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 a prisoner, just.as he had stab! ed “Slippery Dick” in the court room and for the same reason.

Tire people of our neighboring town, Athens, arc much annoyed over the arrangements of schedules over the Seaboard Air-Line, The j city is practically side-tracked by ' the road. Complaints and overt ures have availed -imtbing up to I tliis titne_ 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 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.” Years truly, Atlanta, Ga. j S.
