Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still bas the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce. and
they seldom heard OF appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action OF
the system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You onlv
need a few doses of Green's August

satisfied there Is nothing serious the

Eject of Fear on wounds.

The fear of poison in lacerated
wound under certain circumstances is
In itself quite sufficient 10 give
wounded man tetanus, or lockjaw,
than which no more horrible compiled
tion exists. Thus for long time il
was thought that the natives of the
Solomon and other neighhoring is
lands lately added to the empire used
poisoned arrows and many white men
shot by them died in tetanic convul-
sions, including one very horrible case
of commander in the navy who had
made n special study Of tetanus.
At length the French governor OF
New Caledonia, noticing that the symp-
toms exhibited We're not consistent
with the use of any known poison, ap-
pointed a medical commission to in
quire into the affair. when it was dis
covered that the arrows of the natives
were not poisoned at all, although con
structed I'm such n way that a small
piece of the bone point almost always
remained In the wound. The irritation
produced by this prevented the wound
from healing quickly, and the mental
disturbance produced by fear and per
haps change of climate did the rest.
II was discovered at the same time
that the natives OF other Islands who
firmly believed In the poison theory
seldom suffered much Inconvenience
from the arrow wounds, because they
believed that the spells given them by
their own sorcerers prevented the poi
son from taking effect.-Pall Mall Ca

SOLDIERS PAWN MEDALS.
British BattaIiOns in Bad Shape
in South Africa.

A dispatch to the New York Trib-
une from London says:
Many imperial yeomen who have re-
turned from South Africa are still
complaining that they have not yet
reached their arrears of pay. 1t ap'
pears that in the case of more than one
veomanry battalion no account was
kept of advances made to the rank and
file in South Africa. The war office
authorities consequently cannot tell
what amounts are now due to some OF
the men, and they have decided not to
settle any claims until proper accounts
have been rendered. The affair is oe-
coming a perfect scandal, and is GER
tainly not simplifying the work of the
recruiting sergeant. In some IN
stances the men have been obliged to
rawn the medals (which they recently
received at the hands of the king.

UNCLE SANS GOLD BRICKS.
Poor Trading He Did During the
Spanish War.

AS an investor in gold bricks Uncle
Sam is unrivaled. During the Span
ish war he bought the steamship
OLDHAM for s250,000 spent 100000
more in repairing and fitting her for
sea, renamed her Mcpherson and put
her in the transport service. The
other day he sold her for $500. He
paid about 100000 for another vessel
called the Hartford and rechristened
her Terry, and was glad to set rid of
her for $4,000. 1t is absurd to sup
pose that ships fit to send to sea filled
with American soldiers three years
ago are worthless old hulks today, good
only to be broken up for scrap iron.
Either the government was cheated
shamefully by their former owners, in
collision with dishonest officials, or it
has been robbed by the officials re-
sponsible for the condemnation and
sale of the Transports Philadelphia

GIenn's CRY Is Still for More Money

law, and substitute the contribution
tax. He AYERS that there are thous-
ands of men in the state who would
contribute to this fund if they were as
sured that none of it would 60 to the
education of the negro.
The idea is to inserta question blank
in the tax return blank in which each
tax payer can say how much he will
contribute for the purpose OF education
and directing how it should be expend'
ed. In this way, he thinks, the ne
oroes would be compelled to pay for
their education, thus putting stop to
their education by the whites asst now
Is under the present system.
Under this plan as much would be
raised each year as is now appropriate
cd nv the state, and the beauty OF this
now schedule is that all this money
oould 90 to the white schools, and the
negroes would then only share in the
fund provided in the constitution, Inc
noll tax. the whiskey tax and half the
rental of the Western and Atlantic
railroad, etc.

1t is rumored that the surveyors of the
Brunswick. and Birmin2 ham railroad
are approaching the city from the
Georgia side and are now within few
miles of Cuthbert. In railroad build
ing secrecy as to operations is neces-
sary until the right of way is obtained
and arrangements perfected to put the
road through.
So let US wait patiently, for the road
is coming as fast as it can; it takes
time to get these matters through. The
southern route is the least expensive
and the railroad people know it and all
they are doing now is to find the line
and the right OF way. 1t is coming sure
and the surveyors may be with US at
most any time. So Get ready to greet
them. -

BANK THIEVES PARDONED.
President Seems to Have a Soft
Place in His Heart for Them.

The president seems to have a soft
spot in his heart for bank thieves. He
has made a record for pardoning that
class of criminals. Every once in
while the announcement is made that
this or that convict who was impris-
oned for stealing the funds of nation
al hank has been given his liberty.
A dispatch from Rutland, Vt, says
the people of that town are criticising
the president severely fer pardoning
Charles w. Massey of that place.
Massey was sentenced to the house of
correction for seven years for being a
party to getting from the Merchants
National Bank of Rutland something
over 100000. He had been in that
prison but little while when an, ap-
plication for pardon for him was
made to the president, and to the sur
prise of Rutland people it was grant
