MOBERNJtRACLES.
People ou the Brink of the
Grave Brought
BACK TO LIFE AND HEALTH.
The South Startled by the Wonderful
liesiiing Powers of an Atlanta I’hy
slelun.
From every southern state comes an
avalanche of testimonials of the marvelous
cures effected by Dr. W. .1. Tucker, the
doctor's power over disease seems to be
wonderful, ff not miraculous, and the result
of his masterly skill 1- almost incredible.
The old saying that doctors are born, not
nt.ide, finds an apt illustration in the case
of Dr. Tucker.
Mrs. J. T. Beaton, Waycross, Ga., long
laj in 1 <1 a help! <• Tali nt of all
! j’m , dcH-t.<rs had been exhausted, her
husband and fra 'ids had dispaired of her
recovery. As a last resort and with little
th< y called in the services of Dr.
Tucker. She improved from the start and
almost as if by magic she was brought
back to health and strength.
A WONDERFUL CASE.
IX J. Daniel, Rison, Ark , says: “My son’s
health v.ii-; in :• terrible condition and had
been fur a I. ng tune. At times he suffered
untold agony. All our home doctors had
given hi-ii i'p !!i<‘ur;U»h*. JiiinUj I put
him under tne tr siimt nt of Dr. Tucker with
most wonderful results, far surpassing
our expectations.”

tion to ex-Governor Jarvis today' and the
honor was accepted.
The appointment gives general satisfac

term of two years. Large delegations
called on Governor Carr today' and urged
the appointment of R. T. Bennett and R
F. Armfield. A delegation of representativi
negroes urged Jarvis's appointment. After
they found tiiis had been made they went
to Jarvis's hotel and congratulated him.
James H. Young, editor of The Gazette,
! was spokesman of this delegation.
■ Governor Carr received letters endorsing
Inot only the three gentlemen above named,

In an interview Senator Jarvis has said
that he stands on the Chicago plallorm at
construed m the south. His relations with
tiie administration, so far us he can cun- ,
trol them, may be inferred from the lact
that he was minister to Brazil under Mr
Cleveland's former administration.

} circumstances denied him the advantages
of an early education, but by the aid of
frii nis he entered Randoipii-Alacon col

at intervals, he completed his course there, |
graduating in iStiO, when he again estab- ,
lished himself as a (•■;• her.
In June, IS6I, when the state called for
volunteers, he closed his school in Basque- (
tank county and enlisted for tin? war His

I In IS6B he was elected as a democrat to

i made an extensive canvass as an elector
i on the Sevmour ami Blair ticket. When 1

i other fiemocrtits in opposition to the meas

Race Agnlnst Hansom.
Washington, April 19.—(Special.)—The ap
pointment of ex-Governor Jarvis to tiie ’
senate to fill out the unexpired term of the
late Senator Vance makes an interesting J
political situation in North Carolina. Mr j
Jarvis was an announced candidate against j
Senator Ram cm, whose term expires next |
His pr. sent appointment only lasts t
until the legislature meets in January. ,
Then Mr. Jarvis will be a candidate tor j
election to the senate. North Carolinians ,
li--r>- say he will, however, not lie a cttlidl- i
date for Um seat he bus just been up- i
I-cnteii to, but to succeed Senator Kan- ;
sum. It lias be.-n a custom in North Car
olina for tl:<- GiStvrn part of the state to ,
have oi ” s nator and the western part the
other. Mr. J:.i ris and Semitor Ransom are ,
both from eastern North Carolina. I’nere- -
for-, ;u cording to an unwritten law ol rue
st.ifi- tie- i’gislature must elect a west-in <
North < arolina man to Senator Vances
old seat, and if Mr. Jarvis wants to hold :
on he will have to make his light against

up a peg in tiie race.

HB TEEE3 SOME BARE FISH YARNS
TO KLEP HIS HAND IN.
RMtlrord. nnd Wlil.ky go Together—Blott
ings Are Not Wholly Uumixed—The
Bad Follow. CJotely the Good-
Eleven men in buckram suits! Does It
follow that every man with an oleanginous
corporoslty is given to seeing double and
treble like Jack Falstaff? Dr. Hunter
Cooper, of Atlanta, came here the other
day with his friend, Murphy Candler. They
have been fishing all over the .-tute and
wound up at Clearwater. They came from
St. Petersburg last and the doctor alarmed
us about the horrible sawfish that he helped
to catch there at the end of the wharf.
He got excited with his narrative as he
told how, when the monster was hooked,
the alaiirr -given and every man and
boy in town ran uown to see, and after
the fishermen had tangled ropes and log
chains all over it it took every able bodied
man in town to draw it to shore. “Lt
actually weighed,” said he, “over 500 pounds
and its saw was the most venomous weapon
I ever beheld. Lt had been broken ott a
foot or two, but what was left measured
five feet and eight inches." “Oh, mercy,"
said my' wile, "isent it awful. Girls, you
must not go in bathing any more. Every
day somebody would tell about these awful
creatures—devil llsh and sharks and sting
arees and sawfish. It is a wonder they I
have not got some of us before now."
Dr. Cooper is a first-class gentleman and ■
came from good, old Baptist stock. He I
stands high in his profession and in his |
stockings, and is handsome and he knows il, i
but I noticed that every time he told a big I
yarn he appealed to Murpny lor confirma- ’
lion. “Isent it so, Murph? You taw that I
fish. I pledge you my word it was the
biggest monster 1 ever laid my eyes on."
“Murph” simply nodded assent as the doc
tor branched off on another narrative. Mur
phy is a Presbyterian and hut otli-.ial posi
tion In the Agnes Scott institute is ever
before him, but still he would not go I>jck
on his friends, especially when so far away'
from home. lie affectionately calls the
doctor "Hunt," and the doctor calls him |
“Murph,’ and th< y coincide on e/eryih’ng, I
except that Murph says Hunt plays 100 |
much croquet wuli tiie pretty girls along the ■
route, and sonu tunes ta :y miss a tt .uu t-y ;
it. which is wry orovoking. And Hunt j
said that when pr--ny g.ri.s pursue a man !
it is very bad manm-rs to run away i-om I
them. My wi remarKid that m-nt utter I
we retired that sue liked tin.in both very
much, very mui It, iml- i <l, and alter a pause
site said it wquid be a right good law if
every han-isome married man when he went
far away Irom home shout i ini’. • to v>-.ar
a ribbon on his hat with “family man"
printed on il, just as a warning to foolish
girls, you know. 1 diUent answer, but
snored a little as if I beard her not. But
still 1 did-nt altogether uis- rc’iit the saw
fish story. Tiie doctor’s appeals to Murphy
were only a circumstance—a badge oi fraud,
as tiie lawyers say. Nevertheless 1 was
jealous of bt. I‘etersijurg. 1 ci.dent like to
have Clear Water outdone in any tiling—not
even in monsters, and so the next nay 1
took particular notice of the doctor us
he was fishing in the pass. 1 diag
nosed him. He begun to play tiie
seven men to bucknam suits. Tiie first repu
table Hout he caught lie declared to be a
six-pounaer and tried to prove it by our
honest bweue, Vviuitore. “Na, na,” said
W.tino’i’e, "dal vusli va.y no more as tree
pounus, but he is a vine vtsn." Dr. Cooper
quarreled fi.ni out of anolacr p< . nil, and ;
so tlie-y fussed about every li.-.li m.-tii Wil- i
mure surreliuereii, and wjieii Lac doctor ■
caught a ton-is-i.n-aer the bw. de said, "dot •

ol the people. They left tiieir burden on
the plunk walk and 1 had to Hire a wagon
to haul them away. After a gaanous lisa
supper they spc.il the evening with us re- :
counting tne succ. sses of the nay, and both
declared it was tiie best day they had nad
In Florida.
un pai img the doctor said in notto voce,
“Now Mojar, when you, to your letters
these glorious dev-ls rerule, speak of me us
1 am —nothing extenuate, but set It all
down in colors -1 nave oven ba-.tong you m
all your marvelous yarns about Ciear Waler

is tiie loveiiies-t village ol the plain, and 1
smut certainly bring my family here next
winter. About that croquet business, don’t
speak of il. It is only one of Murph’s nu
merous vagaries. He imagines huk because
lie is a Presbyterian auid can’t fall troin
gr.iee that lie is privii. geu to toil wnit ■ n.-s.
but the devil is the father of lies of all '
colors and Murph liud better be earetui.“
It was a goodly conipruiy tlu.it day and wc
were grieved to part with them. Mr. Can
dler says he wants a bay front here by tiie
ides Ol beplflllireil’.
Another Wv.k will find us journeying t
hontewaA’d, and that will bn anothei
pleasure—the reunion with kindred and 1
friends. Tne poor, rejected and dejected 1
hermit was made to say :
<
“And what is friendship but a name— '
A charm that lulls Lu sleep, t
A shade that follows wealth or fame >
But leaves a wretch to weep.”
That is not so. That was but the utter- >
ance of broken-hearted love. Friendship
is a sweet, savory reality, and next to the '
dearest tie on earth. There are not many
who are bound like Damon and Pythias,
but almost every one.has triends. It is a
pleasure to believe that we have friends
ut home v.ho will lovingly give us welcome,
and we know there are litany there we will
rejoice to see —to look into their eyes and
grasp their hands and receive their greet
ings. Love and friendship are the best
treasures of life —better than fame or j
wealth. There are friends here, too, new
found and new made friends from whom
we part not willingly, tor they hive been
kind and have done so much to make our
prolong-, d visit pieasauc This is a happy
little town. 1 was sitting in my daugh
ter’s pretty veranda this evening and
counted six squirrels in the trees near by.
I saw a pair of quails and two rabbits in
the street as I approached the dwelling.
Colonel Frazer lives right opposite, and
there was an owl quietly sitting or. a limb
near lus veranda. A tali, venerable crane
was wading in the water at the foot of Hie
bluff “This solitary bird is nearly always
there," said the colonel, “and when he
gtraightens up full length looks as .solemn
as a. Presbyterian preacher.'' Nobody dares
to disturb these pets in Clear Mater, lor
It i« against the law. Clear V\ liter is cer
tainly a peaceful little village, for there
ha- 5 not been o light nor a quarrel since we
have been here. Fndeeil, there are some
good people here who favor giving up the
town charter, because the mayor and mar
shal have nothing to do. But the Tampa
railroad is coming very soon and Tampa
whiskv will find its way. and maybe the
n. Ivor and the marshal will both find bus
iness Railroads are great blessings, but
everv rood thing has tjome bad mixed up

BARS IN FULL BLAST,
SUPREME COURT DKCLARFS THE
DISPENSARY UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Blind Tigara Open Their Eyes—The Governor
U;i« Little to Swy— He la Doing Some
Thinking Now—The Law Mixed.
Columbia, 8. C„ April 19.—(Speclal.)-Thlß
has been a great day in South Carolina.
“Blind tigers" are blind no more. They are
winking the other eye, for the highest legal
tribunal in the state lias officially con
demned to death their deadly enemy—the
dispensary law.
At 10 o'clock this morning the expected
decision of the supreme court was tiled,
sustaining the decision of Judge Hudson
declaring in express terms the old law un
constitutional In the very features that are
embodied in the new act, thus In effect
making, in the opinion of the leading law
yers, the present law null and void.
The decision of the court was delivered
by Chief Justice Mclver, concurred in by
Justice Wallace and dissented from in a
lengthy opinion by Justice Pepe. Admin
istration leaders are already charging
ti-at there Is politics in the decision and
John Gary Evans, who is popularly sup
posed to be Governor Tillman's favorite can
didate for governor to succeed him, says
that it was dictated by political prejudice
and that Justice Pope’s opinion will be
held to be the right one.
Governor Tillman has been sought a. score
of times for an expression concerning tne
decision, but for once he has talceu Senator
Irby's advice and "put a padlock on his
tongue,” declaring that he will have nothing
to say until he has thoroughly understood
the grounds of tiie decision. lie is reported
to have remarked tli.it ‘ this is only the be
ginning,” but this lias not been verified.
Chief Justice Mclver is popularly credited
as being not a synipatluzer ol tiie "domi
nant element," and tiie same can lie said
ot Justice McGowan, though no action ot
lues” lias ever shown the slightest poilti
cal bias. Justice Pope, who was elected to
the bench last year, was attorney general
under Governor Tillman and had always
been an avowed and ardenlt Tiilinanite.
The State Cimnot Sell Liquor.
The decision of the court sustains all the
points tntidi by the counsel for the respond
ents except one, and is a complete annihi
lation of the entire state dispensary.
It. operates up n the new act in tne same
way and to the same extent that it annul;-
tiie old one- The new act is really a-n
amendment of the old act in certain pat
ticulats, which art indifferent and Imma
terial to the main question. Both the
acts di’pend upon the great single question
wjietii-.r the dtote tuny engage in the liquot
busiuc s. and the features ol’ the old act
provid "g for such a business are repeate-u
in-l reinforced by the amenthaeiits contain
ed in the new act and it is Hie opinion ot
tin- best lawyers who have studied the
question that if one falls tiie other must
fait. It may lie said that th;' decision n
mtule in reference mainly direct to the oui
act, but lu any question hereafter to arise
th” principles anriotniced in Ute decision wit
of course control the court with equal force
in tli” future consideration of the new act
so that in a strictly technical point ol
view the operation of this decision is to
dei-lare the new as well as the old act
unconstitutional. In all points tourn.

rule of the court that the <b’ei-.c.m -s 1;

The news of the setting aside ot the tl ‘ s V

received here shortly alter W o clock this
morning. An hour later upwards of aw

- it is anticipated here that Gov^ rI ? < ?*
Tillman will disregard the decisl n ofl his
own court. The general impression here. B
that he will call an extra session of ttie
general assembly, pass a new law and then
take it up to the state supreme
which, on July Ist, will be iillmanite m
politics by the qualification of Justice ic.
B. Gary. In that case tiie court will re
verse its action.
What will happen in the meantime, how
ever, is difficult to say. Since the Darling
ton episode the whisky constabulary have
been comparatively inactive. No raids on
either stores os private residences nave
been attempted anywhere in the state. Lite
force of constabularies in this city tor
meriy numbered from fifteen to twenty
men all armed with revolvers and Win
chester rilles, has been reduced to three
men, who only slouch around at night and
confine their attentions to the rauroac
uepots.
'ihe town is very quiet tonight, although
whisky may be had at any saloon In tn
city. This has been the ca«e, indeed, ever
since the dispensary law went into opera
tion on July 1. ISUL. The difference is that
tonight mixed d.-'iiks and other liquors are
passed over the bar openly. The action of
the governor is watched here with great
anxiety. Most peopie expect that ho wil I
disregard the supreme court ami attemp ■
to continue to enforce the law. in which
event there is likely to be trouble.

Attorney General Buchanan, who is a mem
ber of the state board of control, stated
tonight that the board will meet tomorrow
and order all -iisp’-nsaries to be closed, in
anticipation oi such action, the employes
of the state dispensary were paid off to
lay and checks will be sent to creditors
tomorrow. The axlministration intends to
recognize ti. ’ tl’ Clsioti a” law and await the
a” ion of the legislature, which, General
Buchanan said, would probably be called
to meet In extra session in order to dis
pose < f the stack of liquor on hand, lie

the general power to appoint 200 constables
to enforce prohibition. H<- intends to bring
1 test case before the supreme court in a
few days to determine whether tin- decision
means absolute prohibition or the unre
stricted sale of liquor.

There never has been but one re

America, and even in Australia and
other distant lands, it is admitted to
be the standard, the only remedy
for men and women whose blood has

women whose lives do not pursue
their normal course. These are ad
