ITon. J. S. Turner, Gen. Clement A.
Evans and Jlon. Tom Eason, our pop
ular and efficient State Board of Prison
Commissioners,are to be congratulated
upon tile successful results of their
management for the lirst twelve
months of the new system.
The year which was asked for the
trial of the new convict lease system
in the stale came to a close April 1st,
and the report of the year shows that
the new system has brought into the
treasury $200,389.1:1, not including a
clear profit of $5,000 on the prison
Of this amount
Baking Powder
The strongest, purest, most efficient and
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical; indispens
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food.
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, un
healthful articles of food? There is no
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.
farm at Milledgeville.
$120,000 was appropriated ro meet tlie
expenses of the department, although
not all of this appropriation is needed,
leaving at the lowest figure a profit to
the state of $85,000 in a year as a re
sult of its experiment.
Under the old lease system by which
the state practically sold the convicts,
labor and all, to the lessees, the annual
profit amounted to $10,000 and seldom
exceedeu $12,000.
The close of the year for the new
system is a matter of gratification to
the members of the Prison Commis
si i i,who with nun e.m> d s idvantages
to face, have tried to make the bi st
showing possible.
Congressman Howard from Alabama.
Washington, Feb. 4th, 1899.
Pe-ru-na Drug Jl’f’g Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen—I have taken Pe-ru-na
now for two weeks, and find I am very
much relieved. I feel that my cure will
be permanent. I have also taken it for
la grippe, and I take pleasuro in recom
mending Pe-ru-na as an excellent rem
edy to aU fellow sufferers.
Very Respectfully, SI. W. Howard.
Congressman Howard’s home address
is Fort Payne, Ala.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost om
nipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso
lute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to enre colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Address Dr. Hartman, Co
lumbus, O., for a free catarrh book. •
Hon.Wm. Youngblood, Auditor for the
Interior.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 10,1898.
Pe-ru-na Drug MTg Co, Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen—I’ve often heard of your
great medicine and have persuaded my
wife, who has been much of a sufferer
from catarrh, to try Pe-ru-na, and after
using one bottle she has wonderfully
improved. It has proved all you have
claimed for it, and I take pleasure in
recommending it to anyone who is af
flicted with catarrh. Yours,
Wm. Youngblood,
Auditor for the Interior.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly
becoming a national curse. An un
doubted remedy has been discovered
by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the past
forty years. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh in
all stages and phases. There is no rem
edy.that can be substituted.
Tbe experiment, is-
taken to mean, by all that the lease
system has come to stay, not only be
cause it has proved a source of greater
profit than tbe old system, but because
it is more humane toward the convicts.
As is well known, the system which
went on trial last April took the actual
control of tbe convicts out of the
hands of the lessees, the state retain
ing this control by tbe employment of
guards not under the direction of the
lessees only in a business way. The
men are clothed and fed by the state,
and all the lessees have to do is topoint
out the work for the convicts to en
gage in.

The program which was issued a few
days ago is one of file best that has

years.
The program was arranged during a
recent visit to General George Moor

The program is as follows:—

Alum is used in many baking powders because it makes
them cheap. It costs less than two cents a pound.
Alum is a corrosive poison. Think of feeding it to chil

It had been my happy privilege to
know this estimable lady several years,

vinced that life to all would he wortli

er’s attention being called today to a
suggestion of himself as a Vice Presi
dential candidate, made the following
statement;
“I do not think that my name has
ever been mentioned in that connection
except as very many other gentlemen
have been referred to, simply in the
way of personal compliment. I have ap
preciated these flattering allusions to
myself, but never regarded them as at
all serious or other than the kind ex
pressions of partial friends.
“The greatest ambition of my life
has already been realized. I have seen
those who were Confederate soldiers
fight under the Stars and Stripes
against foreign foes as soldiers of the
United States. I have seen the masses
of the people of all the Sonthern states
eagerly and earnestly offer their ser
vices to fight in the conntry’s cause,
and have seen them thus become par
ticipants in tbe events which have sud
denly made ours the leading among the
great powers of the world, and opened
avenues which enable us to establish
the most favorable commercial rela
tion's with countries containing nearly
one-third the population. I have seen
cordial relations, which existed during
the first 70 years of our' government,
re-established beta een the people of all
sections of onr country, and in all this I
believe I see the dawn of a new pros-

GREAT REVIVAL.
The most far-reaehing and effectual
effort for the salvation of soula which
has been made in Bockmart in many
years is the series of revival meetings
now being conducted at the Methodist
church by Bev. T. B. McCarty and Mr.
Dnuaway, of Cedartown, assisted by
the pastor and resident ministers. The
interest is increasing wonderfully,
scores flock to the altar during each
service, and annmber have already been
saved. Three services are held each
day, the morning service at Biedmont
Institute and afternoon and evening
services at the church. The interest
manifested by the students is intensely
earnest, and the influence of the meet
ings is beginning to take hold not only
of the town, but of the surrounding
country;—Bockmart Slate.
