A Young Methodist Minister of
Augusta
Is Charged With Demanding
81 900 at-a Pistols Point
FROM A MERCHANT
Who, He Claimed, Had Ruined
His Sister.
Merchant Causes the Minister'S s
Arrest-TriaI Is Set.

Augusta, March ia case of more
than unusual interest has been enacted
in this city recently.
The circumstances are said to be as
follows:
Rev. George Meredith, a young Meth
odist minister, entered the dry goods
store of S. G. Hindman and invited that
gentleman to a conference. They re-
tired to the opera house, which is above
the store room. No sooner had they
reached the place than Rev. Meredith
drew a revolver, it is said, and placing
it in Mr.. Hindman's face, exclaimed:
Now, you dirty scoundrel, give me
$1,000 or L will blow your brains out!"
Mr.. Hindman said something about
seeing his banker and thought maybe
1t could be fixed up. Upon this state
ment Rev. Meredith permitted him to
proceed to fix it up Instead, however,
Hlndman secured the arrest of Mere
dith on charge of attempted robbery.
The case was set for Tuesday, but
postponed until the 18th of this month
by Justice McAlister, Rev. Meredith
giving bond for his appearance.
Mr.. Hindman is a pioneer merchant
of this, place and considered a man of
some means, having built the Hind
man Opera House block some years
ago. Rev. Meredith is a son of a well
to do farmer living east of the city a few
miles. The high standing of all the
parties and the supposed cause of the
rash act of the young preacher make
it the more deplora BILE.
AS far as can be learned before the
trial, young Meredith charges Hind
man, who is about 90 or 20 years old,
with maintaining criminal relations
with his young sister two years ago,
while she was attending school in this
city, and the knowledge of what he
supposed to be true, Meredith SAYS,
worried him so as to almost craze his
mind and prompted him to demand a
monetary consideration at the point of
a revolver.
Local opinion seems to be divided in
the matter and nothing can be said
here for or against either party until the
facts are produced at the coming trial.
Whispers of further arrests and impli-
cations of others more or less prominent
in business and social circles are heard.

A COFFEE LIVER.
Peculiar Effects of the Beverage.

Unfortunately I was the unwilling
possessor of a hopelessly torpid liver,
which kept growing more and more
hopeless as the years went by. 1t fin
ally became impossible for me to OBJ
tain sleep at night unless absolute
stiffness reigned.
Living in the city, I was disturbed
many times at night, so that finally
was sent to the country, and there the
least bark of a dog or the sound of a
COW bell, broke up my light repose and
put me into a desperately nervous con-
dition. Matters grew rapidly worse,
and finally eliminated in a severe ILL
ness. When I was convalescent the
doctor positively forbade my using
coffee and recommended Postum Cereal
Food Coffee.
This was a terrible blow, as I was
coffee fiend, but L was weak enough to
be sensible, and so 1 determined to try
Postum, although I went at it very un-
willingly. 1 determined to know that
it was made right, so 1 read the dlrec-
tions carefully and made the first cup
myself. l was amazed at the rich brown
LIQUID that steamed forth from the
coffee pot a luncheon that day and still
more amazed, when upon tasting it,
found 1 had a most delightful beverage,
with a delicious coftee naVOr
1t is needless to say that Postum ap-
peared upon my table from that time on.
AS the days went by, gradually noticed
a change for the better, in point of
health. 1t took some time to recover
from the rack of the nervous system,
caused by coffee, but 1 became more
and more conscious that L was sleeping
soundIy and improving steadily. Natur-
ally my irritability disappeared. l find
myself now with twice, yes ten times,
the ability for enjoyment that 1 prev
iouSly had.
One of my friends upon learning that
had been healed by leaving off coffee
and using Postum, exclaimed and Won
dered how 1 could drink that stuff. -
I replied that we were very fond of 1T
indeed, actually preferring it to any
brand of coffee, whereupOn she remark
ed that coffee was such beautiful clear
LIQUID and had such a delicious taste,
while Postum was muddy and fiat I
saw at once that my friend had failed
to have her Postum boiled properly, and
determined TO give her some good Pos
tum. She is very easily prejudiced, so,
shortly after when she came to visit me
at the lake. 1 asked her to try some
new coffee, and for two weeks l served
Postum to her she believing all this
time that she was drinking a, very high
priced and expensive brand of coffee.
When at the end of her visit I told her
that she had been having Postum
Food Coffee two, and sometimes three
times a day all of the period of her Wis
it, she took the joke in good part and
said, IF that is true, 1 am already a
member of the Postum army and / will
never resign."-Anna NJ Chamberlain,

The Cabinet is unquestionably the best
