The defect '(':ame'_thro‘ug'h a decision of the Supreme Court in effect that the Pure Food and Drug Act did not cover false claims regarding the cirative properties of medicines and that manufactur ers complied with the law in.stating merely the ingredients of their goods. The Sherley bill amends the law so as to provide that drugs shall be held “mishranded if the package or label shall bear any state ment, design or device regarding the curative or-therapeutic effect of such article whieh is false and fraudulent.” 4 ‘ 3 W”*————M 1 Stick To The Agreement. The farmérs é}iduld make every effort to stand by the Agricultur al Society’s efforts to control the price of cotton picking. The price agreed upon is fair and good wages can be earned by it. With a short crop and late season it will be possible to pick the entire first crop at 30ct per 100 at a saving of from $lO,OOO to $20,000. Stick to the agreement, Wall Wins for Solicitor-General; P ® 0 'Ghas. R. Crisp Elected Congressman Hon. Joseph B. Wall, of this city, triumphed over Max E.

He is one of the leading lawyers of the Fitz gerald bar, and his popularity throughout the Circuit is evidenced by the large vote he polled. : ; The election of Judge Charles R. Crisp to Congress is indicated by the complete returns from fifteen counties of this, the Third District. Judge Crisp’s. plurality is estimated 'at approximately 1700. He carried eight counties—Sumter, Schley, Ben Hill, Lee, Macon, Randolph, Stewart and Webster, and lost Crisp county by .only sixteen votes and Quitman by thirty-six votes.

Hemminger Unity Lodge No. 86 still con tinues to hold meetings every regular meeting night, and there is hardly a meeting night but that they receive a new application, or put on some Kank work, Ata meeting of the Lodge keld last Thursday evening resolutions were adopted by the Lodge in regard to Bro. Heminger’s removal from the city, and as to his faithfulness and efficiency in the Lodge. We give same below. Pythians of Georgia should take an added in terest in the Order from the fact that the Supreme Chancellor, Thos, J. Carling of Macon, is a Georgian and one of the most zealous Knights that the Order has ever known. ' R. L. King, K. of R. & S. Whereas, Brother T. F, Hemin ger, has removed his resdecce. from Fitzgerald, and Whereas he has always been so faithful and true to Unity Lodge No, 86, both in and out of the Lodge Room, and wishing to express to him in a small measure our appreciation of this service, Therefore, Be it resolved: that, in his go ing away, we feel that we have lost one of our very best Knights and faithful woikers, and his efficiency in Rank work will be greatly missed and his_ place hard to fill. We unhesitatingly say that but for his zeolousness, our Lodge would perhaps still be: in a nermal condition, whereas, in stead it is in a flourishing condi tion, and with his example before us, we will strive to keep the good work up and soon place Unity Lodge in the Front rank both as to membership and efficiercy. Resolved furtker that this reso lution be spread upon our minutes and a copy furnished Brother Heminger, also a copy to the Leader-Enterprise for publication. A. H. Thurmond, =g e TOTane Committee.
