failed to decide. Upon their continued
refusal to answer these questions and
upon the petition of the Central, Judge

straining order and set Feb. "a as the
day for hearing arguments in this new
phase of the matter. The attorneys of
the Central will then ask that he perma-

New York. Feb. 3.-There were a num-

lors down town to-day in regard 10 the
new government loan The chief points
at issue were the prices TO be bid for the
bonds. and local bankers were endeavor-
ing 10 find out the average rate TO be
rendered by New York city capitalists.
II is said that those most enthusiastic
for a popular loan a little while ago and
who advanced the argument that the gov
eminent would net considerably more by
refusing TO deal with a syndicate have
materially lowered the prices they will
pay for the issue. According to good au-
thorities, the bids put in by these par
ties will run anywhere from 1862 TO 100.
It will be remembered the syndicate bid
was 1O494 net, with a guarantee that the
gold to be turned in would not be taken
from the sub-treasury.

Valdosta, Ca, Feb. 3.-There was ro-
mantle marriage in this city at the Stuart
hotel on Saturday night. The contracting
parties were Mr.. Asa May of
Florida and Miss May Cunning

number of guests at the hotel. The
couple came here together on the train
from Townsville, and Immediately after
the ceremony they separated. Mr.. May re-
turning to Florida and the bride going to
her home al Abel 1t is said here that
Miss Cunningham has been adopted into
Mr.. Mays family. Some of her people
have been i'll at Abel or near there and

Independent candidate Of acknowledged
strength is in the race against him, and
the race will probably be lively from now

ing Augusta $4,000.
Augusta, Ca, Feb. 3.-Two or three
years ago the point was made against the
Southern Express Company that this be-
ing the headquarters of the company, it
was liable for taxation here, not only
upon the assets of the company in the
local office at Augusta, but throughout
the country The company resisted this
ruling, but the city assessors added $780,,
900 to the tax returns of the company in
1892, and in each of the three succeeding
$4,000. The taxes, interest and PEN
alties amounted to something over
$4,000. Suit was entered for this amount,
and the case was pending in the superior
court. With the assent of Judge Galloway,
a compromise was entered into, the South
ern Express Company agreeing to pay
the city $4,000. which means a clean re-
ceipt up to Jan. !, 1896. The decree was
entered to-day but does not become of
force until the amount named shall have
been paid TO the city. In connection with
this case, Judge Galloway rendered a rul-
ing that as Augusta was the headquar-
tiers of the Southern Express Company the
city should have the right, not only to
tax the company for its property and
money on hand in this city Jan. /, but
also levy tax of 2ih per cent. on the
gross income Of the company in the state
of Georgia. This is the same tax levied

jackson, Miss, Feb. 3-Rumor has had
it for several days that when the peni-
tertiary board of control met to-day that
charges would be preferred against War
den jenkins. When the board met this
afternoon Jenkins was charged with neg
lect and mismanagement on the Rankin
county convict farms through his district
The charge consists of allowing the con-
Victs to roam at large at night and depre-
date upon adjoining farms Thefts have
been committed within the last ten days
under Jenkins reckless management and
he was cited to appear tomorrow when
he will be confronted by eight or more
witnesses who were to-day summoned
Charges perhaps of a graver character
will be tomorrow preferred against Jen-
kins by parties from the Delta, where
there are several convict farms. If any
one of the charges is proven, Jenkins re-
moval will be warranted. His term ex-
hires next NoVemher.

Glddness Comes

INTith 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, Syrupo Figs, prompt
1y 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 dobilitating 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, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utabie druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl5illful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informedev everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
nsedand gives most general satisfaction.
