DR. LIE HARDY HEARD FROM.

@G TAnOI T1EAhO FhSM4
TEE TIMES gives space this morn
ing to extracts from an open letter
written to the editor by DIR. J. C. Lee
Hardy, health officer of. the city of
Savannah. The omitted portions of
the letter were of such character, and
reflected with such animus of unfair
ness on the city of Brunswick that
much harm would be done by their
publication, even if ever SO thorough
ly refuted.
In his reply, DR.. LeHardy makes a
frantic effort to claw himself out of
the hole in which his recent state
ments and misstatements plunged
him.. He seeks to show that because
Marine Hospital surgeon was ad-
mitted to local quarantine station,
therefore local health official should
have free access TO a government sta
ton. The fallacy of the proposition
needs no further demonstration than
its bare statement.
The whole matter, In nutshell, is
this: Officials of the Marine Hospi-
tai service are allowed and required,
by law, to visit and inspect all local
quarantine stations. When, from
such inspection, it becomes evident
! that the station is not being properly
conducted, the Marine Hospital Ser
! vice takes charge of it In the name of
the government. This was the pro-
cess by which the Brunswick quaran-
tine passed from local into national
control. But, on the other hand, no
local quarantine or health Official has
right to visit or inspect national
quarantine station without a special
permit. This was what DR.. LeHardy
sought to do; and this was Surgeon
Burford's warrant for refusing him
the privilege.
The safety and efficiency of quar-
antlne station depends largely on its
isolation. Brunswlck's, therefore, is
safe, allowing no visitors. Savannah's
station, according to DIR. LeIIardy's
own statement, does admit visitors;
"some of the members of the sanitary
board" accompanied the "health Off
Ger of the city of New York;, and were
"shOwn all over the grounds and
buildings. The effectiveness of the
Brunswick station certainly does not
suffer by the comparison. If DR.. Lee
Hardy continues to make such public
showings of the system employed at
savannah, the Marine Hospital SER
vice may feel called upon to seize that
station as 1T did Brunswick's.
THE TIMES readily gives space to
the bulk of the health officers supple
mental observations, and expresses
the hope that, in his next effort, If he
makes any, he will have better success
in explaining away the network of
contradicting facts In which his pecu-
liar personality has become almost
hopelessly entangled.

THE TIMES acknowledges the re-
ceipt of copy of the Dingley bill,
through the courtesy of Congressman
Brantley. Some sweet vacation time,
when the editor has several years OF
leisure before him, he may venture to
read it-but not now, with wheat
chasing itself above the dollar mark,
Andree unplaced, and the news from
the Klondyke keeping one in doubt
whether its gold or grave that the
majority of the prospectors reach.

FOUR LEHARDYISMS.

Or. LeHardy alIudes to Surgeon
BurfOrd as representing Brunswick
AT her local quarantine" The doc
tor must surely know that Surgeon
Burford does not represent the city,
but the national government.
DR., LeIIardy says it took the Theck
In six minutes to run from the last
wharf to the quarantine station. The
Theckla, that being true, is being
unwisely used. She should enter the
racing class and make her owners a
fortune.
DR.. LeHardy says he saw no creek
between Brunswick and quarantine.
Another case Of that optical illusion
that caused him to see vessels in port
that had long before sailed for other
shores.
Or. LelIardy says three sailors es-
capped from Sapelo quarantine and
'rowed to Brunswick" The sailors
alluded to We're captured a short dis
lance from sapelo and brought to
Brunswick by Surgeon Nydegger.

A DIR, johnson Story.

In glancing through the recently pub

Johnson, failed to discover the follow

by a family whose Scotch ancestors
took rise out of the great lexicogra-
pher:

think of our Scotch broth?
DIR. Johnson-Madam, in my opinion
it's only fit for pigs.
Hostess-Then have some more.

The proverb Necessity is the mother
of invention" can hardly be traced to
one independent source The idea was
expressed by Persius, the Roman satirist
about 60 A. D., and is found, in the
precise form now quoted, in Richard
Franck's Northern Memoirs" (printed
IN London, 1894, and in various later
English writers.

limitations than are some of his fellow
workers of the period. At the repeated

quished the task when he perceived that
biographical writing lay altogether out
side his particular sphere of work.

AN OPPORTUNITY LOST.

The colored Mason's home, which
Charlie Clark wanted to locate in
Brunswick, Is to be erected in Amer
icus. The home was attracted to that
city by the donation of six acres OF
land.
This Is another instance of Bruins
WICK sleeping over her opportunities.
Clark brought the matter before the
city council and asked that body ia
donate one or two of the town COM
mons lots as site for the home, which
would bring with it, every year, the
meeting OF The grand lodge in this
CITY. The council referred the mat.
ter to the public buildings committee.
In the meantime, Americus acted
promptly and got the home. 1t is
bad policy for council to refer a pro-
position of this kind, requiring
prompt action, to a committee. Such
reference necessarily entails a delay
OF two weeks-aDd cities are not built
up by delays.

Centuries ago, people used to fear
what they called the pest 1Ience.
''Blsck Death" was the most errible
thing in the world to them. They
feared it as people now fear the chol-
era or yellow fever. And yet taxare is
thing that causes more misery and
more deaths than any of these. 1t is
so common that nine-tenths Of AlE the
sickness In the world is traceEble to
1t. 1t Is merely that simple, common
thing; constIpation. 1t makes people
listless, causes dizziness, hesaaches,
loss of appetite, loss of sleep, causes
foul breath and distress after eating.

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.

Claims to be a BenefactOr to Weakened
Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so OverhOws with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that a resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them of
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vig0r. AS
it costs nothing to try the experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor, without which they continue to
live an existence OF untold misery. AS
the remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what cOmbi-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need,
it would seem that all men suffering with
any form OF nervous WedhuSSs OusnI 10
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
quest to H. @. Odds, Box 1922, Kala-
maZoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use OF the medicine by giving it a trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.

CLERK of Executive Department.
HARD TO DECIDE.
Governor

In the conflict of evidence, Governor
Atkinson finds it hard to determine what
is the truth about the killing of n. Is.
Lanier by Perry.
The governor has spent some time IN
considering Mrs. Perry affidavit, ana
other evidence bearing on the statement
she made. Today he is considering the
dying statement of Lanier, and has sent
for Judge Ragsdale, who was present
when the statement was made
The two statements in the case of the
killing that by Mrs. Perry and that by
Lanier. are in conflict. Mrs. Perry says
Lanier outraged her; Lanier says he did
not. but that at Mrs. Perry's request he
went to find her husband and located him
lin the house at 81 Collins street, ana pc
cause of this he was shot
There are witnesses in cOrroboratlon OF
Mrs. Perry's statement to the extent OF
testifying that Perry said Immediately af-
ter the killing that he did it because La
nier outraged his wife. Lanier in his dy'
ing statement, says that Perry, in the act
of shooting him. declared that Lanler had
Outraged Mrs. Perry.
On the other hand Lanier denied that
he was guilty of any improper conduct
toward her, and reproduced letter
which he said was written by Perry and
delivered to him by Ike Shepherd, in
(Which Perry said Lanier had come be-
tween himself and wife and must leave
Atlanta or take the consequences.
The state introduced an affidavit by n
Mr.. Peters, a kinsman of Lanier, who
says he went to the house of III. S. Perry
on Sunday, the day before the killing,
and asked Mrs. Perry why her husband
was mad with Lanier, and that she told
him it was a secret, Tut said Lanier had
acted perfect gentleman.
Against this is the affidavit of John
cCleskey,a porter at Mr.. Perry's house,
who says he was present when Mr.. Pc
tiers came there, that Mrs. Perry was ly-
ing on the bed.

A HEALTHY BODY AND A CLEAR
HEAD.

If indigestion, constipation and bilious
ness torment the body, the head cannot
be clear These disorders react upon
the brain most hurtfully, and produce a
coudiness in the organ of thought not
experienced by a healthy man. Happily,
these brain-oppressing maladics may be
entirely dispelled by that peerless altera-
tive, HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, which
cheers, refreshes and invigOrates the
brain and nerves, while it regulates the
organs of digestion, assimilation and bill
iOus secretion. 1t expels the morbid hui
mors which poison the system through
the bowels and urinary passages, and
exerts powerful invigorating influence
as we'll Its cathartic action is never
irritating, violent or painful, but even,
natural and progressive. As an appetiz-
er and sleep promoter, the Bitters is I'M
rivalled; it mitigates the infirmities of
age, relieves the ailments peculiar to the
gentler sex, arrests premature decay, and
builds up an enfeebled physique.
