6 High Class Druggists AND— OTHERS. Tho bettor class of drugpists, everywhere, .are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the weir informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Cos. —printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the Immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Cos. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts co misrepresentation and aud deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform tlie public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices. PROPOSED SITE OF RIFLE RANGE DUE EAST OF GOLF CLUB. LENGTH OF NEARLY 8 MII.ES FROM FIRING LIKE TO RIVER. But ORf Olmtncle Now In NVny > I HiiHiik l’luni, Adopted nntk Work on Hanftr HpK'tn—This Objection May Hr Krmoved at n Conference of IntereztH to Hr Held NVit Week. City nml County Jointly Mny llnrilea llonil to Lend Uliwtly From Imatrru End of Perry St. to Flrlnit l ine of Range. Much regret was expressed yesterday that the Interests Involved in the pro ject to secure anew rifle range for the militia had not been able to reach an agreement at the joint meeting the day before, so that work on the range could be begun at once. It is hoped that at the next conference, to be held probably Wednesday, that more satis factory results will be accomplished. Tfle committee representing the mili tia, particularly Capt. W. G. Austin, has been untiring in its efforts to have the new' range built, and with |'nis end In view, has expended an amount of energy and accomplished an amount of work that all interested in the project would regret to see w'asted, partic ularly as there is now but one obsta cle in the way of a suecnsful con summation of th plans that it has taken so long to perfect, and which promise a range that would be the equal of any in the United States, and which would be of value not only to the militia, but to the business inter ests of the city as well, as it would mean that many marksmen would be attracted to the city because of It. Locution of Hunge. The site selected for the new range la peculiarly adapted for the purpose. It lies a mile and a quarter directly east of Bilbo canal, where the canal is crossed by what is known as the old Jones road, and about 2,000 yards south of the Tybee track, with which It is parcelled, extending along the ’Jhigh land, which would forlm the range proper, 1,000 yards from the firing line, at the extreme west of the property, to a line of Confederate earth works, which would form the back stop, and then over a track of marsh that eactends to Wilmington river, dis tant hom the firing line nearly three miles. The width of the range is I.SBO feet allowing the following plan of targets which has been adopted for use. should the range be secured: Beginning at *he extreme right, four pistol targets at 25 yards, four at 50 and four at 75, 8 targets at 200 yards, 8 at 300. For Kitchen and Bath Is Cheapest and Best. One-pound package sc. AH grocers. 8 at 500, 8 at 600, 8 at 800, 8 at 900 and 8 at 1,000, extending from the last ■named targets to the extreme left of the range will be a space of 360 feet reserved for use in skirmish firing. All firing will be done from a general firing line, which means that all dan ger is eliminated in the use of . the range though every target be in use at the same time. Approaches Needed. In order to make the range easy of approach the committee of the mi litia has suggested to a committee representing City Council that the city extend and harden Perry street as far as Bilbo canal, and that the coun ty authorities continue the work from that point along the Jones road through the Lawton property, through the Golf Club grounds, which it en ters almost directly east and through which it passes between the line of old fortifications, which are now used as bunkers, coming out to the west of the golf links directly on the firing line of the proposed range. Both the city and the county au thorities are inclined to consider the requests favorably, especially as the new range will be a permanency, and as the road proposed is one that has long been needed, and can make ex cellent connections with other recent ly Improved roads that are much used. The property owners who own the rights of way are ready to donate these largely on account of the rifle range. One of the principal connections with the proposed road would he the Oaus ten Bluff road, which it is Intended to harden, and which would thus furnish a continuous driveway over good roads from the city to the range, then around by the Golf Club, and either to the city, or to Thunderbolt via Moore ave nue. Such a road would be of great convenience and benefit to the mem bers of the militia, the Golf Club and the Forest City Gun Club, besides add ing another good road to the use of automobllists. Ri'ttrr Range Tlinn Sen Girt. How excellent a range the new one will be, if perfected according to pres ent plans, may be seen from the fact that it will have a distinct advantage over evn so fine a one as that at Sea Girt, N. J., where many of the great est matches of the country have been shot In recent years. One of the points of superiority will be the general firing line, the lack of which is the great drawback to the New Jersey range. Another great ad vantage that the local range will have Is that it could he adapted to meet any and all requirements. In proof of this it is explained that in case the National Trophy Shoot be held here the targets can be so ar ranged that forty teams can take part in the contest at once. MAY ADDRESS GRAND JI7RY. Judge f'miii A.keil to Preside fit An auxin for Jiidae Gury. A communication from the members of the Augusta Bar Association was received yesterday by Judge Cann ask ing him to preside Judge Gary in the Augusta circuit on the third Mon day in April. It is probable that the invitation will be accepted. Judge Gary is ill and instructed the Bar Association to employ its good services in un effort to secure another judge, to preside in Augusta. The extending of the invitation to Judge Cann, in preference to the other Geor gia Judges, is quite a compliment. If the April docket will allow of his ab sence Judge Cann will accept the in vitation. Col. WitUely Points to Glevrlntid. Valdosta, Ga., April 1. —Col. Eben ezer Wakely, who formerly resided in Chicago, and who was president of the American Free Silver clubs, and au thor of various books advocating free coinage, says he believes Cleveland will be the Democratic nominee for presi dent. He says, too, that Cleveland is the logical candidate, and the best man the Democrats can put up, now that the money question has adjusted itself. He thinks that Cleveland and Col. Fred. Grant would sweep the country. The Democrats need a man on their ticket, he says, with enough gold lace and tinsel to catch the young military element of the West. Tried lor llurglnry and Assault.

Bainbridge, Ga., April I.—At a meet ing of the City Council last night Dr. R. L. Hicks was asked to be present and sjiow reasons why he had made certain statements in an article pub lished in the Democrat of Thursday charging that “hundreds of people are sickt'or dying in Bainbridge for want of surface drainage. One or more deaths are occurring every week in Bainbridge for want of surface drain age. Yet the town council of Bain bridge have ignored these glaring facts. They are spending thousands of dol lars on a public park." Other physicians who were asked to he present and were there, were Drs. J. D, Chason, Toole, Berry, Morgan, Cheatham and Chestnut. When asked as to his statement as to the death rate in Bainbridge, Dr. Hicks admitted that he was wrong. The matter of hygienic and sanitary conditions was brought up and Dr. Chason made some remarks. Dr. Hicks replied that the doctors knew nothing about the hy gienic and sanitary conditions of the city. Dr. replied that the statement was false, as the doctors were paid to know such things, and they did know them. Before Dr. Cha son could sit down, Dr. Hicks got up and reached Into his inside coat pocket, but was seized by Chief of Police Smart. Negro Woman Assaulted Near Dong la n. Douglas.

Simmon* Entered I'pon a fritielnm of tlie Government for Not Invei tigiiling the I*o*tnttlce Depart ment— Sold Democrat* Will Have an Ideal Man for I‘reKident, Whereupon Reveridjfe I’re*ed Him Hard. Washington, April I.—ln the Senate to-day Mr. Simmons spoke in favor of the desirability of a congressional investigation into Postofflce Depart ment affairs. Mr. Simmons declared that the in vestigation into the affairs of the Post office Department had been limited to only one branch of the department, and said that “wherever graft was looked for there graft was found; that when ever crime was looked for, there crime was found: that wherever swindling and corruption were looked for there swindling and corruption had been found.” If all this had been*found m one branch of the department, there was no right to assume that similar conditions would not be found to exist in other branches. Hence, there could be no justification of denial of an in quiry by Congress. Mr. Simmons said the reason the in quiry had not been extended to the entire Postofflce Department was found in “the fuar that such a condition of things would be discovered as would make necessary an inquiry into the af fairs of ail the executive departments in Washington, and that such an in vestigation might uncover a condition that would cause the defeat of the Re publican party in the presidential elec tion." In response to questions from Mr. Beveridge. Mr. Simmons said that he did not doubt that if crime was brought to the immediate attention of the Pres ident he would disapprove of it. He did not concede, however, that the President had done any more than his duty, and he repeated his charge that it had only been refused because of fear of disagreeable developments. Only Two Tried. He called attention to the fact that, notwithstanding there had been thir ty-three indictments as a result of the Bristow report, only two of the fifteen government employes Indicted had been tried, and that it is now pro claimed that both are Democrats. Mr. Beveridge asked if Simmons would not concede "that the source of the fountain head of the corruption discovered had been found in the last Democratic administration.” "So far as Machen is concerned,” the North Carolina senator replied, “Bris tow says that is true.” Mr. Beveridge wanted Mr. Simmons to admit that all the corruption dis covered had centered in Machen, but Mr. Simmons would only say that he had no information on the subject ex cept that supplied by Mr. Bristow. In connection with the charges against members of Congress. Mr. Simmons asserted that while all in criminating charges were givpn all the exculpating charges have been sup pressed. He charges that the effort had been to divert attention from the department, hut said that the Repub lican party need not build any hopes on success in that direction, for, de spite such efforts the postoffice frauds would be an issue in the next cam paign. The fifteen states represented by Democratic senators had a right to demand such an inquiry. "Does the Senator mean to Intimate that it may result in a Democratic victory in the South?” Mr. Spooner sarcastically asked. Roosevelt Already. Speaking of the next campaign, Mr. Simmons said that the Republicans al ready had in effect nominated as their presidential candidate the present oc cupant of the White House. De scribing the President, he spoke of him as "a man of spectacular propen sities, rash, hard-headed and impul sive a man believed by thousands, aye, by millions, including many in the Republican party, to be by nature and temperament unfitted, because dangerous, to be entrusted with su preme power.” Mr. Simmons then gave 1. atten tion to the prospects on the Demo cratic side, admitting that there are now factional differences in that party, but claiming that they would be heal ed and that the party would give the country “a candidate who would be sober and of a judicial temperament; of sound mind and judicial disposition; a man who will get a large Republican vote because Republicans will know that their interests are safe in his hands.” A number of Republican senators demanded the name of the candidate ‘a.nd some suggested “Parker," but r N Select your Easter Suit from either of these two cele brated makes and satisfaction will be yours always.

Mr. Beveridge replied, thanking Mr. Simmons for the warning that the Re publican party must fight for its life in the next campaign. He referred to his Inquiry of Mr. Simmons as to where the corruption in the Postofllce Depart ment originated and declared that he had succeeded in securing the admis sion that the Postofllce Department frauds had had their origin in a Demo cratic administration, and he congratu lated the country that the discovery had been made at a time whea there was an administration possessed of sufficient courage to apply the lancet and let out the poison. He then entered upon a eulogy of President Roosevelt’s leadership, say ing that It had been so wise and pa triotic as not only to command the united support of his own party in the Senate, but also to force a division on the Democratic side of the chamber. “The Senator from North Carolina,” he went on, “has told us of candidates, but not of Issues. We want it under stood that we shall have issues, and that we shall not only defend them, but that we shall attack those who attack them.” He went on to say that the announcement that the Democrats have a candidate is news to every body, and he Insisted that Mr. Sim mons should gratify the curiosity of the Senate by giving his name. “Tell us who he is,” Mr. Beveridge appeal ing to Mr. Simmons. "I decline to enlighten the Senator." Mr. Simmons responded, “because I am not myself enlightened as to what his name will be, but I know what his qualities will be.” Mr. Beveridge: "So you have the qualities and are looking for a man to locate them on—a bag of vague and diaphanous qualities without an own er.” Mr. Simmons: "Our candidate will be such a man as will Insure the sup port of the large element of your par ty who will be afraid to support your candidate.” Parker or Henrstt Mr. Beveridge: “Then give us his name. Is it Judge Parker?” Mr. Simmons: "He’d make a very good one, but I do not undertake to say who the candidate will be.” Mr. Beveridge: "The Senator insists on reticence as to Judge Parker; pos sibly he will tell us whether it is his fellow-citizen, Mr. Hearst. What does he say to that?” Mr. Simmons: “I have stated that I had in mind the name of no particu lar man; I don’t think the Senator should press the inquiry further. The Senator knows it is not proper that 1 should attempt to name the man in view of the fact that the Democratic candidate will be nominated by the Democratic convention, and not as the result of the dictation of any boss.” Mr. Beveridge: “Is you candidate Judge Parker?” "That iS a secret,” answered Mr. Simmons. "Well, is it Mr. Hearst?” again asked Mr. Beveridge. "It would be improper to reply,” said Mr. Simmons. "Then.” remarked Mr. Beveridge, ‘"according to the Senator from North Carolina, Judge Parker is a secret and Mr. Hearst is improper.” Mr. Beveridge concluded, predicting great difficulty on the part of the Dem ocrats in agreeing both on candidate* HERMAN MYERS, President. .7.
