The great stone dam thrown
across the Yadkin river near Sails
bury, N, c., is an engineering feat
of highest Importance. The dam
is 81 feet high and 917 feet long
The minimum flow of water will
give 46,000-horse power, which is
said to be second only to Niagara
Falls in source of available cleo
trical energy. The power is to De
distributed by wire to mills with
in radius of forty to fifty miles.
In the cotton belt there are nu-
merous water powers, not SO large
as this but quite large and valua-
bic, that will be developed and set
TO turning spindles and driving
looms within the course of a few
years. The development Of cleo
trical transmission means much
for mill building IN the South.

WILL BE HERE SATURDAY.

The Carl Hagenbeek and Great Wal.
lace Shows Combined has completed
all arrangements for its exhibition in
Marietta, Saturday, September 2sth.
The hageDbeck & Wallace Circus has
again been enlarged this year, and
scores of new novelties and features
will DE seen for the first time in this
country under their tents. In past
seasons these shows have been so large
that either was the equal of any SINH
lar enterprise in magnitude, and this
season it will be even more bewilder-
ing for the laymen, for it has been very
materially increased. Many more cars
nave been added 1t may be readily
seen that the Hagenbeck & Wallace
Circus proposes to retain it's place in
the very foremost rank of tented amuse-
ments. Not only is this true concern
ing its size, but also Of it's performance
Many exclusively new and original fes-
lures have been secured, and the won
derful trained wild-anlmal exhibitions
are the talk and wonder everywhere,
and no other circus can produce them.

REFORM COMES HIGH.

A news dispatch from the
Enquirer-Sun's Atlanta CORE
spondent states that Judge A, l..
Miller, of Macon, will receive 49,
500 for seven days of service as
umpire in five railway tax arbltra-
ton cases. OF this amount the
State will pay one-half and the
railroads the other half, This
salary rate shows that it pays the
umpire to arbitrate. Judge Miller
will receive a so much higher rate
Of pay than any State official that
comparison in that respect is hard
ly worth while. Counting the
seven days of Judge Miller's SER
vice as week days, he will be paid
at the rate of $171, 900 per year,
or nearly three and one-half times
as much as is considered proper
remuneration for the president of
the United States.
The interest on 100000 at
six per cent. per annum is 49,
807.67 for a week, or $7.67 more
than the Judge will receive, The
workingmen, farmers, and bust
ness men generally, who pay the
taxes, will contemplate with inter-
est the payment of this umpire at
the rate of nearly $543 per day,
or $54. 30 per hour, if he worked 10
hours per day. A great many men
in Georgia do not earn per month
much more than the latter amount.
Reform comes high under the
new administration. Columbus

s.sTANDING ROOM ONLY.

That was the verdict of the people
who had the pleasure of seeing The G..
W. Park Dramatic Company Monday
and Tuesday nights in their mammoth
waterproof canvas theatre.
The advance courier announced that
the @. W. Park Company was one of the
best on the road, and the performances
here proved every assertion. On Mon
day evening, in presenting Under
Southern Skies" they produced grand
performance, with gorgeous scenic eff
fects and wonderful electric display.
The acting of the company in general
was above the average of travelling
companies, and was on par with many
companies that play Atlanta.
The audiences were more than pleas
ed, if applause and laughter is a cri-
terion
The Company changes program every
night. Nothing repeated-plays or
specialties.

LEG BROKEN.

Mr.. A. w. Gordon, of Middleton, Ga,
who is an employee in the bridge gang
Of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Allan
tic railroad, was carried to the Grady
hospital last night about II O'Clock with
a broken leg. Gordon had a narrow
escape from death. He fell out of the
second-story window OF a building on
Peters street, part of which is occu-
pied by the Marlborough saloon. His
fall was partly broken by an awning,
but this did not save him from injury.
Rolling off the awning, he struck the
pavement below. His leg was fractur-
ed between the knee and the hip and
he received bad cuts about the face

Mrs. Annie Worley, of Mt. Car
mel, H., is a much chagrined
young woman. Three weeks ago
she left her husband, street car
conductor, declaring she could no
longer endure his grinding pow
erty," and applied for a divorce.
Last week Worley fell heir to a
fortune of $4,000 to 100000;
whereupon the gentle Annie sent
him word that she was sorry for
what she had done and hoped they
might be reconciled. But Worley
replied that "there was nothing
doing" As soon as Annie has Sc
cured her divorce, Worley will
probably look about and find him
self an affinity to help enjoy
his fortune.

Our National Danger.
Time to Cry Halt Before a Panic
Comes,


The business spirit is crushing out
the sweeter element Of home life. We
are in danger of great commercial
decline, because men, as a whole, think
only OF getting wealth.
There are thousands, both men and
women, who do not take time to eat
properly. They rush through life, and
as result we have an age of indiges-
sion, nervousness, irritability, sleepIess
nights, and morose disposition.
With the discovery of Mi-o-na tablets,
there is no longer any excuse for one to
have i'll health from stomach weakness.
Mi.o-na strengthens the walls Of the
stomach, stimulates secretion of the
digestive juices, regulates the liver and
restores muscular contraction to the
intestines and bowels, so no laxative is
needed.
Sick headaches, palpitation, bad taste
in the mouth, yellow skin, irritability,
coated tongue and melancholy are
few of the many distressing results of
indigestion. Mi-o-na never fails to dis
pei all these troubles.
@. M. Crosby & Co. sell Mi-o.na in
50-cent boxes, and guarantee to refund
the money If the remedy does not give
complete sst'ofsction.

LETTER TO GEORGE SESSIONS,

Dear Sir: If customer wants $35 so
do you give him SIS?
Suppose you should hear of one of
your customers doing a thing like that
and not knowing it, what would you say
next time he wants discount?
Wen venture half your men are do
ing that very thing without suspicion.
Men who paint any other paint than
Devoe are paying SIS for $35 so or some
other such figure.
10 gallons Devoe is enough for a
good-size house two coats; Is or 20
isn't too much of another paint. There's
$S.75 or 81. so for or 10 extra gallons ;
besides 81 to 81 a gallon for putting it
on; that's SIG to $40. That's how half
the houses stores factories warehouses
shops barns fences are painted: $50 for
paint and labor $25 to $50 more for

There are some dangers incident to railroad
travel which it is impossible to eliminate en-
tirely. Accidents will happen ON the best regu-
lated railroads, notwithstanding all the safety
devices which have been put into practical use
during the last few years, although some man.
ayers seem to be more successful than others in
reducing these accidents TO a minimum Even
the block system, hailed as the triumph Of hui
man ingenuity in It's own particular field, is by
But beyond these dangers there is a more for
midable one, the malicious tampering with
tracks and switches with intent to cause damage
to property regardless Of the possibilities Of loss
of human life.
Not long ago a fast train was wrecked through
the action of a child who wanted to see how n
train wreck lOOked-a perverted impulse prob
ably created by the perusal of sensational lit
erature. Now the officials of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad are called upon TO solve the problem
Of the persistent efforts to wreck its fast trains
between New York and Chicago That these
attempts are prompted by malice rather than a
desire for pecuniary gain is evidenced by the
lack Of any attempt TO rob the wrecked trains
and by the attack made upon train near Pitts
burg day or two ago, when stones were thrown
through the windows and a number of persons
painfully If not seriously hurt. That some OF
these efforts 10 do great damage have not been
successful is by no means owing to lack Of care
