several days. Last week the thermome

ture of a fraction over 100 degrees. As an
evidence of the heat, W. T. Everett, one
of Terrell county's most prosperous farm
ers. had on exhibition at Dawson an ear

white, the corn being popped as nicely as
if it had been over a fire, and he said
this was done by the heat of the sun.

rays for several hours.
Soldier oa Monument Gone. "
Rome months ago the ladies of Elber

the soldier, but quite a fine one in the
rest of the work. So patent was the de
fect in the soldier figure It attracted the
attention of everyone, and often the re
quest has been made that it lie changed.
The change will have to come now, for
sometime Monday night the figure of the
eokller was knocked off the base and
broken in two. It is not known by wliut
authority or means, but it is supposed to
ivave been done by miscreants, it has
been suggested that the Governor be
asked to offer a reward for the perpetra
tors.
Famous Dodge Cases Again.
Macon Telegraph: Mr. J. N. Talley left
yesterday afternoon for Dublin, where
he goes to take testimony as special ex
aminer in the last batch. 225. of the fa
mous:.- Dodge land suits The case will
be recognised as that of Norman L. Dodge
v. Luther L. Williams, et al., and em
braces some of the most thrilling history
In the annds of South Georgia. It re
call# the prosecution and conviction of the
once prosie-rous and prominent lawyer,
'Luther A. Hail, wh se last days wore
spent in the Ohio prison as a result of
his prosecution. It also brings to mind
the death struggle the federal officers had
with Luciue L. Williams, wito at last
hart to be shot down on ills front porch
and killrd before he could Ire captured. Ho
hod b en wanted to answer the court's
rulings. And there were other bloody
chapters in tills most awful tragedy that
ever gr. w out of land disputes in Georgia.
Mr. Dodge claims that several hundred
lots of land In Telfair and other South
Georgia counti-s belong to him through
an early purchase, and the defendant#
contend that the lands belong to the peo
ple who reside on them because of undis
turbed possession through an almost in
ti finite period of years.
FLORIDA.
Daytona, Halifax Journal: M Bruce.
John Wynne and John Roberts went on a
bear hunt Thursday. Roberts did the
driving and Bruce succeeded In killing a
very large one, estimated to weigh On
pounds. This one was secured on the To
moka. above the railroad bridge. Wynne
succeeded in killing a smaller one near
Harwood. The day was warm, the sport
was warm and taken altogether they had
a “hoi” time.
Capitol Removal Fnn*l.
Jacksonville Metropolis: The expenses
incurred by the Jacksonville Capital Re
moval Association has amounted to a con
siderable sum, and the campaign has hard
ly begun. It is said that about $3,000 hav*
already been spent. Every citizen should
assist in this worthy movement, and sea
to it that the funds do not give out. Jack
sonville is going to get the capital if there
is anything in the present indications, but
it takes money to keep up the present sys
tem of campaigning.
Dispute Over band.
The Plant System, through their attor
neys, Sparkman & Carter, have filed an
injunction against the town of St. Pe
tersburg. enjoining them from continuing
the erection of the fire, hose and reel
house on the south half of block 32. It
seems there is a difference of opinion as
to who owns this property. The Town
Council thought it belonged to the public
and proceeded to erect a public building
thereon, and but for lack of material
would no doubt have had it completed be
fore the Plant System people could have
acted.
National Bunk for Arcadia.
The comptroller of the currency has au
thorized the First National Bank of Ar

sistant cashier. A fire and burglar-proof
vault, with steel chest and lime lock, ha*

prospects for the success of the new
bank are very bright; the deposits are
now $90,000.

pentine and lumber business. Mr. Charles
has been deputied to look after these im
mense tracts of land. He is an expert in
the business.

Wedding With Groom In Bed.
Rev. T. J. Nlxcn was called on Sunday
evening to perform a wedding ceremony
at Ocala, under peculiar circumstances.
It was the marriage of Mr. W. D. Mor
ton to Mies Elizabeth Mente. at the resi
din' e of the groom. Mr. Morton has been
ill quite a while; in fact, last week it
was feared his end was at hand. He has
been engaged to the young lady whom
he married for some time, and his pro
tracted illness was the reason the con
nubial knot was not tied sooner. Owing
to a de ire on the part of his fiancee to
he near him, so that she could nurse him.
the welding was determined on, though
Mr. Merton lay abed and his bride stood
beside him at th** bedside. The groom is
the propr etor of the Ocala Lumber Com
pany, and one of the city’s prominent and
successful business men. His bride is an
amiable and worthy young lady. Their
friends hof>e the marriage is but the be
ginning of Mr. Morton's rapid recovery,
and that a leng, useful and happy life is
in store for ihcin.
qii\CY TOBACCO FIELDS.
Florida Wrapper Tobacco Got the
I'nriN KxpoMition <.old Medal,
Quincy, Fla., Aug. 16.—Business In the
city is beginning to assume the usual fall
activity. Tobacco is coming in to the
warehouses, and buyers are out inspecting
the contents of the barns. In some cases
fancy prices are asked and obtained. To
one unaccustomed to the growing of cigar
leaf tobacco under cover, the farms
large plantations of thie county present
a novel appearance, with its acres covered
with cheese-cloth or slats, raised to the
altitude of eight feet above the graund.
It Is estimated ihat there nre about 600
acres thus covered in this county, and a
considerable proportion of it is irrigated.
Reekie* this, there is a large area planted
without cover. The covered tobacco is of
the Sumatra variety, used for cigar wrap
pers, while the open field tobacco i mostly
Cuba. The Owl Commercial Company,
one of the largest growers, has been
awarded the Paris Exposition gold medal
, for the best wrapper tobacco, against the
world. This is quite a compliment to the
! Florida weed when coming in competition
; with the products of the Islands of Su
matra and Cuba.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 17,1900.
SCHOOL HOOKS CHANGED.
Rev. 1101 l inKNvt orfh of Bmndvrick
Ha* Received ■ Call.
Brunswick. Ga., Aug. 16.—The Board
of Education at a regular meeting to
day decided to change the readers in the
entire school system of Glynn, and adopted
Baldwin’s. This decision was a tribute
to the good judgment of Supt. Orr. He
had recommended Baldwin’s, but the
board was unfavorable at the last meet
ing. and laid his recommendation on the
table.
However, at the request of Supt. Orr,
the individual members of the board car
ried copies of the books home, and after
carefully rending them, they unanimously
decided to adopt the superintendent’s sug
gestion.
This is the first change in school books
that has occurred in Glynn in years, and
is in line with various improvements of
the system that Supt. Orr and the board
have mapped out.
Rev. W. F. Hollingsworth, pastor of
the Presbyterian Church here, and mod
erator of the Savannah Presbytery, has
announced the receipt of a call to the
church at Aberdeen, Miss. The call con
tains some flattering inducements and
Rev. Hollingsworth may accept. He will
make his decision known next Sunday
morning. In the meantime Rev. Hollings
worth is besieged with requests from the
congregation not to leave Brunswick.
He has brought the church out of debt,
and done more good among the congre
gation than any pastor that has served
here in years.
A LITTLE CHILD'S FALL.
Witnessed by Horrified Spectator*
and Re*nltod in Death.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 16.—This afternoon a
number of persons on Broad street were
horrified at seeing an infant fall head
long from a second-story' iron balcony to
the pavement below. In a moment a
score of persons rushed forward to pick
up the little tot, which lay still and
stunned where it fell. A horrified mother
ian out on the balcony tco late to avert
the tragedy, and almost overcome with
the shock, received the lifeless body of
her only child that was brought up from
the street below.
Mr. and Mrs. Basil L*. Fleming live in
the residence over the store of Jules Ri
val. 1026 Broad street. An iron balcony
at the second-story extends above the
sidewalk and the windows of the second,
story open upon it flush with the floor.
This afternoon, as Mrs. Fleming was
dressing in her room.her infant son, Basil,
Jr.. 16 months old, toddled out of the win
dow onto the balcony.
Ordinarily there was no danger, as an
iron railing, taller than the child's head
surrounded the balcony, but a chair ha<l
been left by the railing, and the little fel
low climbed into this to look down in the
street, He fell over, head first. In spite
of the best medical efforts he died from
his injuries at 10 o'clock to-night. Mr.
Basil Fleming is a nephew of Congressman
Fleming.

t!M ORDER TO BE CURED
What Must You Do? You Cannot Cure Yourself, and
Nature Will Not Cure You.
gt -A- 1 Are You the Man to Whom ThU Is Wlrtten? II ... You Will
Know Whit to l)o.
In order for you <o be cured, it Is not only necessary
.vjßfe that the doctor who treats you should know abosluiely
Tlrjn? *7 ''' the disease which affetes you, but Just how for that dis
f*-- '■ ease and all its complications have undermined what is
,called your general health.
Can you tell, from your feelings, what vital organs of
S.' ’ VYL v. your body your disease Is now attacking? You feel at
Zj/t jjregpß?’ k. times chat your nerves are unstrung, that your brain
7*4 \ does not grasp things as it should, tha* your kidneys are
’ out of order, that your heart does not beat regularly,you
J.Newton Hathaway.M.D know that a little cut or scratch on your skin does not
heal readily, that your appetite is fickle, that your bowels are irregular, that
there is lameness and stiffness about your muscles and Joints, that there are
shooting pains in different parts of your body, that your feet and Joints swell,
that your nights are disturbed by unnatural dreams, that you are startled by
common sounds, that you get dizzy and see spots floating before your eyes.
Every one of these symptoms means the serious progress of your disease.
You don't want to experiment, you want to be cured. You want to be rid of every
distressing symptom; you want to feel that vigor and enthusiasm which goes
with true healthy manhood; you want to be able to work and to enjoy.
I have treated cases like yours for 20 years; I know what., your symptoms
mean, and I know that if you have not delayed too long, I can make you a
sound, well, vigorous man, fitted for the place in the world which nature Intended
for you. Other doctors send me their “hopeless” cases knowing that I never fail
in any case which I undertake. I make a specialty of cases like yours—chronic
diseases which baffle the skill of other physicians.
Let me know about your case in fullest detail. Come to my office If you can;
If you cannot, write to me. Unless you take a course of treatment, it will cost
you nothing for my services—consultation and advice are free. Possibly you need
no medicine; if not, I will tell you so and tell you what to do and you need pay
me nothing; possibly also, I cannot help you—lf not, I will tell you so frankly
and without fee.
At most my charge will be merely a nominal one, which will be no financial
burden to you.
I have Just published anew edition of my new M-p page book, “Manliness,
Vigor, Health,’’ a copy of which I will be glad lo send you free, postpaid, If you
will sencj me your name and address. ,
You can judge much better what I can do for you, and so can I. after we
have had an Interview or corresponded with each other.

INCORRECT AND UNTRUE.
Representative Hnrdxviek Emphnt
ienlly Denies a Report.
Tennille, Aug. 16.—For some time past
the daily papers have persistently printed
the report that Hon. T. W. Hardwick, the
author of the bill to disfranchise the ne
groes in this state, had declared his in
tention of introducing a bill on anew line.
It was slated that he proposed to have
a law passed requiring a property quali
fication to vote in Georgia. This would
disfranchise as many, it not more, whites
than it would negroes. It was a suhje-N
that at once claimed the attention of the
people. Many of the friends of the young
man were disinclined to believe that he
ever contemplated such a course. The
Morning News corresponded reached Mr.
Hardwick by mail and he has sent, for
publication, the following self-expanatory
letter:
“Replying to your favor of Aug. 11,
which has just come to hand upon my re
turn home, I beg to say that the reports
in the dailjf papers to which you refer,
slating that I propose to attempt to pass
a law a| the next session of the Legisla
ture making a property qualification for
voting in Georgia, are entirely incorrect
and untrue. I have given no Interview*
to any papers on this subject and these re
port? ate mistakes. I never had any in
tention of introducing a bill on this sub
ject except the same bill that I Introduced
at the last session."

Waycross, Ga.. Aug. 16.-The news of
the pardon of young John T. Davidson

Just as he told Judge Sweat he would do
at the time sentence was pronounced, but

Owing lo his extreme youth
his connection with the o.d criminal
Bahrain, and the high esteem In which his
father and family are held deep sympathy
for young Davidson was fell, and about a
year ago Col. Ed. F. Jeffords nnd others
began to work vigorously in behalf of the
young man.
Raymond Barber died last night In this'
city and will be burled this afternoon In
Lott Cemetery. He was a young cariien
