Notables At Headquarters.
A number of prominent Democrats
called at Democratic headquarters
yesterday. Among them were Judge
J. M. Griggs, Domocratio nominee
for congress; Hon. R. L. Berner, who
will be a candidate for 1 president of
the senate; Hon. H. A. Jenkins of
Putnam, who is making the race for
speaker of the house, aud tho Hon.
Hope Polbill, who will oppose the
Hon. Robert Hodges for solicitor of
the Macon circuit.
Judge Griggs ha9 made a remark
able record in politics. He wa9 ad
mitted to tho bar 111 1883, was elect
ed solicitor general in 1888 and was
elevated to the bench in 1893 in the
same court whore lie was admitted
to practice 10 years before. Thus
he cut in half the old tradition that a
judge is the result of “the cnouba-
tions of 20 years.” He was nomi
nated for congress just 10 years and
one day after his marriage. Mo says
Mrs. Griggs is a mascot and no
power on earth can beat him.
Judge Griggs was elected with 11
other young men in 1888. Most of
them have risen to prominence in
the state and it will bo interesting to
recall their names. They are:
J. M. Griggs, George Brown, \V.
G. Brantley, W. M. Howard “Diok”
Russell,' O. D. Hill, C. G. Jones,
Wallaoo Freezer, Gray Lewis, W. II.
Felton of Bibb. Tom Atkinson,
Boykin Wright, John Candler, Gus
Fite.
Of these 12 who made their debut
as politicians tho same year, throe,
Mr. Griggs, W. M. Howard and W.
G. Brantley, havo been nominated
for congress and will bo elected this
year; four, Griggs, Felton, Jones and
Candler, are on tho benoli, and one,
Gus Fite, is now a candidate for
judge. George Brown was tho
youngest of the 12.—Atlanta Journal,
25th.
Tlic Discovery Saved His Life.
Mr. G. C.nillouotte, Druggist,

A POW EltFUL «T. P.
In a certain Georgia town, long,
long ago, there was a justice of the
peace whoso power was far reaching.
By arrangement with the ordinary he
was authorized to issue marriage
licensc.v In those days the negroes
were beginning to enjoy the luxury
of marrying just like white folks, and
tho j. p. was gathering in quite a lot
of shekels, as he not only pocketed
the license fee, biit also charged a stiff
nice for tying tho knot.
One day a dark lined couple pre
sented themselves as candidates for
matrimony, and lie soon sent them
on their way rejoicing. In a few
days the man returned and stated
that lie could not live “wid dat ’ar .
’oman.”
“Very well,” said the j. p. strok
ing iiis long judicial beard, “bring me
$15.00 and I’ll give yon a divorce.”
The negro returned with the mon
ey in a few days and was solemnly
divorced “by due process of law.”
This is tho only instance on record
(maybe it isn’t on record) wliero one
man exercised tho power of an ordi
nary, a magistrate, a preacher, a clerk
of the superior court, a judge of
superior court and of twelvo jurors.
My little boy, when two years of age.
was taken very 111 with bloody flux. I
was advised to use Chamberlain’s Colie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and
luckily procured part of a bottlo. I care
fully read tho directions and gave it ac
cordingly. lie was very low, but slowly
and surely ho began to lmprovo, gradu
ally recovered, and is now as stout and
strong ns ever. I feel sure it saved his
life. I never can pralso tho Remedy half
its worth. I am sorry every one In the
world docs not know how good It is, as
I do.—Mrs. Lina '8. Ilinton, Grahams-

Saturday's Excursion.
The excursion to Mucon Haturday
last, over the Georgia Son them, was
one of tho best arranged of those
summer pleasure trips which that
prince of good fellows, General Pas
senger Agent MacDonald, have made
famous over his road.
Extra cars, were in relay along the
line, to prevent nil possibility of
crowding, and every arrangement
made for the comfort of those tem
porarily the road’s guests. The
crowd, while not so large as wus an
ticipated, numbered near two hun
dred. That it was not larger Is the
loss of those who failed to go.
The Consolidated line out to
Crump’s park runs through the pret
tiest partjof Macon—by Wesleyan,
the Catholic college, the Orphan’s
Home, the old Confederate arsenal
and other points of interest. At the
park the attendance was large, and
well entertained, and those present
vote Mr. Macdonald thunks foi se-
suring them the treat.
