It is Time to STOP.

A decision rendered by the comp
troller Of the treasury that navy funds
cannot be used to entertain Congress-
men or other officials invited by Sec
retary Moody to witness the coming
manoeuvres has doubtless spoiled q
pleasant outing for some distinguish
ed statesmen. The comptroller was
once Congressman and, therefore,
knows thing or two about junkets,
and the cold, distant manner with
which he intimates that be does not
see that any good will inure to the
navy from the presence of the Can
gressmen gives rise to the suspicion
that he is laughing in his sleeve while
he digs Mr.. Moody's would-be guests
in the ribe.-Baltimore News.

A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
a remarkable record. It has been in
use for over thirty years, during
which time many million bottles have
been sold and used. It has long
been the standard and main reliance
in the treatment of Group in thous,
ands of homes, yet during this
time no case has ever been reported
to the manufacturers in which it
failed to effect a cure. When given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse
or even as soon as the croupy cough
appears, it will prevent the attack.
It is pleasant to take, many children
like it. It contains no opium or
other harmful substance and may be
given as confidently to baby as to
an adult. For sale by j. E. Kauf-
mann.

Women and Jewels,

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that

Jewels form magnet of mighty
power to the average woman. Even

he said. This resolution was merely
intended to be 8 warning. The
resolution was adopted.
The governor then offered resolu-

Col. Jones made few appropriate
remarks complimenting the secre-

six years, Messrs. Gunter and Parks.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they can
not reach the deceased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachisn Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you
have q rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stoyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrb, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that can not be cured by

a Negro Patriot.

Leslie's Weekly.
Notably among the colored heroes
of the revolutionary was brave Aus
tin Dsbney: Of Georgia. His owner
craveniDgly refused to shoulder q
flint lock, but the negro offered to en-
list and. after some discussion, the
officers enrolled him. He was one
of the heroic band who faced the
charge OF tho list Highland regi-
ment at Blackstock's 9 farm. and turn
ed the crack troops of Europe in
open field, with rife and musket
against the bayonet and at Kettle
Creek Dabney was severely wounded.
After the war he was pensioned by
the United States government, and
received grants of land from Georgia.
For gallant service in the field be
was freed by an act of the State Leg
islature and his value paid from the
public funds. Grateful to the Write
family who nursed him while wound
ed, he earned money and educated
their eldest SOD, and wept for JOY
when the youth was admitted to the
bar. Riding into Savannah to draw
his pension be humbly fell to the rear
of the white men he bore company.
Governor James Jackson, himself
the owner of many slaves, saw Dab
ney, rushed out, shook his compan-
ion in arms by the band, and had
him lodged in his "quarters," or row
of housea where the servants lived.

There was a very good attendance
at the meeting OF the State Commit
tee Friday night. As soon as the
committee had been called to order
Col. Jones announced that the tsbu-
lation of the figures had already been
carefully made from the official re-
turns by himself and Secretary Parks.
At once committee of five was ap-
pointed, with Governor McSweeney
aschairmau, to examine the tabulation.
The chairman was then authorized
to End what constitutional amend
ments are to be voted upon in the
general election in November and
have tickets printed and sent to the
polls.
Col. Crews called the committees
attention to one of the rules requir-
ing voters to put ballots in their
proper boxes. He thought it was
wrong to throw out ballots placed in
the State box.
MIR. Williams showed that if such
votes were not thrown out voter
can easily vote twice-say two tick
cts for county offices and vice versa.
Col. Crews knew that the counting
of such tickets had been done and
he thought it right. He wanted the
matter settled and made uniform. He
finally moved that a county ticket if
Rund in State box and vice versa.
Mr.. Blease moved to amend the
motion so that none be counted when
there was sn excess of vote over the
poll list.
Governor McSweeney said he hoped
that the committee would throw more
safeguards about the primary system.
If a man made the error in the box
it was his own unfortunate mistake.
The primary should be most carefully
guarded. Managers of elections
could tell the voter which box was
which. He wanted every white man
to vote and not lose his vote, but to
90 to this extent would let in too
much lsxity.
Col. Crews motion was finally voted
down.
Gov. McSweeney then read the re-
port of the committee on tabulation,
showing the results given above, the
report being adopted.
MIR. Blease offered q resolution to
require all clubs to reorganize before
the next primary election, as provid-
cd in The State party constitution.
