LIGHT BURNED 20 YEARS.
When it Was Finally Fxtinguished
NeighbOrs Began to Wonder.

When it Was Finally Fxtinguished
NeighbOrs Began to Wonder.
Like the sacred lamp at church
shriners or the perpetual light
in synagogues, beacon has been
burning in the vestibule of the big
residence owned and occupied by the
late William T. Walters, says a Bal
timore dispatch. For twenty years the
light has been kept up day and night,
summer and winter.
Before the general introduction of
electricity gas Jet did duty, and af-
terward two incandescent globes took
it's place. Mr.. Walters died and his
son Henry succeeded him as a man of
affairs, but the rays of that mystic
riOus beacon always beamed from the
dOorless vestibule, a kind of portoco
supported by two columns.
This strange light has been extin-
guished, but why it was kept up for
two decades and why it is now discon-
tinued are questions that remain I'M
answered. Inquiries fail to elicit the
slightest information, and the purpose
of the beacon is an unsoIved puzzle.

FOUGHT DUEL WITH wHIsKEY
Two Young Men Settle Difficulty in
a Novel Way.

Robert Bryant and Thomas Fardell,
two young men engaged in railroad
construction work by the Big Four,
attended a dance. Both had been
drinking, and in the course of the eve
ming they got into an alteration
which was about to end in a fight,
when they were asked to leave the
house.
Both expressed a willingness to fight
it out when they got out of doors, and
some one suggested whiskey would be
the proper weapon, as they seemed to
have become estranged through its in
fuence. Followed by the crowd they
went at once to a bar and began to
drink, a committee being appointed
from among the bystanders to see that
each was given the same-sized drink
For more than an hour they stood at
the bar drinking, but after BRYAN had
his forty fifth glass he fell to the floor
and was counted the loser. Both men
are now under the care of physicians,
and are IN a precarious condition.

BRIBED AND GLAD OFT.

From the South McAlester Und To News.
The editor of this paper begs to
acknowledge receipt of the first bride
of his editorial career. Some days ago
we made inquiries of one of our So
ciety young ladies concerning a news
item and elected the following reply:
eyes, it's true, but ple-e-e-ease don't
print it in the paper. If you leave it
out III give you a nickel's worth of
peanuts
We are not passionatelY fond of
peanuts, but gallantry is our long
suit. That "please" would have sepa-
rated US from our Overdraft at the
bank without single regret. SO we
omitted to print the story. 1t wasn't
anything very startling, anyway.
This morning a Senegambian gen.
tleman, preceded by about six inches
of pleasant smile, waited into the ed
itOrial sanctum with a package under
his arm about the size of a week S
washing.
Peanuts! The whole family will be
kept busy for week eating up the
outward and visible manifestations of
our venality. We begin to appreciate
the joys of being a boodler.

MOULTRIE PEOPLE TIRE OF THE NEGRO
Will Follow Up the Organization of Family Laun-
dry With Imported White Servants. Ar
rangenents Have Been Made.

Mayor Monk has, at the request of a
number of parties, taken the matter
up and arranged with concern at
Jacksonville to send colony of Ger
man and Swede girls to Moultrie to
do house work. Several families have
already engaged one and two, and
others are placing their orders. These
girls come under contract for GER
tain length of time, and are said by
those who have tried them to be far
superior to negroes as cooks and
maids.
There is said to be no limit to the
number it is possible to secure from
the northern cities.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1906-02-07

The people over at Moultrie are
preparing to place themselves in posi-
ton where they will no longer be de-
pendent on negroes for domestic SER
wants.
A dispatch says the people of that
town are thoroughly sick and disgust
ed with the negro servant question,
and they are determined to become in
dependent of them for house work.
Steps have been taken to organize
laundry to do family work that has
been done by negro women. Follow
ing this action another movement is
on foot to import German labor for
cooks, nurses, chambermaids, etc.

RELIGION AT THE RING SIDE.
Evangelist Asher Plants Blows For
Church at IA PugiIistic Bout.

Evangelist Asher Plants Blows For
Church at "A PugiIistic Bout.
The 500 Tenderloin sporting men who
sat around the ring side at the fights
held under the auspices Of the Long
Acre Athletic club in New York were
treated to novelty in the form Of a
sermon preached between two bouts by
William Asher, the evangelist from the
west, who, with his wife is holding
saloon revivals in New York city.
Probably never before has there been
such a scene at a boxing tournament,
says the New York Tribune. After
Tim O'Brien and Tom Carey had push
ed each other about the ring for three
rounds with pillows on their hands the
announcer introduced Mr.. Asher as "aE
unusual number at an occasion such
as this"
The evangelist, a wiry, active little
man, pushed his way through the
crowd to the arena and, as the prize
ring writer says, climbed nimbly
through the ropes" Some Of the
Sports kept their hats on and others
sat with barred heads. Everybody
smoked. There was respectful atten-
ton while Mr.. Asher spoke. He shook
hands with the audience after his usual
fashion by having every man raise both
his hands above his head at arms
length and then wave them.
Don't be afraid. I won't touch you
for your watch" he said to those who
hesitated.
Mr.. Asher used as his text l. Timothy
vi II, Flight the good fight of the
faith"
"As boy" began Mr.. Asher, 81 was
fond of boxing, and even today I be-
lieve it a manly sport. But look at
poor old Fitz and old John L. and our
old friend in the corner over there,
George Dixon" Applause greeted the
mention of the names of these former
heroes of the prize ring. Continuing,
the evangelist said:
"They have slowed away and lost
lots Of dough- and who of them would
not today give back all his coin If he
could be healthy man again"
Mr.. Asher talked Familiarity Of ''Jabs,"
"uppercuts" and Swings" and illus
trated all these blows by punching the
air.
The evangelist said:
"Well, boys, it's the same in religion.
There isn't a bruiser among you nor
chap on the face Of the earth who
wouldn't give all he had if he could get
a decision giving him religion. Lots Of
you fellows have taken the count lots
of times, but how many Of you ever
stop 10 think what will happen when
God gets the count on you. Look out
f. that day, boys, or it will be a sorry
one for you. Boys, 1 like to see good
scrap, and I'm going to stay here until
the last man is punched. Then I'll go
home God bless all of you"
The evangelist was cheered as he
climbed out of the ring as the bell
sounded for the next bout

POPULAR PHYSICIAN SAYS
He COncede DiIIIngham's Plant Juice
Gods Best Gift to Man.

He COnCede Dillingham; Plant Julce
Gods Best Gift to Man.
1t matters not whether you consider
Dillingham; Plant Juice as a marvel
GUS remedy for the cure of diseases,
as a noble iife-saver when doctors
fail, or whether you consider it as a
great blood tissue builder, or as
natures ideal nerve tonic, from the
miraculous and seemingly inexplica-
BILE results it produces, you are forced
to conclude that it must have eman-
ated from some power superior to
man.
For centuries it has been the dream
of learned medical professors to find
a preparation that would prolOng hui
man life and restore the bouyancy OF
youth. But however wise man may
be, however much he has progressed,
Notwithstanding the marvellous inyen-
tons he has made, the wonderful ma
chimes he has designed, he is still
forced to bow to Uhe hand of nature.
A grain of wheat planted in the
ground draws substance from the
earth, appropriates the material ele-
ment from the earth and air, and be-
hold. a stalk of wheat springs up,
which bears its seeds and ripens in the
summer breeze. Can man make wheat:
Can man make food from the earth and
air?
Nature has given US a wonderful
plant whose juices are the juices OF
life, which abstracts its marvellous
health-giving properties from the
earth and air. Dillingham's Plant
Juice is a remedy made in natures
own laboratory by divine hand, which
may truly be termed Gods best gift to
man.
Plant Juice can be obtained at Bell
Bros. drug store.

GERMAN WITH A srLvERY SKIN
Took So Much Nitrate of Silver IT
Broke Out on Him.

Took So Much Nitrate of Silver 1t
Broke Out on Him.
A leading medical journal prints
a singular story of German whose
skin has lately changed gradually
from its ordinary character to a mix
ture of amalgam of flesh and silver,
with the prospect in the near future, if
this extraordinary development con-
tinues, of possessing an epidermis of
metal. The change is reported by the
medical paper to be due to a prescrip-
ton given by the mans doctor in
which nitro of silver figured promi-
nently. 1t was administered in the
form of pills and was intended to cure
nervous complaint The remedy
proved so effective that the patient
had recourse to the same sort of pills
for every complaint from which he af-
forwards suffered and dOsed himself
literally with them. After eleven
years of this treatment his friends be-
gan to notice that his face had a pc
culiar metallic hue, and to his aston
ishment he found that his body all
over had the same strange appear
ance. He took no more silver pills.
but it was too late to arrest the pro-
cess which had been set up. Since
then he has become more and more
metallic and shiny.

it becomes harder and harder to hold the

orphan colts and FLIES, not yet weaned,
are always taken in a big roundup, the
mothers breaking through and escaping.
These are usually shot, except such as
are taken by nearby farmers, who raise
them on milk until they are able to
