Collector Triplett, by information !
seized the liquors of Parker it Bishop, I
the original package men, which had '
been levied on by Constable Durham,
under a fi fa issued by Tax Collector i
Fincher for special state tax. Collec
tor Triplett claims that not more than
five galons of unstamped liquor is per
missable. Constable Durham, with
the majestic pose of the Goddess of
Liberty, declared that he would not
surrender the sparkling liquids to the
paid satraps of Federal authority, so
long as he hail the sovereign Empire
of Georgia as his shield. Marshal
Lonny Smith remarked that he would
stand on a lone band, with the imper
ial Uncle Sammy as the “joker.” Thus
arc our liberties menaced. Popular
feeling is with Constable Durham, as
under his authority the packages will
be sold at public outcry within our vil
lage grasp, while under the authority
of the revenue authorities, it will be
sent to Atlanta. Under all the circum
stances the meddling of the United I
States authorities cairnot be character- j
ized other than an indignity to our |
sovereign capacity and a thirst which
the water works will not quench. It |
is needless to say that the Aitors ;
stands on its state’s right bulwark in
this struggle. Vive la Durham.

Barney Greer created something of a
sensation Thursday morning by com
ing into the city and reporting that he
had been shot by a negro man, one of
a group of four playing cards in the
woods on East Hill, upon whom be
had happened to run. He had a bad
wound in the bony part of his hand,
from a 22-deringer, and a natural in
dignation followed, arousing quite a
posse, which was soon scouring the
woods in determined pursuit. Enqui
ries after the supposed miscreants
brought to light the fact that Barney
had shot himself, and had tried to bor
row a razor to cut the ball out. He
afterward admitted this saying that
he told the story to save himself from
a whipping at home. Barney and two
other boys of like age, 12 or 14 years,
had been out to try a pistol for which
they were on a trade, when the acci
dent happened. It is but proper to
add that the scouting party distin
guished itself, in its ready and rapid
movements.

Sewerage for Dalton.
Dalton has a chance to get a com-;
plete sewerage system without delay.
George L. Gillespe am! associates,
of Chattanooga, have submitted a
proposition to Mayor Black, which
only needs to be adopted Into an ort|i- |
nance to secure a sewerage system j
without general taxation.
Section 1 provides for a franchise for
a certain period of years, or until the
city shall desire to purchase, and to
have a rignt to use any street, lane or I
alley, for the purpose of laying mains, ■
pipes, conduits, etc., as shall he ap- ,
proved by the mayor and council.
Sec. specifies that it shall be the I
•‘Separate System,” and states condi
tions of specials, boundaries and ad
ditional circuits, which shall be laid
when one mile is required, and equal
to a revenue of SSO per 500 feet.
Sec. 4 and 5 requires all needful or
dinances necessary to the protection
and conduct of the system, and rights
of the corporate company.
Sec. 6 provides a scale of rates, (not
yet. suggested.) which are to be paid
by citizens using same.
See. 7 pertains to grades.
Sec. 8 provides that when the city
desire to purchase the system, that
the value shall he assessed by three ex
perts, one selected by each party, and
they to select a third.
Sec. 9 requires an ordinance forc
ing all households along aline of ser
vice to use the same..
The need of sewerage in Dalton is
beginning to be felt, and this plan
may be worthy of consideration.
Feel So Tired.
That tired feeling which so many
experience on the least exertion, or
without any exertion, is, in most cast's,
the result is a torpid liver. The food
lays heavy on the stomach on the
stomach, with headache and constipa
tion of the bowels; there is pain in the
back over the kidneys: the urine is
highly colored, and you feel tired all
oyer. These feeling are all produced
by an indetive liver, and can be easily
and quickly removed by a few doses
of Dr. White’s Dandelion Alterative,
This great remedy has stood the test
of time, and is without doubt the great
est and purest liver corrector ever of
fered to the sick and affleted. Pint
' bottles only one dollar, and every bot
tle warranted.

One brief hour and the trouble be
gan.
Messrs. Parker and Bishop, of Annis
ton, came to Dalton a. week since to
give our thirsty populace a lesson in
j personal freedom under the orignal
| package decisions.
They opened Monday morning,
closed ditto. After two days in jail
they were allowed to go under a prom
ise to sin no more in Dalton.
They evidently had got enough of a
genuine prohibition town.
Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, Il[..
makes the statement that she caught,
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated fora month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He told
her she was a hopeless victim of con
sumption and that no medicine could
cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consumption ;
she bought a bottle and to her delight
found herself oenefitted from first dose.
She continued its use and alter taking
ten bottles, fen nd herself sound and well,
now does her own housework and is as
weil as she ever was. —Free trial bottle

The following was overlooked last :
week, in a hurry incident to publishing I
the A net’s one day in advance.
The Dalton District Conference,
about eighty delegates present, closed
a useful session in this city Thursday I
last; Rev. A.G. Worley, I’. E presiding. |
The delegates ami citizens were mu- I
tually delighted. The pulpits of the
Presbyterian, First Methodist, Hamil
ton St. and the African Methodist
churches were supplied with preachers I
of the conference on Sunday—the ser
mons are well spoken of.
Bishop Haygood, with his wonted
love and vm rgy. divided the lime with
the Chattanooga Conference and this
one. His sermon, Saturday, was tin us
nally suggestive and instructive and
like his terse words of counsel in the
husines session worthy the wisdom
and progressioness for which he is
noted.
Rev. Dr. W. A. Candler, president of
Emory College, Oxford, Ga„ was pres
ent a day or two and preached two
great sermons. The subscriptions to
the loan and endowment fund of Eme
ry was over four hundred dollars, would
have been much larger if the church
had not been expending on her house
of worship and Female College about
$(1,000.
Perhaps no man is more endeared
to the people in all sections of Georgia
than Dr. Candler. His persistent, elo
quent efforts t> move legislators to
double the advantages of the Public
School system and the people to edu
cate promptly and carefully, have
drawn to him the hearts of all classes.
Indeed this remarkable young man
touches grandly the mainsprings of the
people’s progress. His visit to Dalton
will abound in good. We hope he will
come again and again.
