They mean that somewhere In the nerve fibres, somewhere in the braip cells, somewhere in the blood vessels that carry blood to the brain, something is radically wrong, and must be righted, or the end may be worse than death. To right it, take Dr. Miles’ Nervine. Some other symptoms of nerve trou ble are: Dizziness, Headache, Back ache, Worry, Fretfulness, Irritability, Melancholy, Lack of Ambition. They Indicate diseases which may lead to Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus’ Dance, Nervous Prostration, Paralysis, Insanity. Nothing will give such quick and last ing relief as Dr. Miles’ Nervine. “My husband had been sick for weeks, could’ not sit up to have Ills bed made. With all the medical help wo could get he continued to grow worse. Ho could neither sleep or eat.

S v . Hull’s Platform. Dahlofega, Ga., March 21, 4904. Asil am a candidate before tins .demoerabie white primary for the office of repuRsontative in the Gen erali Assembly of Georgia from Lumpkin county, I deem it advis- CGL. W. S. HUFF, Candidate for Iho Legislature. able at this time to give the vo ters some of my views on some of the great public questions that will come before the legislature for consideration. First of all, 1 am a democrat, All my people know where I stand on this matter, and to that end I bqlieye in white supremacy and a white man’s government. Be- liovring this, I shall, if elected, support a measure with all my ability, to divide between the Black and white races, the money appropriated to the common and public schools of this state in the proportion to the respective taxes paid by each race. This I deem is just and right, being founded upon the moral principle of rendering unto every man his dues. For nearly forty years has the burden of educating and civilizing the negro race rest ed upon t he shoulders of the white race of the south. With forty years of schooling, paid for by the white people of our state, it j would be only reasonable to sup- j pose that the negro race could) now take care of its own race and j civilization. { I further pledge myself, if elect- i ed, to introduce a bill amending the constitution of this state and endeavor to 1 lie best ofqpy abili ty lo push if to,its final passage, prohibiting pjiv person from hold ing an office in (bis state except a white person. It is true the 10th amendment to I lie constitut ion of tin 1 L . S., which is in thcjeo words, ‘'I'liu right of the citizens u! the 1 niter! Slates to vote shall not la' denied or abridged by the ■UpU<h1 or any state, on account of -ihoo, color or previous condi tion or servitude,’ dties not pro hibit. the states from passing any law denying the right to vote to the negroes, yet this right to vote, as held by Senator Wilson, otj Massachusetts, who \yp,- the author of the Ifit.li amendment, and pre viously in 18:20, inn speech to the const it litdonnl convention of Mass achusetts by Daniel Wobstor, the great champion of human liberty, and later, since the passage of said amendment, by Georgia’s great'luminary, Chief Justice Hi ram Warner, one of the ablest justices who lias ever adorned Georgia's Supreme bench, in a very able opinion in the 89th Ga. I report, written in 1809, that the right to hold office was left with the respective states to say who should be eligible to bold the pub lic offices. The passage of the above pro posed laws would serve in a great measure to solve the negro prob- i lem and to remove this hideous nightmare of negro domination ! which is continuously Haunted in our faces by a partisan Republi can press, v\liose prayer lias al ways been to see black heels on white necks, and a president who heralds it to the world that he con siders an Alabama negro the so cial equal of himself and family. Since a negro votes under the constitution of the United States and holds an office under the pro visions of the constitution of the state of Georgia, which provision allowing them to hold office in the constitution of 1877 is identically in substance, in the same words as in the constitution of 18(18, which was saddled upon the people of Georgia by northern carpet-bag gers and the newly franchised ne groes, aided and encouraged by the presence of federal soldiers. I call upon the people of Lumpkin county and the entire state to as sert, their rights by making this class ineligible to hold office. If this amendment to the con stitution was passed and ratified by the people of Georgia it would be contrary to law and unconsti tutional for the president of the United States to fill the offices in the district, and circuit courts of the United States in this state and the custom offices and post offices with any one except a wlyjte per son. I believe that every confederate \ soldier, who served a reasonable time during the terrible war be tween the states from 1861 to ! 1865, and who has an honorable ! discharge, should have a ]>ension ; paid him by the state of Georgia. ! The best days of his young man- : hood were given to the service of his state, fighting for .the princi ples of right, and it is but just that the state should now, in the full bloom of its prosperity, ren der to him a full measure of its assistance in his old age. His de pendent widow should also not be neglected, and I believe the state should pension her. Under the law as it now stands, no confeder ate widow who was not married to the soldier, prior to April 1865, can draw a pension, thereby work ing hardship and injustice to the girl of that time, who saw the sweet-heart of her youth don the honored grey uniform, shoulder his musket and march out to four Dealer in General Merchandise. Call and See my Spring Goods. years of struggle and hardship, and all through the four years she waited his return from seryjye—to see him return wounded and,dis eased, his home and property de stroyed, and his fireside menaced by the newly,enfranchised, ignor ant negro, and carpet'hogger and scalawag, she renewed-to him her plighted troth, became his wife. And; they together have buiilded tlje,homes, have raised tin-* sons and daughters, who have made Georgia tire empire state of the South, indeed and in truth. 1 therefore believe that it would bei but justice to grant a peps ion t.o’ all widows of confederate .soldiers who were married to tlge .soldier prior to x.he year 3875, ,*Jiu« be lieving, if elected, will support « measure of this kind. I believe that the .pensions of confederate soldiers, aud widows of confederate soldiers, should be paid to them quarterly instead of annually. The mrSney is how paid to them annually, in mid .winter. To pay il. to them quar terly would divide it so they could gut. their money at four jeasons of theyeai’R in the cold winter a fourth, 111 the spring a fourth, in the hard dull season of summer a fourth and in the fall a fourth, when they need it most to buy the necessary comforts to prepare them for the hard eold season of winter. If elected, these arc some of the measures 1 will advocate, and push to the ulipugt of my ability, believing them to be right and tp the best interest of the state. On all other .measures T shall act as a democrat, taking the whole of the democratic doctrine as my platform, 1 shall stand on every plank of it. The demo cratic doctrine being the shield and safe guard of human liberty and state’s rights. I am very respectfully yours, W. S. Huff. The New Bird Law. The law prohibiting the killing of inscctiverons birds in Georgia, passed at ihe session of the legisla ture last summer, went into effect January .1. The birds that come under this head are the woodpeckers of every kind, mocking birds, blue jays, robins, sparrow hawks, screech owls, cranes, egrets, herons and bull bats. All of these birds, es pecially the bull bat, aro almost exclusively inscctiverons, aud for this reason the legislature was re quested lo pass a law protecting them. The birds that are not protected under this law are the crow, blacks bird, rice bird, field larks, chicken hawks, horned owls and English spa rrows. I He Didn’t Kiss the Cook.
