Douglas, Ca, May 27.-The COM
mencement exercises of the Southern
Normal Institute OF this city were
opened yesterday with a most able SER
mon by Rev. j. l. Oxford of Atlanta.
pastor Of the Douglas Baptist Church.
The large auditorium was crowded to
suffocation, and for one hour and forty
minutes DIR. Oxford held his vast audi
ence spelibound.
The first train over the Atlantic and
Birmingham Railroad from Waycross
to Cordele yesterday, carried nine load
ed coaches of happy, joyous excursion
lists to Cordele. 1t was beyond doubt
the most orderly and joyous of all ex-
cursions of large parties; not a solitary
drunk or disorderly. throughout the
day.
The railroad authorities had each
coach well Differed, and no effort was
spared to promote the comfort of its
patrons. The completion of this road
is OF great benefit to Douglas mer-
chants and shippers.
On the excursion. three representa-
tive men, one each, for Estill, Terrell
and Guerry, went through three
coaches, and polled 10 voters on the
gubernatorial issue, the result stand
ing, Estill 66; Te@ell, 81; Query, IL.
Estills majority over both, %, and
Ware, Coffee, Irwin and Dooley coun-
ties were of the vote polled.
William Brantley Terrell, the bright
3-year-old childe of DR.. and Mrs. w.
w. Terrell, this morning swallowed
a teaspoonful of FowIer's solution of
arsenic. Mrs. Terrell soon discovered
the fact by seeing him with the bot
tie, and had him hurriedly carried to
his fathers office, where antidotes
were administered, and after five
hours heroic work, the little one is
now pronounced out of danger He
saw his father use some Of the medi-
cine and place the bottle on the man
tel. The little fellow placed a chair
near the mantel. which enabled him
to reach 1t with the above results.

THE OHIO REPUBLICANS.

Convention Meets MT Cleveland To-
day-Leaders Discussed Platform
With Hanna Last Night.
Cleveland, o.. May 26.-With the ex-
ception of Senator Foraker, the Ohio
Republican leaders are all here for the
state convention which convenes to-
morrow. Gov. Nash, the temporary
chairman, Gen. Grosvenor, the pros
pectiVe permanent chairman; Congress
man Dick, chairman of the State Ex-
ecutive Committee, and other congress-
men and leaders, spent the evening at
the residence of Senator Hanna con-
sidering disputed planks in the plat
form. There are different forms of res
olutions on Cuban reciprocity, the
trusts and the tariff but there are no
marked differences of opinion even on
these declarations. 1t is proposed to
oppose all trusts that fix prices against
consumers, but not to oppose such COM
binations as save expenses in produc-
ton. Those insisting on a reduction of
the tariff on industries that they claim
no longer need protection, do not want
to go further than to recommend such
reductions as Congress may see fit to
make without specifying where or how
Congress should reduce the same. Gu
ban reciprocity is the most disputed
point before the platform makers.

WILLARD LEE CAPTURED,
murderer of Miss SuttIes Now In Jaif

Murderer of Miss suttIes Now in Jair
at Atlanta-LOved and Grew Tired
of Suspense of Waiting, said Lee.
Atlanta, May 26.-Millard Lee. the
young white man who shot to death
Miss Lila Suttles IN Wesley Chapel at
Ben Hill, about nine miles from ATTAIN
ia yesterday, was captured this morn
ing by the county police at Mabeltnn, a
little station on the Southern, where it
is supposed he intended to lake the
morning train towards birmingham
The officers surrounded him there and
when he saw he was caught lie quietly
gave himself up. Lee held out his
wrists for the handcuffs, saving:
Il will surrender; take me ana hang
ME as quick as you can"
None of the posses that started af-
ter him from the little settlement got
track of him, so the officers managed to
get him into the city and to Jail with
out any attempt ut lynehlng. A num-
Der of young hot-heads, it appears,
planned to take the prisoner AWAY from
the officers as the train approached the
city, but they were deferred by the de-
termination shown by those who had
Lee in custody as well as by their
weapons. Lee gave VI. his pistol with
out hesitation, and seemed ra Their glad
to get rid of it. lie told the officers he
had intended to commit suicide, but it
seems he became unuerved.
Loved her and wanted to end 1t ALL"
Lee said, in speaking of the matter, af-
ter he had Gained down.
"She did not seem to love ne and I
grew tired of the suspense
Lee declared that he did not intend to
shoot Miss Suttles when he went to the
church, but as he said he loved her so
much that he acted under impulse and
it was done so quickly that he did not
realize the horrible thing he was doing.
Lee begged Stephen Childcess. a far
mer to kill him, just after he had m0r-
dered Miss Suttles, offering him hun
dred acres of land to do it. Lee is the
son of a prosperous farmer in that sec
ton of the county but has always been
sort of vagabond and a ner-do.wen

Bright's disease of the kidneys. At 5
o'clock in the afternoon he began sink
ing, and though everything possible
was done he sank steadily until the
end.
Mr.. Ellis came to Savannah a week
or ten days ago as the guest of Capt.
Eberhardt and made one trip to sea
on the pilot boat ]. H. Estill. The at
tack of Bright's disease came sudden
ly and Unexpectedly, though 1t is prob
able he had been sufferer from IL for
months or years. Several physicians
were called to his bedside, but their
best efforts proved unavailing to save
or even to prolong life.
Mr.. Ellis was an Elk and the mem
bers of the order, notified Of his Illness.
at once assumed charge Of the situa-
ton, doing what they could to make

The CANAL TREATIES
Mr.. MORGAN EXPOSES COLoMBIA's
BUNF1O GAME.
TO UNLOAD PANAMA DEAL.
PRESIDENT NOT TO SELECT ROUTE
FOR CANAL.

Committee Thinks This UnadvisabIe
and Unsafe as a Rule of Govern
ment-Nicaragua and Costa Rica
Agreements Are Satisfa Glory, but
Columbia Is Charged With Playing
for DeIay-By Getting Rid of the
Panama Canal Company She VIII
BE Able to Seize "a Lot of Valuable
Property and viii Unload Onerous
Obligations Upon Us.
Washington, May Ex-senator Nor
gan, from the Committee on Isthmian
Canals, to-day submitted to the Sen
ate the adverse report of that COM
mitee on Senator Hoar's bill placing
the selection of a route for an isthmian
canal in the hands of the President,
which was authorized last week. The
committee opposes the bill on the
ground that it makes no provision for
further exploration of routes and
leaves the President to make a selec-
ton upon the state of facts already
ascertained. 1t also says that however
safely the country may rely on the
wisdom and just discretion of the exec
utive, the policy is not wise and safe
as a rule of government.
The report discusses at length the
protocols with Colombia and Nicaragua
and Costa RIGA, and it is stated Incl
dentally that ex-Colombian Minister
Silva was invited to appear before the
committee, but declined to do so. OF
the agreements with Costa Rica and
Nicaragua it is said that they are def
mite and complete as to the character
and scope of the rights they have
agreed to concede to the United States,
and that if they are ratified nothing
will be left to do but to complete the
details of the arrangements necessary
to carry the agreements into effect.
Colombia is on the other hand charg-
ed with playing for delay.
Would Be Heavily Loaded.
81 It is charged that Colombia, does not
by her protocol propose to sell us the
Panama canal and railroad property
free of all existing claims, concessions
and membranes, but leaves us to
work out a title with the Panama
company. The report adds:
Colombia is anxious to get rid of
the Panama Canal Company without
giving offense to France, so that she
can seize and possess all the plant of
the canal company, all the lands and
houses it owns in Panama, including
the great hospital, the machine shons
and wharves at Colon, all the vast ma
ph inc in Nv INV
the hospitals and the other houses, the
palaces built for deLesseps and his
son, and become the owner of it all,
along with the Panama Railroad,
which reverts to her in 1866.
If this convention should be adopt
90, not only would delay attend the
opening of the canal, but the United
states will assume obligations to the
world that it will be impossible to keep
and relations with Colombia that will
deprive the canal of all value to the
United States, and will make it a
cause of irritation that must involve
the most serious consequences.

PRESBYTERIANS ADJOURN.
NEXT GENERAL ASSEMBLY WILL
MEET AT Los ANGELES.

Southern Ministers Serving I'm the
Same Privileges of Retirement ms
Their Northern Brethren-The Los
Angeles Overture on This Subject
Caused Heated Discussion-No FL
nancfal Inducement for Reunion
to BE Held Out, Said Secretary Az
new.
New York, May 26-The Presby-
terrain general assembly at to-day's
session chose Los Angeles, Cal, as the
place of next meeting.
The general assembly acted adverse
iy on an overture from the presbytery
of Los Angeles requesting that minis
ters coming from the Southern Pres
byterian Church be honorabiy retired
with the same privileges as If they
had served always with the church I'M
der this general assembly. The matter
came before the general assembly on
a report from the Committee on Min
isterial Relief, which recommended adj
verse action.
Rev. William S. Young, d. D., pas
tor of the Emanuel Presbyterian
Church, Los Angeles, advised that the
assembly act fayorably on the over
ture. In the West, he said, there
were many ministers who had come
from the Southern branch and favor
able action by the assembly would
help to bring the two churches to-
gether.
Rev. DR.. Thomas Parry of wilkins
burg, Pa, chairman of the commit
tee, took the opposite view. He said
1t would open the door for ministers
of other denominations to come to the
Presbyterian Church and claim the
same privileges as the ministers who
had served the general assembly all
their lives.
Rev. DR.. Benjamin l.. Agnew of Phil
adelphia, corresponding secretary of
the board of ministerial relief, spoke in
the same vein. He said the result of
granting the demand of the presbytery
of Los Angeles would be that many
of the retired ministers who had al
ways been with the Northern Presby-
terrain Church would have their al
ready scant allowances cut down.
When the Civil War was closed"
he said, II would have been willing
to vote for the union of the two
churches. But / am utterly opposed
to holding out any money considera-
ton to win them over. When they
will come over to us on principle they
will have the same privileges as our
members"
Rev. DR.. James McIlvain of Balti-
more said it would be unfortunate II
the overture did not receive favorable
action. There is no difference with
us between the church-NoTth or
South" he said.
After selecting the next meeting
place the assembly adjourned sine die.

BRUNSWICK AND BIRMINGHAM.
The Line Is still Being Pushed To-
wards Its Goal.

Brunswick, Ga, May 26.-While but
little is being said at present of the
Brunswick and Birmingham Railroad.
which is now running regular freight
and passenger trains and doing a good
business. the road is rapidly pushing
on to Birmingham and is now about
ready to extend its trains to Wayne
county.
Within a month it is expected that
the road will be to Offerman, where
it will connect with the Offerman and
Western, which road it has recently
purchased. This will then give the
Brunswick and Birmingham total of
about 100 miles completed and trains
will at once be put on between Bruins
wick and Nichols, Coffee county.
The officials say that they will then
rapidly forge on to Birmingham and
will, in spite of all that has been said
against the new enterprise, soon reach
the coal fields of Alabama, which was
the intention of the promoters when
the road was first started.

AUSTRALIANS DROUTH
TERRIBLE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS
THERE.
CLIMAX TO SEVEN DRY YEARS.
LOSS OF STOCK SINCE 1850 is $751;
100000.

Lack of Forage for Cattle n Very Sc
riOus Matter-ThOusands of Unem-
pIOyed Men Drifting to the Cities.
Numbers of "sundOwners" and
"Swagmen" Cramps and HObOes),
Found Dead by Wayside-Sheep
Dying by the Million and Even
Rabbits Are Starving-HOrses' Pal
ates Slit to Revive Them With
Their own Blood.
London, May 27.-Cabling from Sgd
ney, N. S. w, the correspondent there
of the Daily Mail gives an account of
the terrible drouth from which, as a
climax to seven dry years, Australia
is now suffering. The correspondent
says that the loss in stock in Austria
liza since 1899 amounts to &15,000,000
($75, 000) Unemployed men are drift
ing into the cities by the thousands
and there the state governments are
providing them with relief.
The only districts that have escaped
the drouth arc the Northern Rivers
district of New South Wales, and parts
of the Riverina district.
The situation has been aggravated
by the federal duties on fodder, which
prevent it's importation. Communica-
ton in the interior has been paralyzed
as the waterways are unnavigable.
Owing to the expense of fodder, the
finn which had the contract has ADAM
doned the hauling of the mail in
Queensland, the cost of this transpor-
tation having risen from 96,000 $780,
600 to 100000 (s150,OOO) annually.
The sheep are dying by the million,
continues the correspondent, and even
the rabbits are starving. Animals have
stripped the barks of trees for food.
The common method of treating ex-
hausted horses is to slit the animals
palate with the knife; the horse is re-
vived by swallowing his own blood.
Numbers of landowners" and "swag-
men" have been found dead by the
waYsides.
The governments are doing every
thing possible to alleviate these condi-
tions, but meteorologists despair of an
early change in the weather conditions.

Valdosta, Ga, May 26.-From tele-
grams received in this city tonight
1t appears that a wholesale lynching
is imminent at Adel, twenty-four miles
north of here, on the Georgia South

Abel, was shot and mortally wounded
by young negro whom he attempted
to arrest last Thursday night. The
murderer escaped, but was captured at
Moultrie on Saturday. Since his ar
rest it has developed that the murderer
was the tool of a gang of six negro
gamblers, who, 1t is said, gave him
IS and a pistol to kill the marshal.
These negroes are under arrest also,
and the people are wrought to a des-
perate pitch of excitement and are
cIamboring for the lives of the murder

DO NOT NEGLECT
THE LITTLE ILLS OF TO-DAY
The Use of
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
Will Eradicate from the Blood
and System the Seeds
of Disease.

AS grains of sand make our lofty
mountains, drops of water the mighty
ocean, and as our massive buildings
are made of one brick piled upon an
other, so do the little ills of life con-
tribute to the building up Of deadly
disease in the body.
Experienced medical men claim that
fully three fourths of our men and
women enter the summer season with
little ills and symptoms Of disease,
which must develop into serious and
fatal troubles if not banished at once.
We hear our friends complaining
daily of rheumatic tendencies, sharp
and darling neuralgia pains, dyspepsia,
pains in the side and back, nervousness
and sleeplessness; and We see with our
own eyes the effects of impure blood
in facial blotches, eruptions, and
sores. The little ills and pains of to-
day build up the alarming and fatal
diseases that follow days and weeks
of neglect.
Wise and intelligent people who have
looked into the claims of Paine's Gel
cry Compound and followed its re-
markable cures of relatives, friends
faith and confidence, to Danish their
symptoms of coming troubles, to
cleanse the blood, to re-establish nerve
force, energy and bodily strength, so
that they will be in condition to with
stand the eneryating effects of. the
coming hot weather.
In every community where Paine's
Celery Compound has been used at
this season to Danish disease, 1t is re-
garded as a godsend. Workers in
offices, shops. factories, and weary and
run down wives and mothers in their
homes have thanked heaven for DR.
Phelps marvellous prescription because
it made them web. Try a bottle or
two We who are ailing and sick; it will
give you what you most stand in need
of-health and new life.
