Jan. 10th. 1901. A. W. FoRDHAM. Sheriff. It is aaiil to be no hot and dry out in Kansas that the lightning-bugs are setting tlie woods afire. It is &aiJ that McKinley amt Long are at odd*. Thi* doesn’t worry us in the least—we rather like it. The statu politicians are idling fuel around the political pot and it has already begun to boil all around tbe edges. The Atlanta Journal “lores the Ohio platform for what it didn’t hay.” We are free to confess that the same affection strikes. The editor of the Way cross Her aid has been praying recently. It is to be hoped that his invocation may be fully answered. We know an edi tor, however, wuo is alwavs preying. And now tbe post helium scrib blers on llie battle of Gettysburg are trying to rob Gen. Pickett ol the glory of bis famous charge in that great carnage. Jeewbi/.t What next ? Mr. Hook is now tbe controlling editor and factor of tbe Augusta Chronicle, and (veil. Hooker, of Mis sissippi, bus been elected to the 57th congress. Tills is a big time for Hooks and Hookers. That Democratic lion—lion. Hen ry G. Turin r—is ladngiirgad hi some quarters for^ho next gubernatorial nomination.- lie would make a great Governor, but we doubt Ins allowing tbe use of his name. Mrs. W. H. Felton, wife of her husband, has some pretty clear views upon the Democratic situation, ob served from a national standpoint. Her articles in the Atlanta Journal fairly bristle with facts. The effort being male to sacrifice Bilim iSr Hilly upon the gubernatorial all'll- in order that aspiring statemen and pot-hunters of the Eleventh Dis trict may contest lor his congression al boots will hardly succeed. Hill Hrauliv is no fool. Editor Freeman nominates Opt. D. G. Purse, of Savannah, for Gov ernor Getting so anybody can nom inate governors these days.— Ways cross Journal. If bis name signifies anything he ought to be a popular candidate. Hut be is not a loug Purse by a mlllsiie. Home of onr exchanges seem to think that the next chief executive of Georgia is t.o lie tbe governor of either south Georgia or north Geor gia.—Atlanta Journal. According to tbe record since tbe good old day s of Col. Jim Oglethorpe, he is mighty apt to- bo governor of north Georgia. Old Chairman Jones of the- Nation al Democratic committee nails as false the rumor that the headquarters ot that committee are to bo trans ferred to wicked Chicago. It seems to make little differenoe where tbe headquarter* are,-as the party has been run apparently from the hind quarters for the past six year*. South Georgia will furnish the next governor. That’s a certainty. —Brunswick Timee-Cail. The above item was evidently written ‘‘just to fill up.” But the fact remains that South Georgia is tbe most intensely Democratic half of the State and never gets anything. Sad but true. Admiral Schley’s Demand. Tlie so-called “History of the Uni ted States Navy” which a man named Maelay has written will probably be of small account in the future, but it has accomplished one result which tliej country will ac cept with gratitude. It has opened the way to a settlement of the long- mooted question as to the merits of the services of Admirals Sampson and Schley in the war with Spain. The author of this alleged history attacks Schley severely and brings very grave charges against him. He continues a dispute which lias been waged ever since the naval battle off Santingo, a dispute of which the oountry has grown sick and which it will Iw glad to have settled. The announcement tlmt Admiral Schley has determined to ask for a court of enquiry is most welcome. There are enough living witness to sotUe every contested point in the oase, and a full and fair enquiry ahould make it as plain as day whether there is any truth in the charges against Schley or not; whether he is the real iiero of the Santiago battle, or played the dis creditable part in it which his critics have attributed to him. The radical difference of opinion as to Suhiey’s conduct in that fight is one of the most remarkable things in history. He is regarded oy the great majority of civilians as the man who deserves the chief credit for the sweeping victory that destroyed Cervera’s fleet, and as the victim of a conspiracy in the navy depart ment to rob him of the honors which are justly hi*. On the other hand, the officers of the navv are almost unanimously against him and not one of thym has spoken in his defense against the very'allegations which involves his capacity as an officer and his charac ter as a man. If Admiral Schley has been slan dered he should be vindicated and his accusers thrown into disgrace. If he failed to do his duty aud ac tually tried to get out of the fight, the fact should he established. The proposed enquiry will settle matter oue way or the other. Admiral Schley shows confidence in the justice of his cause hv de manding the fullest investigatjpn, and we hope that it may result in his complete vindication.—Atlanta Journal. A few weeks ago. according to the Apalachicola Times, Mr. Joseph Singaree, who was out fishing, was painfully stnng by a blood thirsty stingaree. It is pre sumed that as soon as ho eouM get to it Mr. Singaree | ut himself on the outside of a port wine sangaree, or perhaps a brandy smaslmreo, or tail ing both, a right straight whiskeyree.

Eighteen months’ ago. you will remember you fitted a truss on me and gave me full directions for Self Hygienic Treatment. Tbe rupture bad been giv ing me untold trouble for a year. It inis not troubled me a day since I took tbe treatment. Yours gratefully, R. A. Coiiuell, Ex-representative Decatur County, The above is only one of a vast num ber of the lestimonials I have received since I mastered this branch of the drug business. Some of my most remarkable cures have been right here m the city of Bain bridge. Will this proces cure all cases? • I believe it will. . Have I made any failures ? Many. Why ? Because it is theunalterable determin ation of some people never to take am- treatment which,.-is .uot saturated with humbug aud. snperstitipn and robbery. My process is in accord with the phi losophy of common, sense and natural law. But. it, costs effort, abd -elf-deni-d and perseverance; wheref, re mans- give up the treatment before it has had a fair trial.
