Gladness Comes
AA/ith a better understanding of the
” V transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
( Bickuess are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly bv all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase. that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Cos. ouly and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system "is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

SI.AIX HY AX ASSASSIX.
A Democratic Delegate Brutally
Murdered in Florida.
Brooksvllle, Fla., June 11.— John W.
Crum was shot and Instantly killed by
some unknown assassin last night about
10:30 o'clock. He was a delegate to the
democratic convention, which met to-day
and came to town last night to meet his
delegation, and on his return home, with
in the corporation limits, was killed. Two
gun shots were fired within about five
seconds of each other, but It seems that
but one load took effect, which broke the
left arm, and twelve buckshot entered the
side.
Crum was raised by Capt. William Hone
of this county. He leaves a wife and eight
helpless children.
The county convention to-day passed
resolutions of condolence for his family,
and asked the governor to offer a reward
and to assist in bringing the perpetrators
of this foul deed to Justice. There has
been no arrest made.
The coroner’s Jury hat not returned a
verd let
The friends of Mr. Crum suspect that
this is another result of the feud In
which persons of Hillsboro, Pasco and
Hernando counties are Implicated. All
the good people of the county express
their condemnation of such conduct in
their midst, and offer any assistance to
officers of ihe law. Owing to a heavy rain
from early morning, the sheriff has been
unable to get any satisfactory tracks, hut
will continue the search with a posse to
morrow.
HEDAVIXE’S BOX'D MADE GOOD.
The Fidelity and Casualty Company
Finally Pays the Hank.
Atlanta, Ga., June 11.—The Fidelity and
Casualty Company has paid the 310,000
bond given to the defunct Gate City Na
tional Bank for Lewis Redwine, the cash
ier whose sensational defalcation wreck
ed the bank.
When Redwine defaulted, and was sent
to the penitentiary, the hank made an ef
fort to collect the bond, hut the company,
alleging that sufficient caution had not
been exercised by the officials of the
bank, refused to pay the amount of the
bond. President Jllll, the president of the
Gate City Bank, brought suit against the
Fidelity company to recover the amount
of the bond, and the result was in favor
of tlie bank. A motion for anew trial
was made, and on account of technical
ities, was granted. This would have come
Up again in the near future, but the Fi
delity company and the hank agreed on a
settlement, the company giving its check
for the amount of the bond, 310,000, and
for ll.iWO extra, the interest that has ac
crued. This is about the last of the liti
gation following the defalcation of Lewis
Redwine.
SKIPPED BETWEEN SI’XS.
A Restaurant Keeper Leaves Many
Sorrowing Creditors.
Atlanta, Ga., June 11.—E. Weinberg,
manager of the Novelty restaurant on
Walton street, turned up missing this
morning, Weinberg came to Atlanta from
Birmingham a couple of months before
the exposition to undertake the manage
ment of the restaurant, which Is owned
by Cincinnati people.He Is believed to have
left the city last night, taking with him
his wife and two children and leaving be
hind a number of worthless checks and a
lot of clamoring creditors. His place of
residence was given in the city directory
as 125 Church street, but there Is no such
place. Creditors took out attachments and
a crowd of bailiffs beseiged the place to
day, To some of his creditors Weinberg
before disappearing gave checks on the
Lowry Banking Company, where he claim
ed to do business. A half dozen or more of
these cheeks were turned down by the
bank yesterday and to-day.
ATLANTA'S SEXTON RESIGNS.
The Council Lets Him Off on Itntlns
Good the Alleged Shortage.
Atlanta, Ga., June 11.—The city council
at a special session called to investigate
charges of irregularities and misappro
priation of funds against City Sexton T.
A. Clayton, this afternoon accepted the
resignation of that official upon the pay
ment by him of the amount of his short
age. Clayton had used the material of
the city and the city employes under him
to perform private contracts. The loss
to the city on this score was estimated at
$2,000. and the sexton was allowed to set
tle on that basis. His successor will be
elected by the council next week. The
office is a fat one In perquisites. Clayton
had many friends in the city and his
shortcoming was a general surprise to the
public.
EXAMINATION OF TEACHERS.
The Date Changed to the Last Satur
day in July,
Atlanta, Ga., June 11.—The general ex
amination of teachers for places in the
public schools of the state will take place
on the last Saturday in July Instead of
on the last Saturday in June, as hereto
fore announced. An order changing the
date was issued to-day by State School
Commissioner Glenn, as the iirst date se
lected. It was thought, would seriously
interfere with a number of teachers who
desired to attend the teachers’ institutes.

Jacksonville, Fla., June 11.—At Dames
Point yesterday J. Grose, one of the crew

VALDOSTA NEWS.
Melon Crop Sliort—Divorced After
Forty Year* Together.
Valdosta, Ga., June 11.—The outlook now
Is that the watermelon crop Is going to
he much shorter than was expected a
month ago. It Is said by growers that the
long drought has cut down the yield SO
per cent., which will amount to many
cars even In this county. Shipments
have begun In earnest from all points In
the melon belt, and this morning one
train carried twenty-four cars through
this city. The local market has had only
a few melons of Inferior size, but they
have brought „.,oi prices. The Indica
tions are that those who have planted
this year will get much better prices
than for several seasons, unless the for
eign markets are glutted by shipments
from other sections of the country.
Among the interesting cases In court
here recently was the divorce suit of
Mr. and Mrs. Wash Bostick, who live in.
the northern part of the county. The
couple have been married for over forty
years, and it is said have several grown
children. During recent years they have
had some family quarrels, and two years
ago Mrs. Bostick started proceedings
against her husband for a divorce. He
made counter charges, and at the last
term of the court each was granted a to
tal divorce. The age of the couple and
the long time in which they lived together
makes the case a very unusual one.
The date for the mid-summer carnival
has been changed from the 2nd, 3rd and
4th of July to the 16th, 17th and 18th. The
change was made because other towns
expected to have some kind of celebra
tion on the 4th, and Valdosta was prepar
ing a programme at which she wanted
all of her neighbors and friends to be
present. It Is expected that the railroads
will give a very low rate for the ocaslon.
The programme will be exceedingly at
tractive, and those who come to the city
will be made to enjoy their visit.
The Peabody Institute for colored teach
ers Is In session here and a large number
of colored teachers are In attendance.
Tho ministers are giving them consider
able assistance In their work. Mayor
Cranford made them a speech yesterday,
which was enthusiastically received. The
Institute will continue a month.
Reports from Madison County, Florida,
say that crops are better there than was
ever known before. The seasons have
been good and farmers have nothing to
complain of. In this county corn is splen
did and cotton Is also good, though It is
feared that the rain will-damage it some.
In some parts of the county lice have
appeared on the long cotton for the flr.it
time in the history of sea island cotton
planting here. Some uneasiness is felt by
farmers on this account.
TOWNS ILLEGALLY CHARTERED.
The Supreme Court Renders a Far-
Reaching Decision.
Atlanta, Ga., June 11.—The supreme
court has rendered a decision which will
upset the corporate authority of a great
many small towns In the state.
The. decision was In the case of the town
of Plnehurst in Dooly county, which was
chartered by the legislature in 1895.
A part of the population of the place ob
jected and went into the courts to prevent
tho incorporation. Judge Fisher of the
superior court upheld the charter and an
appeal was taken to the supreme court,
which now decides that the town was
not legally chartered, and that other
towns in the state operating under simi
lar acts of Incorporation are also without
legal charters.
The code of ISS7 provides that towns of
less than 2.<XH> inhabitants may be incor
porated for school and police purposes by
the superior cowrts. In 1891 the legisla
ture passed an act that no town of less
than 2.000 should be chartered for public
and educational purposes except under
this section of the code. In 1893, however,
the legislature undertook to repeal the
act, but made a blunder of It, the repeal
ing act being irregular and of no effect,
under the decision of the supreme court.
The repeal of the act of 1891 being inef
fective, the charters granted these towns
by the legislature are void, as they should
have been chartered by the superior
courts. There are a large number of
towns operating under charters and
amendments granted by the legislature
since the passage of the defective re
pealing act of 1893, and under the decision
of the supreme court all ordinances cre
ated by these towns under these char
ters are void. Tt is hard to tell just yet
how far-reaching the decision is. Some
lawyers take the position that the coun
cilmen of the towns affected can be forced
to refund ail taxes collected under the
illegal charters, as well as all fines im
posed for violations of ordinances. Others
are of the opinion, however, that this
cannot be done, as the taxes and fines
were paid voluntarily. The railroads run
ning through these towns will escape tax
ation by the municipality on account of
the nullification of the charters. At the
next meeting of the legislature, however,
a bill will doubtless be introduced to rem
edy the chaotic condition of these dissolved
townships.
ATLANTA’S MAYORALTY.
Charles A. Collier the First Candi
date in the Race.
Atlanta, Ga., June 11.—Hon. Charles A.
Collier, president of the late Cotton States
and International Exposition, to-day an
nounced his candidacy for mayor of the
city. The election will not be held until
December, but Mr. Collier wanted to be
In the race early. He will make an ag
gressive campaign for the reduction of
city taxes from IV4 to I>4 per cent., which
he declares in his announcement is suffi
cient to run the town if economy is prac
ticed. Other candidates are expected to
follow' Mr. Collier In making formal an
nouncement, and a lively scramble is in
prospect.
Wedding n Tlfton.
Tifton, Ga.. June 11.—Mr. Gus Sperlin

DRUGGED AND OUTRAGED.
WORTH COUNTY REXDY TO LYNCH
THE ALLEGED RWISHER.
■
Miss Inez Sessions the Victim of the J
Crime and Tom Edwards, Sob of
the Station Agent at Tiftoa, the
Man She Accuses—He Claims They
Were Both Drunk on Wine and
That It Was Not a Case of Assault.
Waycross, Ga., June ll.—Tom Edwards,
a son of the depot agent at Sumner, eigh
teen miles west of Tifton. In Worth coun
ty, was arrested Saturday on a warrant
charging him with having drugged and
outraged Miss Inez Sessions Saturday- j
night a week previously, and yesterday he
was spirited away by the sheriff of Worth
county to Macon, and lodged in the Bibb
county Jail for safe keeping, as the Isa
bella Jail is considered unsafe against the
Indignant people of Worth county, who
are greatly wrought up over the affair,
and would probably have organized a mob
to lynch Edwards.
The excitement In Worth county Is still
unabated, and to-day a petition to Judge
William Spence of the Albany circuit for
a speedy trial of Edwards Is being signed
generally throughout the county.
The prominence of the families, and
especially of the young lady, adds inter
est to the affair. The story of the case
from both sides reached here this evening
by Capt. J. F. Stone, who was at Sumner
and made a thorough investigation of the
detabs. It appears that Edwards and
Miss Sessions attended a meeting of a
social club a week ago Saturday night
three miles from Sumner. They went in
a buggy and Edwards had a bottle of
wine and was drinking.
Miss Sessions' story Is as follows: Ed
wards asked her to take a sip of wine
and after much persuasion she merely
sipped the wine one time He then gave
her some fancy candy which she partook
of and soon became unconscious, the can
dy having been drugged. Ed
wards having succeeded in putting her
under the Influence of the drug, carried
her out into the forest, remaining with
her all night and brutally outraged her.
Miss Sessions remembers nothing of that
night's experience, she says, only the fact
that Edwards cruelly assaulted her sev
eral times while she was unable to defend
herself.
Edwards says he and Miss Sessions were
both drunk on wine all night, and he kept
her out because he did not want her to
go home while drunk. He said she offered
him no resistance, and he did not ravish
her. When arrested, Edwards said he
was willing to marry the girl, but Mrs.
and Miss Sessions declined, saying they
wanted Justice. A physician was sum
moned to Miss Sessions on her return
from the woods that morning at day
light, after she had been kept out ail
night by Edwards. The physician at 10
o'clock found her still in an unconscious
state from the effects of an opiate. He
pronounced her Injuries serious, and she
Is still In a dangerous condition.
Miss Sessions is only 15 and very pretty.
She is the only child of Mrs. Sessions,
the widow of a prominent merchant or
Sumner, who died several years since. The
arrest of Edwards was postponed until
last Saturday for some cause, and the
matter was kept quiet until yesterday,
when a lynching seemed imminent arid
Inevitable.
JEALOUSY COSTS TWO LIVES.
A Negress and One of Her Lovers
Killed ly a Rival.
Louisville, Ga., June 11.—A terrible trag
edy occurred at Wadley, ten miles from
here, Tuesday night, In which two per
sons lost their lives. Lelia McCrary, a
negro woman, had been keeping company
with a ‘negro man named Sandy Oli
phant, who was to marry her Sunday.
Louis Brookins, a negro school teacher
in the neighborhood, also had been going
to see the woman. Brookins met Sandy
in Wadley and asked him to go to Leila's
house with him. When the three were
together about 10 o’clock the subject of
marriage was brought up. Brookins ask
ed Lelia if she was going to marry San
dy. She replied that she preferred to
marry Brookins, but she was going to
marry Sandy, giving Brookins a chance
to propose. Brookins replied: "You
won’t marry him.” and pointing his pis
tol at Sandy Ollphant, shot him twice
through the breast and still holding the
woman by the hand, shot her through
the abdomen.
The man died at once. The woman
lingered until this morning, when she
died. The murderer escaped. A reward
will be offered for his arrest.
