THE COMMISSIONERS Something About the Personnel of the Three Convict Guardians. SELECTION HASPOLITICALSIGNIFICANCE Appointments Made With a View Os Strengthening Governor’s Forces All Over the State. The Atlanta correspondent of the Sa vannah News fends out the following about the governor's recent appointments: The three men who will have charge es the new penitentiary system are all well qualified for their work. Mr. Turn er hns had ample experience as principal keeper, and Mr. Beach is a young man of fine business ability, while Gen. Evans will bring to the work a thorough knowl* edge of humanity and a devotion to duty that will make him an invaluable adviser to his two younger and more aggressive co-laborers. While the appointees are all well adapted to the positions in which the governor has placed them and their work is morally sure to be commended by the people, for they are all good and capable men, there is every reason to believe th-t politics had a good deal to do with their selection. Gov. Atkinson has, for some time past, been anxious to form a bond of union with Gen. Evans and his powerful follow ing in state politics. He offered to make him state librarian some time ago, but there was a hitch in the matter. It is also said that the general was asked how he would., like to be adjutant general in case the two offices now held by Gen. Kell could be separated, or in the event that it might be necessary to appoint a successor to him. These overtures, it is understood, were not repulsed by Gen Evans, who was further assured during the late senatorial campaign by Gov. Atkin son's friends, that he would be suport ed by them for governor if be would help Gov. Atkinson for the senate by the present appointment. It is ex pected that Gen. Evans will use bis influence to divide the veteran vote in next year’s election, and give what he can of it to Joe Terrell for gov ernor. As matters stood up to today it seemed that Col. Candler would get this vote solidly, but as the back bone of the Terrell boom Gov. Atkin son hopes to see a rally of the Evans forces to that candidate. In case he should bocome a senatorial candidate again, be counts upon the alliance to do him personal service. Jacob Beach of Brunswick is relied on to strengthen the Atkinson-Terrell forces in South Georgia. He is a politica leader of considerable prestige in his section, having held a number of electoral offices during the past twen ty years, having been clerk of the su perior court for six years prior to to day's appointment. With him and Judge Spencer Atkinson, recently made railroad commissioner by the governor, the Terrell forces will carry the war right up into the dußignon camp. There was probably less politics in the appointment of Mr. Turner than either of the others. He was so pre eminently the man for the place that the governor could not overlook him. At the time he Will probably do some good service in the sections where Hon. H. A. Jenkins, bis fellow towns man, is likely to get most of his A man may say or think -j?

Many men imagine that hard work— “hustling” they call it—counts for every thing. In the long run the easy-going man who takes time to think of his health and his personal appearance outstrips the reck less. neglectful “ hustler. ” Many men are held back in the struggle of life by their personal appearance. Through neglect of the digestion their blood gets full of im purities and humors which show themselves on the face and body in the shape of skin affections, blotches, eruptions, eczema and scrofula. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery drives all impurities from the blood and cures all forms of skin affections. It is the Sreat blood purifier, liver invigorator and esh builder.

One of the most common general debility, accompanied by a culiar condition of the blood. Care and tonic treatment of the fe ile organs relieve more cases of sup posed incurable barrenness than any other known method. This is why Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound has effected so many cures; its tonic properties are directed es pecially to the nerves which supply the uterine system. .Among other causes for sterility or barrenness are displacements of the womb. These displacements are caused by lack of strength in the ligaments irting the womb and the ovaries; re ese, and the difficulty ceases, Here, he Vegetable Compound works won ee Mrs. Lytle’s letter, which follows olumn. Go to the root of the matter, restore the strength of the nerves and the tone of the parts, and nature will do the rest. ’Nature has no better ally than this Compound, made of her own healing and restoring herbs. Write freely and fully to Mrs. Pinkham. Her address is Lynn, Mass. She will tell you, free of charge, the cause of your trouble and what course to take. Believe me, under right conditions, you have a fair chance to become the joy ful mother of children. The woman whose letter is here published certainly thinks so: “ I am more than proud of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and cannot find words to express the good it has done me. I was troubled very badly with the leucorrhcea and severe womb pains. From the time I was married, In 1882, until last year, I was under the doctor’s care. We had n« children. I have had nearly every doctor in Jersey City, and have been to Belvin Hospital, but all to no avail. I saw Mrs. Pinkham's advertisement in the paper, and have used five bottles of her medicine. It has done more for me than all the doctors I ever had. It has stopped my pains and has brought mo a fine little girl. I have been well ever since my baby was born. I heartily recommend Mrs. Pinkham’s medicine to all women suffering from sterility.”— Mbs. Lvov Lytle. 255 Henderson St., Jersey City, N. J. strength. Mr. Turner is for Terrell for governor, despite his fellow towns man’s ambition, and the contest be tween these two in the Blue Grass counties is sure to be an interesting feature of next year’s campaign. Os the other two men who are brought forward by the organizer of the prison commission, Jacob Moore is popularly supposed to be able to do any old thing with Floyd county, and it goes without saying that he will do it for Terrell next year. Douglas Glessner, the secretary of the new commission, is editor of the ' Griffin News. He was an applicant for state librarian, and believe he would have received the appointment because of his loyalty to Gov. Atkin son in his first race, but for the fact that he is an Ohio man, and the old veterans made a fight upon him. He is a member of the state executive committee, and although he failed to carry his county for Atkinson in the campaign with Evans, he was the governor’s friend by earnest efforts, and his appointment now is his re ward. •'Only the Best ’’d Should be your motto when you need a medicine. Do not be induced to take any substitute when you call for Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Experience has proved it to be the best. It is an honest medicine, possessing actual and unequalled merit. Be wise and profit by the experience of other people. Hood’s pills are the favorite family cathartic, easy to take, easy to operate. ATKINSON AND .THE QUARANTINE. The Governor to Veto the Bill Passed by the Legislature. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 23.—Gov. At kinson will, in all probability, veto the resolution passed at the late ses sion of the legislature committing the state to the national quarantine. He says the is essentiall un democratic, and seeks to make the state admit its inability to control its own affairs, For these reasons, he will withhold his approval, submit ting a message with bis veto, setting forth his views on the subject at length. He will act upon the resolu tiong tomorrow, which is the last day allowed by law for the executive to pass upon legislative acts. MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION.

Sanitary Chief Veal, of Atlanta, Says the Danger is Nealy Over. Chief Veal, of the sanitary depart ment, announced yesterday that there was no further grounds for scare about the smallpox situation, says the Constitu tion. He says the disease is now com pletely under control, and will be wiped out in the next few days. Over forty cases were dismissed from he pesthouse yesterday. About 100 now remain. Only two cases were found in the city yesterday and two Tuesday, The disease is on the decrease, owing to thor ough vaccination. That this vaccination has been thor ough is evidenced by the fact over 75,000 people have been vaccinated by the city physicians and under the supervision of the board of health during the recent scare. Every residence street in the city has been, visited and very few families have escaped the virus. This virus alone has cost the city near ly $3,700, while the expenses of :he physicians will run this amount up to nearly $6,000. The boaid of health de serves much credit for the manner in which it has handled the disease, and there will be no further scare this winter.

A Writer in The Nashville American Praises Frank Sparks. Last Sunday’s issue of the Nashville American contains a three column article on southern boys who have made great reputations as ball players in the Nation al league. He says of Frank Sparks: “Pitcher Sparks, who was drafted hy Philadelphia from the Texas league this fall is a resident of Cave Spring, Ga. He began his professional career with the Montgomery club in 1895, going thence to Texas the next season, where he has since done work of a character that has attracted the attention of the big league managers. Philadelphia has decided not to retain Sparks and he will probably go to Brooklyn next season.” Young Sparks is at work in Anniston, and has stated to friends that he would give up playing baseball professionally.

The elever maiden will do up her Christmas gifts in the dain tiest way possible. There - isn’t a woman whp does not dote on receiving an odd looking pack age—something that w.itl appeal to her curiosty because of its individual ity. And to make to holiday present perfect by reason of its dainty doing up requires but a little forethought and a tew shekels. The true Christmas colors are the hues of the holly, and they may be used admirably in making a dress for the Christmas gift. For instance, or e may go to the man who makes boxes and buy a dark green box,' tied with a scarlet bow of ribbon, or vice versa. Instead of this desirable color combi nation in the box and a bow, a white box may be utilized with a bow of ribbon which has the holly design woven in it. Still another idea is to use the white box and ribbon, sugges tive of snow, and in the generous bow fasten a small spray of the green leaves with scarlet berries. If the fancy box is not within the possibilities of the purse, gauze like tissue paper makes an attractive wrapping. This may be put on plain and secured with tiny ribbons, or the et ds may be fringed delicately with the scissors and twisted at both ends, as candy kisses used to be in days gone by. Then there is the young woman who only has dimes in her purse for the Christmas presents, who may in a simple way utilize some of these ideas for a dainty covering for the Christ mas gifts. Last year one ingenious maiden, suddenly embarrassed finan cially, could not bear to have the hap py Christmas time go by without sending her dearest friend some little remembrance. So she sat down to think, and a clever idea came. She took her calling cards and wrote cheery Christmas greetings to each in dividual friend. She then put these messages in small envelopes and tied them with tiny red ribbons, securing the seal in the back with a bit of red wax. This is precisely the way lovers did to secure their billet doux in the days of the troubadours. This mod ern maiden next inserted a bit of mistletoe under the ribbon. This dainty little package, with a charm ing individuality, was placed in a larger and heavier envelope and en trusted to the care of Unele Sam. In short, a Christmas gift without a spray of holly or mistletoe—or their colors—is like the play of “Hamlet’ with Hamlet left out—Philadelphia Times. Many Think! When it was said to the woman: “In sorrow shalt thou bring forth chil dren,” that a perpetual curse was pronounced, but the thrill of joy felt by every Mother when she clasps to her heart her babe proves the con trary. True, dangers lurk in the pathway of the Expectant Mother and should be avoided. “Mother’s Friend” So prepares the system for the change taking place that the final hour is robbed of all danger and pain. Its use insures safety to the life of both Mother and child, and makes child birth easy and recovery more rapid.
