F. A GRIP

To cure case of grip quickly and com
pletely, use Johnsons Chill and Fever
Tonic. Use il freely. Use nothing else
1t will cure, and nothing else can cure like
the tonic does.
Johnsons Tonic will do more for a grin
patient in twenty-four hours than ouinine
can do in ten days.
Don't neglect a case of grip. It is mean
disease. 1t uucovers every weak spot in
the human body 1t kills more people than
all other epidemic diseases put together.
There is a vast army of silent people who
have halfway recovered from an attack
of grip with all the life taken out of them.
"A neglected case of grip is a bad thing
to have in any family.
Use Johuson's Tonic and it will make il
a perfect cure. 1t acts like charm II
does its work right. Those who take 1t are
permanently cured. Those who refuse to
take it, live to regret it in after years.
1t is a health-giving tonic. 1t is a per-
feet cure for grip. And, more than all
else, it is an unfailing preventive of the
disease.
Recommend it and recommend nothing
else. Use it and use nothing else. Made
famous by an army of grateful people who
have used it.
Prices 50 cents if it cures, and not one
cent if ii does not.
Cedar Bluff, Va, March 4, 1900
Mr.. A. B. Grardeau, Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir-Please hurry forward the tonic
we ordered of you week ago The peo-
pie will all die of the grip before we can
get it. if you do not hurry 1t here Yours
very truly. f. INQUIRE, SON & co.

Two religious papers of New York, the
independent and the Christian Nation. are
at loggerheads respecting the petscnal
rights of the President The Independent
said in recent issue that whether the
President drank wine at a certain dinner
was nobody's business. The Christian
Nation is properly Mortified at the sugges-
ton, and holds to the opinion that il Is
everybodys business whether the Presi-
dent drank or did not drink che wine Ac-
cording to the Christian Nations view,
when a man is elected to the presidency
of the United States he loses very many OF
his personal rights and ought 10 conduct
himself as a model for his people.

TAI REELECTION ADVISED.

There is prospect that some reduction
in the war taxes win be made at this
session of Congress. At the cabinet meet
ing on Friday, Secretary Gage said there
was a surplus of revenue now on hand
of about $53, 100000 and that it would
amount, in iall probability, TO $50, 600 900 by
the end of June He expressed the opin-
ion that the condition of the treasury
would permit of some reduction in the
taxes.
The tax that should be repealed at once
is the stamp tax. There is more COM
plant of that than any other. The great
majority of those who pay it can afford
TO do so, but it is such an annoying tax
that its repeal would cause very general
feeling of relief.
There ought not to be any delay in re-
ducing the revenue. A surplus is a great
temptation to extravaganza. The appro-
priations are certain to keep abreast of
the revenue. If there were a surplus of
SlOO,0OO,OO0 in the treasury, congressman
would not be willing TO adjourn until
they had provided for spending it all. If
they could find no other way of spending
it, they would enact new pension laws, and
appropriate it to pay pensions to persons
who were mule drivers and camp follow
egs Of the Union army during the war of
secession. If some of the Republican
congressman had their way they would
increase the salaries of the employees or
the different departments of the govern
ment, and then assess them to the extent
of the increase for campaign purposes.
Let some of the war taxes be repealed al
once by all means

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Times Qnd) says:
Gen. Wheeler had been long in Congress;
had a devoted constituency that would
have continued him indefinitely, but his
ambition was to prove the loyalty of the
Confederate soldiers to the Union flag and
he was in no sense an ornamental soldier
He always demanded to be sent to the
front, and his record in both Cuba and
the Philippines is quite as heroic as was
his record in our Civil War. 1t would be
only justice TO the number of Confederate
officers who volunteered in the Spanish
war to recognize their patriotic devotion
to a united country, by IGNORING Gen.
Wheeler with retirement in the army as
a brigadier general
The Baltimore Sun Dem) says 1T is
announced that Judge Richard B. Russell
Of the Western judicial circuit, will enter
the race for the United States Senate
against Senator Bacon of Georgia. He is
an able jurist, and is said to have a con-
siderable following. In the meantime SEN
ator Bacon is busy attending to his pub
lie duties in Washington where he says
he will remain as long as his services are
required He says he lis candidate for
reelection and The people of Georgia know
It," In his first term of service in the
Senate Mr.. Bacon has become a national
figure, his ability being recognized by men
of all parties"
The Chicago Record Qnd) says: "Phil-
adelphia now declares II will pay but rs
per cent of the promised donation to the
Republican National Committee. perhaps
on the theory that some Republicans in
Congress thinks 20 per cent. of the prom
Used liberty is enough for the Porto Ri
cans"
The Washington Pest Gnd) says: Gen.
Joe Wheeler says Aguinaldo is not a pa
triot. but Is simply after n big prize. In
other words, the General would have us
believe che measly little rebel Is initiating
! our nnliticians."

ECLIPSE AT WASHINGTON.
Government Officials Are Satisfied With
Results Obtained.

Government Officials Are Satisfied With
Results Obtained.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-The advices
received at the naval observatory from
its agents in various parts of the south,
show that the favorable weather pre-
vailed for observing the suns eclipse
yesterday, that the contact occurred
very close to schedule time and that the
program arranged was carried out with
out hitch. Three parties were sent
out from the observatory, one to Pine
hurst, n. c., in charge of Professor
Aaron n. Skinner; one to Barnesville,
Ga, in charge of Professor Milton Up
degraff, and one to Griffin, Ga, in
charge of Professor Stimson J.. Brown.
Superintendent G. H. Davis of the
observatory was in communication
with these officials by telegraph and
during the day he received the follow.
ing advioes:
"Pinehurst, N. C.-Clear sky and ia
vorable, permitting successful observa-
ton of the eclipse. All II instruments
successfully operated. Contact occurred
very close to predicted time. Corona
very fine. Mercury only star visible.
"A. N. SKINNER"
Professor Updegraff at Barnesville and
Professor Brown at Griffin merely re-
ported that their observations were sue.
cessful. In Washington the weather
was somewhat cloudy. The eclipse ar
rived just few seconds ahead of sched-
ule time, but the irregularity was so
slight that an ordinary observer could
not have discerned it. The trained star
gazers claim that the contact came
from five. to eight seconds before it was
due, but the difficulty of telling just
when the actual contact began was sc
great, because of cloud which passed,
that they cannot quite agree among
themselves. They do agree, however,
that it was one of the most remarkable
predictions in the history of astronomy
it being doubtful if ever before the time
of arrival of an eclipse was so accurately
announced in advance.

Redisooyers Planet Eros.

DENVER, May 29.-While Professor
H. A. Howe was waiting in the Cham.
berlain observatory for the eclipse to
begin, he mrde one of the most import
ant observations of the year, the redis-
covery of the planet Eros. This tin~
planet, which was discovered only two
years ago at the Berlin observatory, has
been looked for since last September,
the time when, according to calcula-
tions, it should emerge from behind the
sun. Astronomers all over the world
have been scanning the skies for it, but
without success. Professor Howe dis.
covered the planet near the first point
of Aries.

MCCOY AWARDED DECISION.
Ryan Then Assaults Referee Hogan and
Unf

Ryan Then Assaults Referee Hogan and
Police Interfere
CHICAGO, May 3O.-Kid Mccoy was
given decision over Syracuse Tommy
Ryan last night at the end of one of the
prettiest six round fights ever seen here.
But over the decision and what Referee
Malachi Hogan claims was misappre-
hension, free-for.all fight resulted and
but for the presence of large force of
police who hustled the men out of the
ring and cleared the hall in hurry it is
probable that the McCoy-Ryan fight
would not have been the most interest
ing thing on the evenings program.
One clause of the agreement was that a
draw should be declared were both men
on their feet at the end of the sixth
round.
Referee Hogan said after the contest
that he had no such understanding and
rendered decision that he thought
was just.
AS the bell rang for the end of the
sixth round, Ryan bleeding at the ear
and mouth from the Kids jabs, but
comparatively fresh, started toward his
corner
mccoy WINS shouted Referee
Hogan. In an instant the hall was a
pandemonium.
"What do you mean?" said Ryan in
amaZement.
Hogan said nothing but climbed
through the ropes.
You're robber," shouted Ryan.
Hogan turned around and just as he
did so Ryan swung his left to Hogan s
face. Quick as flash Hogan returned
the compliment with blow on Tom
my's nose, but before they could go
further the police were between them
The Tattersall's management ad-
mitted after the fight that the draw
agreement was correct. but said Hogan s
decision would stand.
So far as the fight was concerned,
Mccoy, in the opinion of a large major.
ity, had long shade the better of it.
Ryan carried the fight to his man con.
tinually, but the elusive Kid was gen.
orally out of the way, and his lightning
jabs had Tommy bleeding slightly early
in the fight
Ryan shook the Kid up badly, how.
ever, a number of times with right and
left hooks to the stomach and jaw and
was apparently as fresh as his NY. arked
opponent at the finish. 20.
