orders of the overseer us unrea¬

MR. SIMMONS ANNOUNCES.
The Distinguished Chief Justice is
Candidate for Re-election.
To the Democratic voters
ti orgia :
The Democratic executive
committee having met and order¬
ed a primary to be held on the
20th of April, next, I hereby an¬
nounce my c . ndidacy for chief
justice of the supreme court to
succeed myself <>n January 1,
1902, when mv present term ex-
pi res. l had hoped that I would
Lave no opposition for the office
and that you would pay me
great, compliment of an i nanii-
nous election as you did six years
But I regret to say that my
will not be realized as op¬
has been announce 1.
I have served you faithfully
and to the best of my ability for
more than twenty-fiv»» years. My
record on the superior and su-
prnme bettch is embraced in fiftv-
five volumes of the Georgia re-
I orts, from the G3d to the 118th,
inclusive. Any one can read it
1 am able and willing to serve
you another term, G<>d willing.
My official duties take all the
time I have. It will, therefore,
tie impossible for me to make a
canvass of the state, if such r a
course were permissible for such
a high judicial office, Neither
will I have time to write personal
fitters to mv nmnv frienfis who
have supported me so generously
in the past, I therefore make
this announcement to you through
the press.
If you see proper to elect me, I
shall esteem it the crowning “lory
of a long lif<‘, the greater part of
which has been devoted to your
st-rvice If you think my oppo-
neut is the iietter qualified for the
high office I will bow cheerfully
to your decision.

An Absurd Idea.
It’s an absurd idea some people
have that its the duty of a country
editor to tackle every two sided
question that bobs up and tight
other peopl is battles for nothing.
Its the editor’s duty to tackle
just such questions sis he may see
fit, and at the same time open his
columns to all other reasonable
men to do the same thing over
their own signatures. The man
who is unwilling, to do this has
no right to criticise.—Georgetewn
Tribune.

Mr- Parrish Was Murderously
Attacked by J. L. Bell at Quest.
Wlnle Mr. A. A. Danish was
seated at his supper table at
Guest, in Colquitt county, last
Friday night, some one came up
to his gate and fired a pistol five
limes, which was followed by a
good deal of cursing. Hi at once
went out to investigate and
found J. L. Bell, the overseer on
c a ,q er ’ s plantation, to be the
guilty party. Mr. Parrish de¬
manded t<> know what he n emit
and Bell apologized, saying tint
he was drinking and didn’t know
what lie was
Bell left and a little later Mr.
Parrish had occasion tv) go to the
commisaary. He saw Bell and
another man named Parker com-
ing toward him and skipped to
see what was wanted, Bell
gan abusing him in the vilest
manner. Mr. Parrish protested
againet this and Bell began shout-
ing at him at close range. But
f ( r the fact that it was dark Mr.
Parrish might have been killed.
He returned the fire as quickly
possible.'shooting Pell near the
hnee and Larker in the foot, in-
fllcting slight wounds.
Mr. Parrish came over Mon¬
day and was congratulated by his
many friends on his narrow es¬
cape from death.
A Credit to the Road.
The South Georgia road’s new
road at Adel, recently completed
by Contractor W. 8. Lane is a
handsome and commodious build-
ing and is a credit to the man¬
agement of the road. The Adel
people arc much pleased that
thev have ' secured the terminus
of the road and the town has
took on new growth and life since
this became an assured fact.
Adel claims to be the be 5 t long
cotton market in the state, al¬
though a considerable amount of
short cotton will be planted this
season.—Quitman Free Press.
Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.
Pneumonia is too dangerous a
disease for any.me to attempt to
doctor himself, although he may
li’JVfc the proper remedies at hand.
A physi-tan should always be
called. It should be borne in
min, however, that pneumonia
always results from a cold or from
an attack of the grip, and that by
Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy the threatened attack of
may b. warded off.

sictans in the treatment of pneu-
with the best results. Dr.
W • J. -mith, of Sanders, Ala.,
who is a.so a druggist, says of it:
