will not honor requisition until the dis
posal of the charges resting against the

NEWS yesterday morning, democratic
mass meeting" was called at st. Andrews
Hall at o'clock last evening, ''for the
purpose of presenting a ticket for Mayor
and Aldermen at the approaching munich
pal election" At that hour there were
but few present, and there was some talk
of adjournment, as the prospect for a
meeting seemed very slim. some time
after $50 O'Clock. however, the crow: that
had been in attendance on the meeting at
the Theatre commenced TO pour in, and
the hail was soon filled to its capacity.
About S:45 o'clock the meeting was
called to order and a gentleman in the au-
dieace nominated Mr.. George A. Hudson
for Chairman, and the organization was
Pollard as Secretary.
The Chairman then announced that the
meeting was ready for business.
Mr.. Thomas McNish arose, and moved
that Hon. Rufus L. Lester be declared the
nominee of the meeting as it's candidate
for Mayor, which was seconded amid
much applause. The Chair at first de-
cided that the motion was not in order,
but in a second recalled bis decision,
when the motion was put before the meet

No action was taken upon the question
of Aldermen, the meeting evidently being

The World Moyes-SlIill and Science
Triumphant.

Our reporter relates the following re-
marKahle experience of one of our most
reliable and substantial merchants, Dea-
con Stephen G, Mason. Mr.. Mason says
that from 1860 to 1880 he suffered terribly
from frequent very severe attacks of In
fiammatory Rheumatism. The last attack
in the winter of 20 and 80 was SO severe
as to render him unable to take step in
four months. His physicians thought that
one side of him was paralyzed, and both
knees became so stiff that he could not bend
them. The doctors pronounced his case
incurable, leaving him in terrible cOndi-
ton. He was then induced to try Hunts
Remedy, by a medical friend, who told
him that his whole sickness and trouble
arose from kidney disease, and convinced
Mr.. Mason that such was the case, and
after taking it six weeks was entirely
cured, and is now in such excellent physi-
cal condition that neither damp weather
nor wet feet affect him disagreeably.
Mr.. Mason says that his cure is COM
plete, as it is more than two years since
he has had the disease. II attribute my
most remarkable cure solely to Hunts
Remedy, the Infallible Kidney and Liver
Medicine says Mr.. Observation-Disclosures

An Odd Customer.

Several days ago ii will Ire remembered,
Harrington Williams presented himself
before the Governor and said he wanted
10 go to Jail for protection. He said that
he was suspected of having burned the
town of Millen and was afraid to be taken
back. He protested his innocence, but
feared that if he was taken back to Mil
len he would be lynched. He was sent to
Fulton county Jail, and Governor Ste
phens opened correspondence with
the authorities of Millen. 1t now
appears that Williams is probably of
weak mind, and has been made almost
crazy from fear. Nobody at Millen
suspected him. So great was his fear. of
arrest while passing through Augusta
that he rode out short distance 10 one OF
the towns on the Georgia Railroad, and
reaching there just in time to board
train, threw the bride reins over a gate
post, and shouted to the people III the
house to take care of his mule until he
called for him. He then boarded the train
and came to Atlanta. Governor stephens
has sent Mr.. Parker to Augusta to look
after the mule and collect facts concern
ing Williams.-Atldntd Constitution.

UnnrincinIed Dealings.

The popularity and worldwide fame Of
Simmons Liver Regulator has induced UNI
principled parties to place spurious COM
pounds called by some garbled part of our
title or name in the market. A majority
of these enterprises have died a natural
death, but others are periodically cropping
out. TO those who have not vet learned
the great worth of the Regulator this word
of caution is necessary. To the invalid it
may be question of life and death. Ask
for Simmons Liver Regulator, and look
for the signature of j. II. Zeilin Co.,
and the large red z on white wrapper.
