VOL. XIX. Judiciary Committee Votes in Favor of Impeachment. Matter Is Now Up to House for Initiatory Action, and Then to Senate for Final Abitrament of the Case. A Washington special says: The house committee on judiciary Monday voted to impeach Charles Swayne, federal judge for the district of Florida. The committee reached this conclusion at a session lasting from 2 until 6 o'clock. The vote and the details of the charges which will form the ground of impeachment, the committee agreed to withhold until the report of the case has been compled for presentation to the house. This report is to be drawn by Representative Palmer, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the sub-committee which took the testimony in the case. Of this sub-committee Messrs. Palmer and Clayton, of Alabama, reported to the full committee in favor of impeachment, while Representative Gillett, of California, reported against it. Mr. Palmer's report will be prepared at once. If the house votes to impeach Judge Swayne, two of its members will be appointed formally to notify the senate, before which body, sitting in a judicial capacity, the case, must be tried. The case against Judge Swayne would be conducted by six managers, who would be members of the house, elected by that body by ballot for the work. Judge Swayne, after the case has been presented to the senate by these managers, will be given an opportunity to present his side of the case While the committee has voted to give out no details of the case at present, it is known that the charges on which testimony was taken include those of being absent from his circuit, being a non-resident of his district, imprisoning a lawyer in a contempt proceeding; imprisoning the son of a litigant, also for contempt of court, and refusing to hear a certain witness in a case before him, alleging that he would not believe the witness under oath. The last impeachment proceedings were those of Andrew Johnson. Only three federal judges have been impeached. These were Judge Pickering, of New Hampshire, who was impeached for giving up the bark Eliza to her owner without taking proper bond after the bark had been seized for smuggling, being drunk and using profane language on the bench. Judge Chase, of Pennsylvania, was impeached for refusing to allow a lawyer to address the court or the jury on a question of law which he already had decided. Judge Peck, of Missouri, who was the last judge impeached, was charged with improperly striking the name of a lawyer from a roll of attorneys for contempt. James Buchanan was one of the managers on the part of the house in this trial. The proceedings against Judge Swayne, if carried to the senate, undoubtedly will delay for several weeks the adjournment of the present session of congress. If the senate decides, against Judge Swayne, the penalty attached to the decision is the loss of his judgeship. Judge Swayne was appointed from Delaware by President Harrison in 1890. His politics are republican. MANY CANDIDATES AVAILABLE. Death of Congressman Thompson Changes Political Slate in Alabama The death of Congressman Thompson makes a vacancy in the Fifth Alabama district which will be hard to fill. Already many candidates have been mentioned for the succession The situation is somewhat confusing, but it is thought that the candidates will be requested to file applications and have their names on the ticket for the April primary and state who will be for the unexpired term and who for the next term. Negro Assailant of Mrs. Shields and Daughter, Locally, Executed. Daughter Legacy Executed. Henry Williams, a negro, was hanged at Roanoke, Va., Friday. The execution was witnessed by several hundred persons assembled in the jail yard, while thousands thronged the streets about the prison. The crime for which Williams was hanged was committed on January 30 last. He entered the house of George J. Shields, and after assaulting Mrs. Shields, cut her throat. He then struck Mildred, the 3-year-old daughter of the couple, over the head with a hatchet, and robbed the house. Commission Holds Its First Meeting in 'Washington—Letter from President Roosevelt is Read. A Washington special says: Preliminary work was begun Tuesday by the fistmian canal commission. The first full meeting of the commission was held in the offices of Admiral Walker, the chairman. Little of importance was accomplished, the session resolving itself into an informal discussion of various features of the preliminary work and of preparations for the first visit of the commission to Panama. General instructions to the members of the commission were contained in a letter from President Roosevelt to the commission under date of March 8. The letter, which was read at the meeting, says that the commission has been appointed to "undertake the most important and also the most formidable engineering feat that has hitherto been attempted." It is said the commission has been chosen purely because of "personal and professional reputations for integrity and ability;" that it represents neither section nor party and as to the majority the president has not the slightest idea what their political affiliations are. The letter says the president will not hesitate to remove any member falling to give the best service it is possible to procure. The letter continues: "I assume as a matter of course that in dealing with contractors you will act on precisely the principles which would apply in any great private business undertaking. "As to the details of the work itself, I have but little to say. It is to be done as expeditiously as possible, and as economically as is consistent with thoroughness. There is one matter to which I wish to call your special attention, the question of sanitation and hygiene. You will take measures to secure the best medical experts for this purpose whom you can obtain, and you will, of course, make the contractors submit as implicitly as your own employees to all the rules and regulations of the medical department under you. "The expenditures are to be supervised as rigorously as if they were, being made for a private corporation, dependent for its profits upon the returns. You are to secure the best talent this country can afford to meet the conditions created by every need which may arise. The methods for achieving the results must be yours. What this nation will insist upon is that the results be achieved. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." After the meeting adjourned President Roosevelt entertained the members of the commission and Secretary Taft at luncheon. DEATH CLAIMS DR. M'DONALD. Well Known Baptist Diving Succumbs Diving of Baptist Kesaw in Atlanta to Stroke of Apoplisy in Atlanta. Dr. Henry McDonald, the well known and beloved Baptist divine, passed away Tuesday morning at the home of one of his daughters in Atlanta, Ga., from a stroke of apoplexy. Dr. McDonald was 70 years old at the time of his death. He held many positions of trust and honor, having been at one time professor in the college at Georgetown, Ky., president of the mission board of the Georgia Baptist convention, and also of the home mission board of the Southern Baptist Convention. He was for many years a trustee of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, at Louisville, Ky., and in countless ways has been a leading figure in the affairs of his church in this section. During his career he served some of the largest and most influential churches in the denomination in the south. For 18 years he was the pastor of the Second Baptist church in Atlanta. Born in Ireland, he early demonstrated his love for fair play and the observance of the rights of others by leaving his native land to avoid witnessing the oppressions of the English which he was powerless to prevent. Seeking a home in this free country, he at once went to work to fit himself for one of the learned professions. He read law and was admitted to the bar, but soon left the practice to enter the ministry, and from that choice he never wavered. PREPARING FOR CANAL WORK. Plans of the Commission Discussed by Admiral Walker. In concluding his hearing before the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, Admiral Walker, president of the Panama canal commission, stated that actual work on the canal would be begun after the commission had made a stay of a few weeks on the 15thmus, for which it was to sail March 29. The arrangements for this work will be completed in Washington, where the committee is to have one of its headquarters. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH. 26. 1904. STORM OF PROTEST Various Calculations Made as to Expense that Will be Entailed When Every Beneficiary Has Been Enrolled. The "service pension" order recently issued by Pension Commissioner Ware, at the behest of President Roosevelt, is being made the basis of a broadside from the democratic press. In a communication sent the senate in response to a request, that he estimate the amount of increase, which a service pension of $12 per month will call for, Mr. Ware said: Thus 87,884 pensioners would receive an increase of $72 per year, or a total of $6,334,848; 141,203 would receive an increase of $48 per year, or a total of $6,777,744, and 53,744 would receive an increase of $24 per year, or a total of $1,299,856. In addition to the above, the bill would give title to about 90,000 survivors of the civil war, who are now pensioned under the general law at rates less than $12 per month. The average pension now paid them is about $7.80 per month. They would, therefore, be entitled to receive an increase of $2.40 per month, or about $50 per year, a total of $5,500,000. Another class that would take under the provisions of the bill is the "unknown army" of civil war survivors. Their number on July 1, 1904, will not be less than 175,000, and none of them has as yet been pensioned. How many of these survivors would apply under the provisions of the bill cannot be determined in advance of its passage, but if 150,000 should apply, the amount required to pay them at the rate of $144 each would be $21,600,000 a year. The grand total of benefiaries under this bill would be over 500,000, and the amount required to pay them at the rate specified would exceed $40,000,000 per year over and above the present appropriation. Exact Number Unknown. Commissioner Ware submitted a list of 870,000 known surviving soldiers of the civil war, of whom 615,000 are more than 62 years old. In another communication he estimated that of this number 191,000 are not now on the pension rolls and would become beneficiaries under the recent order. Then there is what Mr. Ware has called an "unknown army" of civil war, survivors, which he says probably embrace as many as 175,000. Of this number, fully 130,000 must be more than 62 years of age, which number, added to the above estimate, would bring the total of new pensioners added by this new order up to 321,000. This, at the minimum figure per month, would mean the addition of $23,000,000 annually, without taking into account those persons now upon the pension rolls who would, according to the present understanding of the order, be placed upon the rolls at rates in excess of those now applying to their cases. The chief reason for the difference in the various estimates of the number of beneficiaries under this"service pension" order grows out of the fact that the exact number of survivors of the war who are not now on the pension rolls is not known. Commissioner Ware's figures, stated above, place this number at 321,000. It may be larger, or it may be smaller. AMEER VICTIM OF POISONERS. Nominal Ruler of Afghanistan, Habibullah Kahn, Sald to Be Defunct. A dispatch received in St. Petersburg from Ashkabad (the capital of the Russian Trans-Caspian territory), says a rumor is current there that the ameer of Afghanistan has been poisoned. Habibullah Khan, the ameer of Afghanistan, was born in 1872, and succeeded to the throne on the death of his father, Abdur Rahman Khan, October 1, 1801. CORSET MAKERS DISHEARTENED. American Girls Take Up Too Much "Space" to Allow of Profits. Dealers in corsets in Paris say that their profits are growing smaller as the American girl keeps on expanding. Puny-sized corsets are no longer in demand for the American market. Instead, of three and four shoe measures, five and six are demanded, and the extra silk and cotton that goes into the stockings intended for the American market is enough to make a manufacturer's hair stand on end. Sports and good living are blamed for the change CHINA AIDING JAPANESE? Russia Suspects and Charges that Mikado's Warships are Being Secretly Coaled on China Coast A St. Petersburg special says: The government's private information is not completely reassuring as regards China's sincerity in observing a neutral attitude. Secret advices indicate that at least a powerful party in the Chinese government is abetting the Japanese. Although at first reluctant to credit these reports, the Russian authorities continue to receive evidence that the Japanese contemplate landing on Chinese neutral territory west of the Liao river and 17,000 men are being held especially to await developments in that direction. Moreover the emperor's naval experts who have been studying carefully the puzzle as to where Vice Admiral Togo's fleet is coaling and provisioning between its appearance off Port Arthur, are becoming more and more convinced that it is using as a base some quiet spot on the Chinese coast. After each disappearance not a word is heard of the fleet's whereabouts until it reappears. A calculation of time and distances show it is quite impossible for the fleet to steam to Nagasaki or Hiroshima, take on board coal and ammunition and come back. It is also certain the Japanese warships could not take on coal, much less heavy projectiles at sea in the face of the prevailing rough weather. The idea that they are using Chemulpo, Fusan or some other place on the Korean coast for this purpose is rejected, as it is believed that if such were the case the numerous secret correspondents and secret agents of the Russians in Korea would certainly have reported the fact, whereby, by process of elimination, the Russians seem compelled to arrive at the conclusion that the vessels of the Japanese fleet must be refilling their bunkers in some inlet on the Chinese coast, either on the gulf of Liao Tung or the Shan Tung peninsula, so far from ports and inhabited centers that the correspondents are unable to get wind of it. The dwindling number of Japanese battleships appearing off Port Arthur is increasing the conviction that many of them have had to put back to Japan for a thorough refitting. RUSS VICTORY UNCONFIRMED. Report Was Current That 1,800 Japa Had Been Taken Prisoners. A private dispatch received in Che Foo from Mukden states that a battle has taken place on the Yalu in which the Russians claim to have captured eighteen hundred prisoners. 'Nothing has reached London to confirm the foregoing report. A dispatch from St. Petersburg to a news agency dated Sunday says there has been no change in the situation, and that all is quiet on both land and sea between the Russian line from Ping Yang to the Yalu river and the Japanese line to Gensan. There have been slight skirmishes between scouts, but no battle has taken place, as the distance between the opposing armies is great. The bulk of the Russian forces, the dispatch adds, has not yet passed the Yalu river. Representative of the Fifth Alabama District Passes Away in Washington. Representative Charles W. Thompson, of the Fifth Alabama district, died in Washington city Sunday afternoon of pneumonia. Mr. Thompson had been sick just one week. Toward the end he suffered intensely. Accompanied by his son, Charles W. Thompson, the Rev. F. J. Pettyman, pastor of the Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal church, south, where Mr. Thompson worshiped while in Washington, and the congressional committee, the remains left Washington Monday night for Tuskegee for interment. Representative Thompson was in the forty-fourth year of his age and was serving his second term in the house. Two sons, his mother and several brothers and sisters survive him. CHINAMEN WIN THEIR CASE. Supreme Court Passes Upon the Question of Deportation. In an opinion by Justice Day, the supreme court of the United States Monday reversed the decision of the district court for the eastern district of New York in the case of three Chinamens (all laundrymen), who are held in Brooklyn for deportation under the Chinese exclusion laws. All the witnesses had stated that the men were engaged in mercantile pursuits and that, therefore, were not subject to deportation. The supreme court has issued an order to the lower court directing discharge of the men. PORTARTHURFALLS LAND AND SEA ATTACK Russelan Troops Were Engaged in Rear of Port Arthur, and Jap Fleet Blmultaneously Bombarred the Harbor and Town. An Associated Press dispatch sent from Tokio, Japan, states that a Tokio paper published a report Monday afternoon to the effect that a Japanese division had landed in Liao Tung Peninsula, on March 19, and engaged the Russian troops in the rear of Port Arthur. Simultaneously the fleet bombarded the town and harbor. The action began at 6 o'clock on the evening of the 19th and continued until 10 o'clock in the morning of the 20th. Sixteen ships were engaged in the attack. The result is reported to have been the occupation of Port Arthur by the Japanese. No further details are given and the report remains so far unconfirmed, but a fresh assault on Port Arthur has been expected for some days. A sharp encounter is also reported to have occurred at Chyong Syong, on the Yalu river, in which the Russians lost 600 killed and wounded. ITALIANS AND POLICE MIX: Hit Occurs in Dago Settlement in New York City Over a Murder. During a riot in an Italian settlement at 114th street and First avenue, New York, Monday, one man was killed and several wounded and the police were drawn into a battle which lasted half an hour. They succeeded in arresting three men suspected of complicity in the murder. The trouble started by Alexander Fico and Cincenzo Maresco, who got into a fight over a woman. Knives were drawn and soon a hundred were fighting. Several pistol shots were heard, and then the crowd made way for the escape of three, who ran into a house. Fico lay dead on the pavement. The police were endeavoring to heat their way through the mob and finally reached the murdered man. A weeping girl at his side pointed to the house where three men had taken refuge. Then the police had another fight, but finally dragged the men from their hiding place and carried them away. It was found they had changed the outer garments and thrown away their weapons, but three little girls identified them and declared one had fired the shot which killed Flico. An Italian was probably fatally wounded by a city detective who was trying to hold at-bay a mob which had attacked him. GEORGIA CONVICTS PRO-RATED. Secretary Yancey Figures Out the Number Each County Will Get Secretary Goodie Yancey, of the Georgia, prison commission, has completed a table of the number of convicts each county which is to work the short term men will get and the place they are to come from. Fulton county gets the largest number of men, 106 altogether. These convicts are to be put to work on the public roads of the counties which work them. The following is the full list: Bibb county, 45; Burke county, 27; Clarke county, 16; Coweta county, 22; Coffee county, 15; Columbia county, 10; Dougherty county, 12; DeKalb county, 19; Elbert county, 18; Fulton county, 106; Fleyd county, 30; Green county, 15; Johnson county, 10; Jefferson county, 16; Jones county, 12; Jackson county, 23; Lincoln county, 16; Monroe county, 19; Morgan county, 14; McDuffie county, 9; Glethorpe county, 16; Pulaaski county, 17; Richmond county, 48; Spalding county, 16; Terrell county, 10; Walton county, 18; Wilkes county, 12. Twenty-nine counties will receive a total of 613 convicts. MERGER BILL HELD UP. Governor Vardam, of Mieslissappl, Shire at Legislative Enactment. The Mississippi legislature adjourned sine die at Jackson shortly after the noon hour Tuesday. The closing session was enlivened by a bitter fight over the celebrated merger bill, authorizing the consolidation of the Mobile and Ohio and Southern railways. Governor Vardaman, has announced that he will not act on the bill until the next legislature convenes. In other words, it will be two years until it is known whether or not the merger bill is to become a law. Furnished Southern Democrats by Mr. Patterson Declarea South's Self-Abnegation Has Lasted Long Enough and Dike Should Furnish a Candidate for the Presidency. In a speech delivered in the house of representatives, Congressman. Patterson, of Tennessee, voiced tersely and clearly a sentiment which, though perhaps long latent in the thoughts of southern public men, has recently, become most pronounced in the undercurrent of discussion of democratic possibilities in this year's campaign. Has not the time come when the democracy of the south may, and in justice to itself should, name one of its leaders for the presidential honors? The most significant utterances of Mr. Patterson were as follows: "The time has, come for the south to assert her political independence and resume her historical place in the union. The hour is now for the south to lift the mortgage on her electoral votes, which she has paid to the ntermost farthing. "I do not think that to nominate a southern man for the presidency would change one electoral vote against the democratic party. For one I am weary of hearing the constant and subservient iteration that the south is for any man whom the north may name for president. It is an injustice to the south and a reflection upon the intelligence and patriotism of the northern democracy. "The question should no longer be, from what state or section a possible nominee of the democratic convention should hall, but should solely be, what are his qualifications, what his worth as measured by the high office to which he aspires." EDITOR RICHARDSON DEAD. Hon. F. H. Richardson, who for years was at different periods editor of The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta Journal, Columbus Enquirer-Sun and Macon Telegraph, and one of the best known newspaper men in the south, died Saturday morning at his residence in East Point, Ga., six miles from Atlanta, after a lingering illness of nearly two years. The announcement of the death of this brilliant journalist, whose writings have attracted attention in all parts of the United States, will be received with great sorrow in every section. No man was better known or better loved than Henry Richardson. His death was not unexpected, as he had been in a critical condition since November, 1902, when he was taken suddenly ill. At times he would grow better, and at one time he recovered sufficiently to resume his work on The Atlanta Journal, but in a few days he. was taken ill again and had to give up. Mr. Richardson leaves a devoted wife and a little child to mourn their loss. And not only will his family mourn, but thousands of his friends everywhere will be bowed in grief when they read the sad news of his death. F. H. Richardson was born in Upson county, Ga., July 4, 1858. His family moved to Atlanta when Mr. Richardson was two years old and he lived there nearly all of his life. He attended the city schools and then went to Emory college, graduating with second honor at the age of fifteen years. On his return to Atlanta from college, Mr. Richardson began the study of law under Luckus J. Gartrell, and was admitted to the bar. Shortly after becoming a lawyer he was offered a position on The Columbus Murray Sun, which he accepted. He worked on that paper in Columbia for a year and returned to Atlanta to make a place, on The Constitution. He worked on The Constitution for several years and was then made a washing correspondent of that paper. In Washington Mr. Richardson did excellent work and won a national reputation made hundreds of friends among public men at Washington and members of the newspaper trade there, and over years he sent to The Constitution the happenings in the national capital. Leaving Washington, Mr. Richardson returned to Atlanta to do editorial work on The Constitution. Later he accepted the editorship of The Moon Telegraph, where he served for two years, returning to Atlanta in 1981 to become editor of The Atlanta Journal. SUBSCRIPTION RAYES.

State Convention The Republican State convention met on Wednesday in Atlanta. Col. W. H. Johnson, J. W. Lyons, A. L. Johnson and H. S. Edwards were elected as delegates to the National Convention. No state ticket was nominated. Col. W. H. Johnson was elected chairman and Col. Deveaux reelected secretary. The administration was endorsed. Justice Needed. I fear that I am becoming somewhat of a nulsance to you, but it is impossible for me to keep silent under existing conditions. The National conscience is so utterly dead, all sorts of films charges and barbarous crimes are brought against the "Black Man," which if allowed to go unchallenged would be believed by the credulous and increase of the films charges and despises my inefficiency as a scribe I am bound to express my self in my crude wav. If there is anything that the Negro needs to-day it's Justice. Patrick Henry in his troubulous times said: "Give me liberty or give me death." I have often thought that it would be far more humane to kill all the Negroes outright than to treat them so unjustly. The Rev. Madison Peters late of the Bloomingdale Reformed Church, New York City, wrote a book entitled "Justice to the Jew" to God he would write another entitled "Justice to the Negro." It is not possible, aside the Negro's faults, but knowing too well that the injustice perpetrated upon him is responsible for many outbreaks I can't help but cry for "Justice." My prophecy concerning the “interest” taken in “Miller the boy swindler” was correct wasn’t it? According to the Morning News Saturday, March 12th, he has landed in a state that some compare to a very hot place. In the same article referred to, it is said: “The officers of the police are dealing with him, back.” Of course not, his skin is white; had he been a “nigger” some enterprising sherif or detective with “spotters” and bloodhounds would have gone even to Gehenna or Topet to bring him back. Crime is crime no matter by whom committed, and I can not and will never see the justice in permitting white criminals to go unpunished while Negroes are pursued to the full extent of the law. In the Morning News, Monday March 31st there’s an article “Wants to ride on city sidewalks” it being the outcome of the fine in “Police Court” of a citizen for that violation of the city code. The case leads us to believe that the officers in the southern section of the city are more vigilant than those in the northern; the police, the gentleman was ridiculed far south. Knowing full well how zealous the officers of the law arrest Negroes for the slightest violation of the most trifling ordinances (sometimes violation through ignorance) my blood naturally boils when I see members of the "superior" race flaggeer in my office. I ask you know what's a fact? A prominent merchant whose firm is on one of the prominent streets beginning with "II", and living between Gaston and Liberty, treats the sidewalk riding code with contempt. Notwithstanding there is a paved street in his block which could be reached in fifteen seconds, and take him on other deliberately comes out of his house, rides through the square, then on the sidewalk for an entire block. This is a daily occurrence; My desk being at a window overlooking the street I see him shooting by any time. Talk about lawless Negroes, what do you call this? If the citizen who was shot with would like to "get square" I'd be glad to point out the offending party to him. Here in America we think we "know it all" but it has been left for Africa to teach us a lesson in applied logic and differentiation, dispatch from Johannah, to the African nation, the absence of an order forbidding colored persons the use of the sidewalks; very wisely adding that did not apply to respectable colored people. It is just this sort of discrimination in their Civil Rights that the colored people of Africa are guilty of a scandal, fussing but which an illogical and unjust people deny them. Yours Truly. Justice. Visiting by Churches. The offices and executive committee of the Colored American Society are visiting the various churches in interest of the proposed grocery store. Sunday night before last St. James church was visited, and Rev. J. A. Hadley made an appeal to the people in their behalf. On last Sunday night St. John church was visited and Rev. WmGray spoke in the same strain. Tomorrow night St. Philips church, Charles street, will be visited. Miss Sarah Jackson and Mary Bosbooms have been appointed to collect. Others will be appointed later. They are required to report at Lawyer E. M. Morse's office, TRIBURE building on Monday morning at 10 o'clock for instructions. Miss Rosa L. Beifeiullet is authorized to collect dues and assessments from the members. She can be found at No. 531 Gaston street, east by the members who are desirous of making payments. New Building at the A. U. Atlanta University is immediately to erect a new building for a practice school in connection with its normal department, to facilitate its work of training Negro teachers for the Negro public schools. A specially will be made of the training of kindergarten teachers. The building, and its equipment are to cost $15,000, the funds having been provided by the General Education Board of New York, Mr George Foster Peabody, and other friends of the University. The contracts have been signed, and on March fourth the exercises in connection with breaking the ground were held, addresses being made by several members of the Faculty after which President, Bumstead, sped up the first aboveful of dirt. The building is to be completed, and ready for occupancy at the opening of the term next fall. First A. B. Church Dots. Last Sunday was the greatest financial day that has been had in this church for many years. This rally was only for forty days duration. No soliciting cards were used. Several house entertainments were given, otherwise the monies were directly paid by the active, working and loyal members, of the church. The members whoided in this rally and the Presidents of the various clubs deserve great credit for their noble work. It is said that Dr. Carr has taken the prize as a financier, he he has been receiving congratulations on every side. The members of the church say that they have a "Moses" indeed as a leader. The clubs paid the following: Pastor's Club No. 1. $143 26 Charles Matthews, president. 17 75 Oscar Elmore, president. 16 50 Rev W. G. Clark, president. 16 50 T. R. Williams, president. 23 30 H.

The church is so well pleased with the work of Dr. Carr that at the regular monthly conference Monday night it gave him an indulgence vacation; to be taken when he wishes to. The members who did not pay their donation last Sunday will be expected to pay them not later than the first Sunday in April. Tomorrow at 3 p. m. Dr. Carr will preach the annual sermon to the Knights of Pythias; and at 8 p. m. he will preach a special sermon to the various clubs that aided in the grand rally. $ ^{c} $Good Friday Services. Good Friday Services Good Friday services at St. Stephen's church, Habersham, between Harris and Macon streets: 7:30 a.m. 12 to 3 p.m. 8 p.m. For years the Good Friday services at this church have been quite a feature. It is a day that is held very sacred and solemnly observed by some Christians, why not by all? No matter to what church we belong, we can all gather around the cross of the crucified on Good Friday. Many business houses close on that day and vessel put their flags at half mast. The services from 12 to 3 is known as "The Three Hours Service" and marks the time that our Lord hung upon the cross. During this time addresses are delivered on the seven last words the Savior uttered from the cross; all the hymns being in keeping with the occasion. No one is obliged to remain throughout the entire service if he can't. There are few who can come for five or ten minutes at least. The service begins promptly at twelve and ends promptly at three. I extend a cordial invitation to Christians of every creed. All the seats are free. The story of the cross, is sung at night. Faithfully Yours, Richard Bright, rector St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. St. James Dots. The services at St. James A. M. E. church last Sunday were well at tend d. Rev. C. W.

Cartledge gives some helpful advice to young girls. Her letter is but one of thousands which prove that nothing is so helpful to young girls who are just arriving at the period of womanhood as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:—I cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound too highly, for it is the only medicine I ever tried which cured me. I suffered much from my first menstrual period, I felt so weak and dizzy at times I could not pursue my studies with the usual interest. My thoughts became sluggish, I had headaches, backaches and sinking spells, also pains in the back and lower limb. In fact, I was sick all over. "Finally, after many other remedies had been tried, we were advised to get Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am pleased to say that after taking it only, two weeks, a wonderful change for the better took place, and in a short time I was in perfect health. I felt buoyant, full of life, and found all work a pastime. I am indeed glad to tell my experience with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, for it made a different girl of me. Yours very truly, Mrs M. CARTLEDEG, 633 Whitehall St., Atlanta, Ga." At such a time, the grandest aid to nature is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the necessary changes, and is the surest and most reliable cure for woman's ills of every nature. Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women who are ill to write her for free advice. Address, Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Firs. Estes, of New York City, says: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I write to you because I believe all young girls ought to know how much good your medicine will do them. I did dress-making for years before I was married, and if it had not been for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I do not believe I could have stood the strain. There is no other work that is such a strain on the system. Oh, how my back used to ache from the bending over! I would feel as though I would have to scream out from the pain, and the sitting still made me so terribly tired and weak, and my head throbbed like an engine. I never could eat after-work, I was so worn out. Then I was irregular, and had such frightful cramps every month they would simply double me up with pain, and I would have to give up working and lie down. But Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound changed me into, a strong, well woman. Yours very truly, MRS. MARTHA ENTRES, 513 West 123th St., N. Y. City."

First of Thames vehicles built in 1467. As popular as coaching, is in some parts of the country but little reliable information has ever appeared in the public press respecting its history and development. At the town of Kotze in Hungary in 1457, the first coach was constructed. This was soon afterward presented to Charles VII, at Paris. The first authentic record of a stage coach in England shows that six of such vehicles were in use there in 1662. So popular did they become in that country that a few years later they were in general use on all the principal roads of the kingdom. Steam railways have, to a large extent; done away with the use of the coach as a link in the, commercial chain, but as a means of furnishing the highest type of recreation, the coach and four is as popular to-day in the British Empire and France as it was when this was practically the only means of locomotion in those countries. Stage coaching in America was almost co-extensive with the settlement of the colonies, and in the early history of the country there were few if any places, of any importance, that did not welcome the sound of the coachman's horn as one of the fascinating incidents of pioneer life. As civilization pushed itself westward, the stage coach was ever in the lead of those agencies which blazed its pathway. These vehicles, as well as their equipments, were comparatively crude in their construction, and unpretentious in their appointments, but they admirably served the purpose for which they were intended and laid the foundation for the popularity of coaching as a pleasurable pastime developed in later years. Coaching parties had been popular in England and France for several generations before they were introduced in this country yet the sport is so wholesome and enjoyable that it cannot be doubted that in time it will become as popular here as it is across the Atlantic.

Institute Orators talked about it, while in the farm home by the quiet fireside, in the corner grocery, in the village postoffice, in the evergreen garden, in the ever farmers gathered, Salzer's Billion Dolli Grass, that wonderful grass, good for 5 to 14 'tons per acre, and lots of pasture besides, is always a theme worthy of the farmer's voice. A. Wallford, Westlore Farms, Pa., writes: "I have 80 acres in Salzer's Alafia Cover. It is a beautiful crop that crops this season and have lots of pasture besides." JUST SEND THIS NOTICE AND 100.

MR. AND MRS. J. O. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO. UNDER date of January 10, 1897, Dr. Atkinson says, after five years' e Hartman received the following letter: "My wife had been suffering from a com- plication of diseases for the past 25 years. "Her case had baffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation, of several years' standing." "She also was passing through that most critical period in the life of woman—changer of life. In Ivy, I wrote to you about her case. You advised you about Peruna and Mandalin, which we at once commended, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these wondful remedies. "About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been 28 years standing. At times I was almost past going to school, according to your instructions and continued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me. "Your remedies do all that you claim for them, and even more. Catarrh cannot exist where Peruna is taken according to directions. Success to you and your remedies." John O. Atkinson. In a letter dated January 1, 1900, Mr. "Aren't you afraid that a great many people will criticise you for becoming rich?" "Yes" answered Senator Sorghum.

EIGHT YEARS OF TORTURE. No suffering more keen than kidney suffering. Sick kidneys make bad blood; cause weak, stiff and aching backs; cause blind, sick and dizzy headaches, lack of appetite and loss of sleep; keep you all tired out and spoil digestion. To have perfect health you must cure the kidneys. Read how one man was cured by Doan's Kidney Pills after eight years of torture. Henry Soule, of Pultney St., Hammondsport, N. X., says: "For eight years I suffered constant agony from kidney complaint. I endured the worst torture from gravel and the kidney secretions were excessive and contained sediment like brick dust. I had to get out of bed from ten to twenty times a night and the loss of sleep wore me out. Indiges- ```markdown ``` tion came on, and the distress after eating was terrible. Doan's Kidney Pills effected a complete and lasting cure, and after the symptoms of kidney trouble were gone my stomach began to work as it should. This lasting cure, especially in a person of my age, proves the great value of Doan's Kidney Pills more convincingly than could any words of mine." Doan's Kidney Pills sold by all druggists; price, 50 cents per box, or mailed on receipt of price by Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. X. Write for free trial. Atkinson says, after five years' experience with Peruna: "I will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna. In my rounds as a traveling man I am a walking advertisement for Peruna and have induced many people during the past year to use Peruna with the most satisfactory results. I am still cured of catarrh." John O. Atkinson, Box 272, Independence, Me. When old age comes on catarrhal diseases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that meets these cases exactly. Such cases cannot be treated locally; nothing but an effective systemic remedy could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna. If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
