Let the Good Work Go On.

Mr.. EDITOR: Please allow me
space in your valuable paper for a
few thoughts from Sophia.
First, the anti-Tlllman men.have
found the right name for their lit
tie crowd when they call them
selves "straightouts." heard one
say that he was one of the
"Straightouts," and the thought
struck me at once that no had
found the right name at last, for
they are straightout of the Demo-
cratic party, and have gone clear
over, clean out of sight of their
old friends and neighbors. l claim
to be Tillman man from the tip
of my toe to the top of my head,
and it gets my dander up when L
ste the Straightouts writing so
many things that have not a par
ticle of truth in them. l have
been watching the Governors for
ten years, and B. r. Tillman is
the only one who has ever done
anything that ever heard of, ex-
cept to pardon one or two old ne
groes outof the penitentiary. All
men who are willing to tell the
truth must say that the present
governor has done many things
that are good for the State, but
these Straightonts and ants won't
admit it. But they had just as
well give up the ghost. They may
talk and they may tattle, but Till
man has the rope and I'd like to
see any of them help themselves.
Itwas very funny to me when l
heard that the twelve delegates
met on the 5th of March in the
court house to try to get the run
ming start on the present admin,
istration. Ha, ha, hal 1t makes
me laugh now to think about it

timey DR.. Irving applied the steth-
oscope to the heart, and DR.. Abbott,
who had been keeping the official
time, felt the pulse. They shook
their heads and stepped back. The
fingers began to move again, and
there was plenty of evidence that
Cotto MAS still alive.
For the fourth time the warden
gave the signal, and for the fourth
time the current was turned off
until the face of the man has
turned a purplish black, and the
exposed part of the right log was
of the same color. This time the
current completed. its work, for
when 1T was. turned off the
physicians found no signs Of life.
DR.. Irving in answer to q question
of the representative of the United
Press, admitted there were
indications of life after the third
shock. The official time shows
that the current was first turned
on at 0:45.20 and that the last
shock was given at 10:4S.03, or, in
other words, it required about
three minutes to kill the
man.
When life had been declared
extinct, two of the keepers
unstrapped the body. 1t was placed
on an autopsy table, which had
been brought in from the adjoin-
ing room. The autopsy was
performed by Drs. Irving and
Abbott. Very few witnesses
remained for the autopsy; most of
them took early trains for their
homes.
Cotto's body was not claimed by
his relatives. 1t will be buried
in quicklime this afternoon.
Cotto's brother and cousin were
here Saturday, but they said they
did not want the body. Their
only anxiety was about $54 which
Cotto had went he was captured
by the police. Electrician Davis
says the voltage at the first contact
was 1880. After that it varied
from 1900 to 1900.

How to Cure a Headache.

In case of the ordinary nervous
headache, from which women suffer
SO much, says an authority, remove
the dress waist, knot the hair
high up on the head, out of the
way, and while leaning over the
basin, place sponge soaked in
hot water, as hot as can be borne,
on the back of the neck. Repeat
this many times, also applying the
sponge behind the ears, and, if
the assertion of the writer is not a
mistaken one, in many cases the
strained muscles and nerves that
have caused 80 much misery will
be felt to relax and smooth
themselves out deliciously, and
very frequently the pain promptly
vanishes in consequence. Every
women knows the aching face and
neck generally brought home from
hard days shopping, or from a
long round of calls and afternoon
teas. She regards with intense
dissatisfaction the heavy lines
drawn around her eyes and mouth
by the long strain on the facial
muscles, and when she must carry
that worn countenance to some
dinner party or evenings
amusement, it robs her of all the
pleasure to be had in it. Cosmetics
are not the cure, nor bromides, or
the many nerve sedatives to be
had at the drug shop, Here,
again, the sponge and hot water
are advised by the writer quoted,

as can possible be berne;s appluaz

Rules for the Care of the Teeth

faithful observance of the fol.
lowing hints on the care of the
teeth is earnestly advised:
Cleanliness is of absolute i'm.
portance in the care of the teeth
and it's neglect cannot be remedied
by dental skill.
Thoroughly cleanse the teeth
each night before retiring and on
rising in the morning. Never neg.
lect the first if you do the last.
The articles necessary to accom-.
plish this are the toothbrush, pick,
and silk or linen floss, together
with good dentrifrice.
The brush, to do it's work we'll
should be given al upward motion
on the lower and downward mo-
tion ON the upper teeth, as we'll al
backward and forward, and nc
portion of any tooth should escape
it's action.
A well trimmed quill pick should
be used, especially after eating.
Children's teeth should be
eleansed daily by some competent
person from the time they begin te
eat solid food.
For tartar, irregularity. decay
discoloration and other specia
conditions consult a competen'
dentist.
Compliance with these sugges
tions not only improve the appear
ance of the teeth, but it vii
diminish the necessity for denta
operations.

Some Bright TIdbits From o

EDITOR ADVERTISER: / have not
seen a letter in your paper from
this section of the county, so l
will write you the latest news
from Morgana. We are all more
than ever delighted with your
paper since it has come out in
new dress. We look eagerly
forward to the coming of Friday as
it is on that day, we are greeted
with the dear old ADVERTISER.
1t seems that the matrimonial
fever is raging in our vicinity
now. Two marriages have taken
place within a week, and more
are likely to follow soon. On Tues
day last at 1 o'clock Mr.. Freeman
Taylor of this neigborhood, and
Mrs. Alice Seekinger, charming
young widow of Augusta, were
happily united in the holy bonds
of wedlock, the Rev. Lansing
Burrows officiating. Refresh
ments having been served they
left Immediately for his home
near Morgana, where they were
given a nice reception at his
mothers.
The next night a party of boys
gave them a grand serenade with
tin pans, plow hoes, bugles and
bells. Now, Mr.. Editor, don't
you know they made a racket
Miss Mary, the lovely AID
accomplished daughter of Mr.. G.
De Almond, was married to Mr..
Frank Rouce at II a. m., 9th
inst. The Rev. CRANKY, Of second
Baptist church, Augusta, was the
officiating minister. The affair
was very quiet, only the members
of the family being present. And
soon another of our young men
will clasp a Georgia jewel as his
"ownest" own. Then there will
be three brides in Shippers,
Georgia.
Mrs. l.. NJ. Grafton, who has
been i'll a long time does not i'm,

to her and we pray that she may
soon be restored to health again.

AN ENCOURAGING LETTER
From Augusta-Tillman Leads
Among the Carolina Tribes
of the Fountain City.

am truly glad to see the dear
old ADVERTISER in shape again,
and on the right track in the po-
litical campaign, which bids to be
very exciting, and perhaps very
alarming to the "outs," but the
only hope | see for them is to grin
and endure it, as they will have to
do. There are great many Caro-
linians in Augusta, as you know,
but am near the railroad cross
ing, and see representative men
every day from all parts of Caro-
liEa. and You can put it down
that the "outs" amt in it.
Although 1 heard an anti-Tillman.
ite say the other day that electing
Tillman Governor made the price
of cotton 60 down, 1 am of
opinion that there is not many
of his kind that believe as he does.
If Georgia Carolina votes could be
considered as a fair index of the
votes in Carolina, you can put
Tillman way up in &c" and "shep"
and his crowd way down in "Z."

FOUR APPLICATIONS OF THE CUR

TO Shock the Life Out of q MUIR
I derer-A Horrible and
Sickening Scene.

srNG SING, March 2S.-At 10:45
o'clock this morning jeremiah
Cotto, the murderer of Louis
Frankeloso, husband of his para
mour, was executed in the electric
chair. This waa the eighth execu-
tion by electricity.
The condemned man took his
place in. the chair without any
signs offailing. Father Mito knelt
in front of the death chair and
continued praying aloud. Cotto
kept his eyes fixed on the man and
continued to repeat the response
while he was being tied in the
chair. Warden Browne suddenly
dropped a handkerchief, and the
EeGecutioner turned a switch, ap-
plying q current of over 1,7OO
volts. Cotto's body stiffened and
the straps made deep impressions
in the skin. The current was
turned off and on four times.
AT the first shock the current was
turned off in thirty-two seconds.
Cotto slowly opened his eyes and
looked at Father Mito, with what
seemed a reproachful expression,
His hands moved, and there was
no doubt in the minds of the wit
nesses that he was not only alive.
but conscious.
{ The signal was again given by
Warden Browne, and once more

which saved the wheat from
damage by August frosts in the
Red river valley last year. His
account of it will show what may
be done in Georgia.
"They have frosts in Minnesota
at the time when wheat is in the
dough-" said he ''and the damage
to the crop is often very great. l
got the idea of protecting grain
in conversation with an old
Swedish farmer, who told me that
crops had been saved in his country
in this way. The frost warnings
were sent out from Washington,
and 1 got the railroad companies
to have the telegram sent to all the
stations in the Red river valley,
which is twenty to twenty-five
miles wide and extends two-thirds
the length of Minnesota, through
part of North Dakota and up into
Manitoba. The country is as level
as a floor and very suitable to the
use of smudges.
"a smudge is a smothered fire.
At the bottom, in the centre, some
dry, combustible material is
placed and set on fire. This is
covered with two or three wagon
loads of dampened straw, or some
material that will make the fire
burn slowly and emit a great
volume of smoke.
"Four smudges on a quarter
section of 100 acres were sufficient
to keep the country covered with
smoke and ward off the frost.
The smoke acts like a cloud in
rejecting back to the earth the
heat lots by radiation. So the
temperature is kept up and frost
prevented.
"This plan might be pursued
in the case of fruit, where the
area to be protected is much
smaller. Pine straw is one of the
best things you could use in
making smudges, and the cost
would be trifiing. With the frost
warnings Mr.. Morrill, will send
out, there will be little trouble
in protecting fruit, unless there
should be some such freeze as we
had last week."

Thinning Fruit.

1t may be that in many localities no
thinning of fruit will be necessary
this year, but in Others, no doubt,
more fruit has set than the trees or
vines ought to carry. tits hardly
possible to thin apples where one
has large orchard, though in
some cases it is done; but one
may thin the fruit ON pear, peach
and cherry trees, and grape vines.
1t is said by many that it will
!. not pay 70 do thiss bEtit will,
and especially by those who have
but a few trees, and wish to raise
good fruit. There will, of course,
be fewer specimens after part
are picked off, but there will be as
much in weight and measure as
though none had been taken off,
and those that remain will be
larger, fairer, better favored, and
if sold will bring more money than
the whole would if they had
been left to grow. There are other
advantages, for good fruit will find
market when poor, small fruit
cannot be sold. If the whole is
left, the tree or vine may be
seriously injured, if not ruined,
in it's attempts to carry too large
a crop.
We have known novices in fruit
growing to leave three or four
times as many bunches Of grapes
on a svine as it ought to carry,
because, as they said, sit seemed
too bad to destroy them," with the
result of not getting a single ripe
grape, and also of nearly or quite
running their vines. Perhaps no
fruit-bearing plant suffers more
from an over crop than the grape,
The thinning of all fruit should
be done in good season--as early
as possible after the fruit has
reached some size, SO as to be able
to tell which it is better to leave
and which to take off. Such q
course will save the tree or vine
somewhat, and the fruit that is
left will be all the better. Nc
exact rule can be laid down fol
the doing of his work; it must be
a matter of judgment. If the tree
or vine is young, perhaps bearing
&or the first time, though ii may
pot set very mnch fruit, yet it may
set q good deal more than it ough
to be allowed to ripen. Better
have one good pear or bunch o.
grapes than three or four none O
which are eatable. Too mucf
work! Yes, it is a good deal OF
work; but what of that if it only
pays? If any one has any doubts
on this latter point, lot him try i
for himself and note results. W.
knew a careful cultivator of tE'
pear VINO not only thinned hi
fruit, bat thinned his trees and
kept the new wood pinched bacl
as it came oRt, as carefully as HI
did his cape vines, so righ
brances with spurs all up anc
down upon which he allowed onl,
proper number of the faires
specimens to grow.
He alway obtained very hisl
price for his fruit. and alway
found ready market. While Al
may not be able to do as this NAL
did, it shows what may be don
with care. Try thinning, and Sc
