Lincoln, Neb., as follows: "After trying
other medicines for what seemed to be a

we tried Dr. Kings New Discovery and
at the end of two days the cough entirely
left them. We Will not be without it

it cures where all other remedies fail. -

SOME time ago local paper closed
an article on national finances with the
assertion that we have seventy-five times
as much silver of debt paying power now
as we had previous to 1878. This state
ment has been copied by number of
cuckoo editors in various parts of the
state, who evidently knew no more of the
facts than the author OF the article in
question. Now, as a matter of fact, We
have no silver of debt paying power if
the debt is more than S.. The accept
ance of silver in payment of debts rests
solely upon sufferance, and so with all
other forms of currency except gold coin
and greenbacks.

The grand jury which was called at
Butte, Montana, for the purpose of in
vestigsting the causes of the terrible ex-
plosion which occurred there and was
followed by such loss of life appears to
have been unable to fix the blame any
where. Our system of jurisprudence is
a great scheme for providing a way of
escape for criminals.

THE Kansas City Star asserts that the
silver law of 1890 was adopted for the
purpose of coming the American pro-
duct. If that is true, why was it not
coined. and how does it happen that
there is large accumulation of silver

the intention was to coin the American
product. why did the law provide for its

NOT TO OPEN ON SUNDAY.
The Exposition Directors Vote
Against the Proposition.

Tine Exposition Directors Vote
Against the Proposition.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. SO-The question of
Sunday opening was settled by an over
whelming vote at the directors meeting
on the exposition grounds this afternoon
There was a very full meeting of the
board, and Mr.. Cabaniss, manager of the
Atlanta Journal, moved that the grounds
be opened and the Midway closed on Sun
days.
Howard Palmer, ex-director general,
moved as a substitute that the grounds
be closed on Sundays, and that this action
be speedily published.
Capt, j. W. English, chairman of the
executive committee, moved as a substi-
tute that the whole matter be laid on the
table. The motion to lay it on the table
was adopted by an overwhelming vote At
this Juncture DR.. r.. ID. Spalding arose and
read the following extracts from the rules
and regulations adopted by the exposition
some months ago: THE exposition shall
be opened for the admission of visitors on
the 18th day of September, and closed on
ne 3lst day of December, 1895. On each
day of the week except Sundays, the gates
shall be opened to exhibitors and all en-
ployes at o'clock, and to the public at 8
CLOCK a. m, and close at 10 p. M, except
IN special cases."
The reading of this rule was applauded
ana 1t is considered that this viii settle
the question. The vote to lay Mr.. Cab
anlss motion on the table had been so
overwhelming that it is not believed that
any further attempt will be made to open
the exposition grounds on Sunday.

CAROLINA'S CODE OF LAWS
TIE DIVORCE PROBLEM TAKEN UP
BY THE CONVENTION.

Three Proportions Pending on the
Question-A Long Debate Over the
Property Rights of Married WO-
men-A Resolution Before the Con-
ventiOn Proposing an Adjournment
From Oct. 4 to Jan. 14-The Articles
on Impeachment and Amendments
Passed to Third Reading.
Columbia, S. c., Sept. 3O.-This has been
the first day since the constitutional con-
vention that the calendar was even nearly
through 1t has been distinctly a routine
day in every sense of the word. Two
more articles those on the impeachments
and amendments. neither loaded with any
dynamite, passed to a third reading. The
rest of the day was devoted to sections of
the report of the committee on miscela-
neous matters Everything calculated to
bring about fight was passed over. The
matter of divorces Will probably come up
tonight. The convention came danger
ously near passing womans Suffrage
clause this morning, before realizing what
it meant. but the trouble was seen in
time, President Evans Is III and vice
President Talbert was in the chair to-day.
When the convention met this evening
a matter that had been brewing all day
was presented. 1t came in the shape OF
this resolution, offered by j. E. Ellerbe:
That the convention shall adjourn on
Friday, the 4th day of October proX., to
meet on Tuesday, the 14th day of January,
1896"
Although Senator Tillman is violently
opposed to this, there is a strong sentiment
in favor OF taking such action.
There was a long debate and a hard
fight upon the adoption of a provision put
ting married woman's property rights on
identically the same footing with those of
an unmarried woman.
Then the divorce problem was taken up,
and when the convention adjourned at
1115 p. m, the heated debate was scarcely
more than half completed. There are
three propositions pending, one absolutely
against any divorce, as South Carolina
stands to-day; another to allow no divorce
except for conviction of adultery in a
court. and not allowing the guilty party
to remarry. The third is to allow di-
vorces by the judgment of a court, as
shall be prescribed BY law

GEORGIA's sENATORsHIP.
A Lively Fight to BE Made for the
south Georgia Votes.

south Georgia Votes.
Waycross. Ca. Sept 3O.-It is evident
that he senatorial campaign in Georgia,
so far as South Georgia is concerned,
will have its seat of war in Waycross.
The first intimation received here to that
effect was an announcement in a private
manner that Hon. Fleming G.. du Big
non would make his opening speech in
the senatorial campaign at Waycross in
November
The friends Of Secretary Hoke Smith
have received Instructions from Washing
ton to get together all the available forces
in the interest of Mr. Smith and begin the
campaign. Mr.. Smith. 1t is learned, is
very eager to get a foothold here, as he
is very anxious about this part of the
state. He is arranging to make a speech
here some time this fall, and it is his
purpose to win as many supporters as he
can.
The friends of Hon. Henry G. Turner
are also preparing for the campaign, and
they are confident that Mr.. Turner will
obtain a solid support from South Geor-
gia.
As the matter now stands, with Turner
and duBignon in the lead and South
Georgia about evenly divided between
them, Mr.. Smith will not lose any oppor-
tunity of battling for South Georgia sup
port. The chances are now in favor of Mr..
Turner, and that gentleman's friends will
leave nothing undone that would tend to
increase his support.
Hence ii would seem that Waycross
will be the center in the senatorial cam
paign of Georgia in 1896.

A NEW LINE FOR PLANT.
A Strong Suspicion That He Has
scOOped the WaycrOss Road.

Waycross, Ca, Sept. 30.-General Super
intendent b. Durham of the Plant system
has recently been over the Waycross Air
Line and inspected the shops. road bed
and rolling stock. He was here several
days while inspecting the Air Line. Much
gossip has been current since. as to Mr..
Dunham's purpose in looking over the
Air Line. Another interesting matter,
which was freely discussed during Mr..
Dunhams visit, was the shipment of half
a dozen or more cars of steel rails to the
Air Line by the Plant system When this
became known Ii was talked about that
the Air Line had been scooped by the
Plant system and that the Atlanta extern
sion had been begun. Another rumOr is
current that the Air Line has been
bought by the Plant system and it will
not be extended beyond Nichols. There is
still another rumor that the Plant sys-
TEN and the Southern railway will soon
connect as formerly at Jesup and thus
Kill the Southern's connection with the
r. G. * p. system. This latter rumor is
mainly current at Jesup, and it is said
that the information came from Of
ticials Of the Southern. The Jesup people
are of the opinion that the South
ern VIII be running its Florida
some time in October. They say that they
think the Waycross air line will become
the property of .se Plant system and be
extended to HcLlehurst. If this is true.
the Southern passenger trains could save
40 or so miles by connecting with the
Plant system at Hazlehurst.

board of managers, and many important
matters that will not require general con-
sideration from the board of trade will
be attended to by them without calling a
general meeting. President Sharpe said
trade would take steps at once to ex-
tend the Waycross Air Line to Halle
hurst. I'VE WILL" said he, see what the
Plant system is going to do regarding the
air line before we make a move, and If
we are satisfied that nothing will be done
by that system toward extending the air
line TO Atlanta or Hazlehurst, we will
build the Nichols extension ourselves. But
we had rather see the line extended to
Atlanta, and we may yet see IL done"
The merchants OF WaycrOSS have ar
ranged to have a big trade day on Oct.
II, and the railroads will give cheap
rates to Waycross for that day.
