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. . “61 Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind.” 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.

One of the most elegant affairs of the week was the luncheon g;ven by Mrs. S. R. Jaques in honor of Mrs. Walter Douglas Lamar. Pink and white carnations were lavishly used in the decorations, and a de licious menu was served with elegance. Mrs. Jaques' guests on the occasion were Mrs. Lamar, Mrs. James H. Blount, Mrs. J. L.

Macon people will be greatly interested in her books. * * • 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.” Emily Hendree Park. 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.

Judge Falligant assessed him a fine of SI,OOO and costs, or twelve months on the chaingang. The fine was paid. This was Charles W. Freeman. Three proprietors of policy lotteries, Chas. Collman, J. Hirsch and Ed. Marcus, pleaded guilty before Judge Norwood, and each was fined SI,OOO or twelve months.
