ANCIENT
TORTURE
How it has Been Revived
in Modern Times.

An ancient method of poisoning
criminals was TO force them TO swat
low quantities OF bulls blood. Bulbs
blood Is really no poison at all. Yet
the prisoner usually died in agony,
caused by the cOagulation or harden
ing Of the bulls blood in the stom-
ach. The pressure Of this solid mass
on the vital organs almost always re.
suited fatally.
That's like indigestion. II your
food doesn't digest It remains in a
hard lump in the stomach. Gases
form which c-owd other organs. Many
cases OF supposed heart disease are
due to indigestion.
This trouble is removed by the use
OF such q preparation as Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure, Wa ch gives the stomach
perfect rest by digesting what YOU eat
without the stomach's aid. The food
builds up the body. The rest restores
the stomach TO health. You don't
have TO diet.

In the City Court one of the most
important and interesting cases was

charged with selling whisky without
license. 1t appeared that Mr.. Jones
had obtained a license from the town
of Doe Run. and had also paid the tax
and registered before the Ordinary for
state and county license; but Judge
Covington held that Doe Run had no
authority to issue license; and fur
Their, that the commissioners of the
county were the only ones who had
the authority to issue state and coun-
ty license. This decision is far reach
ing, as the town of Doe Run is the
only place in the county where whisky
Is sold. The case will be appealed.

OCILLA AND SURROUNDINGS.
As Seen by n Travelling Man of the
Morning News.

Morning News.
Every drummer looks forward TO the
time when he will hold position that
requires him to make electric light
towns only. The work is not only more
pleasant, but the man who sells the
trade only in the larger towns sells in
larger quantities and makes corre-
spondingly larger salary.
There are. however. some of the
smaller places that the electric light
town drummer" never misses in his
semi-annual or annual rounds. The
business men of these small places in
variably have first class ratings in the
commercial agencies, are large buyers
and generally discount their bids. Not
only the drummer catches on to these
merchants, but the consumers, the peo-
pie who buy from the merchants, soon
realize that the merchant who buys in
large quantities and discounts his bills
is the man for him to find.
Ocilla, in Irwin county. is one of
these favored smaller towns, with a
population of about 1900. The amount
of trade, however, which passes
through its doors would be a credit
to a town of several times its popula-
ton.
Ocilla has all the advantages of the
wiregrass section of Georgia. On the
farms they grow anything. Sea island
and upland cotton both flourish there.
Mr.. j. A. J. Henderson gathered this
year $40 bales upland cotton on 1886
acres land. Mr.. w. Lennon made $500
pounds of seed cotton on one acre.
Enormous yields of corn. sugar
cane, potatoes and other products
are common, and could be enumerated,
If necessary.
Ocilla is also the site of Prof Her
tvs experimental turpentine farm,
which will doubtless revolutionize the
method of boxing timber for turpen-
tine
Situated as 1t is on high, rolling, fer
tile pine lands, there is no wonder that
the merchants and farmers are un-
usually prosperous and that the drum
mer who has the largest and most
complete lines makes 1t his business
to stop at Ocilla, and the jobber who
wants to sell the best class of trade
insists on his drummer going there.
The scool facilities are the best, and
the care taken of the streets indicate
a local pride not to be seen even in
larger towns.
The terminal of the Seaboard Air
Line branch from Abbeville is now at
Ocilla, and the Brunswick and Bir-
mingham will be running trains there
by March /.
A hearty welcome is always extended
to visitors, who will be well taken care
of by the proprietor of the Wilcox Ho-
tel, ex-senator George K. Wilcox Mr..
Wilcox expects soon to move into a
new and larger building. There is no
part of Georgia that is showing more
advancement than the old county of
Irwin and the towns belonging thereto.

INTO SWIFT'S BUILDING.
The Post ONCE at EIBerton VIII be
Moved.


Washington, Dec. 1.-THE long
fight over the location of the Elberton
postofice has been settled by the es-
tablishment of the office in the prop
erty owned by Capt. Tom Swift. This
end was accomplished upon orders of
the Postmaster General, issued at the
request of Representative Howard.
The Swift location had been recon-
mended by two inspectors sent to in
vestigate, and Mr.. Howard, in urging
it's selection, followed the recommen-
dations of these officials that of the
different locations submitted, this is
the best.
The contest over this apparently
small matter is the latest phase Of the
long existing feud between Capt.
Swift, former representative, and DR..
Long, former member of the Senate.
The Swift-Long feud is political, and
has at different times entered into
every phase of Ebert county politics.
Each has sought to have the post
office established in property owned
by him. First one and then the other
has had the favor of the postoffice au~
thorities, and the matter has swung
back and forth since early in July.
When it was announced that the
OWHtI VI the property III "hitlt the
postoffice has for some time been To-
Gated, desired to have it removed, DR..
Long, Capt Swift and Mr.. Tate be-
came aspirants for It, There was no
agreement, and accordingly inspectors
were sent twice to look over the field.
Each of these reported in favor of
the Swift property, so an order was
issued at the department in accord
ance with these reports. DR.. Long had
this held up, however, largely through
the influence of United States Marshal
Walter Johnson because, it is said, of
DIR. Longs representations of friendli-
ness for the candidate whom the Re-
publican organization backed for the
place of postmistress, but who failed
to be appointed. Then, too, DIR. Long
claimed that the greater number of
patrons of the office preferred his
property.
During the absence from Washington
of the Postmaster General, the Second
Assistant Postmaster General issued an
order revoking the earlier order and
directing that the postoffice be estab
lshed in DIR. Longs building. At this
stage Representative Howard took hold
of the matter and had this last order
suspended until the Postmaster Gener-
al could give the matter his personal
consideration.
The matter had hung fire until the
present, when the Postmaster General,
acting upon the recommendations of
Mr.. Howard that the original report
of the inspectors be followed, issued
the necessary order, and the postoffice
is now firmly established in the build
ing owned by Capt Swift.

"RuBBERNEcKING'' ACCIDENTS.
Five Women n Day Hurt In Chicago
Because They VIII stare.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Five women a day, according to the
police reports. are hurt in the shopping
districts by street cars or other vehi-
cles running into them. Some of the
cases are serious. and demand the re-
moval of the injured persons to hos
pital or their homes. The great ma
Jority of these accidents, crossing po-
hcemen declare. are due to what is
vulgarly called "rubbernecking.
Mine women out of ten who are
hurt by street cars or vehicles drawn
by horses have only themselves to
blame" said an officer, who for several
years had guarded State street cross
ing. II have seen dozens of women in
jured down here in the retail district,
and l never saw one who met with an
accident who was not ''rubbernecking.'
For instance. a woman will start to
cross the street with an armful of bun
dies. Half way over, in the middle of
the car tracks. she turns around to
look at a woman who has passed her
from the opposite direction. Perhaps it
was the woman's hat. or the hang OF
the skirt that has caused the other
woman to stop and take her in At
any rate, she stands there like block
of stone, deaf to the changing OF the
car bell and the shouts of the people
who see her danger. Finally, after she
has Toasted her eyes on the hat or
the skirt, or whatever 1t was that
caught her fancy, she wakes UP and
finds a street car or vehicle of some
kind bearing down on her. She is con-
fused, and doesn't know which way to
turn. The chances are 100 to that she
will step in front of the car or car
riage, If she has to run five feet to do
It, and then the ambulance is called.
She tells her husband and everybody
else that the motorman or gripman,
as the case might be, tried to deliber-
ately run her down.
THE same thing is true of a great
many men who are injured downtown.
Two men out of five Chats a conserv-
alive estimate) will turn around ten
times in walking one block to look at
women who attract their notice. And
do you know, it's habit with whole
| lot of men. ! know some of the most
respectable men in Chicago. who in
every other wav are model husbands,
who are victims of this habit Of rub
bernecking' If a woman attempted 10
fiirt with them they would take to the
woods, but they will turn around and
| secretly admire some woman whom
they never saw before and never ex-

Yesterday in the college chapel, Pres

important announcements relative to
the programme which will be carried

DIR. Dickey said that it was somewhat
premature to announce the names of
the men who had been selected to take
part in the commencement programme,
but that he had planned to make the
coming commencement eclipse all prev

ing but right that he take the student
body into his confidence and let them
know his plans so that they might
prepare for the best commencement in
the history of Emory College.
DIR. j. NJ. Buckley. editor Of the New

THE CONVICT LESSEES
ARE LOBBYING.
That Is what a Capitol Official De-
cIares of Delay of Action.

That Is what a Capitol Official De-
cIares of Delay of Action.
Atlanta, Dec. 11-"There has been a
lobby of the convict lessees around
the Capitol with view to preventing
action on the question Of leasing the
labor of the state convicts, and the
failure Of the Legislature to decide this
question at this session will probably
cost the state thousands of dollars in
the end
This statement was made to-day by
q prominent and well-known Capitol
Official who stated that he had EVIL
dence of the fact that certain lessees
had been lobbying to prevent action
on the convict bill at the present ses-
sion, and that he could and would pro-
duce that evidence if necessary.
The reason for such a statement at
this time is that the House to-day
sIdetracked the convict bill by Sena-
tor Clemens. which has passed the SEN
ate, providing for another lease of
the convicts, refusing to take it up as
a special order. There was a long de-
bate over the matter, but the resOlu-
ton looking to the consideration of the
convict question was lost, and the bill
will go over to the next session,
whether it be held in the summer or
the fall.
''It is to the interest of the lessees
to have no action taken at this ses-
sion," this official stated, and if there
is no summer session and the matter
is postponed till fall all of the adj
vantage will be on their side and
against the state.
If no action should be taken till
October and bids were advertised for
GiWfU
would be but thirty days between the
time of opening bids and the time of
putting the convicts to work by the
new lessees. Thus, it can readily be
seen that the present lessees would
have all the advantage in the bidding
and the state would unquestionably be
the loser as the result of it. l believe
1t means thousands of dollars to the
state to have this matter promptly
