Opponents.

Augusta, Ga. Dec. 1,-After the most
Hon. Patrick Walsh is elected mayor of
Augusta by S24 plurality In a hot three
cprnered fight, with Postmaster William
A Dunbar and Councilman Daniel Kerr.
Mr.. Walsh received a plurality of the
white vote and also of the negro vote. His
vote is 1858, Kerr's 1854 and Dunbars
1910.
Councilman Kerr was the administration
candidate and was supported by the or
ganized political machinery of the city
government, the city officials, police, fire
department, etc. With full knowledge of
all this. Mr.. Walsh entered the race and
made the fight for the people against the
ring. 1t was a holly contested fight for
nearly three months, in which there was
much bitterness, but election day has pass
ed off without a disturbance or serious
alteration. The use of money in the
election was absolutely open and negro
votes were bought at S. each.
The hottest fight in the mayoralty con-
test was in the Fourth ward, where Kerr
vote was 1026 and Walsh's 1.011.
The only contest for council was in the
First ward, where W. A. Garrett and AL
fred Martin We're the candidates. Here
votes brought as high as SIS, and Garrett
won by ten votes. The fight was won
by the Walsh men by u O'clock and the
enthusiasm over Mr.. Walsh's victory soon
spread all over the city, and was wired to
the afternoon papers. Ever since then
kilograms of congratulation have been
pouring in from all sections of the state
and county.

His Demise.

hospital in this city for some weeks fol-

He represented his county in the state
Senate several years and was one of

for the United States senatorship a year
ago was the leading candidate.

was noted for his philanthropy.
He came to Washington on business with
the Secretary of the Navy in regard to
improvements being made by the govern
ment in the harbor of Pensacola. A small

left home, was aggravated by exposure
consequent upon an accident to a train on
which he was a passenger and Immediately
on his arrival in this city he went to the
Garfield hospital for treatment
His family consisting of a wife and five
children, have been at his bedside for
nearly a week past. His only daughter

A RELIC OF THE PAST,
Surgical Operations For the Cure of
piles and Rectal Diseases No
Longer Necessary.
A Medical Discovery Which Will
Change the Treatment of All
Such Diseases

1t has long been thought not only by
some physicians. but by people in general
that the common, painful and exceedingly
annoying trouble piles, was practically IN
durable by any other means than a surgI-
cal operation and this BELIEF has been the
cause of years of needless suffering, be-
cause of the natural dread of surgical
operations.
There are many salves. ointments and
similar remedies on the market which at
ford some relief in cases of piles but the
Pyramid Pile Cure is the only preparation
so far introduced that can be reliably de-
pended upon to cure to stay cured, every
form of itching, bleeding or protruding
piles.
Mrs. NJ. c. Hinkley of COL Mississippi
street, Indianapolis, was told by her physi-
clans that nothing but a surgical opera-
ton costing between seven and eight hun.
bred collars, could cure her, as she had
suffered for fifteen years; yet even in such
case as hers the Pyramid Pile Cure
accomplished a complete cure. She says:
II knew an operation would be death to
me and tried the Pyramid with very lit
tie hope, and it is not to be wondered at
that / am so enthusiastic in its praise"
Mr.. d. f. Reed of South Lyons, Mich,
says ] would not take $500 and be placed
back where I was before l used the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. / suffered for years and
il is now eighteen months since 1 used
it and not the slightest trace of the trou-
BILE has returned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by nearly
all druggists at so cents and 81 per pack
age and as it contains no opium. con-
caine or other poisonous drug can be used
with perfect safety.
No one need suffer from piles In ano

The Progress Loan and Improvement
Company to Be Wound Up.

The Progress Loan and Improvement
Company 10 BE Wound Up.
Macon, Ga, Dec IA petition has been
filed in the federal court by New York
stockholders of the Progress Loan. I'm
provement and Manufacturing Company
asking for the appointment of a receiv-
er to wind up its affairs. Judge Speer
appointed Merrill Galloway temporary re-
ceiver. The minority stockholders last
July desired that the company 90 into
liquidation and no objection being made
thereto, action was taken to that end.
The company is solvent and does not owe
a dollar.
Following is a circular issued in July:
THE Progress, Loan, Improvement and
Manufacturing Company being now in
process of liquidation by order of the
managers, is instructed to make urgent
demand on all parties indebted to the
company for prompt and immediate pay
ment of their loans 1 beg, therefore,
that you make arrangements at once for
protection of your loan with the company"
Ninety per cent. of the stockholders of
the company live in Macon, and if a per-
manent receiver is appointed it will in
jure the company materially. The real
estate he'd by the company, which could,
in the course of a few months, be sold
at a reasonable price, would Oe forced up
on the market and would not bring one
third of its real value.
