BOTH SIDES ARE B0ASTFUL
FRASER AND OSBORNE EACH CLAIM
TO HAVE A CINCH.

Mai. MeIdrim Announces His Belief
in Frnscr's Successful Osborne
Bncker Bets That His Man Gets
Five Votes to Fraser's One-The
Osborne Men Also Claim Fraser
VIII Not Get 30 Votes.
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 2s.-There was a gen
eral lining up and count of noses in the
solicitorship fight for the eastern circuit
to-day. Both sides worked with vim;
the members were in their seats. and
they were enabled to get more nearly an
accurate estimate of their bearings than
they have been at any time heretofore.
As a result of this canvass both Mr..
Fraser and Mr.. Osborne continue to be
confident. For the first time Maj. Mel
drim tonight consented to be quoted on
the situation He said that he was now
in command of the situation, so that he
would give an opinion, And you may
say" said he, that it is my belief that
Mr.. Fraser has the fight whipped; that he
will be elected solicitor general"
On the other hand Mr.. Osborne and his
friends are just as confident as they have
been al any time, and that is saying a
good deal, for last night they had appar-
entity got things in a swing, and felt like
celebrating their victory before the actual
ballot.
Tonight Mr.. Osborne stated that he
was sure that he would win.
one of his closest friends and advisers
made the prediction that Mr.. Fraser
would not get thirty votes. and a bet was
made by one of the Osborne men that he
would receive > votes in the caucus to
Frazer's one. And the longer the time
between now and the caucus" said Mr..
Osborne, the better l will be pleased"

COLLECTIONS LYNCHERs.
Rosa Kearse Tells the S1ckeniDg
Details of the Crime.

Rosa Kenrse Tells the s1ckening
Details of the Crime.
Aiken, S. c.. Oct. 2S-The second day
of the trial of the Broxton bridge case
was not productive Of any sensational
features. The court room was, as yes
terday, crowded with interested specta-
tors and the attorneys for the state and
the defense watched every movement in
this game of life and death with the keen
est attention.
A number of witnesses were examined.
and, although most of them had testified
before, there was much in their state
ments of great interest. Rose Kearse the
young negro woman who had felt the
cruel blows of the cowardly lynchers upon
her naked body, and had been forced to
look on while her husband and mother
in-law were tortured before her, told the
sickening story once more. She did not
vary line from the original version, and
said she identified Ackermann, Kearse,
Jenny, Brant, Hires and Stanley. These
latter two men are not on trial in the
case now before the court, however.
The state has rested its case, and wit
nesses for the defense occupied the at
tention of the court most of the after
noon. -Four white and two colored wit
nesses swore that Rosa Kearse had told
them that she did not recognize any of
the defendants in the case when in Jail
with them. 1t was brought out on cross
examination that while this state witness
was in Jail to keep her out of the way of
intimidation or persuasion, she was APP
preached and Intercepted by numerous
people. among them county officials
Rosa Kearse admitted having said she
knew none of her assailants, and said it
was because she was among them and
feared them. The case may be concluded
tomorrow night, or at least reach the
jury.

MYTH better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions ot families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most slxillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used andgives most general satisfaction.
