la:ter ought to patronize us.
The supreme court of Georgia in a ;
recent decision declares the 10 per l
cent fees of Loan agencies is usury.
Where a man has bo rowed money
and gives notes for it at 8 per cent
and the agent charges 10 per cent
additional for his fees the court looks
upon it as usury and allows the bor¬
rower so to plead, and which would
make the notes void.
The Madisonian is very near, if
not entirely correct, in saying that
Gov. Atkinson stayed in the senato¬
rial race with his usual bull-dog te¬
nacity as long as he had any hope of
election, then withdrew in a very pa
1 riotic (?) manner. We see no pa
t riot ism in his action. It was to us
a clear case of “Billie couldn’t get
pudding, so he kept his pie,”
In speaking of the late convention
the Macon Telegraph says that four
excellent canpidates were nominated
for judges of the supreme court, and
it turned down Gober and along with
him, we hope forever, Goberisin in
Georgia politics. We are agreeably
surprised at the outcome of this con¬
vention. We are proud of it, and in
consequence, feel much more hope
ful of Georgia politics. Southern,
Southwestern and Midd’e Georgia
were very much in evidence in that
convention, and in its final action
May the spirit that manifested itself
in that body wax strong in the land
It seems that senator elect Clay
made a slip by referring to his elec¬
tion for senator, when he called the
convention to order to nominate su¬
preme court judges. He dished out
a lot of taffy to what lie called “the
common people,” and promised not
to have an evil thought during the
six years he expects to remain iu the
spnate. Steve is human, aud in or
der to keep that pledge it will be
necessary for him to get a harp, a
pair of wings and a golden crown
and carry them along to Washington
with ‘him, so as to let the people
up there understand that “although
of the world,” be is by no manner
of means “worldly minded.”
The Democratic convention iu At
lanta l ist week nominated for su
preme court justices the following
gentlemen : Hons Samuel Lumps
kin, of Oglethorpe; W. .4. Little, of
Muscogee ; A. J. Cobb, of I ulton ;
VY. H. Fish, of Sumter. All are
pure men and able lawyers, and the
probability is that they will be elec
ted on Dec. 18th without opposition,
The convention was in session part
of two days and until 11 o’clock one
night, it required extra time and
fine political work to defeat Judge
G >bar, one of the ‘machine,’or slate
candidates, who went into the con
vention with almost enough votes to
v.o.'uuiate lam uu the first ballot,

PLEASANT TRIP TO HAYSTON.
Broughton, Ga , Nov. 23, 1896.
Dear Enterprise .---Last week I
went up to Hayston to pay a visit to
my old friend, Fielder Ozburn. If
there is a better fellow on the top
(side of the earth (or bottom side
either) than generous hearted Fielder
it 1ms not been my good fortune to
meet him, and to say that I had a
good time genet ally but half way
expresses it His beautiful and ac
compiished daughter, Mi-s Claude.
delighted me with some splendid mu
sic on the organ. If I could always
1 feel as good as I did under the
strains of her sweet voice and per
j feet touch on that organ, I’d be a
J good fellow all the balance of my life
| Fielder carried me over his plan¬
‘
tation and I must say there is not
finer lands in old Newton. Every¬
thing on the place is in good order,
showing that a skilled farmer had
the management of it. We then
went over the lovely little town of
Hayston. Mr. Steve Hays has a well
stocked store of general merchandise
with Mr. J L Coffer as salesman.
Thei e is a rice depot on the M. G.
& A 13. II. There are several neat
residences and a number of building
lots for sale at no fancy prices. They
have a church that would do credit
to a place ten times the size of Hays¬
ton. The people are wide awake on
the subject of education and are put¬
ting the finishing touches on a neat
and commodious academy. Hayston
has a progessive, intelligent, moral
citizenship and Newton cannot boast
of a better section within her bor
ders Long may they prosper.
Respectfully, Sam Snip.
HOW TO PREVENT CROUP.
Some Reading that will Prove Inter¬
esting to Young Mothers. How
to Guard Against the Disease.
Croup is a terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the
cause, first symptoms and treatment
is the object of this item. The- ori
gin of croup is a common cold, and
children who are subject to it take
cold very easily and croup is almost
sure to follow. The first symptom is
hoarsness; this is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough, which is easily
recognized and will never be forgot*
ten by one who has heard it. The
time to act is when the child first be
comes hoarse. If Chamberlain’s
Cough. Cernedy is freely given all
tendency to croup will soon disap
pear. Even after the croupy cough
lias developed it will prevent the at¬
tack. There is no danger in giving
this remedy for it contsins nothing

Six weeks ago I suffered with a

tised in the St. Paul Yolks Zeitung
