The State, Jan. 15. Atlanta, Jan. 14 ?South Carolina's tribute fco John B. Gordon was the feature of the memorial exercises in Georgia's capital today. Not since tha hndv of Jt-ffirson Davis passed through the southern cities on the way to its last resting place in Richmond has Atlanta seen such a demonstration of love and reverence \ for the dead as was the funeral of Gordon. Governors, Confederate leaders, southern orators and southera preachers spoke of the life and the death of Georgia's best loved son and their words were heard by a vast multitude of sorrowing admirers while other thousands were unable to get into the halls of State house or church. It is said that 50,000 people today thronged Capitol Hill. The hall of the house was unable to accommodate one-fifteenth of this throng while tb? church across the street was as readily filled. The hero's body lay 4o state under a guard of honor in the rotuna of the eapitol while the memorial services were being conducted up stairs. Gov. Terrel presided and made a most fitting speech. He was followed by Gen Stephen D. Lee, then by Gen. Clement A Evans and Judge Thos. G. Jones of Alabama. south Carolina's governor. Next was introduced the governor of South Carolina, Diican Clinch Heyward, a grandson of Georgia. Caro linians had reason to be proud 9f their governor today, very proud. He made the speech of bis career. He came to tell Georgia of her sister's sorrow and sympathy and the message he delivered well. Greeted with a round of applause his rich, low voice rang out full and strong, filling the large auditorium as no other voice filled it today and as he spoke of Gordon, the friend of Hampton and of South Carolina, eyes not used to tears were dim. The old soldiers were particularly touched by Gov. Heyward's words bo fervently Bpoken. the gray blanket of MOSS When the grave had been filled in ntoAAi) nnnn it. it WfiB Uie 111 Ob w/acu piavwu Hfv --7 ? the gray blanket of Spanish moss, which Gamp Wade Hampton's delegation had brought and which was made by Columbia women. Upon this were laid the many floral emblems. These were beautiful beyond description. At the church also there was amo9t magnificent disp'ay of flowers very tastefully arranged around the high pulpit. the south carolina delegation. Those composing the delegation were: Gov. Heyward, Senators J. Q Marshall, Robert Aldrich and J. W. Stanland and Representatives J. H. Brooks, Jeremiah Smith. J. W. King, W. E Cames and CjI. M P. Tribble. Judge Ernest Gary represented ; the judiciary. From Camp Hampton are: Col. John C. Haskell, Capt. D J. Griffith, D. Card well and W. W. Lumpkin. Cured Lumbago. A. B. Canman, Chicago, writes March 4, 1903: "Having been troubled with Lumbago at different fimofi and tried one ohvsician after anothei; tbea different ointments j and linaments, gave it up altogetber. So I tried once more, and got. a bottle of Ballard's Snow Linament, wbicb gave me almost instant relief. I can cheerfully recommend it, and will add my name to your list of former suffers." 25i, 50c and $1.00. Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Japan Reply's. Washington, Jan. 14 ?Mr. Taka- j hira, the Japanese minister here, today called upon Secretary Hay and informed him that the Japanese reply to last Russian note bad been delivered this morning. The reply amounts to a denial of all the Russian propositions aod Japan's counter proposals are of a nature that it is said will almost certainly make them ur acceptable to Russia. Therefore the most pessemistic view of the future is taken at Tokio. On the other hand advices that come to the state department from Paris, St. Petersburg and Berlin are all of a pacific character. Ambassador Porter at Paris cables that pressure is to be brought to bear upon the would-be-belligerents, and particularly upon Japan, by at least two of the great neutrai powers, to cause them to come to terms and so avert ooen hostilities. The czar also I is reported to be extremely desirous of preventing war. Taking these two conflicting sets of advices into considerations the official opinion here is that Ja^an will not yield to any such pressure. Deafnsss Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the deseaeed portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafaess is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucotis lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destoyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

"Why," exclaimed the mother, "Mr. Skaggs has asked sister to marry him. That means that she will live in his house after this, and he'll take care of her." "Buy her things?" asked the boy. "Yea." "Hats and dinners and ice cream and everything?" he persisted. "Yes," was the answer. The boy thought it all over for a moment, and then he said: "Well, ain't that man got nerve, thought v Saved From Terrible Death. The family of Mre. M. L.
