A Lady Tells Of Almost Miraculous Re.
cOvery-Read.

To the Editor Of The Journal:
wish to tell the people of Atlanta some
thing through your columns. I have sis
ter who lives in Birmingham, Ala, who has
been afflicted with what many physicians
termed "internal tumor." One physician
said it was enlargement of the liver" She
came to Atlanta for treatment by special
list after failing to be benefited in Birming-
ham, two months treatment gave her
only temporary relief. She returned again
to the same treatment last year, and grew
worse until she became bed-ridden. When
she had despaired of ever finding relief she
at my suggestion began the use of Kings
Royal Germetuer. She began to improve at
once. In one week she was sleeping sound
ly, when she had not had q nights undis-
turbcd rest in two years. She began to 60
about at once and continue to steadily I'm
prove. In six weeks she was so far relieved
as to be able to return home, feeling we'll,
with no swelling or evidence Of tnmor OF
enlarged liver had letter from her the
day before yesterday and she is evidently
we'll
My confidence in Germetuer was caused
by its curing me of catarrh. My sister,
Mrs. ". A. Dobey, of Birmingham, Ala,
will verify the above statement, and my
neishbors here in Atlanta will certify to as
much as came under their observation.
chcerfUlly give my testimony, hoping that
the afflicted ones may be induced to try a
remedy which has proven signal blessing
to myself and my sister.

There is more political discussion
this year than ever before in an "of
year." Some are trying to organize
a third party, while others are advo-
eating certain measures to be adopt
ed by their respective parties As to
the formation of a third party in
South Carolina, we think it would be
suicidal to the best interests of the
people, and death blow to white su
premacy in tie State. There is no ne
cessity for any one to desert the DEN
ocratic party on account of the sub.
treasury scheme or any other scheme.
Those that favor the sub-treasury can
work for its success within the ranks
OF the party, and if they have ma
iority their point viii be gained, and
the party remain intact. We can
not afford to allow any set of men
or even certain measures to divide
Us, for there is an enemy lurking near
ready to leap into any breach that
may come.

ATTEMPTED Arson.

Last Friday afternoon while the
family of Mr.. r. A. Ridgill were in
their residence, their attention was
attracted by smoke issuing from the
barn. They all ran out and discov-
cred the barn to have been set on fire,
and while they were working to ex-
tiuguish the flames negro boy by
the name of Cuff Mcleod entered the
residence, and stole two suits OF
clothes and a coat belonging to Mr..
Charley Ridgill. There is no doubt
that the rascal set the fire to get the
family to leave the house so that be
could succeed in his felonious inten-
ton.
Cuff Mcleod is short, thick set,
black negro, and has been in the en-
plov of Mr.. S. C. Williams for num-
ber of years
Sheriff Bradham is very anxious to

win capture and deliver him to the

Tillman's Record as Governor.
lNeubary Obsaver.l

Tillman has made good governor.
His enemies even will admit that He
has done nothing to shake the conf
dence of the people in his adminlstra-
ton, unless it be the acceptance OF
free passes over railroads. In this he
has done 10 more than was done by
his predecessors-all good and hon
orable men. We do not justify it,
but do say that if no more substan-
tial objection than this can be found
against him be is entitled to a second
term, and the farmers who put him in
ought to see to it that he has at least
fair play, and should not lay them
selves open to the charge OF inconsis-
tency and fckleness by so soon turn
ing their backs upon him without ad-
equate cause. II they do, they may
expect to be TOLD over and over again
by the Ants, ":I told you So" Es-
pecially should the farmers everlast-
ingly squelch those coat-tail swingers
of 1890, who are turning against Till
man in 1891 because they think his
star is waning.
