JUDGE FORT A CANDIDATE.
Will A gam Make the Race for Congress.
Will There be Others?
Some talk as to who will make
the race for Congress ill the third
Congressional district is already
being indulged in, and the sug
gestion as to who, or how many
will run is mere speculation at
this early stage of the game,
T| ie following will be read with
interest by the numerous friends
of Judge Allen Fort who was in
the race three years ago against
Congressman Lewis.
The Atlanta Constitution says :
“Judge Allen Fort, of Americus,
is to be a candidate for congress
against Mr. Lewis or whoever else
may aspire, at the next election.
Judge Fort has stated this posi
tively to friends throughout the
district. lie is very much in the
race, and proposes to stay in.
Judge Fort was in Atlanta yester
day. While he would not discuss
politics for publication, an inti
mate friend with whom he had
talked said:
“You are safe in stating it as a
fact that Judge Fort will be a
candidate for the democratic
nomination in the 3rd district, no
matter who else may run. There
is some talk in the papers of the
district about Senator Dodson be
ing a candidate in case Congress
man Lewis decides that he will
not again be a candidate, and
there may, of course, be other
aspirants. Most people believe
Congressman Lewis will himself
be a candidate. But lvhoever
else may be in it, you can state it
as coming from the highest au
thority that Judge Fort will be a
candidate, will make a thorough
canvass of the district, and confi
dently expects to be nominated.’’
The Savannah News says:
“Judge Allen Fort will be a candi
date for congressman in the third
district next year, and will oppose
Hon. E. B. Lewis, who at present
holds the place. For some time
past it has been thought judge by nu
merous friends of the that
he would not run for the place,
but it is understood now that he
will enter the race and stay in it to
the end. Judge Fort is one of
the most prominent lawyers in
the state. He is well known to
the people of Georgia and is high
ly regarded by all who know
him.”
Rheumatism Cured.

Balm for rheumatism with great re

“A word to the wise is sufficient”
and a word from the wise should be
sufficient, but you ask, who are the
wise ? Those who know. The oft
repeated experience of trustworthy
persons maybe taken for knowledge.

Cough Remedy gives better satisfac
tion than any other in the market.

Many so-called “bitters” are not
medicines, hut simply liquors Prick- dis
guised , so as to evade the law.
ly Ash Bitters is not one of this class.
It is strictly a medicine, acting pri
marily on the kidneys, liver and
bowels, and for the dangerous dis
eases that attack these organs it is a
remedy of the first grade. There is
nothi objectionable in its taste, it
has a very agreeable flavor and is

MOONSHINERS IN DOOLY.
Discovered by Mr. Henry Olewis, Who
Was Severely Whipped by Them.
Mr. Henry Clewis, who lives
seven miles west of Unadilla,
last Saturday night walked upon
seven or eight men who were run
ning a whisky still.
As Mr. Clewis walked up, the
party commanded him t.o pitch
some wood under the kettle and
thereby implicate himself. This
he refused to do and the party
proceeded to give him a severe
whipping. Mr. Clewis recognized
the men and after being released,
gave the alarm which resulted in
the arrest of one of the men who
was tried and bound over un
der a $400.00 bond for his appear
ance at the proper court.
Sheriff Roberts promptly tele
graphed the federal authorities
and Deputy Sheriff Sheppard
went at once in search of the fu
gitives.
Mr. Clewis is fifty-five years
old, connected with prominent
families in the comity, is now in
a dangerous condition and much
indignation exists in the com
