Hixon, formerly roadmaster for the Brunswick and Birmingham, resigned that office on March 1 and since that time has been winding up his affairs here preparatory to accepting one of three lucrative offers.

Hixon is an old railroader, and for the past ten years or more was with the Southern.

Searching for Dead Man’s Relntlye*. Valdosta, Ga., March 29.—Supervisor R. T. Waldrep of the Georgia Southern road, and other friends of J. D. Groves, late foreman of a section on that road, are trying to locate the relatives of the latter and get instructions in regard to his remains. Groves died in St. Luke’s Hospital in Jacksonville, last week. The remains were embalmed at Wal drep's request and the body is being held with the hope that the young man's relatives may be located.

He said that this project was still far from completion. Continuing, the Minister of Marine declared that the revival of the mar tial spirit at Port Arthur since the ar wl. 1 th€r ® of Vlce Admiral Makaroff was apparent, and he expressed the hope that the Russians would emerge boldly from the harbor and attack the Japanese fleet. The House unanimously adopted a resolution encouraging the govern- Posing the navy, and pledging itself to spare no cost in the prosecu tlon of the war. TROOPED OUT OF HOUSE WHEN CHURCHILL SPOKE Balfour and His Cohorts Didn’t Like His Censure. London, March 29.—The usual mo tion providing for the adjournment of the House of Commons over the Easter holidays gave the Liberal leader. Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, an op portunity to make a spirited attack on the government. Sir Henry said he did not think it was in accordance with the spirit of the constitution that Pre mier Balfour should retain power when the country had shown at every op portunity afforded it that he no longer enjoyed its favor. Mr. Balfour, replying, said he noted the anxiety of the Liberal leader that he should resign, but he was quite un able to see why the government should take the unprecedented course of re signing office while it retained the con fidence of the House. Sir Henry could settle the question of the government’s resignation or not by a vote of cen sure. Mr. Balfour concluded with declar ing that the government’s fiscal policy was that of real, progressive free trade. When Winston Spencer Churchill (Conservative) rose and pressed Mr. Balfour for a further explanation of the government’s fiscal policy, saying the vacillation of the government had caused him to become one of its op ponents instead of one of its support ers, the Premier and all the Unionists except ten trooped out of the House. The incident led to protests on the part of other memebrs against the discour tesy shown to Mr. Churchill. Th House adjourned until April 12. MERE SPECULATION AS TO OPPOSING FORCES. London, March 30.—N0 Japanese re port of the land operations in Korea has yet been received here, and there is much speculation as to the size of the opposing armies, regarding which there is no reliable information. A correspondent at Russian head quarters in Mukden telegraphs that ac cording to reports received there about 10,000 Japanese have crossed the river at Chin-Changau and 5,000 have ad vanced north from Chong Ju. The Chronicle’s Shanghai correspond ents assert that practically the whole Japanese army in Korea, consisting of 100,000 men, is concentrated at Pak Chen and Anju, only small detach ments being left in Southern Korea to maintain communications. A St. Petersburg special says that a Russian division of 25,000 men from Southern Ussuri is advancing in two columns through Korea. The main col umn, coming along the east coast road, reached Puk Chang, 180 miles from the Tumen river, and the flanking column, consisting of Cossacks and mountain artillery coming along the valley of the Tumen river towards its source, has reached the coast of Lake Tadjl. This column reports that the Japanese are advancing north from Gen San, and that their advance guard is en camped at Chong Ping. It is prob able, however, that none of these re ports can be accepted as authentic. JAPANESE LOST 50; COSSACKS LOST 100. Seoul, March 28, 5:15 p. m.—A report has reached here that fifty Japanese and one hundred Cossacks were killed and wounded In a skirmish that oc curred between Anju and Tingju. The above dispatch probably refers to the engagement reported last night as having occurred March 23, but in which no Cossack losses were men tioned. engineerTurgess BLOWN FROM ENGINE. Rome, Ga., March 29—J. T. Burgess, engineer on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, was seriously hurt this aft ernoon by the blowing out of the ejec tor of his engine. He was blown from the running board of the engine by the force of the steam, his head strik ing the track. He was knocked uncon scious and sustained dangerous inju ries. He is well known.

Washington, March 29.—For the waht of speakers general debate on the sun dry civil appropriation bill In the House to-day was closed several hours before the time agreed upon and the bill was read for amendment. Seven ty-five pages were disposed of, the only Important amendment adopted be ing one providing for an initial ap propriation of $500,000 for the comple tion of the Capitol building according to the original design. Mr. Campbell of Kansas, and Mr. Williams of Illinois were the principal speakers to-day, the former defend ing the protective tariff policy of the Republican party and the latter de nouncing the Republicans for falling to Investigate the Postoffice Department. Mr. Williams declared that the fail ure of the Republicans to investigate the Postoffice Department, “has made the public scandals of this adminis tration a very Important issue In the next campaign.” No one, he said, could read the report of the robbery and larceny In the Postoffice Depart ment and the reckless and notorious methods with which they had been al lowed to continue without fixing some responsibility on the head of that de partment. When, he said, we see th?ae serious charges against the Postoffice Department, the general land office and the Indian bureau with the Re publican party on guard, "at every door that leads into these chambers of public plunder" refusing admittance to the people’s representatives who want an investigation, “what conclusion,” BACON EXPLAINS THAT GORMAN REFERRED ONLY TO GEORGIANS No Reason to Infer That the Maryland Senator Would Not Like the Nomination. By R. M. Larner. Washington, March 29.—Senator Ba con’s letter to the Augusta Chronicle on the Parker boom created a political sensation here, where several booms are being secretly nourished. A dispatch from Augusta, published In a New York paper to-day, quoted Senator Bacon as having written to H. H. Cabaniss of the Chronicle that Senator Gorman had told him that he was not a candidate for the presidency, and that the Georgia people should go ahead with the Parker organization. This dispatch was shown to Senator Bacon this afternoon, who authorized the following statement: “The Augusta dispatch of March 28 to the New York Sun, giving a state ment from Mr. H. H. Cabaniss of the substance of a letter received by him is correct. In order, however, to fully understand the meaning of what I wrote relative to the utterance of Sen ator Gorman, it is proper to state that our conversation related exclusively to conditions in the state of Georgia, and he will not be allowed to go to the front from Harbin until April 2. All the correspondents have been ex pelled from Port Arthur because one of them mentioned In his dispatches important information regarding the movements of Russian troops. corner 7n Violets. John n.

Md. he inquired, “can the people come to except that you are afraid an investi gation will uncover new crimes that will cast more reflections upon the ad ministration.” If, said Mr. Williams, he had to select an issue upon which all Dem ocrats could unite, he would say "Roosevelt must be defeated.” He re ferred to the characterization of Mr. Roosevelt before he became President as the "trust buster,” but, he said, since he came into power all his in dictments against the trusts were at once turned Into apologies. "The trusts long since,” he declared, amid Democratic laughter, "have learned what a harmless agitator he is.” He said that one df the greatest Jokes on the public was perpetrated when the announcement was made, “that Theodore Roosevelt was to be the anti trust candidate in 1g04.” It was no longer a secret, he asserted, that the business Interests of the country, In cluding many who supported McKinley, do not regard President Roosevelt as a safe man. By many, he said, his administration was looked upon as a continuing experiment entirely too theatrical for the business interests of the country without sufficient time be tween acts to allow the people a breathing spell. He further attacked Mr. Roosevelt when he said there were many Inci dents in his administration which Jus tify the apprehension that "on some strenuous occasion he is liable to go off too suddenly and too Inconsiderate ly in some of the graver affairs of the government.” The House adjourned until to-mor row. what he said was limited to what, In his opinion, was the proper course for conservative Democrats in Georgia to pursue, having those conditions in view. “It had no referehce to the general attitude of Senator Gorman as to his personal preference among those spok en of in connection with the Demo cratic nomination." This was all Senator Bacon would say. It leaves the situation regarding Senator Gorman’s possible candidacy just where his friends understood It has been all along, namely, that Sena tor Gorman, of course, would accept the Democratic nomination if it should come to him as the voice of his party, but that Senator Gorman is not en gaged in scrambling for delegates, and is not encouraging his friends to In augurate a campaign to that end. It is considered probable that Sena tor Bacon's letter will attract consid erable attention in the South, and will serve to stimulate the efforts of Demo-, crats who desire a full and free con ference at St. Louis over the relative merits of all candidates to see that the delegates sent are not ail to be Instructed for one man. supply of orchids—particularly those of the popular mauve variety—came like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky to the men on ’Change and the thousands of people who wear violets and are familiar with the Standard Oil Com pany. Mr. Twornbly, who also sells milk, does not, therefore, depend upon {he sale of orchids for his sole reve nue. His gardener gets most of the benefit. Mr. Twornbly merely wears an orchid in his buttonhole now and then, and sometimes inspects the greenhouse. But tt is different up at Dobbs Ferry. Mr. Rockefeller has the best sort of violets grown. He charges anything he wants for them. They are Standard, for the debutante, the matinee girl, or the young man who likes them on his frock. They are Just like oil. Only they bloom Instead of burn. Every member of the famous Hunday-gchool rlass Is presented with a blue bouquet of the finest variety each Sunday. Therefore that day the price of violets downtown Is higher. FRUIT CROP WAS IN NO WAY INJURED SO COMMISSIONER THINKS. FROST WAS SOT SEVERE ENOUGH TO HtRT IT. Only In the Northern Section of the State Wna There Frost—That Was Not Severe Enough to Damage the Prospects for a Fine Crop—ln the Southern Section, the Commission er Thinks, It Was Not Injured la the Least. Atlanta, March 29.—Commissioner O. B. Stevens of the Department of Agri culture says he is satisfied the recent cold spell has not in any way damaged the fruit crop. While there was a light frost in the northern part of the state, it was not sufficiently severe to hurt the crop to any extent. “Even If the frost killed a few of the buds,” said Col. Stevens, “this will not injure the crop, for the trees were so thickly covered with buds that It would have been necessary to strip off many of them, or many of the young peaches. In order that the trees might not be too heavily laden. ‘‘The crop in the southern part of the state was in no wise hurt, in my opinion.” NO DAMAGE TO FRUIT IN SOUTH GEORGIA. Tifton, Ga., March 29. —There was a perceptible frost in this section last night, and no damage to fruit or grow ing crops. Fresh south winds pre vailed to-day. and removed all fear of danger to the peach crop to-night. OBITUARY. Barton N. Ilnrrlnnn, New York. Washington, March 29.—Burton Nor ville Harrison, a lawyer of New York and husband of Mrs. Burton Harrison, the authoress, and father of Congress man Harrison of New York city, died here to-night, aged 65 years. Death resulted from a general break down due partly to old age. Mr. Har rison was born in New Orleans and grndunted from Yale in 1859. During the war Mr. Harrison was private secretary to Jefferson Davis, the Pres ident of the Southern Confederacy, re maining with him in the relation al most of a son as well as of a secretary, to the end of the war. He shared in the capture of Mr. Davis, rather than forsake his fortunes at their fall. When Mr. Davis was carried to Fort Monroe for Imprisonment, Mr. Harrison was sent to prison in Washington and final ly was sent to Fort Delaware, where he remained In solitary confinement until 1866, when he was released. Mr. Harrison during the latter months of his Imprisonment studied law and later went Into the office of former Judge Fullerton in New York, where he has since continued In the practice. Mr. Harrison was a prominent club man In New York. He was secretary to Mayor Wickham of New York, and was largely instrumental In the prose cution of the Tweed ring. He mar ried Miss Constance Cary of Virginia. In addition to Congressman Harrison of 'New York city, Archibald Cary Harrison and Fairfax Harrison of Washington survive him. Gen. William H.

Starr, a prominent and wealthy citizen of this county, died at Starrs ville last night of heart disease. He had been in feeble health for some months. Capt. Starr Was a Confed erate veteran, and a member of the Primitive Baptist Church. He grad uated from Emory College and was a classmate of Dr. I. S. Hopkins and Bishop Haygood. His remains will be laid to rest at the family burying grounds at Starrsville. They cost 25 cents more a hundred, so the greenhouse men say. The train that runs down from Dobbs Ferry about 9 o’clock In the morning Is called the Rockefeller Vio let special. It Is met each day by crowds of local florists, who are anx iouß to make the first bid and get the choicest bunches. The station at that time, as every one knows. Is redo lent with the fresh purple perfume. Mr. Rockefeller now and then comes down in the car himself, and presides at the auction. He knows each bunch of flowers, Its price—and the Btandard Oil rules of procedure hold throughout. Those which are picked by Mr. Rock efeller himself are said to be the most expensive. The day that Mr. Rockefeller’s cow Jumped over the fence and landed In the flowerbed, us well as the time the ladles from the Dobbs Ferry Hetnl nary Inspected the greenhouse, the price of violets In New York city was doubled. It Is said that the merger decision “He Was Very Pale.” “Had no appetite and had a great deal of sore throat.** - : MASTER E. COLE SHOLES. Nobody, not even the most learned scientist living, can tell all of the rea sons why the children do not thrive in growth. We often notice children who have formerly been robust and strong suddenly and without any ap parent cause begin to show signs of falling health. Appetite is not as keen as It was, the cheeks begin to lose their color, and there is a falling off in weight. Food does not nourish as it should, there is a susceptibility to taking cold, and the evidence Is as plain as daylight that the vitality Is lowered. Let us Introduce a letter which ought to be interesting to every mother. Milton Junction, Wls., Nov. 27, 1903. Dear Sirs: I want to tell you what good your Ozomulsion hns done to my little son, now three years old. He had been in delicate health and had suffered a great deal with impnired digestion. He was very pale, had no appetite, and had a great deal of sore throat. He was not strong, and we were very much worried about him. A short time ago I commenced giv ing him Ozomulsion, and the change in him has indeed been remarkable. Whenever I see a pale, thin child now I think of it and wish that the child could have the beneficial proper ties which I know Ozomulsion con tains. Our little son now weighs 33 pounds, has rosy cheeks, a good ap petite, sleeps well and is growing nicely. His digestion is all right, he no longer suffers from constipation, and, in fact, he is the picture of health In every way. We cannot possibly praise Ozomul sion too much, an we are so thankful for what It did to our little boy. Very truly yours. (Signed) (Mrs.) LIZZIE SHOLES. When the mother sees her little child restored to health by Ozomul sion she does not care about the scientific reasons for this change In health; all she cares about is that SENILITY MEANS INCAPACITY FOR ANY MANUAL LABOR Secretary Hithcoch Explains the New Pension Order to the Senate. Washington, March 29,—The Secre tary of the Interior to-day sent to the Senate a communication in response to a resolution offered by Senator Overman directing the secretary to send to the Senate a copy of the order Issued by the department enlarging the pension act of June 27, 1890, and amendments as to the disability of applicants for pensions and to report by what amount the order will increase pensions annually. Secretary Hitchcock, In his reply, maintains that the order referred to Is clearly within executive authority and In conformity with existing laws and methods which have heretofore pre vailed In Its administration. He con tinues: ‘‘Disability, partial or complete, to perform manual labor Is the sole measure of the right to a pension un der this act of June 27, 1890. The ele ment of manual labor Is fundamental. If In adjudication of a pension claim, It shall be determined that the appli cants pensionable disabilities render him wholly incapacitated for manual will not affect this horticultural com bination. The Rockefeler gardener, when In terviewed at Dobbs Ferry to-day, said: "Yes, we have a corner on the violet magknt. Our violets are the best known, most popular, and largest spe cies In the world. Sprinkling them liberally with oil each morning in duces a rapidity of growth and a poignancy of odor that can be obtain ed In no other way. I am sorry to hear that all other violet growers are going out of business, but, as Mr. Rockefeller has so often told us, ’Business is bus iness, In love or war.’ " ANIMALS AT SCHOOL. A Hade Training Which Partake* of the Nature of Piny. John Burroughs In the Century. Is there anything which, without great violence to language, may be called a school of the woods? In the sense In which a playground Is a school —a playground without rules or meth ods or a director—there Is a school of the woods. It is an unkept, an un consclou* school or gymnasium, and Is entirely Instinctive. In play the young of all animate, no doubt, get a certain amount of training and discipline that helps fit them for their careers, but this school Is not pre sided over or directed by purents. though It Is sometime* taken part in by them.

The trouble with children as a rule is that for some unknown reason their systems lack the nourishing properties of food and the growing bodv must languish in consequence. When the child takes Ozomulsion it not only gets the wonderful properties of cod-liver oil in the best possible form for palate and stomach, but it also gets the hypophosphttes of lime and soda, which have a favorable ef fect upon the digestion, fee,d the nerv ous system and sustain the growing brain. This combination of cod liver oil and hypophosphites, as is found in Ozomulsion, Is the best possible rem edy for children who do not thrive. Ozomulsion Is a splendid remedy for coughs and colds and all affections of the throat and lungs. It goes far be yond this, however, in giving vitality to the entire system and bringing back the physical vigor by which all children show their prosperity in growth. For the teething baby that suffers so much distress In its little world Ozomulsion Is a remarkable prepara tion. and in all those conditions in which children do not thrive it is the best remedy which could be employed. Ozomulsion contains no harmful drugs whatever, and is perfectly safe to give to children. Its sweet taste alone commends it, because children like it and do not look upon it as a medi cine.
