CONGRESSTHE
COMING SESSION LIKELY TO
23 E UNUSUALLY LIVELY.
Gossip About the Organization of the
House-The Struggle for Offices?Speakership
Contest?Southern "Outrages"
Legislation, Etc.
Washington. October 20.?Although
Congress will not assemble for six week.-,
speculation has already become veiy
lively as to the organization of the
House of Representatives and the piobable
course of legislation during the
eight months that Congress may be expeeted
to remain in session. Of all the
candidates for I he elective offices of the
lfouse it is likely that Mr. Edward
McPherson. who wishes to take hue I his
old place of clerk, can give the bes1 approximate
estimate of his own strength.

systematic canvasser i>i the United
States than Mr. McPUerson. He always
begins ahead of the other fellows, and
lie obtains his pledge's in such shape that
lie knows exactly who cm be depended
upon and who is uncertain. When the
last Republican House of Representatives
came together, in December, 1881,
it was found that Mr. MclMierson had
received assurances of support from
many of the members months before,
.1 from not a lew even in advance of
l eir election. This will doubtless^be
the ease again: but whether, as before,
Mr. MclMierson will have enough to give
him the nomination can be told only
after the meeting of the caucus
rr.NNSY LVANIA "K a KI:US. "
The only prominant candidates for
clerk of the House arc Mr. Mcpherson
and Major John M. (.'arson, the Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia
1/il'ji r. Both these gcntlcmcu arc
Pennsylvania'!)*. They are both men of
t1h* nigncx persun.ii ciuiracier, ui line
ability and of enlarged experience. One
or the oilier will be made clerk. The
settlement of ihe contest may turn upon
the strength which each has in Ills own
delegation. Major Carson's friends
contend that the majority of the Pennsylvania
delegation will be for him, but
tiii.; is denied on Mr. McPhersou's behalf.
In 1 I several of the Pennsylvania
members were bitterly opposed to
Mr. McPhersou and declared they would
not vote for him even if he received
the "caucus nomination. It was also
currently reported at the same time
that several Republican members of the
House would refuse to vote for Mr.
Keifer, who owed his nomination for
Speaker to the skill and finesse of a
well-known Washington* correspondent,
who has for many years been recognized
as one of the very ablest and
boldest politieal managers in the whole
country, it was this same correspondent
who conceived and carried out the
plan which gave a Republican Legislature
in Delaware last year and secured
a United States Senator for that party.
When the timecaiueto vote in the House
for Speaker and Clerk all those who had
threatened to bolt Keifer and McPherson
catne to (he scratch, although some of
them made aw fully wry faces over it.
Then, as now, the Republican majority
was slender, and a bolter ran the risk
of not only seriously, but fatally, impairing
his own party status.

iui* ?uliu u&majsv* xriri uuwmvr.trtii.
The talk of a bolt by the Southern
Republican members, notwithstanding
so much has been said about it in the
papers, was never considered here of
consequence. The disgust and disap
pointment of the Southern Republican
- members at their r.?lTure to receive from
the Harrison administration what they
held to be due them has beeh evident
enough for a long time. But they could
not better themselves by a bolt, and
* that idea, which a few of them entertained,
was long since abandoned Mr.
McComas of Maryland, who laid his
plans early in the last session of Congress
for the election of his friend,
Captain Adams, as doorkeeper, is entirely
confident that Adams will be the
winning man. The Southern Republicans,
under the lead of Mr. McComas,
will ask -for Mr. Adams, and the belief
is they will get him. The doorkeeper
of the House has most of the offices at
his disposal, and it is generally conceded
that the Southern Republicans
will demand the lion's share of the
offices under him. Mr. McComas will
doubtless have a good deal to say about
these offices.
THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST.
The contest for Speaker of the House
is narrowed clown, like that for Clerk,
to two men?McKinlev of Ohio and
Heed of Maine. The chances of these
t wo appear to be almost evenly balanced.
The East seems to be nearly unanimous
for Heed, and the West for McKinlev.
The Southern Hepresentativcs, should
they throw their votes in a body, can
certainly make the Speaker. As it is,
the canvass for I his oltiee will be prosecuted
with unusual vigor and animation
from now up to the minute of the meeting
of the caucus. Both of the candidates
arc in the contest with their coats
olf. If it was to he decided simply on
ilie intrinsic merits of the case, Mr.
Melvinley would get the prize. For
while lie may possess 1.0 higher intellectual
gifts than Mr. Heed, he is
broader, lie would come nearer to tlie
elevated standard of a Speaker as set
up by Mr. Carlisle. With Mr. Heed it
would be a simple impossibility to rise
above the blind partisan in the consideration
of any question.
PROSPECTS FOR THE SESSION.
Quite a sprinklingof members of both
houses are alieady in Washington for
tne season, and many have been coining
in the last week or ten days on brief
visii.> To make arrangements tor winter
quarters, etc. The House members, in
j-pi a king of the offices of that body, oxjue>s
naturally, of course, their individual
preferences. The Democrats of
the two hotists, having nothing to do
with the question of the offices, confine
the expression of their views to the probable
legislation of the session. The
Republicans talk both about the offices
and legislation. Every one seems to
think it next to certain that something
wiil be done with the tariff, but as to
that no one scc-ms disposed to venture
upon a prediction. So far as any other
legislation of gem rd importance is concerned
there is a variety of opinion and
of expectation.
S<HTHERN LEGISLATION.
The Chandlers and the lloars in the
Senate, and their followers in the House,
will, it is assured, make the usual motions
for the raising of committees of
investigation into Southern polities, and
weeks ol time will becomsumed by them
in going over the old stories they have
been telling for a quarter of a century.
From these discussions wil^bc hatched
a new series of election biits for use in
the South only. Whether or not these
bills become legislation it matters but
little. All the diabolical ingenuity which
can be brought to bear to throttle the
bouth will prove as inoperative as the
I cuuuingly devised measures of tin* past, i
The strong probability is that the greater
! portion of the ensuing session will Iv
consumed in political discussions, and
ihe bulk of th.* legislation will be of a
private character.
THE DEM JCRATIC LEADER,
rncommon interest is taken in the
question as to who will be the Democratic
leader on i lie lloor of the House,
and in some quarters a disposition has
been exhibited to stir tip personal jealousies
and rivalries. Nothing is likely
to come out of this. It is thought by
the oldest and the most experienced of
the Democrats tha-. till such questions
as this will naturally adjust themselves
according to precedent and circumstances.
Mr. Carlisle after six veers in
tin? Sneaker's chair, will come down, on
the floor. He will undoubtedly be assigned
a prominent position on the minority
representation of the eommitfee
on ways and means. By common consent
Mr. Carlisle will be regarded as the
Democratic leader on all matters connected
with the tariff or other legislation.
The proposed change of rules and
the disposition of contested election
cases are not of a legislative eharaetei.
It is here where Mr. Randall's remarkable
qualities can cotne into play, and in
these matters, in all likelihood, he will
l>e called to the front. He is much belter
suited to take command in parliamentary
battles of this kind than Mr.
Carlisle or my other man on the Democratic
side.
A STUBBORN FIGHT EXPECTED.
Mr. Randall's decided views in reference
to change of the rules is that the
Democratic minority in the coming
House shall not surrender otic iota of
the parliamentary power to restrain the
majority, enjoyed to the fullest extent
for six years past by the Republican
minority, and which lite Republicans
thought perfectly proper until now. In
reference to contested election cases.
Mr. Randall is for opposing with might
and main the seating of any Republican
contestant whose right is not fairly demonstrated.
With him, on these two
points, to the bitter end, will be found
solid, compact and resolute, the Democratic
minority. ?Baltimore Sun.
Hints to Southern Towns.
In 1 lie groat advance the South is
making every town may share in proportion
to its advantages, be they few
or many. A town is a compact aggregation
of inhabitants, simply because the
surrounding country made such a nucleus
of population necessary. What is for
the good of the farmers around it is
good for iis citizens also. The relations
between the scattered landworkers
and the villages or
larger communities must necessarily
be those of mutual interest. The
town prospers if the agricultural country
around it does, not otherwise. There
must needs be interdependence, not independence.
The thing, therefore, for
the citizeas of every town to see to is
that all opportunities arc utilized to
add to its industries, in order that a
market may be made for whatever surplus
is raised upon the adjacent farms.
In other words, the more mouths
there arc to feed in any place
the better it will be for the farmers, aud
the more the latter get for their produets
the greater the trading done by
them in the town. The one thing needful
for any village, town or city is concert
of action. The old fable of the
bunch of sticks that could be broken
singly, but, that kept together, could
uot be fractured, has its counterpart in
this. Harmonious action for the public
good will accomplish wonders. Conflicting
opwiioiw tlmt pre-voiik unitod?
will injure all concerned. But the selfishness
that looks so closely after its
own as to render it indifferent to the
public interests will defeat itself. What
many Southern communities need is to
abandon provincialism and to become as
broad and liberal as the present age re

Another Family Scandal.
A San Francisco dispatch states that a
family scandal was exposed there Monday
last in Judge Hoge's court, when
United States Senator Stewart of Nevada
was cited to show why he should
not be punished for contempt for failing
to allow his son-in-law, A. W. Fox, to
see his three children. Fox and his wife
have been divorced several years and
the children have been cared for by the
Stewarts. Fox filed a sensational affidavit
in which he makes various charges
against Mr. and Mrs. Stewart. Mrs.
Stewart testified that Fox was a worthless
character with whom her daughter
fell in love when she was only seventeen.
To prevent the scandal of an
elopement her parents consented to the
marriage. The Senator repeatedly secured
good employment for Fox, but he
never kept any. No effort has been
made to keep the children from Fox, but
he failed to supply money for their support.
In the Toils of an Adventuress.
The New York Sun yesterday, in an
(Ill H. II" l>Tt Ul?? UJ^ ll?UI VUIUUIII.'?,
an account of the operations of an alleged
adventuress, whose real name is
Caroline F. Wells, but who has gone
undet many aliases. According to the
Suu, the adventuress, who has other
wealthy New York victims, had estranged
a rich contractor from his wife and
family; she had secured from him property
amounting to almost $1,000,000; a
secret divorce and marriage hail been
considered; the real wife had "barely
escaped an assassin's bullet. Then the
wronged woman appeared on the scene
in vigorous defense of her rights. A
mass of startling cviiTonee came into
her possession, and man and adventuress
suddenly left town. Mrs. Wells
was once and probably is now the lawful
wife of Emmet Wells, a hop commission
broker in New York. Her principal
victim is George F. Woolston, a
contractor, known throughout the West
as a builder of railroads and waterworks.

A PATHETIC SUICIDE.
Mrs. Kay Drowns Herself at Belton?The
Deed Deliberately Planned.
Belton, S. G\, October 18.?Our town
was much excited this morning over the
mysterious disappearance ot Mrs. Hattie
Kav. The fact was not known till after
daylight, when a general search was decided
upon. It is thought she left her
residence about 3 o'clock, and during
the still hours of early morning secretly
directed her steps 10 the spot, a half
mile distant, where, it seems, she had
previously planned to commit suicide.
Her friends were shocked by the first intelligeice.
but unwilling to believe anything
like the actual facts, were blindly
casting about for a proper place of
search, hoping against hope, when the
information was received that the body
had been discovered and recovered by
Sergeant M. E. GrCcr and Cadet T. R.
Allgood, who had made a voluntary
search at G. W. MeGee's fish pond. Almost
simultaneously with the news of
her discovery was the finding of a note,
written on the 15th instant, which
clearly shows that Mrs. Kay had maturely
considered the matter. The note
was as follows:
"October loth, 1839.
Dear Children: 1 am gone. 1 have
more on my mind than 1 can stand.
Oh ! what will become of you all ? God
bless you, my precious, darling children.
Letnmie, you go to Uncle Reed and
make a man of yourself. Bessie, I don't
know what you will do unless you go to
Louis. And poor little Minnie, what
will she do? God bless her. 1 want
some one to take her t hat will take care
of her and treat her right." |Nol
signed. J
Mrs. Kay was an estimable lady and
leaves many friends to mourn her untimely
death. The cause of this desperate
step is thought to be an overtaxed
brain in the struggle to support her
family and educate the three childrn
mentioned in her note. She has several
other children. All are married. Some
are residents in Birmingham, Ala.,
others in Texas. Reed and Louis, men
tioned in the above note, arc her brothers,
Messrs. Louis and Reed Campbell.
Several years ago she was a citizen of
Greenville.
KING SOLOMON DBAD.
The Georgia Negro Messiah of Last Summer
Dies Under Suspicious Circumstances.
Savannah, October 19.?Liberty
County has a great sensation. King
Solomon's death is believed to have
been a murder, and A. B. Dean, deputy
Sheriff, is suspected. King Solomon
i.was the old crazy negro, Shadraeh
Walt bam, who succeeded one of tbo
Messiahs in the religious craze in Liberty
last summer. All of the other
worshipers in the wilderness who were
arrested gave bond and were released
from jail. King Solomon could not get
bail. Last Sunday he was found dead
in the jail at Hinesvillc The next day
an inquest was held. The jury sat out
in the jail yard. No evideuce of importance
was given at first. Two or
three witnesses testified that the King
was found dead. About the time the
jury was preparing to make up a verdict,
a negro prisoner looked out of a
jail window, and, speaking loudly, said:
"I know who killed the King. It was
Mr. Dean. He struck Solomon with
brass knucks on the head."
Tne jury7 laughed, thinking the negro
was lying." But some one suggested
that they should look at the dead man's
haad. When it was examined a fracture?was-dlscovwred.
Wattham had
been hit back of his left car. Two
prisoners, one a murderer and the other
a burglar, were then brought out ar.d
examined. They swore that Dean struck
the old negro because the King was
reading his Bible too loud. That was
hardly believed by the jurors, who regarded
it as too improbable. A search
was mad?pfor Dean, but he had disap
peareci. nis son-in-iaw aaraineu tuiu
the deputy sheriff slapped the old man
on the head with his hand and with the
Bible, but denied that the brass knuckles
were used.
The grand jury will investigate the
ease.
MIXBD-UP MARRIAGES.
How Miller's Four Girl Children Are
Tangled Up.
Henry Miller, a shoemaker who died
recently in this city, had a remavknblo
matrimonial career. His first wife died
in giving birth to a girl baby. He
afterwards married his^ wife's sister, who
also died in the course* of a year, just
after having born to her a girl baby.
Miller was an industrious fellow, and
his father-in-law, a close-fisted dairyman,
brought about a marriage between
Miller and a third daughter. In three
years a girl baby was born and the third
wife and sister died. The lather-in-law
had died a year before, and the mother,
who was a treble mother-in-law to
Miller, and he mourned the loss of their
dead together. A mutual liking struck
up, the result being that mother-in-law
and son-in-law Miller became husband
and wife
Their marriage was a happy one for
almost three years Then Mrs. Miller
No. 4 gave b'rtli to a girl baby, dying
within loss than ten days. After the
little one was born Miller lived but two
months. His four daughters, born under
such peculiar circumstances, are still

fourth, the daughter of the mother-inlaw,
is not only a cousin and stepsister,
but likewise an aunt, while the grandmother

The South's Manifest Destiny.
The whole world seems to be making
a great advance movement in every line
of industry. No one can study the
signs of the times without being impressed
with this fact, and without realizing
that we are entering upon 11
peliod which gives promise of greatei
and more widereachitig movements it
the world's commercial and manufacturing
interesta than has ever been seen
before. It is not in this country alone
that there is almost unprecedented activity
in business interests. The work
shops of Europe are crowded, and many
of the long-idle plants of Great Britain
are running night and day to meet the
demand for iron and steel. And wherever
we look there are indications ol
development and advancement and ol
gigantic enterprises that arc destined tc
change many of the currents of the
world's commerce. In this country we
sec almost every furnace that can evei
blow in, actively at work, while rolling
mills, steel rail mills and kindred enterprises
i re all equally as busy, and
yet the consumptive demands are grad
ually gaining on production and causing
a decrease in stocks on hand. Grcal
enterprises, from the building of the
Nicarauguau canal; the construction ol
t*inh minAPul QAnHnne
tlie development of which means alrnosi
as great a revolution in steel making as
the development of Alabama's iron in
tercets made in iron production ; tht
building of new ports on the Gulf thai
will turn the traffic of the rich and
populous West from its present chun
nels, and pour a vast business, scared}
dreamed of now, through these new
Southern ports; the great activity ir
iron and steel ship-building, fully taxing
to its utmost every ship-yard in tin
country; the certainty of closer com
mcrcial relations?and consequently i
larger share of their trade?with the
rich countries of Central and Soutl
America, are some of the movement:
that are now making themselves felt ir
all the varied ramifications of the bnsi
ness interests of this country.
Just at this period, which is to marl
a distinctive era in the history of th(
human race?an era of advaneemeni
and progress for the peoples of all na
tions- the South is the centre of attrac
lion. It has demonstrated that it has
tjie advantages needed to make it tht
centre of iron and steel production ol
the whole world, and '-that nation oi
that section of any nation which pos
susses supremacy in the production ol
iron and steel and i:i their conversion
to final forms for use will dominate anc
control the commerce of the world;" il
produces three-fourths of the cotton ol
the world, and it is inevitable that the
South, which grows the cotton, is des
tincd to spin and weave it; it has the
most abundant supply and the greatesl
variety of timber to be found in the
United States anel mu>t. become the
centre of wood-working interests; it hae
the advantage of the best climate or
this continent, and of agricultural ad
vantages, which, taken as a whole, are
not equalled in productive possibilities
under wise agricultural methods by anj
similar area elsewhere; it has a lon^
stretch of seacoast and many rivers,
enabling its products to reach the corn
suming markets of the world at the
minimum of cost. To the fullest utilization
of these advantages the South is
now bending every energy, and it enter;
upon this work at a time when the conditions
of the world's business interests
are most favorable for making the
South the controlling factor in the great
advance movement. No man can picture
the commanding influence of the South
in the world's industrial and commercial
interests ten years hence.?Haitimore

A Strategic Criminal Lawyer.
Lawyer Forest, the leader of the coun
sol for the defense in the Cronin trial,
is, doubtless, the most strategic criminal
lawyer in Chicago. At one time he was
retained to defend a prisoner charged
with highway robbery. The case was
in a police justice court. The defense
was an alibi, and nins witnesses, one by
one, stepped up and swore that (lie accused,
at the time the alleged robbery
took place, was basking amid the refined
delights of a dog fight, three miles away
from the scene of the robbery. The
prisoner was discharged, but one by one
as these witnesses stepped down from
the stand they were "pinched" by a
stern-faced minion of Chicago law and
booked for the crime of participating in
a dog fight. This result had quite evidently
been foreseen by Mr. Forest, and
he appeared even hilarious at the turn
of affairs. He demanded a change of
venue and an immediate trial. The nine
were arraigned, pleaded not guilty, and
in all the wide wastes of Chicago not a
witness was to be found against them.

To the honest inquirer after truth, who,
troubled with some contagious blood disease,
seeks a remedy which will completely
eradicate from his system every
, germ of blood poison, that the ones he
loves?his wife and his children?may be
saved, the experience of others comes as
a mighty revelation. Common sense tells
him actual results are the only sure proof
of curative virtue. Read the following
true testimony:
Twelve years ago I contracted a terrible
ci ^ of blood poisoning. My affliction
wiv.. truly horrible. I had no appetite,
did not sleep well at night, my digestion
was impaired, my throat was full of
ulcers, and in fact I was a total wreck.
I had been under the treatment of several
i of the leading physicians of Atlanta;
tried nearly every blood remedy advertised;
went to Hot Springs, where I re
maincu several monms, receiving nu uen,
efit whatever?the dread disease still clung
to me.
Three years ago I was laid up with
rheumatism. My knees were drawn up
in such a position that I could not leave
my bed for months.
Last summer the disease seemed to renew
its attack upon me with all the rav'
ages of death. My life was a lingering
! torture, and I had despaired of ever getting
will when a friend of mine recommended
B. B. B. I began to use it at
once, and find myself permanently cured.
I refer to Rev. C. C. Davis, Dr. John G.
Westmorland, Dr. Knott, Garrett & Bro.,
and numerous others who know of my
; case. I cheerfully recommend B. B. B.,
f :r J really believe it is the best medicine
i for the blood in the world.
J as. L. Bosvorth, Atlanta, Ga.
During the month of February I bought
. one bottle of B. B. B for my four-year old
boy, who had what doctors term hereditary
blood poison, and to my utter astonishment
one bottle cured him. In Feb1
ruary my elder son, twelve years of age,
! was literally covered with ugly sores on
his legs, and a terrible eruption on his
head. He was cured with two bottles of
r B. B.B. As a quick blood cleanser it has
i no equal. James Hill, Atlanta, Ga.
For several years I have been suffering
from a constitutional blood poison, which
i has resisted the treatment of our best
) physicians, and the use of the most noted
, medicines.

i I had 24 running ulcers on one leg, and
) 6 on the other, ana felt greatly prostrated.
\ I believe I actually swallowed a barrei of
. medicine in vain efforts to cure the disj
ease. With little hope, I finally acted on
the urgent advice of a friend, and got a
bottle of B. B. B. I experienced A change
and my despondency was somewhat dis:
pelled. I kept using it until I had taken
; sixteen bottles, and all the ulcers, rheumat
tism, and other horrors of bipod poison
have disappeared, and at last I am sound
and well again, after an experience of
5 twenty years of torture.

B. B. B. Combanv?My Dear Sir:
f I take great pleasure in acknowledging
. tlic great benefit my wife has uerived lrom
, yonr. gTeat and wonderful medicine, B. P
13. tor two years she was a great sufp
ferer from Scrofula, or some blocd dis
' ease which had lain dormant all her life.
1 We had attention from some of the most
skillful physicians in the country, but ali
i to no effect, until we had all despaired ol
t her ever recovering. Her mouth was one
? solid ulcer, and for tr "> months or more
> her body was broken out with sores until
5 she lost a beautiful head of hair, also eye,
lashes and eye-brows; in fact, she seemed
to be a complete wreck.
Now comes the great secret which I
' want all the world to know: That three
) bottles of Biood Balm medicine has done
the work which would sound incredible to
' any one who did not know it to be so.
i To-day my wife is perfectly healthy and
clear from any scrofulous taint, ana she
; now has a three-month-old babe, also perfectly
healthy. Very respectfully
i H. L. Cassidy.

This is to certify that thrae years ago I
had my left leg amputated four inches
below the knee, caused by blood poison
1 and bone affection. After it was amputated
there came a running ulcer on the
end of it that measured VA inches one
wav and AV-, inches the other, and ccm
tinued growing worse every day until a
short time ago. I was given up to die b}
the best doctors in Charlotte. I heard oi
the wonderful B. B. B. I resolved to try
that. My weight at the time I commenced
B. B. B. was 120 pounds- When
I had taken three bottles I gained 87
; pounds in weight; when I had taken
, twelve bottles f was sound and well, but
. continued taking until I had taken fifteen
bottles. I now weigh 180 pounds and
measure five feet ana three inches high
I contend that your medicine has noeoua'.
as a blood purifier. It certainly worker
like a charm. (12) ]. R. Wilson.

[ MR. THURMAN'S INFIRMITY. ' I
The Old Roman Breaks Down While
Making a Campaign Speech.
Cincinnati, October 25.?Hon. Allen
G. Tburman did not complete his speech
at Music Hall last night, but was compelled,
on account of failure of strength,
10 stop suddenly. Putting his hands to
his sides, he said: "1 would like to have
stated more to you, but I am unable to
do it; I am getting sick." His last words
were not distinctly heard, and as his
son assisted him to a chair there were
few in the ball who knew that he had
brokeu down. As soon as he was able
to go, he was taken to his hotel, where
he could have rest. He regretted this
infirmity very greatly, because, as he
stated afterward, he had reserved for
the closing part of his speech some good
words for the Democratic candidate for
Governor. These be was prevented
from utturing by the sudden weakness 1
that came upon him.
SECOND ADVENTISTS.
Still Patiently Awaiting1 the End of the
World.
Fredericksburg, Va., October 24.?
Elder Brown, the leader of the Adventists,
who are patiently waiting the coming
of the King of Kings and the end of
the world, says that October, 1889, is
the month aud year, but be is not so
positive about the date. He says the
camp meeting will continue for another
week. About forty persons aro living
on the grounds in tents, having left
their farms and stock to take care of
themselves. An unbelieving farmer
came into the grounds to get some one
to sow wheat for him. The first person
ho accosted was a camp attendant, who
gave tho farmer a stoDy smre and remarked
that ho had no time to sow
wheal, he "had to go out to meet the
Lord." The farmer was snubbed in
other quarters, and went away disgusted,
but unconverted.
A Successful Man of Susinsss.
Mr. Ferdinand Phinizy, whose death'
at his homo in Athens, Ga., has been
announced, had a remarkably successful
business career. He commenced as a
station agent on the Georgia Railroad,
and he ran an eating house in connection
with it. He saved money and in a
few years embarked in the cotton business
in Augusta, where he amassed a
large fortune. It was said of Mr.
Phinizy that everything he touched
turned to money and he never made a
failure of auything he undertook.
Though deprecating any ostentatious
show of wealth aud extravagant living,
he was never niggardly or miserly. At
his homo he had every comfort and was
a princely host. Mr. Phinizy did not
hold his fortune to await his death
before dividing it among his children.
He gave to each one liberally as be came
of age and advised with him about his
business and how best to succeed. Starting
each one off with a snug sum be
idded to it from year to year, as the
demands of business required, and had
tlin Ortni r> liic oa? a oil ni?AJ.
IUU ^luaauic UL UIO DUUO evil Yjl wo '
porous and successful business men. It
is probable ilia' he distributed in this
way half a million of dollars amoug bis
children. Despite this, Mr. Phinizy
was one of the wealthiest men in Georgia
and his fortune is estimated at considerably
over a million dollars, his
Georgia Railroad stock being worth over
$400,000.

u AGE CANNOT WITHER HER,"
remarked an old gentleman, as he gazed
fondly upon the comely little woman by hia
Bide; "but frankly," he continued, "at one
time I was afraid cosmetics would. The silly
llttlo woman, in order to appear youthful,
plastered her face with different varieties of
whitewash, yclept 'balms,' 'creams.' 'lotions,'
etc." " Yes," interrupted the little woman,
" I did, until my skin became like parchment
and so pimply and coarse." "Well," said the
listener, "what do you use now?5' "Use,"
was the reply, "nothing but common sense
and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Common sense told me that it my blood was
pure, liver active, appetite and digestion good,
that the outward woman would take on the
hue of health. The Discovery did all those
things and actually rejuvenated rae." If you
would possess a clear, beautiful complexion,
free from blotches, pimples, eruptions, yellow
spots and roughness, use the "Golden Medical
Discovery." It Is guaranteed to do
