The Cause of Pain.
An ache or pain is not of itself a
disease, it is biit a symptom, and
warns thr sufferer that there is some
thing the'matter with his physical
organization. Weak kidneys," bad
blood, antTnervousnessare frequent
ly the source or cause of the many
mysterious acning sensations that
afflict the body. You can remove
the cause of such distress by using
B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm).
C. H. Robetts, Atlanta, Ga , writes:
"My kidneys were disordered and
gave me excruciating pain. A sin1
gle bottle of B. B. 15. helped me won
derfully." Wm. N. Nelson, McDonough, Ga.,
writes: "B. B. B. has benefited my
aaugnter very much. ne was af
flicted with severe nervousness. I
think it the best family medicine."
W. R.Ellis, Brunswick, Ga., Writes:
"I have tried B. B. B. and find it a
great thing for the blood, it also
cured me of rheumatic pains."

deck boat be stationed near to

such vessels as may pass the off

that that there has been no evi

the loss of the British barque San

or inefficiency on "the part of the

Tlie Poor House lJumetl.
The alarm of fire last night, about
12 o'clock, was caused by the de
struction of the County Poor House
and House of Correction, situated a
short distance North of the city.
The mam uuilding ana tne insane
department were destroyed, as also
a part of the stockade. The en
gines and trucks turned out but
were sent back when it was found
that the fire was beyond the city
limits. It is not known at this writ
injr how the fire was started, but it
' i at i
is sunnosed tnat it caugnt irora a
defective flue in the main building,
where the fire was first discovered.
Fortunately, through the strenuous
exertions of Mr. S. Hill Terry, the
Superintendent, all of the inmates
were gotten out safely and nearly
all of the furniture was saved. Mr-
Terrv and a hired man -were the
only ones injured. Both were burn
ed about the hands, the former pret
ty severely in trying to save the fur
niture, after the inmates liad been
removed. The actual value of the
buildings we could not ascertain
but there is insurance enough, it is
thought, to nearly cover all of the
loss. From Mr. II. A. -Bagg, Chair
man of the Board of County Com
missioners, we learn that this amount
ed in all to $3,340, ofv which Messrs.
Smith and Boatwright had $2,200 in
the Liverpool, London & Globe, and
Mr. M. S. Willard $1,140 in the
Northern Insurance Co. This was
all that the insurance companies al
lowed. The buildings were oil of wood,
and but one story in height. They
were all erected since the war. They
will be replaced, of course, as soon
as possible and it is probable that
substantial structures of brick will
soon be erected on the site of those
destroyed last night.
After the above was in type we
learned that there is a strong sus
picion of incendiarism in connection
with there. It was 'first discover
ed in a part of the main building
where it is alleged that there has
been no fire in twelve months. The
loss will probably exceed the insur
ance by $1,000 or more. The Com -missioners
smile not unpleasantly
when you tell them that you 'are
glad the old shells have been safely
made away with and that you hope
the county will now. see its wav to
erect handsome , ' and substantial
brick buildings there. " '
TUK NEW ORGAN.
An Excellent Instrument The Largest
in the State Elegant and Ornate in De
. sign ana Pure, Sweet and Powerful in
Tone.
The worshipping congregation of
the First Baptist Church are to be
congratulated upon the acquisition
of the new organ, which has just
been placed in position in their
house of worship. It is certainly an
excellent as well as elegant instru
ment, pure, rich and powerful in
tone, without a shadow of harsh
ness, as is too frequently the. case,
in any of its notes or combinations.
Some description of this magnifi
cent instrument may be of interest
to our musically-inclined readers;
hence, we give a'synopsis of its prin
cipal features: It is of black walnut
and is 21 feet in height, 1G feet wide
and 8 feet deep, with 25 stops and
i,z iu pipes; iour mecnanical regis
ters and five different pedal move-
ments; two manuals of CI notes each
and 30 pedal notes. The following
are its more particular features:
Great Organ Compass, O to
three-line c; -One 16 ft Bourdon; ono
eight ft open diapason; one eight ft
dulciana; one eight ft melodia; one
four ft octave; one three ft twelfths;
one two ft fifteenths, three ranks
mixture and one eight ft trumpet.

four ft flauti no; one eight' fc corno

eight ft bassoon.

coupler; swell to pedal coupler and
bellows signal.
Pedal Movements. Forte com
bination: great organ piano: combi
nation piano; reversible pedal, to
operate great to pedal coupler; bal
anced swell pedal and tremulant.
The organ is gothic in structure
and the pipe ornamentation is in
-
green, reu ana goia colors, giving a
subdued, but chastely unique ap
pearance to the instrument, which
can hardly fail to have a pleasing
effect upon the beholder.- It cost
3,000, but, in tiro opinion of an ac
complished organist who tested its
possibilities, it is superior in tone to
many much more costly organs upon
which he has played in the North.
It will be publicly, used for the first
titiin nn fli rifrlif r( a 0l fnof
at which time a grand vocal and in
strumental concert will be given at
he church. Miss Cannie Chasten,
a thoroughly accomplished mtisi
cian, win preside at the organ. Sev
eral other excellent organists will
also assist: at the same time testing
its powers and special qualities,
while the choir will have the vocal
assistance of tome of the heft ama
teur talent in the citv. besides the
invaluable aid of Mr.C. D. Jenkins,
daughter of Rev. Dr. Pritchard,
whoseglorious notes have more thati
once made glad the hearts of a Wil

The. fibre factory was found to be
in full operation on the arrival of
the party and Mr. A. Scott, the gen

explain all of the operations. The
works are now exclusively engaged

The company is now known as
the American Pine Fibre Company,
with a capital of $1;000,000, and with
headquarters in this city. Tho
stock is largely owned here but
much of it is held by partiesjreside&S
in Georgia and Mississippi. Ttxd
stock has all been taken up and it Ifl
understood that the company trill
establish other mills in various tec

where the yellow pine grows freely
It is hoped that, in process of time
they will handle a large part of the
bagging demanded for the cotton

crop, Ji not an oi it. une ming is
8 u re, and that is that the pine fibre
is already proving a formidable
competition to the jut bagging.
There is no danger, as some bayo
apprehended, of a wholesale destruc
tion of the pine forests throughout
the South in the manufacture of this
fibre. It has been sufficiently dem
onstrated that there Is no loss In
this respect. Th,e leaves are
