Christmas is supposed to be a “Christian holiday.” Why not have it observed as such ?

Tills is one of Georgia’s most useful and de serving educational institutions, and Mr. Swann, could not have placed ids benefaction more wisely. The groat question, Docs the Constitution follow the ilag ? is now being argued before the United States Supreme Court. It will determine the status of Porto Rico and the Philippines, and is one of the most important ques tions ever brought before the court. Senator Clay’s great speech in the Senate last week against the ship subsidy bill marks him as one of the leaders of that body, and Georgia is proud of him. The cartoonists of the opposition press have recognized his leadership by paying him their “delicate compliments.” Stove Olay is a “briclt. ” At Rockport, Ind., a white man was waylaid and murdered Sat urday night by a couple of ne groes, who were promptly lynched by art infuriated mob,mul another “suspect” sliared the same fate on the following night. These same negroes were suspected' of being implicated in a number of robberies, and the Indiana mob gave notice that they would run down and lynch any burglars in future. It seems to us that In diana is likely to carry the lynch ing business to extremes! Governor Candler last week appointed Hon. G. Gunby Jor dan, of Columbus, to succeed Hon. T. C. Crenshaw as State Railroad Commissioner on the expiration of tho latter’s term of office Oct. 16th, 1901, making the appointment now in order that it might be confirmed by the Sen ate. Mr. Crenshaw took Mr. Jor dan’s place on the Commission six years ago under appointment of Governor Atkinson, and lias made an excellent official. Mr Jordan is one of the best Com missioners the state lias ever had, and his re-appointment gives general satisfaction. President McKinley lias ap pointed Hon. Judson 0. Clements to succeed himself on the Inter state Commerce Commission, in which lie lias rendered such ex cellent service for the past six years. The appointment is an excellent one, and President Mc Kinley receives for it the grate ful appreciation of the South— and of Georgia especially. Mr. Clements served this district in Congress with distinction for a number of years, and the “bloody Seventh” never had a more able or worthy Representative. His retention on the Interstate Com merce Commission is very grati fying to his host of personal friends throughout tiiis section.

Mc Carty presiding at the meeting. Rev. G. \V. Groce, a consecrated local preacher, has been placed in charge or the church lor the year, and services will be held every Sun day at 11 a. m. and 7 p. in., with prayer meeting every Thursday eve ning.

Hughes.as stew ards. The new church starts out with a large and earnest membership, in a handsome new building, and with bright prospeots for usefulness, j FOIl THE SOUTH TO HE MEMBER. This year's cottun crop of the south, worth on the farms about $-150,000,000, will be worth live ur six limes as much by the time it readies all its con sumers after manipulation by 105,- 000,000 spindles. Of those spindles the south operates but 0,000,000, Rais ing three-fourths of the supply of raw cotton In the world, the south manufactures about one-sixth of its crop. There is n wonderful future for cotton nmuufuntiiring in the south. Southern Irun interests have been givenlrenewed vigor during the past month, and work in the coal mines is being pushed to the utmost, their oui- put finding a ready market at home and nbrpad. Southern railroads are orowded with trafllc, and through them world wide financial influences are becoming more closely identified with Southern development, Every cotton mill built In the south, every furnace blown in, every mine opened, means employment for a greater number of persons, a larger market for agricultural products and a greater share In the commerce of the couhtry, which Is destined to ex pand mightily with the construction of an Isthmian canal and the enlarge ment of American shipping facilities. —Manufacturers' Record. Keep tho bowels active if you would prosorvo your bonltli. A doso of Priokly Ash Bitters now and then does this to perfection. T. F. Burbank. She—“If you had no idea wbou v 0 oould got married, why did'you proposo to mo?" “To tell tho truth, dailiog, I had no idea you would acoopt mo.” Many persons have had the expe- rieuce of Mr. Peter Sherman, of North Stratford, N. H., who says: -‘For years I suffered torture from chronic indigestion,but Ivodol Dyspepsia Cure made a well man of me.” It digests what you eat and is a certain cure for dyspepsia and every form of stomach trouble. It gives relief at once even in the worst cases, and can’t help but do you good. E. Bradford. “A Burnt Child Dreads the Ffre ” You have been ill. Oh, the weary, dreary days of illness and that depressing tired feeling. Nauseous med icines taken copiously. You dread to Hunk of it. Be noise after this. Half teaspoonful doses of Hood's Sarsaparilla •colli keep your blood pure, bright clean and wholesome, and half the battle with disease is won. It puts the dreaded enemy to rout as nothing else can. After the Grip—"After the grip I was weak, suffered from catarrh and was run down. In a week after I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla I felt stronger. It relieved the catarrh and gave me an appetite.” John Roberts, Ionia, Mich. 3{oct& SaMab W. L. Douglass, the shoe manufac turer, employs 1,200 hands in the fao- tory at Brockton, Mass., and pays out $17,433 in wages each week. The an nual business amounts to $3,000,000, all of which Mr. Douglass says is due to newspaper advcrtising.-Fourth Estate, Look at your tongue. Is it coated ? Then you have a bad taste in your mouth every morning. Your appetite is poor, and food dis tresses you. You have frequent headaches and are often dizzy. Your stomach is weak and your bowels are always constipated. There’s an old and re liable cure: Don’t take a cathartic dose and then stop. Bet ter take a laxative dose each night, just enough to cause one good free move ment the day following. You feel better the very next day. Your appetite returns, your dyspepsia is cured, your headaches pass away, your tongue clears up, your liver acts well, and your bowels no longer give you trouble. , Price, 25 cents.
