FROM CHAIRMAN JONES.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30, 1900.-The Journal,
Atlanta, Ga: With the election week
boff, am confident Mr.. Bryan Will be
elected president. There will be q
landslide in his favor. The issues Of
the campaign are now understood and
the people will doom imperialism, mill
tarism and trusts.
The Republicans are yelling fraud.
They realize they are beaten and are
crying wolf to distract the attention OF
the Democratic shepherds on election
day, 80 they can steal the presidency;
but we will not be cheated out Of the
victory this time. We will watch the
polling places.
Mr.. Bryan's great meetings In New
York indicate his success In that state
and Maryland. Indiana Is ours and Illi-
nois will be won this week by the Ne
braskan.
william J. Bryan will be the next
president. JAMES K. JONES,

FROM CHAIRMAN HANNA.
CHICAGO, Oct. 80, 1900.-The Journal,
Atlanta, Ca: There has never been
any doubt about the result Of the cleo
ton. There is but one issue, prosperity
and Mckinley, and the people of this
country have long since decided how
they will vote. Organism and cheap
money will get another setback one
week from today
The Republican campaign is in fine
condition. There Is not weak section
along the line. We will make clean
sweep through the North, East and
parts of the West. New York, Indiana,
Illinois, Maryland and Kansas are for
Mckinley. His majority in the electo-
raj college will be greater than in 1896.

SOUTHERN MILL MEN
Fear Loss of Chinese Trade Through
 Russian Acquisition.

New York. November 1O.-Forty-five cot ton mill owners in the South, fearing the recent war will seriously change the trade conditions between this country and China, have prepared a petition, which they are sending to Secretary Hay. They fear that Russia will obtain possession of Manchuria and will impose such heavy duties on American goods as to render withdrawal of American interests from that country necessary.
 The petition expresses approval Of the ''open door" policy and expresses the hope that the administration will take such ac- tion as it may deem proper to maintain the protection and perpetuity of the exist ing commercial relations with China, es- pecially as regards Manchuria.
 This petition is signed by eighteen mill owners in North Carolina, twenty-one Tn South Carolina, four in Alabama, one Tn Georgia and one in Maryland. The total capital invested in their mills is Sl4, ,364,5O0 The total number of looms Is 3l,0S9, and the total number of spindles is 1,O72,654'

GREAT CHINA SALE.
A Record-Breaker At Loveman, Jo-
 seph & Loeb's.

A sale of unusual proportions at uhns'h1 prices will be held in the art department of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's Monday morning. The sale embraces stock or china which in variety, quantity and sell ing price has never been seen in Birming- ham before This firm, with the advantages which it has in purchasing, having resident buyers in New York, secured at price which is near one-half the regular price a stock of china that will be offered its GUS toners Monday morning. The day will be memora ble in the history of china selling in Birmingham. It is hardly possible that customers of the house will appreciate be- fore they see what is offered the rare Urea t which Loveman. Joseph & Loeb have se- cured for them. Just think of what you would like to have in choice game sets, fish sets, chocolate sets or individual pieces at the regular price you pay for it, and then go to Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's and get wonderful discount
 The science of selling has become the science of buying. By right buying the articles sell themselves It Is believed no lady in Birmingham who has need for a piece of china but will buy at the china sale Monday at Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's.
 The good things are offered Loveman, Joseph & Loeb because they are the larg- est store in the South, and their customers are the beneficiaries of everything which they secure in discounts.

LYNcHERs CONVICTED.
Killed a Deputy and Were Sent Up
 For Life.

New Orleans, November 10 = William Daniels and Ross Johnson were today con victed of murder at Lake Charles, La, and sentenced to the State penitentiary for life. The case is a remarkable one, since it marks the first instance in this State where would-be lynchers have been caught, tried and convicted.
 On September 27 of this year an attempt was made by a negro at Lake Charles to assault a white woman. The fellow was immediately captured and lodged in jail At night a mob gathered and attempted to break into the prison. The sheriff's depu- ties resisted and during the melee one of their number was killed. Daniels and John son were convicted of doing the killing.

THE CRIME SHOULD
 BE MADE A. FELONY
Austin Discusses the Carrying of
 Concealed Weapons
WANTS A NEW LAW PASSED
Says the Crime Should Be More Than a Misdemeanor-Why the Pres ent Law is Not More
 Rigidly Enforced

Discussing the recent agitation over the carrying of concealed weapons in violation of the law, Chief of Police Austin said
 yesterday afternoon:
 At the next meeting of the Police Com- mission it is my intention to formally re- quest that body to frame new law and attempt to have it passed by the next Leg islature, which makes the carrying of con
 cealed weapons felony. I am of the opin- ion that this will tend to break up this habit. which has resulted in so many shoot ing affrays in and around Birmingham late ly. 1t Is true there are many men who carry revolvers for protection, and who need them, but with a ma iority of the law breakers it is otherwise. These men are willing to run the risk Of paying fine when found guilty, but if the General As sembly of Alabama would pass law mak- ing the carrying of concealed weapons Q felony, I believe it would have whole sale effect. I shall certainly use my ut most endeavors to have such a law passed, and I belive the Polic Commission will as- sist me-
 When asked as to what he thought could be done to enforce the present law against this crime Chief Austin said:
 Tt is quite true that the law Is not en- forced as it should be, but the general pub lie does not appreciate the difficulties un- der which police officers labor. have done
 everything in my power to have the law enforced and the guilty persons punished, but it is a rare occurrence when we arrest a man for carry concealed weapons unless the pistol is found on his person when ar rested for some other crime. We are not allowed to arrest man when we have suspicion that he carries weapon. For if it is proved that he does not carry weapon we are liable to arrest for assault. believe law should be passed giving the police the right to arrest or search every man whom the officer thinks carries con- cealed weapons. This would tend greatly toward breaking up this iniquitous habit" :" Sheriff A. w. Burgin, when asked yes terday as to how the habit of carrying con- cealed weapons might be stopped, took simewhat pessimistic view of the matter q don't see how the matter can be stopped" said he. "We have always car red weapons and probably always will That is, the tougher element will always carry them, and many other men will be forced to carry them for protection. Few people realize the extent to which weapons are carried. 1 suppose it is not an exagger- | ation to estimate it at 5 per cent of the ulation''

It's onset may be gradual, it's develop ment insidious, and at last the victim finds himself in the clutches of a tena- cious disease.
 A slight cold, tendency to sneeze, a puf1ness in the nose, stringy mucous in the throat, slight cough oi wheeziness- any one of these symptoms should be regarded as a warning.
 What can be cured in the beginning in week or two, by using Peruna, if al- lowed to become chronic, may require months of faithful treatment.
 Peruna is the remedy for such cases ; almost everybody knows that by hear say, and thousands know 1t by blessed experience.
 You had better take Peruna now, for by and by you may be obliged to take ii long time in order to get well.
