There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together and
until the last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured

THREE NEGROES LYNCHED IN BAKER COUNTY
Farmer Made Exit by Rope Route Under Decree
OF Judge Lynch. Tragic Event Near Newton

, their necks and amid the shouts of the
mob the negroes were strung up.
The crowd fired several hundred
shots into the swaying bodies, after
which they quietly dispersed.
The crime for which the negroes
were lynched occurred on the planta-
ton of Billiard daring the progress OF
dance given by one of Billiards. ten
ants.
Negroes from Early, Miller and De.
catur counties were present, and
trouble was soon started by Mckinney,
Annette and Mccoy putting out the
lights. Just at this junctnre Billiard
appeared on the scene and commanded
order. His interference was resented
by the three negroes, who opened fire
npou him with revolvers. Billiard
fell m0rtally wounded, and died Tues
day.
The negroes were arrested Monday
and lodged in Jail at Newton. At their
commitment trial IL was proven that
the shot that killed Billiard was fired
by Mckinney, and that Annette and
McCoy also fired at him. The negroes
were remanded to Jail to await trial at
the next session of Baker superior
coIrt, and absolutely no talk of lynch
ing was INDUCED in.
Ii is the concensus of opinion that
the work of the mob was largely due
to the fact that Billiards. family is left
in bad condition, his wife being a
hopeless invalid, and several small
children are dependent. The lynching
was surprise to the people, as it was
generally believed that the law would
be allowed to take its course.

New Terror for Bostonians.

A new terror now menaces Boston.
Somebody claims to have discovered
by scientific methods that the city is
slowly but surely sinking to sea level.
1t is asserted that there has been q
drop of about foot in the last ninety
years, and that the depression is
steadily going on. But in view of the
weight OF Boston intellect the wonder
is not that the city is being mashed
under, but that it has held up 80 long,
says the Savannah News.

Georgia legislature last Wednesday.
The governors message was charAc'
teristic of the author. and contained
znany important, timely and wise rec
concentrations, presented in conciee
and forceful language, showing dill.

enbiecte handled.
He dealt principally with state is
sues, showing the trend of his thoughts
10 be primarily concerned with home
affairs. which should be first in the
heart of the chief executive of every
state.
He recommended the equalization OF
taxation and urged the state care OF
graves of the confederate dead. The
separation of the inmates OF the insane
asylum is suggested so as to provide
senarate departments for the innocent
aod criminal insane.
Changes are proposed in the man
agemeut of public institutions, and the
utilization of certain lands set aside oy
law for the education of the poor.
As a whole, the document is preg-
nant with wisdom, and is only another
evidence that the people of Georgia

his hands the reins of government OF
