THE MODERN WAY.
BY HON. W. H. (BUCK) HENRICHSEN
(Copyright; 1901. by Authors' Snydicate.)
••I w !eh, Mary. that you wou'd toll
young Ingalls to male* his vlatts le*a
frequent," said Mrs. Car!n to her
daughter as they sat in the parlor of
their Washington residence one after
noon.
Why, mother, what is the matter
with Charlie? You surely can find no
fault with the visits of an old friend of
ours like he is."
As long as they are only friendly
visits it does not matter, but last night
he stayed til! everyone else was gone.
Count Villeroy even spoke of it to me
and asked if he were a relative.'* ' "
Count Villeroy, indeed! What la It
Ms business?”
The Count is a suitor for your hand,
Mary, and he is likely to be offended
by the lover-Uke attentions paid you
by Mr. Ingalls."
"Che Count may be a suitor, as you
say. but he is wasting his ante. I shall
v!1 him so the first opportunity. ’
Mary!"
Yej. I am old enough to know my
own mind and I declare that J trill
never marry that little French ape.”
I am ashamed of you, daughter; he
is a French nobleman, and If you re
fuse him you will offend your father."
T do that in some way every hour,”
said Mary, “so it doesn't matter.”
There is Charlie now,” said Mary,
as the be!! rang, and she ran into the
hall to meet him.
Mrs. Carlen was the wife of a West
ern congressman serving his first term.
He was rich and was what is known
as an accidental statesman. That is.
his election was the result of an acci
dent, and both he and his wife deter
mined to improve the opportunity by
negotiating a brilliant marriage for
their daughter. They had selected a
visiting French count for a son-in-law,,
and the affair had proceeded so far
that even the amount of the bride's
dower was agreed upon.
Mary was not a party to the plan,
for she was in love with Charlie In
galls, who lived In their home town,
and who would graduate the fiext year
from the Columbian Law School in
■Washington. His studies were at this
tirqe somewhat neglected on account
of the presence of Mary in the capi
tal.
Mrs. Carlen was provoked over her
daughter's obstinacy, and determined
to give Ingalls to understand that he
was no longer welcome at the Carlen
home.
The opened the subject at once when
he entered the parlor, piloted by Mary.
"Mr. Ingalls.” saifl she. after the
usual greetings, ‘as an old friend of
the family, I want to tel! you of Mary's
engagement to Count Villeroy.”
Ingalls looked at Mary. She pursed
up her lips and shook her head.
What barber shop is the Count
working in?” he asked, seriously.
‘What do you mean?” asked Mrs.
Carlen, frowning.
“Nothing,” replied Ingalls, “only I
have noticed that all the French
Counts are barbers and waiters, or the
like.”
Absurd!”
• Oh, if Mary loves him it is all right,
for a barber may make a good hus
band, you know."
If your remarks were made In his
presence he would punish you se
verely.”
I don't get shaved in his shop, so
he will have no chance at me.” said
Ingalls, laughingly. “But what do you
say to a walk. Mary?”
Til be ready In five minutes.” and
she darted upstairs.
"Now-, Mr. Ingalls,” said Mrs. Car
len, after Mary had gone. "I do not de
sire to play the cruel parent, but I
must insist that your visits to Mary
cease. She shall marry the Count, and
you must see that your attentions are
very disagreeable to me.”
But I don't want to marry you,”

said Ingalls, grinning, "it’s Mary, and
we are engaged, you know ”
"Without my consent?”
“Yes. We are both of age, you know.
We do not intend to marry for a year
or two, so you need not worry.”
"Al! ready. Charlie,” said Mary,
coming in, and they went for their,
walk, leaving Mrs. Carlen stupefied
with rage and astonishment.
When Mr. Carlen came home she
told him al lthat had occurred. She
expected to see film fly into a rage,
but he did not. Or. the contrary, he
looked troubled and stroked hie chin
whisker thoughtfully.
"You will take the matter up your
self, Will you not. Feter?” she asked.
"Yes,” said Mr. Caflen, ‘Til talk to
both of them."
- "You must be peremptory and mer
ciless with young Ingalls. He was as
impertinent to me as if I were not
Mary's mother.”
The congressman nodded.
"And you must be firm with Mary.
She laughs at us and seems to have
forgotten her duty to her parents.”
Another nod.
That evening the congressman call
ed young Ingalls into the back parlor.
Their Interview lasted for some time,
and finally Mary was called in. After
half an hour the young people appear
ed. apparently in a good humor, and
Mary informed her mother that pa de
sired to see her.
•We will entertain the Count,” she
added, nodding to that individual, who
was occupying the sofa.
Mrs. Carlen found her husband seat
ed comfortably in his large chair.
"Well?” she asked.
“It’s all fixed 1 said the congress
man, stroking his beard. They are
to be married in two months.”
Who?"
"Mary and CharUe."
“What do you mean?” almost
screamed the lady.
“Don't get excited, Melinda, The
matter stands Just this way: Charlie's
father intends to be a candidate for
the nomination against me next sum
mer, and he is a strong man Then
Charlie's older brother owns the most
influential paper in the district. Then
CharUe is something of a hustler him
self, and his uncle, Silas Lamb, con
trols Chinccpin county- If Mary mar
ries Charlie I wfjl get al! that influence,
and old Ingalls will not be a candidate
against me. D* you see?”
"But the count?”
"Bother the count. He doesn't cut
any ice, and I want to stay In con
gress.”
Mrs. Carlen’s lip curled, but she said
nothing.
"Then," continued her husband,
“Charlie stands in with the newspaper
people here and he says he will e.
that your receptions and parties are
properly reported.”
The lady looked interested.
"Of course, that doesn't amount to
much, but he says your dress shall be
described at all the receptions ”
“I will have to have some new
gowns.”
“Of course, and lots of them, and
you had better get Mary's outfit under
way,”
“Well, Peter, I suppose I must sub
mit to you' decision, but how shall we
arrange about the count? These no
blemen are so peculiar.”
"We will tell him right away
Come," and they passed Into the par
lor.
“Where Is the count?” asked Mrs.
Carlen
"Gone," said CharUe.
"Oh, ma.” said Mary, “it was too
funny. Charlie told him we were to
be married in a month, and that my
dowry was a million dollars, that pa
was to be president, and that he,
Charlie, was to be chief Justice. Tou
ought to have heard the little monkey
try to swear in United States.
“Charlie told him not to feel bad.
He would patronise his barber shop
when he got to be chief justice, and
then he left."
The lads’ looked somewhat amased
but finally joined in her husband’s
laughter.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 10. 1901.
MADE DISBURSING OFFICER.
Collector Dina Honored by Treasury
Department.
Brunswick, Ga.. Sept. 9—Hon. Henry
T. Dunn, collector of customs, has been
appointed disbursing agent for the new
government building and "will handle
about SIOO,OOO on that account during
the r.Sxt sixteen month.
A telegram received to-day announces
the death of Mrs. Morse of Abbeville,
mother of Mrs. Susie M. Way of this
city. Mrs. Morse has numerous rela
tives end friends in this section of the
state who will bemoan her loss.
Rumors of another newspaper deal are
on foot and conferences are being held
here with outside newspaper men rela
tive to placing some money behind an
afternoon paper. Brunswick now has
a morning daily and the Times-Cai!
and within a week will have another
morning daily in tfie Morning News
In the meantime the Savannah Morn
ing News, with full Associated Press
dispatches and live local and state
news, gets to Brunswick readers by
the hundreds by breakfast time each
morning and is read as an old and re
liable standby all over the city
Congressman Bmntley is receiving
flattering letters of encouragecert
from his constituents who are pleased
at hie securing new rural free delivery
routes.
Jery Hampton, one of Glynn county's
best known colored citisens Is in jail
here charged with intimidation of wit
nesses and the man he is accused of
intimidating is also m jail charged
with perjury. Jerry was before Judge
Sparks in the City Court, charged with
an offense and he made the states wit
ness swear falsely. Judge Sparks
then bound Jerry and the witness both
over to the Superior Court, and they
have been unable to give bond. Jerry
can raise $250 in cash for a bond, but
Judge Sparks refuses to reduce it from
SSOO.
This is in line with his efforts to
break up illegal traffic in liquor and
v-omer. which has flourished here for
so many years. The attention of the
court and Solicitor Colson has now
been called to “A street lane," a noto
rious resort, and law abiding citizens
Brunswick have requested the City
Court officials to prosecute the women
that infest this locality. The publicity
of these requests will probably result
in active prosecution of offenders, and
the result ia being awaited with inter
est.
In the cases of the state vs. Peter
Joseph. James Henderson and Jack
Blake charged with selling liquor on
St. Simons Island, counsel for defend
ants demurred to the state’s charges,
alleging that the local act under which
the suits .were brought, was unconsti
tutional.
Judge Sparks sustained the demur
rer in each of these cases and threw
them out of the City Court.
The _act is a special act, dated Feb.
26 1877, and the grounds of demurrer
were that the caption did not contain
language that would warrant insertion
in the body of the act of any prevision
or section prescribing a punishment
for a violation of the law.
Judge Sparks held that the second
section -was imconstitutional. in that
It contained matter different from what
was expressed in the caption of the
act and that the language used in the
caption of the act was not sufficiently
comprehensive to warrant the inser
tion.
••PURELY ORIGINAL VERSE.”
J. Gordon Coogler. “Bard of the Cob
graree." I. Dead.
Columbia, S. C„ Sept. 9J. Gordan
Coogler, knows far and wide as “The
Bard of the Congaree," the river upon
whoee banks Columbia la built, died
quite suddenly to-day.
Mr. Coogler was S$ years old. His
father died when the young poet was
a boy, and his family, having little
of thirf world's goods, he was forced
to face the world. This he did brave
ly, going to work to support hie moth
er and sisters. He became a printer,
working for the Christian Neighbor of
this city several years.
Mr. Coogler established a job office
and was successful. He there com
posed. "set up” and printed his first
"original verses ” The sixth edition of
his verses was recently issued from his
office.
The originality of his poems have at
tracted attention that has been unique.
Great journals and magazines all over
this country have noted them and in
variably In a vein of approval No
tice* have also been given in England
and copies of the poems ordered by
members of the nobility.
While a hard worker, Mr. Coogler's
health had always been excellent until
te death of his mother, some months
ago. The death of a sister last month
had a further depressing effect on the
yeung man. He lived for his family,
and his poetic works had added great
ly to his income. He had been failing
for two weeks, but greeted his friends
on the street but a few days ago.
Mr. Coogler was of pleasant man
ners, genial disposition and of the high
est character.

The best and safest medicine or. earth is the medicine that makes you
etronger than your disease —and makes pure flesh and blood scrouge out
impure flesh and blood If you are stronger than your ailment it is a
matter of short time when that ailment will not exist Rheumatism will
not be rheumatism any more than itch will not be itch when your blood
is pure. GRAYBEARD COMPOUND makes it pure. It makes you stronger
than your disease. It makes you eat. It maket you digest. It gives vou
as near perfect womanhood and manhood as you will get on earth.
Graybeard Is absolutely free of mercury or potash. It Is purely vegeta
ble. and aside from eradicating deep-seated diseases of adults. It Is the
finest thing invented for puny chilren. They should have it by all
means. In the language of ten thousand who -suffered once, Graybeard
cures when everything else falls.”
GRAYBEARD CURES DYSPEPSIA,
“GRAYBEARD cured me of dyspepsia."
“Nervous Dyspepsia. i
T did not suffer continually, but had four or five stacker* every year At
such times my suffering was intense. I almost despaired of life, though the
doctors did what they could for me.
“Last spring I began to take GRAYBEARD. I improved from the first,
and had but one attack since—that was the lightest I ever had GRAYBEARD
is the only thing that has made me feel like my*e!f.
MRS 8. S CLARY, Greensboro, Ala
SENT HOME TO DIE.
tTe have just received this letter from Mr. A Nixon Logan. 0.. whe has
sold many hundreds dollars' worth of GRAYBEARD It has cured many
people in the state of Ohio of all diseases and has a big reputation there:
“Ship me a quarter gross more of GRAYBEARD. One of my customers
Is a lady who was sent home from hospital last spring to die of Cancer.
Through the recommendation of or.e of her friends she began to take GRAY
BEARD and is improving rapidly. A. NIXON, Logan. O."
MR. JOHN VAUGHN OF HOLTS CORNER, TENN., WRITES:
. “Send me more .GRAYBEARD I am using it for Rheumatism and find
that it does me more good than all other remedies. Before taking GRAY
BEARD I could not sleep at all nights. Lay swake all night In pain most of
the time. GRAYBEARD COMPOUND made me sleep fine, and I'm restored.”
This is the statement of nearly every sufferer of Rheumatism. Rheuma
tism, as we say, coraes of acid in the blood. This may be produced in many
different ways It sometimes comes of exposure, by constant use of mercury
or potash, by Indiscretions which destroy or render inactive the digestive or
gans and upset the liver and kidneys. GRAYBEARD cure* Rheumatism In
every single instance If taken properly and persistently.
CURED OF RHEUMATISM.
I suffered of rheumatism a long time, and found nothing to relieve me
until I took GRAYBEARD. I tried most everything I heard of. that to. In
the line of blood medicine*. All of them failed. GRAYBEARD cured me
sound and well. I can’t pratoe it enough. I will recommend it to anybody
having Rheumatism. C. C. CLARK, No. 430 Park avenue.
