Newspaper Page TextWhat Is th Disstst that is Ciming Upon Os ? Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. The pa tients have pains about the chest and sides, and soineties in the back. They feel dull and sleepy, the mouth has a bad taste, espe cially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint, all gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet be come cold and clammy. After a ■while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greenish colored expectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irrita ble and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is jaddg *ness, a sort of whirling sensa tion in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yel low, the urine is scanty and high colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is fre quently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour ?aste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes im paired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and -weakness. Al of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our popula tion has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that physi clans have mistaken the cause of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc , but none of these kinds of treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspepsia. It is also found that Shaker Ex tract of Roots, or Mother Sei gel’s Curative Syrup, when properly prepared will remove this disease in all its stages. Care should be taken, however, to secure the genuine article. IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN COTTON. Mr. John (J. Hemptinstall, of Chulafirmee, Cleburn county, Ala , writes: “My wife has been so much benefited' by Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigel’s Syrup that >he says she would rather be without part of her food than without the medicine. It has done her more good than the doctors and all other medi cine put together. I would ride twenty miles to get it into the hands of any sufferer if he can get it no other way. I believe it will soon sell in this State better than cotton.” TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS. Mrs. S. E. Barron, of Vainer, Ripley county, Mo., writes that she had been long afflicted with dyspepsia and di-ease of the urinary organs and was cured by Shale r Extiact of Roots. Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant, of the same place, who sold Mrs. Barton the medicine, says he has sold it for tour years and never kpew it to fail. SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD. I was so low with dyspepsia that there was not a physician to be found who could do any thing with me. I had fluttering of the heart and swimming of the head. One day I read your pamphlet called ’‘Life Among the Shakers,” which described my disease better than I could myself. I tried the Shaker Extract of Roots and kept on with it until today I rejoice in good health. Mrs. M. E. Tins ley, Bevier r Muhlenburg coun ty, Ky.

DROWNED IN THE CHATTAHOOCHEE. GEORGIA. The Franklin News prints the following: Mre. f’l'ilpolt. the mother-in-law of Dr. O. C. Brittain. Late in tire aft moon, Mrs. Brittain, who herself has been qn'.u* unwell f:r several days, was called to give some instructions about some newly killed meat. As she passed out to obey her call she was met by her mother with the statement: “Lizzie, I believe I’ll go visiting this even ing.” She was gone when Mrs. Brittain returned to her room. As she frequently visited the neighbors near by nothing was thought of her absence. As night approached, however, she did not return. Members of the family went in various directions to the houses of neighbors she usually visited, but no one had seen her. At this juncture uneasiness became alarm, and aid having been summoned a "general search was instituted, but with out success. On being told of the fruitless search, Mrs. Linch. an intimate neighbor of the family, remembered that she hail seen Mrs. Philpott in the late afternoon going to ward the river, but as she had frequently seen her walking in the field fronting the house and being quite busy had clearly forgotten having seen her. This only intensified the alarm. Lights were procured, and the tracks of the aged mother were easily followed to the river and into the water. She could not have fallen into the river. The bank is very low at the place of her entrance to the stream, but comparatively eddy. It is hardly possibly that her body can be far away, notwithstand ing after two days careful search it has not been fouud. A large number were engaged in dragging the river. No one can account for Mrs. Philpott’s strange course. Sue was sur rounded by every comfort her old age could wish, and had attained the ripe age of eighty one years. She had frequently expressed a desire to die, however, and si®, is the death of her husband about a year ago her aversion to living has gradually strengthened. No one, though, ever dreamed that she would pursue such a course to end her existence. Sire locked and retained the keys to all her chests and trunks prior to leaving, and none of them have been opened. The indefatigable attorneys of R. T. Jones, the murderer of the three Pressleys, in Edge field, 8. C., have at last succeeded in securing his release on a satisfactory bond for SIO,OOO. At the August, 1886, term of court Judg Wallace signed an order granting bail to Jones in the sum of SIO,OOO, requiring, how ever, that the bondsmen qualify in a sum dou ble that subscribed, virtually obtaining a bond good for $20,000. Four ineffectual efforts were made by Jones's brother-in-law, T. M. Dearmond, and others, to file a bond in accordance with that order, but they were not able to give such bond as the clerk of the court would accept. Major W. T. Gary went over from Augusta and ap peared before Clerk Durieso, and after a very thorough examination into the financial standing of Jones’s friends, who were anxious to be considered the agency of Jones’s libera tion from confinement, a bond, which is good beyond all peradventure, was made up, and Jones at 5 o’clock breathed once more the free air of heaven. The fecundity o the LeConte pear trees near Albany is remarkable. Many of the trees have borne two crops this year. Ono man has a tree which has not only borne two crops of pears, but has flowered for a third crop. Mr. A. F. Tift, of this city, has upon his place, in Key West, Fla., a wonderful grape vino covering a great trellis. This viue bears four crops every year. The first matures about the latter part of May, the fourth crop about this season. The grapes grow in exceedingly compact clusters, many ol them weighing as much as eight pounds, and the vine is literally loaded with bunches. It is a native o£ the West India islands, probably of Jamaica. As an illustration of the dense nature of the bunches, the grapes grow so thick upon them that the center grapes frequently cannot reach the sunlight to mature. The outside grapes can bo picked off as needed, and the mass of grapes beneath the outside layer left to ripen. The resolutions sent up by the Ma con depositors in the Freedman's bank will receive attention. Jeff Long, the committee of one who is selected by the Macon depositors to deliver the resolution to Congressman Blount, says that Congress man Blount is iu receipt of "the following let ter: Executive Mansion, Washington, No vember, 19, 1887.—Hon. James 11. Blount, Macon, Ga.: Dear Sir—The president directs me to acknowledge tiie receipt of your letter of the 15th inst., enclosing a petition from certain stockholders of the Freedman’s bank, and to say that consideration will be given to their request. Very respectfully, D. 8. Lamont, Private Secretary. The Macon depositors are highly elated at the interest manifested iu their behalf by Congressman Blount, and are very much en couraged by President Cleveland’s assurance to give their request consideration. There is about $52,000 owed by the bank to the Macon depositors. Tuesday, about 10:30 p.m., a pistol startled the residents near the reservoir, just at the edge of the city limits of Macon. A few minuets later Bam Grant dashed into Eli Wilson’s yard and called for admittance, saying, as he struck the door, “Please, sir, let me in, for I’m shot.” Eli, who had retired, sprung to the door, and. opening it, Sam staggered inside and fell, the blood streaming from a wound in his left arm, just below the shoulder. Eli tells the following story: He says he heard distinctly seven other shots, and claims that a crowd of nine young men, armed with guns and pistols, came crowding about his gate, threatening to fire on the house. Eli parleyed with them, and for a while they—Continued to sxvear vengeance on him and his home, but finally, ho says, he prevailed on them to leave, by threats of the law, and they scattered, disappearing in different direc tions. Dr. Rush Brown was called and dressed Sam’s wounds, and then the negro, who is about nineteen years old, told his story. He said that he was returning from Friend ship church, from which he came away before preaching was over so as to be up early.and get to his work at Mr. Findley's. Just as he passed the upper end of the reservoir he en countered a young white man. who said: “Say, was that you whistling at me?” “No,” answered the negro, “It was some other boys ahead of me xvlio whistled. I know nothing about who they were whistling at, you must go and ask them. ” He says that the young man became enraged, and with an oath remarked, “I’ll settle with you.” and “bang,” went a pistol striking Sam’s arm as he threw it up. Hu then ran down the street, and in a lew minutes the crowd gath ered. Among the other shots, one struck George Lamar, a negro boy who works for Dr. James A. Darnour, the ball or buckshot passing through his coat sleeve. Another boy, whose name could not be learned, was badly injured by a blow from a rock thrown by some one. For a while it is said that the riot was fearful, but being outside the city, there was no police to interfere, and no arrests have been made nor warrants sworn out up to this writing. A young white man, John Tracy, whom the reporter could not see, was claimed to have done the shooting. A rumor, the the authenticity of which has not been veri fied, gives this young man credit for claiming that tlio negro met him just after he had left the home of a young lady whom ho had es corted from church, and that Sam shoved him rudely, ami when ho called him to time the negro answered by cursing him and using very offensive language, when the young man pulled doxx non him with his pistol. At.‘.tip r story is told by one who was aroused by a messenger sent from the set no of the riot. Tie says that when he get there the negro was lying iu tire ya.d near Eli Wilson’s door, ano that there was a big crowd of negroes gather <1 around the di or.

This i:i-u informant says that lie onlysaw three white boys when he went to Wilson's place, and that they did not appear belligerent at that time, but the negroes were raising eain. It will be remembered that Mr. John Parker, a young white man, was attacked on a Satur day night about 11 o'clock, two years ago. out on Fourth stree:, by a crowd of negroes, simi lar to the assault on Mr. Tracy lust night, and Mr. Parker was badly cut. anil was confined to his bed some time. Mr. Parker also hurt one of the negroes severely by striking him oxer tlio head with a stick. Grant, the nogio shot last night, xvas also in the crowd that assaulted Parker. Thursday Judge Speer sent an order to Jailer Birdsong, that he release all United States prisoners confined in tlio Bibb county jail. Judge Speer’s action was caused by the fact that the jailer complained there were not blankets fumi-hed sufficient to make tho men comfortable. Mr. Birdsong says that lie applied to the United States court authorities for the necessary supplies, and that only six pairs of blankets were sent, and that ho could not afford to use the county blankets for United States prisoners, and that they were suffering. The men were very jubilant over their re lease. and departed for their homes this after noon, rejoicing over tlio lucky coincidence that resulted in their liberation. When brought before Judge Speer, accord ing to his order, this morning his honor took occasion to give them a talk. He. said : You have been brouirhtbul of jail to be informed that 1 puipasc to suspend your sentences during your geo I behavior for reasons that are satisfactory to the court, and among them is the hardship, which, 1 learn, you are eon.palli dto end 1 , re in jail because of the lack of warm:.. an.

It is a thing eldom done by a .judge, and I take a great responsibility in d ;ii:q it,' but I lake it cheerfully, with the hope and belief that you will appreciate tho clemency that is shown you. and that whim you gel to your homes yon will' not arain vijlate the laws of the government. which has. through its court, shown yon this m; ivy. I say to you all now, you arc marked men. You are os'well known to the officials of the government as you could will be. If yon viol.te the laws again and come before this court yon will get the extreme penalty of the law. You are nil intelligent men. some of you much more so t.’.an the othe:s. ; n t let me give you a word of well-meant advice*. Honesty and obedience to the laws i r? ever the l est policy-.

You may gel a few paltry dollars, hut they xvill soon go and xvill do yon no b >d; they are like the apples of Sodom that are biltir to the taste, though pleasant to the ri Jit. The xvay of the tin c.s gressor is hard. We have 1:11. h* authority forthat statement, ami whether you believe in the itible or not, I d>, and I have lived long enough to see tiib wisdom of its truths. You may now go to your homes, and I trust you will greet your wives and children with an honest purpose to respect and obey the laws of your coun try and become u.-efol, respectable and happy mem bers of society. Gainesville Eagle: In conversation with some revenue officers, the other day, one of them remarked: “Yes,moonshining is greatly on the decrease in this section.” “Why ?” we asked. “The in formers, among the women es pecially, have made it too hot for them. A still can scarcely get under way before we are fully posted as to its whereabouts, the parties concerned in it, and all about it; the conse quence is, we almost invariably capture it and arrest the parties running it.”" “Then we are to infer that most of these men are quitting the business?” “By no means. Many of them only change their base: they go over in o Alabama.” “Why to Alabama?” “When wo get hold of them and they are brought be fore Judge Newman, if they are. old offenders, or what are known as “hard cases,” they catch it and no mistake. He generally gives them the extent of the law, and they have already found out that it is no child’s play with him. The thing is different in Al abama. however, from what I can learn. Over there the judges seldom impose imprisonment, merely a tine, and by taking a pauper’s oath, the offender soon gets rid of that and loses but little. Rev. Groves H. Cartlcge, in the Carnesville Register writes: “Your correspondent, Shrimps, in the Register of November Ist, asks for tho number of tho Crockett family murdered by the Indians, and also the date of the tragedy. If your correspondent had* read the Register during the last summer ho would have learned all that is known of the Crockett family. Twice within the last ten years the tale of tho massacre has been published in the Register, the last publication having been made last summer. The date of tlio tragedy is not known. It was probably about 1790, the county of Franklin having been laid off in 1784. The family consisted of nine persons— tho widow and eight children, the oldest son, William, being 25 years old, and expecting to be married a week later. Most of the children, tradition says, were daughters. When tho late James 11. Little, then a very young man, rode up to warn the family of the danger from tho Indian raid, William Crocket was sitting in the door, making a pair of shoes to wear at his own wedding the next week. And being pressed for time, be resolved to risk the danger from the Indians. Doubtless your correspondent is misinformed when he says that Mr. W. 15. Detter is now using in building a new house, tho same sills, joists and rafters which were in the house in which the Crocketts were mur dered. The Crockett house was a mere log cabin, and stood near the creek, and I suppose the very last relic of it has long ago disap peared. I suppose the sills, joists and rafters which Mr. Detter is using, belonged to the old Mangum house. After the Crocketts, a Mr. Mangum, the father of the late Howell Man gum, obtained possession of the Crockett tract of Jan.l, mid built a new house, which formerly stood near Mrs. Coker’s, anil has been moved a time or two. Tradition, t.he truth of which I cannot vouch for, says that when old man Mangum about tho beginning of this century, built his new house he removed the monument of rocks from the one grave in which all the Crocketts had been buried by neighbors and built them into Ids chimney. The grave was on a bluff near the creek. All the statements I have given were heard thirty-live years ago from the lips of old people, who have long since gone to their eternal home. West Point Press: Mr. Tom Johnson lost a fine horse yesterday—it is believed from the effects of hydrophobia. Just a month ago a mad dog bit this same horse and several calves. Air. Johnson’s horse showed no signs of being sick until last Wednesday afternoon, after being turned into the lot from tho plow. Ho gradually became worse and acted strangely Thursday night. Friday morning Mr. John son brought his horse to tlio city to see if any of our many veterinary surgeons could tell him what to do for the suffering animal. Soon after reaching the city the horse began to have convulsions and died in great agony in about an hour. While in convulsions the horse would chew his tongue and beat his head against the ground until his eyes were almost knocked out. There was no one present who ever saw a horse with hydrophobia, but wo are satisfied that the bite of the mad dog, men tioned above, was the cause of the horse’s vio lent death. The health officers of the city of Savannah were stirred up Thursday, and they have been trying to keep it quiet. A leper, with a highly developed stage of the dreadful disease, report ed at the police barracks, anil requested to bo furnished with a permit to the city hospital But the nature of his sickness was not sus pected by the chief of police. Dr. Duncan, superintendent of the hospital, was sent for, and at once pronounced him a leper, and noti fied the mayor. Dr. Owens, city physician, and Dr. T. J. Charlton, also visited the bar racks and examined the man, and agreed with Dr. Duncan that the man was suffering from a genuine case of leprosy. Dr. Duncan is of tho opinion that it would be prudent to get the man out of the city,and it would be also better to return him to his own home, where his relatives might care for him. The victim of tho awful malady gave hisnatno as Ellas Cohen. His homo was Lawtonville, tlio chief city of the black swamp r gion < t South Carolina.

Nothing was thought of her threats until her eldest daugh ter, and Mr. M arren Gaston, who happened to le visiting there suddenly became very ill. A phy-ician was called in who instantly stated that they had been poisoned with strychnine. The bucket of water on tho rear portico looked peculiar and as the three sick ones were the only persons that had partaken of it. Upon investigation tracks corresponding to a woman’s shoo were f >and near the bucket and Amanda was at once suspieioned as doing tho hellish deed. Site vyas carried before J ustico Colbert where sufficient evidence was adduced as to warrant her removal to the comity jail to await a hear ing before Judge Fain. Tho woman is only twenty-one years of age, married and lias three children. Mr. Tom Brice, of Hall county, camo out of tho war with no eartlily possessions, to speak of, but a wife and four children. He went to work on rented land, struggled and saved, and he said hist Tuesday: “1 have never bought a gram of corn, nor a pound of meat. 1 have always managed to have ready money topay iny taxes and moot other liabilities. 1 have bought me a homo ami have paid for it. I have raised andeducati'd my children in a re spectable manner. 1 have a plenty to eat at home, and now my cotton is all clear profit, and I can hold it nr sell it, just as I please. ’ If such as this does not prove, “that there is more iu the man than the *4.,,” what does it prove ?

The parties were two countrymen, and alter a good dial of palavering oil both sides, one agreed 10 swap the other tils magnificent young Texas p ny and tzo fora mule he hull. The ex change was made and both parties seemed happy.

Champion, of Worth county, it is learned that hog cholera has inado its dread appearance in liis section. Mr. Cham pion says that he lias raised tho finest lot of hogs he has raised in years, and fears that they will be attacked. It surely seems that with nil the progress in knowledge of diseases and remedies that some euro and preventive of hog cholera could be found. Captain J. M. McAfee, of Cherokee, has re cently lost some 25 or JO In ad of his lino st ill fed fattenin'.', hogs of cholera. Ho had, a few weeks ago, 125 head of as fine promising pork ers ns ustiallx seen, but his recent losses are very materially lessening the number. The wife of Mr. 11. I.

SOUTH CAROLINA. In the senate today, the bill to provide for tho relief of certain soldiers, sailors, and widows of soldiers or sailors of the late war between tho .state;;, was passed by a vote of 32 to 2, tho negative votes being cast by the two colored republican senators from Georgetown anil Beaufort. The bill provides that all disabled soldiers and sailors of the confederacy now re siding in South Carolina, or their widows while they remain unmarried, shall bo entitled to receive from the state a monthly pension of $5, upon the following conditions, viz: “In or der to obtain the benefit of this act, such sol dier or sailor must show, first, that he was a bona fide soldier or sailor in the service of the state of South Carolina, or of tho confederate states, in the war between the states; second, that while in such service he lost a leg or arm, or received any wounds causing permanent disability to incapacitate him from earning a livelihood; third, that neither himself nor his wife is the owner of property exceeding SSOO, as assessed for taxation ; fourth, that ho is not receiving an income exceeding the amount of $250 per annum.” In the house, a bill to establish a new county from portions of I >arlington, Williamsburg and Marion counties, to be known as Florence comity, gave rise to a spirited debate. Tho discussion mailc it apparent that the move ment was popular with tho great body of tho citizens of Um portions of the three counties included inlho proposed now county, while there, seemed to bo no very serious objection to the change on the part of tho other people concerned. The bill was finally passed by a fair majority, and its friends are confident that it will also pass the senate. In the house, tho bill to establish a homo for disabled confederate soldiers and sailors now residing in the state, passed its third reading, and was sdnt to tin-senate. It provides that each county shall bo entitled to as many in mates in the homo as it has representatives in the lower branch of the general assembly, and in case a county fails to furnish the number to which it is entitled, the vacancies may be filled from other counties. The buildings and grounds are to cost not less than fifteen thou sand dollars, and are to be donated by the county in which the home is tube located. The location of the homo is left to tho discre tion of the bor.rd of directors; an annual ap propriation of SIB,OOO is made to defray the expenses of the home. Those who shall accept the benefit of the home will be precluded from tho I nceiits of any pension bill which may be passed by legislature. The South Carolina conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, convened at Spartanburg Wednesday, in Its hundred and second annual ses sion, Bishop McTy.'ire presiding. This is the largest deliberative religf ius body in the state, representing a membership of t:5,000 souls, or one-elglith of the entire populiillon of the state. The first ses-fon of this coi.lcn nee vi; Ih.ll in Cliiirleston,Miiri b, 1787 'J here were then 2,07.7 white men and boys and 111 colored. The present conference will continue In session until Monday next. A shocking domestic tragedy wait enacted Thursday in I tarlingtoncounty. Fred Edwards, a farmer, was punishing one of his children for atrival olleiise when his wife remonstrated in the child’s behalf. A quarrel ensued and Ed wards knocked his wife down anil beat and choked her unmercifully. While doing so his son John, aged about eighteen years, inter fered and begged his father to desist. Ed wards threw an ax at his son, barely missing him, and proceeded with the brutal jmnisli inent of Ills wife. The son ran into the house and grabbed a gun loaded with slugs and pieces of iron for the purpose of shooting hawks and commanded his father to desist from choking his mother. A daughter was at the time also interfering in behalf of her mother. Edwards paid no heed, and bis son fired. Father, mother and daugh ter fell, each having received a part of the contents of the gun. The mother died in lialf an hour afterwards. Tho daughter is so dan gerously wounded that trtoro Is little hope of her recovery. Unfortunately, the father, who deserved to receive the vx hole load, was slight ly wounded. Before she died, the mother ex hunorated her son from all blame. Ho is now in jail. A distressing unintentional killing occurred at Uaptain A. F. Woolley’s residence, two and a naif miles from Kingston, last Thursday Tho circumstances arc as follows: Mr. Haynes is a young man apparently about twenty years of age, and has been in tho em ploy of Captain Woolley for sonic time, and the care of the horses and stable were among his duties. Captain A. F. Woolley has been in Atlanta for some time on business and during his absence Feaster Wooley, Jr., has been staying with his mother. He is a bright young man of 19 or 20 years, and upto a month ago has been with a surveying corps 011 the Columbus road. Mr. Haynes and Feaster were good friends and roomed together. Last night tlmy went to their room and Fc..«ler retired. Mr. Haynes had not and asked Feaster if the stables were lo ll' d. II replied and said ho did not re member. Mr. Haynes wont out and lok. <1 ctbo stables and coming back took Feast* r’s pistol out from under the pil i' W. lles.ial: "Feaster, why do you keep tins pistol tinder your pillow ?" He replied : “ When f.ither is away from homo mother is afraid, anil Idoso to oblige her.” "It U not I.'. ■■■'■•t: I can t cock it.” Feaster said: “Yea it ja - it’s a g'sxj one. Hand it hero and I’ll sl.ow you." Mr. 11. handed It to Feaster and he was telling hint how to cock it when some hoxv or other, as is always the way in such cases, the pistol tired, shooting Mr. Haynes through tho head, the ball catering at the temple, lie never spoke and died almost instantly. Feaster Woolly and tho whole family are in an agony of distress. An inquest will be held today. A local option bill for tho counties of Abbe ville, Greenville and Oconee elicited a lengthy and heated debate, and was passed by a vote of 73 to 38, by tho legislature. Tho only other matter of im portance disposed of was an effort to repeal the usury law by fixing the legal rate of interest at seven nor cent, and making it a penal olTenso to charge a higher rate, but tho bill was defeated by an overwhelming major ity. As the law now stands, seven per cent is tho legal rate, except where there is a special agreement, in which caso as high as ten per cent may be charged. VIRGINIA. Professor W. J. Wov, of the band of the Vir ginia military institute, was found Tuesday afternoon iu a sink holo near Lexington in a dying condition, ami before medical assistance could bo had, ho was dead. His skull had been crushed in with a rock and his face so badly mutilated that he was only idi n titied by his military uniform.
