he feels sure he would have been knocked
down by the shock. The residence of Mr.
J. +. Shearouse was struck. The cur

the mantel-piece and sat fire to a large
earthen vase of Pampas blooms in the
fireplace. Several vases on the mantel
were broken in pieces, and scattered over
the room. Mr.. Shearouse was not at home
and Mrs. Shearouse and the children were
badly frightened. They felt the shock,
but no one was injured.
Capt. Robt. Footman. who has been de-
clining in health for some time, is unable
to leave the house to-day. He had a

up the biggest majority ever given Pres

The splendid impression made by Mr.
Brantley tonight has been the means of
bringing back to democracy many who
have been led off and embraced other
faiths by false leaders. The arguments Of
Mr. Brantley were 50 irrefutable that he
is from now on the champion of the peo-
pie and there is scarcely any likelihood
that his opponent. Mr.. Milikin of Wayne

NNJith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal 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 of 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 skillful
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 and gives most general satisfaction.

Information About Silver wanted

Editor Morning News: In the interest
of knowledge wish some kind follower
of "crucifed silver" to answer the follow
ing question, and enable me to embrace
the faith
If silver win appreciate in value to a
ratio of 16 to l upon it's restoration to
free coinage by the United States. what
prevents those who profess to believe so
firmly in it from investing their money in
silver bullion? 1t can be bought now at a
ratio of 81 to /. If free coinage act is
passed, and their position is not an alb
surdity. they will make fortunes at the
rate of 20 cents on the dollar If such an
act is not passed. they can relieve them
selves of their surplus bullion at the mar
ket rate, which could certainly not be
less. They thus stand a chance of becom-
ing millonaires without risking one cent
and yet there is no wild rush for the vic
tim of the "crime of 49,"
