Graham Thomson. Hattie, Ga., June 16,1902. Concerning the prospective issues of the next presidential campaign. Hon W. J. Bryan says: “It is too early yet to say what the issues will be at the next presidential campaign. I think that imperialism will be one of the principal ones, judging from the action of the house. The money question will also come up again. As to what part free silver will play, I cannot say. The republicans fear to discuss the Fowler bill. They say that the money question is a corpse, but the corpse has so much life in it that they fear to push this bill be fore election and have postponed it until the second session. The trust question will also come up for con sideration in the next campaign. At the present time democratic chances look good.” Regular Meals 25c.

The race war which has been in progress at Eldorado, Ills., since May 29, when a mob attacked the Colored Normal and Industrial In stitute, still continues. The homes of colored citizens have been stoned, warnings sent the occupants to leave the vicinity, and shots fired into their homes late at night. Many, through fear, have left. Many have sacrificed their homes, and in some instances their crops. Only five fam-. ilies remain, and two of them will leave at once.—Associated Press. Death of Mrs. Ed Lewis. On June 1st, 1902, surrounded by family and friends, our much belov ed friend closed her eyes to earth and entered the portals of joy and rest. To pay a loving tribute to her memory is a privilege of sadness, and we do not feel competent to do justice to her eulogy. Many friends and relatives were shocked to hear of her death, and they sincerely sympathize with those who mourn. She obtained a hope in Christ sev eral years ago, and joined the Primi tive Baptist church at Pleasant Hill; she has lived becoming and in hon or to her Master’s cause ever since, and was looked to by her church as one of its brightest jewels, whose brightness will be missed. Faithful to al) obligations of this life, and beloved by all who knew her, she leaves behind her an example wor thy of imitation. She was buried the day after her death at the family burying ground, Elder Gardner (her pastor) conduct ing the funeral services Her burial was attended by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends. To the bereaved husband, chil dren and parents our heartfelt sym pathy is cordially extended. Farewell, dear dust of Mrs. Mamie, Thy beautiful spirit has flown And left us desolate here, Amid sorrow and sadness alone. Wellston, Ga. Mattie Watson. psp? Elko Etchings. By Uncle Ned. Rev. J. E.

A Real Friend, “I suffered from dyspepsia and indigestion for fifteen years,’’says W. T. Sturdevant of Merry Oaks, N. C. “After I had tried many doctors and medicines to no avail one of my friends persuaded me to try Kodol. It gave immediate relief. I can eat almost anything t want now and my digestion is good. I cheerfully recommend Kodol.” Don’t try to cure .stom ach trouble by dieting. That on ly further weakens the systen^ You need wholesome, strengt' '* in<r f'vxl.

Edwards presided in the trial of a misdimeanor case, Judge Duncan being disqualified because of his former connection with the case as counsel for the defense. Mr. John Hurdle, who is a li quor dealer at Montezuma, was under indictment for selling li quor in Houston county, through an agent or clerk. It was alleged that Mr. Wra. Hurdle, a brother of defendent, had ordered liquor from defend ent and afterward parceled it out to individuals in Perry. Whether or not it was proven' that any sale had been made at Perry, the testimony failed to show that Mr. Wm. Hurdle was in any degree the agent of defend ent, and by direction of the court, a verdict was given in favor of the defendent. Had the relation of principal and agent been established, the defendent would, have been guilty under the "Taw of the offense charged.
