UNION MAN'S BODY /FOUND. Pettus Lancaster Disappeared Two Weeks Ago. Union, August 5.?The dead body of Pettus Lancaster, the young man who disappeared in the West Springs neighborhood two weeks ago last Tuesday, was discovered this morning about 9 o'clock in an abandoned gold mine shaft in the West Springs neighborhood. The shaft is 35 feet deep. The water was pumped out of this shaft and it was examined thoroughly by the searching party more than two weeks ago. It is now believed by many that the body was placed in this shaft after foul pfay. Young Lancaster disappeared on the afternoon or night of the violent storm which ushered in the recent flood. He was journeying on foot from Glenn Springs and returning to his father's home when last seen and it was supposed that in the storm he lost his way and fell into one of these mines, there being a number of them, in this section of the country. His hat was found near the bank of the creek which was swollen far beyond its bounds. Sheriff Fant andi the coroner are on their way now to West Springs to make a thorough investigation. The funeral and burial will be held at Sulphur Sr rings Baptist church late this afternoon. The Kaiser's Father. Whenever any indisposition of the kaiser is announced the recollection of the malady of his father is naturally recalled. It was in May, 1887, that the three German physicians, Gerhardt, Bergmann and Tobold, declared that the Crown Prince Frederick had cancer of the larynx. Dr. Morell Mackenzie, the celebrated i English laryngologist, denied the presence of a cancer, and proposed to ' charge himself with the treatment of the prince. The Crown Princess Vic tor, daughter of Queen Victoria, de cided that her husband should folio? . the advice of her countryman. The princess and her husband established themselves for a time at San Remo. It soon appeared that ' the German doctors were right in their diagnosis. The cancer could no longer be denied. Prince Fred. erick refused to allow himself to be operated upon. In the meantime the . old Emperor William died and the prince returned to Berlin, where he [ became Frederic III. ; On the 5th of June, a year after the . first serious attack of the disease, Emperor Frederic succumbed. Dr. "* r ? -1? J- AT JaaIO./MI f V>ot ho had .UciCKeiizit; iiitiLi ucuaicu tnut u?u 1 dissimulated as to tne cencerous nature of the disease "through motives ' of humanity," and wrote a pamphlet justifying his course. Frederic, in , 1887, at the time of his death, was , 57 years old. The kaiser William II ; attained that age on the 27th of last January.?Indianapolis News. - CANDIDATES' CARDS ^ The rates for cards inserted under this head are as follows: For magis- j trate, coroner, cotton weigher and; county commissioner, $3.00; for all! other county offices, $5.00; for con-1 [ gress and all State offices, $10.00. !

Atlanta, August 3.?Thomas B Felder, prominent member of the Atlanta bar, and well known for the part he took in the South Carolina dispensary cases several years ago was stabbed and seriously injured here tonight. G. K. Vasson, of Easl Point, Ga., doorkeeper of the lower house of the Georgia general assembly, was arrested, charged with the stabbing, which took place in the lobby of the Kimball house in the presence of scores of legislators. II was said by legislators that the affair grew out of Felder's recent efforts before a committee of the house to defeat a bill by which the city ol Savannah charter would be amended to permit vote on recall of city officials. Felder, representing certain prohibition elements, claimed the recall of Mayor Pierpont, of Savannah, was sought by those favoring the bill The attorney and house committeemen recently exchanged hot words over the bill, which was tabled today, but Vasson declined to explain his interest in the affair, merely is= suing a statement saying he was not the agressor in the altercation which preceded the stabbing. Witnesses said, according to the police, that reider and Vasson exchanged words over the tabling of the bill. Felder was stabbed in the abdomen. At a local hospital it was said the wound was not necessarily fatal. CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGNS. A Trade Paper's Advice to Cities o1 the South. The city administration of Baltimore has started out to "make Baltimore the cleanest and most healthful city in the United States." A specia committee on plan and management which includes in its membership the mayor, the health commissioner and the commissioner of street cleaning has compiled a pamphlet of suggestions to citizens, householders, factory owners and others, the list comprising a number of fundamental requirements for effecting sanitary conditions in the home, the premises 4-V.^. nl.nnf ftnd fViQ nrftrlreVlrtTl T'n DC? IUC oil CCL aiiu IUC n vinouuy. jl uwuv pamphlets are for gratuitous and widespread distribution and are intended to secure the citizens' cooperation with the health authorities ir their efforts to eliminate unsanitarj conditions. -- This is a work that other cities and even villages, everywhere, and particularly throughout the South should vigorously undertake. While the South has been the leader ir many sanitary movements?Asheville, N. C., originated the anti-fl*} orusade, for instance; Southern physicians cleared this country and substantially the entire world of the yellow fever scourge, and New Orleans and the State of Louisiana have ? stricter observance of sanitary laws than almost any other community ii this c intry?yet the longer summei season of the South subjects the section to greater danger from unsanitary conditions than is encountered further norxh. Disease finds a prolific breeding place in dirt, in filth and in fqul air Sunshine, pure air and diligent scrub bing of everything on which dirt has Sound lodgment are the prime min< isters of health. Cleanliness, univer sal, omnipresent and eternal?clean< liness of person, of clothing, of bed ding, and of every nook and crannj of the home place, front and back upstairs and downstairs, and into the cellar, and everywhere around aboui the yard?will do more to ward of disease and keep the family in healtl than all the remedies in the pharma copeia. But all home cleanliness wil be minimized in. its value if officials permit dirty, unpaved streets anc other unsanitary conditions to pre vail. It is to be hoped that Baltimore will do a thorough job, and that the example may spread until all over the land cleanliness may indeed be en throned alongside of Godliness. v | It will then be a much pleasantei j world for those who survive, and th< number of survivors, especially among the infant class?the helpless ! and preponderating victims of the un sanitary state?will be immeasurably increased.?Manufacturers' Record. Pea Soup. A congressmr received almos daily letters from a constituent ask ing for garden seed, with emphasi* on peas. The demand for peas go so heavy that the congressman wai mnvp.fi tn writp this letter: "I am sending you half a dozei more packages of peas as requested Say, what are you trying to do dowi ! there, plant the whole State ii peas?" The re?ly came a few days later It read: "No; I'm not planting them, bu they make bully soup. Send aloni some more." with same. All cards will be pubj lished until the primaries. CONGRESS.
