What the Editor Heard.
A STORY FROM CAYL’GA CO., N. Y.
Bllaa Prnnrll, of N'lJe,. N. T., Telia of a
miracle of tlie Nineteenth
Centory.
(»om the Cayuga Co., K. I'., Independent.)
Hearing through Menfrii. Allen A Burch,
druggist* of that Mr. Silas Z. Pen-
Bell, a citizen of that town had
been cured of a bad we of sciatic rheuma
tism by the u»e of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People, the editor of the Cayuga
County Independent deleiniined to know
the truth ot the matter and went out to
Mica. Mr. Pennell ia a farmer and ha« 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 rh< umatism by
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. He said that
three years ago in August 1b1.4, he was
seized with severe pains in the hip, just
where the sciatic nerve is, which gradually
ran down his leg trfaking life n misery to
him but l.ot preventing him from doing
some work on the farm, boon after he was
loading hay when he slipped off the load
and hit his hip on the wheel. After this
he was worse, suffering great agony, and
for some time was unable to do any work.
He took such medicines ns his physician
firescrihed and improved somewhat so that
ie could help some around the farm again.
About Thanksgiving time lie was helping to
put away some, barrels of cider which he had
made, when he strained himself and again
bo came hcl|dess. He then tried another
physician who felt confident of curing him
nr the me 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
_ inine time. By this time his whole body
was' Effected. Sharp pains would start in
his hand or foot, run up one side of his
body, over bi t shoulders and then down the
other side 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 began to despair of ever
being well. In the spring of 1892 a relative
In another county read of a case 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 case. It was
▼cry similar and he determined to try them.
He commenced taking Pink Pills and soon
felt bettar, 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,
■nd in April or Muy 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
«ny other man, and we can say that he
looks like a hale and hearty man who had
never known sickness.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain nil the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
shirs to the blood and restore shuttered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may be
had by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for 600. per
box, or six boxes for $2.60.

MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE, i
The Strength of the Navy Is
Largely Increased.
FOUR OF THE BEST SHIPS
Afloat to Be Constructed As Rap
idly As Possible—Also Fif
teen Torpedo Boats.
Washington, March 25.—The
house today took up the naval ap
propriation bill and, despite seve
ral diverting incidents, made such
rapid progress with it that when
the adjournment was reached all
the paragraphs had been passed
save those relating to the increase
of the navy. The bill carries $31,-
til 1,031 —$2,168,438 more than the
current law, and authorizes four
new battleships and fifteen torpe
do boats, the cost of which com
plete will bo almost $25,000,000.
Not a single amendment was adop
ted, although there was an effort
to provide for a new dry dock at
| the League island yard.

An Editor No Pack Mule.
An exchange came to us last
' week with a blue mark around an
editorial booming a candidate for
office.
A printed slip pasted to the pa
per kindly requested us if we said
anything about the candidate’s
candidacy to send him a marked
copy of the paper.
Wo didn’t do it.
We ain’t going to do it.
We ain’t saying a word.

The cash is in sight.
And we can see the smiling of
the Goddess of Liberty on one side
of the dollar of our dad’s and count
the tail feathers in the great A
mcrican eagle on the other.
In times past we have given a
way columns of paper and reams
of paper and great gobs of ink in a
political campaign.
And what did we got in return?
Nothing but the privilege of wa
ding in the mud behind the band
wagon and spilling coal oil on our
only coat and getting shot on the
tie with a Roman candle.
But times have changed and our
feelings have changed.
Everything has changed except
our pockets.
There is no change there.
We are a democrat, but wo ain’t
no pack mule to carry no candi
dates into office and get the cold
shoulder.
And perhaps the cold mutton
after the election.
Our enthusiasm is gone.
It has leaked through the holes
in our elbows and escaped through
the apertures in our pants.

Food, undigested, is poison. Di
gested, it is life and strength.
Millions of us suffer from indiges
tion, but we often don’t know it.
We think it is something else.
Even doctors often mistake the
symptons.
Pale, thin people who are over
worked, who need strength, who
seem in want of proper food, should
take Shaker Digestive Cordial. It
|is astonishing what food will do
when properly digested.
It will make you strong, revive
you, refresh you, sustain you, make
you fat, iestore your color, make
muscle, brain fibre, course, endu
rance, energy; increase your pow
er to ehrow off disease and keep
you healthy and happy.
Indigestion does just the oppo
site, but indigestion can be cured
and prevented with Shaker Diges
tive Cordial.

1 An Immense Crowd Expected to
Hear These Leaders Speak—
A Great Day For Rome.
Friday, April 8, will be a mem
orable day in Rome.
And it will be one that will be;
long remembered in the history of.
P Floyd county democracy.
The democratic leaders are get
) °
ting ready to give Messrs Crisp
and Smith such a rousing audience
as was never brought together be
fore in the Hill City.
The number of people who will
hear the great joint debate be- j
tween Mr. Crisp and Mr. Smith]
, will run up into the thousands.
Not only will all Romans attend ,
! who can conveniently do so, but
from all this section of country the
people will coaae.
The news hrs been sent abroad
throughout this and the adjoining
counties and the clans will gather
in force on that day.
Hon. Charles F. Crisp, fresh
from the halls of congress where
he wielded the gavel of the speaker
so long and so ably; Hon. Hoke
Smith, from his position in the
cabinet of the president.
t The first will address the people
on the proposed benefits to accrue
from the establishment of free sil
ver; the second will speak from
the standpoint of the sound money
men of the country.
I These are the two most momen
tous questions of the hour and
they will be handled by two of the
ablest leaders of the democratic
party in the nation.
The farmers will be here from
far and near and the citizen of ad-
■ jacent towns will be present. It
. will be a red letter day for demo-
- cracy in Rome.
Arrangements are now being
. made to take care of 5,000, so far
j as the seating accommodations are
concerned. The Howel Cotton
■ Company has kindly tendered the
> use of its large warehouse, and hero
I the great debate will be held. The
: warehouse is well situated and is
i admirably adapted to the purpose.
Seats for 5,000 people will be put
> ! in.
) Other details are being arranged,
) and it is probable that the rail-
■ roads will grant a cheap excursion
■ rate. If this is done, Rome will
> contain a large crowd that day.
It is probable that the debate
■ hero will be limited to three hours
. and it is suggested that it should
- begin not later than 11 o’clock. —

Obituary.
Sunday March 15, at 4 o’clock
p. m. the pure spirit of Robert
] Jones, the on’y son of Mr. and
Mrs. RE. Dorsett, passed from
] the frail body which loved ones
; strove so hard to keep, and passed
i to the realms of peace above.
It is so hard to see the heart
] broken parents and the lonely lit
, tie sister gathering again in the
! home made desolate by the absence
iof the little one that brought so
] much joy and sunshine, but it is a
] great consolation for the sorrowing
] n nes. to know that one who has left
]so many sad hearts below has re
ceived a joyful we’come in that
bright and happy home above. He
was laid to rest beside the body of
the aged grandfather, who had just
preceded him to tho other world,
in Perennial Springs cemetery.
Words cannot describe the gloom
■ that this sad event has cast over
! all in this community, nor how
strong a warning it brings to us
who are living that we should be
prepared for the great change. The
burial service was conducted by
Bev. Jesse Hunt. It was short
and brief, but sufficient to make
many tearful eyes.
It is sad to realize that wo have
seen the bright smiling face of the
little one for tho last time; sad to
know that we shall hear his child
ish prattle no more, but the Lord
gave and the Lord hath taken a
way. Blessed be the name of the
Lord. Julia.

A New York Street That Is In
Perpetual Motion.
A section of Twenty-sixth street
New York, daily enjoys sensations
similar to those caused by a con
stant succession of earthquake
shocks. Everything in the vicin
ity trembles as if suffering from a
mild attack of the ague. It is
really perpetual motion.
There is a clubhouse in this sec
tion, right in the center of tho
trembling district. A recent visi
* tor, one who had not been there
j before, noticed that objects on the
! mantel or elsewhere always moved
i slightly, and that he himself felt
; a strange vibration.
The friend with whom he was
' dining laughed at his uneasiness.
] “Its always that way here,” he said.
“Its only a little shake, perhaps
the hundredth part of an inch, but
its’s perpetual. Some day I fear
the building will shake to pieces
all at once, just like the ‘wonder
ful one boss shay.’ The cause?
Oh, it’s that electric light plant
opposite—engines and dynamos
j running all the time. Enough
: steam power is exerted to blow- the
] block to Jericho —enough electri
] city generated to light a square
] mile brilliantly every night. All
the houses around here shake.
“I remember when this block
was a most exclusive residential
neighborhood. Now at least half
of it—the half that shakes most —
is given over to small shops and
cheap theatrical boarding houses.
There’s one pleasant aspect, how
ever to this vibration.
Then tho clubman performed a
pleasing experiment. He reques
ted the caterer to bring him a
glass of milk, some rum, ice and
sugar. These he blended, after
which he placed the glass upon the
window sill. “In three minutes,”
said the clubman, “it will be a
perfect milk shake.”
It was no exaggeration. The vi
bration, though annoying, at least
supplied one want. —New York

THEY PRAY FOR JAKE.
And They Included A Rome
Lawyer In Their Petition.
JHEY fIRE~FROM BOSTON.
And Have Come to Georgia On
A Mission Os Mercy
And Reform.
Two Boston women, of the
school inarm variety created a sen
sation in the oflice of Principal
Keeper Turner of the penitentiary
department Saturday, one of them
falling on her knees and offering
up a fervent prayer for the salva
tion of the people of the state of
Georgia for allowing convicts to
be worked beneath the summer
sun in such a shocking manner.
It happened in this way. Mr.
Jake Moore, the assistant keeper
of tho penitentiary, was sitting in
the office conversing with Mr. Hal
stead Smith, the well-known law
yer of Romo, when two maiden la
dies of the vintage of 1850 came in
and announced that they were from
Boston and had come down here
to try and better the condition of
the poor covicts who were slaving
away their time in tho penitentia
ry, especially those who were black.
She asked for passes to visit the
different camps in the state, and
they were supplied by Mr. Moore.
One of the callers, the one hav
ing a most sanctified appearance,
asked Mr. Moore who he was, to
which he replied that he was the
assistant keeper of tho penitentia
ry- ,
“And who is that?” she asked
turning her glassed eyes toward
Mr. Smith.
“That madam,” said Mr. Moore,
“is Mr. Halstead Smith, a lawyer
from Rome,”
“Let us pray,” cried the woman
and falling on her knees she offer
ed up a fervent prayer asking God’s
blessing upon the people of this
state and to open their eyes to the
great wrong they were doing in al
lowing tho present convict system
with all its abuses to stand, and
she prayed that God would bless
the assistant keeper and the law
yer, and when she concluded she
bowed herself and companion out
of the office.
Mr. Moore says tho woman never
thought of praying until he an
nounced that she was in the pres
ence of a Rome lawyer and then
she thought it was time to pray.
During the winter-of 1893, F. M,
Martin, of Long Reach, West Va.,
contracted a severe cold which
left him with a cough. In speak
ing of how he cured it he says: “I
used several kinds of cough syrup
but found no relief until I bought
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy, which relieved me almost
instantly, and in’ a short time
brought about a complete cure.”
When troubled with a cough or
cold use this remedy and you will
not find it necessary to try several
kinds before you get relief. It has
been in the market for over twenty
years and constantly grown in fa
vor and popularity. For sale at
25 and 50 cents per bottle by 11.

SHAMMING INSANITY.
Confession of a Murderer Sen
tenced to Hang at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., March 25. —Gov.
Atkinson has granted a thirty
days’ respite to Alex Carr, whose
sensational confession that he has
•, been shamming in his pretensions
i of insanity has been the sensation
I of the week. There has been strong
■ pressure brought to bear upon the
I Governor by people who believe
• | that the confession is but another
• evidence of insanity. It is claim-
• ed also that newly discovered evi
dence will show that King had
threatened Carr’s life just before
‘ the shooting occurred.
Carr is in a highly nervous con*
1 dition and seems more like a crazy
man than he has been at any time.
■ President Powell, of the state in
- sane asylum, gives it as his opin
ion that this man is insane. This
may save his neck .

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Trammell Starr, of Dalton, T.
C. Milner, of Cartersville and T. J.
Lumpkin, of Trenton, are all ac
tive candidates for solicitor gene
ral of the Cherokee circuit.
Hon. G. W. M. Tatum, the pres
ent state senator for the Forty
fourth district, has announced his
candidacy for the position of clerk
of the next house of representatives
and has begun a vigorous campaign.
His friends claim that they will
elect him over all opposition. His
former service in tho house and in
the senate has given him a reputa
tion all over the state.
Dr. A. Shamblin, of Broomtown,
Ala., is the Populist nominee for
Representative from Cherokee
county at the August election.
W. H. Ennis, of Rome, is a can
didate to represent Floyd in the
lower house of tho General Assem
bly. Major Fouche, Lindsay John
son, Henry Walker, Felix Corput,
John Reece and about a dozen oth
ers are spoken of as possible can
dates. The office is not begging.
Gordon Leo will be a candidate
to succeed himself as representa
tive of Walker county. Mr. Loo
made a splendid record as an ac
tive, working member, and no bet
ter man could be found for the
position than ho.
George Cureton, of tho State of
Dade, also wants to go back to At
lanta to represent his bailiwick,
and most likely he will go.
In Whitfield, Dr. Clements, of
Tunnel Hill, is being urged by his
friends to make the race. He is
very popular, and if he enters the
field his opponent will have to
hustle.
Those who are troubled with
rheumatism should try a few ap
plicatians of Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm, rubbing the parts vigorous
ly at each application. If that
does not bring relief dampen a
piece of flannel with Pain Balm
and bind it on over the scat of pain
and prompt relief will surely fol

simistic comment upon tho Cuban
' discussion at Washington, and
I point to the fact that three sena-

refers to the fact that the Spanish

The Country Editor.
1 he country editor is a combina
tion of a city newspaper. His
sphere of usefulness, although not
so übiquitous, is quite as important
as that of the great con temporaries.
His single weekly paper is in min
iature the seven issues per week of
the great dailies. His constituen
cy is often the most moral and
high-minded to be found in the do
main of history. Ho reaches the
homes of brain and brawn that
send to the colleges and cities the
great, well balanced men of the
age. Ho may not uproot scandal,
expose corruption, tear down relig
ious and political parties, create
empires or crush dynasties, but ho
reaches and influences the major
ity of the army of boys, who in af
ter years, fight tho groat batt Io of
life in tho pulpit, at the bar, in tho
hospital, and even become his most
distinguished co-workers in jour
nalism.
The country editor may take
wood and potatoes for his subscrip
tion price, but he never lies about
his circulation. He may mention
in detail tho process of construc
tion of country barns and tho in
tervisitation of- unimportant
bumpkins, but ho makes no at
tempts to build his fortune on
scandals, broken homes, nasty
twaddle, ami undue prying into
private life. He may write wretch
ed English and deplorable gram
mar but ho never talks about “in
ndcuous desflfttude” and “master
ful’ efforts. He may publish three
pages of patent insides to one of
the original matter, but he never
steals tho news and brains of oth
ers because a geographical differ
ence of time favors his location.
He may set his own type and turn
the crank of his own press, but ho
never scales down the wages of his
employes, nor treats printers like
cattle nor pays starvation wages
to reporters. He may deplore cer
tain local usages and want of ap
preciation of his columns by busi
ness men, but ho never pursues
people who have no means to reply
with vindictive hate, with vile car
toons and outrageous persecutions
to tho grave. Hois not a life
wrecker, nor a family wreckc r, nor
a scandal monger, nor a party po
litical poltroon, nor a bribe taker,
nor a washer of dirty linen. What
ever his mistakes, troubles and. lu
dicrous exhibitions at times,
country editor is an honest,
taking citizen, one of the p< tent
•actors in tho higher civilization
of tho ago.—New York Dispatch.
