Cookie BURR IN HIS THROAT.
A Distressing Accident Threatens Death to
a Young Man,

"A Distressing ACCluenG lnrSaUonS Deatn TO
Young Man,
A distressing and peculiar accident
befell the thirteen-year-old son of Mr..
Dougherty, farmer living about five
miles west of the city. Friday last while
the lad was beating down cotton stalks
with a stick cookie burr flew in his
mouth and was drawn into the windpipe.
Efforts were made, but without avail,
to remove the cookie burr from his
throat. Mr.. Dougherty brought his son
to Dawson and placed the case in the
hands of DR.. W. C. Kendrick, who made
every effort to get the burr out of the
boys throat. Despite his efforts this
could not be done, and unless nature
removes. it an incision Will have to be
made in the throat to get at the trouble
some intruder.
At present the boys breathing is
affected and when he speaks, or attempts
to speak, harsh rafting sound is heard.
DIR. Kendrick says that unless the burr
is finally removed, in the course Of
twelve or fifteen years death must ensue.
This is terrible outlook, and it is hoped
that some specialist will find way to
remoAe this menace to the boys life, and
restore piece of mind to one thus sadly
situated.

Grippe Cured in Three DAYS.

Mr.. L. Stuart, Atlanta, Ga, says: SIN
January last l had a violent attack of
La Grippe. 1 was advised to try DR..
Kings Royal Germetuer, which cured
me in three days. 1 was again attacked
with the Grippe this month, Nsvember,
and again cured myself with Germetner
more quickly than BEFORE" "Thus it is
that those who try Germetuer for the
Grippe once, use nothing else in future.

Important Notice to Farmers.

The American FertilizersC Company, If

planters in the way of fertilizers for
1895. They propose to sell direct to the
farmers of Terrell county, thereby giving
them all the profits which heretofore have
gone to the middle nan. The advantage
of buying directfrom first hands is appa-
rent to all. Their brands are the oldest
and best known in the sUate-among
them being "Plowboy's Brand Guano"
and "Black Rock Dissolved Bone" be-
sides which they sell German Kainit,
Cotton Seed Meal and all first-class fer
tilizer material.
Wri.e the American Fertilizer Compa-
ny, Macon, Ca, for prices. No delay in
closing trades and shipping, as tn" com
pany is well acquainted with Terrell

SERIOUSLY BURNED.
A Little Child Falls into the Fire While
PLAYING in the Yard.

Little Child Falls into the Fire While
PLAYING In the Yard.
Late Wednesday evening the baby boy
of our townsman, Mr.. J. Fl. McClelland,
was seriously burned. The little fellow
is but sixteen months old and was play
ing in the back yard. The washerwo-
man had fire built around the wash
pot and the servant looking after the
child went into the house on some bust
ness. During her absence the little boy
got into the fire. He was burned on the
legs above the knees, on the thighs and
stomach and also about the neck. His
screams brought his mother TO the scene,
and while applying home remedies DR..
Lasseter was summoned. The burns are
of such a serious character that fears are
entertained of the baby's recovery at
this writing, though the physician is
sanguine concerning the result.
Mr.. and Mrs. McClelland have the
heartfelt sympathy Of the entire COM
munity in this hour of anxiety and
distress, and it is hoped that a complete
recovery may brighten their home.

TIMES UP.
HARRISON STEVENS LIFE NEARING
AN END.
Amer1cus Yesterday. Everything In
Readiness for the Execution.

Readiness for the Execution.
death for the murder of j. G. Wells,
will pay the penalty of his brutal crime
today.
The condemned man was brought
down from Americas on the Central
train yesterday afternoon, and is now
spending the few short hours he has to
| live in a cell in the Terrell county Jail.
Until the hour Of his execution today
the time will probably be spent with his
spiritual adviser and in telling his rela-
tives and friends good bye.
Sheriff Christie has everything in
readiness for the execution, and says it
will occur between II and 1 O. clock.
The gallows, which was built by Mr.
Jasper Leverett, is located at the Jail
door in high enclosure 16x20 feet in
dimensions, and is so arranged that
when the dooaed man descends the
stairway coming down from the Jail he
walk from the door onto the instrument
of death.
rhe hanging will be private, and the
Smallness of the enclosure around the
gallows will allow very limited number
of witnesses to be admitted. Sheriff
Christie says he has bad hundreds of
applications for admission, but he will
not be able to crafty them. Only those
provided for by the law now governing
hangings in Georgia will be permitted
inside of the enclosure.
Although the hanging will be private
many people are expected in the city to-
day, and the Guards, under command of
Captain Clark, will be out to preserve
order and keep the crowd from assem-
bling in the Jail yard.
The readers of THE News are familiar
with the crime which Harrison Stevens
will expiate today. In the fall of 1893
the body of j. e. Wells, one of the
most prominent citizens of Terrell
county, was found on the edge of Kinch-
afoonee swamp, near the pnb'ic road,
with his head almost torn off by load
of shot and another load in his back.
Harrison Stevens and Jim Majors were
on the creek hunting that day CD land
that had been posted by by Mr.. Wells,
and strong circumstantial evidence OF
their puilt led to their arrest and subse-
quent conviction at special term of
court Majors was sent to the peniten-
tiary for life and Stevens was sentenced
to be hanged last January. Pending an
appeal to the supreme courC for new
trial Stevens escaped and remained at
large until last Decem Der, when he was
captured in Alabama by Mr.. J. A. Hors-
ley. He was at once resentenced by
Judge Griggs, and in few hours the
last act in the tragedy will have ended.

FARMERS LEARN THE LESSON.
A Wall Going Up From Fertilizer Dealers
That Their Business is Gone.

A Wall Going Up From Fertilizer Dealers
That Their Business is Gone.
ATLANTA, January %. The fertilizer
mon are complaining that the farmers
are not buying this year. One of the
largest dealers in the state said today
that Year ago his firm had shipped up
to this time 4, 100 tons. This year it has
shipped only 200 tons. A manufacturer
here in Atlanta who was shipping year
ago forty or fifty car loads day is not
shipping a pound now. A manufacturer
in nelghboring town says that last Jan
uary he was shipping ten car loads a
day. He is not shipping any now, and
he states that no orders are coming in.
Information comes from Savannah and
Charleston too thats the manufacturers
and middle men at those points are not
doing any business. The inference is
drawn that the southern farmers pro
pose to make this years crops economi-
cally. 1t is hard on the railroads. They
usually get large revenue out of fertil-
izers. But this year they are not doing
it. This, coming on the heels of the loss
of the orange. crop, makes the railroad
traffic more blue.

THE DISPENSARY.
Newspapers Prediction Verified.
Green Vile Mountaineer.

Greeuville Mountaineer.
The dispensary law has been attack
ed from every side it is possible for the
ingenuity oflawyers to discover. For
more than two years it has withstood
these attacks in all the courts of the
land, and the prediction has been
frequently made by its opponents that
the bottom would be knocked out of
the dispensary. Back and forth the
LAWYERS have rung the changes upon
its unconstitutionality, and the news
papers have set the day for its final
doom, but the law has persisted In
enforcing itself, and it never was In
better trim for q long life than at the
present time. Judges and lawyers
have tackled almost every provision of
the law, and except the restraining
order of Judge Simonton as to the i'm
portation of liquor for personal use un-
der the limitation of five gallons, not
a hole has been made in the dispensary
system.
The latest effort to set aside the law
has been under test this week, and
while the proceedings are not final or
conclusive, the indications are that
this vaunted method will fail to
accomplish its object. A citizen of
another State brings an action to recov-
er damages under the anti-monopoly
law of Congress, because the dispen-
sary authorities had seized and confis-
Gated large quantity of liquor be
longing to him. The whole question
hinges upon the construction of the
anti-monopoly law as to whether the
State is "a person, corporation or asso-
ciation.n The showing made before
Judge Simonton on behalf Of the
complainant was much weaker than
anticipated, and to layman it is
evident that there is even less in this
contention than some of its predeces'
sors. No one knows or has a right to
intimate what will be the decision of
Judge Simonton, but it is plain that a
Judgment against the dispensary law
in this case would have to rest on 9th
er grounds than those relied upon in
the argument. The State has made
out a strong defence, and we do not
expect to see any change take place In
the administration of the dispensary
law when the decision is rendered:
Citizens of adjoining States will still
have to obey the laws of South Caro-
lima when on this side Of the line.
