AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
Augusta Cotton Men VIII Fight
ROnds That Work Against Them.


Augusta, Ga, Oct. 12-There was a meet
ing of the cotton interests in Augusta at
the exchange this evening to protest
against certain through rates by the Geor-
gia railroad to Charleston, which discrlm-
mated against Augusta, and against dis
examinations by the South Carolina and
Georgia railroad, and the Augusta South
ern which 1t controls. 1t is charged that
everything is being done by these rail-
roads in the interest of Charleston, and
that Augustus business interests are be-
ing sacrificed
The meeting was well attended and the
cotton factors were outspoken in their
condemnation The following action was
taken:
Resolved, That we appoint a commit
tee to employ an attorney to see If we
have any legal rights and redress under
the laws of the state and the railroad
commission, and also to publish an open
address to the merchants and citizens Of
Augusta and our patrons along the line
OF the railroads, setting forth our griev-
ances."
Under this resolution, Messrs. F. B.
Pope, James Tobin, l.. L. Fleming, G. H.
Nixon and w. r. Glazebrook We're ap-
pointed. The cotton men are very much
in earnest, and the money was promptly
subscribed for carrying on the legal
fight. While the threat of boycott was
not made in express terms, 1t was plainly
intimated in the meeting that the cotton
men would enlist other lines with them
in the fight, and if these roads persisted
in antagonizing Augustus interest, they
would fight back by favoring lines that
favored them.
A lively fight is anticipated.

is II CARTER, OR is IT WATSON
Political Gossip as to the Next Pop
uIist Candidate For Governor.

Political Gossip as to the Next Pop
uIist Candidate For Governor.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct 12.-Yancy Garter, the
ieonine state senator from Hart county,
was in Atlanta to-day. He came down,
he said, on private business, but at the
same time he found time to set afoat an
interesting bit of gossip of a political ma
ture.
Despite the fact that Hon. Thomas Wat
son, who is also here attending the SUI
preme court, is as dumb as an oyster when
approached upon the subject of politics,
saying that he is a politician out of job.
and not seeking one either; Senator Car
ter declares that Watson will be the next
popuiist nominee for governor. When told
that Mr.. Watson had repeatedly declared
of late that he was done with politics.
Senator Carter laughed. The idea evident
ly amused him good deal though he says
he is a staunch friend of the McDuffie
leader. He is satisfied that Watson will
be offered the nomination next year, and
has no doubt, he says, that he will accept
it.
While Senator Carter Is free with this
view, there is good reason to believe that
he himself has a road up for the next pop
ulist nomination. He was brought promi-
nently before the public by the judicial in
vestigation, in which he figured as the
prosecutor, and this prominence has
caused him to aspire to division of lead
ership with Watson. Carter has not been
i'm Atlanta since the investigation last Win
ter, and his presence now at the same time
as Watson has revived political gossip
considerably

greater and in others less than that. At
100 feet the temperature was 90 degrees,
and at $500 feet, 136 degrees, an increase
of 81 degrees for AGO feet.
In the early stages of the boring the in
crease Of the temperature was not as great
as that when the well became deeper, and
now a sudden change is looked for by
Prof Hallock at any moment, which may
bring the steam point much nearer than
was originally expected.
The heat of the interior of the earth is
shown to be almost uniform by the tenn
perature observations in wells widely sep
arated. In the Sperenberg salt we'll near
Berlin, the temperature is 10 degrees at
a depth of 41T0 feet while the Wheeling,
W. Va. well at a depth of 4,200 feet shows
a temperature of 1855 degrees, and the
Pittsburg well shows 10 degrees at 1850
feet.
In the Schaladaback salt we'll near
Leipsic. the temperature at $40 feet is
135.5 degrees, and in the Pittsubrg well a
800 feet the tempera ture is 1876 degrees,
showing that the salt well is slightly
warmer than the well in the oil country,
but the difference Is too slight to be ma
terial.
Prof Hallock expects the deep hole to
develop some new geological conditions of
even greater economic value than the dis
covery of natural steam, but as these
hopes are largely speculative he refuses
to say anything until there is some basis
for their realization
1t will be possible when the well is COM
pleted, to study the formation of the in
terror of the earth more comprehensively
than has yet been done and if the outlook
is promising for new discoveries, when the
1O,00-foot mark has been reached, the
drilling will be continued to the limits of
mechanical feasibility. Those limits have
never yet been reached, and the boring
may finally reach depth of many miles.

voice. He can hold one of his notes for

HOW'S THIS FOR A BIG
ENDORSEMENTS

See what a great wheel our UNION
CRACK-A-JACK is. Carries 21O-pound
rider 1850 miles without a single accident
over the toughest kind of roads,
This splendid certificate was given en-
tirely unsolicited by a Philadelphia. Mr..
Charles Bellevou, chief engineer of the
steamship Maverick of the Standard Oil
Company
Engineer Bellevou says that he purchas-
ed a UNION CRACK-A-JACK S75 1897
wheel in Philadelphia, paying $50 for it
Our price is $40, and he considered at
the time that he had a great bargain in
getting it so cheap. He has ridden this
wheel 1900 miles over all kinds of roads.
and has had not a single puncture or the
slightest breakdown. This gentleman
weighs 210 pounds, and as this UNION
was examined yesterday carefully by our
cycle expert and does not show the
slightest signs of wear, we can claim
justly any amount of excellence for it.
It is not possible to get a stronger in
dorsement for the UNION, as no bicycle
in Savannah has ever had or ever will
be put to the test that Engineer Belevou
has given the UNION.
Please understand that this is the 1897
$40 grade, identically the same as we are
selling or rather giving away, to the

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets iDflaned you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the infla-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by
,tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

pany to ruin the Secretary of an IL
stitution which was sound and
solvent, aud with him deposed both
would drop into good berths where
large profits and ample pay would be
theirs. Their conduct in this matter
shows what republican ex-of1icial
will do to prevent the closing of an
opportunity to draw salary. The
conspiracy failed of its purpose. The

captured is bankrupt, while DIR. Spin

Safety of the Mails.

Some time ago the pension Office
gave notice to attorneys throughout
the country that in the future it would
not notify them of the receipt of pen
sion papers forwarded to the office un-
less list of such papers accompanied
them. This order threw upon the pen
sion agents the work of making out a
list OF papers they forwarded, which
labor had formerly devolved upon clerks
in the pension office, taking the entire
time of several high-salaried employees.
This order effected quite little saving
to the government. Now comes the
sequel, which is highly commendatory
of the character of the postal system
and of the pension office itself. Very
few pension agents are sending in any
lists of papers they forward. When the
pension office has inquired Of some Of
the leading attorneys why they do not
send in these lists in order to have q
receipt for their papers the reply has
been uniform, and to the effect that
long experience has shown that no pa
pers are lost. One pension agent, who
has conducted a large practice before
the pension bureau for great number
of years, said that in his entire expert
ence he had never known of single
case in which one of his papers sent to
the pension office through the mails
had gone astray.
