Sea Doxs ON Wheels.


The bicycle fever has broken out in most
unexpected quarter. 1t is only natural that
a landsman should take to that speedy meth
cd of locomotion, but who would ever think
that seamen would get the craze? Perhaps
it is because they have become accustomed
to rolling. Nearly every British ship that
comes into port now carries bicycle, and
the skipper is usually an expert rider. At
sea he rides around and around the main
deck, and as soon as he reaches port he
takes his wheel ashore. Three sea captains
we're riding in the park the other afternoon.

DRANK WHISKEY and DIED.
TWO MEN DIE UNDER PECULIAR

Corn Prove Fatal.

The usual quiet little town of Pres
ton, in Webster county, has been
thrown into fever of excitement, and
very sad calamity has befallen sever
al good families in that section.
Some days since Mr.. James Ashley,
section master of the Georgia and Ala
bama railroad at Preston, returned
from his old home in North Carolina.
and, tits reported, brought with him
bottle of fine whiskey, which he and
a party of friends drank of in a social
way, among them Judge William S.
Stokes. Both Judge Stokes and Mr..
Ashley were seized with terrible sick
ness, and though the best medical at
tention was given them nothing could
relieve their agony. Both men died
Monday night within an hour of each
other.
The body of Mr.. ASHLEY passed
through Americas yesterday to his for
mer home in North Carolina. The other
parties who drank of the whisky are
said to have been made 50 very sick at
the time that they vomited very freely,
thereby saving their lives.
The sad affair has cast a gloom over
the enure town. Judge Stokes was a
prominent and well known gentleman,
and his untimely death is greatly re.

GOVERNOR ATKINSON'S IDEA.
Pronounced the silliest Yet Advanced on
the Lynching Question.

Governor Atkinson is quoted as
saying in regard to trying to stop
lynchings:
Legislation can provide these rene
dies. In order to enlist the taxpayers
in each county in preventing lawless-
ness and in detecting and furnishing
criminals, to do justice to the heirs of
the party lynched, the county from
whose officers the party is taken and
lynChed should be liable in damages in
a sum not less than $4,000, to be recov-
cred in suit by the administrators of
party lynched. The governor should
be authorized to remove from office any
arrestihg officer from whom prisoner
is taken by mob when such officer has
failed to do his whole duty. The law
should require the officers having pris-
oners in charge when the mob attempts
to take him from the officer to arm the
prisoner and give him an equal chance
with the men who seek to take his life
IN violation of the law. The crime of
assault with intent to rape should be
made capital offense"
That's about the silliest thing we
have ever heard on the subject. The
people would not endorse it. They
would not for a moment reward the
rapist for his crime by imposing on the
taxpayers of the state to reward his
heirs
If man had an Objectionable father
or other relative, and needed a little
money, all he would have to do would
be to organize mob, lynch him, and
then collect $4,000 out of the county,
1t would beat life insurance all boiler,
because no premiums would have to be
paid. Governor AtkinsOn's idea is not
only ridiculous, but is absolutely alb
surd.-Dalton Argus.

LA RGEST TAX RATE EVER KNOWN.
The Demands of the Taxgatherers Never
Diminish in Value.


In writing to the Atlanta Constitution
of the recent session of the State Agri-
cultural Society at Tybee, P. J. Moran
says:
Returning to politics for moment,
there is no question so close to the farm
er as that of taxation. They have read
recently in The Constitution an article
by Mr., H. E. W. Palmer, in which he
draws attention to the fact that this
year will witness the largest state tax
rate ever imposed upon the people, and
this, too, in the face of the hard times of
the last four years, and the ertainty of
its continuance.
They remember the admin straton of
Henry D. Mcdaniel, who reduced the
tax rate to the lowest figure known. In
this day Of increasing taxes, some of
them ask, why would not Henry D. Nc
Daniel be the best man to put at the
helm az ain, where he might again cut
expenses and bring the appropriations
within the income of the people? There
may be more in this question than APP
pears, for sentimental politics is easily
brushed aside by an issue of dollars and
cents.
The prices of lands 60 down; products
bring less and less in the market each
year, but the demands of the tax gather
ers never diminish in volume.

4 BRUTAL CRIME,
Through Revenge Horse Was DisembOw-

Through Revenge a Horse Was DisembOw-

In the early hours of Sunday morn
ing Bill Underwood, a colored man liv

Getting up and going out to his stable
he found his horse lying down and APP
parently very sick. On further inves-
tigation he found that some fiend had
literally carved the horse to pieces, the
stomach being cut open and the ami
NAL completely disembOweled. In a
few moments the horse was dead.
Underwood is a worthy cOlOred man
who has a farm one mile from the
city. BE also carries the mail from
this city to Bradford. He naturally
feels very indignant and will make
every effort to ferret out and bring to

his vengeance on a poor dumb brute

WOMEN WITH MANY HUSBANDS.
In Thibet Woman Is Married to All the
Brothers of a Family

Brothers of a FamilY
Miss Taylor, young English woman
who recently returned from Thibet and
is now gathering mis- sionary recruits for
that mysterious country, says that men
and women who understand medicine
will be most successful in that field. The
knowledge of drugs, she adds, among
the natives is almost equal to that of the
English themselves. The position of
women, according to Miss Taylor, is
higher in Thibet than in any other
country Of the Orient, save, perhaps,
Mongolia. In place of pOlygamy, so
common among tn Mahometans, polyan-
dry rules in Thibet, woman being mar
red as a rule to all the brothers of
family. In consequence of the nomadic
character of the people usually only one
husband is at home at time, the others
being absent in more or less distant parts
selling the products of their lands. Wo-
men in Thibet, Miss Taylor asserts, are
never punished-a fact to which she at
tributes the saving of her lie on several
occasions.

DORM TORY LIFE TOO DEAR.
BLALOCK MAY TREAD ON GOVERN.
OR ATKINSON'S TOES.
Cost of Living at the MiIledgeYille
School Far More Expensive
Than at the State Normal
School at Athens
School at Athens

The Blalock committee is probing
deep into the affairs of the Girls Nor
NAL and Industrial school. Several
weeks ago the committee made a
visit to the institution at Milledgeyille
while the lunatic asylum was being ex-
amined, but this did not satisfy the
members, and accordingly PresidenQ
ChappelI was.requested to meet the
committee in Atlanta to throw further
light upon his administration. DR.,
Chappell met the members of the COM
mlttee as requested, and he was at
once invited to take the stand.
An unusual and significant fact
about the examination of President
Chappell is that the committee provid-
ed stenographer to take down his an
swers to their questions so they may be
had for future reference.
From what can be learned the thing
that particularly worries the Blalock
committee in connection with the
girls school is that lit does not stand
favorable comparison with the
state Normal College at Athens in the
matter of dormitory economy. 1t costs
the girls who go to the Millegevllle
school considerably more for their
maintenance in the dormitOry OF the
Milledgeyille institution than it does
the students at other institutions
The committee do not understand why
this is necessarily 50, and they have
drawn the deadly parallel on the two
schools. If there is anything on earth
that the BlalOck committee is stuck on
1T is economy, economy with a great
big E, and from what can be gathered
Ofsthe examination of DIR. Chappell it
appears they do not think that his sue
cess along that line is worthy of par
ticular commentator. In fact, every
thing indicates thatIthe Blalock COM
mittee will say all kinds of things
about the Milledgeville institution,
and some of them will not be at all
complimentary. The members of the
committee, as we'll as DR.. Chappell, Of
course, refuse to be interviewed on the
subject, put enough has 'Ieaked" to
show which way the wind is blowing.
The girls school is the particular
hobby of Governor Atkinson, who, as a
member of the legislature, introduced
and championed the bill for its estab-
lishment. He has kept in close touch
with and knows all about its manage
ment. If, as suspected, the committee
uses its brOgans on the school the gov
ernor's toes will feel the squeeze keen
| ly, and it goes without saying
that he will come to its residue, all OF
which makes the situation all the more
interesting from a newspaper point of
view.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
 ScrofuIous Humors How Cure
 Was Effected.
 "When five years old my little boy had scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. 1t appeared in the form of red pimples which would lester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improve ment in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never since returned" WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.
 You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

Pine Bluffs Opportunity.

The present is Pine Bluffs oppor- tunity for manufacturing industries and industrial development.
 Never were tue industries of the South more prosperous than HOW, and sharp competition from the Southern mills is driving Northern and Eastern manufacturers from the markets of the world.
 This is especially true in the man. ufacture of cotton goods, both in the coarser and finer fabrics, and is illustrated by the action of the Fall River cotton manufacturers in re- ducing the wages of their employees ten per cent, for which action they give as an excuse the sharp compe- tition from the Southern mills, which are able to manufacture cot ton goods in the South cheaper than the same goods can be made in the North or East.
 Every cotton mill in the South is
