Advice That was Worth II

II was once slave to the coffee
habit, and became almost a confirmed
invalid by drinking it," says Mr. c. H.
Aitken of Whiting, N. j.
Il tried to break away from coffee
but every time 1 stopped, / suffered
from severe sick headaches and for
relief went back to coffee again, only
in the end to suffer from extreme ner-
vousness and severe bilious attacks.
l became so irritable that l made
life miserable for my family and my
self. Finally / went to New York to
consult a specialist. After thoroughly
questioning me, he said / must give
up drinking coffee as it had greatly
undermined my health, and he further
said that coffee killed more people
than rum. l laughed at him, but he said
it was the truth and that in his prac-
tice he had seen many evil effects from
coffee drinking.
He said it was of no use to prescribe
for me, unless I gave up coffee, and
recommended that 1 use Postum Food
Coffee, which he highly recommended.
He charged me $12 for his advice,
which l thought rather high priced at
the time, but to-day / think ii very
cheap. I bought several packages of
Postum from the grocer and 1t was the
best days work 1 ever did for myself.
] had a pot Of Postum made for my
supper that night; that was in the
spring of 1898 and I have drank IT ever
since with the best of results to my
health. The sick headache and ner-
vousness / suffered from drinking cof-
fee have entirely gone; / am never
bilious and have increased I'm weight;
l have a happier disposition and am
much more agreeable company TO my
family and friends"

RIOT AT KINGWOOD.
Grew Out of n Quarrel in n Lumber
Mill.

Triton, Ga, Nov. 13.-Yesterday
morning, Kingwood, on the T, T. and
G. road near Moultrie, was the scene
of much excitement. For time it
seemed as if a race war would take
place, and both whites and blacks
were arming themselves for the en-
counter. The shops of the t. T. and
g. road are located there, as we'll as
one of the large saw mills of the
Union Lumber Company, and it was
in the mill that the trouble begun
Mr.. j. l.. Youngblood, a young white
man, and Charlie Henderson, a negro
both employed at the mill, had a quar-
rel about some trivial matter, which
brought on hot language. The negro
jerked out a knife and began cutring
Youngblood making three ugly
gashes, one on his face, one on his
back and stabbed him just under the
heart. The negro ran off and went to
a negro restaurant about fifty or a
hundred yards away.
Several white men, hearing of the
difficulty, went up to the restaurant
to arrest the negro. Before they had
time to enter several shots were fired
at them from within. The shots were
returned by the whites, and for several
minutes bullets were flying like a lit
tie war.
After the shooting it was discovered
that Mr.. ]. w. Smith was shot in the
right hand with shotgun. He may
lose his hand. The wound is very
painful, though no serious results are
apprehended beyond the loss of his
hand.
Sheriff Murphy and Deputy Collier
went at once to the scene and arrested
eight negro men and one negro wo-
man and lodged them in Moultrie Jail.
The negroes around the little town
are not yet satisfied, and it is feared
that serious trouble will take place
before the affair is settled

BEGGAR FLUNG A FIT.
Opera House Performance In Front
of Pulaski mt Midnight.

An opera bouffe performance, first
class representation of a man in the
throes of double duck fit, took place
in front of the Pulaski this morning
A one-Iegged man and companion
sauntered up to the door of the hostel
cry. When at an advantageous spot;
where the flood of light from the office
gave an excellent advantage to the
guests of the hotel who were standing
about in the lobby, the one-fegged in
dividual threw his crutch high in the
air, and threw a most pronounced fit
of the hydrophobiatical variety.
He yelled and frothed at the mouth
in first rate stimulation of the real
article, his partner whispering words
of encouragement. Presently the fit
thrower stretched himself at full
length, and lay motlonless before the
spectators. No sympathy was ELECTED,
however, as the knot of drummers
were wise. Finally the fit artist came
to.
An officer, who had been summoned,
took the man in charge. He refused to
arise, saying that he was too weak to
walk. The officer advised him to go
home and sleep off his jag. To this re-
mark the fit-actor took exceptions, and
made at the officer In a mannar which
constrained the preserver of the peace
to believe that the fit had had any,
thing but a weakening effect. The Of
ficer was obliged TO give his man a
stiff punch in the face before he could
control him.
