in discussing plan to bestow suffrage on
every woman owning three hundred dol
lars worth of property, her vote to be
cast by written proxy by some male
relative. The plan developed wonderful
strength, and was referred to the Fran

say this plan, coupled with the Austria.

the suffrage problem, and believe the
Convention will adopt it now. 1t has

The cave near Joseph Dees' in Hamil-
ton County, known as the Devils Den,
has ever been mystery. Nothing now
living has ever explored its depths, and
many curious tales are told in conuec-
ton with it. The editor of the Jasper
News has gone to it at least halfa dozen
times, with the express purpose Of ex-
ploring it, but, upon reaching its open
ing, deep down in a dark ravine, over.
shadowed by tall pines and spreading
oaks, feeling the cold, chilly current Of
air that is peculiar to the place, listening
to the dripping waters echoing in the
cavernous depths, which seem ready
to give way and fall, and the
impenetrable darkness of the cavern, all
crmbined, have never failed to produce a
feeling of awe, that would soon ripen
into fear, and cause him to get away
from the place faster than he went to it.
1t is related that in the early history
of the country old Uncle Billy Baasett
once happened to pass that way at a late
hour in the night. It was brilliantly
lighted up, and the sound of music and
revelry were heard therein. He, know.
ing nothing of the cave, joyfully suppos
ed that he was approaching some house
where he could obtain rest for the night,
followed its course till upon turning an
angle of rock he came full upon the
mouth of the cavern, an opening some
twelve feet high and twenty wide. He
took Que look at the scene within, aud
incontinently fed from the spot with the
speed ola frightened deer. He aaid that
on a high ledge of rock four or FIVE
uncouth looking characters we're clus
tered, making music on instruments that
be was unacquainted with, while on the
floor any number of naked yellow devils
seven feet high were dancing with might
and main. Ever since that time it has
been called the Devils Den
Another story is that during the war it
was occupied as refuge and hiding
place for deserters. One of them one
day concluded that, to pass away the
time which was hanging 30 heavily on
his hands, he would explore the cave
and see what it contained. Up to this
time its occupants had never gone thirty
or forty yards into it. So, procuring a
good torch and accompanied by COM
panion, he set out, Or rather in, on a
voyage of discovery. At distance of
seventy or eighty yards they came across
hundreds of skeletons of human beings,
which so terrified them that they quit the
cave entirely, preferring a life in the
army to an abode with the dead in that
lonely cavern.-F2orida Times Union.

idea. They are raising q big fuss because
the national banks are not allowed to
lend money on farm mortgages and I
hope they will have that Law repealed,
for it is of no consequence. No bank is
fool enough to lend money on mortgage.
Will Howard is big banker in our town
"a private banker-and he Is not prohib.
tied but I'll bet $40 he hasn't got a
mortgage in his vault. Banks lend money
on business integrity with good endor-
ser or collateral that can be converted
into money in thirty days. It takes 1S
months to foreclose a farm mortgage, and
if the farmer dies it takes year
longer.
George Tluit, of Troup County, has
made grand success at farming. The
State Alliance visited his farm the other
day and George said he began with
nothing since the war and has made all
that he has got at farming, and that
economy and diligence and constant care
and watchfulness will do more for the
farmer than all the Legislation that can be
devised. You can pick out fardiers here
and there in every County who have by
hard work got ahead and prospered while
their neighbors have been waiting on the
Lord or luck or on the politicians. There
isn't country upon earth where the far
mer is SO surely rewarded for his industry
as he is here. They had big camp
meeting up at Pine Log last week, and
just such q spread of good things as the
farmers took there every day was never
aeen before. Such wealth of chickens
and chicken pies, and roast pig and NUT
ton, and kid, and potatoes and pies and
cakes and jellies and pickles and wines,
and all were home raised and homemade.
Will the good Lord make US all thankful
for what We have got and incline our
hearts to be thankful.

Deafness Can't he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi'
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
ian tube. When this tube gets iDtlamed
you have rumbliDg sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, aud unless the lu-
hammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.

a Warming.

About six years ago, Eugene w. Beck,
living at Clayton, Rabun Co., Ga, killed
his wife and sister-in-law, in cold blood.
BE early formed the habit of strong drink
often to excess-which grew upon him
as he became older. Notwithstanding
this habit, he was a wholesouled, gener-
ous man, kind, loving husband and
father, respected by all who knew him.
His relations with his family were never
marred by quarrels or harsh words. In
personal appearance, we are told, he was
a magnificent specimen of manhood.
While under the influence of whiskey,
crazed by 8 long debauch, he placed q
revolver at bis wife's head end instantly
killed her. Turning to bis sister-in.law,
who was also present, he fred on her,
causing her death in few days.
He WAS tried and found guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree, but recommended
to the mercy of the court, who finally
sentenced him to imprisonment for life,
in the coal mines of Dade County, Ga.
Until sickness overlook him, he worked
underground, in the dismal light of a
minors lamp. he was taken sick some
time ago, and finally died on the 18th Of
last May.
Before his death, he wrote the follow.
ing pathetic letter to his old friend,
Terrell Mozeley and wife. His wife's
name was CELIA !" "Addie" WAS his
sister-in.law, and "Callie" was his
friends wife.

Tetanus may be defined to be painful
and fatal disease characterized by tetanic,
that is, spaemodic, contrsctions of certain
muscles, or groups of muscles. AS the
mouth is Kept fairly closed at certain
stages by the spasms of the muscles Of
the jaws the disease is commonly called
lockjaw. Cases of tetanus are frequently
met with in the human family as we'll as
in domestic animals. Of domestic ami.
mails horses and mules are the most fre-
quent sufferers, Among these animals
cases are of very frequent occurrence.
In cattle and the smaller animals the
disease is more rarely met with. This
disease is one of the oldest and, on
account of its distressing symptoms and
its fatal termination, one of the most
dreaded. It occurs more in warm than
in temperate or cold countries, and in all
countries it is more frequent in summer
than in winter. In this State it is much
oftener met with than in the Northern
States The reason for this will be motto.

Gentlemen: Although have written
on a medical subject it has not been my
object to prepare 8 paper for professional
men alone, but to present the subject in
such way that the stock owner may
obtain some facts which will enable him
to prevent to great extent the loss which
occurs from tetanus, or, as it is usually
called, lockjaw. I have chosen this sub.
ject for two reasons. First, on account
of its frequent occurrence and great
fatality in our most valuable animals
horses and mules-snd, second, from the
fact that it can usually be prevented.

Buyers Uncertain as to Location of Ter
minals-Laughable Letter from East.
TACOMA, Sept 15.--Real estate brokers
complain Of light business, the inactivity
spreading pretty uniformly over the entire
market, including acreage property as well
as city lots. Operators attribute the de-
preston somewhat to the uncertainty at
tending the location of the Union Pacific
terminals. They claim that letters
OF inquiry from Eastern capitalists. as we'll
as office talk, manifest q strong disposition
to operate whenever a new and wider
field will be opened up by the per-
manent location of their terminals. Sew
eral new streets are being opened at the
north end, and quite good deal of build
ing Is going on well cut toward
the smeter. Brokers anticipate
large trade the coming winter.
There is an active demand for rooms. both
for business and dwellings,, and rents
continue unchanged. The extension of
stree car lines westward will stimulate
building considerably in that direction.
There is urgent demand for cheaper
houses for the working class, and it is
rnmored that two or three syndicates are
forming to build houses of this class. LAST
weeks sales amounted to $S5,373 O8. The
grand total since January is $lO.542. $40. Al.
nearly two millions more than for the
same period last year.
A real estate firm in this city received a
letter two days ago from another real estate
firm in the state of New York. which is a
laughable exposition of the ignorance of its
writer's as regards this wonderful North
western country. The observation-disclosures
