1110 B'xly CoTfrril lvllh I.nmpi. Could

t;oli>2 to dry up.
(From the Saahi iUc, Ttnn., Uanner.)
Mr. John W. Thpma«, Jr., of Theta, Tenn.,
fii ;i roan witii a rn irt interesting history.
“ It was in ’84,” said he to « reporter who
hjd ask' d him for the story of bi« life, “when
I it as working in the eilrcr mines of New
Aletieo, that r,ly troubles began.
“ From simple indigestion my malady de
velop d int ■ a chronic inability to takd any
substantial fid, and et times I was pros
trate l by ip;!!* of heart palpitation. On
tV* lltli of April, 1893, I suddenly col
lapsed, and for davs I was unconscious,
in fit I was not fully myself until July.
<>;i September Ist I weighed but 70 pounds
whereai my normal weight is 165 pounds.
Alt over my body there were lumps from
Ib' rize of a grafie to the size of a walnut,
r ly Uniters were cramped so that J could not
more than half straighten them. I had on
to ./ i ,*.t control of my lower limbs and
my hand trembled so that I could not drink
without spilling the liquid. Nothing would
remain on my stomach, and it seemed that
I in r-t dry up before many more days had
p i «od.
“I made another round of the phvsician ',
calling in one after the other, and by the
aid of morphine and other medicines they
give in'-, I managed to live though barely
through the fall.”
II -re Mr. Thomas displayed his arni«,
and just above the elbow of each there was
a I live irregular stain as large as the palm
of toe hand and of a purple color, the space
covered by the mark was sunken nearly to
the bone. “That,” said Mr. Thomas, “is
what the doctors did by putting morphine
into in'*.
“On the 11th of December, 189.3, just eight
months after I took permanently to bed- I
shall never forget the date—my cousin, Joe
Foster, of Carters’ Creek, called on me and
gave me a hot of Dr. Williams’ I’ink Fills
fir Pale Feojilc, saying they had cured him
of partial piralyßis, with which I knew he
li d all but died. I followed his directions
and began taking the mpdicine, as u result
1 s'and before you to-day the most surprised
man on earth. Look at my hand, it is ns
steady as yours; my face bus a healthy look
about it; I have been attending to my
4 duties for a month. Hince I begnn taking
the pills I have gained 30 pounds, and I am
still gaining. All the knots have disap.
neared from my body except this little
k rnel here in my palm. 1 have a good
appetite and I am almost as strong as 1 ever
was.
“ Yesterday I rode thirty-seven miles on
horseback, I feel tired to-day but not sick
I used to have from two to’ four spells o!
heart palpitation every night, since I be<an
the use of the pills I have had but four
•pells altogether.
“I know positively that I was cured bv
Dr Williams’ Pink Pills, and [ believe
firmly that it is the most wonderful remedy
in existence to-day, and every fact I have
presented to you is known to my neighbor*
as well as to myself, and they will certify tc
the truth of my remarkable cure.”

i Eloquent and Sentimental Words
from Ingersoll.
Robert G. Ingersoll was colonel
’ of the Eleventh Illinois Regiment
’of Volunteers during tho war.
f Last Thursday he wont out to his
. I old home, mot the veterans and j
j made them an address which had !
i this sentimental and striking opon
’; ing:
• I “It gives me the greatest pleas
• tiro t • meet again those with whom
I became acquainted in tho morn
-1 ingof my life. It is now after-’
l noon. The sun of life is slowly !
j sinking in the west, and before the
| evening comes nothing can bo i
I more delightful than to see again j
L ! ; the faces that I knew in youth, j
; When I knew you the hair was j
brown ; it is now white. The m’rks
1 were not quite so deep and the eyes i
\ were not quite so dim ; and min-!
j gled with (his pleasure is sadness,
j sadness for those who have passed
t ! away—for tho dead. I do not
[ know which is better—lifoor death.
I And it miy be that death is tho
J greatest gift that ever c uno from

1 1 am certain, and that is, that if

1 fact that wo must die, the fact that

it may be, after all, that love is a

Southern Iron.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 2 —The
Tennessee Coal, Ir >n and Rail
road company today received a
telegram from tho Carnegie Steel
company, of Pittsburg, saying that
I the 5,000 tons of low silicon iron
j made of Alabama red ore and
shipped to Pittsburg had been
| thoroughly tested and found to bo
thoroughly suitable for dirot t con
| version into sb-el, and at tho same
time ordering the shipment of 20,-.
; 000 more tons of tho same grade
| of iron.
This removes all doubt as to the
i ability to make steel from low sil
icon Alabama iron, which is the
| product of ordinary rod ore. a fact;
| heretofore disputed.

FIRST ENGINEER.
Death of Joseph Bell, Who Ran
George Stephenson’s Famous
Engine, “Rocket.”
New York, Oct. 1. — There was a
certain pootic timeliness in Die
death of’jos. Bell, which occurred
in London, a few days ago. Mr.
Bell was 83 years old and had
spent most of his life as a locomo
tive engineer. Ho was still , hale
and hearty and except for failing
sight, might still have been in the
engine cab. His doatli was caused
by a fall, which singularly enough
occurred just after the extraordi
nary performances of railroad
trains in Great Britain between
London and Aberdeen and in
America between New York and
Buffalo. Between those achieve
ments and his death there was no
connection, but the coincidence is
sufficiently striking to note. .
Bell’s life spanned tho whole
railroad history of the world. In
his youth he was the engineer of
the first locomotive ever construc
ted—Stephenson’s famous “Rock
et.” For half a century he held
the throttle first of the little slow
going>eiigines of the Rocket type,
and at last of tho monsters which
outstrip the whirlwind, lie had
6een and had been a part of every
change and development of the
carrying industry which has revo
lutionized the world. Ho heard
Stephenson’s audacious prophecy
that a locomotive would attain a
speed of 10 or 12 miles an hoar.
Ho rati the Rocket at 14 inilos an
hour on the average, and made on
one occasion the bewildering
“world’s record” of 29 miles an
hour. And he lived to see trains
run for hundreds at more than a
mile a minute and for shorter dis
tances at the rate of more than
IJ2 miles an hour. His experi
ences afford a wide field for pro
phecy—the very thought of which
is bewildering. Mr. Bell was a man
of frugal habits, and together with
his salary as an engineer and the
prizes won by him at various stages
he acquired a snug fortune.

He Loses Votes—Result a
Straight Democratic Victory.
Atlanta, Oct. 3. —Maj. J. C C.
Black, democrat, defeats Thomas
E. Watson, popuiist, for congress
in the Tenlh disirict by a majority
of 1,002.
The election yesterday was one
of tho quietest ever held in Ge or
gia, a striking contrast to the one
! held just eleven months ago, when
three p otninent men were killed
i in the streets of Augusta and petty’
! rows occurred throughout the sev
eral counties.
Watson claimed that the clec
i tion was unfair, and Black, in dos
! erence to Watson’s views, resigned.
! The special election was honest in
j every sense. The new registration
j laws were respected in most coun
! ties and the majority for Black
j sh <ws that tho district is democrat
:icon a ciean ballot. Watson lost
in most of the counties from his
vote cf 1894, over 103 votes in Mc-
Duffie, his own county.
Populists Wakiug Up.
Topeka, Kan., Oct 3 . —The lead
ing populists of Kansas have star
ted an agitation for an early na
tional convention, and will urge
Atlanta, Ga., as the place and Feb.
21 as the time, so that the nomi
nation can be made Feb. 22, Wash
ington’s birthday. Senator Peffer,
Jerry Simpson, Chairman Brieden
thal and others will urge this date
and place c.n the national commit
tee in the several states. This is
done to force tho freo silver fight
early, as they say both old parties
are advocating a short campaign
in order to sidetrack the financial
issue.
Tho words we speak above the
coffined dead are sweet; sweet is
the perfume wafted from the flow
ers sprinkled in generous profus
ion above the silent sleeper, mo
tionless below; sweet are the kisses
pressed on the cold dead lips winch
in return give back no answering
kiss, and sweet the wealth of eu
logy we spend when words and
flowers and kisses are but empty
things. All these are just and
righteous. But, oh, how sweeter
far, if o’er the stony pathway of
our living friends we’d hide the
cruel stones with all this wealth
of fragrant roses so that their per
fume stealing in the tired heart
would make life sweeter while he
lived. Oh, if the words of eulogy
j which beat in vain upon the ears
that hear not, were spoken while
he made his fight, how many a
weary soldier in this strife of life,
out from whose nerveless grasp
the battered sword had almost
slipped, would c .tch again his
falling arms and struggle on with
courage burning brightly. Do not
wait to kiss the cold dead lips
which feel them not but lay your
tender kisses on the lips which
thirst for sympathy and love, and
thirst perhaps in vain. The flow
ers sprinkled on the coffin lid of
deatli are beautiful; the flowors
which bloom along this way 7 of
life are richer, sweeter far. —La-

The Mistake of Reformers.
, -^- s rule reformers are good
men and they- desire to make the
world better.
But reformers, like other mor
tals, make mistakes, and some
times very serious blunders. When
a reformer lacks experience; when
he knows but little of human na
ture, and when his views are nar
row or extreme he frequently sug
gests impracticable remedies, or
attempts to test them at the wrong
time. He tries tc drive people in
stead of leading them. He has an
idea that ho can make people
moral by a statute or a city ordi
nance, or by clubbing them.
This is unwise. The judicious
reformer takes the world as he
finds it, and educates public opin
ion up to his standard. Ho does
not assail and denounce those who
differ with him. He knows that
Romo was not built in a day, and
he does not expect to revolutionize
his community in a week. If peo
ple differ with him in regard to
questions which have for a long
time divided respectable people, he
gives his opponents the benefit of
the doubt, and doe 3 not t'y to
the law as an instrument to crush
them.
The judicious reformer does not
hold himself responsible for every
thing that occurs in his bailiwick.
He does not set himself up as an
autocrat to regulate the customs
and habits of his neighbors. If
some of his friends enjoy’ some un
lawful amusements which do not
suit his taste he does not u rge the
authorities to forcibly interfere
with them. Hollas souse enough
to know that tho responsibility
for overthing that is wrong does
not rest upon his shoulders.
When the sensible reformer goes
to work ho tries moral
Ho knows that unless public opin
ion is on his side it is useless to
legislate according to his views.
Give us more of these genuine re
formers and fewer of the other
class. The truth is, some people
mistake a disordered liver for a
virtuous i nspi ration. —All a n ta

Miss Henderson, the young lady
who was outraged by the convict,
Neal Smith, at Cole City, and for
which offense the culprit was put
to death by a mob, is in a most
prqcarious condition. The attend

life and death, with but a small
chance oi* recovery. Since tho
outrage the sufferer has remained
in a comatose condition and has
consequently’ been unable to take
nourishment, which renders her
condition more precarious.

A REMARKABLE INCIDENT.
Hon. Bob Moye Receives a Fifty
Cent Piece He Had Marked
Years Ago.
Mr. Walter Pittman showed us
a letter this week from R. L.Moye
of Cuthbert, Ga., acknowledging
the receipt from Mr. Pittman of a
fifty- cent piece of peculiar value
and interest to both parties. It
seems that Walter and Mr. Noye
were old friends and schoolmates
in their earlier days, Moyo once
took a fifty cent piece and stamp
ed upon it hisnatfie and sent it
out into the world, wondering if it
would ever return to him in after
years through tho channels of bus
ness. The two school mates parted
one settling in their native state,
the other coming to Lake Provi
dence. A few weeks ago Mr. Pitt
man took in a half dollar and no
ticed on it the name of his friend.
The idea struck him that his friend
had sent this half dollar travelling
around tho world with the hope
that it would eventually come back
to him, so he immediately enclosed
it in a letter to him, explaining
the circumstances of its falling in
to Ins hands.
Sure enough, it proved to bo tho
identical piece his friend had
stamped his name upon years be
fore. It seems remarkable that
after going perhaps all over the
country it should turn up in the
hand of an old companion, to be
sent back to tho owner.
Mr. Pittman says that his friend
has marked another half dollar
and started it out traveling, with
instructions to bo sent back to the
owner should he (Mr. P.) ever run
up on it in the course of business.

Absolutely pure
In Memory of L. R. Williams.
Ho was born July 29th, 1843,
and died July 24th, 1895. He was
converted and joined the Baptist
Church at old Grove Level, near
Tiion Factory, when he was about
16 years old and remained in its
fellowship until it was said of him :
“‘lt is enough, come up higher,”
He was made a Mason in 1865
in Mt. Hickory Lodge No. 133 and
died one of our brightest past-mas
ters in North Georgia.
Brother Williams was indeed
chastened by the Lord. Ho was
twice married, first to Miss Jane
Loyd, on January the 3rd, 1837,
by whom ho had four children
born to bless their home.
On June 17th, 1888 he was mar
ried again to Mrs. Malissa Sander,
by whom were born to him four
children, who are now fatherless
As a citizen Brother Williams
was loyal and true. When the late
war came he responded to what he
thought was right. Though young
in years, ho wont through all the
great battles of Lee’s army in Vir
ginia. After the war was over he
came home and began to help
build up the waste places. As a
husband he was kind and loving;
as a father, affectionate and indul
gent, though firm and decided in
his management.
As a Christian ho was devoted
and trusted alone in Divine Power.
He knew in whom he had believed
and trusted in that Blood that
Blood that could cleanse from all
unrighteousness. While my broth
er had his faults as other men, he
knew where was his hiding place.
As a member of the church he was
a true man ; and here his * fidelity
beggars description. True to his
church, always ready above his
means to contribute to all the calls
of his church and the kindness ho
showed his pastor was of the Paul
ine type.
Could love and tenderness have
stayed the grim monster he would
not have died; but he “being dead
yet speaketh” is some comfort. So
on July 25th, 1895, at Chat
tooga Church with Masonic Hon
ors, W 6 tried to offer some eulogy
to his memory, and like Abraliam
laid him beside his first wife to
await the trump that will make
every coffined sleeper awake. Till
then we are forced to say: “Alas j
my brother, farew’ell.” But oh,
how as pastor of his church we
miss him, as craftman we miss
•him. But oh, how those who so
often heard his returning steps
and his loving voice, how they will
miss him; how sad and desolate
seems his late home. All of his
familiar appurtenances are there,
but he has gone to that home, we
trust “not made with hands, eter
nal in the heavens.” We have no
doubt that he gave the proper
word at the Pearly Gate, and
sweeping through the middle
chamber of Redemption, he enter
ed the sanctum sanctorum of full
salvation.
Alas, my brother, we are coming
by God’s grace. Then weep not
dear sister, for by and by we,shall
see him face to face and know' as
even we are known, and brother
travelers from the west to the east
looking for more knowledge, let us
make a covenant with his sainted
spirit to meet again amid the rosy
bowers of our Father’s House.
And may love and Divine protec
tion hover about his little children
and her who shared his sorrow and
joy. All things work together for
good to them that love God, and
after awhile with the blessed host
we will meet on the banks of the
bright, flowing river to part no
more. God will wipe all tears
from their faces. J. M. Coley.

CATARRH DESCRIBED.
A Short History of a Bad Malady
By an Eminent Medical
Authority,
This is the way chronic catarrh
usually begins; A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than
usual. 1 hen follows a sensitive
ness of the air passages, which in
clines to catch cold very easily.
At last the person has a cold all
the while seemingly. More or less
discharge from the nose, hawking
irom the throat, nostrils stopped
up, full feeling in the head, and
cracking in the ears. The Pe-ru
un treatment for this disease is
the only treatment that lma with
stood the test of time. Pe-ru-na
should be taken without interrup
tion until every symptom disap
pears.

A Parrott Story.
A man named Lusby, who was a
icket seller for a big circus, had a
great reputation as the “lightning”
ticket man. One of his favorite
expressions during a big rush was:
One at a time, gentleman ; one at
a time; don’t hurry.” Lusby
owned a parrot which sat in tho
ticket wagon near its owner, and
soon learned to repeat the mas
ter’s phrase perfectly. One day
tho parrot escaped, and for hours
and hours Lusby hunted far and
wide for his favorite pot. At last
he heard of such a bird on t ho out
skirts of the town and hurried
away in tho direction indicated.
It so happened that tho bird in its
wanderings, had ventured into a
back yard where two pugnacious
roosters resented its intrusion, and
when Lusby appeared on the scene
tho roosters had tho parrot down
and was making the feathers fly at
every jump. Meanwhile the par
rot was lying flat on its back and
fighting as best it could, shrieking
all the while in a high falsetto
key : “One at a time, gentlemen !
one at a time! Don’t hurry! Don’t
hurry!”
Frightened to Death.
It was the fate of pretty 16-year
old Lizzie Goddard, of Burnside,
Ky., to be frightened to death
by tho first ride she had over taken
on the cars. Five minutes after
she had arrived at Chattanooga oil
her first railway trip she was dead.
Miss Goddard had been in constant
fear of railroads all her life and
boarded the train only after much
persuasion. The train made a
lunge a few miles from the city,
and she jumped from her seat and
screamed in a frantic manner. She
at once became unconscious and
died as she was being removed from
the train. Physicians agree ths.t
she died of fright.
The daughter of Mr. J. D. Crav
en, of Hickory Hammock, in the
Okefinokee swamp, recently kill
ed with a Winchester rifle a bear
that attacked her.
