LUSK AND BURNETT :
END THE DEBATES
SPEECH IN MARSHALL COUNTY
WAS THE LAST TO BE MADE BY
EITHER CANDIDATE IN THE
PRESENT CAMPAIGN.

Guntersvine. April S.--(special) u. A.
Lusk and J. l.. Burnett met at Douglass
academy near Guntersville yesterday in
Joint discussion. This was the last speech
to be made in the campaign by either
side. About five hundred people were
present.
The issues discussed were the. same as
heretofore with the exception that Mr..
Burnett explained his bill to pension the
scouts and guides of the federal army
by saying it applied only to the scouts
and guides of the federals who served in
his congressional district and that of
Judge Richardson.
Mr. Lusk charged Mr.. Burnett with not
voting on either side 92 times out of 109
yeas and nays votes in second session
Fifty-seventh congress and presented a
tabulated statement from the record set
ting out that this session of congress
voted 109 times and Mr.. Burnett voted
only II times on either side. Mr.. Burnett
did not reply to this
Other than these two points the discus
sion was practically the same as hereto
fore. Both Mr.. Lusk and Mr. Burnett
>seem confident of success.

his state and upon the resources and pos
sibilities of the old 'goober' common
wealth.
Why" said the colonel to Washing
ton Post reporter do you know that the
cotton crop of the past season with its
by-products, was worth to our Georgia
planters over s9O,000,O00. All tho gold and
silver taken out of all the mines of the
United States in year do not equal this
sum- But this isn't the whole story by
any means, for Georgia last year used
something over $4,000 bales of cotton in
the textile factories within her borders,
Her total capital invested in these mills
exceeds 1876, 900. In 1880 there were only
two cotton oil mills In the south; at this
time there are 125 in Georgia alone, with
an annual output valued at not less than
$12000,000.

they are this year. They are for the

NEW BUNCO GAME
is BEING WORKED
MAN CLAIMING TO BE DAIRYMAN
OBTAINS MONEY UNDER FALSE
PRETENsE-A CLEVER SCHEME
WORKED ON RESTAURANTS.

Some man with desire to live by his
wits alone has been working a smooth
swindling scheme on dairymen and res
taurant keepers in Birmingham for some
time past, and as yet he has not been
caught. The city pound keeper has also
been used to advantage in the matter
Out of his massive brain this smooth
person has evolved the scheme to get
something for nothing. and 1t has worked
successfully enough times to pay for the
grinding of the cogs in his head
The aforesaid man calls up restaur-
ant proprietor at a late hour. and pass
himself off for well known dairyman
living several miles in the country, and
state that after he got home he discov-
cred that several of his cows were in the
pound He said that he could not come
back to town at night. and that he need
ed his cows in the morning He asks that
the restaurant keeper hand to one of his
men, who is down town, enough money
to get the cows out of the pound, and de-
scribes the man who will call for the
money. The description. is merely 'blacR
derby and clean shaven.''
The restaurant keepers In several in
stances have fallen easy victims. When
the man described as clean shaven and
wearing black derby put in an appear
ance at their place they let him have the
cash, to be returned the next day, but
that was the last they heard of dairy
man, or cows either.
There was never any dairyman, never
any cows in pound, and the smooth
shaver, black derhvad t,,d;.,i5,,a1 - l,
Oh the quick brain who worked the
scheme. He has also worked it in sim.
liar manner on dairymen in the city, and
one or two of them have given him money
with which to get his COWS.

TOBACCO BLINDNESS.
The Chief Trouble in This Disease Lies
In the Stomach.

From the Chicago Tribune.
a British ocullst has called-attention
to a new and indirect method of treating
tobacco blindness, and notes the ex-
traordlnary fact that the chief trouble In
this disease is traceable to the stomach
as the primary source. Excessive smok-
ing, as is well known, causes in many in :
dividuals partial and sometimes total
blindness Tobacco blindness (and also
the failure of vision which comes from
the excessive use of alcoholic beverages)
is remarkable because of the absence Of
any change in the structure of the eye
itself.
Microscopic examination In these cases
has disclosed peculiar alterations in the
ganglion cells of the retina, and the
changes were formerly believed to have
been produced by the poison of the to-
bacco itself Three years ago a Phila-
delphia physician published the opinion
that the alteration in the cells, followed
by falling vision, was not produced by
the nicotine itself, but by poisons which
the nicotine created in the system. These
secondary poisons finding their way to
the eye, modified the cells in the retina,

With this original suggestion for a
starting point, other Investigators took
up the investigation, with the result
that the seat of the trouble has been To-
Gated. This is found to lie in the stom-
ach. Nicotine disturbs the normal func-
ton Of the stomach and instead of healthy
digestion the smoker has a veritable

stead of treating tho eye, therefore, the
new method goes at once to the stom-
ach and attempts to stop the manufac-
ture OF poisons in that important organ.
Several interesting cases are reported of
complete cures by this msthod, One pa

tient, an excessive smoker. whose eyes
We're rapidly failing, was treated for in
digestion. The stomach was pumped out
and found to contain evidences of gas
tritis he mans diet was corrected, his
tobacco cut off, and other remedies of a
hygienio kind were applied. In a few
weeks the blindness had disappeared.
These facts seem to clear up the mys-
terry attaching In general to tobacco
blindness. Some men can smoke to ex-
cess without impairing the eyes. whi,o
others are affected in that way by n
much smaller quantity of smoking. This
anomaly can be Understood when 1t is
remembered that it is the stomach and
not the eyes upon which the nicotine acts
directly. Some stomachs can resist the
poison making force of the tobacco; 9th
ers cannot, and 1t Is those whose stom
aehs are affected by the use of the weed
that suffer from blindness. Smokers
should therefore have an eye to their
digestion.

HITCH
COCK MAY
REMAIN

Washington, Dec. o.--"What is GO
ing to happen to HitchcockP'
That has been the first question
asked by nearly every Western sena-
tor and representative, upon his arriv-
al in Washington, and no one is able
to give a positive answer. For time
it. was universally believed that Mr..
Hitchcock was slated to retire on
March 4th, for it has been an open Sc
cret that all is not harmony between
the President and the Secretary of the
interior, and it has been equally we'll
understood that the entire West is
clamoring for Hitchcock IS scalp.
Within the last few days, however,
the opinion has gained ground that
Secretary Hitchcock will not retire on
March 4th, but will continue in Office
into the new administration for a time
at least. This belief is built on the
assumption that, inasmuch as the Presi-
dent heartily approves of Secretary
campaign against parties
to land frauds, he will not turn the
secretary out of Office while some of the
most important of those cases are still
pending before the courts. Those who
expect Mr.. Hitchcock to be reappoint
ed believe he will continue in Office un-
til the last of the land-fraud cases
have been decided by the courts.

BUILDS
TUNNEL

In line with the $3,O0O,0OO worth of
improvements planned for the Harri-
man railroad lines in Oregon a South
ern Pacific surveying party Of 10 men
has been for some weeks engaged at
work in the Yoncalla valley and in the
vicinity of Rice Hill, outlining plans
for some very important changes in
the railroad line there, says the Rose
burg Review. The changes contem-
plated include the reduction of the
heavy grade up to the summit of Rice
Hill, part of which is formed by the
familiarly known "Grecian Bend" a
semi-eircular strip of track that con-
ing through Yoncalla valley. In order
to reduce this grade, and at the same
time eliminate the curve, but one prac-
teal course was left open to the en-
gineers, j. e.: to construct tunnel. 1t
is reported that this has been decided
upon, but how soon the work will COM
mence cannot be announced until there
is official confirmation of the reported
project.
Detailed reports from creditable
sources have it that the proposed tun-
mel will commence at some favorable
point at the base of that portion of
the hill circumvented by the "bend, "
thence extending straight through the
hill, ending near I. F. Rice's residence.
This will reduce the elevation about
40 feet. In order to create grad
ual grade to the tunnel it will be nee
essary to slightly lengthen the road ex-
tending up from Yoncalla valley. The
great cost of this proposed undertaking
viii lbe fully Offset in few years by
the saving in expense of the extra mo-
tive power now necessary to draw
trains up the tiresome grade.

Miss Crawley's work as "Every-

portrayal, says one critic, of Miss
Crawley's "'Everyman,' and the same
critic goes ON to say; "'From this

poorly wrought, but each and every
