HE IS AFTER THEM!
A man named Drdenheifer
(God save the name I) is a
member of the Louisiana legis
lature and is the author of a
bill to prohibit the wearing of
hats in theatre-. As men are
never guilty of this offense, the
bill in its practical operation
will apply to women only, Mr.
Dudenlieifer in his original bill
simply limited the size of hat
or bonnet a woman might fyear
in the theatre, but on reflection
he concluded*that women would
tind some way to evade the law
in that form. Besides, no man
could be found brave enough to
go about in a theatre measur
li g hats which were suspected
of exceei iig the legal size,
while on the dear darling’s
heads. Certainly not, if lie
knew fair and lovely woman.
Mr. Dudenlieifer. therefore
amended his bill so as to pro
hibit the wealing of any hats
at the theatre, The bill pro

TO SOUTH GEOR

SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.
Valdosta, Ga., July, 17th,
1890. — Editor Herald: Kind
ly grant me the privilege of
informing the many readers of
your widely circulated paper of
my trip down in South-West
Georgia I have had the pleas
ure of being accompanied by
niv friend, Mr. J. It. McKel

Dear reader. I have been
through some of the greatest
vineyards, orchards and farms
there is in the grand old State
of Georgia. The crops between
Macon and Valdosta areexceed
inglv good. Also the •peach,
(tears and grapes are excellent.
Tilton is one of the principal
shipping points for peaches,
pears, grapes and melons.
Cordele is another place of
interest. This is an in
fant city, and does an immense |
lumber busines. Lumber of all I
kinds are shipped from there to!
all points .of interest in the!
United States. At this infant
city 1 had tin* pleasure of meet
ing Mr. Emory'Nash, who em
barked from our town several
years ago. Mr. Nash, I find to
be a large lumber and drug
dealer and is numbered among
the best financiers in Cordele.
lie is estimated to be worth
thousands of dollars. Doubt
less many readers will remem
ber tins gentleman •
Valdosta is a middle-aged
city. The Mid-Hummer Carni
val is n nv the order of the day
and there is fully ten thousand
people here today. The city is
b autilully decorated and the
people seem to lie enjoying this
yearly occasion. Our distin
guished Governor was invited
to address the vast multitude of
people of Lowndes county here
yesterday. He responded in
his nsipij and brilliant style.
Thousands of cheers and ap
plauds went roaring up in tin
air w hen he uttered the remarks
that l|e was a loyal and a true
friend to Democracy. Gover-
nor Atkinson is greatly'admired

Because the writers say, “Hon

hope that Gwinnett will not
grow the least bit chilly and

other county in Georgia, or any
■county in Amerita, the Blue

This trip has been a profitable
one to your writer. He came
in contact with Hen. W. C. I*.
Breckinridge, Ex-Congressman
from Kentucky. He was on
his wav to Mi I led gif vi lie, Bald

jbe present and to defend his
| right hunil friend’s son, who
killed a man by tile name of j
Walter Hemphill, in a bar room
on the night of the 24th of
March last. This promises to
be one of the most interesting
trials which ever occurred in
this section of the State.
There are various other things
to reveal to my many friends
on my return to the choicest
place ot all the State, where
man can sleep early and late,
and no mosquitoes to speckle
up his face.
Politically speaking for this
county, silver has the ring.
What a pleasure to your w ri
ter when he comes in contact
" itb young men of prominence
who are located here and doing
a good business. There is Dr.
Samuel Etheridge, who came

Doctor has a splendid practice

sjmkeii nf in the highest terms.
This is another sample of Gwin

name of Gwinnett! Will the

trip forget Gwinnett when my
heart forgets to heat. Adam

race, and | would fill mine tie

As the* nightJs dark and Un

WITHIN AX INCH OFDKATH
The windows of the restau
rant were open, and the cool,
Inigra nt :«r ot the spring night
was struggling with tin* smoke
laden atmosphere of tin* room.
A glance out of doors showed
th- azure skv and tin* brilliant;
lull moon, whose glimmering
bluish rays shone through tln
young leafage of the blossoming
trees, which swayed gently* to
and fro before the window ’S Ot’ j
the light breeze. But nothing
was more remote from the!
minds of our circle, which nut
every evening at a certain table!
for social intercourse, than po-
etical ideas. Tlie topic of our
conversation was prosaic town
gossip, which, as usual, gradual
ly merged into foolish talk
about politics or discussions
concerning the Government.tln* i
theatre, high taxes, and similar
subjects..
By a connection of ideas
which I do not now recall, the
question hail arisen whether it
was creditable that a person's!
hair could suddenly turn gray!
from violent mental excite
ment. Part of the company
received the anecdotes current
about such cases with slight
doubts, while others most piti
lessly derided persons who were
simple enough to believe such
nursery tales.
Just as the conversation In
came most animated, a man of
unusual height and herculean
frame, whom we had not pre
viously noticed, rose from a
side table and approached us.
His intelligent features, which
bon* the stump ot resolution,
seemed spiritualized by tin*
large, kindly blue eyes. But
tin* most striking peculiar tv in
his appearance was the -nos
white hair and the gray b -aril
framing his face, which, at tin*
utmost, indicated an age of only*
thirty-live
“Pardon mo if I enter into
your conversation,’" In said,
bowing courteously. “You are
speaking of a subject which
great ly interest* me. I myself
am a living proof that terrible
mental sgitation really does
exert the physical influence
which you all doubt."
His words awakened tin* tit
most interest. We made room
for him at tin* table, and, alter
lie hud taken his scat, unani
mously urged him to tell ii
wluit had caused tin* whiteness
of his hair.
The stranger feigned no ui -
due modesty, hut yielded to our
entreaties and related the fol
lowing story:
‘‘lf you have ever paid any

an immense wooden bridge, a
marvel o| American nterprise,
which has a station at Cayuga

lance again, rarely inn rruptt d
even by the distant note of a
bird—all became linen durable
and inspired me with unspeak
able terror. And tin- rails! The
rails! .Mv senses tortured me.
I could not escape them. The
wooden beams trembled almost
imperceptibly from the washing
of the water. I imagined 1 felt

I heard the dull panting of the

only to throb the next instant

I here are some things gent-

One thought stood directly be
fore my mind. I must cn'denv

I was not, perhaps tin* next mo

“And I succeeded! I strained
every muscle, every sinew to
tile point of breaking. I
writhed, 1 twisted, I punted,
my Inad seemed bursting, and
after tremendous exertion,
which appeared to me to last an
eternity, though perhaps it was
only moments, I found myself
in tin* hollow between tin* rail*.
“Was 1 sale? I had not time
to consider or rejoice in niv new
hope, tor all my vital powers
were concentrated in the single
sense of hearing. In the far
j distance I distinguished, at first
I vaguely, then more and more
distinctly, tin* regular, monot
onous; dull noise which is pro
duced by tin* engine of a mov
ing locomotive. Tile awful si
lence of the night merged min
ute by minute into the still
more awful, confused jarring
sounds, the rattling and groan

tin* which was rush
ing forward at tin* mad speed of
American trains. A thousand
feet more, live hundred—all tin
terrors of tin* infernal regions
assailed me. hut not a muscle

did not even heal* mv own
voice; how should it reach | liose

“Now, tot* an infinitely brief
apace of time, I fancied t hat I
saw a bright, a blast of hot air
fanned me, then suddenly dark
ness shrouded me, | heard a
thundering roar as though the
very heavens were falling.
“Close, wry close, barely an
inch above, the monster dashed
over me—l wus safe. Still half
unconscious, I heard a deafen
ing rumbling and clattering,
and saw shadowy masses flit hv,
there was another moment of
mortal dread—the hook of a
chain which hung lower than
the rest caught me, dragged me
along a few feet and finally
tore u large piece from the

—then every object duncM
around me, the moon, tin*

“When I regained my con

HOT WEATHER HINTS.
'l ake a sponge bath before re
tiring and you will sleep better.
In hot weather it is better to
use tobacco for its only b-giti
mut ) use—killing lice on stock.
Don't eut. until you get as
cool us you can and take the
time to indulge in a little nap
after dinner. You will find it
will not bo time lost.
Husbands should not find
limit with their wives nor wives
with their husbands in hot
weather—nor in cold weather,
either, for thut matter.
Don’t get into an argument
about politics or religion. It is
sure to make all parties more
than generally hot and liave a
bad effect on the nervous sys
tem.
Don’t make yourself still hot
ter and your physical system
w* aker by using alcoholic stim
ulants. They only bring out
the reserve forces which vou
need in their full strength dur
ing the hot weather.
MARVELOUS RESULTS.
From a letter written by Rev.
.1. Gundermau, of Diftmoudale,
Mich ~ we are permitted to make
this extract:
“1 huve no hesitation in rec
ommending Dr. King's New
Discovery, as the results were
' almost marvelous in the case of
my w ile. While I was pastor
of tin- Baptist Church at Rives
Junction she was brought down
with I‘neumonia succeeding l.a
Grippe. Terrible paroxysms
of coughing would last hours
with little interruption und it
seemed us if she could not sur
vive them. A fii.ini recom
mended Dr. King’s NdW Dis
cov tv: it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory.”
