BOGUS READING MATTER.

A Kick on the Fake News Item
Newspapers should COnhne Adj
vertisements to Their Advertising
Columns.
A custom that doubtless had its con-
ce2tion and birth in the free puff" so
much sought after. is that OF publishing
alleged items Of news in the local columns
OF the newspapers. which prove. to the dis
gust Of the reader. to be well disguised
ads Of Bones Pills" or Smiths Elias
tic Overalls," or some other panacea for
all the ills that flesh is partial to. This
style Of advertising is by no means con-
fined to the promoter Of patent nostrums,
but has been also cultivated by most
other lines Of business, and there seems
a growing inclination to "sit down on
this stlye of publicity. For the past two
or three Sundays the leading clothing
house Of this city INDUCED in some profit
able efforts in this direction, and while
perhaps, the reader was sold" Messrs
Levy & Bro. say that on the strength
of their alluring articles much fine cloth
ing was also sold At a meeting Of the
National Association of Pen Wipers in
Eli-ville last week it was decided to ad-
dress a. petition TO every newspaper Of
note in America inviting their co-opera-
ton in the suppression of the fake local

about this stage OF the game that
b. h. levy and brother are stil supplying
the town with fine clothing. overcoats and
underwear at prices that strike terror to
the hearts Of all competitors, you will
doubtless conclude that, as far as the
Morning News is concerned, a good thing
is always worth reading, whether it is an
advertisement or a stirring item of gen.
eral news.-ad.

tt. J. WILLIAMS WANTS BAIL.
He Is Charged With Conspiracy and
Murder in the Dodge Case in Tel
fair County.

fair County.
An application for bail was sent to
Judge Speer yesterday by T. Jack VII
liams. now In jail in Macon, through his
attorney, J. W. Preston, Esq, of that
city.
Williams is charged with conspiracy and
murder, on which charges he was bound
over by United States Commissioner L.
NJ Erwin on Feb. 6. The case is one that
was connected with the Norman W.
Dodge lands In Telfair county. Williams
and his friends, three others who were in
terested, avowed that Dodge should cut
no timber from certain lands in that
county. In some way the matter had
already got into the courts. When VIII
liams and the others learned that there
We're some negroes on the place cutting
wood, the four men went down and shot
the negroes, killing one Tom Young.
Williams is the only one of the four
yet arrested. The evidence shows he
was with the party and that he was
armed, but also that it was not his
shot, but one by another man of the same
name that did the killing. On these
grounds he is making application for
release on bond. The judge will take
the matter under consideration

Sake.

The White Ribbon Mission, whose head
quarters are at No. ia Broughton street,
accomplished good deal in the way of
charity last month. Seven hundred and
twenty-six free lodgings were furnished,
81 meals were given out and employment
was found for four men. The attendance
at the gospel temperance meetings was
COS and sixteen pledges were taken.
A little work in the way of cleaning
up and cutting wood is required from
those receiving the benefits of the insti-

less they can so arrange as to make the
work pay the extra expenses incurred

HER CLOTHING BURNED OFF.
An Old CoIOred Woman the Victim
of "A FrightfuI Accident.

or "a Frtghtful Accident.
Mary Woods. an old colored woman,
was probably fatally burned last night
about 9 o'clock. The old woman lived
alone in a small house in yard at Floyd
street and Perry street lane. She was so
old that she could hardly move about. 1t is
supposed that she went to sleep by the
fire, and that her dress caught fire.
The colored people living in the neigh
borhood heard her screams, and two
colored men rushed into the yard. where
they found her rolling on the ground with
her clothing in flames. They endeavored
to beat out the flames with crocus sacks,
but almost every stitch of clothing on the
woman's body was burned off. Her skin
was crisped all over. She was carried into
the house and efforts made to secure
a physician None of the physicians
in the neighboThood who were called upon
seemed to be at home, and word was sent
to the police barracks The parties were
sent from the barracks to DR.. S. =. Lloyd,
colored, the new city physician. He said
that he could not come, but gave a per-
NIT to take the woman to tho hospital.
The police ambulance was sent to the
house, and the old woman was taken to
the Georgia Infirmary, where she arrived
about 1890 o'clock. The Inhrmary was
called up by telephone at I o'clock this
morning, and the attendant replied that
the old woman had received no medical
attention, no physician having called at
the hospital. She was still alive.
