CARD.

To the Editor Of the Register.
Strive desire 10 thank the mem
bers of the City Council who voted TO
give us chance to show that place
that has been run down can be once
more lifted up to be strictly first class
in every particular. When we bought
out the fixtures and lease OF the Glenn
entine.v we did so with the intention
to run it in a legitimate, business like
manner. and we desire to say that we
will carry out that resolution TO the
letter. Our first act was to remove the
stalls that had been erected In the
rear room and place in their stead
tables, where gentlemen only will be
served. II is our intention TO reft the
house from roof to cellar and to cater
TO the trade that Is not disreputable OF
degrading.
We have gone into the business not
for a month or a year. but for num-
Der. and we beg leave 10 say that we
think more Of our reputation and
standing in this community than we
do for dollars disreputably earned.
Yours respectfully,
M'FADDEN & SMITH.

the entire field of operations of the min

the good fellowship evidenced yester-
day by the representatives Of widely
differing trades, yet who had come
many hundreds of miles to unite IN
common cause, and said the result
meant the accomplishment OF great
good. The cause Of the miners had
been shown to be the cause OF Amer

the wage earners Of continent had
been brought closer together than ever
before. He gave many details OF his

and happy because the representatives OF

an earnestness which they rely upon to
count much for them in their struggle.

An effort was made TO secure an express

but beyond stating in general way that
he was exceedingly well pleased with the
conference, he wou say nothing. He de-
clned to discuss the proceedings for the
reason that press committee had been

A Boom For Dayton.

The Douglas mill and reduction works
at DAYTON have been leased by the Peck
Brothers who, as heretofore announced,
have purchased the Douglas ore tailings
deposit east OF the .n,o,i,ll'of Six-nile
canyon. The process, which is known
only to that firm, will be adopted III
working them. The deposit contains
over 500, 900 tons and shows an average
assay value OF 81 per ten.
AS the Peck process is claimed to ex-
tract 9S per cent OF the assay value of
ore tailings the deposits should net the
purchasers nearly $2,o00,O00, allowing
for the discount on silver which predom-
mates in the deposit. The plant for
working them will handle several hun
dred tons daily.
The cost OF repairing the Douglass
narrow gauge. railroad from Dayton. to
where the deposit is located and the ex-
pense OF setting up. the plant it is .esti-
mated will involve the expenditure of
$4,000 and when in full operation will
furnish employment to 60 or so men.
At the rate Of 500 tons per day it will re-,
quire three years TO extract the bullion
from the deposit.

Chairman Jones of the Democratic
National Committee, in recent inter-
view. said: 1.-The platform adopted by
the Maryland Democrats l regard as a
straight out and unequivocal declara
ton for the restoration of bimetallism
as it existed prior to 1873. Hence no
significance can be attached to the
omission of the words at a ratio of 16
to H." Then why, in the name of all
that is reasonable, did the Chicago
convention declare for the arbitrary
ratio ? If it had left out "at the ratio
of 16 to l." great difference would
Mr.. Jones regard the proviso as imma-
terial If he does he has abandoned
the primal contention of!the free-silver
party. 1t he is now in favor of the
commercial ratio-and that ratio was
close to the legal ratio prior to 1872
he has abandoned the very doctrine of
an arbitrary ratio, which, having been
adopted at Chicago in 1896. caused the
tremendous Democratic loss and made
all the trouble. Mr.. Jones, in common
with other free-silver advocates, was
warned not to recommend 16 to 1, but
he and they insisted that the Chicago
platform should so declare. Now he
says that no significance is to be at
tached to the omission of the phrase
from Maryland platform. What a
blessing it would have been to the
Democratic party if he had thought SO

WHY 1T HAS OUTLINED
ALL OTHERS.
The People Have Judged the Copeland Practice Results by the Character the es
the Most Dangerous Diseases Are Only Detected the Skill Really Great Physicians
AeSSOn for Those Who Trust Their Lives Inferior Doctors and Patent Medicines

To the people the danger from a
given disease is measured by the pain
and annoyance that it gives while the
fact is that often the most dangerous
and fatal illnesses are marked by the
mildness of their beginning and their
comparative freedom from pain and
annoyance. On the other hand the
least dangerous Affections often cause
distress far beyond their gravity.
The test of a doctors skill depends on
his ability to distinguish fatal disease
before it has secured such a fatal hold
the patient as to be hopeless. Ability
used at such time will cure. 1t all
depends in such cases whether the
proper doctor is consulted. If doctor
without ability or patent medicine is
relied on the most dreadful results are
liable to follow.
The people see doctors and medicines
with big reputation falling out of sight.
while the fame of a few doctors con-
tinues to increase, and sooner or later
the people learn that those doctors and
advertised remedies who fail and d S.
appear lack the necessary merit that
survives the test of time.
The reputation of the Copeland prac
tice has lasted through years because
of the ability of its physicians to dis
tinguish disease, together with the
necessary knowledge properly applied
to make cures.
1t is by the superior quality of the
Copeland practice that it has continued
while other practices have had their
dav and then disappeared from public
notice The majority of all those who
have given voluntary tribute to the
skill of the Copeland practice had run
the gauntlet of patent medicines and
inferior doctrs. To them the Copeland
treatment was the court of last resort.
They had wasted the time when cure
was easy and had sought skillful treat
ment at Or. Copeland's hands when a
cure was difficult. Still the cures in
such cases are numbered by hundreds
With all this tribute to superior skull
the one tenth has not been told. These
terrible cases that meant consumption,
cancer, dropsy, total deafness which
have been checked, have not nor ever
will be told, for those thus snatched
from danger were often not aware
themselves of what had been accom-
plished in their cases.

DYSPEPSIA AND NERVOUSNESS.

MEL BRANCH'S MELONS.

Attracting Attention at the Nashville Gem
tenniaI.
In passing through the Georgia rail
road exhibit at the terminal building
in the centennial grounds, this morn
ing, the writer stopped before a new
exhibit, consisting of four magnificent
rattlesnake melons from the farm of
the bon. M. 1. Branch, near Berzelia,
Columbia county, Ca, and adjacent to
the line of the Georgia road. Many
melons are to be seen in Nashville !;
many fine Kolb Gems are on exhibit
from Alabama; but nothing like these
great striped beauties have yet been
shown.
In size they are superb, but the chief
glory of these melons lies in the ex
IRENE delicacy of favor and in the rich
and luscious color of the fruit, surpas-
sing as they do even their great rival
the Kolb Gem, whose value is lessened
when compared to the rattlesnake by
the coarseness of its meat.
The grower certainly deserves I'M
stinted praise for the handsome speci-
mems which he has sent, and they add
very materially to this already fine
exhibit. On all sides we hear it from
the visitors, "Oh, they are real Georgia
melons," and they are correct, for
Georgia has long held the Banner for
producing the finest melons grown in
this country. and the visitor from the
north and west who have been so often
deceived into purchasing an inferior
quality of melon masqueradipg under
the name of Georgia has often express
ed surprise at seeing no specimens of
Georgia's banner fruit on exhibit, and
to Mr.. Branch is due the honor of sat-
isfying this desire. So well has he
done it that with difficulty can the
melons be kept on exhibit, so eager
are our friends to explore the hidden
depth of this luscious fruit and feast
on it's delicate interior. On inquiry we
find that seventy acres of melons have
been planted this season near Berzelia,
Ga, of which Mr.. Branch has forty-five
The melon industry has never been
carried on extensively on the line of
the Georgia railroad, and until recent
ly no effort has been made to raise for
ship ment, the farmers growing them
only for home consumption or for the
the local market; but the soil and eli
mate are both admirably adapted to
their successful production and more
attention is now being paid to their
growth for mark et.-Nashvill Banner
