A man by the name of Jones was
shot through the abdomen Sunday
in the lumber camps north of Helen
by a man named Cole at the house
of one of the employees of the
Byrd-Matthews Lumber Company
named Hooper. Mr. Hooper was
held for trial which was given him
Tuesday*, and was dismissed. It
appears that Cole walked up to
Cooper's house and stepped inside,
and asked Cooper to look at his
gun, which was a rifle, and while
looking at turned about saying he
wanted to shoot a dog, and fired
through the window, immediately
running toward the woods, and has
not yet been apprehended. Cooper
claims that he had never spoken to
Cole and that he did not know
him, neither did he know Jones,
the man who was shot, Jones was
taken by special tsain to Gaines¬
ville Sunday afternoon and placed
in an hospital for treatment. Last
news we have of him he is still
alive.
Woman’s Suffrage Column.
The president of the National
Housewives’ League is Mrs. Julian
Ileath, She has lately become a
Suffragist stating as her reason,
that in order to get proper food for
their families at reasonable rates,
and to enforce pure food legislation
women must possess the ballott as
the essential remedial agent.
Senator Stafford of Louisiana is the
author of a bill designed to remove
some of the present discriminations
against married women in his
State. The Bill reads as follows;
‘•AN ACT.
To autlwiae a married
to contract, site and be sued with¬
out, the consent of her husband,and
giving her acts the same effect as
those of if a single woman.
Sec. 1, Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Louisiana that a married woman
may contract, sue and be sued with¬
out the consent of her husband,and
all contracts made by her shall bind
her to the same extent as through
made by a single woman.
Sec. 2. Be it futher inacted,
etc., That whenever a married
woman mortgages, sells, ox other¬
wise contracts, the declaration and
recitals of the act, shall bind her to
the same extent as though she were
a single woman.
Sec. 3. Be it father engaged
etc.. That all laws or parts of
laws in conflict herewith, be and
the same are hereby repealed,”
This is a very slight measure of
justice and should prevail in every
Southern State. To handicap
marriage is never wise since the
home is the direct point of indefen¬
sible attack.

Plain Talk.
Ip the words of James, iii, 6, “And
tjje tjpgue is a fire, a world of in
’ so ' s the tongue among our
Jiodjl ®er%ers, that it defileth the whole
and setteth on fire the whole
of nature ; and it is set on
ijre’of hell.” Never was there read
ffojn the holy writ a greater truth
The tongue of a vindictii
minded person is the vilest instru
mem, the devil can controll to fur¬
ther* his kingdom in in the world.
Strange to say the tongue of that
class of persons is never turned
against a guilty person ; it is never
turned against that which is evil
witJt the purpose of trying to
remedy the evil, but to bring about
a greater evil, to magnify the evil
alreiu-ly hfrijiling done. It is always found
that which is good. Of
aJrJhe vilifying, evils in the world, that of
back-biting, and slander¬
ing ones neighbors is the greatest.
Stop a minute, my friends, if you
have been guilty of evil speaking
ami think of yourself. Remove the
beam from thine own eye. Look
more unto the w'alksof self. Keep
youfself employed in looking at
your own walk, and you wont have
time to see the faults of thy broth¬
er. ,

Get a hustle on yourself, citizen
of White. Get right down to busi¬
ness, put your shoulder to the
wheel, and let us prove to the
world that the little county of
White knows how to do things to
perfection. That when she goes
after a thing, she brings that thing
back with her. Let us make our
barbecue the greatest event in the
history of the State. We are it
with a capital “I” Let’s live up
to our reputation,
Blue Ridge Dots.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu¬
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be t3ken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi¬
tion, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of tetf^are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh i that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
