HARRY HILL CONVICTED.
A New Trial Expected, and When 1t Comes
the Richest Part OF the Great
Scandal Will Come Out.

An Atlanta special says:
After being out about one hour the
jury in the Harry Hill case returned a
verdict of guilty.
There was an immense throng in the
court house when the verdict was an
nouuced, but the only demonstration
was of surprise, the crowd whispering in
significant chorus as it left the court
room. The almost universal opinion
during the day was that Hill would be
acquitted.
Hills attorneys will move for new
trial, and it is predicted that the next
fight will be to finish, without any
quarter on either side, as Hills family
will 90 to the last ditch to save him
from felon's stripes.
Another feature that will grow out of
the case will be the prosecution of John
w. Echols for perjury. The lawyers
for Hill have got it in for EchOls, and
will not let up on him until they have
their satisfaction.

AET DAWSON BUILD A MILL.

The splendid showing made by south
1yn cotton manufactures during the past
year, when every other industry was de-
pressed, means much to the south. All
of these manufactures paid per cent in
dividends, ard many as much as ~ per
cent. This fact is attracting the atten-
ton of capitalists. And there are other
facts that point to the souUh'S superiori-
.ty over New Eng and as cotton manu-
featuring centre. The cotton is close at
hand AMI the freight is saved. Winter
is of short duration in the south, and
much is saved in heating the factories.
The days are longer on an average and
the factories are run nearly altogether
by daylight, tn US making large saving
in the cost of lighting, 1t is natural to
suppose that The climate in which cotton
grows would prove more favorable TO
spinning the yarns, and such is the case.
The climate of the south is dry, and has
other climatic conditions which give the
thread finer texture and cause 1T to be
more easily handled. The climate of
New England is moist and full of cleo
tricity, and the cotton spinners are much
annoyed at the breaking of the thread
and are forced to employ extra work
men TO keep it intact
why not a cotton mill in Dawson?.

All OYER THE GLOBE

I'LL OVER THE GLOBE
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
known. Pills of American manufac-
ture easily lead. Why? Because
they're smaller; the vegetable ex-
tracts are concentrated. There are
many liver pills, yet there must be
reason why DR.. Pierce's Pellets give
the best satisfaction. Probably be-
cause they're sugar-coated, small as
grains of mustard seed, therefore,
easily swallowed. Most of all-they
act In a natural way, and are effec-
tive in result. Then, too, after
they're taken they can't be felt-so
different from the old fashioned
pills, with their gripping and violence.
For Indigestion, pain in stomach,
costiyeness and habitual constipation,
as well as sick and bilious headaches,
these "PelIets " bring such a lasting
c1re, that they can be guaranteed.
Your money is returned, if they do
not give satisfaction.

PIGTAIL DECORATIONS.
Greatest Honor, That. the Sultan CGnfers
Upon HIS Wives.

Greatest Honor, That the Sultan CGnfers
Upon HIS wivos.
1t is only on rare and special ,occa-
sions that ladies are permitted to visit
the suItan's harem; it is considered q
very great privilege, and few beneath
the rank of an ambassadress can ever
aspire to it.
There dre great number of ladies
in the harem, some of them being very
beautiful. Each has her own allow
ance for dress and other expenses, and
the young and pretty worcn generally
get all their, clothes from Paris,
though many are still content with
the old-fashioned Turkish dress. which
is not unlike our own tea gowns.
They wear no wells in the house, and
they usually wear their hair in short
loose curls, upon which is often worn
n smart little togue ornamented with
jewels or a white aigrette.
The great distinction which they all
covet is the decoration Of "the three
tails" which is only conferred on the
greatest ladies of the. palace or some
special favorite. These tails are COM
posed of plated hair, not unlike the
Chinese pigtail, though shorter, as it
only reaches q little below the waist.
To have even one of these tails is a
great honor, while the bestowal of all
three will go far to make the recipient
a proud and happy woman for life.

THE PAWNING HABIT.
Once Contracted 1t Is Difficult to Over

Once Contracted 1t Is Difficult to Over
"Pawnbrol1ing is habit" said one
who sits under the shadow of the three
balls to a Buffalo Express representa-
tive. Yes, mostly habit, The patent
medicine habit is nothing to it. After
anybody has hung up something with
me few times he's pretty sure to be-
come a regular customer. He does
business with me just like cloclxworle
after that; always goes broke just SO
long before pay day. ..
1.-Two of the best people have are
husband and wife, and neither knows
that the other ever heard of such q
thing as hooking a watch. 1 know
that from the way they acted, and I
was pretty much surprised one day
when the woman brought in the pawn
ticket for her husbands watch. She
didn't look as if any Ything unusual had
happened, and sized up the, situation
and gave her her own watch instead.
That was what she wanted. Next day
the husband came in with the ticket
for his wife's watch. 1 gave him his
own and he never knew the difference.
You see they had hidden their tickets
in the same place. They have brought
the watches around promptly ever
since, which they wouldn't have done
by any manner of means if hadn't had
my wits about me-, Now, one of those
church pawnbrolkers down in New
YcrlS wouldn't have known enough to
do that, and would have lost two good
customers as we'll as made trouble in
an estimable family. 1t takes brains
to run my business"

An Invlnoibie Regiment.

Napoleon expended during the wars
of the consulate and the empire one
million seven hundred thousand men.
Visiting the battlefield Of ,Magdcburg,
and struck by the number of dead
which lay around some of his soldiers,
he said to Count Rapp: "What is the
regiment that has fought SO well?"
and upon, the reply: "The Thirty-sec-
ond," stopped and said, meditatiyely:
"How does it still survivor 1 have
killed SO much of that regiment, in
Italy, in Egypt and everywhere, that
there ought to be no more of it left"

The Terrible Ship Worm.

The testudo navalis, or ship worm,
has caused the loss of more vessels
than were ever destroyed in war. In
tropical countries this worm penetrates
the timber of vessels and cats away the
wood until there is only a shell left,
which will crumble at q slight blow.
Large beams, apparently sound, after
removal from vessels after the outside
crust has been broken have been pulled
to pieces blythe fingers. During tho
last century an East Indiaman, docked
in London, crumbled to pieces when
the supports were placed underneath
and the water removed.
