BLOODSHED IS LOOKED FOR.
An Editor and Postmaster Have a Bough
and Tumble Fight.
Atlanta, Oa., Nov. 20.—A special to the
Constitution from Rome, Ga., says that
Postmaster M. M. Fepper and W. A.
Knowles, editor of the Rome Tribune,
had a serious fight there tonight. One
thing which gives it some significance is
the fact that it grows out of a corre
spondence which at one time promised to
develop a duel between Knowles and Edi
tor Byrd of liis contemporary. The
Hustler attacked the Tribune and Know
les replied over his signature in a sting
ing card. Byrd sent a letter by his friend
Underwood to Knowles, asking him to go
outside the state and renew the corre
spondence. Knowles would not receive
the letter. Then Underwood sent Knowles
a letter and the editor would not receive
that. This letter was carried by Post
master Pepper. The latter says that he
did not know what it contained. Today
Pepper and Knowles met and discussed
the affair. Finally Popper called
Knowles a liar and was knocked down.
A rattling fight followed with Knowles
on top tlie postmaster. Representative
Maddox of the Seventh Congressional
district and other friends of the two men
attempted to break them apart, but Vin
cent Sanford, a friend of Knowles, stood
by and swore that it was a fair fight and
that it should go on to a finish. The two
men were eventually separated and ear
rled off to hed. Their friends expect an
other engagement the first time they
meet. Two other fights resulted from
this encounter between champions of
the tespeetive sides and some shooting is
promised.

CAMP HARDEE CONCERT
Next Monday Night To Be One of the Most
Notable Musical Events in the
History of the City.
The entire membership of the Bir
mingham Musical union, which is made

and professional musicians of the city,
have united and are having nightly re
hearsals preparatory to the giving of a
grand concert for the benelit of Camp
Hardee, United Confederate Veterans, at

by the entire membership of the union.
Mrs. Brazeal will sing a solo, “The
Jacket of Gray.”
Miss Nora Sullivan will execute a fan

Pretty little Miss Nellie Rapp will

And the Schillinger quartette will also
be on hand with some of their finest se

Little Miss Lorena Dozier will give a
recitation.

success (bat the concert is assured to be.
The committee of arrangements have
already fixed the price of admission at
f>l) cents for adults and half price for

old veterans.

The Specialist who treats thousands of patients has more experience than the
physician who occasionally practices on one.
The indisputable fact that Dr. Holloway is the only physician in the South con
trolling sufficient practice in private troubles, such as Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Gleet.
Stricture, Bad Blood, Skin and Bladder Diseases, Ulcers, Womb Troubles, etc., to
devote his whole time to their cure is sufficient evidence of his great experience
and successful treatment.
Special attention is given to the treatment of unfortunates suffering from
early imprudence, errors of youth, loss of vitality, loss of manhood, sexual de
bility, or any of its maddening effects.
GET WELL and enjoy life as you should. Many men and youths are today
occupying subordinate positions in life who, if they were able to exercise their
brain power to Its full and natural capacity, would instead be leaders.

My book on private diseases and proper question lists will be sent to anyone on

THE BEST OF ALL
In All Things All The Time
THERE are many GOOD life insurance companies, but among
them all there must be one BEST. THE BEST is THE
EQUITABLE. If you wish to know why, send for: i, the
report of the Superintendent of Insurance for the State of New
York on the examination of The Equitable; 2, for actual results
of maturing policies; 3, for statement of death claims paid in
1894. Then you will know the three great reasons of The
Equitable’s supremacy: First, its financial stability; second,
its great profits and advantages to living policy-holders; third,
the promptness of its payments and liberality of its settlements.
