JESUP JOTTINGS.
County Commissioners Have Decid-
ed to Build New Court House.

Jesup, Ga, Oct. 9.-The fall term of
the Jesup public school has opened
with a large attendance, in charge of
Prof. j. L. Birdsong, as principal. The
school is occupying the new brick
building, which has just been COM
pleted, and it is expected that this will
be the most prosperous year the school
has experienced.
The county commissioners have de-
cided to build a new court house at
Jesup. for the county of Wayne. to
cost $4,000. Bids will be advertised
for at once, and work begun OH it as
soon as possible.
The great trouble is that there are
no dwelling houses to rent. and many
families are kept from moving to the
town on account of not being able to
get houses to live in, and if
some one would come forward
and build some nice cottages,
it would bring them in a nice
interest on the money invested Both
banks seem to be doing a good BUSH
ness, and all the merchants are having
a good trade.
The Jesup Mercantile Company have
secured the services of j. N. McGillis
of Savannah as manager.
Mr.. j. G. Shepard is having the Mas
sey building repaired, and it will be
used as a hotel and boarding house.
The Jesup Mercantile Company are
having a large warehouse built, hear
the railroad, in the east end of town
and the Atlantic Coast Line are having
the freight office and warehouse en-
Iarged, to accommodate the increased
business of the place.

CUBAN SITUATION.

Washington Officials Said to Feel
Much Concern Over Islands Indif-
ference.
Washington, Oct. 9.-The situation as
to Cuba is such at present as to give
the officials here great concern. 1t is
feared that Cuba is drifting away ard
evidence is multiplying day by day 10
mark the growth of a spirit of indif-
ference toward the cultivation Of
friendly commercial relations with the
United States that almost borders en-
hostility. The best efforts Of the state
Department thus far have failed to Sc
cure the adhesion of the Cuban govern
ment to the treaty, which, by the terms
of the Plat amendment, must be en-
tered into between the two govern
ments. That treaty is now awaiting
the approval of the Cuban govern
ment, which approval is withheld
through what is regarded here as the
natural inertia of the Cubans in diplo-
matte matters.

A NEW TEXT,
Southern Preacher Gives Food for
Thought

Coffee works in many different and
unsupported ways Mr.. e. L. Wesson
pastor of Baptist Church of Cards.
Miss, writes:
Il loved coffee from my infancy. and
never knew OF 1t hurting me until
was 81 years old. l suffered with head
aches If forced to do without and
sometimes used it three times a day.
but headache had been one of the Ills
OF our family, and therefore I Thought
1t was an inherited evil for which cor
Zee was a special remedy, but about
nine years ago, 1 began to suffer from
sleeplessness. which continued until 1t
seemed as if my nerves would wreck
LOT want OF sleep, and yet Iscould not
sleep.
"A friend suggested that quit cof-
lee except for breakfast which I did.
and so found that | could sleep a little
better, but my headaches continued.
and my nervous system would some
times seem as If the very fibres of my
nesh were moving within me- It went
on until three years ago l began to
suffer at night with an itching sensa-
ton on my limbs below my knees and
on my arms below the elbows. and
sometimes all over my body, but there
was no eruption on the skin; the flesh
was smooth and white. / consulted
several good physicians, but with no
avail
II had no idea that the coffee drank
in the morning caused it, but finally
decided to stop coffee for a while, and
try Postum Food Coffee. Wife made
It according to directions, so that I
liked 1t equally as well as coffee. I had
no idea that it would relieve the awful
itching deep down in my flesh, but
thought would try IL to see IL there
was any virtue in it. l had used it
only few days, when l discovered
that the itching was not so severe
When l had used it ten days, my wife
said, What is the matter with you?
You do not seem to be troubled with
that itching sensation told her that
did not know what was the cause,
but / knew that l was not troubled
with the itching any more and was
thankful for 1t.
II then went over to preach in an
other town, and while there drank
some strong coffee. and the itching re-
turned. When / came back home /
commenced using Postum again, and
the itching ceased Then decided that
coffee in some way produced the Itch
ing. / drink Postum three times a day,
and rest as well as I ever rested, arid
never have headaches any more. ] be-
iieve that hundreds of preachers who
suffer from indigestion, nervousness
and worry. would find rest and health
il they would quit coffee and use Pos
tum."

TALKED HIS LOT AWAY.
Deed Recorded in Curious Connect
fcut Real Estate Deal.


fcut Real Estate Deal.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Bridgeport, Conn.,, Oct. There was
recorded in the town clerks Office in
Stratford to-day warranty deed from
Thaddeus E. Peck to the trustees of
the Methodist Church for a tract of
land, 80 by 100 feet, located in the rear
of the church property.
Behind the transfer Is a story of a
strange compact The Methodist
Church Society have been wanting the
land for years, but have never been
able to induce it's owner to sell. A
short time ago the owner, Thaddeus
Il. Peck, agreed to sell IL to the church
for $3.50, and to take the amount out
in a series of lectures which he was to
deliver, and TO pay for the privilege
at the rate of $40 an hour, the proviso
being that Rev. Royal w. Raymond
the pastor, was to be the sole auditor,
and the discourses were to take place
in the church. The pastor accepted
the conditions.
Mr.. Peck is the town philosopher, ag-
nostic, chemist, inventor, and when
occasion allows, an expounder. He is
known as "Thad the Tedious" so the
action of the pastor was regarded as
modern martyrdom. Mr.. Peck gave
out. in an interview, that it was easier
to convert one man than a dozen. on
the theory of concentration, and that
one man could convert another, and so
by this endless chain scheme the en-
tire religious world would be converted
in rationalism, nature and truth
Mr.. Raymond listened to the fourth
discussion last week, and got receipts
amounting to 1920. The Methodist So
ciety is to pay the remaining $50,
which Mr.. Peck is going to spend on
banquet Mr.. Raymond says that
neither his religion nor his theology
has been shaken by the eleven hours
of discussion.

THE COLD STORAGE BODIES.
indianapolis Authorities Connect
Them With Recent Grave Rob-


berries.
indianapolis, Oct. "a party headed
by Detectives Asch and Manning went
to Louisville this afternoon to idend-
fly, if possible, some of the bodies
found in a cold storage room in that
city last night. 1t is thought that
some of the bodies stolen from Indian
apolis cemeteries. which mysteriously
disappeared from the colleges here,
may be found there.
Attorney Connaway goes in the in
terests of his clients, Rufus Cantrell,
Walter Daniels and several other
members of the grave-robbers' gang
under arrest in this city. He
expects to show that the
negroes were not alone in the work
of robbing graves, and that they were
Influenced by physicians. Rufus Cam
trell was taken again to the Mount
Jackson Cemetery by detectives to-day.
He said he could show that collins were
buried in the place without bodies.
One of the graves was opened. Be
fore reaching the coffin Cantrell said:
Now you will find the glass broken.
1t is trick of the undertaken to make
it appear that the body was stolen
from the grave
The coffin was empty and the glass
was broken. The coffin was a cheap
affair, and the opening where the glass
had been was not more than eighteen
inches wide. The lid was securely
fastened.
A dispatch from Alexandria, Ind,
says the authorities have information
that will appal the people about Alex
andria, Paramount and Summitville,
and leaves no room to doubt the
ghouls' statements that many bodies
in those sections have been stolen. 1t
says an Alexandria liveryman and a
physician are implicated in the work
of robbing graves. A systematic in

REPORT WAS AN ERROR.
Mexican Government Has Not As
sumed Supervision of National

Laredo, Tex, Oct 9.-The report sent
out to-day stating that the Mexican
government had taken possession of
the National road and would supervise
the running of trains over the entire
system, was given out by Capt. Thorn
as Dodd, attorney of that road. He
was, however, mistaken. with the ex-
ception that the military has been or
dered out to guard trains and depots
on that portion of the road where the
strike is on.
Traffic on the Texas Mexican and
National is tied up tight and no effort
has been made to handle the freight
which has accumulated since the in
auguration of the strike. No passen-
ger train has gone out for two days.
The officials of the railroad compa-
MES have called upon Gov. Sayers for
further protection and have asked that
a company of state rangers be sent
here.

that his success was due to taking the
public into his confidence. He adver-

any misrepresentation of his goods to
be made BY his clerks, he gave his
patrons the benefit of concessions he
received from manufacturers and let
them know 1t, and he invariably
gave the qualities he advertised. This
practice based his business on the faith
of the public in his statements and
placed him practically beyond the
