EUGENE DEBS, .
LABOR LEADER,
Speaks at the Academy of
Music on Next Mon
day Night.
SOCIAL DfMOCW
Will be His Theme and He Will In
terest His Audience on Sub
ject of Labor.
Eugene Debs and Social Democracy will
be the atraction and the theme at the
Academy of Music on next Monday night.
Mr. Debs comes 'to Macon to arouse in
terest and give information on the subject
of his great scheme of Social Democracy
which he says is destined to be a new
tparty in the whole country before the next
election.
In fact Mr. Debs says that the party of
Social Democracy will play no small part
in the next congressional elections.
Mr. Debs will be remembered as the
president of the railway employes’ organ
ization, who figured so prominently in the
great strike at Chicago. He was arrested
•and confined in jail for some time on a
■charge of contempt of court.
When he was engaged in the organiza
tion of a union for railroad men, two
years ago he visited Macon. He conferred
with the local labor leaders, and made a
public address.
The mass meeting Monday night prom
ises to be largely attended, as it is being
looked forward to with much interest in
labor circles.
The city council has been invited and
has accepted the invitation to be present
at the meeting and to occupy seats upon
the stage.
A number of representative laboring
men will also be present and the heads
•of the different labor organizations of the
•city.
The address introducing iMr. Debs will
s oe delivered by Mr. Claude Estes.
It is probable that Mr. Debs will be ac
•companied to Macon by Mr. William D.
Mahon, president of the National Street
Kail way Employes Association and that
he will address the meeting on “Business
Reasons why Laboring Men Should Or
ganize.’’ .
CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
INTERESTING EXPERIENCE OF AN
INDI INAI’OEIS GENTLEMAN.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite aud Good Digestion
Mean, Make a Test of Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets.
■No trouble is more common or more mis
understood than nervous dyspepsia. Peo
ple having it think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring reme
dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost
sight of; the stcmacb is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach
weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself
not in the stomach so much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the heart
palpitates and is irregular; in others the
kidneys are affected; in others the bowels
are constipated, with headache; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and appe
tite, with accumulations of gas, sour ris
ings and heartburn.
Mr. A. \\. Sharper, of No. 61 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind., writes as fol
lows: “A motive of pure gratitude prompts
me to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, Stuart’s Dys
pepsia Tablets. I have been a sufferer
from nervous dyspepsia for the last four
years; have used various patent medicines
and other remedies without any favorable
result. They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects of the medicine
wore off. I attributed this to my sedenta
ry habits, being a bookkeeper with little
physical exercise, but I am glad to state
that the tablets have overcome all these
obstacles, for 1 have gained in flesh, sleep
better and am better in every way. The
above is written not for notoriety, but is
-based on actual fact, Respectfully yours.
.*« “A. W. Sharper.

It is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any stomach weakness
or disease except cancer of stomach. They
cure sour stomach, gas, loss of flesh and
appetite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heart
burn, constipation and headache.

The Southern Educational Journal for
December contains pages of interest
ing leading matter, and is an entertaining
periodical to parents as well as teachers.
It should be read by everyone .interested
In educational work, or I might say inter
ested in living, for education is life. The
Southern Educational Journal, which is
published in Atlanta, and edited by Pro
fessor G. R. Glenn and Miss E. S. Harri
son, is the official organ of the 'Education
al Committee of the Georgia Federation of
Woman’s Clubs, and this number contains
the Second annual circular of the Educa
tional Committee of the Federated Clubs
of Georgia. In this report is urged re
newed effort in forming free kindergarten
associations, and in having the kinder
gartens form a part of the public school
system. The second suggestion in the re
port is as follows:
“That we strive to obtain moral instruc
tion in the schools. If character building
is more than mind building, if a large
part of the child’s time in the character
forming period is spent in the school
room, then we should see to it that teach
ers, supervisors and .superintendents are
of unexceptional moral and mental cali
bre. This is a Christian country, and
Christian principles, but not sectarian
dogmas should be inculcated in our
schools. Protestants, Roman Catholics,
Jews, all alike recognize the Ten Com
mandments as the highest ethical code.
They are the very foundation stones of
patriotism and citizenship. Let club wo
men co-operate with the parents, and ask
tae school authorities to give regular,
systematic instruction in morals. Eighty
per cent, of the children of the United
States attend school only four years, and
many receive no other moral in
struction than that of the schools.
As loyal citizens of Georgia, we cannot af
ford to ignore the moral blindness of our
negro and degraded white population. The
consecrated teacher is a missionary in the
truest sense of the word. She, is helping
child to build a soul house.”
Then it is urged to put women on boards
of education, and the success of this move
is proven by referring to instances where
women have ably filled such positions.
Each and every suggestion in this able
report should be generally read and ap
proved by ail intelligent, thinking peo
ple.
There is also in this number a splendid
article by Mrs. R. E. Park, chairman of
the Educational Committee on the subject
of .American Women in Education. The
article, which is all good, ends thus:
“Why say any longer that women only
follow where men lead? More and more,
women are suggestors, originators, inven
tors. Is it not time that the women of
Georgia should come forward and take a
leading part in the educational work of
the state? Twenty-one out of the twenty
three states in the General Federation are
pushing the subject of education as the
theme of utmost importance to American
women. The New York clubs call them
selves “The Federation of Women’s Clubs
an 3 Educational Association of New
York.” May the Georgia Fedration of Wo
men s Clubs, likewise, become a strong
working force for the cause of education,
and may the newly awakened interest of
the women mean, wherever it makes itself
felt, advancement and progress, “sweet
ness and light.”

DENTAL PARLORS.
Tr.e Finest and Best Equipped Anywhere in
the South.
The American Dental Parlors. No. 370
Second street, are the busiest people in
Macon this week. They have made and
put on over (52 fifty-two crowns besides
the other work incident to a busy dental
office. Drs. Young & Lanier are the pro
prietors of this, the banner Dental Office
of Georgia, and- to say that they are hust
lers, only one-half expresses it. These
gentlemen are working at bed rock prices,
on the 5 cent cotton basis. They keep
busy, work for cash, lose no bills, thus en
abling those desiring -the very best work
at a figure within the reach of all advant
ages never before offered by any Dental
firm in the state. This 13 the only office
in Georgia that gives one hour each day
to charity. This is the only office in
Georgia that gives a ten-year guarantee
on all work, and they are here to stay.
They have a five year lease on the beau
tiful offices they now occupy, and their
parlors are beyond any doubt the finest
furnished and equipped of any to be found
in the South.
