/ ATHENS DAILY BANNER. ESTABLISHED 1832. ATHENS, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER G, 1902. 85.00 A YEAR. YOUNQ M’QPEQOR DIED YESTERDAY. A Peculiarly Sad Occurrence That Removed a Manly Young Citizen. The Funeral Held Yesterday Af ternoon at Four O’clock. The Remains Will be Interred This Morning in Atlanta. Yesterday morning at an early hoar Strickler McGregor, the young ion ot Mr. D. W. McGregor, died after a brief llloess. Last Friday it was noticed that the young man was getting very pale and once or twice he vomited a little blood. The trouble was diagnosed as haemo philia, a condition of the blood that pre cludes its coagstation it a hemorrhage was started. The probability is tbat the vessel from whiob tbe hemorrhage took plaoe was %ot larger than a hair and that the young man had been bleeding for at least three weeks before death ensued. The entire abdominal cavity was filled with blood. Knowing the peouliar condition of the young man’s blood, the physicians from the beginning were satisfied that there was no hope for his reoovery. The occurence of cases of haemophilia is very rare in this country. It is proba bio that there are less that one dozen such cases in the United States. Very few cases have ever been reported to the medical journals. Young Mr. McGregor had in the past few years come near bleeding to death, onoe from sticking a toothpick in his fiuger.

A committee will make another round next week In an effort to wind op tbe summer sohool fond. Only abont (500 is now needed to oomplete the fund re qaired of the people of Athens. With this fund oomplete the general educa tion board will give Athens the snm of (8,000, making a total oi (0,000 with which the managers of the insiitntiou can go ont into the field of educational work and secure some of the best talent In the oonntry for the Athens summer sohool. Up to this time (2,439.50 baa been sob scribed by the people of Athens for the summer school. Three thonsand dol lars will be required of the people of this city to pnt the movement square upon its feet, and it is to be sincerely hoped that tbe people of Athens will readily subscribe the remaining snm.

It was unanimously agreed that tbe shortage should not, if possible, be carried over to next season and an ef fort will be made to raise the amount necessary for relieving the financial em barrassment. The University Btudents will endeavor to raise us much of the amonnt as possi ble among themselves and Georgia alnmni will also doubtless be asked for aid. Manager Heyward states that abont (1:00 is needed to meet all the unsettled expenses or the season. Until the Sewanee game the prospects fora very successful financial season were bright.bat a considerable snm was lost on this game. Manager Heyward, however, managed the season with remarkable ability and but for tha nnfotfnnate ontoome of. the game mentioned would have reported a small balance on hand. At a meeting of the elective oonncil, composed of Ridley, tbe paBt season’s football captain ; Coach Reynolds, Prof. Patterson, director of athletics, and one other member of the faculty, Dr. Camp bell, held Thursday night, Mr. Harold Ketroa was elected captain of the Geor gia football team for the season of 1903 S-veral men of the team, inoluding Beaver, Harmon, Diokerson and Smith were mentioned in connection with the captaincy, but the Doard finally deter mined upon Ivetron as the man for the place.

Mr. McRee took dinner at the Normal School and after dinner, in con versation with a representative of The Banner, said : "Some of the happiest days of my life were spent in Athens. I have always loved this oity since my college days here, and the sound of the old bell on the chapel awakens all the enthusiasm iu my being. I have taken great pleasure in voting for the appropriation made for both the University and the Nor mal School and I hope to assist these institutions at the next session. The Normal School is a wonder and I am convinced that President Branson is going to accomplish great things for the oommon schools of the state in his work throughout the coming years Athens is growing wonderfnlly and 1 am glad to see The Bnaner keeping pace with the city.’’ A glass of water taken half an hoar before breakfast will usually keep the bowels regular.

A Good Cough Medicine. [From the Gazette, Toowomba, Ans. tralia ] I find Chamberlain’s Oongb Remedy is an excellent medicine, I have been suffering from a severe cough for the last two months and it has effected a cure. I have great pleosnre in recom mending it.—W. O. Wockner. This is the opinion of one of our oldest and most respected citizens, and has been voluntarily given in good faith that others may try the remedy and be bene- fitted, as was Mrs. Wockner. This rem edy is sold by all druggists. Mrs. F. H. Bowden sent to The Ban ner office yesterday afternoon a very large and very fine radish, weighing eight and one half pounds. This radish with a great many more nearly as large, was raised in the flower garden of Mrs. Bowden and did not receive more than ordinary attention. The radish was seen at this office yesterday by a large number of persons who were unanimous in declaring that it was the largest rad ish they had ever seen, and that Mrs. Bowden was easily entitled to the bine ribbon as a vegetable gardener. Tbe beanty abont the large radishes grown by Mrs. Bowden is the fact that they are as tender and sweet as the ordinary sized ones usually raised through this section of the oountry. Mrs. Bowden resides on Dongberty street, and her flower and vegetable garden is a thing of beanty and will be a joy as long as these large radishes last.

EL Howell, Houston, Tex., writes; “I have used Little Early Riser Pills in my family for constipation, slok head ache, eto. To their use I am indebted for the health ot my family. The Orr Drag Co. Coffee was first discovered in the sixth century by an Arabian shepherd who having observed the goats of his flock skip about and display other signs of in- toxication after eating the coffee berry, concluded to try its effects on himself, and thus discovered its exhilarating property. This discovery proved the poor shep herd's nudolng. for he indiscriminately need large quantities, green, for its ex hilarating effect and soon died, poisoned by its use. In the sixteenth century, it was intro duced into France, and was used so strong and excessively, particularly by tbe Parisians that it was found to injure alike tbe complexion and digestion. This discovery prevented its general in- trod notion into other European oonntries for the next centnry. Since that period, its growth has grad ually spread tnrough theoivilized world, despite the fact that pain and destruc tion follow its path, dyspepsia having lieen hardly kaown before its introduc tion. It Is a "nerve stimulant" and narcotio poison, and though in no sense a food, is used for its stimulating prln eiple, Caffeine, which excites the nerves unnaturally and wastes the reserve foroe of the body. Coffee drives the nerves for a time, stimulating them beyond their natural fanetion, and using up all their reserve force. After the first effects are past, comes breaking down of the nerve centres and general nervous derange meat. Following this in many bnt not all cases 1b a long train of misery, among which the principal symptoms are dry ness in month and throat, headache, biliousness, pains in stomach or abdo men, pain in eyes and head, loss of appetite, dyspepsia and so on through a long, long list, but the one cause of all the different Bymptoms is the same. The nerves have been broken down their reserve force is gone. Many of the symptoms of poisoning are — extreme nervousness, restlessness, angnish of mind and heart, excessive relaxation of body and brain, gloominess, Inability to think correotly, sleeplessness at night, drowsiness in the morning, eto.

At the meeting of the board of direc tors of the Athens Yonng Men’s Chris tian Association Thnrsday night. Secre tary W. T. Forbes made his annnal re port, covering in detail a most successful year’s work. The report shows 85 senior members, 97 student members, 53 junior members and 15 members of the working boys’ olob, making a total membership of 250. Daring the past year the association has collected in oash the snm of (5243.25. Nearly three thousand dollars of that amonnt was collected as special contri butions to retire bonds on the association building. Fonr (500 bonds and several hundred dollars of accumulated interest were retired daring the year. Daring the year the Ladies’ Auxiliary baB made improvements aod additions at the hall at a cost of (797 30. There are now in tho library 198 volumes, iu the reading room, 41 newspapers and periodicals. During the year there were held 51 men's meetings, 79 sessions of personal workers’ classes, 51 sessions devotional Bible class. Thirty-seven yonng men were personally dealt with, twelve were oonverted. There were held 16 boys' Bible class sessions, 51 boys' Sunday meetings, and 17 boys were oonverted. In the physical department there'were held 342 gymnasium Classes during the year,- during which time the j^nasiM* < ■ was used 4,801 times. In the sooial department there were held two senior receptions, three junior receptions and fonr working boys’ socia bles and suppers. The Young Men's Christian Associa tion never was in a more satisfactory condition as to good work being done than now. There will be needed for ourrent, expenses; for the ooming year the sum of (3,200. Of that amount (I,- 700 will be raised by subscription among the people of Athens and the canvass will be made by members of the board of directors at an early date. The association now has only (4,000 of bonds to meet, (500 every two years and it is believed that the income from the building will in a few years be enongh to take care of all fixed oharges. The current expense fund ran a little short last year and an extra effort will be made this year to augment that fond by Bnbsoription to an amount that will make the association move along with perfect ease financially. Secretary Forbes deserves a great deal of oredit for the excellent condition of the association. He is a careful, com petent, oonseorated, tireless worker. The Ladies’ Auxiliary has been espe cially effective daring the past year. Through the work of that organization two junior rooms have been furnished, a new piano purchased, six dozen chairs added, new matting for parlor and read ing room bought, a hat rack, new rugs, clock, games, book covers, plates and forks and other things famished. There is a movement on foot to pro vide a swimming pool on the basement floor of the Y. M. O. A. building and towards that fand the Ladies’ Auxiliary nave already secured (164.40. Dnring the coming year it is the wish of the directors to make several needed improvements in the way of extra shower baths, better closets, etc., which will be done if the money can be se- onred. A stud; of the work aooompllshed this year by the Y. M. O. A. will conyinoo anyone that it is one of the beat institu tions in the oity and will lead the people of Athens to make generous contribu tions when the canvassing committees approaoh them.
