A PLAIN TALK TO
SENSIBLE PEOPLE

There are thousands Of people afflicted
with chronic diseases who have not
known a well day for years, although not
confined TO their beds. They are able TO
be up, but totally incapacitated for work
or pleasure.
/ want TO convey a word OF hope to
such sufferers. You are not incurable, but
you will never be well unless you give
your condition some serious. intelligent
thought and reahze that health is the
most valuable possession to be had, and
that the best treatment is not TOO good
for you.
I have been a specialist for 20 years,
which time has been devoted exclusively
10 the treatment of chronic diseases.
have treated more cases than any other
physician and my patients reside in every
state OF the Union.
I have treated thousands OF cases, and
cured them promptly, which had been I'M
der various kinds of treatment for years.
Every case which comes TO me l find re-
quires some special attention, which no
ready made medicine can reach, and this
explains why q cure cannot be expected
from patent medicines. There is some
thing in medical science which can reach
your condition, and cure you, but special
treatment must be prepared for your own
individual case.
My long experience and acknowledged
skill warrants me in saying that 1 can
cure IS per cent. OF all cases undertaken
1 study carefully every case, and treat IL
on its individual merits. l use no ready
made medicines, and warn you against
the folly of experimenting with so-called
free" samples. many OF which are moth
ing more than poisonous and injurious
stimulants.
If you are afflicted with any chronic
disease, such as Bladder and Kidney Dis
eases, Blood Poison, Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Varicocele. Structure, Lost Man
hood, etc. you owe it to yourself to take
only the best treatment, which is always
the cheapest in the end.
I can promise you the most expert
treatment obtainabae anywhere and can
give satisfactory references both as to my
professional skill and financial standing.

INTERNATIONAL COMMENT.

Brooklyn Times: In 1902 the state of
Georgia holds her next state election.
Among the officials to be chosen will
be Governor. We of the North would
naturally suppose that the contest for
nominations would begin some time
next year, and that the real campaign
would begin, as 1t does here in our own
state, after the two principal rivals
were in the field. Such, however. is
not the case. There is practically but
one party in Georgia. After a gentle
man secures it's nomination, his neigh
bors turn out and make 1t unanimous.
This method. while ii might seem to be
an improvement over ours, which of
ten necessitates cruel and wasting
campaigns, is no gain whatever. For
1t simply means that the fight that
we made during the campaign is made
in Georgia before the nominations are
made. Georgia merely moves her cleo
ton day ahead and calls it primary
day. Then on election day. she mere
ly ratifies what the Democratic pri-
maries have already ordered.
This explains why it is that in Geor-
year have already begun to announce
themselves. Already are they looking
for party support. In manly fashion
that is refreshing after we have been
so often sickened in this locality by the
too frequent refusal of Office by men
who were privately scheming to have
ii thrust upon them, several of these
worthy Georgians have come forth and
declared themselves as standing for the
honorable and exalted place of chief
executive of the most progressive state
of the New South. Prominent among
these is the we'll known Col. ]. II. lSs-
till, proprietor and editor of the Sa-
vannah Morning News, paper which,
since the war, his directing spirit has
built up into one of the strongest
dailies in the nation. AS newspaper
men throughout the country were re-
joiced to hear of the proposed candi-
dacy of h. II. Butler of the Buffalo
News for Mayor of Buffalo, and after
wards for the United States senator
ship, which the Hon. Thomas c. Platt
is reported to have said that he would
not accept again, so should newspaper
men be glad to know of the promi-
nence that a member of their fraternity
has gained in the Empire State of the
South.
Col. Estill has a most excellent rec
ord, as soldier, as business man, as
financier. and as a newspaper man. He
is not yet an old man. at least, in any
thing excepting years. but he has been
an editor and publisher for forty-two
years. His first effort was with the Sa-
vannah Evening Express in 1853, when
he was 10 years of age. He has been
with the Savannah Morning News
since 1866. and sole owner of II since
1865. He began setting type at the
age of IL, and has been a typesetter,
pressman, engineer and fireman, sailor
boy. soldier, street railroad builder, a

sardOu's Romantic Marriage.
From the london Sta


Mile. Sardou, daughter of the drama
fist and academician, was married yes
terday at st. Augustin, Paris, to Comte
Robert de Flers, a member of an old
French family and a dramatist and
critic. The President sent his son, M
Paul Loubet, to express his good
wishes.
M. Victorien Sardou was himself
married under the most romantic cir
cumstances AS a young man he
worked and starved in a garnet, and
disappointment preyed upon his nerves
till he fell Ill. A young actress, Mile.
de Brecourt, took compassion upon
him, nursed him back to health, and
introduced his work to the famous ac-
tress DejaZet, through whom he was
first acted.
Sardou fell in love with and married
his benefactress, whose death, ten
years later, was the one great sorrow
of his life. Sardou has made more
money than any other dramatist, and
he is probably the only man who ever
gave Sarah Bernhard a shaking.
The incident occurred at a rehearsal
and at a period when the divine Sa-
rah was less eminent than she is now
They differed as to the way in which
a passage should be detained and
Sardou, losing him temper, seized the
actress by the shoulder and gave her a
shaking. She retorted by slapping
his face. and afterward challenged him
to a duel!

there because of the labor troubles. j.

days. He succeeded in evading the
Tampa vigilance committee that caught
the other members of that union. He
came here by a steamer that does not
regularly run here, but stops on it's
way to Cuba. 1t is said by those who
are well acquainted with the facts that
the men who were sent from Tampa
were taken to Honduras, and nothing

are endeavoring to make their stay

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of ships
and Shipping.

The little steamer loretta has for
the first time lately to tackle a piece
of freight that will tax her capacity.
1t is a huge boiler to be shipped by
NJ. S. Herman & Bro, to Bluffton, to
be used in the oyster canning plant
they are to establish there. The boiler
is at the Savannah River Steamboat
Company's wharves, foot of Bull
street. The Doretta is tied alongside
the new steamboat Two States, but she
will be brought to the dock to load.
Requiring large room the boiler will
take up about all the available space in
the forward part of the boat.
Work is being pushed along on the
steamboat Two States, which is being
built by Capt. John l.. Graham for
the Savannah River Steamboat Com
pany. Her houses are now being built.
1t is expected she will be ready for SER
vice by Sept. Is. The company is in
great need of another boat. The move
ment of freight over their line has been
such that they have been compelled to
return half way to Augusta to pick
up consignments which could not De
brought down on the regular trips.
The storm in the Gulf has had it's
usual effect in causing a decided stiff
ening in the sail freight market. Yes
sci owners are asking higher rates for
South Atlantic ports on the theory that
the Gulf storm will be followed by an
other on the South Atlantic. Hence
they are unwilling to charter for the
old rate until the possibility of this
storm is over. The demand for lumber
at the North is reported good however,
and the fact there may be urgent or
ders on the market makes it possible
that the advance will be promptly paid,
at least as long as there is any reason
for it.
The bark Njord (Nor), Capt. Hansen,
should have been reported arrived yes
terday instead of the Norwegian bark
Nor.
