BOSTON TO CAIRO.
(From the Baton Time*:)
We publish io another column an ad
dress from the "Hew County Executive
Committee.” By what authority they
arrogate to themselves ibis office up-
pearatb not. By all doonments to which
srd bare been given access the county
of ‘torady” existeth only in the fertile
imaginations of our Cairo friends, nor
do we yet tee any good reason for its
future existence. The ‘,'New County
Executive Committee” expatiates at
length upon eighty years' servitude,
which they seem to think entitles them
to loctl independence now. It strikes
ns that they have been iu "mighty
good oompany” for these lamented
eighty years, and would not better
themselves by secession, nor does it ap.
pear that a majority of the citizens of
the proposed county desire to be out off
from old Thomas and Decatur. We
have only the "Executive Committee's”
word for it,
Several days ago the.Tns*s-EsTER-
PROT predicted that J. P. Brown of
Hawkinsville would be a candidate for
governor of Georgia. It seems that Mr.
Brown has mads op his mind to that
end, for the following dispatch wac sent
out yesterday,by Chat. H- Evans from
Atlanta under date of Feb. 23.
"Hon. J. Pope Brown is a candidate
for Govern nor of Georgia.
"What is termed as the "anti-ring, or
anti-corporation” element in Georgia
politics have been for sometime survey
ing the field and oonsideringSseveral
gentlemen with a view of selecting a
candidate for governor, and that the big
farmer from Pulaski will be acceptable
to them is generally conceded.
"Mr. Brown has been here sevoral
days attending the Southern Cotton As
sociation Convention and a-good many
of the leaders of the "anti-corporation"
element have been In the city conferring
with him, and in fact were in confer
ence until a late hour last night.
“Your correspondent, in an Interview
with with some of the leaders this morn
ing, was Ensured that Mr. Brown wcnld
be a candidate and given their support
One of these gentlemen said: "It the
politicians of the state will only put
their ear to the gn und, they will eatoli
the political current, for iliere is no
donbf that it it running to the cotton
fields of the big farmer in Pulaski ”
'•Hr. Brown, says these gentlemen,
will give ont his platform in detail in a
short timo, which will be in keeping
with his policy on the Railroad Commis
sion and in harmony with what is term-
edthe anti-ring” sentiment in Georgia,” '
and we certainly know
there are some of the best people in
opposed to "Grady
"Grady county’
oonnty.”
Several of their arguments appear un
sound to us, but we have uot space this
week t> dissect them, and the subject
has'bee quite exhaustively analyzed by
our contemporaries for the past several
days.

THE HOME.
No Christian and civilized community
can afford to show a hsppy go-lucky
look of oonoern for the youth of today;
tor. if to, the community will liave to
pay a terrible penalty of. financial bur
den and zoclal degradation in the to
morrow. There zhonld be severe child
labor and factory inspection laws. 11 is
very desirable that married women
should uot work in factories. The
prime dnty of the mao Is to work, to bo
the breadwinner; the priuio dnty of the
woman-ls to bo tliq mother, the house
wife. All of tariff and flnanoe sink in
to utter insignificance when compared
with tho tremendous, tho vital import
ance of trying to shape conditions so
that those two duties of the man and of
the woman can be fulfilled under rea
sonable circumstance,. If a race does
not havo plenty of children, or if the
child ran do not grownp, or if when they
grow up they are unhealthy in body and
stunted or vicious In mind, then that
no, Is decadent, and no heaping up of
wealth, no splendor of momentary ma
terial prosperity, can avail in any de
gree ai offsets —President's Message
Of MORE POINTS
Amongttw various institutions whose
happiness and success are affected by
the proposed new oonnty question is the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance do.
This institution lias had a splendid
career. It has enabled the farm-rs of
Thomas ccunty to obtain insurance on
their property at almost nothing. It has
been patronized by the beat people, and
time and'again has wired a good map or
a dependent widow from financial ruin.
This oompany is distinctly a Thomas
county institution, no property outside
the county is accepted for protection,
It is a home affair that every man
ooght to be proad of. It keeps at home
money that wonld otherwise go to the
northern money oenters and it enables
people to obtain protection that are not
financially able to obtain it in old line
companies
The Farmers' Mutual carries aboat
ISOHOOO in the district that wonld be
cut off if Grady oountr become* a
realized fact. The lott of thiz support
would so weaken the company as to
most probably end itz existence. Today
under the management of President
Spangler, and Seoretary.Robt Alexander,
the oompany is as solid as the prover
bial Book of Gibraltar. Haro then, is
another phase of the question that tho
pooptsof Gairo and Spanoo districts will
do wail to tsaarina.
Tho report of Gen. R. U. Thomason
on the Manassas maneuvers last Sep
tember has just been made public. As
was expected, the report severely rape
Gen. Barry, of the U S. army, for his
criticism of one of the Georgia provis
ional regiments.
Gen. Berry commanded the army to
which the Georgia regiment command
ed by Ool. Anderson was attached. Ool.
Anderson's. men were to badly worn
ont by the last day of the maneuvers
that they had to ask permission to pass
op the grand review. Gen. Barry criti
cized ‘the regiment for not getting in
tho review. Hiz criticism was sustained
by a number of outsido officers, and
seemed to have at least a good founda
tion.
The othor Georgia roglmont, of which
tho Thomuville Guards made a part,
was oommanded by Ool. T. N. Hop
kins, of Thomaivtlte, and they got into
the review without troub'e.
Daring the time of the "war” news
paper reports had it that Ool. Hopkins
had been supplanted in his oommand
by a regular army officer Gen. Thoma
son sustain) the denial that was made
just after the report got out. He pre
cents a letter from the brigade adjutant
general to Lleatenant Colonel Hopkins
Informing 1dm that the regular army
ollloer who had been assigned to his
regiment was sent for the sole purpoeo
of acting as a guide during the maneu
vers, und that the command of the
regtmont still remained with Lieuten
ant Colonel Hopkins.
General Thomason quotes the follow
ing extract from the report of Col. Hop
kins on the maneuvers:
“It was a pleasure to note the calm
ness and intelligence of tho officers and
men on the firing line. The detraining
record of this command was must ex
cellent.”
The general concludes his report with
a recommendation that tno State As
sembly and the general public ought to
give more attention to the military. He
cites the foot that the annonl appropria
tion of twenty to thirty thousand dol
lars it smaller proportionally than the
military appropriation of any other
State in the Union.
Gen. Thomason is receiring congratu
lations on the wisdom of his recommen
dations and the general excellence of
ilia report, though his attack on Gen..
Barry is not keatraUy ooantenanoed in
military circles. Such criticism of a
tuptrior officer it not military etiquette,
and oan hardly be hoped to accomplish
any good.

You Must
Sleep.
If you cannot, it is due to' an
irritated or congested state of
the brain, which wilt soon de-
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex
hausted vitality.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve buitder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev
ery nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as Dr. Miles' Nervine.
