ORTIZ STEIN SELLS OUT.
Editor of the Looking Glass Going
Into a New Venture.

Atlanta, Ga, April n.-Orth H. Stein,
the editor of the Looking Glass, the sem
sational weekly that has caused its man
ager so much trouble Of late, has severed
his connection with that paper to embark
in a journalistic enterprise of another
character.
Stein has, during the past few weeks,
been the victim of several personal as
saults by persons with grievances against
his paper. The last assault occurred In
the Kimball House dining room, and al
most cost him his life. Judge John ID.
Berry of the City Court of Atlanta, was
his assailant. On account of the attack
of STEMS paper on society, movement
was formed to boycott and force him to
leave town some months ago. The editor,
by the assaults upon him and the condem-
blythe assaults upon him and the condem-
nation society has visited upon his paper
in giving 1t up. 1t is merely matter of
business. he says. T. C. DeLeon, a we'll
known author and newspaper man, has
bought STEMS paper and will continue its
publication.

increase. In that way the government is
adding to its already enormous store of
gold, and the probabilities are that be-
fore the end of the month unless some
extraordinary emergency arises the gold
in the treasury will be found to amount
TO as much as two hundred millions.
Another indication of the plethora of
gold and of the perfect faith of the finan-
clal and commercial community in the
ability of the government to maintain the
gold standard Is to be found in the fact
that not one of the fifty millions of clear
ing house certificates issued since the list
OF last October have been presented for
redemption. They are all either In daily
use or else are kept in the vaults of the
bank and are counted as so much gold 1t
should be said, however, that some of the
gold which our banks held outside of that
which is in the clearing house is not ac-
tual coin, although counted In bank state
ments as coin. 1t Is in gold certificates is
sued by the treasury department SOME
years ago, and against which a CORE
spending amount of gold in the treasury is
held.
This condition Is an unprecedented and
wholly unexpected one. 1t is another
one of those remarkable features which
nave been developed in the past year
showing that some great change is in
progress, altogether advantageous TO the
United States, and whose full import
would be clearly understood this spring
II 1t were not for the dark shadow which
the war cloud casts over the entire COM
mercial and financial community.

GAMBLER AT zEBULON.
He AIIudes to the Recent Meeting of
Berner and Atkinson.


Zebulon, Ca, April 11.-Col. A. d. Cand-
Ter, candidate for Governor, reached the
city last night, and to-day addressed a
crowd of at least 1000 Democratic voters
at the court house during the noon recess
of court. He was introduced by F. M.
Stafford.
When he arose to speak he was, greeted
by tremendous applause from the specta-
tors. He incidentally referred to the con-
ference held by Messrs. Berner and Atkin-
son In the rooms of the Macon Telegraph,
and said that there seemed to be a capital
understanding between them. Col. Cand-
Ter said that it was understood that this
paper was owned by the Southern Rail-
way
He also alluded to the fact that none of
the gold papers are supporting him. He
spoke of this as a significant fact, and said
that Mr.. Berner had never been heard to
say that he was in favor of the coinage
of silver at the present legal ratio. He
said that Georgia had never elected but
one bachelor Governor, and that he died
before his term of office was half out,
and that he didn't want Mr.. Berner to die
for he thought the party might need him
when he fully matured.

after unusual delay, spring-time has come
at last, and now Is the time for all ca
tarrh sufferers to begin a systematic
course of treatment for this disease. The
greatest difficulty i'm the way of treating
chronic catarrh is that the patient is la
BILE to catch cold during the treatment and
thus delay a cure. This liability at this
season of the year is in a great measure
removed, and no one should neglect the
opportunity to be given treatment.
Spring fever" as it is sometimes called,
which produces tired-out sleepy feeling
and inability to do much mental or physi-
cal work, is the result of sluggish diges-
ton and no blood medicine will be of any
use whatever unless it is able to rectify
the impaired digestion. The great popu-
larity that Pe-ru-na has is due to the
fact that in all such cases 1t at once cor
reefs digestive arrangements and enriches
the blood by purifying this very impor-
tant source of that vital fluid. Mr.. Eph.
Sells of the Sells Bros circus and me-
nagerie, writes as follows: your Peru
ma is certainly one of the very best tonics
that was ever brought to my attention.
1t produces an even and natural appetite,
aids in digestion and produces sound and
refreshing sleep. l would not be without
1t for any money

JOINER HELD FOR MURDER.
Would Probably Have Confessed hut
for His COunsePs Advice.

Macon, Ca, April 11.-Henry Joiner is in
Bibb county jail, charged with the crime
of murder. The coroner's jury, after hear.
ing the evidence, returned a verdict that
Yon came to his death from wounds in
flicted by sharp instrument in the hands
of Henry Joiner. and that the same was
murder.
Joiner's lips were sealed by his counsel
otherwise it Is believed he would have
made a clean breast of the crime this
morning. His own family were the prin-
cipal witnesses against him. His face and
neck are scratched and bear evidence of
Yon's struggle to ward off the knife
thrusts of the assassin.
When Joiner reached home his clothes,
face and hands were bloody, and he told
his family that he had stabbed a highway
man, but denied this afterwards. His con
flicting stories tend to fix the bloody crime
upon him.

No play OF this century has created
such a Juror as has the new play which
Richard Mansfield is now presenting at
the Garden Theatre in New York CITY,
entitled Cyrano de Bergerac. 1t has
brought international fame to its young
author, Edmond Rostand, who is only
thirty-one years OF age. If you go to
New York and want to see "Cyraho
(and who does not,) YOU must purchase
your theatre tickets at least week
ahead, as people are being turned away
at each performance, even though the
play has been running nightly tor
over two months. This justly cele-
brated play, which is pure and elevatlnS.
pointing to Il high moral, has thrilled
into enthusiasm, not only America, but
France and England as we'll. You may
not be able to see the play. but you can
read the story if you desire, as the
opening chapters will begin in an early
issue OF the .Sualy South. published at
Atlanta. Ga. Be sure and do not miss
this story. or you will be trying to buy
it in book form later on.
