| was working in the silver mines Of New
Mexico, that my troubles began.
From simple indigestion my m&lady de.
veloped into chronic inability to take any
substantial food, and at times was pros
trated by spells of heart palpitation. On
the 18th of April, 1893, suddenly col
lapsed, and for days was unconscious,

On September LIST l weighed but 20 pounds

and just above the elbow of each there was
large irregular stain as large as the palm
of the hand and of purple color, the space
covered by the mark was sunken nearly to
the bone. "That," said Mr.. Thomas, "is
what the doctors did by putting morphine
into me.

AN EacLE-EKsD CONTEMPORARY =

The Early County News informs the
world that Captain Hobbs and Mr.. Stew
ems, vice-presidents of the silver league
for the second district, if not opposed to
the free coinage of silver are inconsistent
in their recent utterances. We are sorry
and we are shocked. We thought these
gentlemen surely knew the meaning OF a
few simple English words, I'd knew what
thew were doing and saying when they
wrote letters fepudiating utterances taat
had been attributed to them5by goldoag
correspondents and renewing their allie
glance to blmetallism. Our Blakely con-
temporary thinks differently, however,
and knocks out our Frightening hopes
by giving us to understand that fog
hangs about what these vice-presidents
said. and that its eagle eye has pierced
ths gloom and discovered thasthey really
didn't know what they wanted to
say. If our voice can reach these
gentlemen we suggest that they throw
up the sponge and not go into a
struggle that must bring only dis
appointment because of their inaoiity to
know and express their position. IL is
hardly worth while to prolong the agony
as long as the Early County News pos
sesses all the power of comprehending
languageg and refuses to let them say
what they INTENDED. = - - - H..

cEoRcynS ADVANCE IN MANUFACTURES

Notwithstanding the slump in proper"
ty vatues, under the measure OF the gold
en- yardstick, Georgia has been rapidly
advancing from an industrial standpoint
of view during the last few years. In
deed, her advancement in manufactures
has been steady for twenty years past.
Twenty years ago the annual output OF
goods manufactured in Georgia was
worth less than 81, 100000; ten years
ago it was $40, 100000; today it is nearly
$75. 100000.
These figures tell their own story. 1t
is one of steady growth for the Empire
State of the South.
And vet there is room for still greater
growth in manufactures in Georgia. This
state still ships annually to the northern
states 500, 100000 wortn of raw products
which are shipped back to her in finish
ed form. and for which she continues TO
pay the freight both ways, besides the
manufacturers profits.
Within another ten years we should
reduce this immense deficiency in the
capacity of our manufactures to handle
our own products at least one half

HENRY WATTERsoN and the other
Kentucky goldbugs who are supporting
the republican candidate for governor
are not larger than the democratic par
ty, and the party ought to say so unmis-
takably. General Wat Hardin, an out
spoken advocate of free coinage. was
nominated and placed on bimetalIic
platform. He was nominated by an
overwhelming vote, thus showing that
the democratic party in Kentucky was
for the reconciliation of silver. Wat
terson and his crew have no right to
make new platform for the democracy
of Kentucky, and the sooner that fact is
impressedsupon- them the better it vii
be. There is no room for traitors In a !

A M,s8EpREsEN7A7lON CORRECTED.

Judge Jim Query has undergone no
change on the financial question, not
withstanding the Valdosta Times and a
few other cuckoo organs to the contrary.
The judge tells THE NEWS that he is now
as strong an advocate of silver coinage at
the ratio of 16 to as he ever was, and
that tn 2 report that he has been conYert' d
to the Sherman idea of finance is abso
lutelv without authority. Furthermore,
the Judge has not recently discussed the II
nancial question, and it is clear that his
reported change is another one of those
inexcusable misrepresentations for which
some of the papers of the state have be
come noted.

No selection was made, but it was stated
by Commissioner Gunst yesterday that it
would undoubtedly be decided on at the
regular meeting of the Police Commission
ers tonight.
He added that at the Monday evening
meeting it had been decided to require all
the patrolling officers to wear belts and tn at
$50 would be purchased similar to those
worn by the police of New York.
1t was also decided to secure the erection
of five branch police stations in various
parts of the City.
Commissioner Gunst's attention was
called to the fact that there were now six
branch stations and he was asked if these
five were to be in addition to those already
established.
He replied: "You don't call those things
stations; they're not fit for Lighthouses.
What we propose to do is to go before the
Board of Supervisors and find out if there
is not City property that we can get to
build proper police stations, such as they
have in the East. All those we now have
are rented

BRYANT STREET LUMBER PILE.
Complaint That 1t Obstructs the Side
walk UnfOunded.

walk UDfOundeds
| The petition recently presented to the
Mayor, and by that official referred to the
Street Committee of the Board of Super
vlsors, from several residents of Bryant
street, protesting against the piling of lum-
Der on the sidewalk by Harris, Jones e.
Co., operating a lumber yard on Bryant
street, between Sixth and Seventh, was, &C.
cordlng to the members of the firm, insti-
gated by discharged employee through
motives of spite. An inspection of the
place shows that the complaint rests on a
rather fiimsy foundation. The pile of lum-
Der which is called an obstruction does not
opstruct to any appreciate degree. All
told there is between 5000 and 1000
feet, which is piled along the entire
storehouse frontage, but in such manner
as to leave the sidewalk unobstructed for
width OF twelve feet the entire distance.
I'VE have always been very careful in
plllng our lumber" said Mr.. Jones, a
member of the firm, yesterday, "in such
manner as to leave plenty of room on the
sidewalk. There are hundreds of yards in
this City where lumber is piled out to
within four and five feet of the street.
Some OF them take up the entire sidewalk,
and leave the lumber there all the year
round.
we've 1eet OF the space In front OF our
place is always left clear, and the lumber
is in no sense an obstruction. We have
never had complaint from single per-
son on this proposition, and who the
slgners of this petition are | do not know.
1t is probably the work of certain man
who was discharged some time ago from
our yard. 1t is not a very heavy petition,
you may depend upon that, for we have
heard nothing of any complaints"
Residents in the block where the yard in
not an obstruction; that it has been there
for year and half that there is no
ground for complaint, and that they have
never heard of any petition or complaint
against it.
