Seems as if consumption al

Seems as if consumption al
ways picks out the brightest and
best. Fully one-sixth of all the
deaths that occnr in the world are
caused by consumption. Many
things were once considered i'm
possible. 1t would be strange if
medical science did not make some
progress. The telegraph and ttle-
phone, the phonograph, the cleo
trio ligbt-all were once impossi-
BILE, and once it was impossible to
cure consumption. That was be.
fore the time of DR.. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery. Taken &C
cording to directions, this stand.
ard remedy will cure SO per cent.
of all cases Of consumption. Cou.
sumption is caused and fostered
by impurity in the blood. 1t is
cured by purity and richness in
the blood-surely, certainly cured
by the "Medical Discovery" 1t
builds up solid healthy flesh and

Do Nor. WANT M GRoEs. The
people who reside in the vicinity
of Pollock, On the Iron Mountain
Railroad, do not appear to want
negroes 10 the neighborhood. The
Railroad company had force of
twenty six negroes engaged in
building a i pur near Pollock. The
negroes were ordered to leave on
several different occasions by the
white citizens. Not complying
with the de mand, they were wait
ed upon by armed men and forced
to abandon their employment and
leave the neighboihood, Jude,

Some Of them went TO Monroe and
the rest came to this city. The
object, of course, is to so intimi-
date the negro, that he will not
dare to compete with the while

The progressive citizens Of
Donaldsonville are making efforts
to organize a mutual fire insurance
company in order to relieve prop
erty holders Of the exorbitant rates
charged by the concerns that are
permitted under our insurance
laws to rob the people of the State
ad libitum. Every town in the
State should follow the example of
Donaldsonville. Discussing the
movement the Times says: "The
idea WAS everywhere received by
merchants and property owners as
tirst.class and there has been
eviuced the greatest interest in
the proposed enterprise. Insur-
auce rates have reached almost a
prohibitive figure in this city, and
that, too, without any reason,
which makes tue formation of a
home company Imperative lber-
vile South.
The suggestion that local fire
insurance companies should be Or
ganized in every town, is good
one and should be acted upon as
speedily as possible. While we
have unsurpassed facilities in
Alexandria for the prompt extin-
guishment of fires, an excellent
hose company fully equipped aud
manned in every ward, with All
unlimited water supply, we have
not been able TO persuade the Sin.
surance trust" that the danger
from fire has been practically re-
duced to zero.
The same exorbitant rates are il
force, almost equal to confsca
ton, which prevailed before VT
had our present system Of water
works and a splendid hose conpa
ny in every ward. 1t is impossi
ble for any fire to gain Roadway

Association met at the Court house
in Alexandria at IL O'clock last
Saturday, pursuant to call, and
was called to order by the Presi-

ct can be regarded in no other
light, than 2s registered protest
of the people against the methods
which have heretofore prevailed in
the selection of delegates. This
ticket will support Mr.. Ariail if
his name is placed in nominations,
if not, it will vote for Mr.. Ogden.
But under the circumstances, We
presume that he will not permit
his name to be presented to the
convention. In the first place the
returns from the various parishes
show that Mr.. Ogden has secured
enough votes to nominate him Oh
the first ballot. In the second
place, MIR. Ariail has declined the
proffered honor III the following
language: ''That l have not been,
am not now aud will not be Il can.
didate seeking the nomination be.
fore the Democratic convention to
he held Oct. LIST 1896, at Shreve.
port, La" And finally; his father,
in-law, Judge Blackmap, who had
the management of bis interests
in reply to Judge Hunter, used
the following language: "Ont
thing certain, if the Hunter oppo
sition ticket wins, the friends O.
Ariail will look on it as his defeat
and his name will not be permitted
to go before the convention ant
meet with the same fate that oul
candidate did in 1902

In Difference to the resolution, the
Chairman convened the Commit.
tee, but that Body by vote of Il
to 4, refused to take any action in
the matter. The opposition was
then forced to the dernier resort of
putting out another ticket, with
the above result.
The defeat of the Blackman tick
ct cannot be charged to the fact
that it had the names Of several
"gold-bugs" on it, for such was
not the case. 1t is true that the
first ticket selected contained the
names oftwo or three sound money
men, but after the opposition which
had developed against it, became
so intensified, prudence dictated
that it should be remodeled and in
the change which took place, the
names of the "gold.bugs" were
erased, as we'll as several Others

new ticket was so entirely chang

COMES AS A SURPRISE.
The Eagle and Phenx Mills Placed in Tempo rary Recelvership-The Rather Sensa-
 tonal Allegations of Petition.

Atlanta, June 13.-The Eagle and Phe- nix mills of Columbus, Ga. were today placed in a temporary receivership by Judge w. T. Newman of the United States district court here. The receivers are James w. English and John s. Bigby of Atlanta and G. Gunby Jordan of Co., lumbus. Bigby is president of the com pany. The mills are among the largest and best known in the south. They were built before the war, were burned by Sherman and rebuilt after the war
 The petition for a receivership was filed by J. A. Newton, administrator of the estate of William Clarke E. A. Tor bett and Mrs. E. w. Torbett. It is stated in the petition that the company started a savings bank years ago. More than S1 1000, 900 was deposited by employees and others. This money, it is charged, was never used for loans, but was absorbed in building new mills. It is further charged that the mills have no money with which to pay accruing interests on bonds. The floating debt and bonded in- debtedness amount to $1,120,000. A few weeks ago the operatives struck against reduction in one of the departments and the mills were idle for seven weeks. They have since been running on short time

with wheelmen. The cyclist should sit down and get thoroughly cooled off be- fore drinking anything that is cold. Many cyclists avoid an intense thirst by chewing gum. This habit may be in- dulged in with perfect safety, provided the pure and old-fashioned spruce gum Is used. 1t is an open question as to which will prove the more injurious to the stomach-the cold drinks or the sal iva impregnated with all sorts of pow erful fiavoring substances contained in some of the modern chewing gums The process of manufacture of most of the so-called gums is secret, so that one cannot tell what he is chewing. Tt Is quite evident that the fair, fat and forid people one sees on the boule- yard and in the parks are not aware of the danger of heart failure, embolism, apoplexy and various other troubles or they would not go pedalling along the roads and up the hills at the furious paeef which some of them employ. Such are out with one object in view, and that is to reduce weight. Some of them do lose f1esh,' but they usually take it on again when they discontinue wheeling. Riding uphill is always dangerous thing, but particularly so in warm wealth CT. It causes the heart to overact at furious rate, and this overaction, when continued for any length of time must eventually cause an enlargement or dilation of that organ, with such symp- eCAtff' feeble heart action and loss of flesh and strength.
 "The wise bicyclist never rides uphill He dlsmounts at the foot of the hill and wheels his machine to the summit, thus avoiding the risks involved were he to ride to the top.
 Another danger to the health of the cyclist lies in riding immediately after meal. The wheel should never be mount ed until after the process of digestion is f1-Sf,, ox h T half to two hours.
 Another danger to the cyclists-par- ticularly those who go for long rides in the country-iS sunstroke. It is always best to ride before noon and after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The danger of sunstroke is much less during these hours.
 When seized with feeling of exhaus- tion, fatigue, headache and faintness the rider should discontinue riding at once and lie down in cool and shady place. Riders who are subject to attacks of faintness and headache will do we'll tp carry "a small quantity of aromatic spir- its of ammonia. teaspoonful of this preparation taken in Title cold water will afford almost instant relief ''The run however, should be discon- tinued at once"
