ton at the hands of an impartial public.
II recognize the fact that man g rec.
ord is a legitimate subject for investi-
cation and criticism, bus it should be
investigated fairly and criticised justly.
No man has the right, ss Mr.. Pa, terson
has done in this instance, to garble the
records which he produces and with
hold others which he could produce.
He has deliberately, purposeiy and will
fully made charges against me which he
knew to be untrue, or the falsity of
which he could have ascertained upo1
an honest investigation of the record.
He has purposely withheld from the
public information which every sense of
honor and justice demanded be dis
closed. He has falsely, maliciously and
wilful y assailed my personal and official
honor and integrity, and has sought to
drag me down into the low and degra.
ded plane to which he has descended in
order to build up his own political for
tunes and attain his own personal ends.
Such conduct brands any man as un-
worthy to hold any position in which
dignity of bearing OF CO nduct, personal
honor AID official integrity should be
combined.
81 now submit to an unbiased public
to judge between me ana the man who
has assaulted me, believing with all my
heart and soul and strength that justice
will be done. With the verdict that
you, my fellow citizens, shall record,
shall be content. Very respectfully,

QUARANTINE
CONVENTION
Chattanooga Me q ting is
Fraught With Importance
to Southern People.

New Orleans, Oct. ia very
earnest desire IS felt throughout the
South, particularly in those sections
either invaded Dy yellow fever or dc :
moralized by guarantees, to make the
Quarantine and immigration Conven-
tion which meets at CHATTANOOGA,
November and 10, a success. The
advantages OF early action in this mat
ter will be recognized by all The
quarantine question should be a;teu
and decided upon while 1t is before the
people, while the experience of the
many, contradictory and oneIous quar-
antlnes OF this summer are still fresh
in their memories and when they know
what should be done. In few
months, with the ousting OF the yell
low fever and the revival OF business
most OF the people Will have forgotten
what they have gone through, or VIII
be too busy TO give their attention to
the subject of quarantine. A conven.
ton held then will not represent the
true sentiment OF the South and will
not contain It's strongest men, but may
be controlled by those more interested
in patronage than III etticIent Quaran-
tine work.
Moreover, it is especially desired to
have an expression Of opinion from the
Southern people on the question, one
abOuG which there Can be no dispute
at as early day as possible so that
Congress will be able TO take it up at
its meeting In December, thus assuring
early action on it. A bill properly
prepared ny men of standing and in
t1uence In the South supported as it
Will be by democratic leaoers like Sena-
tors Morgan and McEnery, ana in the
House by the democratic leader, John
Sharpe Williams, OF MISSISSIPPI, will
almost ceI talnly pass Cong ess.
lt IS, therefore, TO the interest of the
South that the Chattanooga convention
should BIZ a success, Gnat 1t should
represent the people and tneiI wishes,
and that it should consist OF men of
ability who would consider the subject
lntelngently and frame quaIanLine
plan, constitutional and satisfactory to
all, and steer clear OF examinations
and determinations and the discussion
or legal issues whicn have brought US
organization and failure OF SO many
Previous conventions called to consider

Strong's patent infringed theirs in no
way, as the principle on which the Bell
telephone operated involved the use OF
an electromagnetic, while the Strong In
strument was connected with perma-
nent magnet.
In September, 1877, there was a fire
I'm the United States patent Office. At
some time between May and Septem-
Der the Strong model disappeared. In
December. 1877, the Bell Telephone
company put in commercial use n model
which bears n striking resemblance to
he Strong.
The case of the Strong patent, vest
in the Atlantic and Western Tele-
one company, against the Bell COM
ny is now pending in the United
ateS circuit court. Ossian Cameron,
ne attorney who had charge of the
Strong interests, is certain that he wfll
prove the priority of the Strong pat
ent. In the preliminary hearing before
Judge Kohlsast, Strong asserted that
he was not only the first to use the
closed circuit. but that he also was the
first one TO discover the possible use
OF wireless telegraphy.

Babes In the Wood

Here is n little tale that has come
down from the wild woods. where the
annual hunting season is now at its
height. An Augusta man was out after
game one morning and when In the
depths OF the forest ran across two
young hunters from New York who
had lost their way. When the man ar
rived ON the scene the two unfortu-
mates had their heads together and
We're earnestly consulting a compass
which one OF them held In his hand.
and as he approached them one came
forward and anxiously said. "will You
please tell us, sir. II compass always
points toward camp?" The man felt
Ike laughing. but he was touched with
pity at their heipIessness. so he un-
dertook to help them out Of their pre-
dicament. and after making some in
quiries and hunting around bit he
was enabled to set, them on the right
track back to camp. where they would
nave chance to study up on the uses
and abuses OF that valuable little in
strument known as compass.-K

Nautical Drugs.


The tabloid habit is unknown to skip
pers of sailing craft, coastwise or ocean
bound. EPSON salts and castor oil are
still good enough for Them" the New
York Press says. Nor does the sailor
who has worked his way up from the
mast dose his crew with sugar coated
or gelatin covered pills. The old stand
ard fayorites are still his main reli-
ance.
Captains OF sailing vessels are re-
quired to keep netes OF all the medicine
they serve out to the crew for record
with the United States shipping COM
missioner. The flies show that the
most popular doses are EPSON salts
and castor OIL and next to these qui-
nine, Jamaica ginger and paregoric.
On a sailing vessel the captain is
the doctor and sailors have to take
what he gives them. On one ship
bound for Rio de Janeiro the captain
saw his second mate taking pills from
a bottle
whats that. sirY sternly demanded
the skipper.
"Pellets for my rheumatism" tho
mate replied.
Throw them overboardv command
ed the captain. 81 don't want such
junk aboard my ship. Come aft and
