KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation,
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
lfactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

The Georgia Colony al Washington
Driven 0ut BY The Heat.

Clements Not Looked Upon as Making
Very Hard Fight for the Internal
Revenue Colleetorship Carried on
by Trammen - Some Discomfort
Caused by the Appointments of
Dunlap and Trammell.
Washington, June 22.-The heat of th
past few days has driven many visiting
congressman out of Washington, and the
press at the white house and in the de-
partments is not near so great as il was
some weeks ago. The last fight Of mo-
ment in Georgias affairs was the tilt be
tween Paul Trammell and Mr. Clements
of I-aston for the collectorship, and that
was so tame that Mr.. Clements failed to
show up and let people know who he was
and where he was at"
The appointment of Mr.. Dun
lap for marshal bred some
discomfort in Georgia circles here,
ment of Paul Trammell as col
lector has not abated this feeling
The working men in the party are willing
TO cOncede that these successful gentle
men are good democrats, but they do not
blind their eyes to the fact that they are
not prominent in the party councils, and
so there are murmurings in the ranks.
The general feeling here is that Frank
Flynt of Griffin should have had the Mar
shalship and but for his unfortunate com
bination with Mr.. Renfroe he would have
secured the office Once pledged to Mr..
Renfroe, Mr. F1ynt refused to desert his
leader, although he knew that he was
throwing his chances to the winds by
sticking to him.
NOTHING NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS.
There is nothing new in department
circles. There is a good bit of talk
among the colonies about the mistake of
bringing such men as Womacl1, Flynt,
Sterling Roberts and other workers to
Washington at this juncture and leaving
the party rather helpless in the several
sections at home. 1t is believed that it
would have been better politics to have
provided for these active political spirits
in Georgia. so that they would have been
available in emergencies that may here
after arise.
Hon. David J. Bailey of Griffin, the
newly elected legislative member from
Spalding County, is in Washington to-
night and Frank Flynt is steering him a
round town. Mr.. Bailey is a fine young
man, full of vitality and good fellowship
and his countypeople conferred deserved
compliment when they elected him to re-
present them at thes state capital. 1t may
not be amiss to state in this connection
that Mr., Bailey will soon be married to
Miss TIME, a daughter of Hon n j.
Hammond of Atlanta, and that this pros
pectiye union is subjecting the young
statesman to vast amount of pleasant
consideration at the hands of his friends,

READINGS PLAN FAILS.
The Board of Managers Release
Those Who Went In From all
Obligation

Phila., June 22.-President Harris, of
the Phila., and Reading Railroad this
afternoon issued statement to the secu-
rity holders Which in part, is as follows.
The Board of managers regret to announce
that the plan of readjustment of May o. 1898
has failed to receive the assent of the holders
of the requisite number of shares and obliga-
tions of the Company. The total assents
to the plan of readiustment required were
as follows 4S0,424 shares of stock and
Sal 1927 500 general mortgage bonds, and
the total assents received were All, 21S
shares of stock and S31 ,356, 900 mortgage
bonds. By the terms of the plan, it was
provided that if the assent of the requisite
number (including over ninety per cent.
of the general mortgage bonds and sixty
per cent. of the shares) should not be
secured by the twenty-first of June,
subscribers to the proposed issue
of Collateral trust bonds and general
mortgage coupon trust certificates would
be released. Subscriptions were made
upon this condition, and it is not possible
at the present time to have such subscrip-
tions renewed, or extended. The plan
must now be abandoned, and subscriptions
released. II is possible that many friends
of the company in this city and New
York, who have united in asking that
the holders of outstanding shares and
securities should be given till after the
LIST of July, when general mortgage in
terest will mature, may be correct in
thinking that the requisite number of
assents would thereby be secured, but
new subscriptions to the proposed issues
of collateral trust bonds and coupon trust
certificates would also be required, and
this cannot now be made up.
The managers adopted a resolution re-
leasing subscribers to the proposed issue
of collateral trust bonds and of the general
mortgage coupons trust certificates, and
also discharging from all liability the
general mortgage boudholders and share
olders who have assented to the planE

AN ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT.
Well Located Real Estate.

On the northwest corner of Jones and JEFF
ferson streets there is a 2-story wooden resi-
dence with sufficient vacant ground on JEFF
ferson street to build another house.
This corner house could, at a small outlay,
be converted into store, with living rooms
attached and above and would prove an ex.
cellent stand for business.
On Jones street, west of the above, is a g.
story brick house, with a large yard in the
rear, and sufficient vacant space on the east
to build another house. The frontage on
Jones street is eighty feet.
This valuable property, consisting OF the
above described residences, small store and
the large lot can be bought at a low price for
cash, or If a small cash payment be made the
balance can be arranged for through loan

A sharp recovery in sterling exchange put

payment of the July interest on the

little or no effect. The failure of the
Reading plan of readiu7tment, cutting of

heavy demand from that state for currency
