Mr. James McCarty is author
ized to solicit and make contracts
for advertising, job printing and

The republican newspapers and
stump-speakers have sought in vain
for some blemish or dark spot in
the past life or character of W. J.
Bryan.
Columbus, Ga., received a train
load, twenty-two cars, of Texas
oats last week. This is the first
solid train-load of oats received in
the state this year.
More than 3000 people were kill
ed and drowned by the storm in
Texas last week, thousands of
homes were destroyed, and millions
of hogs, sheep and cattle perished.
The disastrous storms in Louis
ana and Texas will help to raise
the price of what cotton is made,
but not enough to repair the dam
ages to life and property that was
made by the storm’s fury.
Li Hung Chang, the Chinese
liar, says he wants to do as the
powers intimate, but the empress
will not let him. Li Hung Chang
seems to be between the devil and
the deep blue sea.
Women of the highest social
standing are among the daily vis
itors to the cell of Powers, the con
victed accomplice in the Goebel
murder. The sympathetic nature
of woman will lead her to the grave.
There are some capitalists in
England who still have an idea
that old Confederate bonds will be
puid by the United States govern
ment some day. They have sev
eral millions of these bonds which
they guard with zealous care.
At noon last Monday Gen. Joe
Wheeler, commander of the depart
ment of the lakes in the United
States army, formerly of the Con
federate States army, ceased to be
an otlicer in the army, having
reached (lie age of 64, the limit for
army service.
When the American troops evac
uate the Chinese capitol, in the
face of the confirmed reports of
rapine and murder perpetrated up
on male and female missionaries,
then Arnold the traitor will have
been out-classed, and the adminis
tration at Washington convicted of
having played a leading hand in a
grand farce from beginning to end.
McKinley’s letter of acceptance
of his nomination, blocked out by
Mr. llanna, was sent out last Mon
day. It is a splendid array of good
cnglish language, but it fails en
tirely to bring anything to the
minds of the American people, ex
cept that the present administra
tion is fearful of defeat in No
vember.
Concerning the furies of the
storm in Texas last week. Mr. L.
B. Carrollton, president of the
business league of Alvin, savs :
"Not a building is left standing
in the town, either residence or
business. Stocks of goods and
house furniture are all ruined and
a total lo^.”
\ .1 is a own of jcxx> people am
fifteen or twenty stores, some of
them three stories high, and built
of brick.
Mr. Bryan’s campaign, if suc
cessful, means trouble for trusts
and frauds. Last week the Stand
• ' : Cos., president, Mr. Rodg
er* refused to let Mr. Bryan’s car
be attached to a regular train on
an Ohio Railroad, as other roads
have been doing, to reach an ap
pointment. and he was compelled
to pay fare as a regular passenger,
although an arrangement to that
effect had been made. This shows
an whose side the trusts are. and
was a lucky stroke for Mr. Bryan

Thomas county was nearly destroy

An Albany physician has pur

Mr. Louis Pendleton, formerly of
Valdosta, more recently of Macon,
is now one of the editors of the
Philadelphia Record, a leading
Democratic Journal of that city.
Valdosta’s new artesian well
turns out to be one of the finest in
the state, with a fine stratum of sul

per minute.
Macon’s street fair begins on
October 30th, and promises to be
one of the most interesting exhibi

time.
The Glynn County Pickett is

The population of Atlanta, by
the late census, is 89.872. There
are several suburban villages, how
ever, which if counted with above,
would swell the population to
120.000.
The recent census shows that
there are 25.000 more women in
the city of New York than men.
Blakely Reporter : “An Alabama
man killed his sister’s husband, the
other day, because the husband had
abused the wife.” According to
the laws of nature he did right,
but in the eyes of the law he is a
murderer. If it is a just law, it is
a hard one, that a man must give
up his sister or his daughter to the
brutality of a fiend, whom to pun
ish for his cowardice is to endanger
his life or liberty. Still, it is a
poor man, a sorry brother or father
that will let a scoundrel abuse his
sister or duughter, law or no law.
Mark Hanna says the action of
President Rodgers in refusing to
carry Mr. Bryan’s special car over
his railroad is the most unfortunate
occurrence of the campaign for the
republicans. He says it reminds
him of a mistake Blaine made when
he was running for President which
elected Grover Cleveland, and will
require a great deal of work to ob
literate. It is an ill wind that
blows good for no man.

PEARSON PARAGRAPHS PENCILED.
A Revival at Mt. Zion. Hamilton Sears
on the Wing. Politicians With
the Jug. and a Row at a
School House.
Pearson, Ga., Sept. 13, 1900 —In
our immediate settlement all is well,
and doing well.
Rev. Jno. F. Smith of Ilomer
ville and Rev. F. 11. Poston, of
Douglas have been conducting a
protracted meeting at Mt. Zion
church. They were ably assisted
by Rev. Gellispie and Rev. James
Vining. A few members were
added to the church leaving it in a
revived conditian. “How beauti
ful are the feet of them that preach
the gospel of peace, and bring glad
tidings of good things.”
Mr. Hamilton Sears passed
through this section last week see
ing the people and informing them
of his candidacy for treasurer, in
his good natured way. He left
many “Hamiltonians” behind him.
We have been looking for a few
dots upon Sunday school work
from our worthy president, in the
Breeze.
We like to see politics handled
by citizens, but we are sorry that
so many grasp that handle that
sticks to the side of a jug to run
politics.
The Red Bluff annual meeting
was largely attended by Clinch and
surrounding counties.
A few days ago at the closing of
Mr. Wm. Smith’s school over in
Clinch, the patrons met and car
ried their dinner, expecting to have
a good time. About eleven o’clock
a difficulty arose between some
drunken boys resulting in a row in
which Mark Walker was seriously
stabbed in the back. The row was
so exciting that everybody took
their baskets and hurried home.
Such are the results of whiskey.
Misses Tabitha Pearson, Lena
llolzendorf, Messrs. Charlie Du-
Vall and Dr. Isler gave us a call
Sunday afternoon. Miss Pearson
informed us that she would return
ito school at Milledgeville next
Wednesday. E. T.
Douglas Does Differently-
Nearly every little town, and
large ones too, advertise their
schools and solicit outside patron
age, but Douglas does not do so.
If a man in the country or in some
other town wants to know if Doug
las has a school he can’t tell it from
the columns of the paper supposed
to carry such an advertisement.
Abbeville, Arab!, Vienna, Fitzger
ald, Cordele, Ocilla, Tifton, and
nearly every place in southern
Georgia, have schools and they
have their advertisements in their
papers, too. Douglas should ad
vertise, and let it be known that
she is the only town in this section
that charges no tuition for resi
dential students all the places men
tioned above have fine schools and
competent boards of teachersJbut
none of them advertise absolute free
tuition for resident pupils. Is the
Normal Institutue an educational
institution? If so does it propose
to educate its students to believe
that there is no virtue in advertis
ing? It looks so to a man of ob
servation, and while we have done
all in our power in the past for its
establishment, it has snubbed us
completely.
Gone to Athens.
Alexander J. McDonald, who
has been with us in Douglas for
some months, and who had friends
by the cord, left last Monday for
a quick visit to his old home, Pen
dergrass, Ga., after which he will
enter school at Athens. Alex is a
clever, good hearted boy, and there
is no young man of our acquaint
ance whom we’d sooner see succeed
in life than him. If there is any
thing mean about him he has kept
it well concealed as we never found
it out.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured.
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is bv constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the iuflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
norma condition, hearing will be des
troyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused is noth
