There are same opera'bouffe features at tendant upon the z.uia trail, tue Gallic temperament is dramatic. Your Freovh mau always imagines amiseif us bwiug on me other aide oi tae luoaigats. Tne read er oi History who admires the French peo ple (the one-time guiided people of Eu rope, through much glory and much ui uuevemeutj and me citizen of this coun try wno loves Republican ’institutions won der, uppreuunsively, wnat cue secund act will he. it is difficult to penetrate with anything approuomi.g exactitude me motive of zoia. There has been nothing Hugoesque in the career of the 'author ot “Nana." He ■writes nooks, .primarily, lor notoriety; and, dn a secondary way, nor the big checits his ■publishers send him. lie is a dissector and not a diagnostician. As a literary celeo iity ne stands in tne same relation to the reader as would a physician who, answer ing a call, says: ‘You have typao.d fever, any friend, two dollars. Gooa day," leav ing you poorer in purse and minus a pre scription. tilth a persistency, mattes ibeen ootn astonishing and ludicrous, Zoia tins tried lor years io .beat down the doors of the French Academy. And with a con sistency that has been both sincere and exceptional, tine forty immortals nave barred his entrance. Thiis exclusion has stamped bum as one wno seeks literary name by unapproved methods. lie is the central figure today in the greatest trial in France since that uigut when parliamentary judgment ■was passed upon Louis Capet, whose royal head was thrown to the hungry and ensanguined guilioitiiie. lit stands charged with publicly defam ing govermental and military oiidcials. He retorts that truth is not defamation and ■that publicity may remove the bandage itroiu the eyes of tue French people, ale boldly asserts that the trial oi Dreyfus was U farce. He proclaims himself the cham pion of Justice, and throws the gauntlet into the faces of the potent chiefs of the Frtnch army. Such courage is rarely witnessed. It has the martyr llawr about it. It may have the martyr's lei minatiion, for the life of Emile Zola today could not be insured for a sou. The generals of the array, a majority of the legislature, and the Faure government solemnly asseverate that Captain Dreyfus was fairly and legally tried and convicted. There are those who deprecate the re opening of the Dreyfus case, arguing that one man’s imprisonment is nothing com pared to the morale of the French army find the safety of the republic. Again, there are others (and their pa triotism cannot be questioned, though their discretion may) who predicate that the se crecy which characterized the Dreyfus ease and the opposition of militarism to its retrial are for the purpose of precluding inquisition so far that the caged man now on the “island of Devil," was made the scapegoat for more distinguished sinners. The political complexion of the two main alignments—Zolaisis and anti-Zolaists— are uniquely interestin.The Socialists and Anarchists are followers of Zola, not that they love the “Apostle of Realism,” tout that they hate the army and its allied potencies. Your bourgois shouts: “A ‘has Zola! not because he hates the prisoner much, but because ihe hates the {Semite more. Many splits have taken place in ithe chamber of deputies—in fact, that body is taking on a new political aspect. Drey fusism has outsped all other issues. The (French has a word, “denouement,” signifying discovery of a plot, the solation of a mystery, issue, outcome. Ah. the denouement! What will it be? Mill the man on horseback subvert the (Republic, and will the sword once more rule in La Belle France, as it did a hun dred years ago? Union AgainstZShysters. The Publishers’ Association of New York •has offered rewards aggregating $5,000 for proof against lawyers who have excited groundless actions or legal proceedings against any daily newspaper of the big metropolis. The offer is warranted by the penal code of New York state, which is intended to protect the press from unwar ranted assault and the various schemes of libel blackmailers. In so far as we know this is the first at tempt of publishers to combine against a certain sort of lawyers who lie awake nights in the hope of falling into a night mare ■where some one can be conceived to have been slandered, and spend the hours oi daytime hunting up people supposed to have been maligned, though they be inno cent of their alleged injuries. The shyster lawyer will be forced to find some more remunerative field for his car rion calling. The business of the courts must not be continually interrupted in ar -I‘iving at 6 cent verdicts. This action on the part of the Publish ers’ Association of New York, is evidently in line with the policy to be adopted by ihe American Newspaper Publishers’ Asso ciation. for the advertisement of the re ward is signed not only by Edward Payson Call, president of rhe New York Assoma lion, but by W. C. Bryant, secretary of both the New York and greater associa tion. A point of importance is that when a lawyer approaches some one alleged to have been libeled offering to share possi ble profits, the victim can act as a witness for the -publishers, secure at once his re ward and not wait for any improbable re ward from the courts. By Popular Vote. Ex-Secretary John G. Carlisle, in his article in The Forum, advocating the elec tion of the president and vice president by direct vote of the people, declares that “this is the honest, democratic and Ameri can method of ascertaining the choice of the people.” He says further that “it will scarcely be contended by one who has Carefully examined the subject that our institutions will be made less secure, or that any substantial interest will be im periled.” If these two statements be true beyond question. his remedy for the ex isting evil would seem to be commendable. Mr. Carlisle suggests a constitutional amendment providing that the president and vice president shall be chosen by the people of tie various states by ballot on a fixed day—each state to be entitled to electoral votes equal to the number of its Federal senators and representatives, and each person voted for "shall be entitl d to have counted in his favor a number of the electoral or presidential votes of each state corresponding to the proportion of the popular vote received by him in such state.” This remedy is not Mr. Carlisle’s by v r tue of priority of discovery. It has grown to be a popular belief. Whether states men as wise and patriotic as those who founded the republic are ready to make the change remains to be seen. Advertising. Lavish and extravagant advertising has been one of the rocks upon which many a worthy venture has been wrecked. Judi cious advertising pays, and should be fa vored; the class of people whom it will reach should be considered, a bicycle ad vertisement read but once does very little good, and for that reason you should aim to reach your prospective customers often When you select a method of advertising keep hammering away on the same place until you have impressed the people you are after with the idea that you have got a good thing and know it, and are not afraid to spend money to convince them of the fact. A poor article is seldom adver tised very long, and the public is discern ing enough to realize that you would not persistently advertise a poor wheel. Scattering advertisements in hotel lob bies, city directories, maps, programs, etc., are usually procurid at a cost very much out of proportion to the results achieved, and should not be used unless your profits are providing you with a safe surplus. One inch in a good local paper, displayed in the same place each issue, will do more to keep yourself and your bicycle before Ute public than many advertisements of the kind mentioned above.—Advance Cata logue of Cleveland Bicycles. Folly of Writing Letters. The imbecility of letter writers is a sub ject as -old as the world. As a corallary to the French proverb, “Look for the woman,” one can well say: “Look for the letter.” De Lome is not the first, nor will he be the last. Those who could stand on his right and left and acclaim in chorus: “Me, too, Dupuy,” are legion. Letters have caused wars—wars that have drenched the world in blood. The disastrous Moscow campaign was caused by a letter. Emperor Paul and the em press dowager would not give the sister and daughter in wife to the “scourge of Eu rope.” Napoleon discovered the truth by means of a letter, the Austrian alliance followed, and them the ruin of the grand army amid the snows of Russia. The Brit ish minister, Sackville-West, wrote a let ter for which Cleveland handed him his passports. Blaine wrote the Mulligan let ters, -and failed to become president of the grea test republic in the history of the world. ’ The chief factor in the conviction of Jackson and Walling was the letter written by the former to Will Wood. Then •here were the celebrated “Baby Bunting” letters, and in the already famous case of Lloyd versus Lloyd the episode that cul minated in the divorce court was the ab straction of a leter from the desk of the defendant. Talleyrand, statesman, philos opher and genius, said: “Never write a letter, and never burn one.” Sage advice is this. If there must be letter writing let the other fellow do it, and when you re ceive a communication from him don’t de stroy it. Let your motto be: “Don’t write, don’t burn.” Preacher Praises Press. Rev. E. H. Rawlings, of Richmond, Va., Methodist Church., delivered a most elo quent sermon recently on “The Bible in Christian Culture,” to a large and inter esting congregation. In speaking of different sources of cul ture, he said, in part: “One of the greatest sources of culture is the newspaper. One of the greatest in stitutions in modern society is the newspa per. So interwoven is it in the very fabric of things that there is not a phase of our civilization it does not touch and influence I't is not always what we would like to have it. Nor is anything else earthly or will anything earthly ever be all we would like to have it this side the Pearly Gates. But so close does it come to us, so vitally touches us, that we cannot ignore it if we would, and we should not if we could. "The newspaper is not only here, but, by every token, has come to stay. I for one am glad it has. While we rebuke firm ly and persistently its shortcomings, we will do its kindly. We will not by indif ference and opposition turn It over to the devil and the politicians, but by our very interest claim and keep it for God a-'d rlghteosuness. We will give it our sym pathy. we will give it our support and sometimes our prayers, and will do all in our power to make its spirit in modern life worthy of its great influence and power.” DANGER IN SODA. Serious Results Sometimes Follow its Exces sive Use. . Common soda is ail right in its place and indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended for a medicine and people who use it as such will some day regret it. We refer to the common,use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit w*hich thousands of people practice almost dally and one which is frought with dan ger; moreover the soda only gives tem porary relief and In the end the stomach trouble only gets worse and worse. The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels and eases are on record where it accu mulated in the intestines, causing death by inflamation or peritonitis. Dr. Harlandson recommends as the saf est and sure cure for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation sold by druggists under the name of Stuart’s dyspepsia tablets. These tablets are large 2u grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and prompt ly before it has time to foment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system. Dr. M uerth states that he invariably uses Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets in all eases of stomach derangements and finds them a certain cure not only for sour stomach but by promptly- digesting the food they create a healthy appetite, in crease flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not a cath artic, but intended only for stomach dis eases and weakness and will be found reli able in any stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach .All druggists sell Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets at 50c per package.

Sam Thomas, who, up to a short time ago, was a well known resident of Swains boro, but who has been “wanted” by the police on the charge of larceny and run ning a blind tiger, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Officers Plunkett and Du mas. He was taken to the barracks, and while there it is understood that he acknowl edged the truth of the charges against him. He will be taken back to Swainsboro some time today. CASTOEIIA.

Idren in two years be Is perfectly resigned to the inev itable title, even from a parrot’s lipa. There are several distinguished friends of thochief justice who talk parrot with him and swap bright sayings cf their pets. For one, the British embassador bas an exceedingly talkative and well Informed bird. His name is Jacob, and he bas been a pet in the family for 13 years- Not long ago Jacob was blown from the window seat of the dining room of the embassy and was picked up in the street by a boy— a good boy, as it happened—and conse quently was restored after about a week, in which the family n uly went distract ed. The good boy was rewarded by the finest atlas that Sir Julian could find, with his name in it. as a reward of merit, and the good boy is the envy of all his school mates. The wife of the Mexican minister, Mme. Romero, has a.parrot who is a fine lin guist. He speaks Spanish and French and occasionally English. He is a beauti ful Mexican bird and Is quite the Idol of the family. Miss Mitchell, daughter of J. J. Mitchell, cousin, of Mrs. Stanley Mat thews, has a parrot of rare attainments, who talks and sings. Judge Advocate General Lieber also has a well trained par rot.—Washington Letter in Chicago Trib une.

KING, Druggist, sole agent for Macon, Ga. f=* S pe» The Reasons of Jt It is not by accident or bj' chance that the Ivers & Pond piano is held in such high esteem. There is a good reason for it. The New England Conservatory of Music did not hapen to buy 227 Ivers & Pond pianos in preference to other makes. There- is a reason for it. It was not merely good luck that led nearly two hundred of the most prominent musical and educa tional institutions in the country to se lect the Ivers & Pond. It was the result of careful investigation and sound rea son. There are good sound reason why you should decide upon an Ivers & Pond if you are going to buy a piano. The reputa tion of the makers for liberal and fair dealing is your safeguard. The important patented improvements found in no other piano is another reason for deciding in its favor. But it is the watchful and pains taking care that follows every piano from start to finish, and the conscientious and intelligent attention given to even the smallest details of construction that is the reason why the Ivers & Pond Piano can be depended upon to give the best results and the best wear.
