Menoasness is the Wail
of the Nerves for Food.
AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH
A PROMINENT PHYSICIAN.
Peep). With Weak, Flabby Nerve. arc
the Oaee who Baffrr in thia Hot,
•altry Weather. They may bo
Relieved by Building up Their
Nerve. With a Nourishing
Nerve Food.
••What a weakkneM individual.”
The person referred to, did indeed look
broken down, dispirited, and lifeless.
“ What is the matter with him
“I scarcely know. During the cool weather,
he seems to be all right, and to have some life
and a little ambition ; but the moment the hot
weather comes he simply wilts down, and
teems to have neither strength nor vitality.”
That explained the case. The man was in
a generally run-down condition with not
enough reserve force to resist the enervating
effects of the season. His nerves were weak,
unstrung as we sav. Ihe food he ate only
partially reinforced his strength. The re
sult was, he had constantly drawn on his re
serve force so long that his nerves finally
rebelled and sounded the gong for him to
stop. If the signal be heeded, and he takes
steps to refresh, and build up his nervous
system, he will recover ; if not and the strain
goes on, nothing can save him.
“There are a good many things recom
mended for this purpose. But the trouble
with nearly all of them is, they are only
tonics or stimulants. They apparently bene
fit, but it is only for a time; then the pa
tient is worse than before. But there is one
food for the nerves, I am happy to say in
which I have the greatest confidence, which
is in reality a fond. It contains just those
vitalizing principles, which impart new nerve
force; it builds up the nerves, and by impart
ing to them new strength gradually COAXES
them back to a normal healthy condition.
They are fortified against the hot weather, the
man recovers his energy, his force ana he
walks with an elastic step. He drives his
work with a will, where before it drove him.
His spirits rise, and everything looks bright
to him. This food is Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People, which are now known and
used the world over; in North and South
America, England and the English provinces,
Canada, India, So. Africa, France. They are
so widely known, and their excellent effects in
nerve building so much talked about both
here and abroad, that it is not necessary for
me to enlarge further on the subject. But I
assure you tne medical profession everywhere
are very glad indeed to avail themselves of
this nerve food, so scientifically compounded,
and that they use it very largely in their
practice.”
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are now given to the public as an unfailing
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all
forms of weakpeM arising from a watery con
dition of the blood or shattered nerves. The
pills arc sold by all dealers, or will be sent
post paid on receipt of price (50 cents a box,
or six boxes for $2.50—-they arc never sold in
bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Wil

An Unlucky Bale.
From the Macon Telegraph.
The following endorsement on a
claim sheet for a bale of cotton
has been received by General
Freight Agent Stone, of the Geor
gia Southern, from the agent at a
station on a connecting line:
“Dear Sir: The day I received
this cotton from the C-andL.road
my wife had twins, and in the ex
sightment and blustering around
this bale got into another lot of
cotton marked A. S. H. R. and that
same night my watchman’s wife
had twins and the next morning
rny billing e’erk’s wife had only
one and all mother-in-laws was
among us, and when we got done
working with the children I could
not find the bale of cotton to save
my life. Ido hope we will not
have another storm of children
during the cotton season. Please
tell Mr. Wooley net to be too hard
on us. Both of my children are
girls and lam afraid I am going
to have a hard time supporting
them. Tell him to take the hale
of cotton ; the price will go up in
a few days and he will make mon
ey on it, but if he don’t want his
wife to have twins to got rid of
the bale as soon as possible, but
don’t send it back this way any
more. Yours, etc.,
Trouble For an Editor.
Jasper, Ala , August 2. —A wes
tern Alabama editor was writing
up a local theatrical entertain
inon t recently and he wanted to
be particularly nice about it, so he
mentioned the names of several
young ladies of the town and wrote
“they nil filled their parts to per
fection.” Then he went home to
quietly pray for forgiveness for all
the lies he lad told. The printers
wont on with their diabolical con
spiracy to drive all editors insane,
and when the paper appeared and
was being delivered to the patrons
it was found they had put “n” in
the place of an “r” in the word
‘ parts.” The girls all have big
brothers and the editor is hiding
in a big swamp that is full of ra
venous animals and poisonous rep
tiles.
An editor out in Arkansas thus
launches volume one number one
upon the people of his locality:
“Our aim—Tell the truth though
the heavens take a tumble. Our
paper —Os the people, for the peo
ple, to bo paid for by the people.
Our religion—Orthodox, with a
firm belief iu hell for delinquent
subscribers. Our motto —Take all
in sight and rustle for more. Our
policy—Love our friends and
brimstone our enemies. If thine
eremy smite thee on the cheek
swipe him with haste and dexter
ity at the butt of his most conven
ient ear. What we advocate —One
country, one Hag, and one wife at
a time. Our object —To live in
ease and splendor.
Hood and Johnston Baptized
In her new school history Mrs.
Susan Pendleton Lee, speaking of
the death of General Polk, says:
“On the first night after joining
Johnston at Dalton the bishop
general had baptized General Hood
in his tent at midnight, and a few
evenings later he administered the
same rite to General Johnsto...
Johnston received his baptism
kneeling in his tent with Ho >d and
Hardee. Hood was on crutches
and could not kneel, and was al
lowed to receive the ordinance
standing on his crutches.”

MRS. NOBLES RESPITED.
Another Chapter In a Fa
mous Murder Case in
Georgia.
Atlanta, Aug. 14.—The case of
Mrs. Elizabeth Nobles, which has
attracted as much interest in this
section as has the case of Marie
Barberi in New York, was given a
temporary settlement today by
Gov. Atkinson, who granted a res
pite until Oct. 18.
The merits were not gone into
at all by the Governor, the appli
cation on the woman’s behalf be
ing simply that sufficient respite
be granted to permit a motion for
a new trial to be made at the next
term of Twiggs county court..
This is an extraordinary motion
for a new trial, the woman’s coun
sel having abandoned her after
her trial and making no effort to
secure a new trial for her.
The Governor granted a similar
stay in the case of Gus Families,
the negro who was her accomplice
though no motion was made in his
behalf. They killed Mrs. Nobles’
husband.
When a person is losing flesh
and wasting away there is cause
for alarm. Nothing so worries a
physician. Consumptives would
never die if they could regain their
usual weight. In fact chore would
be no consumption if there were
no wasting of the system. The
cause of this loss of flesh is a fail
ure to properly digest the food ea
ten. Nine-tenths of all our dis
eases back to some derange
ment of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial
will stop this wasting of the body.
It acts by causing the food we eat
to be digested so as to do good, for
undigested food does more harm
than good. The Cordial contains
food already digested and a diges
ter of foods as well.

“Shall I advertise with space or
with locals?” asked a business man
to the editor of an established pa
per. “If you are going to adver
tise a shoat for sale, a few lines of
locals are enough. If you have a
SIO,OOO stock of goods, two lines
would not convey the impression
you wish conveyed. ‘Greatest
stock on earth at Smith’s’ would
lead the reader to ask why Smith
did not take an “ad” in proportion
to his stock. Take space to cor
respond with the business you con
duct and you will create an im
pression on the purchasing public
that will be a lasting benefit. It
has been trutnfu ly said that the
effects of good advertising never
die.

what in the deuce is to become of

erally when the women folks in a
family wear the breeches it is be
cause the men folks are lazy and
ain’t much account at home, or

SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, AUGUST 21, 1895.
It was late when the Pitcher
street man came home, and not
withstanding he walked in with a
smile and sat down on the other
side of the lamp stand from his
wife, and picked up a newspaper,
as men do when they come home,
she, for some unaccountable reason
suspected him She looked up
over her work at him two or three
times, and finally spoke:
“By the way, John,” she said,
“will you do me a favor?”
“Certainly, my dear; what is it?”
said John.
“I want you to say this for mo :
‘Gaze on the gay gray brigade.’ ”
“Graze on the gray gay bigrade,”
replied John, triumphantly.
“Lovely,” she exclaimed. “Now
try this one: ‘Give Grimes Jim’s
gilt gig whip.’”
“Grive Jime’s Grim’s gig gilt
whip,” responded John, as glibly
as you please.
“Excellent, excellent,” she cried :
“now this one: ‘Sarah in a shawl
shoveled soft snow softly.”
He shivered a little, but never
let on.
“Sarah in a shawl soveled shoft
snow softly,” he said with orator
ical effect.
“Oh, you dear old thing,” she
laughed. “Now one more and then
I won’t trouble you again.”
“No trouble, I assure you, my
dear, go ahead,” said John.
“Well, say this: ‘Say, should
such a lovely sash such shabby
stitches show.”
John gave a great gasp. “My
dear,” he said slowly, “I begin to
shuspect that you shuspicion me
but you are mistaken—entirely
mistaken, and I positively decline
to pose further as a pronouncing
dictionary. You have observed
that I have made a shuchess as far
as I have gone, but there is a limit
and the next thing I know you
will be asking me to say the‘scene
was tuly rural,’ a thing I never
could say without getting my ton
gue twisted, and you will think
your suspicions are well grounded,
when you ought to know they are
not,” and John buried himself
with his newspaper and utterly re
fused to hear any further appeals
from the other side of the table.

Death In Kisses.
There were 2,532 deaths in Chi
cago during the month of July,
according to the bureau of public
health. With the monthly leport
was this advice:
“Do not let others kiss you in
discriminately, and never without
first wiping your lips with carbo
lized rose water and thoroughly
drying them.”
This is a chunk of wisdom from
Dr. Frank W. Reilly, pathologist
bscterologist, meteorologist, ar
chaeologist and erstwhile editor.
To one newspaper correspondent
Dr. Reilly said:
“Yes, that is the way half the
people get consumption ”
“What is your opinion of kissing,
doctor?”
“Vicious, intolerable, barbaric
and vile. This question has been
my hobby for a long time, and I
have studied its results. I knew a
consumptive preacher down inNo
komi i who made a practice of kis
sing his flock every Sunday. The
mortality in the village increased
22 per cent, in one year and when
I left there half the members of
the congregation were leaning

cards with strong thread to big
kernels of corn, and wrote on the
cards, “Please keep y ar chickens
at home.” The chickens ase the
corn and carried the message to
their owners in a fashion that was
startling and effective.

A RAILWAY RUMOR.
The Central of Georgia May
Control the C. R. and C,
A dispatch from Rome, Ga., says
that the Central Railroad and
Banking Company, of Georgia,
will upon its reorganization, as
sume entire control of the Chatta
nooga, Rome and Columbus road.
It is said the Central people now
own nearly half of the road, which
is now in the hands of Eugene E.
Jones as receiver.
The Chattanooga, Rome and Co
lumbus road was buPt by a com
pany organized by J. D. William
son, of New York, in 1888, and was
to run from this city to Carrollton
to develop a rich section. It was,
however, built to Griffin, Ga., in
stead. The line traverses some of
the richest mineral and agricultur
al districts in the state.
The Atlanta Constitution speak
ing of this road, says: “Just now
the road is in a queer combination
growing out of the various big
railroad deals of the past few years.
The Nashville, Chattanooga and
St. Louis having secured control
of the Western and Atlantic pro
ceeded to gobble up the Central.
“The Central had already obtain
ed control of the Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbus, but in the
new deal the Nashville, Chattanoo
ga and St. Louis declined to as
sume any responsibility for the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
but left it still under the control
of the Central.
“It occupies the same position
as the mule in the famous propo
sition of the slave, who acknow
ledged that he belonged to his
white master but that the mule
was his own.
“The present force in charge of
the affairs of the road under Col.
Jones are running it with the clos
est econoinony and are doing very
well.”

A Curious Sight.
A curious sight was witnessed in
Cincinnati during the fire there
the other day. In the building
all the upper floors were stored
with peanuts, 7,000 bags in all.
As the fire ate its way into the
peanuts and burned the windows
of the building out the nuts rolled
out of the window’s in a steady
stream. Each nut was blazing and
they had the appearance of a stream
of fire balls rolling out the win
dows. The 7,000 bags, which were
a total loss, were valued at $3 a
bag. As there were only 40,000
bags of peanuts in Cincinnati and
120,000 in the entire country, the
loss of this stock will affect the
market.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE LEASE SYSTEM.
A Georgia Ex-Convict Brings
Suit for Damages for Inhu
man Treatment.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 11. —Tho
horrors of tho penitentiary lease
system, which is a curse to this
State, are to bo shown up in the
courts. Harvey Merritt, recently
pardoned out of the penitentiary,
has entered suit for heavy damages
against the Penitentiary company.
Merritt recites a horrible story of
inhuman and cruel treatment as
the basis for his action . He was
in for 12 years, but was pardoned
after serving nine years because
he was no longer useful to the les
sees. While working for the Chat
tahoochee Brick Company and in
the coal mines of the lessees in
Walker county, he alleges that he
was at frequent times beaten with
inhuman savageness. Sixty to 70
licks on the naked back, ho says,
with a three-pound strap was no
unusual punishment. At one
time he was given 175 lashes, the
blood spurting forth at each blow.
After this particular he attempted
to escape, was recaptured and he
recites the horrible details of the
beating he received. Six men held
him while Woodruff, tho whipping
boss, plied the knot which was
split by the free of the blows.
One of his eyes was put out by the
terrible strap. At another time,
the ex-convict alleges, because he
was sick and unable to work, he
was dragged on his back for half a
mile, until the skin was rubbed off
his body. He alleges that while
in the mines in Walker county, on
account of defective work, he was
crushed by falling.coal and perma
nently disabled. He was forced
to work in winter without shoes,
which caused his feet to freeze.

BIG JAIL DELIVERY.
The Boy Jailor Overpowered
And the Keys Taken
From Him.
Centre, Ala , Aug. 14.—Centre
has one of the best of jails which
has just been repaired with steel
cages at a cost of $7,000, but with
all its improvements we had a jail
delivery yesterday.
The jailor, a boy sixteen years
old, buckled his pistol on and went
in to feed the prisoners and give
them water. When he opened the
door a negro caught him took his
pistol and keys from him, fastened
the boy up in the cell and walked
out.
He also opened the other cell
doors, but only three of the eight
prisoners walked out with him.
One of them, Newt Wright was re
captured.
The three at large are Horace
Tierce, cha-ged with murder, Loyd
Lewis, perjury, and the negro, Jim
Williams, under twenty years sen
tence on charge of attempt to rape.
The three Groovers, charged with
the murder of Henry Garrett re
mained in jail, saying they did not
want to leave.

Governor Atkinson Orders an In
vestigation of Convict Camps.
The developments in the Porter
Stocks case and the other stories
of abuses in convict camps that
have recently been brought to light,
have led to Governor Atkinson or
dering an investigation of the
camps.
The governor has ordered Assis
tant Keeper of the Penitentiary
Moore to make an investigation of
each camp and to make a special
report on each camp regarding the
treatment of prisoners.
If the investigation is a thorough
one and half tho stories that have
been told of life in tho convict
camps are true, some very start
ling facts will be brought to light
when Captain Moore makes his re
port.

What Constitutes Nows.
Just before reaching the North
Carolina lino I camo upon a squat
ter’s cabin, with the squatter him
self smoking his pipe at the door,
and when I turned in to ask him
for a gourd of spring water he
cheerily called out:
“Howdy, stranger; what’s the
news?”
“Well, it looks like war in Eu
rope,” I answered as I sat down
beside him.
“I don’t keer nuthin’ ’bout Yu
rup—what else?” ho replied.
“They think the cholera may
reach us this year.”
“Dod rot the cholera. Hain’t
thar’ nuthin’ more?”
“Perhaps you have heard about
the great coal mine disaster in Eng
land?” I asked.
“No, and I don’t wanter.”
“But you asked for news.”
“Sart’n I did, and I want news.
I wanter know if tho price of ter
backer has riz. I wanter to know
what moonshine whisky is wuth
down in Knoxville. I wanter to
know if you’n has met up with
anybody who has killed one o’
them dod rotted revenew fellers
lately. I wanter know why in sin
the owner of this patch o’ land
don’t cum down yere and drive
me off and rouse up my perstifer
ous ambishun to git a move on
me ! If yo’ve got that sorter news
stranger, spit ’er out and make me
happy. If you hain’t why jog
along to Bill White’s place and
leave me to suck this old pipe and
keep on with my thinkin’!”
By actual experiments it has
been ascertained that the explo
sive power of a sphere of water
only one inch in diameter is suf
ficient to burst a brass vessel hav
ing a resistingpporerw r er of 27,000
pounds.
