PENSION FOR A NEGRO.
Went to War from Emanuel
County, and Wants Bounty.

According to an Atlanta dispatch,
an interesting question is now con-
fronting Pension Commissioner j. W.
Lindsey, and that is can a negro who
served through the war in the service
of the confederacy draw a pension.
The problem comes up from Emanuel
county. A free negro went to the war
voluntarily as d member of company
K, twenty-eighth Georgia, and played
fife until "Johston quit" He was a
soldier in the full sense, but Commits
sioner Lindsay has written to Emanuel
for all the facts, whether he was
regularly enrolled, drew pay, etc. The
negro is now old and helpless, and an
effort is being made 10 get pension
for him.

WATSON OWNS MUCH LAND.
The Popuist Candidate for President
Believes in Owning Real Estate
Instead of JeWeIrY.

From the Macon News.
Hon. Thomas <. Watson, the bril-
liant Georgian and the peoples party
candidate for president, prefers to own
land rather than jewelry. According
to his tax returns now on file in the
Office of the comptroller general Mr..
Watson owns S34, $3.50 worth of Georgia
land, while his watches and jewelrY
amount to $50. He also possesses city
property worth $500. Mr.. Watson
has always been man of simple tastes,
eschewing ostentatiOn and display,
and we are not surprised that his
watches and iewelry are valued at only
$50. Mr.. Watson's large ownership of
land signifies, among other things,
that he has faith in the increasing and
enduring value of lands in Georgia,
that he believes in the future agricul.
tIral development and prosperity of
the state, and that Georgia land is a
rich heritage to leave his family when
he has passed from this world to the
unknown shore.

One of the most remarkable cases of
a cold, deep-seated on the lungs, caus-
ing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Ger
trude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind, who
was entirely cured by the use of One
Minute Cough Cure. She says: "The
coughing and straining so weakened
me that l ran down in weight from l4S
to 90 pounds. | tried a number of
remedies to no avail until I used One

who has stomach trouble. 1t is not a
mere digestive like the pc psin tablets,
but is remedy that absolutely and
positively cures dyspepsia and restores
perfect health to the digestive sys-

Bell Bros. can tell you of many of
their customers who recommend Miro

this remedy does not relieve you of
indigestion it will cost you absolutely
nothing.

so certain az present that l have often
wondered if some day we would point
at some old man or woman in Connect

American race, just as now we point to
a few shriveled Indians out west as
the last of the original Americans.
"In New England the disappearance
OF the pure American families is par

of the prominent merchants and bust

EYELESS SNAKES IN A PINE.
Supposed to Have Been Peaceful
ly Resting There for Years.

From the Dublin Dispatch.
81 know not what the truth may be;
[ tell the tale as twas told to me-"
Dr. r. Il. Hightower comes to the
front with the champion snake story
of this or any other season. In fact
we do not believe that the like of it
has been equaled since the food.
The tale emphasizes the fact that
nature never provides anything with
useless organs. For example, fish in
Mammoth Gave, where no light is ever
seen except the artificial light made
by man, have no eyes. Their sense of
smell is so acute, however, that they
manage to get along very we'll without
being able to see. Likewise, the mole,
which lives entirely under ground, has
nothing in the shape of eyes. Some
people have eyes and see not, but
moles and Mammoth Cave fish have
no eyes and yet they see-maybe.
DR.. Hightower's snakes had no eyes.
A few days ago DR.. Hightower put
several hands on his farm on the east
side of the river clearing up some new
ground. On the land to be cleared was
an imense pine which had probably
been standing through the storms OF
winter and the smiles of summer for
few thousand years. Just how old it
was we have no means of telling. DR..
Hightower thinks that it was about
ninety years old. At any rate, the tree
was a very large one and when"cut up
into wood made five cords.
But this is not the story.
From the ground to the first limb on
the tree the distance was seventy feet.
The tree was not hollow, but the first
limb had a small cavity. In this cav.
ity were found two snakes. They
were about two and half feet long,
but were not very large in circumfer'
ence. Neither had any eyes. Yet
there was evidence that formerly they
could see, but having no use for the
organs of sight their eyes grew up.
