HYDRoPHoBIA CURED.

A Remedy That Is Said to Have Been
Successfully Used in Pennsylvania.
From the Country Gentleman.
can give facts which may be of
use to somebody, thereby saving life.
The time between the biting CT an
animal by mad dog and showing
signs of hydrophobia is not less than
nine days, but may be nine months.
After the animal has become rabid,
bite or scratch with the teeth upon a
person, or slobber coming in contact
with sore or raw place, would pre-
duce hydrophobia just as though he
had been bitten by mad dog. Hy-
drophobia can be prevented, and I will
give what is well known to be an
infallible remedy, II properly admins
tered, for man or beast. A dose for a
horse or COW should be about four
times as great as for a person. II is
not too late to give medicine any time
before the spasms come on.
The first dose for person is one
and a half ounces OF elecampane root
bruised. put into pint Of new milk
reduced to onehalf by boiling, ther
taken all at one dose in the morning

very light diet after several hours
have elapsed. The second dose same
as first except take two ounces of the
root; third dose the same as last. to
be taken every ether DAY. Three doses
are all that is needed and there need
be no fair. This know from my own
experience, and | know Of number
Oh otha& cases where it has been sue
cessful. This is no guess work. Those
persons | allude TO were bitten by
their own dogs, that had been bitten
by rabid dogs, and were penned up to
see if they would go mad. They did
so mad and did bite the persons.
This remedy has been used in and
about Philadelphia for 40 years and
longer, with great success, and is
known as the Goodman remedy | am
acquainted with a physician who told
me he knew of its use for more than
80 years, but never knew of a case
that failed where it was properly ad-
ministered. Among other cases he
mentioned one where number of
cows had been bitten by a mad dog.
To half of this number they admins
tered this remedy to the other half
not. The latter all died of hydropho-
bia. while those that took the elecam-
pane and milk showed no sign of that
disease.

to be considered by the extra session

Other influential legislators. stanch
prohibitionists, too, doubt the wisdom
of such a course, however, and have

The failure of the nearbeer tax in
the senate, coupled with the realiz-
ing that intoXication is on the increase

attitude Of those who would have the
governor authorize the consideration
Iof additional prohibitory legislation.
1t is calimed that the near beer de-

the bar down and that today Georgia

FLAW FOUND IN
HEADLIGHT BILL
SENATE ONLY PASSED A SUB
STITUTE TO BILL PASSED
BY THE HOUSE,

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. ia protest
will be made against the enforcement
lof the Tiff electric headlight bill. The
Legislature intended to pass it, and
thought and believes that such was
done. Good railroad lawyers claim
that the measure-the only one prac-
tically which imposes any new obIi-
cation on the railroads-is dead be-
cause cf an unintentional omission on
the part of the senate
The bill was introduced in the house
by the representative from Dougher-
lty. It requires all railroads to equip
its locomotives with electric head
lights.
In the senate the measure was pass
led by substitute, which merely pro-
vided that the railroad commission
could order headlights on locomotives
The house refused to concur in the
substitute. The senate receded from
its action in passing the substitute
Thinking this was sufficient to make
the original bill a law nothing more
was done.
1t has been discovered that the vote
ito recede was only IS to IL which
was not constitutional majority, and
lit is claimed. if in receding from it's
former action passed the original bill,
the action was not legal as the ma
jority was not that required by the
constitution.
If an effort is made to enforce the
law it will be contested in the
courts.
The railroad companies estimate it
will cost between two and three hun
dred thousand dollars to enforce the
measure.

parien Paper Denies Report That the
Road Has Been Sold and Tells
of Some of The Improvements
Being Made.

The following from the Darien Ga
zette. concerning the c., c. & P. rail
road. will be Of interest in this city:
Mr.. J. S. Mallard. of Ludowici. is
the new roadmaster. and he has in
structions to put the G., c. & p. road
way and bridges in good shape at
once.
We are glad to announce to the
travelling public that the Darien juno
ition will soon have that new depot.
We learn around town that the new
manager is paying claims against the
railroad that were previously consid-
cred more of a liability than an asset
by the claimant. We know the people
|of Darien will join us heartily in ex-
pressing our appreciation of this effort
TO right the wrong of the past in this
direction.
The report that the Georgia Coast

latelysis a mistake and there is moth
ing in it. The road has the same own
ers and there has been no change
Whatever in the ownership. we are
told. The change in the general man
Iagement of the road took place on the
lst OF August, notice of the change
having been previously published. A
meeting of the stockholders will be
held the coming month to confirm the
recent change.
The new schedule on the G. G. & p.
railroad will go into effect on Sunday
next and on and after that day trains
will come in and go out twice every
day. The train will arrive in the morn
ing at $50 and will leave at II in the
morning. In the afternoon the train
arrives at 800 and leaves at $50
o'clock.
The new schedule is good one and
will be satisfactory to the people along
the line. 1t is up to the citizens of
the towns along the G. c. & p. to
show their appreciation of this, new
policy of giving the people good sery-
ice, by giving the road sufficient traf
hc to insure success of this new and
more expensive schedule. If the read
IS now patronized as it should be the
schedule will be made permanent.
1T is learned that General Manager
Mendes appeared before the railroad
commissioner last week in regard to
complaints of poor passenger accom-
modations at the Darien Junction. The
two railroads have promised to make
the desired improvements within 60
days"

TO HOLD SPECIAL MEETING.
To Discuss Extension of G. c. G. p to
This City.

1t was learned in the city yesterday
that special meeting of the stock
holders of the Georgia Coat and
Piedmont railroad would be held at
an early date, probably the first part
of next month, for the purpose of TAX
ing up the matter Cf extending the

that when they hold the meeting next

NO CASE FILED
BY COMMISSION
COMMISSION WILL NOT
TAKE ACTION ON RATE MAT
TER AT PRESENT,
Has Decided Not to File Case With In
terstate Commerce Commission
Because Case from Georgia
is Now Pending.

The railroad commission has decid-
ed that it would not at this time pre-
sent a case to the interstate commerce
commission attacking the increased
freight rates. which have recently been
put into effect by the railroad.
The reason for the action is that
similar case from Georgia, attacking
these rates, brought by A. P. Morgan
& Co., of Atlanta, and other Georgia
shippers, is now pending before the
interstate commerce commission, and
|the state railroad commission consid-
cred that action on its part along the
same line would be unnecessary. The
state railroad commissioners were
strengthened in this view by the re-
ceipt of advices from Chairman Knapp
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, to the effect that the Georgia
case would be taken up and acted on
early in September.
During the meeting J. S. b. Thomp-
son, general agent and assistant to the
president of the Southern railway, ap-
peared before the commission and
made further statement with regard
to the rate increases in question. Mr.
Thompson went into some interesting
details and the conclusion of his ar
gument as presented to the commits
sion was that in the situation which
things is necessary: To lower wages,
to raise rates, or to go into bankrupt
cy. They had been practically forbid
den tC lower wages, he said, so that an
increase of rates was the only alter
native to bankruptcy, which they nat
urally desired to avoid.
The railroad commission, it will be
recalled, issued an order protesting
against the increased rates, and it was
the commissions purpose, it is stated,
to take the matter before the inter
state commerce commission unless the
increase was taken off. AS a Georgia
case against these rates has already
been filed with that body, the state
commission decided that this action
would be unnecessary at present.
The railroad commission also issued
an order directing the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah Railroad Company, to
stop it's passenger trains on flag at the
two stations en- it's line known as
Pixies Peak and Atlantic. These were
f, ,9melly flag stations, but were dis
continued as such, and their residents
made a complaint to the commission,
which resulted in this order.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-Two
white men were killed, an Unknown
negro was lynched, more than half a
hundred persons were injured and two
score of houses, mostly occupied by
negroes, were burned last night as the
result of an attempt by mob to lynch
a negro who had assaulted a white
woman.
Il was night of riot, arson and
slar .nter. The troops called out by
the governor succeeded early Satur-
day in restoring a semblance of order
and stopping the fire. One thousand
military men are patrolling the streets
and it is believed further disorder will
be prevented.
The ricting was precipitated by an
assault committed Friday by a negro
upon Mr.. Mabel Hallam, wife of a
street railway conductor.
While the woman slept alone in her
home on a populous residence street
awaiting the return of her husband,
the man broke into the house, dragged
her irto the rear yard and assaulted
her. Before noon George Richardson,
a Young negro, was arrested by the
sheriff's force and charged with the
crime The victim partially identified
the prisoner Crowds quickly gath
cred about the jail, but Sheriff Wer-
ners force and the police were able
TO preserve order until nightfall with
our difficulty. Shortly after 5 o'clock
successful ruse was worked by the
authorities and Richardson was spir-
tied away to safety.
Richardson was placed aboard a
train and rushed to Peoria, along
with him being taken Joe James, an
other negro accused of killing state
mine inspector, after attempting an
assault upon the inspectors daughter.
The mob gathered at the Jail after
darkness to find the negroes gone.
Lopers restaurant was demolished,
some one having mentioned that Lo-
per furnished the automobile in which
the negroes were taken away.
They burned his automobile in the
street Efforts of the fire department
to disperse the crowds were futile.
Every line of hose was cut before the
water could be forced into it. The
militia ordered out by the governor
was busy at the jail, and none could
be spared at the scene of the Loper
rioting. Finally troop was sent to a
restaurant when the rioting became
loose in serious form. Shots were

NIGHT OF ARSON
AND BLOODSHED
A SERIOUS CLASH OCCURRED
BETWEEN THE WHITES AND
BLACKS.
Negroes are Armed and Whites are
Prepared for Another Outbreak
Three Regiments PatrolIing
the Streets

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Aug. 15.-
Troops are being rushed here from all
parts Of the state. The negroes are
leaving by trains, trolley cars, and
many on foot. The mob spirit seems
still to be rampant, although the gov
ernor and the military authorities now
claim they have the situation we'll in
hand.
The First infantry of Chicago was
ordered to start for Springfield on
the first train that could be made up.
When this organization arrives the
town will be protected by three full
regiments. Despite the claim of the
authorities that the mob is held in
subsection there is every chance OF
another clash between the white and
the colored people. ,
The negroes are well armed and
are showing a spirit of determination.
The white people are in an ugly mood
and farmers and men from adjoining
towns are constantly arriving.
w. H. Bowe, assistant county treas
urer, was attacked by crowd of ne
groes and fatally wounded. This has
,:astasss' ed to the excitement and resent
menL Us already tense.
A db patch from Decatur, Ill, says
many negro men who arrived from
Springfield are trying to arouse the
people and. urging them to go back to
Springfield and fight. Several of
them have been arrested and weap,
ons taken from them. Unless the
military succeeds during the day in
quelling the mob much more effect
ually than has been done up to the
present time, it is feared the night
will bring mere serious trouble than
has yet occurred.
