Prospective Colonies For Georgia.

A letter from Sparta, Wis, which
reached Secretary of State Phil Cook
day or two ago, indicates that a
large number of people of that town
and elsewhere are preparing to form
colony for the purpose of coming to
Georgia.
The communication is one in which
the secretary of state has every conf
dence, since it comes through an Off
cial of Monroe county, Wisconsin, to
whom application had doubtless been
made as to the conditions in Georgia
G. H. Stevens, register Of deeds,
in his letter, asked for facts concern
ing the climate, soil, price of land and
educational advantages to be found in
this state. Mr. Cook will make an eff
fort to get all the pamphlets descrip.
tive of Georgia soil and life at the ear
Hest moment and will forward them to
Registrar Stevens.
The communication is the second of
the kind to be received from the north
west in the past two weeks. The first
letter reaching Secretary Cook was
from French philanthropist, who is
now in st. Paul preparing the way for
several colonies of French peasants,
who are to be brought to America.
There is hope that both plans to
bring large colonies to Georgia will
work out successfully. Following is
the letter from the registrar of deeds
of Monroe county, Wisconsin,:
Hon. Phil Cook, Secretary of State Dear
sir-phere are several PARTIES in this state
who re thinking of locating in the south.
They have capital and would like to locate
colony, We would like to get all the in
formation POSSIBLE in regard to climate
soil, price of land and educational advan-
tages of your state. Any information you
can give us on these points will be appre-
clated. Respectfully, c. H. STEVENS,

CHINA'S DEMAND on OUR GOVERN
MENT.

What will President Roosevelt do
about that affair in TOnapah,
What can he do? Some citizens Of a
sovereign state took upon themselves
to run out Of the town a lot Of sub
jects Of the emperor of China and
tina %pOtentate makes demand upon
the United States government that
the perpetrators of the outrage on his
subjects shall be punished and the
latter Unidentified pecunIarily for what
they have suffered. In this he is fol-
lowing the precedent set him by the
government # the United States and
several European nations at the time
of the Boxer disturbances in the celes-
tiaI kingdom, and he remembers that
when he was unable to put a stop to
the attacks upon the foreigners there
or did not make as prompt and vigorous
an attempt to do so as the foreign
powers thought he should they landed
troops on his shores. marched them to
his capital city and took possession
of il. killing many of his subjects and
destroying much property.
All President Roosevelt car do is to
report to the governor or Nevada such
communications as pass between the
state department and the Chinese
minister and urge the punishment
Of the offenders. Their lawless con-
duct was an offense against the state
and not against the laws of the Unit
ed States.
z &c rrIIn tho PnnOraCC POlll6 mass
an act apprOpriating Il sum Of money
for the benefit of those Chinese who
suffered at the hands of the people
OF Tonapah and express regret tina
the affair had occurred. 1t established
this precedent a few years ago when
a similar state OF affairs was brought
about by the lynching OF some 1tal-
fans. although it was then expressly
declared that such action by congress
was not to be considered as = prece-
dent.
The cruel treatment OF those Chinese
in Nevada will not be calculated TO
better the condition OF American cit
liens residing in China. especially if
nothing is done in the way of making
amends for the injuries inflicted upon
h former. This circumstance will
probably have much weight with our
authorities in efforts to appease the
Chinese: but if we are to pay dam
ages for every injury or injustice done
a Chinaman in this country the big
surplus in the federal treasury will
soon be wiped out.

Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription

common ailments of women, as to war

they hereby do, the sum OF $500 reward

they can not cure. This is a remarkable
offer. No other medicine for the cure
of wonan's peculiar ailments is backed
bv such a remarkable guarantee. No
other medicine for wonan's ills IS pos
sessed of the unparalleled curative pro-
perties that would warrant its makers
in publishing such al offer; no other rem
edy has such a record of a third of a
century of cures on which to base such
a remarkable offer.

ment of Postmaster at "ateSbOro
Attacks His Opponent.

The long drawn u contest for the
appointment of postmaster at Wades-
boro. the details of which are familiar
10 NJ. & l. readers was the this
week. of two assaults by Mr. Wv. H.
Odom. the unsuccessful candidate Tor
the place, upon Postmaster Matheson,
who has beer recommended for reap.
pointment. The facts Of the assault,
are as follows:
Monday afternoon Mr.. Odom went
to the pOstofice and requested Mr..
Matheson to come into the lobby Of the
office as he wanted to speak to him.
Mr.. Matheson, who was alone in the
office at the time. acceeded to the re-
quest. Then Mr.. Odom. after u few
words between them. struck h post
master. At this stage Mr.. Matheson
retreated into the office proper and
locked the door. after which Mr.. Odom
left the building.
Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Odom had q
hearing before Mayor Little, and Mr..
Matheson was present as a witness
against him. Odom was found guilty
and fined a dollar and the cost. He
paid the fine and cost and left the
N4it1O. LII d lew minutes Tx ISO
for the stump of a cigar he had left in
the office, and on securing 1t asked
Town Marshall G%ulledge for a match
with which to relight the cigar.
Matheson and Mayor Little were both
sitting in the office at this time, and
while Marshall Gulledge had his back
turned getting the match out of a table
drawer Mr.. Odom again assaulted Mr..
Matheson, striking hin several times
on the head before he could be re-
strained. Mr.. Matheson's scalp was
broken by one of the blows and he is.
1t is claimed, painfully injured.
For this second offense Mr.. Odom
was fined so mo the cost by Mayor
Little, but this judgment vas later
stricken out and he vas bound over to
court.
The NJ. & l.. understands that the
assault grew out of the failure of Mr..
Matheson to appoint Mr.. Odom's
daughter, Miss Lille B.. Odom, to a
position in the office, in pursuance of
an alleged agreement made IN Wash
ington between State Chairman Roll
Inns and one of Mr.. Matheson's friends
