Only 1900, 600 gallons of the whis-
key made in 1895, 1896 and 1897 re-
main in bond, and the whiskey dealers
are alarmed. About 7,oo0,o 600 gal
Ions of six, seven and eight-year old
whiskey is used annually, and the
dealers say there will not be a gallon
in bond by July l. Heretofore there
has always been much more than was
consumed, and a famine is problem
that was aever before considered. The
leading dealers say the condition may
result in the whiskey made in 1898,
1896 and 1897 being cornered, and the
prices doubled. In this event the
blenders, who use most OF the six,
seven and eighty eyar-old whiskey,
will be compelled to use goods made
later.-Louisville Courier Journal.

HAVE HAD THEIR DAY,
Old Fashioned Medicines for Catarrh
No Longer in Vogue.

For many years past the usual
treatment for catarrh diseases was
with local douches, sprays, inhalers
and liquid medicines composed prin-
cipally of alcohol, all of which never
cured, but simply give the temporary
relief and stimulation.
A thorough course can be made only
by the treatment which removes the
catarrhal poison from the blood.
A new remedy which meets the re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing ca
tarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membrane only.
They can hardly be classed as a Sc
cret patent medicine as they are COM
posed of such valuable remedies blood

tus tree and similar antiseptics COM
bined in tablet form. which cure by
eliminating from the blood and mu-
cous membrane the poison of catarrh.
tarrh.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozengers to be taken
internally, allowing them to DISSOLVE
in the mouth, thus reaching the throat,
trachea and finally the stomach.
If desired they may also be dissolved
in water and used as a douche, in ad-
dition to the internal use, but it is not
at all necessary to use a douche: a
few of them dissolved in the mouth
daily will be sufficient. However,
when there is much stoppage of the
nose a douche made from these tablets
will give immediate relief, but the
regular daily use internally VIII cure
the whole catarrhal trouble without
resorting to the Inconvenience of a
douche.
DR.. Bennett stated that the inter
nal treatment OF catarrh by means of
pleasant medicated tablets is rapidly
taking the place OF douches and local
applications" and further says that
probably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the mar
ket Is the 9tuart's catarrh Tablets. as

Speaks of Chivalry.

"Phwat's chivalry?" asked Pat
O'Flynn, at Casey's bar one night.
''It is tn wan excuse" said Mack, "f'r
nanny a bloody fight.
Ye've heard about tn good old days av

Well, chivalry was in thin all-stopped

An whin we whit a strollin', wit tn

If chivalry was left at home, We jeopar-

Perhaps tn nayber's boy got gay. an

Perhaps tn thievin' milk-man thried to

Twas thin We used yer chivalry wit

Ye sought its aid to help we rectify tn

Rincon, March 21.-Rincon. so named
by Mr.. George Dole Wadley, when he
was building the railroad, after a place
in Mexico. is one of the growing towns
of Efflngham county. 1t is nineteen
miles from Savannah on the Seaboard
Air Line Railway. on the resinous-
scented pine ridge ten miles away
five feet above level sea. 1t is a pro-
gressive settlement, and its people are
anxious to have it grow bigger. INTEL
lectually and morally, as we'll as ma
terially.
To aid this laudable desire. meet
ing was held a few weeks since at
which it was determined to increase
the educational facilities of the town,
and it was resolved that an academy
was necessary to supply the need. A
sufficient sum of money and the req
uiste quantity of lumber were SUBJ
scribed instanter for erecting the
building, and last Friday Col. j. II.
Estill and Mr.. C. II. Dorset of Savan-
nah were here and in behalf of the
South Bound Land Company donated
two lots on the northeast corner of Co.
lumbia avenue and Fifth street,
measuring 200 feet square, as a site.
The intention is to merge the Rim
con Public School with the academy.
The school now has seventy-five pu-
pills, and is one of the best in Effing-
ham county. Prof. S. L. Newsome is
the principal of the school, and will
be at the head of the academy, his
assistant, Miss May Harvey. will doubt
less be one of the teachers. The trus-
tees are Messrs. Ephraim e. Hineley,
Andrew A. Gnann and George p.
Mottweiler. The academy will have
school accommodations for $50 schol-
ars.
New buildings Going Up.
Quite a number of new buildings
have been erected in Rincon within
the past year, among them the Luth-
eran parsonage, and the residences OF
d. w. zipperer. Esq, who is an ex-
tensive farmer near Savannah, his
headquarters being the famous Her
mitage" plantation; DR.. Il. w. Griffin,
Messrs. w. H. Poytress, T. N. Hine-
ley, C. B. Higgins j. G. Morton and
others.
There are three stores. a saw mill
and a turpentine still in the town.
Mr.. j. B. Simmons, who does a general
merchandising business and farming
and Mr.. W. B. Marlborough, who has
saw mill near the town, resi-
dents of Rincon, are will known to
Savannahians. Mr.. b. w. Davis, one
of the oldest citizens of Efingham
county, has a cottage near the railroad
depot

sect is due to the fact that many of
the people are descendants of the Eb-
enezer Salzburgers, those sturdy Ger
mans who sacrificed their all, and inn
migrated to Georgia in the days of
Oglethorpe, that they might worship
God according to their consciences. Old
Ehenezer Church is seven miles from
Rincon.
Want Good Roads.
There is a great. interest manifested
in Efingham county on the subject of
good roads, and the people of Rincon
assert that when Chatham county ex-
tends its paved road system to the
county line, ut is now at Montieth four
miles from it,. Effingham county will
take hold and improve it's roadways.
The Middle Ground road. which
branches off from the Augusta road.
and extends through the center of Ef-
fingham. Screven and Burke counties
passes through Rincon.
The Georgia Telephone Company,
which already has it's wires nearly half
way, has been asked to build a line to
Rincon, and it will probably be done
at no distant day.
AS has been stated this growing
town is only nineteen miles from Sa-
vannah by the Seaboard Air Line, or
the public road, and is delightfully."- sit
uated among the high pinelands. 1t is
near enough to the ocean to get the
benefit of the sea breeze. and has a
delightful climate; il is said that in
the shade 1t is never hot in the hottest
days of summer
Better Railroad Facilities Needed.
With better railroad facilities Rim
con and the towns on the Seaboard Air
Line would soon be we'll populated by
Savannah people and others who are
seeking country homes, and doubtless
after awhile the wisdom of the policy
of building up Rincon and similarly
located towns on Southern railroads.
by giving them better transportation
facilities, will be realized by those who
dictate the financial end of such cor
porations. Though the great railroad
systems indirectly owe everything to
the liberality of the people of the ter
ritories through which they are built,
the managers of many of them do
nothing except what they are forced
to do towards paying off this moral
obligation.
If half the money that is spent in
equipping, advertising and running
fast trains for tourists were used in
giving better accommodations to the
people living on the lines of the sew
eral railways in Lower Georgia and
South Carolina, a single decade would
show the wisdom of such a policy.
However, Rincon is growing, despite
of poor railroad schedules, and some
day 1t is hoped that the Seaboard Air
Line will do as the Central Of Georgia
is doing-have trains run for the bene-
mt of the trade and travel of those
whose habitat is on its own lines.

Sada Yacco must have been one of tho
. first Japanese women on the stage, or at
least she is one Of the, comparatively
few. Before she was discovered" by
KaWakami she was g. noted geisha.
Americans are apt to associate the term
geisha with the dancers in the cheap tea
houses, who are not geishas at ali. The
real geishas are far above these, and
dance only at great entertainments. Nine.
Yacco's dancing, which found great
favor with her American audiences, was
very quiet, but notably graceful, and the
manner in which she used her hands
(the acme of grace) was a complete
revelation. She executed one dance with
seven or eight changes Of costume, she'd
ding and revealing one magnificent
kimona after the other. Yet: this ex-
quisite dancer, when it came to a jeal-
Gus scene between herself and another
character in the play, looked daggers.
and the two women tore each others
hair down in their fierce struggle.
The most turbulent Of Shakespere's
plays is quiet compared with some of the
dramas enacted on the Japanese stage.
Such fighting as occurred in some of the
Kawakami performances here has not
been witnessed before or since in New
York theater. Kawakami tore the bark
from a tree and wrote his challenge on
it in red letters. When he met his foes
it was a fight with swords, knives, hands,
heads and feet. One of the fighters was
thrown into the air, where he turned a
somersault and landed on his feet be-
hind the hero, upon whom he renewed
the attack from that point Of vantage.
Finally. the hero put a permanent quietus
upon all his enemies by kicking each in
the stomach, which seems the approved
Japanese heroic style OF. administering
the knockout blow.
