EXPOSITION PROCLAMATION.
City Of savannah.


Mayors Office, April l, 1902.
To the People of Savannah:
Wednesday, April 16, has been set
aside by the managers of the South
Carolina and West India Exposition at
Charleston as Savannah Day. In
view of the strong personal relations
that exist between the people of the
two cities, their large business inter
couse, and the kindly sentiments that
have always prevailed between the
communities, it is desired that Savan-
nah give evidence of it's appreciation Of
the efforts of the exposition to adver-
tise the South and promote it's trade
interests, through this exposition, by
making Savannah Day one of the
greatest if not the very greatest, of
the special occasions provided for by
the managers.
To this end arrangements have been
made with the Plant System for special
rates of So for the round trip, good for
three days. and ample facilities will
be afforded by that company for the
safe and speedy transportation of as
many thousands as may desire to visit
Charleston. 1t is hoped that the peo-
pie of Savannah. will generally avail
themselves of this opportunity to en-
joy the pleasures and benefits of the
exposition and at the same time give
practical form to their Endorsement of
the labors of its managers in behalf of
the South and of their brotherly love
for their sister city of South Carolina.

DIR. JAMESON IN DEMAND.
Wanted by Griffin Church and state
Mission Board.


Mission Board.
Griffin, Ga, April 4.-Three members
of the committee appointed by the
Baptist convention at Rome came down
last night and appeared before a spe-
cial conference to ask that the First
BAPTIST Church of Griffin release Rev.
S. Y. Jameson from any claim, real or
imaginary" it had upon him, in order
that he might be free to consider a re-
election to the secretaryship of the
state mission board. The members of
the committee present were: Dr. w.
w. Landrum, DR.. T. p. Bell and Prof.
J. NJ. Britton. DR., Landrum was the
spokesman for the committee, but his
appeals were backed by short talks
from the other members.
DR.. N. B. Drewry responded for the
church and made a very forcible and
convincing statement, in which he
showed that DR.. Jameson had been
called in answer to the united prayers
and vote of the church, had signified
that he preferred pastoral work and
had not asked to be relieved, conse-
quently it would be manifestly inn
proper and discourteous to turn him
adrift. 1t was the boards business
to secure a new secretary in the same
prayerful manner that the church had
secured pastor, and no doubt one
could be found After few remarks
from other members DIR. T. j. Collier
introduced a motion which was unani-
mously adopted that the church refuse
to accede to the demand of the state
convention and insist upon DIR. Jane
son assuming charge of the church.

made is considered good. The asso-

place of Judge John S. Gambler, who

Granada, the young dental student who
killed his fellow student, w. ]. Pope
of Americas, to serve five years in the
state penitentiary. A light sentence
was given under the verdict for volun-
tary manslaughter on account of the
fact that half Of the jury was in favor
Of acquittal. Judge Ffte, in passing
sentence, expressed the opinion that
the verdict was a just one, as it APP
peared from the evidence that Ora
rade had gone to the school with a
dirk prepared to meet Pope and have
it out with him. The evidence did
not show that Pope was armed with
brass knucks. as claimed. Aby the de-
fense, and even If he was knucks, he
stated, were not deadly weapons

Triton, Ga. April 4.-The many
friends of Mr.. Sam M. Clyatt of Triton.
who was convicted in the federal
courts of Florida last week of peonage,
are very much interested in his behalf.
His conviction of this crime is looked
upon as an outrage. as it was not
proven that either of the negroes that
Mr.. Clyatt went to Florida after either
owed him a cent or had they worked
a day for him since their return. The
prosecution failed to show any evil
dence of this kind that would warrant
a verdict of peonage. Besides, Mr..
Clyatt's many personal friends in Tiff
ton and this section. the manay naval
stores men are vitality interested, and
to a man they are rallying to his sup
port, and the case will be fought to
the last resort.

sUwANEE SPRINGS WATER.

Our agent in New York city obtained
the following:
Report of DR.. Cook, Surgeon Bellevue
Hospital Fourth Surgeons Division
Peter Doyle. Patient.
Upon admission the patient was
found to be suffering from chronic cys-
tits with large quantities of pus and
some blood in his urine. He also had an
enlarged PROSTATE, and he was unable
to completely empty his bladder.
He was placed upon Suwanee Springs
Water in conjunction with washing out
of. his bladder, and at the end of two
weeks a surprising change was no.
uced and the enlargement of the pros
trate was so nearly overcome that he
could entirely empty his bladder at his
own volition.
He was discharged from the ward at
the end of three weeks with his urine
perfectly clear, and could pass an en-
tire night without urinating.
The result was quite surprising to
all.
AND YET NOTHER-READ THIS.
Report of DR.. Cook Bellevue Hospital.
Fourth Surgeons Division-Patient,
VIM. Crowley.
Patient came in hospital suffering
from chronic nephritis (Bright's dis
ease). His urine showed both granular
blood cells. The usual remedies were
used. but with little benefit; he was
placed on Suwanee Springs Water in
doses of so OF. per day. and at the end
of two weeks an appreciate improve
ment was noticed. This treatment was
continued for eight weeks, at the end
of which time no casts could be found
under microscopic examination, and
the specific gravity had increased eight
points from 1908. Patient was discharg-
ed at his own urgent request, appar-
emily well. The water has been tried
in several other cases of cystitis with
uniform results.
Mr.. Packard, a guest of Suwanee
when the above report was received.
voluntarily wrote the following to DR..
Cook with whom he was acquainted)
to satisfy a few of our guests who were
rather skeptical. Note the reply:
Bellevue Hospital, March 10, 1894,
My Dear Mr.. Packard-I was some
what surprised to find my cases re-
ported so far away from home and I
am happy to say that they are genuine.
/ have used quite a quantity of the
water and found it beneficial to a de-
gree in all cases. I think that it will
finally be used almost entirely in lust
such cases as the one you sent me. Mrs.
Lewis has spoken to me about your
case, and | shall take great interest in
the result
1 certainly think you can do bet
ter than to stay at the Springs. use
plenty of the water, and take plenty of
exercise, hoping that our acquaintance
will not be always confined to paper.
