By It the Bluffer Lost One Posi tion and Gained a Better. “That’s a true saying about hav ing honors thrust upon you,” said the reminiscent man. “I have proved it rayself. I was the ten : derest kind of a tenderfoot when I j went out to a town called Ciscoon i the Central Pacific road, about the | time that line was being connected i with its running mate, the Union i Pacific. I was foreman, by a strange chance, of a lot -f navvies, | and in order to look tough I culti- I vated a ferocious beard and wore a slouch hat with a swagger air. I But I was as nervous as a woman, and where every man carried a six ! shooter I nover dared to arm my s?lg with anything but a stick of mountain ash. Well, one night when I was eat ing my supperl was informed hur i riedly, with a good many oaths, that the combination gang of men were fighting and had already killed the night foreman, an old . man who was far above his posi- I tion but who had chanced there, like myself, through adverse cir cumstances. It made my blood I tingle, not with fear this time, but ■ with a sense of anger that swal lowed all other feelings. He had been so uniformly kind and pati ent with the men that it seemed a dastardly deed to I arm him. Seiz ing a rifle from the wall behind the old tavern counter, I rushed out to the rescue. “Stand back!” I thundered, as I Hung my self into the fight, where seventy-five men were brawling; ■‘l’ I shoot the first man. that op poses mo!’ My school-book declamation had a good effect. Every man stopped fighting to stare at me. They were two rival factions quarreling over their work on the ab itments, and I commanded thi m indis criminately to pick up t! 6 injured foreman —who was still I re thing and help carry him to a place of safety. I led the way, people bolt ing their doors as I approached, but I shoved in a door with a glass front and flourishing my rifle or dered assistance in restoring the old man. Thon I dismissed the 4j-o«<i. only opening the door agaNi. rifle in hand, to admit a doctor. The old foreman was not fatally inj tired . .1 sent to Truckee for his wife, who came aud took him ! homo, both of them loading me' \ with their thanks I lost my posi tion, as I heard, because I was a brawler and a dingerous man. It i was rather hard lines, but one day the sheriff sent for me. “Would you take a position un der me?” he asked cautiously. ■ I hesitated, as the only position I I could think of at the moment i was that of hangman. ) “I know it isn't what you should have, but it pays fairly well, and j you have already inspired such i wholesome fear among those fel- | lows that they’ll give you a good letting alone. I want you to be ' my deputy.” “I think if I had been asked toJ I ‘ be president I would not have been ; more surprised. I forgot to say that when I examined the old rifle | which h i d won me so much credit; it was not only not loaded, but had not been for a generation, and was nd with rust besides. I filled the position of deputy for four years, and it was the most peaceful four years they ever ex perienced out there. I was a gi gantic bluff.” A number of Georgia papers dur ing the campaign have referred to I Gov. Atkinson as a “wife-made man,” and his friends have not de nied the assertion. «> The people of Pike county are very much afraid that the Delks will escape from jail and return to! their former home to take revenge on those who prosecuted them. Hon. Pope Barrow accidentally shot Hon. F. G. Dußignon in the arm at Savannah on Wednesday night. They were at supper aud Mr. Barrow's son was examining a new pistol when the accident hap . peued. The Result, The state Democratic ticket was elected yesterday by a majority much larger than that of 1894. This result was obtained after a hard fought campaign in which the issues were clearly made. Those irsues were entirely local and yesterday’s vote cannot be considered as having any bearing upon the national campaign. The election demonstrates three things: 1. That the people of Georgia indorse the administration of Gov ernor Atkinson. That they are opposed to a state prohibition law and want the pres ent -local option system maintain ed . 3. That the negroes of Georgia appreciate the fair treatment which has been given them by the present state administration. Anyone who considers the vote of yesterday intelligently will, we believe, agree that its significance is mainly covered by these three points. It was natural to expect that the present s ate administration would be indorsed. It has been an honest and an able administra tion. It has protected the honor and interests of the state. It has been free from scandal and just to al! classes of citizens. The people were unwilling to repudiate an ad ministration which has been so capable and worthy in all respects and to risk the experiment of a Populist regime. The liquor question played a largo part in the campaign. The Democrats contended that the present local option system should be maintained. Under it any county or municipality which does not want liquor sold within its limits can prohibit it. The law embodies the principle of hon e rule and by its operation 10(5 < f the 137 counties in the state are “dry.” Local option has worked well in Georgia and is recognized by a majority of the people of this state as the best method of dealing with the liquor question. The Populists demanded the en actment of a s’ate liquor law. It was not exactly clear whether they favored the dispensary plan or ab solute prohibition, but the excel lent effects of the local option law deprived them of the votes of many Prohibitionists and arrayed • the conservative-sentimentgainst them. The local option system will stand in Georgia. It presents the best system of regulating the li quor traffic that has yet been de vised. There is less whisky sold in Georgia than in some of the states which have a general pro ; hibition law. j The part which a majority of the negro voters took iu yesterday’s election is creditable to them. It shows that they appreciate the es- I forts of the state administration to give them the full measure of their rights as citizens and to en courage them in all just endeavors | [ln spite of the efforts ot the Re publican boss of Georgia to throw. ■ their votes to the Populist candi dates a majority of the negroes acted on their own judgment and with a just regard for their respon sibility as citizens and a proper appreciation of the treatment they have received from the state ad ministration, voted for the Demo cratic nominees. The result is certainly gratify ing. We congratulate the people of | Georgia upon the assurance of a I good state government for two! years to come. We congratulate Governor At kinson and the other state officers elect upon the handsome popular • vindication they have received. — I Atlanta Journal. in combination, pro ■ portion and preparation of ingredi ents,Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses great curative value.

Green, | who lives about three miles from this place, was consumed by fire last night. Mr. Green had fed his stock, gone to the house and in the i course of an hour, stepping out upon his front porch, he discovered his magnificent building wrapped in flames. Everything in the building was destroyed, including several horses and mules, one buggy and carriage, six hundred bundles of fodder, several tons of hay and all his farm implements. Mr. Green was in town early this morning and said that the to tal loss by the fire will be more than $1,250, with but $250 insur ance. The Darlington, Wis , Journal says editorially of a popular pat ent medicine: “We know’ from experience that Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy is all that is claimed for it, as on two occasions it stopped excru ciating pains and possibly saved us from an untimely grave. We would not rest easy over night without it in the house.” This remedy undoubtedly saves more pain and suffering than any other medicine in the world.

A Newspaper Man Relates a Mar vellous Story. An Interesting Chapter in His Own Life-Some, We Hope, May Profit by Reading Same. From the JTcrald, Columbia, Tenn. Manty County is one of the richest and biggest and best counties tii Tennessee. It would be an eyaggeration to say that tiny one man knew every other man in this county, but it may safely be said that few, if any, can come nearer to it than Mr. Joe M. Foster, whose home is at Carter’s Creek, and who is now connected with tlie Herald. In the interest cf the Herald he has visited nearly every home ivi the county. Upon “state” occasions—that is, the Herald’s an nual pic-nio reunion he is the “ Master of Ceremonies. ” There are. few men better known, few better liked, none more trusted, and what he says the Herald, unconditionally and unequivocally, will vouch for. To see him now in perfect health and energy, one would not think that two and a half years ago he was a bed-ridden invalid, a physical wreck, whose family physician, loved ones at home and friends all thought was soon to be called hence. But such is the case, and not only he but his family and a hundred friends will testify to it. It was a peculiar aiiliction he had, and his cure was marvellous, his recovery a nine teenth century miracle. And that others may enjoy the blessings of the wonderful medicine which beyond the peradventure of a doubt—under God’s blessing—saving his life, Mr. Foster—not desiring publicity but with the hope of doing good—lias con sented to tell of his sickness and his cure. It was in the fall of 1892 he was taken ill. He was a farmer then, and had spent the day exposed to the weather and working in the field, and for five hours was in the mud, in a stooping position. In a few days thereafter he nacl a peculiar feeling in his feet and hands; they became numb i.nd felt as if asleep. But, perhaps, it would be better to let Mr. Foster tell his own experience, and this is what he says: “Following the numbness of my feet and hands, that numbness spread until my whole body was paralyzed. I had a dreadful con striction around my body, and as I grew worse this extended up, cutting, off my breathing; it finally got within a few inches of my throat and it was with difficulty that I breathed at all. At irregular intervals I had lightning pains throughout my entire body and limbs, and for at least five months I was perfectly htdjjless, and a man servant was kept in my room day ilnd flight to turn me in bed and wait upon me. “lathe earlier part of my illness my feet felt as if I was walking bare-footed on a stiff carpet. Soon I could not walk at all in the ■dark, and could not even stand alone with my eyes shut. I rapidly grew worse, and soon my limbs refused to carry me. Finally I lost my sense of feeling or touch, and (Sotild not tell when my feet were against each other, but felt all the while as if they were being pulled apart. “In the beginning I had Culled in my family physician, a very successful practi tioner. He put me on a treatment, with in structions to keep very quiet. But I contin ued to grow worse, and in about six weeks he told me, candidly and honestly, that he had done his best, that he had also advised with some of Columbia’s leading physicians, giv ing them my symptoms, but that he could do nothing for me and it was useless for him to try any further. He and the physicians with whom he advised pronounced my dis ease locomotor ataxia, and incurable. “He told my friends they could try any thing they wished, and then I began trying everything that was suggested. I tried dif ferent kinds of electricity—belt pads, shock ing machines and electropoise, with number less kinds of medicines, both internally and A NEW DEAL. State Treasurer-Elect Speer Has Offered Him the Position of Assistant State Treasurer. An impartant change in officials in the state department was re ported at the capitol today. State Treasurer Elect Speer, it is announced, has tendered the po sition of assistant state treasurer, which he now occupies himself, to Captain Chas. T. Furlow, while the vacancy that will be created in the office of the comptroller general cii account of Captain Furlow’s ac ceptance of this new position will be supplied by the appointment of Captain “Tip” Harrison by Comp troller General Wright. Captain Furlow has been chief i clerk in the comptroller general’s department for a number of years, and is regarded as one of the most ’ competent office men in the state. He will go into the treasury de-| partment January first at the same | time with State Treasurer Speer, who was elected on the democratic ticket yesterday. As assistant state treasurer he wi’l also be assis tant bank examiner for the state’ and in that capacity come into; contact with the outside business I world. Few’ men in the state are per-) ! socially better known than Captain “Tip” Harrison. • He was secretary of the execu tive department during several administrations, retiring at the ! commencement of Governor At kinson's first term. His position in the office of the comptroller i general will be a highly responsi ble one. externally, but all so no effect, until, about April Ist, 1893, a cousin, Mr. A. N. Aiken, ' of Columbia (who is now clerk and Master of the Chancery Court of this county), re i commended Dr. Williams’ Pink ’’ills for ’ Pale People. “I began using them as per directions for locomotor ataxia, and in about one week some of my friends thought I was better; but it was two weeks before the improve ment was plain to all and satisfactory to my self. Then, however, I knew the pills were doing their grand and glorious work, and I kept taking them until I could hobble about on crutches. “It was suggested to me then that nature would do the rest, and I left off the pills. In about ten days I saw that I was going down hill again; I promptly renewed the pills, and again I began to improve. A second time I tried to leave the battle to a good constitution, but found it still too weak so I commenced on the pills again, and kept taking them until I was well. “I was in my fifty-first year when I v, as taken sick. It is now about two years since I discarded stick and crutch and found my legs strong enough to carry me. I am en joying splendid health, weigh more and look better than for years, and attribute my health and ray recovery and life to the magic of Pink Pills for Pale People, under the blessing of God. “I have recommended these pills to a number of people, and many I know have been cured by’ them. I wish in my heart that every person on earth who is suffering as I was could get them and would try them. “ To those who know me, I hope it is not necessary for me to add that I make this statement of my own free will, without money and without price. But if there ar& ’ any who are inclined to doubt, I will refe< them to Dr. J. H. Hill, J. M. Hunter, 1 D. Lockridge, Joe Terwell, Anderson Nio» hols, S. B. and G. W. Nichols, all of Cartw’w Creek, Maury County; Tenn., or if they will call upon me I will give them the names oi • hundred witnesses of as good men and womeil as the sun ever shone upon. “Hoping some poor sufferer may read anoj believe and be raised from a bed of pain, Iq am Very respectfully, Job M.

Mean liquor, large rebates, fat jobs, an army of partisan constables and low’ spies —this is. the swarm of evils bred by the dispensary. During the re cent primaries the constables en deavored to earn their salaries by electioneering for the present state house officers. All this gees to show that the dispensary is not only a nuisance, but a menace to good order and civil liberty. Talk about the saloon in politics; all the saloon-keepers in Georgia did not wield a’ tithe of the power wielded by the dispensary consta- I ble of South Carolina. The supreme court has held that the law empowering the legislature ito charter towns of 2,000 inhabi i tants and under is valid. A pecu liar feature of the decision is that only a few weeks ago the same court ruled that the act under which the towns were chartered w’as unconstitutional. It was pointed out to the court that it was ruling directly opposite to a ’ former decision, and the precedent ■ was allowed to stand. Commissioner Nesbitt has at last discovered a wire cotton tie that can take the place of the flat tie. It has a patent buckle Jo it and is c Jlqd the Hitt tie. Lead ing compresses recommend it as i being in every way as good as th* flat tie. It is cheaper.
