will bo a genuine surprise to
everybody if he catches that train,”
said one of tho cranks.
“Why’” asked a man who was not a
baseball crank. “What do yon mean?
Who is he?”
“He’s the catcher for tho Chicago
club.” —Detroit Free Press.
How to Control a Sneeze.
Sneezing may be averted by press
ing firmly upon the upper lip with the
fingers. Tho “why” of this is that by
so doing we deuden the impression
made on a certain branch of tho “fifth
nerve,” sneezing being a reflex action
excitod by some slight impression
made upou that nerve. Proof of this
is seen in the fact that sneezing never
takes place when the nerve mentioned
is paralyzed, even though the sense of
smell be fully retained.

A Valuable Discovery.
Mexican 'qbaces announce that a
discovery of iwT %jt scientific interest
has been madMO excavations being
carried on in of Tlaxiaco,
state of Oaxaefe*
A number ofsmall images, formed
in metal, were uncovered by
digging in one of the oldest rnuj^Wro
These images areltßiclto
people of oriental
Chinese or Japanese dress —some or
them resembling Bndhist priests in
their robes of sacrifice. They bear
hieroglyphics of unknown characters,
and are elaborately wrought with fine
art lines shown in every curve. The
images are of gold, either wholly or
in part, and are coated with some un
known enamel, which has preserved
them splendidly. They are to be sent
to the city of Mexico and placed at
the disposal of the scientific world for
further study and discussion.
The find is believed to be the most
important of the year in the domain
of antiquities, aud preparations arc
now being made, I understand, to con
duct a complete exploration of the
Tlaxiaco ruins for further evidence of
this ancient civilization, which flour
ished in southern Mexico and Guate
mala centuries before the arrival of
the Spanish conquerors.
The Question of Ivory.
The ivory question is important, be
cause ivory is the wealth of the slave
trader far more than are' his slaves.
Ivory is now found almost exclusively
in the Congo state. The elephant is
exterminated in Uganda and in Nyasa
land. Somo 500 tons of ivory reach
London yearly, but the supply is de
creasing. It is estimated that 75,000
elephants are being killed every year,
and if this is true even the Congo
herds cannot long survive such
slaughter.
It is generally agreed that as the
she elephant has only one calf every
two or three years the destruction is
going on much faster than the breed
ing. Meanwhile it is to be remem
bered that ivory is essentially a slave
trade product and comes from the
land of Tippu Tib. The sale of arms
aud ammunition must be prevented
from all sides. The sale of spirits
offers less temptation to the European
trader, because these Arabs are Mos
lems aud do not drink. —Edinburgh
Review.
A Compromise.
It was after dinner and he was say
ing sweet nothings to her out on the
piazza.
“Do you know whatl think of you?”
she asked in the pleased-reproving
tone women affect on such occa
sions.
“I hopo it is nothing bad,” he an
swered, after the manner of men when
that question is put to them.
“Well, I think you are a hollow
mockery.”
He folded his hands across himself
composedly.
“A mockery, possibly,”he admitted,
“but not hollow,” and then the lights
went out in the dining room. —Detroit
Free Press.
A Salmagundi Party.
As tbe word implies, a salmagundi
party is one in which a variety of
forms of entertainment is sought and
may include games, cards, daticiug,
etc. At a salmagundi party held in
New York cooking was a form of en
tertainment, each guest being called
upon to prepare some dish for supper.

Tennyson could take a worthless
sheet of paper, write a poem upon it
and make it worth $35,000 —that’s ge
nius. Vanderbilt can write a few
words on a sheet of paper and mnke it
worth ss,ooo,ooo—that's capital. The
United States can take an ounce and a
quarter of gold and stamp on it an
eagle "bird” and make it worth $20 —
jfcat’s money. A mechanic can take
material worth $5 aud make it into
watch springs worth SI,OO0 —that’s
skill. A merchant can take an article
worth 75 cents and sell it for $1
that’s business. A lady can purchase
a 75 cent hat, but she prefers one that
costs $27 —that’s foolishness. A ditch,
digger works ten hours n day and han
dles several tons of earth for s2—that’s
labor. The editor of this paper could
write a check for $30,000,000, but j
wouldn’t be worth a dime—-thjwr
