What the Editor Heard.
A STORY FROM CAYUGA CO.. N. Y.
■Um Pennell, of Xllee, M. Y., Tell* of •
Miracle of the Nineteenth
Cenlury.
(M™ lAe Cteyupa Cb., A'. F., Independent.}
Hearing through Mesare. Allen & Burch,
druggHta of Nila*, that Mr. Sila* Z. Pen-
Bel), a respected citizen of that town had
been cured of a bad ca*e of sciatic rheuma
tism by the use of Dr. William* Pink Pills
for Pale Peapie, the editor of the Cayuga
County Independent determined to know
the tfuth of the matter and went out to
Niles. Mr. Pennell is a farmer and has a
neat and comfortable home near Niles. We
asked Mr. Pennell if it was true that he had
been cured of a bad case of rheumatism by
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. He said that
three years ago in August 1891, he was
aeixed with severe pains in the hip, just
where the sciatic nerve is, which gradually
ran down his leg making life a misery to
him but not preventing him from doing
some work on the farm. Soon after he was
loading hay when he slip[>ed off the load
and hit his hip on the wheel. After this
be was worse, suffering great agony, and
for some time was unable to do any work.
He took such medicines as his physician
Creecribed and improved somewhat so that
e could help soma around the farm again.
About Thanksgiving time he was helping to
put away some barrels of cider which ne had
made, when he strained himself and again
became helpless. He then tried another
physician who felt confident of curing him
bv the use of the electric battery and medi
cines which he prescribed. But failure was
the result, he got no better, and another
physician was tried and treated him for
gome time. By this time bis whole body
was affected. Sharp pains would start in
his hand or foot, run up one side of his
body, over his shoulders and then down the
other aide and then pass off for a short time.
These pains would return regularly, affect
ing his whole body and nothing seemed to
relieve him and he negan to denpair of ever
being well. In the spring of 1892 a relative
In another county read of a ease very simi
lar to Mr. Pennell's, which had been cured
by Pink Pills, and sent the article to him,
asking if it did not suit his ease. It was
very similar and he determined to try them.
He commenced taking Pink Pills and soon
felt better, the pains became less violent
with longer intervals between them. He
felt encouraged and persevered in their use
and soon became able to work on the farm,
and in April or May he felt so free from
pain that he considered himself a well man
again. He says he has probably taken 20
boxes and able to do as good a day’s work as
any other man, and we can say that he
looks like a hale and hearty man who had
■ever known sick peas.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may be
had by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for 50c. per
box, or six boxes for $2.50.

THE CHATTOOGA NEWS.
THE ANTI-BARROOM BILL.
What it is—What it is Not.
This bill, which was introduced
in the House at the last session by
Hon. I. A. Bush and in the Senate
by Hon. M. G. Boyd, and which
will come up for final action at
the approaching session, has be
come the center of a forceful agi
tation. It is the rallying point of
the temperance sentiment of the
State. Up to the time this bill
was agreed upon as the “one thing
needful” to complete the work of
prohibition in Georgia there had
been no concentration of the ener
gies of the temperance hosts upon
a single point. But this bill has
become the focus of the energies
and the prayers of the prohibition
ists. There is a tremendous ad
vantage secured by this unity of
sentiment and action.
1. The first thing necessary to
secure this unity was to assure the
temperance people of the various
counties which had secured prohi
bition that the bill did not involve
any risk of their losing what they
had gained. So essential, so fun
damental, so vital was this point
regarded that the framers cf the
bill embodied in its very first sec
tion a provision guarding this
point, namely:
“Nothing in this Act respecting
the manufacture of liquor shall
affect any county in which the
same is prohibited by any existing
law ; and nothing herein respecting
the sale or keeping for sale of in
toxicating liquors shall affect or
i apply to those counties in which
by local law, or otherwise, the sale
of such liquors is prohibited.”
But it must be remembered that
possibly such existing local prohi
bition might be repealed or revers
ed by a local option election, in
which event the “dry” county
Would become altogether “wet.”
This bill averts all such possi
ble disasters by the following pro
vision, referring to the counties
now under prohibition, viz:
''“But should such prohibitions
of the manufacture or sale or both
of liquors be repealed or otherwise
removed, in any of said counties,
then the same shall become subject
to the provisions of this Act.
2. The bill in its next section
proceeds to abolish barrooms
throughout the State. This is its
subject and object, its cause and
effect, its aim and its hit, its be
ginning, middle and end. The
bill rightly take its name from its
great controlling purpose. It is
the Anti-Barroom Bill. To deny
the name of the capitol of our
great State house, to insist upon
calling it by the exclusive designa
tion of its humblest department,
would not be more foolish than to
call this bill by any name that did
not describe its principal object.
Now civilization (to say nothing
of religion) has entered up its fin
al judgment of condemnation
against barrooms. We have reach
ed the point in temperance reform
where no one need waste time to
argue the debasing and accursed
evils of barrooms. A bill that a
bolishes them forever from Geor
gia’s soil will be an unmixed bles
sing. And the people of Georgia
have uttered their voice for the
mer.ff.ire. Already an overwhelm
ing majority of the State's popu
lation have shown their choice for
prohibition by local endorsement
and adoption of the measure.
Georgia is a State and a majority
of the people have the right to em
body their views upon a public
question in a State policy and a
State law.

not sickening, to watch the sudden
change of front in the liquor deal
ers and their allies since this bill
was proposed. When we were
gradually winning a majority of
the votes and territory of the state
by local option they cried out
against all local legislation. “Give
us,” they cried, “a State law—
something that will be effective;
something that will treat all lo
calities alike.” We now give them
that very thing they pretended to
want! And lo! they cry out, “Lo
cal option is good enough. Let it
alone.”
3. No prohibition law has ever
been proposed so radical as to pro
hibit absolutely the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors
for all purposes. Men frequently
say that if they could they would
pour all the liquor ever made into
the sea (which would be better for
humanity and worse for the fishes)
but in serious legislation even
these earnest enemies of strong
drink would no doubt make provi
sions for its manufacture and sale
for all except beverage purposes.
The evil, ninety-nine hundredths
of it, is in its beverage use. Now,
while this bill proposes to prohibit
both the manufacture and sale of
intoxicants for that use, it, like
all other prohibitory laws, pro
vides a mode of manufacture and
sale for all other uses, (medical,
scientific, etc.) And it is believed
that the sale for these excepted
purposes is provided for better in
this bill than in any other meas
ure. Other bills have provided
for such sales in drug stores or by
physicians. By these systems
there are as many places of sale <s
there are drugstores or doctors.
These numerous places of sale are
difficult to regulate and supervise.
But under tho Anti-Barroom Bill
there is only one place of a sale
called a “public liquor store,” kept
by a vendor appointed by the grand
jury. The business is separate
from every other and no liquor can
be drank on the promises. The
business is under the supervision
of the county authorities.
No one claims that the law is
perfect; and even if a perfect law
could be drawn it would not ac
complish its purpose unless en
forced. What is claimed for the
Anti-Barroom Bill is precisely
this: That its method of provid
ing for the sale of liquors for pur
poses recognized as legitimate is
the best method yet devised—is
the most easily enforcable—and is
the one least likely, even if poorly
enforced, to degenerate into any
thing tho approximating the evils
of the barroom method of sale. It
is a vital point that the keeper of
the liquor store is not allowed to
make a personal profit out of the
sales, and he is not allowed to
run his business as a political ma
chine to curry favor and secure of
fice, for he is made ineligible to
any office for two years after his
appointment as vendor expires.
Thus the two chief sources of
temptation to violate or betray
the law are removed.
4. The trick of the enemies of
the bill to defeat it by dubbing it
“a dispensary bill” and represent
ing it as similar to the South Car
olina law has alrendy been too
clearly exposed to require much
attention. The truth is that such
a misrepresentation not only dis
closes the dishonesty of the persons
who resort to it but actually sh ws
that they are willing, in their zeal
to injure the bill, to reflect upon
their own intelligence. For the
truth is that while the Tillman
law is valid under the constitution
of South Carolina such a law would
not be valid under the constitution
of Georgia, because our constitu
tion is far more rigid in limiting
the purposes for which public
moneys may be expended. The
use of funds raised by taxation for
tho purpose of selling liquors
through State dispensaries (which
is the prime and characteristic
feature of the Tillman law) is not
only utterly absent from the .An
ti-Barroom Bill, but it is further
true that such a feature would be
illegal in Georgia, and its framers
know it. Hence any man who re-
' sons to the misrepresentation a-

bove described writeshimself down
both knave and fool.
5. The friends of the bill desire
it to be judged by the bill itself.
They have published it far and
w ide. It has been printed in the
Christian Index, the Wesleyan
Advocate, the Temperance News,
the Crusader, and all other papers
are asked to print it. Copies can
be ordered from A. A. DeLoach, or
Rev. A. J. Hughes, Lexington.
The agitation for the bill has
struck terror to the hearts of the
liquor dealers of Georgia. They
have appealed to the liquor dealers
of the nation fora corruption fund
with which to defeat the bill. They
did this in a circular letter which
they never dreamed we would see,
but which promise them shall
have the biggest circulation we
can give it. The circular contains
the astounding statement that they
spent “considerable money” to de
feat the bill at the last session.

Two Incidents at a Revival.
There lived once in the little
city of Williamsport, Pa., an old
judge by the name of Williams.
This old judge was noted for two
things : Fur getting mellow occa
sionally and for being plucky and
courageous under all circumstances
—a gamey old man. It was a pe
culiarity of the old judge that
whenever he got mellow he grew
correspondingly religious. One
night he wandered into a protrac
ted revival meeting and seated
himself upon the front seat, full
of spiritual influence of some kind.
The clergyman, engaged in his
preaching, rose to a fervid pitch
of eloquence, and in the midst of
it exclaimed: “Show' me the
drunkard ! Show me the drunk
ard ! Os all men on earth the
most unfortunate; show him to
me !” To the consternation of all
present the old judge arose, and,
unsteadily maintaining himself,
exclaimed : “Well, sir, here lam !”
The clergyman having realized
upon his investment much sooner
than he anticipated, didn’t know
what to do with it. They finally
pulled the old judge down, and the
incident had passed out of
memory almost, when the clergy
man again struck an impassioned
period, and exclaimed in the hon
esty and fervor of his heart: “Show
me the hypocrite ! Show me the
hypocrite! Os all men on God’s
green earth the most despicable.
Show me the hypocrite!” The old
arose the second time, and reach
ing his cane over to a certain sh a
ky old deacon, exclaimed: “Dea
con, why the devil don’t you get
up when you are called on?”

HE LIKES CHATTOOGA.
And it is the Best Oountry Under
the Sun.
Os course the people who live in
Chattooga know that they have
got the best country in the world,
but strangers living abroad are not
convinced of this fact until they
come in our midst and see for
themselves.
Recently Col. D. B. Hamilton,
of Rome, spent several days over
at Menlo, and here is what he says
of his trip in the Rome Tribune:
“I hear so many people talking
about going abroad,” remarked
Col. D. B. Hamilton yesterday,
“and it astonishes me to think how
few people know anything about
the beauties of our own country.
I boarded the north bound train
over the Chattanooga, Rome &
Columbus Friday afternoon, rode
to Lyerly, where I got off and took
a buggy to Menlo, the beautiful
mountain resort, on the Chatta
nooga Southern, in the heart of
the rich valleys of Chattooga.
I never saw' such crops. The
very earth seems burdened with
the rich and varied products of
that fertile region. The orchards
and vineyards are laden with such
a harvest of fruits as I never saw
before. The drive was perfectly
enchanting, and when I arrived at
Menlo I found one of the most
beautiful spots I ever laid eyes
upon, a veritable eden of rest, re
creation and repose, surrounded
by scenery as lovely as can be
found on the globe.
A beautiful grove of royal old
trees covers the slope, which rises
like an amphitheatre of surprising
beanty. At the foot of the hill
gushes forth a magnificent spring
of as fine mineral water as I have
ever seen, and I have traveled a
great deal. It is a. combination of
iron, alum and magnesia, blended
in the great laboratory of nature
in such a manner as the most
skilled chemists in the world have
•!°ver been able to successfully im
itate.
I can’t tell you how much I en
joyed it. That water w’as more
grateful to the palate than the fin
est champagnes of Provence, and
it made me feel like a new man.
And how I ate and slept, I tell
you, sir, it was a revelation. I had
been feeling out of sorts and kind
of run down, but that trip set me
straight and I felt good all the
time I was there and still feel
good from the effects of it.
I didn’t suppose I should run
across anybody that knew me
there, but Saturday there was a
big Sunday school reunion. Peo
ple flocked in from all parts of the
surrounding country. A man by
the name of Weaver, a minister
from Alabama, made the welcome
address. Then J. Y. Wood, a Chat
tooga county teacher, and a man
of fir e ability, delivered the res
sponse, and I never heard a more
eloquent, scohlarly and enjoyable
address. I sat and listened to him
thioughout and was carried away
with his oratory.
When he sat down somebody be
gan calling ‘Hamilton, Hamilton,’
and I had to get up and give them
a talk, although it was a genuine
surprise to me. Well, next day
the three churches, and they have
three fine churches there, had a
union meeting and I, among oth
ers, was called upon to preach. It
was a glorious meeting, and never
in all my life have I enjoyed a
short holiday season more than I
did those two days at Menlo.
That is, indeed, a wonderful re
gion. The agricultural resources
are simply unimaginable, and in
the hills there are an abundance
of valuable ores. They have dis
covered a vein of coal there that
appears to be in paying quantities
and there is every indication of
the presence of petroleum. I’ll
tell you, the possibilities of that
glorious region are unbounded and
its future is full of the fairest
promise.”
Very likely the anti-barroom
bill will be quite an interesting
measure at the next session of the
Georgia legislature. The prohibi
tionists all over the state are al
ready working for the bill.
Biography of James Jackson An
drews.
Having been requested by many
of my friends to give them a short
history of my life, I have consent
ed to do so, to the best of my abil
ity, though lam so nerve shaken
I can scarcely write at all, being
now in my eightieth year.
I was born in Lawrence county,
S. C., on the 7th day of April 1816.
In my eleventh year I was baptiz
ed into the fellowship of the Bap
tist church at Poplar springs, A.
D. 1827 by Elder David Simmons.
In the year 1834, I moved with
my father and settled in Calhoun
county, Ala., before the Indians
left that country. I united with
the church at Zion Hill and in
1835, I went into the constitution
of a new church called Rabbit
Town, and was elected its first
clerk.
On Dec. 27th 1837, I married
Miss Susannah Scott. During this
year, the church licensed me. to
preach. In 1842 I moved into
Pontotoc county, Miss., and united
with the church at Liberty in that
county. I afterwards moved my
membership to Poplar Springs
church, by which church I was or
dained to the full work of the
ministry, Elder William Young,
E . Smith and L. Ball, being the
Presbytery.
Many of the churches in the
bounds of the Judson Association
called me to be their pastor. I was
moderator of the Judson Associa
tion for many years.
In 1885 I moved to Texas and
settled in Ellis county. In 1886
I was missionary for the Waxa
hatchee Associati3n. My mem
bership in Texas was first at White
League, and in 1888 there came
about my hearthstone the dark
shadow of death, the first deep
sorrow of my married life. On the
the Bth day of October of this year
I lost my first companion; she who
nad stood faithful’y by my side
through every vicissitudes, and
had counseled and strengthened
me through many trials and hard
ships. It was the saddest, darkest
hour of my life. I spent the years
1889 and 90 in Alabama, working
part of the time for the State
Mission board. I then went back
to Texas and settled in Brown
county and was the pastor of In
dian Creek church a part of two
years. On the 19th day of
1891 I married Miss M. M. Mid
dleton. j
My health became so shattered
while here that I left Texas in
search of a more equable climate
hoping thus to restore my health
to its normal condition. I there
fore came in 1892 to Summerville
Chattooga county, Ga., near which
place I settled and am now living.
Now I will retrospect a little by
going back to 1837 and giving you
a few dots. In the great strife
which prevailed throughout the
southern states between the mis
sionary and anti-Mission ary mem
bers of the Baptist church I took
some part by being sent as a dele
gate to Tallasahatchee Association
in Alabama.
I think it is nothing but right
that I should give the facts in the
case as I was an eye-witness, and
I know that after I am no more in
this world these lines will be read;
therefore I will write the truth.
The antis or as they call themselves
the Primitive Baptist did secede
from the Missionary Baptists. Let
every one who reads these lines be
their own judge. Now up to the
time the division took place, we
were all together.
Our anti brethren say we slabbed
off. Now let us see if this be so.
The following resolution was of
fered by one of their party at the
association which met that year,
1837, at White Plains, Calhoun
county, Alabama.
“Therefore, Be i: resolved by this
Association that we declare non
fellowship with all the benevolent
institutions of the day, such as
Bible, tract and missionary socie
ties, Sunday schools, free masonry
and abolition societies.”
There was a motion and second
to adopt, but after a long and
heated debate it was lost, and they

went out and have never since re
turned. Now reader who do you
say seceded?
After this the great question of
abolition between the north and
south became so bitter, the South
ern Baptists withdrew from the
biennial convention. In the fall
of 1844 all the Baptist churches
in the Southern States were re
quested to meet in convention in
May 1845, at Augusta, Ga., and
then and there was the first meet
ing of the Southern Baptist con
vention. Wm B. Johnson was its
first President. 1 rode 250 miles
on horseback to be at the conven
tion .
I have been a Baptist for sixty
seven years and have preached in
every Southern State and in a
great many of the northwestern
states and in 1856 was a mission
ary among the Indians with the
lamented H. F. Buckner.
In 1894 the Chattooga Associa
tion passed a resolution that if I
would resign the care of all my
churches it would support me. It
wai a great trial to me to give up
pastoral work as that was the only
way of my support; and now I
will say in conclusion, I know in
whom I have believed, and I know
my race is almost run and with
assurance could I say, like the
apostle Paul, having done all to
stand.
The field that I have gone over
is large. Fifty-three years in the
ministry, I have baptized 3,493
converts Oh I what a thought—
almost home. I will adopt as
suited to my case the following
lines:
When for eternal worlds I steer,
Where seas are calm and skies are
clear,
And faith in lively exercise
The distant hills of Canaan rise;
The soul for joy now claps her wings
And loud her lovely sonnet sings,
I am going home.”
With joyful hope her eyes explore,
Each land mark on the distant shore
The tree of life and pastures green,
The golden streets and crystal
streams;
Again for joy she plumes her wings
And loud her lovely sonnet sings,
I am almost home.
As nearer still she draws to land,
More eager all her powers expand—
With steady helm and full bent sail,
Iler anchor drops within the vale;
And now for joy she folds her wings
I am safe at home.”

Chauncey M. Depew has a new
story—one which he won’t tell the
next time he goes to Chicago.
Here it is:
“There was once a prominent
man in Chicago who, like all oth
rs out there, had a very exalted
opinion of his own city. He died,
and when he reached his eternal
home he looked about him w,ith
much surprise and said to the at
tendant who had opened the gate

Cleveland Most Emphatical
ly Opposed to a Third Term.
Washington, July 30—Repre
sentative DeForrest, the great civil
service reformer of Connecticut!,
is the first congressman to openly
espouse the renomination of Pres
ident Cleveland for a third term .
He is here today, and says if the
money question is still unsettled
when the convention meets next
year Cleveland must be nominated
to make the fight for sound mon
ey. “Not to nominate him,” said
he, “would be suicide for the par
ty east of the Alleghanies. He is
the only man in whom business
men of the east place implicit con
fidence.”
The Washington Post this morn
ing prints with groat prominence
a leaded article announcing in a
most positive and authoritative
manner that President Cleveland
will under no circumstances boa
candidate next year, even if the
nomination is tendered him by
the convention; furthermore, that
this announcement is preliminary
to one which Mr. Cleveland will
make in duo season.
The article states that Mr. Cleve
land would have made such an
nouncement throe years ago if his
declination then would not have
played into the hands of the op
position faction in New York.
It is generally believed that the
Post’s announcement is made on
authority of a cabinet officer, who
wants to put at rest speculation as
to the President’s purpose .
