The decree for the sale of the Mem
phis & Charleston road, which was is
sued by the Federal court recently, has
been appealed, and cannot be heard be
fore October- The appeal of the case
means delay and litigation, and it will
be a year or more perhaps before any
thing of a delinite nature can be deter
mined.

The negro, Miles Mosely, who was
put in jail in Home recently because
of a story he told of the killing of a
drummer near Chesterfield, is reported
by Dr. G. E. Martin, of Alpine, to be
of unsoud mind. Dr. Martin says that
no one was killed at Chesterfield and
that the whole story is a fake. It
seems that the negro was sick some
time ago, and since has developed
strong symptoms of insanity ofaharm
-1 css sort. The story told the officer in
Rome of the murder of the drummer
by Luke Cavins, was the result of this
dementia, and no attention would have
been given it by those who knew of
his mental condition.

The Summerville fishermen were in
clover last week. In addition to sever
al who have been very lucky with hook
and line, Messrs B. 11. Edmonson and
Will Hinton had great luck with a bar
rel net, catching 21 pounds in one night,
besides various smaller amounts at
other times. Wednesday the “red
boss” commenced shoaling and the
boys commenced raking with their
grabs. Messrs Jules and Arthur Wheel
er caught 50 pounds last Wednesday,
while soi ne of those who fished by their
side didn’t get a fin. It would take a
book to tell of the many wonderful ad
ventures with the finny tribe, of the
enormous fish that got away, and of
the various and sundry means adopted
to catch the “red boss.’’

Here is a little prose-poem from the
Macon Telegraph worthy of remember
ing in this age of pessimism: “There
are a great many great and good men
and women in the world who are illus
tration all that is honest, fair, truthful,
candid and just, and who follow', as
well as human flesh can, thedecalogut
and the sermon on the mount. We
have* left, at least, the love of moth
erhood, the innocence of childhood and
the virtue of our women. While these
remain, and the open Book, the world
is a long way from being given over to
the devil.”

Racoon pond last Thursday with a gig,

FOR THIRD TERM.
Morgan So Characterizes Cleve
land, Adding That it Will
Have No Effect,
Washington, April 27.—Former
President Cleveland’s speech be
fore the New York Reform Club
was a source of prolific talk here.
It is generally regarded by silver
Democrats as a formal announce
ment of Cleveland s candidacy in
1900 on a platform of sound mon
ey and tariff reform.
The tenor of the remarks of
Democratic senators and represen
tatives interviewed is expressed
by Senator Morgan of Alabama
who said Mr. Cleveland’s speech
was a direct bid for the nomina
tion in 1900, but he fancied there
would not be enough Cleveland
Democrats in the next national
Democratic convention to make a
motion and secure a second.
“What effect,” he was asked,
“will Mr- Cleveland’s speech have
on the future of the Democratic
party?”
“None, whatever,” he replied.
“No Democrat cares what he thinks
and what opinion he expresses.
He has separated himself from the
party which he traitorously betray
ed, and for his own peace of mind
and that of his family he should
remain in the state of innocuous
desuetude to which he has relegat
ed himself by his own acts.”

The Advance Courier, the Populist
paper at Cedartown is in the hands of

the Populist Executive committee of

How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indi
cates an unhealthy condition of
the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of
kidney trouble. Too frequent de
sire to urinate or pain in the back
is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of or
der.
What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowl
edge so often expressed that Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kid
neys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passages. It cor
rects inability to h fid urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being com
pelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest f<»r its won
derful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by
druggist; price fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet both sent free
iby mail. Mention The Summer
ville News, and send your
address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,Bing
hamton, N. Y. The proprietors of
this paper guirautee the genuine
