IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR HIN.
Glen Smith Of Daisy Arrested on a
Charge Of Libeling v. F. Carter.

The Editor Of the Tattnan County Pop
uIist Paper Says Smith Wrote Him a
Postal on Which He Stated He Did Not
Like His Color-The District Attorney
Consulted and Smith Arrested - He
viii Have a Preliminary Trial Before
Commissioner Beckett To-day.
The preliminary trial of Glen Smith or
+. G. smith Of Daisy, Tattnal county
which will take place to-day before United
States Commissioner Isaac Beckett, will
no doubt be Of much interest in view Of
the fact that it will be rather a test case
as to what constitutes libelous or sour
riloUs matter when sent through the
United States mails.
Smith was arrested by Deputy Marshal
Michael of the United States court, but
was allowed to go back to his
home yesterday on account of
the death Of his brother, whose
noon. While Smith has just been arrested
the affidavit on which the warrant was is
sued was sworn to about q month ago by
William +. Carter, editor of the populist
paper of Tatnal county known as the
Broad Axe.
Mr.. Carter, who is weH-known here,
made an affidavit to the effect that Smith
had used the mails for the purpose of in
sultng him by sending him a lbelous and
scurrilous postal card to the following
effect:
Daisy Ga, Aug. 25, 1894 Carter: 7
don't wish to read no such dirty paper
like the Broad Axe ] would not care so
much about the paper, but the color OF
the editor is too much for me.
f. N Todd"
Carter charges that while the name
Todd was signed to the postal it was writ
ten by Smith and he made an affidavit to
that effect Carter is a dark skinned white
man, his complexion naturally being tan
ned probably from his residence in the
country, and he seemed sensitive about
such card being sent him, as he con
sidered it an insult.
The commissioner was in doubt when
the affidavit was made as to whether the
postal card was a violation Of the United
States statutes which prohibit the send
ing through the mails of lbelous or sour
rilous matter calculated to injure the
character of another. Carter, however
looked on 1t in this light and the commits
sioner in order to satisfy himself about
the matter before issuing the warrant for
the arrest of Smith, wrote the district at
torney Maj. w. T. Gary the facts in the
case. Maj. Gary replied that he thought
such a communication would come under
the meaning Of the statute and he wrote
the commissioner to make a test case of
the matter.
Accordingly the warrant was issued
and the arrest followed. The case was
worked up by the postoffice inspector Mr.
j. W. Bulla, who will prosecute it to-day
for the government. The case is a pc
culiar one and it's outcome will no doubt
be watched with interest.

Up That Problem This Afternoon,

this afternoon for the purpose of discus
sing the question of roads and road inn

for a gang Of twenty-five men to 60 to
work on the county roads, the men to be
taken from the county chain-gang. A res

time providing for a special meeting OF

Improvements. The matter Of putting the
gang to work was left in the hands Of

ken no action with regard to putting out
the gang, probably desiring TO hear the

The Real Demon of the Marsh

Is not spcok. but reality. 1t is neither
''bogie'' nor a ''kelpie," nor any other OF
those spirits which the credulous have
supposed TO haunt the banks of rivers
and streams after dusk. It's name is
malaria. and though invisible. it is very
terrible and tenacious when it seizes you.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters drives it
away, nor will it attack those whose sys-
tens are fortified with the great medi-
cinal defensive agent. The miasmatic
mists of early morning, the vapors ex-
hailed at eventide may be safely breathed
by those protected by the bitters. In the
tropics where every form of malarial dis
ease threatens the soiourner, and is par
ticularly virulent when developed, the
bitters is the best reliance of the inhab-
liant. For dyspepsia, liver complaint,
lack of vigor, appetite and sleep; for
rheumatism and nervousness the bitters
are sure and safe remedy.

Ancient Salnds.

The lettuce was deemed by the ancients
the food of the dead, because when
Adonis, the beloved of Venus, was NOR
tally wounded by a wild boar, the weep
ing goddess laid him upon a bed of soft
and tender lettuces, whose milky juice
possesses soothing and narcotic qualities.
Lettuces were eaten by the ancients at
the close of their repasts, as from their
cooling qualities they were considered
antidotes to the heating effects OF wine.
The bitter herbs which the Jews ate at
the Passover were wild lettuce, succory,
tansy, chamomile and dent-de-lion, and
this same race are the inventors of the
salad compound of oil. vinegar, sugar,
salt and mustard to render the bitter
herbs palatable.
The Irish, two centuries ago, made
their salads of sorrel, wood sorrel and
beet chopped with vinegar, beer and a
little sugar. but no oil, salt nor mustard.
Readers OF classic history will remem ber
how lettuce caused the cruel death OF
