Public opinion is
never far wrong
You can cheat it for a time, but only for
a time. The average life of a patent
medicine is less than two years. They
are pretty well advertised, some of them,
but it isn't what is said of them, but
what they are able to do which carries
them through the years.
A YER'S
Sarsaparilla
(which made Sarsaparilla famous)
has never recommended itself to do what it
knew of itself it could not do. It has never
been known as a cure-all in order to catch
all. For half a century it has been the
one true, safe blood purifier, made in the
best way out of the best ingredients.
Thousands of families are using it where
their fathers and grandfathers used it
before, and its record is equaled by no
other medicine.
Is the best any too
good for you?/

,A Protest.
Washington, Apri 25,-The German
government has entered a formal protest
against the language used by Capt.
Coghlan at the Union League club
banquet in New York last Friday night.
quet in New York last Friday night
The protest was lodgud with Secretary
Hay through the German ambassador, Herr von Holleben.
Secretary Hay replied that the language appeared to have been used at
a dinner in a club and so could not be
regarded as an official or public utterance
in the sense that it would warrant
the state department in acting.
However, the navy department was
fully competent to take such action as
the case seemed to require. With this
statement the ambassador was content
for the time at least and will
doubtless await a reasonable length of
time upon the navy department. There
are semi-official intimations that the
ambassador will not so much concern
himself with the course of Capt. Coghlan
as with the course of the United
States in dealing with Coghlan. The
German ambassador stated yesterday
that the poem recited by Capt. CoghIan
was "too nasty to be noticed."
The German ambassador appeared
at the state department at noon yesterday
for the purpose of making further
representations to Secretary Hay,
touching the conduct of Capt. Coghlan
so that the utterances of Capt. Coghlan
at the army and navy club, as published
in Sunday's paper, were regardded
as an additional offense. An effort
was made to ascertain whether
the United States government intended
to do anything officially in view of
subsequent developments in the case.
Secretary Hay has not changed his
position in any degree. He deprecated
the lack of tact and the bad taste
shown by Capt. Coghlan and he did
not hesitate to let that be known to
the German ambassador. But he still
held that the case was one that required
treatment by means of naval
discipline only and one with-which thestate department could not concern itself.
The German ambassador

StrickIland's Fate.
Palmetto, Ga., April 25.-The body
of Lige Strickland, the negro preacher
who was implicated' in the Oranford
murder by Sam Hose, was founud
swinging to the limb of a persimmon
tree within a mile and a quarter of this
place yesterday. Before death was allowed
to end his sufferings his earswere cut off, and the small finger of his
left hand was severed at the second
joint. These trophies were in Palmetto
yesterday.
On the chest of the man was a scrap
of blood-stained note paper attached
with an ordinary pin. On one side oG
this paper was written:
"New York Journal: We must protect
our ladies. 23-99."
The other side of the paper contained
a warning to the blacks of the
neighborhood. It read as follows:
"Beware all darkies. You will be
treated the same way."
Before being finallly lynched Strickland
was given a chance to confess the
misdeeds of which the mob supposed
him to be guilty, but he protested his
innocence until the end. Three times
the noose was placed around his neck
and he was drawn up off the ground;
three times he was let down with
warnings that death was in store for,
him should he fail to confess his complicity
in the Cranford murder. Three
times Strickland proclaimed his innocence,
until weary of useless torturing,
the mob pulled on the rope and tied
the end around the slender trunk of the
persimmon tree. Not a shot was fired
by the mob. Strickland was strangled
to death. The lynching was not accomplished
without a desperate effort
on the part of his employer to save
his life. The man who pleaded for
him is Maj. W. W. Thomas, an exstate
senator, and one of the most distinguished
citizens of Coweta county.
He did all in his power to prevent the
lynching of Strickland and did not discontinue
his efforts until he had been
assured by the leaders of the mob thatthe man would be taken to jail at
Fairburn. One mile from where this.
