To cleanse the system and break up colds, headaches, and fe vers without unpleasant after ef fects, use the delightful liquid laxa tive remedy, Syrup of Figs. Made by California Fig Syrup Cos, A Fearless Judge- Canton Advance. Judge Fite, of the Cherokee cir cuit, has positive ideas on all vital questions affecting the people and he does not fear to express them on the bench as well as in private con versation with his friends. We quoted some of his expressions last week in regard to tax-dodging and how to bring out all hidden proper ty. Last Friday he instructed the Bartow county grand jury to return true bills of indictment against the express agent at Cartersville for jugs of whiskey shipped there for delivery. Judge Fite generally sends violators of the laws against the selling of whisky in the coun ties prohibiting its sale to the chaiu gang instead of allowing them to pay fines and i.i this way he has done much to break up the blind tigers, but the jug trade through the exp.ess has therefore become a great public nuisance Tonight If your liver is out of order, causing Biliousness, Sick Headache, Heart bum, or Constipation, take a dose of Hood’s Pills On retiring, and tomorrow your di gestive organs will be regulated and ? r ou will be bright, active and ready or any kind of work.

Papers In That City Fear the Fili pinos’Attitude Means War, London, Jan. 28.—The paper here are impressed by the increas ing gravity of the position in the Philippines. They fear that the defiant, passionate attitude of the Filipinos renders war probable, if not imminent. The Times advises the United States to be prepared for a serious struggle. The Standard says that the pro clamation of a republic by the Malolos government is a gage of battle which the United States can hardly refuse to take up. The situation justifies a great deal of anxiety, as Gen. Otis’s forceis in no wise equal to the demands that must be made upon it if operations begin in earnest. The Standard compares the diffi culties in the Philippines with those Great Britain has frequently had to grapple with. It believes that the Americans will face them with something less than the first flush of enthusiasm, but with a steadfast determination to succeed. The Daily News is convinced that whatever happens, the task of pacification must be a long one. The Chronicle ridicules the new republic, which it says, if it is allow ed to run, will endure for about a month. The paper blames the United States for allowing the movement to gain such headway. It ascribes the growth of the move ment to politics in the Umteu States, which it deplores. ELECTRO SILICON Shines Surprisingly without Scratching. Sample sent if you say so. It's unlike all others.
