GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
NEWS OP THE TWO STATES ' OLD
IS PARAGRAPHS.
Moultrie Courier: The martens have
arrived, the moles are plowing up our
front yard, the rtd heads will arrive this
week and we verily believe spring has
opened.
GOING INTO BEE BUSINESS.
Dawson News: Mr. J. R. Mercer has
purchased a hundred hives of bees and
Is going into the honey business on a
large scale. The bees will be located on
his farm on the southwestern edge of the
city.
DECREASED MELON ACREAGE.
Albany Herald: It Is now generally
conceded that the acreage planted 'n
watermelons in Southern and Southwest
Georgia this year is perhaps 50 i>er cent,
less Ihan that of last year.
NO SWEARING THERE 1
Washington Chronicle: The fishermen
who have been out this spring enjoying
the sport, say that the fish are so nu
merous in the creeks and rivers, a fel
low has to get behind a tree when he
goes to bait his book, or else the raven
ous tish will get the bait before the
si.are is ready to secure him.
SWAPPING THE JI'DGES.
C'ordele News: It is to he noticed that
whenever a North Georgia Superior Court
judge comes down into the Wiregrass re
gion to hold court lie makes the lawyers
and court officers "too the mark." delivers
a red-hot charge to the grand jury, cleans
up the docket and applies the "new
broom" that "sweeps clean" to things
generally, and whenever one. of our South
Georgia judges goes up Into the moun
tains to hold court he does things in
very' much the same way. And this sug
gests the Idea that it would he well to
have the judges change circuits more
generally than they do.
E\PI. AN \TIONS WANTED.
Washington Chronicle: A negro man
went into a big dry goods and clothing
store In town few days since and pur
chased a. coat. The clerk wiio served
him is not distinguished for writing a
very legible hand, and when the book
keeper got hold of the item he charged
the hapless colored man with one corset.
Instead of a coat. He afterwards came
in and settled his account, unaware of
the fact that he was charged with a cor
set which he never carried home. Upon
arriving home his wife, who can read,
scanned over the bill and her eagle eye
soon fell upon the Incriminating Rem
and then there was war. In vain, her
unfortunate spouse declared he "hadn’t
bought no corset." But she was uncon
vinced. and a divorce seemed probable.
Finally the darkey persuaded his wife to
accompany him to the store, so as to get
at the boltom of the mystery. The clerk,
bookkeeper and irate negroes then held a
conference, and matters were satisfactor
ily adjusted.
I/OCK GAME IN AUGUST .A.
Augusta Chronicle: Notwithstanding
the fact that gambling is not counte
nanced in the oily this week by the Mer
ry Makers, anew skin game was pulled
yesterday. It is what is known os the
"lock” game. Two small niokle-plated
locks, about the size of a man’s linger,
are used. One of the locks is shown you
and then the operator bets you any
amount that you want that you cannot
unfasten it. Of course, this is easily done
and then the fellows says there must be
some mistake. He takes the lock and
then hands another one back to you which
cannot possibly be opened. Before you
know what has happened you have been
frosted end the operator and his “cap
per" have skipped out and you are minus
the amount that you bet. Two negroes,
George Brooks and Kd Green, were ar
rested for running this game. Both of
them hailed from Savannah, and on one
of them a pawn ticket for 12.50 on a coat
was found, and the chief thinks that le
has raptured a thief who Is wanted in
the above-mentioned city.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Valdosta Times: The state of Georgia
is 1o make a very fine geological exhibit
at the Buffalo Exposition. Such an ex
hibit will advertise the mineral resources
of North Georgia at the expense of
the entire state. Why not also exhibit
rime of the products of South Georgia?
Quitman Advertiser: The newspapers
of this section seem to have dropped
politics for a while and are now trying
to develop the resources of the state.
This is a more profitable business and
we ate glad to note the change.
Dawson News: Judge Fite Is charging
the grand juries to indict those who play
progressive euchre at social gatherings.
The judge could find bigger game, if he
was mind to.
Moultrie Courier: We now receive, the
bavannah Morning News at about 12
o’clock on each day of publication, end
are thankful to someone, for the writer
has read the "old reliable" for the last
twenty years and counts It the best paper
published in Georgia.
Augusta Chronicle: Now they say
pierpont Morgan is seeking to form a
cotton mill trust. Why don’t he try his
hand on the raw material if he wants to
prove his Napoleonic ability. Anybody
can combine manufacturers. Try the
farmers. Mr. Morgan, if you want a job
that will test your ability.

VANDERBILT'S LAST COIN.
He Kept the f nsrh Waiting Till He
Found it.
From the New York Press.
With the horn on the top of Pioneer
tooting that all was in readiness to start,
the friends who were with him calling to
him to make haste, Alfred Gwynne Van
derbilt delayed the departure of his coach
laVt Friday while he searched the floor
of the Getty House barroom in Yonkers
for a lost coin. He shoved about the
chairs, kicked the cuspidor and moved
the stand of the bootblack in his search
for the lost wealth. While he was doing
Hits tlie sweeper made all sorts of dou
ble crosses in the hope that the head of
the Vanderbilt- would depart and permit
the good old saying. "Let the porter find
it." become a reality.
On Friday last Mr. Vanderbilt and his
wife, with a party of friends, made the
trip front the Waldorf to Ardsley on the
Pioneer. When the coach drew up at the
Getty House, where horses are changed
in quick time, Mr. Vanderbilt and a con
pie of others were already swung down
on the steps to run In and have a drink.
They dashed into the room and up to the
bar, calling out their orders as they ran.
Haste was necessary, because the
horses are changed in quick time, and the
coach dashes on within five minutes. It
was .Mr. Vanderbilt’s treat, for he drew
a handful of coins from his pocket to
1 ay. As he did so. one of them dropped
to the floor and rolled away. Mr. Vander
bilt tossed a half dollar on the bar and
started to search for the missing coin.
He had already gulped down his drink.
His companions had already started for
the door. While he searched the horn
to start blew, hut Mr. Vanderbilt search
ed on. He upset a cuspidor and shoved
the bootblack's stand, looked in the cor
ners and ai! about the floor.
The horn sounded again and the coach
was swung into the best position for start
ing, but he kept on his search. His
friends shouted for him to come on, but
he kept on searching. Visions of a dou
ble eagle at least floated before the eyes
of the porter. The horn sounded again,
this time impatiently, for even boots was
becoming worried over the lost time. Just
then Mr. Vanderbilt found his coin, nd
slipping it into his pocket, rushed out. It
was a 1-eent piece.

A PLAIN TALK TO
SENSIBLE PEOPLE
*
There are thousands of people afflicted
with chronic diseases who have not
known a well day for years, although not
confined to their beds. They are able to
be up, but totally incapacitated for work
or pleasure.
I want to convey a word of hope to
such sufferers. You are not incurable, but
you will never be well unless you give
your condition some serious, intelligent
thought and realize that health is the
most valuable possession to he hod. and
that the best treatment is not too good
for you.
I have been n specialist for 20 years,
which time has been devoted exclusively
to the treatment of chronic, diseases. 1
have treated more cases than any other
physician and my patients reside in every
state of the Union.
I have treated thousands of cases, and
cured them promptly, which had been un
der various kinds of treatment for years.
Every case which comes to me I find re
quires some special attention, which no
ready-made medicine curt reach, and this
explains why u cure cannot be expected
from patent medicines. There Is some
thing In medical science which can reach
your condition, and cure you. but special
treatment must be prepared for your own
Individual case.
My long experience and acknowledged
skill warrants me In saying that l can
cuie 98 per cent, of all case* undertaken
1 study carefully every case, and treat It
on Its Individual merits. I use no ready
made medicine?, and warn you against
llie folly of exi*erlmenting with so-called
"free” samples, many of which are noth
ing more than poisonous and Injurious
stimulants.
if you are afflicted with any chronic
disease, such as Bladder and Kidney Dis
eases, Blood I’olson, Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Varicocele. Stricture, Lost Man
hood. etc., you owe it to yourself to take
only tha last treatment, which I* always
the cheapest in the end.
I can promise you the most experl
treatment obtainable anywhere and can
give satisfactory reference* both as to my
professional skill and financial standing

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. APRIL 26. 1901.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.
The tug Abram Minis arrived yesterday
from Philadelphia, where she took a tow
from Jacksonville. The Minis was delay
ed considerably in starting, owing to a
mishap in hauling her off the marine rail
way, which kept her high and dry for
several days. In entering the mouth of
the river yesterday the tug dashed along
at a rate which showed her speed admir
ably. The claims of her builders for her
speed and running qualities have appar
ently been confirmed.
The Danish steamer Marsellsborg was
shifted to the Union Shipping Company’s
wharv’es yesterday to load cotton.
The schooner Jennie Thomas. Capt.
Campbell, sailed yesterday for Philadel
phia with a cargo of yellow pine lumber.
Coastwise lumber freights have contin
ued extremely dull, the inaction being at
tributed in some measure to the heavy
rains that have seriously interrupted op
erations at the mills. Tonnage offers
quite freely, with owners showing a dis
position to consider bids of 44 52 1 2. Bruns
wick to New York, but this figure appeal's
difficult to obtain. Coal orders from East
ern points have been in free receipt dur
ing the week, and the demand for ton
nage has improved. Shippers to points
'beyond the Cape are prepared to meet 63
to 75 cents as to size of vessel find port,
but tonnage is sparingly offered at this
range.

The above letters are taken from many received by us. p. p. p. (Lippman's
Great Remedy,) is a medicine whose virtues are known from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
P. P. P. begins its work by purifying the blood, which is the source of all life*
and does not cease until a perfect and entire cure is effected.
The mortifying eruptions that disfigure the complexion, the tired feeling that pre
vents thorough accomplishments of the daily tasks, sleepless nights, loss of appetite,
irritability of disposition, all mean a derangement of the system consequent from
impure blood, which can and will be cured by p. p. p.
P. P. P. (Lippman’s Great Remedy), is conceded by physicians and the people
to be the Greatest Blood Purifier of the Age. It positively and permanently
cures. For sale by all druggists or direct from us; price $i a bottle, six bottles for $5.

CZAR IS TIRED OF HIS JOB.
Some of the Disadvantage* of Ban
ning n Monarchy in Rn**ia.
(T. A. McNeal in Topeka Mail.)
It is intimated that the czar of Russia
is tired of his job and ready to give it
up if he can find sotno good man to take
the. place, on the condition, of course,
that the czar shall have a sufficient al
lowance to keep him in good shape as
long as he lives. Our special correspond
ent in Russia informs us that this feel
ing on the part of the czar is not alto
gether new. He has never, to use a slang
ful phrase, such as we rarely permit, in
these columns, been psrticulary stuck
on the Job. I-ooklng back over his family
history and judging as to what has hap
pened to his ancestors, he figures that
he stunds about one chance in ten of
dying a natural death. He stands about
three chances in ten of being poisoned;
about two chances in ten of being per
forated by a bullet: about four chances
in ten of being blown up by dynamite.
"I tell you, my boy.” said the czar In
n familiar manner as he laid his hand
on the shoulder of the reporter, "the
fellows out in Kansas may think this
thing of being a czar at the regular
salary of five million per year Is n soft
snap, but if they were in my place, or
if any one of them was, he would change
his mind. Of course you observe that the
lean-to of the palace was blown up last
night. The Impression got out some way
or other that 1 was In the habit of sleep
ing In the lean-to. Wit that was a mistake.
If It hadn't been a mistake they might
have been gathering up my remains with
a garden rake this morning. But I don't
worry about a little thing like that so
much, after it Is over. I am getting used
to It. The thing that makes me lose
flesh Is the uncertainty of this business.
I never know when I get up in the morn
ing whether I will be nil In one piece
at sundown and I don't dare to take
right hold of my victuals like a hungry
man should because I don't know how
much prussic acid may be mixed with
the menu.
"It is necessary for me to call In the
taster of the royal household and make
him taste a few bttes out of each dish
before I feel safe in tilling my Interior
with the provender provided. If I observe
a look of pain ixrnie over the face of the
taster of the royal household after ha
has taken a mouthful out of a dish then.
I let that dish stone. As the tartar Is
liable to be wafted Into the saceharme
subsequently at any tuna It le necessary
to havs ■ large number of eubstkute*
on hand all the while. And the worst of
it is that this pun of having tasters of
