tat Is th Disease that is
Gioiii.? UiiOil Os ?
Like a thief at night it steals
in upon us unawares. The pa
tients have pains about the chest
find, sides, and someties 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, atfirst
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
taste 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 C. Hemptinstall, of
Chulafirmee, Cleburn county,
Ala., writes: “My wife has been
so much benefited by Shaker
Extract of Roots or Seigel’s
Syrup that she 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. Barton, of Varner,
Ripley county, Mo., writes that
she had been long afflicted with
dyspepsia and disease of the
urinary organs and W’as cured
by Shaker Extract 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 knew 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

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY. DECEMBER 20. 1887.
“808 AND _HIS PEOPLE."
A Visit to the State of Booms and
Big Hills.
GOVERNOR TAYLOR AND HIS VISITORS
Nashville, Tenn., December 14.—[Staff
Correspondence.]— "Hurrah for Bob and the
windin’ up!"
Such were the words which fell upon your
correspondent’s cars as he entered the office of
the governor of Tennessee. The speaker was
the governor himself, and his listeners were
some of the salt of the state.
“I was just narrating an incident of my con
gressional campaign witli Pettibone,” said
Governor Taylor, "and I will begin it again
for your benefit.”
And the correspondent took his place in a
group composed of a sturdy farmer from
East Tennessee, a mining expert with
the mud on his boots, a young preacher
from the Sequachee district, and several oth
ers who looked upon the joking governor with
eyes of admiration.
“Early in the canvass,” resumed the gov
ernor, “I noticed that I was being followed up
by- an iron-ribbed democrat, who was old
enough to have voted for Andrew- Jackson,and
who looked like it. He was thin and tall, his
form clad in butternut jeans, a corn-cob pipe
in his mouth and a great wave of whit.- beard
falling from under his chin, while his face
was scrupulously bare of beard. He would se
cure a front seat, where he could catch the
eye of the speaker. While Pettibone would
be speaking the old man’s face would twitch
with suppressed dissent. He would pull vigor
ously at his pipe, and exclaim, every few min
utes :
‘“Hurrah for Bob and the winding up!’
“When I would rise a holy calm
would overspread his features, and approving
exclamations would greet every point made
for democracy. He was a terrible democrat.
For a week he followed up our appointments,
when,one day,to illust rate republican thieving,
I had occasion to tell the story of a west Tenn
see farmer. The west Tennessean had a large
corn crop, while in the adjoining pasture graz
ed a herd of cattle. One night the cattle got
into the cornfield and played havoc. The
farmer was in a rage when he discovered the
damage, and he summoned all his slaves for
an explanation. Every one of his slaves stut
tered. Calling up Bill, his master thundered:
“ ‘Bill, by whose carelessness w’as this fence
left down?’
“ ‘W—w—w—h—h—y, massa, d—d—d—’
“ ‘Get out, you scoundrel, I can’t take all
day to hear you that way. Ephraim, how did
the cattle get in there?’
“ ‘M-nr-m-assa, d d-d-c-c-a-a-t.’
“ ‘Shut up at once, you stuttering wretch.
Samuel, tell me how these cattle got in the
field?’
“ ‘D-d-d-c-c-o-o.’
“ ‘Damn it, sing it, if you can’t talk it.’
“Samuel was a great singer and never stut
tered when he essayed that form of vocalism,
so to the tune of ‘Old Hundred’ he broke
forth:
“ ‘Be cowsjumoed over de fence,
An’ eat up all de corn;
Bey’s mighty thieves, an’ ’ll steal
’Fore your eyes, sure’s you’re bornl”
“I then declared that the republican thieves
had jumped over the fence into the democratic
corn and were bent upon a
career of devastation. At my ap
pointment, twenty miles off, the next
day, I was again announcing this story, when
I caught sight of my old democratic friend.
He deliberately unloosed his shirt collar,
cleared up his throat,and assumed aposition for
singing. I saw that he intended to accompany
me. Without a smile, and just as if I had ex
pected it, I began, the old man joining in with
full force:
“ ‘Be cows jumped over de fence,
An’ ent up all de com;
Dey’s mighty thieves, an’ll steal
‘Fore your eyes, sure’s you’re born.’
The young preacher from Sequachee took
down the verse to use on the circuit, while the
farmer had it firmly committed to memory.
FROM JOKES TO BUSINESS.
“We have a wonderful state,” said the
governor, turning his attention to the corres
pondent. “Memphis sends a million bales of
cotton out to the world; Chattanooga is be
coming the iron center of the earth; Knoxville
has doubled in population in five years; Nash
ville builds up from the united forces which,
singly, have built up the other cities. There
is East Tennesse, with its limitless mines of
mineral and forests of merchantable timber ;
there is middle Tennessee reveling in blue
grass, and fringed with iron; there is west
Tennessee with the richest alluvial deposits.
Thus we have not only advantages in all th.\se
requisites to a great country, but enough of
them to trade within ourselves, and never call
upon the outside world. We have iron enough
to wall the state and provide its armament;
our grain fields and hog pens feed the people
and leave abundance for export; our cotton
region can furnish the raw material to clothe
the state, while our rolling mills, foundries,
cotton factories, flouring mills and our skilled
artisans can utilize all these varied resources,
So you see that Tennessee is an empire in
natural resources, in mechanical capacity, and
in population.
“The people of Tennessee are comparatively
out of debt. Our farmers are not making
draughts upon next year for present support.
The increase of skillful laborers furnishes con
sumption for homo products. The peo
ple are happy and contented, with no
disturbing questions. We have had but
one of late —prohibition. The leaders of
that party came to the democratic party, and
declared that they looked upon their question
as one moral and not political. They desired
that it should be totally divorced from politics,
and to that end asked for a separate vote upon
a prohibitory amendment. Their request was
agreed to; the question went to the people
who, by a decisive vote, negatived it. There
fore it is now out of politics, notwithstanding
the efforts of a few to revive it, and wo will
have no trouble with it. The prohibitionists
made pledges which they must keep.
“President Cleveland’s administration is
heartily indorsed in Tennessee. He will be
the next nominee of the democratic party,
and will receive a largely increased
vote in Tennessee. As to the tariff Tennessee
favors tariff reform, but insists that there
must be protection enough to cover the differ
ence between the price of American skilled
labor and that of Europe.”
SELF-IMPORTANCE RECOGNIZED.
As the governor lapsed from the discussion
of public questions, into those of minor mo
ment a rare incident, illustrating his versatil
ity, was narrated by ope of the gentlemen
present. A portly, dignified looking individ
ual stepped into the governor’s office, and
coming to a military halt, said slowly:
“Governor Taylor, my name is Erastus
Pogue.”
“Glad to see you, Mr. Pogue. Take a chair,’,
and the governor kept on with his conversa
tion. This did not please Mr. Pogue,
whose opinion of himself was such that he
expected the governor's immediate and undi
vided attention. Without moving a step, but
putting, if possible, more dignSy into his sep
ulchral voice, ho said:
“Governor Taylor, I am Captain Erastus*
Pogue, the son-in-law of Major Podunk.”
"Ah,” answered the governor, with a grace
ful wave of the hand, “I am delighted to see
you, Captain Pogue. Take two chairs—take
two.”
THE STATE FINANCES.
GovcrnTor aylor had just returned from
Memphis, whither he had gone with the state
treasurer to borrow moncyifor tho present no
< iof the state. This loan v.as made
liecei-sary by the peculiar tax laws of the state,
under which money does not begin to
flow in until February and March,
though tlio state’s liabilities ma
ture on tlfirst of January. A talk with
State Treasurer Atha Thomas developed the
informati- n that under the act of 1883 to fund
the state debt, tho funding board has already
retired ' o/yX) < f the old bonds, and issued
therefor in eou.pr- mho Ixmds $13,000,000. Os
these latter bonds $11,500,000 are 3 per cents,
and the r mainder are 5 and (i per cents.
There are yet to be funded $2,500,(XX) of tho
old bonds,"of which 8500,000, belonging to the
state debt proper, bear ■" and G per cent inter
est, while tho two million left will lx; funded
on the same terms as the bulk of them havo
been, for SI,OOO/100 in compromise bonds at 3
per cent. The state treasury has
been depleted by the loss of nearly
$400,000 oc-asioned by ex-Trcasurer
Hoik, and tho heavy expenses for the new
cast lennessee asylum for the insane, and a
similar building in west Ten u ss e. the cost cf
the two being $330,000. Th? srara Imsprompt
ly met the interest on the .-t’.!■• debt, paid
extra appropriations amounting to s-LW.OUffi
retire,! $800,030 flouting debt known as bank
of I ennesbeo certificates, and now onlv owes
$315,000 in floating debt, which will undoubt
edly bo paid by March 1. Los; than F-200,(W
hank of Tennessee certificates remain to be
taken up. After these certificates altall havo
been taken up, the present rate of taxation,
three mills for general purposes, and the privi
lege taxes, will raise revenue amply sufficient
to pay all current expenses amt the interest
OU c..9j e P u ßlic debt. Tho loan account
of $315,000 which was needed to meet claims
due January first, will bo extinguished by
March.
“Wo are satisfied,” said Treasurer Thomas,
“that we will be able tojdo this. Altogether I
think that there is a good outlook for the state
and its finances. The tax aggregate for the
year 1887 shows an increased property assess
ment of $14,000,000, which is the first year in
several that has shown an increase, and it is
probable that for next year there will be a
much larger increased assessment.”
WHY IS IT?
The statement of Treasurer Thomas that the
increase for this year was only $14,000,-
000 and that this was tlie first
year in several which showed an
increase at all, sounded strange. From Chat
tanooga alone had gone forth rosy reports of
the organization of stock companies winch
disdained to look at loss than a million dollars.
These reports have been circulated over tho
union for four years past, and allowing for the
enthusiasm of boomers, still it looks as if there
should have been bottom enough left upon
which to base an increase each year, in the
taxable values of the state, for much more
than even $14,000,000. To the task of unravel
ing this problem I will have to address my
next, in the meantime expressing faith that
there is a solution which will explain all.

IN BETTER SPIRITS.
New York, December I(s.—When the dele
gates to the convention o f tho republican
clubs began to file into Chickering hall today,
it was remarked that they wore a more confi
dent air than yesterday, when the battalions
were disordered and headless. The idea of a
federation of clubs centralized and obedient to
tho touch of a directing hand was before every
eye.
About 10:45, the convention was called to
order by Hon. Daniel J. Ryan. The chair
men of the different committees appointed yes
terday then made their reports. Senator
Chandler led off with a report of tho commit
tee on rules and order of business. The chair
men of the other committees then followed
with reports.
General John C. Robinson, Grant club, of
Binghampton, N. Y., offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That it is the duty of tho government to
p’aee our country in such a state of defense ns will
command the respect of all nations, and for this
purpose a large portion of the surplus revenue
should be devoted to fortifying our harbors, building
shins for our navy and the manufacture of modern
artillery for the proper armament of the same.
Mr. Burdsall, of Binghamton, said ho had a
resolution.
Tire chairman said: “Mr. Burchard, a reso
lution.”
That name brought down tho house.
It was a resolution advising that tho tax on
whisky and tobacco be distributed among the
states according to the population to reduce
the surplus.
7 Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, offered tlie follow
ing resolution, which caused a Sensation:
Whereas, it Is the opinion of this national conven
tion of the republican clubs that no man who, at
any time, denounced Abraham Lincoln, while lie
was president of the United States ns a "buflon and
Clown," or who ever declared from his seat in the
United States senate that no man should denounce
Jefferson Davis as n traitor in ills presence and go
unrebuked by him, or who, in his official capacity,as
secretary of the interior ordered that the flag of the
United states should be displayed at half mast on the
o Caston of thedeatb’of Jacol |Thompson, or who, ns
senator of the United Statesmans'years after the war
refused to vote that the 13th and 14th and 15th
amendments to the constitution are valid and
binding, ought to be appointed to, or hold the high
office or justice of the supreme court of the United
States; therelbre—
Resolved, That L. Q. C. Lamar, ought not to have
been appointed justice of said court.
It was then carried on motion that all reso
lutions should ho referred to tlie committee on
resolutions without being read.
A number were so disposed of.
Hon. William M. Evarts, permanent chair
men, came on tho platform amid tremendous
and long continued applause. He was intro
duced by the temporary chairman, Judge
Ryan.
In his speech on taking the chair, Mr.
Evarts congratulated tho convention on its
organization and said that its work would not
interfere with any of the established organiza
tions of the party. It would, like the “grand
old party,” never acknowledge that there
could ho choson a candidate greater than the
party. Tho draft for a constitution for a
national organization to be known as “The
republican league of the United States" was
presented. A president, three vice-presidents
and a secretary and Jtreasurar, are to bo the
officers. The organization is to bo permanent.
The committee on resolutions presented a
preamble and resolutions of extraordinary
length, which covers tho entire field of politi
cal controversy, past and present, since tho
birth of the republican party. Seward A.
Simons, of Buffalo, in eloquent terms nomi
nated James J?. Foster, president of Now York
Republican club, for prescient. General Na
than Goff, of West Virginia, in words of high
praise, nominated A. Lowden Snowden, of
Philadelphia.
Mr. Snowden hero withdrew his name from
tho contest for president. Loud cries of
“Question," Mr. Gardiner, of Wisconsin,
moved the election of Mr. Foster by acclama
tion. It was carried, and by a tumultuous
cry of “aye” and not a single “nay,” James
P. Foster, of New York, was declared elected
president of the national league.
The New Yorkers had erideavpred to per
suade Chauncey Depew to accept the presi
dency, but he declined. J. M. Condon, of
Knoxville, is vice-president for Tennessee,
and John S. Wise, for Virginia. J. J. Little
ton is the member of tho executive committee
for Tennessee, and J. W. Southard for Vir
ginia.
A resolution by Howard N. Fuller, of Al
bany, was the cause of much excitement. It
ran as follows:
Resolved, That this convention of republican
clubs, of the United States, representing the uni
versal sentiment aud patriotic desire of the repub
licans of the United States, represented by us, re
cord Its emphatic disapproval and condemnation
of President Cleveland's action in the nomination
of L. Q. C. Lamar for the supreme court bench of
the United States, and we recommend that republi
can members of the United States senate vote
against the confirmation of the same.
ALABAMA’S LAWYERS.
Montgomery, Ala., December 15.—The
State Bar association met hero yesterday, with
a large attendance. Judge John F. Dillon, of
New York, delivered the annual address,
which was received with enthusiastic ap
plause. He said that as this is the centennial
year of tho adoption of the federal constitu
tion, he had selected as his subject “A Cen
tury of American Law.” Within a century, im
prisonment for debt has been abolished in both
Great Britain and America, and in this legis
lation America has led tho way. Byway oj
contrast, he alluded to the modern liberal ex
emption and homestead laws of several states
and of tho national government. Under tho
beneficent operation of tho latter act, more
than 100,(XX),000 acres of land had been enter
ed by 820,000 heads of families. He next ad
verted to tiro great aud beneficial changes
m 0 .< within the last fifty years in respect of
the iglrts of married women. The principle
of the American married women’s protective
acts, was in 1870 and in 1882, adopted
by the English parliament. Referring to
the criminal laws of England 100 years ago,
ho showed that at that time near two hundred
offenses were capital felonies and that the laws
were otherwise oppressive and severe. They
have been gradually ameliorated, so that at
this time only four offenses are capitally pun
ishable in England and only two
in this country. The growth of
corporations, and of corporate litigation, was
dwelt upon at length, and statistics given
showing that nearly half of the modern report
ed cases involve corporation law, He appealed
to the young men to take up this great work,
and concluded by saying:
Mayhap some young num hears me today, gifted
beyond tue common lot, with an eye couched to
that wider and higher sweep that will take in all
constructive possibilities of the rich and scattered
materials of our laws, and be tn fort unate us to
leave upon massive, Imparting, ever advancing, but
imperishable structure of our jurisprudence some
vaible imprint, tome embodied memorial of his
genius, as well as of his labors.

SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.
Columbia, S. C., December 12.—[Special.]—
In the senate tonight, tho bill which was
passed by the house, a few days ago to estab
lish a homo for disabled soldiers and sailors of
the confederate army and navy, was killed
without debate and without a division by the
adoption of tho adverse report of the literary
committee. This action is duo to the fact that
tlie senate has passed a bill granting a pension
of five dollars per month to all disabled indi
gent confederate soldiers, which bill isnow
pending in tho house.
It is probable, therefore, that the house will
compromise the matter by passing the senate
pension bill.
Columbia, 8. C.,December 14.—[Special.J—
In the house today tho phosphate monopoly
bill, which proposed to grant to five companies
tho exclusive right to mine tho vast phosphatic
deposits belonging to tho state, and to freeze
out tho smaller concerns and private individ
uals engaged in the bustness, was killed by a
vote which buries it beyond the hope of resur
rection.
In the house tho bill granting a pension of
five dollars per month to disabled confeder
ate soldiers and sailors, passed its final read
ing.
The grcaotr part of the day was spent in tho
consideration of the general appropriation bill
providing for tlie expenses of tlie state govern
ment for the next year. The total amount ap
propriated is $807,205. The economists, as
usual, made a fierce onslaught upon the appro
priations of $53,700 for the university; $14,000
for tho militia and various other items, but
were unsuccessful. and tho bill passed its second
reading substantially as reported by tho ways
and means committee.
Columbia, S.C., December 17.—[Special.]—
In tho senate today the house bill to provide
for the submission to the qualified electors of
Abbeville, Greenville and Oconee counties the
question of “license” or “no license” in the
cities, towns and villages in said counties, was
amended, after a hard fight, by eliminating
Oconeo from tlie measure, which then passed
its second reading.
In the house the hill to raise supplies and
make appropriations for the ensuing fiscal
year passed its second reading. It fixes the
tax levy for the state at five and a half
mills. A concurrent resolution was
adopted by both houses extending
tho time for paying the state, county and
special taxes, without penalty, which expired
on the 15th instant, to J anuary Ist next.
An extraordinary bill, amendatory of the
criminal law, has passed tho house and will
probably pass the senate. It amends tho law
of peremptory challenges, so that in capital
cases the accused is allowed only ten challenges
and the state is allowed five.
If you have catarrh, you are in danger, as
tho disease is liable to become chronic and
affect your general health, or develop into
consumption. Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures
catarrh by purifying and enriching the blood,
and building up tlie system. Give it a trial.
A Circumspect .Son.
From the Chicago News.
“Papa, what is a conflagration?”
“It is a big fire, my son.”
"And what do they call a little fire?”
“There is no special name for a little fire. Oh,
they sometimes call it an incipient fire and—let’s
see—well, it is sometimes called au inconsiderable
fire. Why?”
“Well, I sea your coat tail is on fire and I was
wondering whether it was a conflagration or an in
clpient fire.”
In a few minutes the young man had reason to
think it was a conflagration.
‘Tis An 11l Wind
That brings with it gusts of rain from the
north-east. When tho wind blows from tha

suffer, oven if seated by their “ain comfortable

fulls of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters—most
genial and comforting of specifics—will afford
them unspeakable relief. There is ample
proof on record of its efficacy in this disease—
more particularly if used for its relief at tho
outset. Chills and fever, dyspepsia, constipa
tion, liver complaint, and a lack of tone in tho
kidneys and bladder, should also be treated
with this useful family medicine of botanic
origin. Appetite improves, refreshing slumber
once more visits the weary eyelids of the ner

A Mysterious Underground Fire.
Wickliffe, Ky., Decomccr 18.—For about
four weeks a fire of considerable proportions
beneath tho surface of tho ground lias been
burning within 200 or 300 yards of tlio corpora
tion limits of this town. At first smoko was
noticed proceedidg from ah aperture in the
ground, and for a week or more little at
tention was paid to it, though as it appeared
to increase in volume every day the
interest soon became general. It has
now become quite a large fire and in
tensely hot, sometimes burning with a
flame, though generally It is onlv a
smoldering but intense heat. Parties dig
ging near tho fire and ut a depth ot from
1 to 2 feet found a bed or red-hot coals at a dis
tance of 30 feet from where the lire was first
seen. Tlie substance which furnishes fuel for
this strange fire is very oily and has a gaseous
odor, which ig observed by everyone whb vijito
tho place. Many are of tlie opinion that it la
gas, others that it is abed of coal on firo. Both
theories may bo correct, as the smouldering
fire suggests lignite, while tho flame that is
sometimes smelled indicates gas, or oil, op
both. To say tho least, there is something
very unusual about tho matter, and it is cer
tainly worth an investigation by scientific ex
perts. A fire similar to this, and a half of
three-quarters of a mile distant from it, broke
out some years ago and burned constantly for
several months. The present fire increases ip
volume every day. It is now, perhaps, ten
times as large as it was when first noticed.
MY FRIENDS, LISTEN TO ME! I
haven’t many words to say to you, but they arc
to the point. If you, or any member of your family
or friends, are sufl’erlng from coughs, Colds, hoarse
ness, pleurisy, Influenza, pneumonia, or other chest
trouble, or from rheumatism, weak back, kidney
affection, or pains in any other portion of your body,
take my advice and use Benson's Flusters, an old
and standard remedy recommended by leading
physicians and druggists everywhere. They are not
a "nostrum'' but a scientific combination of valuable
medicinal Ingredients, overcoming and eradicating
pains quickly and permanently. Ask for Benson’s
and take no other, however flatteringly recommend
ed by dealers.
