Grange’s oldest citizen, died Saturday
night at her home on Vernon street,
where she had lived for over half a cen
tury. Before her marriage she was a Miss
Sanford. She was torn in London coun
ty. Virginia. Sept. 8. 1808. Mrs. Green was
a member of the Sanford family so well
known in Georgia. Her father was a rev
olutionary soldier and was a personal
friend of Washington, for whom she was
named. She has been a ditlzen of La-
Grange for sixty odd years, and for over
fifty years occupied the same room in
which she died.
BRYAN COUNTY’S WHITE CAT’S.
Clyde, Ga., March 12.—Mr. Editor: In
behalf of the law-abiding citizens of Bry
an county, and her good reputation, we
want to correct the reports that have been
give® concerning the whipping of a negro
that happened the night of 26th Feb.,
on Mr. Fanning Morgan's place, near El
labeile. From two accounts of the same
affair the impression has been made that
two lynehlngs have occurred. The negro
was not lynched, but wns brutally whip
ped and received about four pistol wounds
in the lower part of his leg, which the
better element of our people regret very
much and hope that the offenders will re
ceive their just deserts at the hands of
the law. The negro is being well cared
for by Mr. Morgan, and is recovering.
The Way's Station report of the whip
ping and shooting is also incorrect.
A MJGBO’S BAR \ BI K VED.
Albany Herald: Willis Janies, a hard
working and highly respected young ne
gro living on the Willis Warren place, six
miles west of Albany, was the victim of
an incendiary torch Sunday night. James
was awakened between 11 and 12 o'clock
by the crackling of flames, and on look
ing from a window of his dwelling dis
covered that the building used by him as
a barn and stable was on fire. He ran
out as hurriedly as possible and called for
help, but was unable to save the building
or any of its contents. The barn con
tained about SO bushels of corn, some
fodder, etc. A valuable mule and a hog
were In the stable, and they perished.
The loss Is a heavy one on Willis James,
who had no Insurance. He thinks there Is
no doubt that the fire was of Incendiary
origin, but has no clue which seems
likely to lead to the apprehension of the
guilty party.
ni'HLlt Aivn THE B. A P. RAILWAY.
IHihltn Courier-Dispatch: Is It not
about time for the merchants of Dublin
to take formal steps to get their share of
the trade from that splendid section of
country through which the Brewton and
Plneora. Railroad Runs. Considerable
business from that section Is now enjoyed
by this city, but not as much as belongs
to It. One reason perhaps that more In
terest has not been taken In this matter
Is that trains on the Brewton and Plneora
have not had schedules suitable for Dub
lin since the road began operation. The
trains have come only to Brewion, and,
If a prospective passenger desired to go
from this city to some point on the Brew
ton and Plneora, he could not make con
nection by the Wrightsvillo and Temillle
without Btaylng in Brewton all night and
going down on the morning train. It Is
said that when the Brewton and Plneora
shall have been completed to Statesboro,
a good schedule may be put on direct from
Dublin. If that be done, It may be possi
ble for the business men of this city to
get In closer touch with the people of
Brewton and Plneora. As the matter now
stands, the Brewton and Plneora is of lit
tle benefit to Dublin, either for freight or
passenger truffle. It is hoped that, if the
railroad authorities do not soon make a
change, the merchants of Dublin may,
by united effort, succeed in putting them
selves Into a position where they will
have at least a fighting chance for trade
that legitimately belongs to them.

LIVER ILLS.
Dr. Radway & Cos., New York:
Dear Sirs—l have been sick for nearly
two years, and have been doctoring with
some of the most expert doctors of the
United States. I have been bathing in and
drinking hot water at the Hot Springs.
Ark.,but It seemed everything failed to do
me good. After I saw your advertisement
I thought I would try your pills, and have
nearly used two boxes: been taking two at
bedtime and one after breakfast, and they
have done me more good than anything
else I have used. My trouble has been
with the liver. My skin and eyes were all
yellow; I had sleepy, drowsy feelings; felt
like a drunken man; pain right above the
navel, like as If it was bile on top of the
stomach. My towels were very costive.
My mouth and tongue sore most of the
time. Appetite fair, but food would not
digest, but settle heavy on my stomach,
and some few mouthfuls of food come up
again. I could only eat light food that
digests easily. Please send "Book of Ad
vice.” Respectfully, BEN ZAUGG,
Hot Springe, Ark.

FLORIDA.
Jacksonville Metropolis: Some promi
nent citizens of Jacksonville expect to be
come very wealthy In a short thne. These
gentlemen are J. A. Huau, Frank Clark,
Cromwell Gibbons. Judge G. M. Nolan
and Robert MoNamee, of Tampa. Short
ly after the war between the United
States and Spain these gentlemen organ
ized a company to look after certai i
claims of various parties In Cuba. These
claims were based on losses caused by
the war between Cuba and Spain and the
United States and Spain, this country
having shouldered the responsibility. The
company opened an office in Havana,and
in a short time had secured what is con
sidered $3,000,000 worth of gilt-edged
claims against the government. These
gentlemen are enthusiastic over their
prospects, and are now giving the matter
their closest attention. The Cuban Claim
Company, of which the above Floridians
are the organizers, expect a full settle
ment within a short lime. They feel sat
isfled that nearly every claim will be paid
In full, and If such be the case it means
a fortune for each of them.
A CUBAN PATRIOT DEAD.
Tampa Times: The entire Latin element
and hosts of Americans in Tampa will re
member the venerable Juan Arnao, who
was for so many years a resident of
Ybor City and who was admired by ell
who knew him for his culture and ability
as a speaker and writer. He was a strik
ing figure—his long white heir and beard
and other evidences of advanced age con
trasting strangely with his erect car
riage and powerful voice. During the long
struggle between the Cubans and Span
iards—before the intervention of this
country—Mr. Arnao was the leader of
the Cuban patriots of this section, and
these people particularly end his friends
in general will be grieved to learn of
his death in Guanabacoa on the 6th inst.
Juan Arnao passed on to the majority,
at the ripe age of 88, over sixty of which
years were devoted to the cause of ob
taining Cuban. Independence. Mr. Arnao
spent a number of years in Tampa, and
his fat* and venerable form were fa
miliar sights on the streets of Ybor City.
A host of Tampa friends will mourn his
death. In 1860 he was wounded and cap
tured in ills efforts to aid Narclsso Lopez
in his Cardenas expedition. Taken to a
Spanish prison across the sea, he was
liberated because of the incoming of a
new governor-general. He was a man of
rare gifts, cultivated mind, wide research
end talents ulong many lines. He wrote
a history of the last war in Cuba which
met with ready sale.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.
The steamer Doretta did not arrive from
Bluffton yesterday on her regular sched
ule, owing to delay in floating her after
having been put ashore for repairs to
her rudders. It was the intention to
put the Doretta on the bank, near Bluff
ton and finish the repairs in time to get
her to Savannah on schedule time. Strong
westerly winds prevented the tide from
rising to its usual stage, however, and
the Doretta was consequently left high
and dry. It is thought she got oft yes
terday and may arrive to-day.
Workmen are painting the steamer Cliff
ton at the Beaufort wharf. She will prob
ably be turned out tho latter part of
April In first-class trim for the summer
excursion business. Besides her improved
outward appearance, she has new toilers,
and will later receive a general touching
up about decks.
The British schooner Julia Elizabeth,

“I wish to Inform you of the wonderful

TO CURTAIL PRODUCTION.
Manufacturers Being Urged to Come
Into Agreement.
Fajl River, Mass, March 12. Manufac
turers are being urged to oome into the
agreement to curtail the production sug
gested by the selling committee of this
city, to relieve the cotton cloth market.
The committee purposes, if possible, to
bring about a curtailment of sixty days’
duration in each factory some time be
tween the first of April and the first of
August. The committee says that they
con control about 1,350,000 spindles and
require about 600,000 more to make the
plan binding.
RACING MEN AT WAR.
Legislature Called Upon to Inter
vene by Tennessee Horsemen.
Nashville, Tenn., March 12.—The clash
in dates between the racing meets at
Memphis and Nashville has thoroughly
aroused the thoroughbred breeders, who
are urging the legislature to pass an act
limiting racing to ten days at any one
track and not oftener than twice a year.
This bill has been followed by the 'n
troduction of another to prohibit racing
and making the offense a misdemeanor.
Savannah's Free Library.
From the Atlanta Jonurnal.
In his benefactions Mr. Andrew Car
negie knows no North, no South, no East,
no West. His beneficence is not sec
tional.
A number of Southern citie* are al
ready indebted to him for donations
which made possible the establishment of
free libraries for their people—Atlanta,
Montgomery, Houston, Chattanooga and
others.
We are glad to know that Mr. Carnegie
intends to make a liberal donation to a
free library fund for Savannah. He
gave this assurance recently to a young
lady of that city who is assistant libra
rian of the Georgia Historical Society.
It will be remembered that the $25,000
which Mr. Carnegie added to the origi
nal SIOO,OOO for the Atlanta library was the
result of a visit to his home in New
York by Atlanta's accomplished lady
librarian. It seems that Savannah is in
debted to the influence of a lady for her
good fortune in obtaining Mr. Carnegie's
favor.

Uncrowned Qneens.
In the original meaning of the word
every woman was a queen, for the word
queen meant woman. In monarchic
countries the wife of the king became
the queen— the woman. In America we
give the word back its original meaning
and every woman becomes a queen.
The crown of womanhood is maternity.
Every healthy woman looks forward to
marriage. Every wife looks forward to
motherhood as the crown of wifehood.
And yet there are many uncrowned
queens ; women who because the desire
for children is unrealized feel that they
have missed the full regal height of
womanhood.
It is one of the sad features of a large
bureau of medical correspondence such
as is conducted by Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y., that it has to deal so many times
with the disappointed hopes of women
who have failed of the happiness of
maternity. But it is one of the glad
privileges of this same medical corres
pondence bureau that in the greater
number of such cases, the obstacles to
maternity are overcome by the establish
ment of the womanly health.
Not infrequently women write that
they feel perfectly well and cannot
understand why they are denied the
maternal happiness which they desire.
Such women learn that feeling well and
being well are widely different matters.
Few women are by nature debarred from
the happiness of maternity. In the
majority of cases Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription, supplemented by his free
medical consultation by letter, are suf
ficient to establish the womanly health
and remove the obstacles to maternity.
AN OPERATION AVOIDED.
"I had been a sufferer from uterine
trouble for about three years, having two
mishaps in that time and the doctors
that I consulted said that I would have
to go through an operation before I
could give birth to children,” writes Mrs.
Blanche E. Evans, of Parsons, Luzerne
Cos., Pa., Box 4r. "When about to give
up in despair I saw the advertisement of
Dr. Pierce’s medicine in the Wilkes-
Barre Record, and thought I would give
it a trial as a last resort. I bought a
bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion from the druggist, T. F. O’Donnell,
of Parsons, and after taking it felt better
than I had for years. Felt improved
before I had taken one-half of the bottle.
After I had taken four and a half bottles
I gave birth to a bright baby girl, who is
now four months old, and lias not had a
day of sickness. She is as bright as can
be. I cannot say too much in praise of
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.”
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is

often cures diseases pronounced incur

“ Favorite Prescription ” establishes
regularity, dries weakening drains, heals
inflammation and ulceration and cures
female weakness. It is the best prepara

nerves, encouraging the appetite and in

baby’s advent practically painless.
"For five years my wife was in an
almost helpless condition, suffering from
female weakness,” writes J. B. Everritt

AN INVITATION
V TO WOMEN.
Sick women, especially
those suffering from dis
ease in chronic form, are
invited to consult Doctor
Pierce, by letter, free. AU
correspondence is held in
sacred secrecy and woman
ly confidences are guarded
by the same strict profes
sional privacy observed by
Dr. Pierce in his persona!

dress Dr. R. V. Pierce
Buffalo, N. Y.
In a little over thirty years, Dr. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Ini
valids’ Hotel and Surgical institute, Buf
falo, N. Y., assisted by his staff of nearly
a score of physicians has treated anil
cured hundreds of thousands of weak
and sick women.
Dr. Pierce’s offer of free consultation
by letter is not to be confused with mis
leading advertisements of "free medical
advice ” made by those who have neither
the professional qualifications nor the
legal right to practice medicine. Any
one can give aavice on any subject. But
the " medical advice ” of a person who has
no medical knowledge must be worthless
and may be dangerous.
In consulting Dr. Pierce, women are
addressing a physician whose skill as a
specialist in the treatment and cure of
diseases peculiar to their sex has given
him a national reputation. There is no
similar offer of free medical advice which
offers advantages equal to those offered
by Dr. Pierce.
Accept no substitute for " Favorite Pre
scription.” The only motive for such
substitution is to enable the dealer to
make the little more profit paid by the
sale of less meritorious medicines.
