Georgia Legislators On Hogans
ville Postmastership.
Atlanta, Oct. 27. —In the legis
lature this afternoon Mr. Hall of
Coweta introduced a resolution on
the shooting of the Hogansville
postmaster, in part as follows:
“Whereas. In the town of Ho
! gansville, state of Georgia the Pres
ident of the United States has seen '
proper to appoint to the office of
postmaster a man whose appoint
ment was opposed by 90 per cent.
of the property owners and respon
sible citizens of that community; :
and.
“Whereas, In no other section of
the United States would the Pres
ident make or permit to be made
an appointment of like character
—on the Pacific slope the Presi
dent would not dare s to appoint
as postmaster of any Chinaman
over the protest of 90 per cent, of
its property owners responsible ;
citizens, nor would he dare in any
town of the north or east appoint
to a local office one who was op
posed by 90 per cent, of the best
people of the locality; therefore be
it
“Resolved, house of rep
resentatives of the general assem
bly of the state That if
said attempt to shoot said appoin
tee be true, which we disbelieve
then we condemn in unmeasured
terms the lawless conduct of the
wouldbe assassians.
“Resolved, That we deplore this
and similar appointment as exhi
bitions of petty aad narrow sec
tional hate unworthy the high office
; of chief magistrate of this great
; nation.”
The resolution passed viva voce,
but disvision cut off the announce
ment of the result. It was then re
ferred.
His Tale of Woe.
A bashful young man living near
' Durant recently got married, and
a few days afterward he delivered
himself thus to a sympathizing
friend: ‘‘You don’t know how
bashful I am,” he murmured.
“The girls just worry the life out
1 of me, When I stood up to get
married they all giggled and when
the minister asked me if I’d take
, this woman to be my wedded wife
• I said, Purty well, thankee,’ and
; when he pronounced us man and
! wife and said, ‘What God hath
’ joined together let no man rip
’ apart,’ I broke down and bawled.
. Oh, it was horrible! But that’s
: nothing to what’s to come. ‘Bout
eleven o clock lilac night, tbo, old
' man sed, sez he: ‘Jim your room’s
at the head of the stairs.’ I wi l 9
so skeered that when I tried 1 o
stand my legs got all tangled i,p
5 and I fell over the dog and get
’ bit in three places! I waited ui (l .
j til everybody had gone to bed, and
then I crawled upstairs like a
spoon thief. I was afraid to go □
so I sat on the stair-steps ai ; d
shivered and shivered. It’s 4 0
use, sez I; what’s got to be h^ z
got to be, so I took off my
in the dark and shut my ey 3s
tight! Then I made a break f or
the door. I found the bed, afthp
spoonin, around for a time, ard
pulled the cover up clear over
head and laid on the front rail s|i
night long. In the morning I
peeped through my fingers to 8 ?0
if I could dress and get out before
my wife woke up, and hang me if
I wasn’t in bed with the old mu
and old woman! Oh, I car’t
go back—l can’t, I can’t’’’-Colum

FREE TO ALL DOCTORS.
Claimed That a Cure for Consump
tion Has Been Discovered.
San Francisco, Oct. 25. —The
claim of Dr. Joseph C. Hirschielder,
o p this city, that he has discoverd
a cure for consumption has been
investigated by the faculty of the
Cooper Medical college. Sixteen
patients who have been treated with
oxytuberculine, as the doctor calls
his preparation have been examin
ed, and the report to be made this
week will be favorable. Dr. L. C.
Lane, president of the college, an
nounces his faith in the discovery,
i which is in no sense a secret one,
as the method of its preparation
is freely given to the medical pro
session.
Chronic Malaria.
The symptoms are : cold, sticky
sweat, tired-out feelings, chilly feel
ing alternating with hot Hashes,
coated tongue, bad breath, dizzy
head and dull headach, loss of ap
petite, heavy, unrefreshing sleep, 1
ringing in the ears, brown mov
ing specks before the eyes. Os
course no one has all these symp
toms at once, but they will come,
one after the other making the
victim hideously miserable.
The remedy is Peruna. This rem
edy quickly restore the appetite,
when new blood is made strength
returns, refreshing sleep, new cour
age and good nature come back,
one by one. Life is worth living
again.

A young man named Henry Ham
lin, of Peoria, Illinois, died sud
denly the other day from excess
ive cigarette smoking. An autop
sy showed that his lungs were
completely collapsed and covered
with bluish spots. We hear a
great deal about saving the boys
from liquor drinking (all of which
is proper) but it is equally impor
tant for the crusaders to turn
their guns on the cigarette habit.
It is doing almost as much harm
to the young boys of this country
as whiskey, and it is a habit when
once formed more difficult to break
than liquor drinking.—Newnan

Old People.
Old people who require medicine
to regulate the bowels and kidneys
will find the true remedy in Elec
tric Bitters. This medicines does
not stimulate and contains no
whiskey nor other intoxicant, but
acts as a tonic and alterative. It
acts mildly on the stomach and
bowels, adding strength and giving
tone to the organs, thereby aiding
Nature in the performance of the
functions. Electric Bitters is an
excellent appetizer and aids diges
tion. Old people find it just what
they need. Price fifty cents per
bottle at H. H. Arrrington’s.

A BIG DEAL.
Georgia Marble To Be Used
In Minnesota Capitol.
A very important deal in Geor
gia marble has been recently made.
As has been heretofore announced,
the New State capitol of Minneso
ta, to cost three million dollars, is
to be built of Georgia marble. The
Butler-Ryan Company, of St Paul,
Minn., largest contractors proba
bly in the I nited States, havejust
closed a contract to open up and
develop the Herndon marble prop
erty in Pickens county Ga. This
property is owned by Judge G. F.
Gober, o£Marietta, and the estate
of George R. Brown, and compris
es one hundred and sixty acres of
the whitest marble in the Sate-
The contractors passed through
Marietta on last Tuesday morning
and will begin work at once. They
are to build a railroad of probably
one and a quarter miles from Tate,
Ga., to the quarry, equip it, putin
all needed machinery at the quarry
and operate it at once, without
expense to the owners. The owners
are to get a handsome royalty for
all marble used, and a certain a
mount has to be used annually. It
will take 700 car loads or marble
to build this magnificent capitol,
and the very fact that these people
come to North Georgia to get the
material needed shows the super
iority of the marble in this sec
tion over all others. It will be
means of giving a large number
of hands employment and ‘urn
loose a good sum of money in this
section. We coi gri ulate tl.e ow
ners on the splendid deal they
have made. —Marietta journal.

The press dispatches state that
the international agreement
scheme has collapsed . The Eng
lish capitalists and newspapers
were against it and the commiss
ioners from the United Stateshave
no hope for enlisting the British
government. It was not to be ex
pected that the geld worshipping
Englishers would lend a hand in
destroying their idol. Thia action
having been taken, it is more highly
important than ever that the sil
ver forces in the United States
, should stand together.—Newnan
