It is understood that the
Prohibitionists will hold their
Convention before the regular
Democratic Convention is held.
This, tits supposed, is due to the
possibility of the regular Conven-
tion passing some rule or adopt
ing some, oath or pledge which
would handicap the Prohibi-
tionists. Some time ago the
Prohibitionists ran up against such
a snag, and they may be afraid OF
some such thing again and may
want to be the ''early birds" i'll

Awful Crime in Georgia.

Cartersville, Ga., March g.
Details of shocking murder in
Paulding county, twelve miles
from here, is printed in tho News
today.
The victim was young woman,
Miss Nell Mcdowell.
The girl had been reared by
Son Jones, an old man, and his
wife. The wife, it is stated,
charged her husband with giving
too much attention to the girl and
left him.
A neighbor of the old man says
that threats have been made to
report the two to the grand jury.
Sunday night, as the girl was
sitting by the fire, some one stuck
shotgun through the window and
blew her head off. |
Willie Jones, a son of the old
man, has been arrested charged
with the crime. The evidence
against him is circumstantial, but
very strong. The wadding from
the charge that killed the girl was
picked up. It was a piece of news
paper on which appeared part OF
the cut of a chicken. The tracks
of the man who fired the
shot were just the size OF the shoe
woru by Willie Jones. In his
house a double-b e-barrelled, muzzle-
loading shotgun was found with
one barrel loaded and one empty,
The load was drawn and found to
be wadded with newspaper on
which was the balance of the
chicken cut.
What makes the tragedy of more
horror is, according to the infor-
mant of the News, that the girl is
said to be the daughter of the old
man and a half-sister to the man
who killed her.

4 Method According to Nature

The experiments of modern ply
sicians and scientists have
established the fact that many of
the germs of disease enter the body
by the inhalation of air laden with
bacteria or microbes. These germs
are very email but their work is
deadly. Still many of them are
comparatively harmless in health;
but as soon as an organ is diseased
it is attacked. The experimets
of Koch and others have shed much
light upon this important subject
But up to the present time the
culture of bacteria appears to have
met with much better success than
thei destruction. AS we can do
so little to destroy these minute
enemies, is not the most sensible
course to strengthen and revitalize
the system SO that it may repel
and resist their destructive IN
fuence, and does it not seem very
fitting that the revitalizing element
should enter the body through
inhalation of oxygen which is at
once a revitalizer and germicide?
The experience of years and the
testimony of thousands show
Compound Oxygen to be the agent
needed.

pages, with records and

President Kruger is urging his
people to have faith in God.
Addressing a crowd at Bloemfonte-
in, he said: although God is
testing our people, my personal
opinion is that the limit of the
test is nearly reached. If the peo-
pie are are sustained by faith in
the time of adversity, God will
soon again turn the tide i'll our
favor. If We have strong faith in
God. BE will surely deliver US.

Merry Makers Week in Augusta,

Our correspondent in Augusta
writes: Few people outside of
Augusta realize the magnitude of
the coming Free Street Attractions
which the Merry Makers AS socia-
ton will furnish the public during
the week commencing April 23rd
TO 28th inclusive. For several
years past this city has put on the
finest attractions during their gala
|Weeksbut the show of this year
will surpass all past efforts in
every particular.
A brief outline of the attractions
are: The free performances on
four large platforms to be erected
on Broad street where the finest
artist that money and experience
can procure. The Amusement
Committee are now in correspond
ence with Theatrical managers of
the East who are booking their
best attractions for Augusta.
Aside from this one of the highest
class midways will be in full blast
on Broad street. Special atten-
tion ls called to the fact that the
association will allow nothing that
will be Objectionable to the most
fastidious, to be presented.
The display of Fire Works given
last were superb but that word
does not express the magnitude
and beauty of this years show.
Exactly twice the amount of money
expended for this attraction last
year will be spent this season.
The Floral parade will surpass
any like attraction given in the
Southern states. The association
have offered exceedingly handsome
prizes. for the best decorated
vehicles of all varieties and in this
manner furnish all those desiring
to enter into the parade an in
centive to spend both time and
money to make their vehicles
superb. Augusta is noted the
world over for her beautiful women,
therefore, what could present a
more beautiful spectacle than a
parade nearly a mile in length and
each vehicle occupied by one or
more of our beautiful women?
The large number Of laboring
people of this section have signifi-
ed their willingness and desire to
cooperate with the. Merry Makers
and to assure the success of "In-
dustrial Day" the services of Six
Thousand men and children have
been offered. In this grand parade
a majority Of the merchants will
have very attractive Floats thereby
furnishing the show with grand
carnival effect.
Gen. Joe Wheeler, the most
admired and honored man of the
South and the hero of many wars
has been extended an invitation
to visit this city and participate
with the Merry Makers on Military
Day. On this day it is the desire
of the Association to have many
of the state troops to participate

Till we bayonet and mopje
All the Beers off the earth."
So they made their rifles popje
At the Beers on the kopje,
And they rushed up to the topic
Venting shouts Of savage mirth. +.
When, alas, they reached the topic
Of the lofty, rocky kopje
The Beers had the dropje
From the front and left and right,
So the Brltons made f1opje,
With skipje and hopie
And they quit that stony. kopJe
