Governor Terrell returned from
the World’s Fair u few days ago.
He says that there is only ono ex
hibit in the Mines building that
compares with ours and this is the
Colorado display. When we con
sider, says the governor, that
Georgia’s collection of marbles
and minerals cost between seven
and eight thousand dollars and
that Colorado spent $75,000, our
success is very gratifying.
Can a negro soldier draw a pen
sion from the state of Georgia?
That is the qustion which Pension
Commissioner Lindsay is trying to
settle. The problem comes up
from Emanuel county. A free
negro went to tho war voluntarily
as a member of Company K.
Twenty-eighth Georgia, and play
ed the fife until “Johnston quit.”
He was a soldier in the full sense,
bat Commissioner Lindsay bas
written to Emanuel for all tho
facts, whether he was regularly
enrolled, drew pay, etc. The ne
gro is now old and helpless and an
effort is being made to get a pen
sion for him.
There is a republican by tho
name of Hon. John M. Ashley, of
Dawson county, who is running
for congress in the 9th district.
We do not know anything of
this gentleman, except, we are told
that ho moved into this district
from Ohio somo two or three years
ago, and owns a good deal of props
orty in Lumpkin and Dawson
counties.
Wo do not suppose he expects
to be elected, because the old 9th
is safely democratic. Wo suppose
he is making tho race to ingratiate
himself with the Republican party,
so that in case tho republican
presidential candidates are elected
in November, that ho “will be tak
en care of” by the Republican ad
ministration. We all know that
Col. H. P. Far row was not recog
nized by the nationcl republican
party to any appreciable extent
until he van for congress several
years ago, and received a pretty
respectablo voto, too. Ho rnado
some pretty warm speeches, and
showed himself to bo a man of
more than ordinary ability. He
is a fine campaigner, and a good
hustler, and since then he has been
made one of the “Republican boss-
a cs” of Georgia, and has been given
a lucrative position—been ap
pointed postmaster of the thriving,
growing and progressive city of
Gainesville. We presume Mr.
Ashley is making the race to show
his ability as a campaigner, and
thereby to gain recognition at tho
hands of the national republican
party.
He will certainly not bo elected,
and no one candidacy seriously at
all. The Democratic nominee,
Hon. Tom Bell, will no doubt lie
the next congressman from this
district.— Jackson Herald.

seem to think that the democrats

of the recent lynchings in Georgia,
If they are no hotter friends to the

The governor has offered a re

He was under sentence to be hang

Scott, tho negro at Fittsgerald,
who murdered J. A. Bishop, was
called away this week by a higher
court before the state bad to go to
the trouble or expense of calling

Dr. Miles’ remedies cure by
their soothing, nourishing,

and weakening the nerves as
would be the case if these drugs
were used.
For this reason Dr. Milesf
Anti-Pain Pills are universally
considered the best pain remedy
“I have Buffered for 26 years with
■evere pains in my head, heart and
back, and have tried everything I
could get and could not find any relief
until I got a box of Dr. Miles’ Anti-
Pain Pills. I suffered as long as 13
hours at a time with such never*
pains that I feared I would lose my
mind. The Anti-Pain Pills gave m*
relief In from 10 to 20 minutes. I (Jo
not have to use Morphine any more.
