THE HEARST MEN
ADMIT OF DEFEAT
In Georgia But Cling to Jim
Griggs
WILL MAKE FIGHT FOR HIM
E A V. FITE
Judge Turner Would Be Pleased To
Go to the Big St. Louis
Convention
(By Jasiah Carter.)
Atlanta, May 23.—The lines of
battle are being drawn up for the
final contest between the Parker
and Hearst factions and Wednes
day of next week will tell the
story. The Hearst men admit
their defeat, but they will try to
snatch Jim Griggs “as a brand
from the burning.” Lik« the
young doctor in Texas, they hope
to “save the old man.” They will
stick to Griggs to the very last-,
and if the Parker men are strong
enough to instruct the Hearst men
will urge that as a reason for let
ting Griggs go to St Louis. The
Parker men very well know that
the Hearst men would herald
Griggs’ election as a concession to
Hearst and they do not want
Georgia to be placed in a wrong
light before the country.
“Who will be put up against
Griggs ?” was asked of a South
Georgia Parker man today.
“Henry G. Turner,” was the
answer. “Judge Turner is will-
ing to go to St. Louis if the dem
ocrats want him to. No man in
Georgia is more highly respected
and if he allows the use of his
name he will undoubedtly be elect
ed In my opinion the big four will
be Henry G. Turner. James R.
Gray, C. R. Pendleton and John
W. Maddox.”

Hightower & Talley Guarantee to
Refund Money if Hyomei Fails
to Cure the Worst Case
of Catarrh.
It is no uncommon thing to see
a medicine advertised as a “guar
anteed cure.” But investigation
usually shows that the guarantee
is made by some unknown firm,
hundreds of miles away.
The guarantee, though, that
comes with Hyomei, is entirely
different. It is made by Hightower
& Talley, one of the most reliable
drug firms in this section. They
advertise that if H j omei does not
cure the worst case of catarrh, they
will return the money without any
question or argument. No busi
ness house in Dalton has a better
reputation for square dealing than
Hightower & Talley, and when
they guantee that they will refund
the money if Hyomei fails to cure
catarrh, no one has any question
as to the agreement being lived up
to, both in the spirit and letter.
Hyomei is very easy and pleasant
to use. J ust breathe it through
the little inhaler that comes with
every outfit; every breath will
bring recovery that much the
nearer. It kills all the germs of
catarrhal troubles in the air pass
ages of the head, throat and lungs,
soothes and heals the irritated
mucus membrane, and is the only
natural cure for catarrh.
The complete outfit costs but
one dollar, and the extra bottles of
Hyomei can be obtained for fifty
cents. Do not let a slight catarrhal
trouble develop into one that may
be serious and chronic. Use Hy
omei at once, remembering that
you run no risk whatever when
you try Hyomei on Hightower &
Talley’s offer of “No cure, no pay.”
The sweet girl graduate will
now step right out to the middle of
the rostrum and settle any old prob
lem on earth—especially old bach-
elors.—Rome Tribune.
Judge A. W. Fite was in the
city the first of the week, holding
a motion court.
The Citizen asked him about
his alleged collusion with Hutch
ins in Bartow county against Lee.
Said he: “I am as innocent of
that charge as any man can be
I was at home sick from the time
I arrived theie from Dalton until
after the election. I did not see
Hutchins, and was as much sur
prised at the result in Bartow
county as I was at the result in
Whitfield county.”
Speaking of what he intended
to do in the future, the judge said:
“I do not intend to be put out of
the judgeship so long as my
friends want me to serve them.
When my opponents accord me a
race without opposition as the
other judges of the circuit have
had, then I will retire, but not
until then. So long as the people
of the circuit want me to serve
them I think it my duty to do so.”
His.idea of the election of judges
of the superior courts runs coun
ter to that advocated by The Cit
izen and nearly all of the leading
papers in the state. He thinks
the present system correct if
properly safeguarded by the Aus
tralian ballot system. He also
says the charges of fraud in this
and the Blue Ridge circuit have
been greatly exaggerated. “Still,”
says be,“there is no doubt but that
fraud was perpetrated in the Blue
Ridge circuit,” for says he, “I
notice the grand jury of Gilmer
county has found some true bills
against some election managers,
who, it is alleged, refused to let
some democrats vote in the pri
mary.”
When asked if he would run
for congress four years hence, he
said that was most too far off,
“and anyway,” said he, “the judge-
ship suits me very well.”
IN MEnORY OF JOHNNY BARNES.
And thus it is—in God’s own chosen
way,
In heaven’s appointed time—
In life’s old age and childhood’s happy
day,
In manhood’s strength and prime—
We’re summoned hence, nor can we turn
aside,
When speaks that stern Voice;
That fact has never been denied—
Frail mortal has no choice.
A few weeks since my pupil I met
With pleasant smile and cheer,—
And on his brow I thought was set
The seal of many a year
Of life. Young and full of health he
seemed,
And hope in him was bright;
Alas! how little then I dreamed
His spirit should so soon take flight.
Sad his fate! In that deep, dark wave—
“River of Death,” so aptly styled—'
He sank, and many friends tried to save—
To rescue him for mother and friend—
How bitter was the cup! How hard to
drink,
So full a share of sorrow;
And loving ones still fondly think
He may be “back tomorrow.”
But no—he’s gone, and never back will
come!
In the quiet grave he sleeps.
Thy will, O Lord, “Thy will be done!”
O comfort those who weep.
He’s only trod the path we all must
tread—
He’s only gone a step before;
May all, like him, the change not fear
nor dread—
But calmy glide to Eden’s shore.

Marietta, Ga., May 25.—There
is quite a deal of excitement in
local real estate circles occasioned
by the taking of options on valu
able real estate in and near
Marietta within the last few days,
and most every one is of the
opinion that the options, which
are taken in the name of D. F.
McClatcliey, Sr., is being pro
cured for the Louisville & Nash
ville railroad.
There has been a corps of en
gineers in this section for several
weeks and a number of lines have
been run through and near
Marietta, but much secrecy has
surrounded their movements un
til the information leaked out
within the last few days by the
recording of the options.
There has been three lines run
cn the east side of Marietta, just
touching the corporate limits of
that side, while there has been an
equal number run on the west
side of town. This is the side on
which the options have been se
cured which have deen placed on
record. The amount of property
of which options have been got
reaches to almost a hundred thou
sand dollars, and several of them
have not as yet been placed of
record.
From the property which has
been placed of record it would
indicate that the Louisville &
Nashville road intended leaving
the line of the Atlanta, Knoxville
& Northern road at a point near
Wetmore, Tenn., and cut across
to Dalton and then build from
that point to Atlanta, entering
Atlanta over the lines of the At
lanta & West Point road, utilizing
the property in West End upon
which options have been procured
by Mr. MeClatchey.
This would give the Louisville
& Nashville road a line from Cin
cinnati to Atlanta shorter than
the present one by thirty-five
miles, and avoid much of the steep
grades north of Blueridge on the
present route.—Atlanta Journal.

HELLO A BUSINESS FACTOR
An Interesting Visit By a Reporter
Yesterday of The Citizen
Office.
THE LOSS IS TREMENDOUS
Fire at Greenwood, S. C., De
stroys Half of the Business
Part of that City Also
Hello Central! St. Louis, please.
That’s as easily done as to ask
for Number 34 on Thornton ave
nue.
Dalton is now, and has been for
some time connected by long dis
tance phone, with the great throb
bing business world at most every
point of the compass.
The foregoing, however, is but
incidental to what is being done
in a local way by the Dalton Tel
ephone Company. It has been
only a few short years since the
company was organized with 34
subscribers. As a rule the Dalton
people observe the couplet of Pope:
“Be not the first by whom the new are
tried
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.”
That was the case in this in
stance but today the business and
social world is co-dependent on
the telephone. Several switch
boards have been put in and now
the subscribers number 220, with
many more applications and al
new switch board accommodating j St °5^’ r
350 is on the way. Supt. G. T. at ’
Chaffin with a corps of workmen
is stringing a copper return wire
to be used in lieu of the iron wire
now in service. This alone will
improve the service fully 75 per
cent, and while the Dalton system
ranks with the best the new ser
vice will be superb. Manager C.
D. McCutchen for the past several
months has given the company his
personal attention and to his ef
forts and interest Dalton is in
debted for these valued and
acceptable improvements. The
system has in reality been put in
entirely new, with the exception
of a few wires and poles. Dalton,
Mr. McCutchen, and the Tele
phone Exchange are to be con
gratulated.

Greenwood, S. C., May 25.—
Fully one-half of the business
portion of Greenwood was wiped

The property loss will approxi

Mrs. Annie Moseley, proprietor
of the Central hotel, lost her life
in the fire.
The fire originated, it is be^

owned by J. and J. M. Spigel,

Hightewer & Talley Have Such Faith
in This Great Dyspepsia Remedy
That They Guarantee it.
It is an unusual thing for a
druggist to sell a medicine under
a guarantee to refund the money if
it does not cure. Yet this is the
way Hightower & Talley, the pop*-
ular druggists, are selling Mi-o-na,
the standard dyspepsia remedy.
Never before have they had so
large a number of customers tell
them that a medicine has cured as
with Mi-o-na. People who a few
months ago looked like walking
skeletons have put on flesh and
today are ruddy and vigorous with
perfect digestion and good health,
soley due to the use of this remedy.
There is no longer any need of
anyone suffering or making their
friends suffer on account of dys-.
pepsia, for Mi-o-na can be relied
upon to cure. The percentage of
cures is so nearly one hnndred per
cent, that there is little risk to
Hightower & Talley in guarantee
ing to return the money if the
medicine does not cure, and they
stand ready to do so without any
questions.
Headaches, ail forms of indiges-*
tion, specks before the eyes, dizzy
feelings, poor sleep, lingingin the
ears and all forms of liver trouble
are cured by Mi-o-na, price 50c.
A few days’ treatment shows con
siderable gain in health and a cure
speedily follows.
These days are the best in the
whole year for the enjoyment of
good health. And Mi-o-na will
put you in such perfect condition
that you can enjoy every minute of
them.
Free Ticket to World’s Fair.
We call special attention to the
advertisement of Loveman & Sons
on another page of this issue.
Somebody is going to get a free
ticket to the World’s Fair, in
cluding Pullman and entrance to
the fair grounds. This is worth
while, and no doubt many will
make an effort to secure it.
