WHITES DEFEXD A NEGRO.
Unjustly Arrest d by Revenue Officers,
They Rise Up in Arms in His De
fense. Macon, Ga., Sept. 6. Twenty
one of the representative busi
ness and professional men of
Wilkinson county came into Ma
con today to see that a negro,
Napoleon Anderson, did not lack
friends if the United States com
missioner should bind him over
on a charge of interfering with
United States . officers. Ander
son had taken out a warrant for
larceny against two revenue of
ficers passing through the coun
ty, charging them with stealing
his sugar cane. The officers
gave bond and then arrested the
negro, saying ho had sought to
interfere .'with the discharge of
their duties.
The white men of the county
roSe up in arms and refused with
force to allow the negro to be
taken away without due process
of law. The officers gave up the
negro and came to Macon, taking
out warrants for many of the
white citizens. These came in
today and brought the negro
with them, and announced that
as the negro had lived an exem
plary life in their midst, every
dollar in the county would be
usd to see that he was not im
posed on. The cases will all be
heard next week. -,

The Al. G. Field Big Minstrols
are soon to pay us their annual
visit. It is a saying as old as it
is true that "a- man is known by
the company he keeps," and our
old friend Field is one of. tho
men who never, keep anything
but the best procurable.. This
year is no exception to his long
established rule. His list of fun
makers is headed by Jake Welby,
Will Hackett, Fairrnan & Hyde,
and the Chesterfield of modern
minstrelsy Mr. -Dan Quinlan. Ac-
companying the
big minstrels
are the Do Velvos, French musi
cal experts, in a musical act of
five people, sparkling with real
novelty and real music. The
great Knetzger, the marvel of
the century. The Famous Faust
Family of Australian Acrobats.
Of course there is plenty of good
singing in the first part w"hich
by the wTay, is entirely different j
from the usual minstrel nist pftrt '.
and represents "ANigJjf.in Paris
during. Jthe Exposition." Tho
band and orchestra, always a I
feature with the Al. G. Field,1
Minstrels, are up to tfieir uhuAl

Treatment for a Sick Tree.
A reliablo farmar says that if
you bore a quarter of an inch
holo into 'the heart of a fruit tree
and inject as much dry common
sulphur as possible, then insert
a small plug to keep the sulphur
in placo, it will cure blight .and
make the tree strong and healthy
and in no way injure it.

(Questions Answered.
Yes. August Flower still has the larg
est, sale of any medicine ia the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using any thin z else
for indigestion or billiousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard of
appendicitis, nervous prostration or
heart failure, etc. They nsed August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of undigested food,
regulate the action rf the liver, stimu
late the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. Yoa only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower, in
liqnid form to make you satihed there is
nothing serious the matter with you.
For sale by all dealers in civilized
