"DEALING WITH DEALS.”
The Macon Telegraph’s Opinion of the
New Atlanta Paper.
The following editorial appeared in
yesterday’s Macon Telegraph:
The rumor of a new daily in At
lanta, the mention of Capt. Evan P.
Howell’s name in connection there
with, and the activity of the friends
of ex Senator David B. Hill in bring
ing his name forward for the presi
dential nomination in 1900, seem,
when taken together, to have more
than a pasing significance, in the
opinion of many. But Howell and
Hill will hardly be together in 1900.
It will be remembered that Senator
Hill mads a Southern tour in the in
terest of his campaign for the presi
dential nomination in the convention
of 1892. "The story goes that Hilj
promised, if nominated and elected,
that Capt. Howell should be appoint
ed postmaster-general. The Consti
tution supported Hill, and the Jour
nal advocated the Cleveland cause.
The result is well known, and is said
to be the cause of the ill-feeling ex
isting between Hoke Smith and the
Howells.
TLe story was and put in
circulation last year, with the further
addition that the same position was
promised the captain by Mr. Bryan
when it was bis'to give. It was this
that caused so much comment among
democrats who saw the Constitution
picturing daily the bright prospects of
Bryan’s success and at the same
time making such a vigorous fight
for Capt. Howell’s election as United
States senator.
Whether the story be true or not, it
certainly reflects no discredit on any
of the three persons concerned, if it
was intended to run the department
on business principles, as Capt.
Howell would have done.

IT MAY NOT WORK.
The Bill Introduced In House to Save
Mrs. Nobles’ Neck.
By legislative enactment tbe Geor
gia legislature will seek te save the
life of Mrs. Elizabeth Nobles, says
the Atlanta Commercial.
Mr. Berry, of Whitfield, introduced
a bill at last night’s session providing
that tbe death penalty may not be in
fl'cted upon women, except in cases
where the jury finding guilty especial
ly recommends capital punishment.
The law is ex-post facto, and is in
tended to apply to tbe case of Mrs.
Nobles. It was suggested by Gov
ernor Atkinson. The governor has
been much embarrassed by tbe Nobles
affair and wants to be relieved of tbe
responsible of commuting her sen
tence or letting her go to tbe gallows.
Attorney General Terrell said that
tbe bill would not apply to tbe Nobles
case, as an ex-post facto law could not
apply in a case like this.
“If it passes, though, it will give
tbe governor an additional reason for
commuting Mrs. Nobles’ sentence,”
tbe attorney general said.
This seems to be the reason tbe gov
ernor has in wanting the bill passed.
It will give him backing in commut
ing the sentence.
There is a diversity of opinion as to
what effect this bill, if passed, will
bave on Mrs. Nobles’ case.

Sarsaparilla
Sense.
4
Any sarsaparilla is sarsapa
rilla. True. So any tea is tea.
So any flour is flour. But grades
differ. You want the best. It’s
so with sarsaparilla. There are
grades. You want the best. If
you understood sarsaparilla as
well as you do tea and flour it
would be easy to determine.
But you don’t. How should
you? When you are going to
buy a commodity whose value
you don’t know, you pick out
an old established house to
trade with, and trust their ex
perience and reputation. Do so
when buying sarsaparilla.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has been
on the market 50 years. Your
grandfather used Ayer’s. It is
a reputable medicine. There
are many Sarsaparillaa
but only one Ayer’a. It
cures.
KIGHTS OBTAINED.
Way For LaFayette Road Now Clear.
Georgia Monument and Markers.
Engineer Betts, of the park commis
sion, stated to a Chattanooga Times
reporter that the LaFayette road, from
Chickamauga park to LaFayette, Ga.,
would be built, all matters as to right of
way having been settled.
Concessions have been made “by the
state of Georgia, and all other inter
ested parties for the right of way for the
government boulevard from liee & Gor.
don’s mill to LaFayette. Ga., a distance
of thirteen and one-half miles. Congress
has already made a separate appropria
tion forjthis road, and all that now re
mains is to bnild it.
The former contention was as follows:
In Georgia the legal width of a road is
thirty feet, and the government desiring
to bnild a fifty foot wide road, they ex
perienced difficulty in getting right of
way, all of which has now been settled
and conceded by the state of Georgia
and individual citizens, and the La-
Fayette road will now be built.
Georgia Monument.
A large derrick has arrived at Chicka
mauga park to be used in construction
of the Georgia monument. The material
for this handsome shaft is being pre
pared and will soon be shipped to the
site. Native Georgia granite will be
used in its construction.
Markers lor the Georgia organizations
engaged in the Chickamauga fight,
about sixty in all, are being prepared,
and will be put in place at the park as
ready. The markers will be of Georgia
granite and will be quite handsome in
design.

GARRARD’S FLAN.
He Has Scheme Whereby 10 Per Cent Tax
May Be Evaded.
Hon. Louis F. Garrard, of Columbus,
has the general assembly
on how to legally evade the 10 per cent
tax on state bank issues.
Mr. Garrard’s plan for evading this
tax was for the issuance of merchandise
certificates, something like this "Pay to
David O’Caldon $5 in merchandise.” Mr.
Garrard says this form of circulating
value has been held nonwtaxable by the
United States supreme court. The certi
ficates may be itsued. Pay to holder $5
merchandise silver buillion, and would
nut be taxable.
This, iu short, is Mr. Garrard’s plan for
evading the unjust tax on state banks by
legal methods.
Mr. Garraid is a great state bank
advocate. It was he who was author of
the plank in the democratic platform
calling for a repeal as the tax on the
issue of state bauks. Mr. Garrard shows
in a very forceful and emphatic way how
state banks would equalize tbe circula
tion of money, would prevent so much
hoarding in financial centers, and would
-put silver in freer circulation.
ft is probable that some bill embody
ing the plan of Mr. Garrard will be
introduced. He was listened to most at
tentively by the legislators,
It is easy to catch a cold and just
as easy to get rid of it if you com
mence early to use One Minutes Cough
Cure. It cures coughs, colds, bron
chitis, pneumonia and all throat and
lung troubles. It ia pleasant to take
safe to use and sure to take.—Curry-
