How to Clean Clothes.
A saturated solution of borax
and water, rubbed on with a
sponge, followed by clear water,
will remove glaze, the result of
wear, from clothes. Borax is one
of the best things for the removal
of grease spots from woolen
goods, A cleaning mixture of
which it forms an important, part
is made by dissolving one ounce
of powdered borax in one quart of
boiling water, and setting it aside
to cool. When quite cold add one
ounce of spirits of camphor and
it is ready for use. For some
cleaning purposes the materials
are commonplace articles to be
found in every household. A cut
raw potato is a good cleaner when
you get mud stains on your black
dress. The mud should be left to
dry before any attempt is made to
remove it. Brush it off thorough¬
ly after it has dried, and then if
any stains remain rub the cut sur¬
face of the raw potato over the
spots. To remove grease ’ spots
from silk moisten the grease spots
with chloroform and rub with a
cloth till dry.

They Took in The Fair.
Some of the Cuthbert and Ran¬
dolph county people who took in
the street fair in Eufaula last
week will long retain a
recollection of that visit, Pick-
pockets were there in abundance
and the visitors were relieved of
their pocket books, without their
knowledge or consent, while one
gentleman, after being robbed was
dropped into a well and permitted
to remain there all night, in about
seven feet of water. These gentle¬
men are now wiser, though poorer,
and will probably give street fail-
crowds a wide berth in future.—

COULD NOT KILL ELEPHANT.
Powerful Electric Current Only Tickles
Big Beast.
A Buffalo, N. Y. Dispatch says
that harnessed with electrodes and
other apparatus, Jumbo II, the
vicious man-killing elephant,
stood in the middle of the Stand-
ium at the exposition grounds, at
sundown Saturday, and gave
world a practical demonstration
that an elephant can take
volts of electricity with apparent
unconcern.
When the switch that was sup¬
posed to turn a death flood of
electricity into the elephant’s
body was turned on Jumbo II
himself merely threw a trunkful
of dirt over his back and .refused
to die. If the electricity current
reached his nerves at all he did
not express a bit of annoyance.
Electric wires had been run
from the exposition power house
to what was to be Jumbo’s death
platform, and when the signal
was given 2,200 volts were turned
on. It merely tickled the beast.
After the unsuccessful attempt to
kill him, Jumbo was unhitched
from his harness and taken back
to bis home in the midway.
Explanations made by the elec¬
tricians for the failure were that
Jumbo’s hide had the resistance
of rubber and that this formed a
non-conductor impervious to elec¬
tricity.
Jumbo’s death was to have been
spectacular. The event was to
have occurred at 3 o’clock, and
several thousands had by that
time shown their willingness to
pay an admission fee of 50 cents
each to see the sight.
Influence was finally brought to
bear by Wilson S. Bissel, Mayor
Biehl and others to omit the pub¬
lic feature. It was then announc¬
ed that the sentence of death
wculd be carried out at sundown
with no witnesses. The elephant
was chained to a plank platform.
Electrodes the size of a large
sponge were placed behind his ears
and at the end of his spinal col¬
umn, The shocks only tickled
him.
Negro Killed at DeWitt.
Mr. G. W. Bacon, of DeWitt,
Ga., shot and killed a negro
Alonzo Anderson at DeWitt last
Friday. The negro was drinking
and had fired his pistol in the air
near Mrs. Bacon and frightened
her considerably. Mr. Bacon
made an effort to arrest the negro
who resisted, when he was killed
Mr. Bacon. The grand jury
completely exhonorated Mr. Bacon

Cupid Charters Telephone Line From Bow*
don to Carrollton.
Carrollton, Ga., Nov. 213.—The
second wedding ceremony over
that telephone line from Bowdon
to Carrollton this year was per-
formed from this office this morn-
ing. C. W. McDonald and Miss
E. V. Graben, an eloping couple
from over the line of Alabama,
reached Bowdon early this morn¬
ing and got the telephone operator
there to ’phone the operator here
to get them a marriage license and
a justice of the peace to perform
the ceremony over the telephone.
In a few minutes the license
had been procured and the cere¬
mony was pronounced by Justice
J. T. Norman, of this place.
Witnesses at various ’phones
heard the cermony performed.
Si Otis.
The kidnapping of Miss Stone
is evidence that our work in the
benighted east is having some ef¬
fect. The next thing we know the
dough-faced rascals will be mak¬
ing wooden nutmegs, putting sand
in sugar and making leaf lard out
of glue and beef tallow. ✓
It is claimed that King Edward
of England is dying with throat
trouble caused by intermarriage
in the same family. I don’t un¬
derstand this. Adam’s children
all married one another, except
Cain, who married a beast, and
their children, grand and great
grand-children lived to be nine
hundred years old. Methuselah,
for instance, never began to sport
the girls until he was 185 years
old.—Si Otis in Cuthbert Leader.
Work Suspended.
We learn the contractors who
have been at work on the grading
for the Gr., F. & A. road, near
Grubbs, have been ordered to sus¬
pend work for ten days. This act
of the official has caused much
conjecture as to whether it means
the abandonment of the work al¬
together. In the last issus of the
Bainbridge Democrat a call is
made for a meeting f. of the stock-
, holders , , of , the road to be . held . .. .
m
that city on tho ,. ...... oOth«> ’ to elect .
, v , .
crease the capital stock.” It is
probable that after the meeting
we will know whether or not the
extension wili be completed.—

NUMBER 49.
A BRAVE OFFICER.
Single-Handed Lieut. Van Schaick Charges
Company of Insurgents.
Manila, Nov. 9.—Second Lieu*
tenant V an Schaick, of the Fourth
infantry, while scouting with a
few men of that regi nent, met
160 insurgents, who had attacked
and sacked the lmmlet of Siaraca,
near Cavite. Upon seeing the
Filipinos Van Schaick ordered his
men to charge them.
The command was obeyed and
Van Schaick, being mounted,
reached the insurgents 60 yards in
advance of his men. He killed
three of them with his revolver.
An insurgent fired his rifle point
blank at Van Schaick at four
paces, hut missed. Lieutenant
Van Schaick was then knocked
from his horse. He jumped to his
feet and engaged in a hand-tor
hand conflict with the enemy, us-
ing the butt of his revolver, He
sustained two severe wounds, one
of which nearly severed his wrist.
At this point the lieutenant’s men
arrived, rescued him and put the
insurgents to flight. Van Schaick
is in the military hospital and is
doing well.
He has already been recom¬
mended for a medal of honor for
bravery in a previous engagement.
Judge Sheffield and Blind Tigers.
Twelve blind tigers were con¬
victed in Randolph superior court
last week, and in noting their
conviction the Cuthbert Leader
says:
Judge Sheffield “set the hair”
on blind tigers. Twelve have been
convicted and sentenced, Those
who pleaded guilty got ten months
in the chaingang, and those who
didn’t were sentenced to twelve
months on the gang and four
months in jail. The judge allow¬
ed only one—an old man-—to pay
a fine. All of these are negroes,,
and among them are a Baptist
preacher and a Methodist stew¬
ard.
