ADJUSTMENTS.
The Fenberg Stock Co.

The third night of the Fenberg Stock
Co. at Augusta Opera house was in the
mining camp comedy drama, "Splin-
ters." The streets had not dried off
from the rain. yet there was distinct
increase in the size of the audience
over that of the night before. The
play abounds in striking situations and
unlocked for turns, and the spectators
found the interest that comes from
watching the unexpected. The COM

SIXTEEN YEARS OF cATARRH,
Well Known Massachusetts Woman
Cured by Hyomei.

How to cure catarrh has been a
problem in medicine for many years
that was not solved until the discovery
of Hyomei. This remarkable treat
ment makes it possible for. any one to
breathe in an air at home which is al
most identical with that of the Adj
rondacks. the Carolinas or other health
resorts where the air is impregnated
with healing balsams from health CIV
ing trees and plants.
Simply place a little Hyomei in the
inhaler which comes with every out
fit. breathe it occasionally during the
day and benefit will be seen after its
use for only two or three times, while
perseverance for a few days or weeks
will effect complete cure of even the
worst case of catarrh.
Mrs. Elvira E. B. Gibson who holds
a responsible position in the great dry
goods store of Jordan, Marsh & Co., of
Boston. wrote in April: Il had catarrh
for twenty years, and the last ten

A THRILLING TALE
Of the Sea by Little Eight Year o Id
Augusta Boy.

The following story composed and
written out on typewriter by an g.
year-old Augusta lad shows that the
literary spirit is not yet dead in the
Capital city. 1t is not improbable that
the lad may be heard from as an au-
thor of merit in the future. His story
follows:
Joe had Joined the army. He was
cook of his mess. He went out every
day to try his luck fishing. He was on
board a gunboat. He was bossed by a
boy younger than he. He saved the
gunboat and got promoted Now he
was an officer Once the Southerners
captured him, but he escaped, and then
he went home.

; The railroad committee was busy all
| the afternoon and evening and heard
several important matters. Hon. Hiram
| Knowlton of Portland, appeared in be-
| half of the bill to compel electric rail-
roads to use vestbuled cars in the win
| ter months. He appeared in behalf of
| the employees of that road. Hon.
Chas. F. Libby and General Manager
E. A. Newman of the company, said
! vestibule cars We're being put on the
suburban branches, but did not think it
safe to run them in the crowded streets
| of Portland. Hon. Geo. f. Macomber
of Augusta, was not in favor of the
| bill, although he believed in vestibued
| cars.
Many Old Orchard citizens We're
| present in behalf of the bill to compel
| the Boston & Maine railroad to provide

| tives and the laying out of safe cross
| ings in that town.

Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath advocated
the bill to incorporate the Waterville
and Winslow Bridge Co. This bridge
is to be a part of the Wiscasset, Wa
terville and Pennington Railroad Co.
The bill to incorporate the Maine
Rural Telephone Co. was explained by
r. W. Winter. who asks for the char
ter. Hon. l.. c. Cornish said that as
counsel of the New England Telephone
Co. he had not objected to the granting
of charters to rural companies but that
this bill was so broad in it's provisions

build telephone lines anywhere in
Maine.

L. A. Cloudy, Portland, of the North
eastern Telephone Co., Leslie c. Cor
nish, Augusta, representing the New

One Of Opie Reads Good Stories.

He had got out of the habit of wearing
his dress clothes, when he was invited to
an inaugural ball. His wife insisted he
should 60. So he put on his evening togs
with many forebodings, for he had grown
stouter since he last had worn them.
Sure enough, when he got in the ball
room he backed against the wall and start
ed making signals of distress.
"What is it, Judge?" asked his wife.
"1t's just as 1 told you," was the reply
"The trousers have ripped"
"Tve provided for just such a contin'
gency," said his wife. II have needle
and thread. There is little dressing.
room that's deserted right outside. I'll
fix them for you there"
So the Judge backed out sideways and
into the little room. Here it was discover.
ed that the damage was extensive and
that it would be necessary to remove the
trousers. This was done, and no sooner
done than the voices of ladies were heard
"Quick! get into this closet" said the
Judges wife, opening small door. The
Judge jumped in, just in time. But NO
sooner was the door closed on him than it
shook with kicks and clamorous knock
ing, with the voice of the Judge heard
above the din, exclaiming: "Open this
blanked door! I'm in the ballroom!'

@0d Roads.

Good roads are as necessary to the people
of a commonwealth as are good houses.
If the arteries are the life of the body, it's
highways are the life of a State. Remove
its means of intercourse with the outside
world and any community would become
insular in all the manifold meanings of
the world. Improve them, and SO make
material, intellectual and social breadth.
Ofwhat use are schools, churches and
other institutions, which stand for the
symbols of enlightenment if they are not
accessible? Good roads are the cords
which bind together the mental, material
and social life of the country side.
Without them prosperity languishes, adj
vancement halts, and the hardships Of
primitive conditions make narrow the:
environments of the people.
The increased value Of property which
they touch; the acceleration of business
and trades of all kinds, the facilities for
expansion on all lines; these and countless
other benefits prove good roads outweigh
any possible plea that might be urged
against them.

POSTOFFICE ROBBERY.
Safe Blown Open in Mullins with an
ExplosionHeard Half Mile Away,
but Man Sleeps Through it All.

MULLINS, Marion County, October 3d.
Robbers broke into the postofice here
this morning between 2 and 3 o'clock,
cracked the safe with some explosive and
took between 800 and $1,000 in cash, be-
sides stamps, etc. Appearances indicate
that it is the work of amateurs. The
building is of wood. The robbers bored
several holes through panel of a back
door of the Office with brace claimed by
a blacksmith. Then they forced the door
with chisels. The safe is of the ordinary
kind used by merchants. The door of
the safe was blown into atoms, wreckin g
the ceiling and walls overhead to a con-
siderable extent and making report
heard by many all over the town for half
a mile away. The Office is near the centre
OF town and is conducted by Mr.. j. E..
Smith, a reputable merchant, whose place
of business is connected with the postof-
fee, nothing but wooden wall dividing.
Mr.. Smiths brother was sleeping in the
store and knew, nothing Of the trouble
until daylight this morning. Suspicious
characters have been seen and driven out
of town by the police within the last few
days. No clue has been discovered yet
to the perpetrators.

Origin of the Ku Kux.

Mr.. T. Larry Can't, the sage of lnman,
believes that the Ku Klux Klan had a
mission to perform and that the organi'
zation was of such service to the South in
stamping out lawlessness and preserving
the innocent from punishment as to merit
the erection of a masked statute on horse
back. He proposes that the monument
be built in Union, S. c., where he says
the first Ku Klux Klan was organized in
South Carolina, which may or may not
be true. A citizen of Union rode all the
way on horseback to Anderson with a
message from the "Grand Cyclops," whose
home was near Limestone Springs, and
was a gallant officer in jenkins brigade
For good and sufficient reasons the Ku
Klux was not organized in Anderson
county, but there were many hearty sym
pathizers with>the purposes Of protecting
the weak and Furnishing the criminals,
who were committing theft and arson in
various sections of the State.
After the Ku Klux trials in Columbia
Mr.. Daniel 81. Chamberlain asked a
gentleman who was then residing in An
derson what he thought of the Ku Kluz
as political organization, and the reply
was that the Klans ought to be rallied on
both sides OF Broad river, marched down
to Columbia, and formed around the cap
itol when the legislature was in session
capturing all the white and colored lead
ers, including the officials in the State
house, and hanging them from the win
dows of that building. Mr.. Chamberlain
remarked with his usual calmness that
such course would have basis of merit
on which to gain the approval of the
country, although he was then attorney
general of the State.-Greenville Noun

THE CAUSE OF LYNCHING.
SPECIAL TERM OF COURT TRIES
NEGRO RAPIST.
A Sentence of Only Ten Years Given
for Attempt to Assault an 8
Year Old Child,

ORANGEBURG, October 31.-The special
term of court called to try William Jones,
the negro charged with attempt to COM
NIT rape, convened this morning at ten
o'clock and had completed its labors be-
fore noon.
Hon. James F. Izlar, the special judge
appointed by the governor, presided and
Solicitor Hildebrand, Stenographer N.Y.
ers and the other officers of the court
we're all present.
The crowd present was not so large as
on yesterday, when an adjournment was
had, but the court house was we'll filled
with an orderly crowd when the prisoner
was brought in.
When arraigned he pleaded "not guilty. y
but upon the advice of Messrs. Abial
Lathrop and VIM. G. Wolfe, who were ap-
pointed by the court to defend him, the
plea of "not guilty" was withdrawn and
the plea of "guilty" entered instead.
The judge then sentenced the prisoner
to 10 years Imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary.
It will be remembered that the negro,
who has for years been employed as porter
in we'll known boarding house of this
city, made an attempt to assault the eight
year-old daughter of well known citizen,
who was boarder at the house. The
negro was captured and Immediately
taken to the penitentiary for safe keep
ing, it being feared that an attempt would
be made to lynch him if kept here.
BE was brought here yesterday morn
ing and was taken back to the penitentiary
this afternoon, via Sumter.
The Tillman Volunteers were called
out to assist he sheriff and did guard
duty at thej jail all of yesterday and up to
the time the prisoner was carried away
this afternoon.
The crime was committed just three
weeks ago, and the convening of the
special term to try the case has been an
impressive lesson.
