SARGE PL rl "Tiere is IDiin^cr in th Wi Mlaitt.i < Vi J>v?n a hou is sensitive to the h low ' iug of an east wind, and thai in tlie principal wind we have had ol lute. 1 spent four days last week watch ing the effect of the wind. The vege table kingdom seem- to srjuirui as much from au east wind's touch as the animal, and it- blight maybe noticed in the drooping of stems and the wither of leaves. A six weeks' drought has been upon us and then I came this wind from the cast to cap ' the climax of the farmer's disappoint ment-. The old steers draw them selves up in a knot behind some place of shelter and cat but little of the food they seem so much to need. Horses drive dull against this wind and cows fall short in milk. The birds refuse to sing. 1 watched close : for lour days and not a song of birds did 1 hear?not even the chirp of a < sparrow. There is only one bird that j ? seems disposed to be fussy when the j i wind is from the cast. The owl, the j I wind seems to effect him somewhat as | I it docs man. His "who-wbo" and j f "who-whos" is as common at night ! 1 as the east wind blows as the old ? man's growls are in the day. There ! a is no old man can stand the touch of humor, and as for the old women, tl Jerusalem! I would no more try to ' o get up a smile at the breakfast table I c on mornings when the wind is from t the east, than I would try to take ! \ wings aoJ fly. It is a powerful good b time to find out all the mean thingH w an old woman has laid up against you, and that is not good. I But we have to take the.se winds as ! s they come, be they good or be they j c evil, until science has invented some j tl means to overcome the bad effects, j c The first step toward such an end 1J would be to get the gentlemen of sta- ! ji tistical turn to keep account of the ' at proportion of evil that comes from an o: oast wind's blowing. The old-time 1 II printers used to tell me that they could tell when the paper was going ; w :to be filled with crime?they asserted b that there was the most of this when w the wind was from the oast. One of : It them vowod to me that Lincoln and tl Viarficld were killed under the influ ence of an cast wind. A mau of my own county assures me that he has made it his business to study the crimes of DeKalb, in connection with this wind, for the past fifty or sixty years. lie began taking points upon this lino at the time of the Grahame .murder. >G rahame was killed at Stone .Mountain by one of his owu slaves. This slave was hired out to a hotel in Atlanta. He performed all his usual work, retired to bed, but during the night he slipped out from the hotel, footed it all the way to the mountain ?sixteen miles?killed his master and returned to his bed at the hotel in Atlanta without creating the single {blunder to cause suspicion. He did c:akc the mistake of telling about the murder before it wan known by nny one else in the city and this was the clew that led to his disoovcry. He ? was hanged near Decatur before tho war and claimed that the east wind blew terribly the night he committed Ii the deed, and was still blowing in tho I morning when he made the blunder of ? telling about the murder before the .arrival of the Georgia railroad train. A man by the name of Jolly is serv ing a life sentence in the Georgia (penitentiary from our county for a crime committed soon after the war. 'JThis man murdered a young woman by the name of Norris. Miss Norris was living with Jolly at the time as a help to Mtb. Jolly. It had come time for tbc young woman to return to her home in some distant oounty and all the arrangements wore mado to this cud. Her trunk was packed on the day before the day appointed for her leaving. On the morning of her dc parturc they had started before day. Jolly had her and her trunk in his wagon and they drove facing an east wind. As they drove the wind blew and the man's desire to murder the girl came upon him. Before they had proceeded a mile the wind had worked Lim up to the point and he murdered the girl. He buried her in a field near by, burned her trunk and there was no auspioion of the crime having been committed. The people here in nur onmity thought the girl had just returned to her home and so the mat ter rested for a number of years. In the meantime Jolly had moved away to Toxs3. Tho old field where the girl bad been buried had grown up in pines and briars and there had never been a thought connecting Jolly with ?tho murder. There were other crimes -charged against the man and for these the sheriff went to Texas and brought hinvbaok.' He was safely placed in toe jail of oar county and lie will tell yon to-day that tho oast wind blowing J| w it N k< U| d< m tv u] to ct tl n< y< fil m 81 W ,UNKETT. e 'Hlowin^ of iin East ncl. liSlilillotH. in at tho window upon him put tho ! lirst -pell ujtoii him that led to the discovery of tlu: crime. He gave his : liior a hint aud the news spread like wildtirc. It was perhaps the wildest day ever known in De Kalk. The people went wild, hut .Jolly retracted. The wind had got around from the south and he felt better, wanted to live and denied having committed any such crime. Hut the people were not satisfied. They gathered from every direction with picks and shovels aud literally dug up .lolly's old home place. They had failed to find any thing like a grave after a three days' search. In the meantime, however, the wind had. whirled back from the cast and Jolly was ready again to con fess. He sent for Captain Hunter, who was then sheriff, and made a full confession and offered to go and point jut the grave. Arrangements were uadc for a team and a guard and away .hey started with .lolly for the place. Upon arriving at the place there was ound fully a thousand men scattered icre and there still searching for the ;rave, while the cast wind whistled ind the sheriff became alarmed for his uisoner. There was no time for lelay and there was not any. Jolly rdcrcd the driver to turn out at a ertain place in the woods and before hey had gone a hundred yards he tointed to a spot where the briars and ushes had grown thicker than clsc rherc and said simply? "That's the place." The sheriff ordered a man with a hovel and tho Eecond spadeful un overcd the skull of tho girl, while lie east wind blowed and Jolly Bhiv red. It was a race for life to get oily away from there and back to ill, but it was accomplished, as was 3complished a great many grand acts f our then sheriff, Captain James I unter. 1 have no doubt but the east wind as blowing when Flanagan committed is act, and the same with Perry and ith Sharpo. Does any one know? ; is time that science took a hold of lis question. But the great evil of the dry east ind or the wet east wind is the effect has on the pursuit of agriculture, o matter how much wo may desire to ?cp the young men of the country ;>on the farms wc know it cannot be )nc without some way is provided to eet the blight of tho seasons. For fo years now this blight has fell pou us and wc can think of no way * make the young men receive it icci fully. Old men can understand iat there is blight in whatever busi ;ss you engage, but when two suoh :ars come upon us in succession, we id it not in our heart to blame young en for being despondent. It is irely a gloomy time with farmers hen I fail to brag on farming. . Sarue Pmjnkett. ee Blood Cure?An Offer Proving Faith to Sufferers. Is your blood pure ? Are you sure ' it ?

On the Whisky Traffic. Mr. Editor: 1 have road with much interest the article in the Advocate of January I, 1MD<?, written by Dr. Love joy, of the North Georgia Confer ence, headed "The I'ight for Prohibi tion in Georgia." In that article l>r. Love joy says: 1 do not know now i; is ifi other States, hat it was a no ticeable fact that during the debate in both House the antispeakers projected the discussion on the lowest plane.'' The changes were rung on: "This hill makes war on the Democratic party," "It is opposed to self-govern ment," '"It would destroy the vested rights of citizens who had hundreds of thousands of dollars in the liquor busi ness," ''It would eut off the revenues of cities, ^and thousands of children would he turned out of school," "It would increase taxes." In Alabama and every other State where a blow has been aimed at this "Common Knemy," the name you so appropriately give the liquor traffic on the fifteenth page of the Advocate, the Georgia speech is the-same, and to alvoeatc this nefarious traffic is to descend to the "lowest plane" be cause there is no other plane, no in termediate plane, no high plane, but the "lowest plane" is the only plane. If to advocate sobriety and temper ance and defend home with all of its hallowed associations aud plead for good government makes war ou any political party, the hotter and fiercer the war is waged the better, and if political parties are to be kept alive by such appeals as come from this "lowest plane," the sooner they die the better, and over its corpse no tear tvill fall from the eye of the widow, or jriny drop run down the cheek of the 'atherless little one made so by this 'Common Enemy." No man who oves good government and the hal owed influence of a pure homo will )c found to do the lifeless form rev irencc. Only thoae who love and in lulge in the plea from this "lowest >lane" will sigh at its- demise. In Alabama the same Georgia ipeech comes from the politicians of his "lowest plane," tho same kind of pithets arc applied to preachers, and he same fumes of liquor come from heir breath, aud, strange to say, these ellows who plead from tho "lowest -lane" have a powerful influence over ireaeher and member, be ho steward, cacon, or elder, and in Alabama these 'lowest plane" fellows boast that one f them "can wield a more powerful fluenee than one thousand preach rs." I heard one of these low-plane men ay once that ho had rather have Mr. -on his sido in a political fight ban all the preaohers in Alabama, 'his man ho preferred1 ran two dog eries? some men oall them-saloons. Preaohers don't seen;'to realize how hey are watched1 and quoted*by these sllows who plead' from- "the lowest lane." Officials in the church seem to Drget that to go into these doggeries, nd drink liquor, and then go te? hurch on Sunday and pass-the basket round to take up the collection aro a lughing stock for certain, young men, nd are referred- to* by the men who eep these doggeries- as- their "best ustomers, because they get their iCSCJ ??d tiiuir iuuuonoe coo.' No young man ever took a drink of quor to he like the- drunkard! who -allows in his vomit,, but thousands f young men take a drink because of ho example of Goloaol1, or General, or udge So aad So, who is a steward, eaoon, or el den.

To this he simply said: 'Aotions speak loudfir than wards ometlmes, and I beard him, vote gainst a temperance report." I was talking to some boys not long go about drinking, and warning them f the evil effects of liquor. One of hem, a bright-looking littlo fellow* aid: "If it is as bad as you sayK ooks like Mr.- would not drink, ,od he is a steward, too," "Let tho stewards bo men of solid nety."

I was so feeble from the effects of the diarrhoea that I could do no kind of labor, eonld not even travel, but by accident I was permitted to find a bottle of Chamberlain's Colio, Choi-, era and Diarrhoea Remedy, and after taking several bottles I am entirely cured of that trouble.

A New Century Re\i>al. All of tho free churches of England aro joined in an effort to open the new century with a great evangelical revi val. Eight days are to be giveu to the task, apart from the mouths of preparations, which have already been begun. In this task of preparation the Christian Endeavor and other lay help is brought into use. The meet ings will begin on Saturday night, .January being the month selected, cover the two following .Sundays aud terminate on Monday evening. The London meeting.- are to be held in ad vance of those in the province; this for local effect. There arc to be six London centres?principal centres, each of which will have many subor dinate centres. In other cities of England the num ber of principal centres, each with subordinate ones, will number from one to six, according to size, and the work is already b?gua to sec that no city, however small, is omitted from the plan. The date will be about a fortnight after the close of the London meetings. Evangelists from one to 10 in number will be sent to each city, according to size, and pastors will help out. There will be special services for milkmen, for car drivers, for fallen women, newspaper boys, etc. Some of these will be held at early hours in the morning, one of them at 3 a. m. They will be held at any hour those for whom they are held can best at tend. The aim is, first to reach peo ple of all grades and to provide meet ings anywhere aud at any times; second, to converge these meetings upon central mass meetings. There is a movement on foot in this country to make this year a year of prayer and preparation for the incom coming new century. A call to this end is issued to the people of the Lfnited States and ia signed by many representative men, including such names as those of the Rev. Dr. J. II. Barrows, ?Joseph Strong, Washington Gladden, Theodore L. Cuyler, C. I. 3oofield, and Bishops Gilbert, of Min nesota. Leonard of Ohio, Doane, of Albany: Andrews, of New York, etc. The appeal is to Christians to make :he year one of prayer, work and pre paration and education by Bible study ind study of missionary and other progressive Christian work, in order ,hat a great revival of religion may be ?repared for in the oj>ening year of he new century.

Why She Bounded Skyward. A pretty bicycle girl, in a smart wheeling costume, stopped yesterday afternoon to watch Peter Hendricks build a bridge over a small creek at George's road, just outside of New Brunswick, New Jersey. The girl seated herself on the grassy bank to observe the work of bridge huilding. A minute later she bound ed into the air shrieking wildly, and then fell backward into a clump of bushes. Much alarmed, Peter ran to her as sistance, carrying a big pail of water. Ik- thought she had been overcome by the heat. He was about to douse her with the water wheu she waved him back frantically. "Arc you ill. Let mc help you," said Peter, with the kindliest inten tions in the world. "You can do nothing," sobbed the girl, who was clearly suffering the most acute physical pain. I sat down on a yellow jacket's nest." "Just let me get some wet mud," Peter began; but the girl started off on a wild run, and disappeared in a farmer's house some distance away, where the farmer's wife administered aid. Later, when the girl returned for her wheel, she didn't look in Peter's direction and he made believe he didn't see her.?New York World. Them's the Rules. A visitor in Paris was seated at a table in one of the high-priced restau rant? in the exhibition grounds think ing of various things as he read over the bill of fare and observed the prices. "By thuoder!" he exclaimed to the waiter, "haven't you any conscience at all in this p!??ce?" "Beg pardon r" replied the haughty servitor. "Haven't you-any conscience?eon science?conscior>*e? Don't you un derstand?" The waiter pio&ed up the bill of] fare and began lbokhig it over. "I don't know iP we have or not. If I we have, it's on tho-bill; if we-ain't, you've got to pay extr?for it.
