The May Edition of the Washing ton, Ga., Chronicle is a beauty. A cattle-raiser near Valdosta re cently killed a beef which weighed nearly 2,000 pounds. The Weekly Press Association will hold its annual session next July in the city of Dublin. The poultry and pet stock display will he one of the important features of the Georgia State Fair. The Atlanta Constitution has named it—the little jiaper over on the other side of town; * ‘The Cordele Hermit,” The “Elkonian,” a little three months-old paper that has been printed at EJko, Ga., by Editor Mc Nair, has suspended publication. The Southern Farm Magazine says that Mr. A. W. Walker of Spauld ing county, Georgia, recently skip ped 400 bushels of wheat of his own raising to Atlanta, The Sentinel not being n partisan paper in Cordele municipal politics, nevert heless, to both sides takes the privilege of saying, “Rim lien, </ui rira It dernier. ’’ It seems that marriages over in Irwin county haven't got the prop er sticking qualities. The superior court, recently in session in that county granted thirteen divorce cases. The Constitution has called our little contemporary over on the other side of town “The Cordele Hermit,” ami we are wondering yet how the big paper ’way up in North Georgia ever found it out. The curious fact that corn, pota toes and other plants thrive better when placed in rows running north and south has now been proved. Planted thus they obtain more uni form and regular light. The printer on the Moultrie ob server must have been ox-eiled when be was setting a headline over an article setting forth the particu lars of the lynching of Sam Hose. He made the head road : “Burned at The Steak!” “A convention is to be liehl in Atlanta to discuss methods of put ting a stop to lynching. If there is any way in which this end can he accomplished it is to be hoped it will be discovered and applied.”—Macon Telegraph. “If The Cordele Sentinel would change its name to Bumble Bee it and the Hornet would make a fine i>air. ”—Waycross Journal. The Sentinel does not want to sting end it doesn't have to change its name to Bumble Bee. in order to hum. The courts in Dooly have assumed very large proportions. Indeed our Superior Court this spring held six weeks, nearly three times as long as ! usual: about 300 cases were trans ferred to the County court, and this court’s session has been more than doubled; and at "the present writing” our honorable Justice’s Court of the Holst District. G. M., is “peggingaway,” and will hold for several more days. Now, “ain't we getting there ?” Lynch Law. Well, the lynching bee and a)l its concomitants have passed and a calm reflection of all its incidents is now in order. No one, it seems, at tempts to palliate or excuse the miserable fiend, Sam Hose, but there are I hinking people all over this land who do not believe in lynch law. If lynch law is right, why is it that in almost every case of its exercise we see that the crowd of lynchers are not apl)e ased by the killing of the culprit alone but innocent parties must go to appease the hunger of this ravenous appetite for blood, Lynch law is a monster that makes the meat it feeds upon in a many cases, We are only too glad to see that almost without exception the newspapers of the state condemn it. These great palladiums of the people’s liberties and controllers of public opinion almost universally urge that law and order should reign and that one murder will not atone for another. The laws of Georgia make lynch ing murder, and that God who in His good and holy Book teaches mortals to beware of vengeance and to obey laws of the country, no where commands us to do murder even on such a fiend as Sam Hose. Can any Georgian doubt but that umler our strict law Sam Hose would have been convicted and hung ? There is a Gospel of Peace and love of order and there is gospel of re venge and disregard of law and a yielding to our passion. Even so good a paper as the Vienna Progress, which generally advocates such wholesome views, goes daft on this question and puts on its leading editorial page the following : < 4 He ought to be lacerated, tarred and feathered and burned to a stake, in presence of the living victim and the spirit of the departed. His eyes, the eagles ought to pluck them out, his body burned and his ashes cast into the river ot this and similar turpitude, which is flowing through our land, as a warning to the living and to terrify the souls of them who are so mean as to think of doing such deeds.” STOCK LAW.—FARM PRODUCTS. Sumter has long been the banner cotton county of Georgia as Dooly has been excelling in number of cat tle ami sheep raised. But Sumter will lose this pennant if things Keep on as they now trend. Cotton is not king any more. Thousands of cattle are being slaughtered here now for the North and West. Rich compa nies are being formed and cattle are herded here, fed a short time on cot tonseed hulls then slaughtered and shipped to foreign markets. The business is proving profitable and cattle are bringing better prices and more are being raised than ever be fore. But the money crop of this county is not cotton, nor cattle, but hogs. Everyday in Americus wagon loads of home-raised bacon are mar keted here. Some of our farmers have made a great deal of money raising hogs. Geo W. Council, who lives five miles east of Americus and who . claims . . to , . have dug , all „ lus , . wealtli out, of mother earth, has made a groat success in raising ba con. He claims that as the West makes money fattening hogs on corn which makes only 30 bushels per FOR BLOOD POISON. RoUfdrO flf thfi nnrtnrc’ There is not the slightest doubt that the DOnulv Ul lliC UuifiUld doctors do more harm than good in treating Contagious Blood Poison; many victims of Painhumrlf ululIWUlKy • Yrtll lull Pon Uflll off this to-day loathsome if they disease had would be allowed much better them I never selves to be dosed on mercury and potash, the Cure Yourself at Homo. " h,ehdootor '""«*" ,nr The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of this vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the disease—the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the system, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash ^nd mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system more damage than the disease itself. Mr. H. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, N. J., says: “I had spent a hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realized that they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my befly, and these soon broke out into running sore9, and I endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro duces. I decided to try S. S, S. as a last resort, and was soon greatly improved. I followed closely your ‘Direc tions for Self-Treatment,’ and the smaller, large splotches before on long my chest began to grow paler and perfectly and and fe'i disappeared entirely. I was soon cured my skin has been as clear as glass ever since. I cured my self at. home, after the doctors had failed completely.” s It is valuable time thrown away to expect the doctors to cure Contagious Blood Poison, for the disease is be yond their skill. Swifts Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —acts in an entirely different way from potash and mercury—it forces the rid of it entirely. Hence it the ' poison out of the system and gets cures disease, while other remedies only shut the poison in where it lurks forever, constantly undermining the constitution. Our system of private home treat ment places a cure within the reach of all. We give all necessary medical ad vice, free JS sa' ‘he the embarrassment of publicity.

This eradication of cholera almost entirely has made the hog industry which was the least now about the greatest factor in the up building of To be sure,this ' Sumter. law was not obtained without a I struggle and only after several elec tions, but now its advantages are so manifold that no one in this county can be found who would go back to the ancient way of fencing crops and turning loose the stock. Hundreds of acres that were barren are grow*, ing up in wild oats and the branches are growing up in cane that furnishes fine feed for winter pasture. OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The public schools of Americus now have 1600 pupils and embrace a course of eleven years. So thorough is the course that last year six of our students who attended other col leges after graduating here took first honors. This public school cost a great deal of money but the unani mous verdict of all our people is that the school is worth all it costs. It is now being discussed, but no def inite shape lias been assumed, by those favoring the addition of an in dustrial department for the larger boys and girls of our school. In nothing has our city lavished so much care and attention as on our schools. PROHIBITION. Our merchants who thought they could sell cider tinder our local op tion law have all been stopped They were ignorant of the fagt that the local option law which prevails iu this county as well as in Dooly ex pressly provides that cider shall not be sold at retail, and when they ascertained that such was the fact i they promptly paid the internal reve nue license and went out of business, They were laboring under the de lusion that if the cider was non intoxicating they cou'd sell it when the statute expressly provides that cider shall not be sold at retail in barrooms and the Supreme Court has in 79th Georgia Report declared that a barroom is any place where liquor or wine or cider is kept for sale. Prohibition does prohibit in Sumter. Regulus. Americus, Ga., May 3, ’99. j ; A recent lftw has beeu enacted in the state of South Carolina that should give some thought to Geor ?* a lawmakers.
