books will closo tor the year. !
It Is stated for tho benefit of all that i
those who neglect, or overlook tho matter, !
will be debarred from participation In

members last night, and all those on hand
showed tho deepest Interest In the sub?
ject.
The resignation of Mr. Joseph C. Tay?
lor was taken from the table, and, on
behalf of himself and his colleagues from
Madison Ward, Mr. S. C. Shield present?
ed the name of Air. P. Kemper Rector
for the vacancy. Mr. Rector was elected
without opposition, and was escorted byi
a committee to his seat.
Tho new member Is a popular young
Democrat, nnd is-cashier for tho Trav?
elers' Insurance Company's agency in this

FULTON NEWS.
Snatch thieve and petty robbers have
begun a crusade In Fulton, which so far
has been very good from their point of
view. One of tho boldest attempts was
made Saturday afternoon about 7 o'clock
near tho engine house, at a time when
a number of people wero passing. Miss
Alice Ayers, a well known young lady,
was hurrying home from shopping und
wns in a few feet of her gate, when her
pocket-book was snatched by a young
negro hoy. The purso contained about
11. and was attached to her wrist by a
wmall chain. Miss Ayers screamed, but
tho negro made his escape in tho dark?
ness up a side street.
The screams of Miss Ayers attracted
a policeman, who was searching for a
small negro boy who had grabbed a
pocket-book from Annie, the ten-year-old
daughter of Mr. W. B. Christian, near
the samo corner about an hour before.
Tho negro boy became frightened when a
citizen made a dash for him and dropped
his booty, but fled himself. A number of
small cases of petty robbery have been
reported during the past week, but the
booty has been very small.
The members of Henrico Council, Roy?
al Arcanum, will visit Union Council,
Church Hill, to-night. A largo attend?
ance Is expected, and a pleasant evening
Is assured.
Rheumatism
A 1^? ? Jj ?THE} 3PA.XISP XCIIVO."
Those who have ever felt its keen, cutting pains, or witnessed the intense
fiufferiug of others, know that Rheumatism is torture, and that it is right?
ly called " The King of Pain."
All do notsuffer alike. Some are suddenly seized with the most excrucia?
ting pains, and it seems every muscle aud joint in the body was being torn
asuuder. Others feel only occasional slight pains for weeks or mouths, when
a sudden change in the weather or exposure to damp, chilly winds or night
air brings on a fierce attack, lasting lor da3'S perhaps, and leaving the pa?
tient with a weakened constitution or crippled and deformed for all time.
An acid, polluted condition of the blood is the cause of every form and
variety of Rheumatism, Muscular, Articular, Acute, Chronic, Inflammatory
and Sciatic, and the blood must be purged and purified before there is an
end to your aches and pains. External applications, theuse of liniments and
plasters, do much toward temporary relief, but such treatmentdoes not reach
the real cause or cleanse the diseased blood ; but S. S. S., the greatest of all
blood purifiers and tonics,does cure Rheumatism by antidotingand neutraliz?
ing the poisonous acids and building up the weak and sluggish blood. It is
safe and reliable in all forms of Rheumatism. Itinakes
the old acid blood rich, and the pain-tortured mus?
cles and jpintsare relieved, the shattered nerves are
made strong, and the entiresystem is invigorated aud
toned up by theuse of this great vegetable remedy.
If you have Rheumatism, write us, aud our physicians will furnish with?
out charge any information desired, and we will mail free our book on
Rheumatism. JH? SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTM, CA.

MAKE OFFICE
FOR A NEGRO

Congressman From the Fifth
Alabama District Points Out
Injustice, But in Vain.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. SD.-The
most signal Illustration of tho af?
fection of this administration for tho
nogro that tho American people have
yet seen Is nbout to be glvon. This time
It Is tho Fourth Assistant Postmastor
Goneral who Is to follow most closely
tho lead of Mr. Roosevelt In display of
love for tho black brother. John Wash?
ington, Booker's brother, Is to have an
ofllco made for him while ho waits, nnd
he won't have to wait long, He Is to
be made the postmaster at an ofllco
which Is to be csUiblishod at Booker's
school at Tuskegee.
Protest Without Avail.
Representative Thompson, of the Fifth
Alabama District, said to bo known at
the White House as tho Booker Washing?
ton district, went to set Fourth Assis?
tant Postmaster-General Brlstow to-day
and protested against tho creation of
tho new ofllce. He called tho attention
of General Brlstow to tho fact that tho
school is less than a mlie from the
present postofflc-c. and reminded him that
It Is the annouticed policy of tho Depart?
ment not to establish any offices within
less than a mllo of each other. He also
callod his attention to the fact that
thero Is a school tor young ladies In tho
town not further away from tho office
than tho n'egro school, and that It Is of
as much Importance oh the negro Insti?
tution. Ho further objocted to the es?
tablishment of the new olllco because It
would reduce the salary of tho present
white postmaster, and would also causo
detriment to the patrons of the ofllce,
because It would result In tho cutting
down of the allowance for tho mainte?
nance of the office. Ho sought to Impress
General Brlstow with the fact that tho
great majority of the patrons of the
offico ar.a white, and-tliat they would suf?
fer If the ofllce were established/ at the
negro school.
General Brlstow did not hear Mr.
Thompson with any very great degre.3
of patience, apparently, and when tho
representative had concluded, the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster-General Informed
him that the matter was one which wns
entirely within the discretion of the De?
partment. Sir. 'Thompson came- away
convinced that the-ofllco would bo es?
tablished.
Probe to,the Bottom.
The resolution; Introduced by Senator
Carmack to-day',, presiding for tho- com?
plete-Investigation^ of 'tho.'.nffairs of tho

which tho- Democrats' have-, made look?
ing to tho probing of tho scandals In that
Department, which havo for nearly a
year, been a stench in the ..nostrils of
th'.a public. Tho resolution, under the
rules, went over until to-morrow. Sena?
tor Carmack Is in deadly earnest, and It
Is the belief that he will push tho reso?
lution through. The Republicans cannot
afford to refuse to allow an Investiga?
tion. '
Administration Ridiculed.
? The administration Is ridiculed on all
sides for calling an extraordinary ses?
sion which has declined to do what It
ask>3d or even vote upon the proposition
for which alone it was called. Tho cost
of this extri pension In mllencm alnne
?Sr the two houses is $195,000. With tbl*
sum Is $T,9.50O for stationery allowances
to Senators and Representatives. These
two items, with the enormous amount
of printing which has had to bo done,
lias run the cost of the useless extra ses?
sion to not less than ?300;0OO.
