The to tal amount to be disbursed by the stato in this way amounts to nearly $1,000,000. Editor Nugget: 1 have just, read tho announce ment of Hon. E. W. Watkins for congress. While 1 am not per sonally acquainted with, and know him only by his record in tho legislature, yet in his platform 1 am of tho opinion, he has struck the key note of tho race problem, l'hut is, tho separation of the race. Wo would not advo cate the deportment of the old slaves, who were faithful during tho war, but since tho war there hub sprung up a now race born in freedom, and with a little edu> cation, think themselves as good, or belter than tho white man and want to hold office, ite. Tho U. S. congress never made a greater blunder than putting the ballot in the hands of tho negroes and ah lowing them to hold office; this is a white tmiu’s government, and the superior rule must rule. Let the negro rule a negro but never let a negro try to rule a \yhite mau. As Mr. Watkins says, “Any man who thinks and looks ahead can see nothing but trouble in try ing to keep two separate and dis tinct races in harmony together, and the only rational solution of the question is separation.” Many of us old citizens can remember when the Indians had to give up these mountains and gold fields to the white man, because the white race is superior. The government, in trying to humillitate the south, has passed laws disgraceful to every white citizen of the United States, and I think the time is ripe to repeal tho most obnoxious amendments to the constitution. Equality of the two races in the south is an utter impossibility. I do not care how highly a negro is educated he can not change his skiu, and will have to bow in humble submission to the rule of tho white man or leave the country. A president may in- Ed. NuGgkt: I thought while the year 190 was going out, and the new year, 1901 coming in and going to bring an election of some one to fill ev ery office from president on down to malitia district bailiffs, that I would make a suggestion or two. But the one 1 am going to dwell on is our representative on down. As a father, and in fact every school boy in the county can sec the need of a dry ticket. I mean a prohibition race, such as our old friend Joseph Brown run for treasurer. The people know him and the kind of a race he made. Now, Mr. Editor, why can’t the chairman of the democratic party call a mass meeting through both papers and not only say come, but request all the people in the grand old county of Lumpkin to meet in the court house on a day set a part and see what can be done, and I fully believe that there will not a single vote be cast against a prohibition election. We have all seen the evil of using li quor in elections, and will see more and more unless the people come forward and yote it down in a mass meeting. Some will say that it doesn’t hurt me. But good people, let me say that it hurts us all, from the greatest to the least. We see the evil of it every day, and especially before each elecs tion. And just after it is a calm after a storm sure enough. It is too bad on the young and rising generation. As 1 said, let the good people, both democrats and republicans join in and put! down treating and carrying the j elections in a jug, as some say. For our sake, for the sake of our children, let us join hand in hand and put it out of the election one time. Let’s have 1004 a dry po litical year for Lumpkin county, and other counties will see tho good that will follow. We might have just three days court instead of six, and that time would not be taken up on whiskey and pistol cases. Voter. News comes from Gaincsvil'o that a posse are in pursuit of two desperate brothers, who use to re side in Hall coiii’ty named Ar mour. They left for Alabama some time aero on account of some evil doing. There it is said they killed several negroes and large rewards arc offered for them. They carry loaded guns and arc ready for trouble at any time. They burglarized houses in Banks county some few days ago and shot and fatally wounded Mr. Y. Pat terson, and it is supposed that it was these young men who looted tho store of Mr. Grant at Alta, and they may be the parties who broke into Parks & Bowens’ store this week in Lumpkin county.

Eight months ago I was so ill that I was compelled to lieor sit clown nearly all the time. My stomach was so weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat and lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pro nounced it Bright’s disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to uie what they called it and I had no de sire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if l had ever tried Wino of Cardui. I told her J had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life.
