eABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
"At the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plicaticns that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, l began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. / also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. S. S. WRoTEN, Farming

ATKINSON MAY LECTURE.
Governor to Prepare an Interesting
Talk on Mexico.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 4.-Gov. Atkinson is
going upon the lecture platform. He has
not said that he intends to make this his
profession after retirement from the exec
utive chair. but if conditions should be
inviting he might. He will make his maid
en- effort in the near future, and much
may depend upon this
The Governor is a good talker in his
chosen field which has heretofore been
politics, and it may be that the political
speaker will develop into an attractive
platform star. His recent trip to Mexico
furnished the Governor with material for
a good lecture. and he intends to make
use of it in that line He has received a
request from the citizens of Senoia to de-
liver his lecture on Mexico there for the
benefit of a Baptist Church building fund
and the request will be granted. No date
has YET been fixed for the Governors mi
tial appearance, but this detail will be ar
ranged by the Senoia people later on.
Gov. Atkinson will not attend the quar-
antine convention, to be held in Mobile
next week. He wished very much to go.
but cannot because of the meeting of the
convention of business men of the state
to be held here on the 10th to discuss the
exemption of manufactures from munich
pal taxation. He will preside at this con-
vention which will be of too much i'm
portance to the state to be missed. Had
the Governor been able to attend the quar-
antine convention, he would have protest.
ed against a national quarantine in line
with his late veto message declaring such
a law inimical to the state right idea.

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of SIeepIesSHess That Can
he Readily Overcome.


Mr.. VIM. Handschu Of 18th St. Cotton
alley. Pittsbstrg. Pa, expresses himself as
follows regarding the new remedy for that
common and obstinate disease, piles: Il
take pleasure in stating that 1 was so af-
ficted with piles that for three months l
got no regular sleep; became completely
Frustrated, the doctors did me no good;
my brother told me of the new remedy for
piles, the Pyramid Pile Cure; I purchased
from my druggist three J1-cent boxes and
tney completely cured me. l am once
more at my work and but for this excel
rent medicine should be on my back. l
take great pleasure in writing this letter,
because so many people are sufferers from
TINS trouble, who. like myself, did not
know where to look for a permanent, re-
liable, safe cure"
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
in the past three years has demonstrated
10 the medical profession, as wei as to
thousands of sufferers from piles. that it
IS the safest and most effectual pile cure
ever offered TO the public, containing no
oplates or poisons of any kind, painless
ana convenient to handle and being sold
by druggists at 80 cents and 81 per box, is
within the reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes have
made complete cure of chronic cases
that had not yielded to other remedy for
years.
There is scarcely disease more aggra-
Natlng and obstinate TO cure than the va
rlous forms of piles, and it is a common
practice TO use ointments, salves and sim
llar preparations containing dangerous
poisons to remove the trouble. The Pyra-
mid has Superseded all Of these Intellectual
remedies and no one suffering with any
rectal trouble will make any mistake in
giving the Pyramid a trial
III doubt as tbp paflIra Of ttOy1r
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Com
pany, Marshall, Mich. for a valuable little
book on piles, describing all forms of the
disease and describing the method of
cure. ~ 80
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure, as it is the best known and
most popular remedy for piles and if you
ask him he can doubtless refer you to
many people in your vicinity who have
been cured completely by it.

Inmates from Savannah.
Washington, Ga, Feb. A fire broke
out in the Catholic orphanage buildings at
midnight last night which consumed the
dormitory where the orphans slept, chapel
and several adjoining buildings.
The orphans were all rescued by the
prompt work of Father OBrien. and sew
eral persons who quickly arrived on the
scene.
The fire originated in the woodshed.
The loss is estimated at from $4,000 to
$I2.OOo
The beds bedding and clothing in the
bOys dormitory were destroyed with the
building.
The chapel and the school room. with
their furniture were swept away, together
with number of out houses.
Nothing was saved except the old house
in which the sisters lived, the two-room
cottage which Father OBriend occupied,
the wind mill and tank,
The insurance on the whole amounts TO
only 5000.
Father O'Brien hopes that his friends,
and the friends of the institution will come
to his help and assist him to
replace the wooden buildings with
substantial brick ones. All his twenty
years work has been swept away in
night
The boys In the institution are all small,
the number of them being about fifty. The
weather was cold and consequently they
suffered considerably, they having escaped
in their night clothes. 1t is understood
that only few of their clothes were
saved.
The boys are being sheltered in the con-
vent. AS many of them are from Savan-
nah, Father O'Brien expects that some
assistance will be forthcoming at once
from the friends of the boys in that city
and of the institution. The boys need all
kinds of clothes suitable for them. Faith
er O'Brien has worked hard for the up
building of the institution, and he is a
tower of strength in the present emer-
gency, but he must have a good deal of
help al once.

GRIFFIN,s COTTON MILLS.
business So Good That an Addition
or New Mill Is to be Built.


or New Mill Is to be Built.
Griffin, Ga, Feb. 4.-The success of the
two large cotton mills in Griffin has been
phenomenal. They have been enabled to
compete with any mills in the country as
to style and quality of goods, and the re-
suit is they find il impossible to keep up
with orders after running on full time ev-
cry day of the year.
To meet the increasing demand for the
goods manufactured by these mills the di-
rectors have decided to at once more
double the capacity of the Kincaid mill,
or build another mill near that plant. The
stockholders of these mills own land
enough surrounding the Kincaid
mill to erect several more mills,
hence the plan may be to build
another mill instead of enlarging
the present plant The proposed extern
sion or building of this mill will require
an investment of from S125,O00 to $4,000,
and the work will all be done by the time
another crop of cotton is gathered
Many business men of Griffin fully real
ize what this vast improvement in the cot
ton mills means to the business of the
city, and they will hail with delight the
announcement that dirt will be broken and
active work begun on the new mill in less
than sixty days.
When it is remembered that the. recent
expenditure of $50 Do in enlarging the
plant of the Griffin mills and the inmedi-
ate investment of a similar amount in in
creasing the output of the Kincaid mills
is all done by home capital and made by
the stockholders of the two mills, a proper
conception may be formed as to their sue
cessful and profitable management. The
goods turned out by these mills are net
surpassed by any mills in the land. and
are equaled by but few. Hence the neces-
sity of increasing the output. Located, as
they are, in the heart of the cotton grow
ing belt they can dump the cotton bales
from the presses of the farmers almost
within the doors of the factories, thus saw
ing freights, drayage, wharfage, stealdge
commissions etc. which alone will fur
nish a good margin for profits.
1t is the aim of the directors of these
mills to build new mill every five years
With this plan carried out for twenty
years. as it has been the past ten years.
Griffin will be the Lowell of the South and
her fame as a manufacturing city will be
known and recognized throughout the
aland

Georgia, has placed his resignation in the

clare they are right and at the proper
time will present their side of the contro-

SHOT DEAD IN A DARKROOM.
White Man Kills "A Negro Who
Crowded Between Him and n stove.


Crowded Between Him and a stove.
Augusta, Ca, Feb. 4-There was a kill
ing in a barroom in Augusta tonight,
which seems TO have been without justi-
fication, if not without provocation.
The barroom is run by f. Y. Morris,
on Upper Broad streetand like many 9TH
ers in the city, admits both whites and
negro customers.
Tonight several men were in the bar
and three white men were standing near
the stove. Ben Mobley was one of them
and he was standing with his back TO
the fire, when a negro named Henry Free
man walked between him and the stove.
Mobley spoke sharply to the negro about
crowding in between him and the stove,
and, according to The bystanders, Free
man promptly withdrew and said he had
not intended to get between Mobley and
the fire. He walked back to the bar
counter and Left the white men at the
stove. 1t is stated that Mobley continued
to fuss about the negro brushing against
him, and after little while walked be-
hind the bar, seized a pistol that was
there and began firing on Freeman at
close range across the counter. The ne
gro. after being shot, pulled a pistol him
self. but sunk to the floor helpless, as he
fired the first shot aimlessly into the cell
ing Mobey fired four shots and the ne
gro was killed. Mobey was jailed.
The only difference between Mobley's
statement and that of the negro bystand-
ers is that when he spoke to Freeman
about coming between him at the stove,
he said, insolently, IF you don't like it,
I'll fix you when you come out of here"
The white men who were with Mobley
at the stove ran out as soon as the shoot
ing began and their statements have not
been secured, but the negroes who were

from Freeman. but. on the contrary, he
disclaimed any intention TO offend and
promptly left the stove and went back to
the bar, when Mobley spoke TO him.
Mobley is a carpenter and single man.
The dead negro was driver of a delivery
wagon for store, and leaves a family.
The two men had had no previous diff

MAKING DUPEs OF NEGROES.
Man Who Promises Ex-Slaves PEN

Macon, Ca, Feb. 4.-Considerable ex-
element prevails in East Macon. Negroes
are gathering for miles around, and by
night probably several hundred will be at
the place. A negro has been here some
time claiming that he can secure pensions
for ex-slaVes, the same scheme having
been worked elsewhere. 1t is thought that
serious trouble may result when the man
is denounced, which some of the more in
telligent negroes propose to do. Old ne
groes are terribly in earnest, and believe
that they will get their pensions. They
think that the younger element is trying
to keep them out of their rights A big
meeting is being held tonight. and hun
dreds of negroes are subscribing their
names and contributing small sums to the
promoter of the scheme.
