The Hystery of “Sons and
Fathers” Solved.
By Ho Special arrangement
with the Chicago Record.
The Atlanta Journal is an en
terprising paper. They deserve
the thanks of every Georg ran for
going to tine expense of furnishing
such an excellent story as “Sons
and Fathers’ without extra cost
to its readers. But the Harmony
Grove Echo-is the first paper hi
the whole country to publish a
solution of the- mystery. It mat
ters very little to our readers how
the Echo got possession of this
last chapter of “Sons and Fathers”
just so they got it. V e are sorry
we have not the space to give the
hap ter in full, but a proper sol u
tiln of the mystery is briefly given
below.
After the conference between
Edward Morgan and Gen. Fran
at the home of Mrs. MonAjoy the
former was never seen* in America
again tuii.il he came back from
Paris two years later in company
with Gambia to elaim Mary a* his
bride. He came then in answer
to a cablegram- from Mary herself.
The cablegram read as follows: “1
have solved the mystery- Come
at once.”' Mary.
It \d nendless to say that this
eaitfe- to Edward like a burst of
mmshme through dark clouds. He
knew that if Mary said the mystery
was solved it was solved. It was
the happiest moment of his life. He
never felt a similar sensation ex
cept on one occasion, and that was
when he knocked Ames Hoy son’s
teeth, down his throat.
He made his arrangements at
once to sail for America. He told
his mother-of the good news and
bade' heir get ready to accompa
ny liim. f say his mother, for
Gambia had gone back to Paris a
short time after the departure of
Ed tv a rd, and while there she had I
seen Edward again ami heard him
play on his-violin- It was Be mini’s
violin. She knew it at once. It
was Benoni playing it. There
could be no mistake. No man save
Benoni ever knew that secret
touch. She was transported and
yet she knew the player was not
Benoni. It was* Edward Morgan.
£t was tlie son of Benoni and Ma
rion* Evaiv She felt it- She
Knew it. She would never doubt
it again. As far as she and Ed
ward were concerned the mystery
was solved. They had solved it
with-music. For more than twelve
months they had lived together
in Paris as mother and son. But
this would not be satisfactory to
Mary* -She must ln*ve unmistak
able proof, and now the cable
gram told the news of this unmis
takable-proof. The burden rs lift
ed. bight at Usd lat last 11 '
As soon as Edward Morgan de
parted for Paris- Mary want toj
work diltigmUly trying to jpblve
Fhe mystery of his parentage.
Her- Lost was to talk the
mattei-over with tier*. Evan- This
was a good move. Ju this talk
Mary learned''that the ‘genial doc
rr who was- [Hvsent at Meatburst
on that eventful night after the
storm was old I>r. Si-Luce. But;
sho was distressed to leant that !
fton- -Evan did not know his
whereabouts, lie had moved away
years- ago ami lie did not know
who could tell Iter Jyis address.!
Jsnt she toiled *>n getting one clow
after atrof her imtil tiro good 1 okl
Sector was thuly located ii> a
•mail town in Southern Florida.
Shelest o time- in going, there to
•ee him- She found the now
vsvpit di si d<h-Vw sitting in
front veranda smoking a pipa. Af -'
iter mtr< educing herself and Wiling j
him where she was from ; she pro- j
j ceeded at oivee to tell her whole
; story in detail, and concluded by 1
| saying “And now doctor 1 have I
l made this trip here to see you tin-1
[attended in the hope that yotW
'might give me some satisfactory 1
olew to this mystery.” The doc- 1
| tor straightened himself in hi? !
I chair and was lost in study for.j
I about a minute. Then turning ;
j
j his head slowly toward 3lary he
! said : “And my daughter I think
you have come to the right place
to get your mystery solved.” This
was a joyful moment for Mary.
She felt the buoyant stimulus of
victory. She grew impatient. Dr.'
Silence sa\w it and proceeded
briefly.
“I was snmmor.ed to Ilexhnrst
after the storm of that eventful
night yon described. When I ar
rived Rita was lying on the floor
exhausted. In a bed to my right
was Marion Evan and her child.
Lying on the bed to my left was
the child of Rita crying unmerci
fully. I dosed out some paregoric
for it but noticed it could not
swallow. It was tongue-tied.
Pulling out my scissors I clipped
its tongue and gave it the dose to
quiet it.
“About two years Jater I hap
pened to be at Ilexhnrst. The two
children were sitting on the floor
busily at play. Old John Morgan
was speaking of his inability to
1 teli which was the son of Marion
|Evan and which was the son of
j Rita when the latter walked in the
room bearing on a waiter a carved
South Georgia watermelon from
one of old John Morgan’s farms.
| At once one of the children looked
! lip. A beam of supreme gratifi
cation spread over his face. His
eyes looked like the rising moon.
! He began to moisten his lips with
| his tongue, and when I held out
a piece of the delicious melon to
ward him he made a lunge for it
knocking the other child sprawl
ing across the floor. In a jiffy 1 e
was up to his ears in the melon.
“What is his name” said I to Mor
gan,.
“Gerald” was the reply.
“And Rita’s son,” said I,”
“Eureka” cried Mary.
“I pulled hint up to me after the
melon disappeared and looked at
hi 9 tongue. There was the unmis
takable mark of th) scissors. Be
fore the evening was over I had to
administer an >ther dose of pare
goric to take care of his melon.
He was naturally a nervous child
and his nurse continued the use of
paregoric until he acquired the
opium habit which followed him
through life.”
Mary was over joyed to find
such a satisfactory solution of the
mystery. She at once sent Ed
ward the cablegram above written.
And Edward morgan hit the
grit for America or rather the wa
ter.
I don’t know whether Edward
and Mary married or not. If Ihoy
didn’t they should have done so.
Poor Amos Royson went to
South America after escaping from
prison and ho is the Jasper Bibo
spoken of in the introductory who
was stabbed at Buenos Ayers bv

“Slippery Dick” in the court room

Reckless Partisanism.
. The Republican partyjis a party
of recklessness. It is a party of
extremes. It is a fanatical party,
to charge this upon Republican*
is only to.jrecalj a history that is
scored over with recklessness. Ii
nothing has t his spirit shown itseh
so strikingly as in the disposition
to unseat reputable Democrats in
every instance w here contests have
been instituted from the South.
Th< Ir.policy seems to be to stttle
the question as to how many Re
publican votes should have been
cast in a given county or district,
and'because they were not polled,
the Democratic occupant is un
seated. Elated with power and
forgetful of the sore punishment
which has been inflicted upon
them so often in the past, they
continue the same course of reck
lessness. Hon. Gaston Robbins,
of the fourth congressional dis
trict of Alabama has just been un
seated. and so has Judge Cobb, of
the third district. The 6eat of
G n. Geo. P. Harrison is being
contested by air~ignorant Populist
who as a county judge hag been
charged with drunkenness and
general incompetency and the in
dications are that he will be un
seated. The seat of Mr. Under
wood from the Birmingham dis
trict is also contested by a Repub
lican, named Aldrich, and the
people are prepared to believe that
Aldrich will be sealed..
This is not the first time this
recklessness has been indulged in
by this “grand party of moral
ideas”—this party of *Star-route”
j and ‘ 4 Gredit-Mobilier” Swindles,
and a thousand other crimes. The
people will be heard again, anel
then will justice be reasserted.
Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is suited for any
season, but perhaps more generally
needed, when the laguid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is
toipid and sluggish and the need of
a tonic and alterative is felt. A
prompt use of this medicine has of
ten averted long and perhaps fatal
hiiious fevers. No medicine will
act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. 50c. and SI.OO per bottle

We had a slight rainfall on last
Friday. Reports say that hail
fell in considerable quantities
in some regions.
Fishing is rapidly becoming a
seasonable sport. Every leisure
hour is devoted by some of our
townsmen to angling.
Crowds continue to throng our
streets. Merchants claim that
they never had such fine spring
sales as they are now having.
Many anxiuts inquiries are
heard about, the Baptist church
building. “When will work begin
upun it?” That is the anxious
question all around.
And so Alex. Carr goes free. TT.
is to be sent to the asylum, and
if he ever recovers his sanity he is
to hang. Alex, would be a fool
now to get right again.
Some of the older ones say that
the dry weather is propitious.
They feel that if we should have
rain now there would be danger of
frost. With the mercury perched
among the nineties, it would be a
great change indeed to frost-
Magniticent arrangements have

way system for hauling the crowds

and will win the patronage.

A FATHER’S GRATITUDE.
“A few nights ago my little bov, a
fat chubby hide fellow, twenty
months old, was suddenly attacked
with a severe spell of croup. My
wife ano T had been out for the eve
ning, reaching home about eleven
o’clock, I noticed np'on coming in
to the room that his breathing was
very much obstructed, however, not
-sufficient, as I thought, to cause
ala rn. In a shot t while after we
retired we were roused by that un
mistakable and never-to be-forgot-.
ten-when once-hea:d croupy cough.
I hurried to the little fellow’s bed
side and found him choking badlv.
Paving been.a druggist for several
years and knowing the virtues of
Cheney’s Expectorant, I have always
kept a bottle in the house as a pre
cautionary measure.
As quickly as possible I gave him
a targe dose of the Expectorant, and !
it gives me great pleasure to inform
you that within ten miifhtes time thej
little -fellow was sleeping sweetly, j
ami all symptoms of an alarming hr- i
lure had disappeared.”
