Editor Graves just can't be impar
tial; be isn't built that wap. His
imagination is too vivid not to color
his perspective.
The Nashville Herald is enlarged
to eight pages, which broadens its
capacity for usefulness to the people
of Berrien’s plucky capital.
The joint debate in Atlanta Fri
day night must have been a good
thing, for both sides express them
selves as being entirely satisfied.
Judge Hines and Mr. Watson aro
formally lined up for Mr. Smith,
but the rank and file of the popu
lists are slow to follow their leaders'
example.
Tifton will hear some sound logic
and straight democracy to-morrow,
by men whose scars in many party
battles ontitle them to a place among
tho loaders.
Irrespective of local politics or
what may have been tho justice of
its cause, Tho Peoples’ League
beat one of the state's ablest legis
lators when Hon. P. A. Stovall was
defeated in bis race for the stato
senate in Savannah Tuesday.
Just one week after a railroad
wreck in Atlanta, damage suite
against the two companies bavo boon
filed to the amount tit ^230;000,
All of wbioh is evidence that whon
Hoke left his calling to campaign
the state, be droppod his mantle on
competent shoulders.
A growing public scntimcnt'prom-
isos to soon wipe out the nogro ex
cursion. It demoralises labor, en
dangers poaoo and has no goofl ro-
anlts for any one, not even the rail
roads which operate it, as all have
more regular bnsiness than they can
handle to advantage.
How many towns in South <Qeor-
gia want new railroads or better
equipped railroads to develop the’r
rosouroes and onlarge their property
-oines? Can those towns effort to
return Hoke b~;tti majorities, whon
his policy, as outlined in his Madison
speech, would cripple every line of
road in the state which was built<by
outside capital? What Georgia wants
is capital invested here; not -to
frighten away what we have.
Mr. Jos. M. Brown says that ts
grant Atlanta the “port rates" re
quested would ruin the wholesale
bnsiness of Dawson, Albany, Acum
ens, Cordele,Tifton, Wayorose, and
Valdosta. Atlanta's “port rate”-fight
was one of the eauses of Mr. Smith's
candidacy. If elected governor, will
he pursuo a policy calculated to orip-
ple the business interests of the
most prosperous section of tho state,
in order to cam a fee paid him Ivy
the Atlanta freight bureau?
One thing that would contribute
more than almost anything else just
now to Tifton’s prosperity and bus
iness growth would be the forma
tion of a stock company to erect
suitable residences to meet the great
and evor increasing demand. Such
a company need not start with a
large capital, and it eould be assur
ed, from tho start, of a ready aalo
or lease for each building put up, ami
besides the profit on tho investment
would havo the satisfaction of filling
one of the city’s greatest needs.
tfate oome* to Albany there will
one of the biggest erowde that ever
assembled in the etete to bear a po
litical discussion. The crowd will
doubtless surpass tbe ons that as
sembled in tbe Obautauqub tent
tabernacle to hear the famous Crisp-
Smith debate in 1894, But tbe
Chautauqua auditorium of today la
a much bigger thing than tbe tent
tabernacle was, and a much larger
orowd can be accommodated. And
fire plugs are bandy in this town,
and we have one of tbe best fire
departments in the state. If thingB
get too hot when the contending
gladiators get to sparring anj their
rampant partisans get to yelling,
Chief James can run hose into tho
building from every side and put
enough water upon the scene to
keep tbe tbiog from blazing. So it
matters not what turn things may
take, unless there should be an
earthquake, Albany will bo equal to
the emergency. Let the gladia
tors and the crowd come on and let
the joint debate proceed; Albany
will do the rest.—Herald.

Twentieth Century Library Club held
it* regular meeting la the club rooms,
Mrs. F. 8. Harrell, ytce-preeldent, pre
siding.
A letter was read by Mn. Harrell
from Mr. Oravee, soliciting news from

Mrs. Miller snd Mrs. Baker were ap
pointed to make a cook book, recipes
to be given by ladles of tne club.
The advisability of appointing an
agent for the toilet articles In the hands
of the club was disoussed snd favora
bly decided.
Mrs. Harrell suggested serving
lunches daring court week, and her
suggestion was heartily approved by
tbeelub. Mrs. Banks was appointed
cb-lrman of a committee to perfect ar
rangements for these lunches.
Mrs. Miller suggested a baby show
for the near future, time to be desig
nated later.
This ended tbe business of tbe meet
ing, and Miss Ava Baker read a selec
tion from tbe Georgian, “Why the
Name of the Mocking Bird Should be
Changed to Lanier." The club then

In the course of his Atlanta

that he gave bis Blmro of the profits
of tho Piedmont bar to charity, Mr.
Howell produced a transcript of Mr.

As reported elsewhere, during
Tuesday's storm, the little daughter
of Ur. J. M. Blount was lying on a

and appears on the road to recovery.
During the storm, Mrs. Blount got

Tbe twenty seventh annotl confer*
•nee of tbe Women 1 *,Foreign HI«*ion-
•ry Society.of-Sooth Georgia was
held In tbo First Methodist church at
Americas, beginning Jane 2nd and
eontlnolng three days. There were in
attendance about 100 consecrated wo
men, representing different auxiliaries
oxer south Georgia.
Besides these delegates, there were
quite a number of visitors, prominent
among whom wss Miss Gibson, presl
dent of the Woman’s Board, also presl
dent of the Scarrirt Bible and Training
8ehool. There were with us also four
returned missionaries, three from
Brazil and one from China. These
women, fresh from the field, related
many interesting experiences concern
log tbe np-boildlog of Christ’s king
dom In far off China and Brazil.
The women of south Georgia support
sixteen missionaries, having workers in
Mexico, Cuba, Brazil. China and Korea
Three others will be added to the
number next antumn, two of these be*
log south Georgia girls.
As we sat snd listened to tbe expe*
rlences of these young women; the
struggles that were theirs In giving up
all to follow the Master, we felt that
truly the spirit of the Lord Is mightily
at work In these latter days.
A very interesting feature of the con
ference was an account of the work, of
tne Scarritt Bible and Training School.
Miss Gibson conducted this service,
sisted by her pupils. The three girls
who had just received their diplomas
told of the domestic, intellectual and
spiritual trsfning and development of
this school, while the three returned
missionaries told of the advantage this
systematic training had been to them
In the field. We felt that we had a
dearer conception of what this school
Is doing for the young women of our
eburch, who want to make the cause
of the Master their life work.
This conference is progressing along
all lines, having raised tbe past year,
for foreign. missions, over $21,000.
Though the leading conference in
southern Methodism, we are not satia<
fled, when we learn of open doors and
needed laborers.' The church should
pray much, and may we as professed
Christians realise that our supreme
business should be to make Jesus
Christ real to the world.

SPRING CATARRH By TAKING PERUNA.
Spring Fever Is Spring Catarrh—Nothing Robs One
o( Strength Like spring Catarrh.
Pe-ru-na Is a Fini l onlc For - a
. Weary Woman.
A Spring Tonic.
A LMOST everybody needs a tonic
in the spring. Something to
^brace the nerves, Invigorate the brain,
and cleanse the blood. That Peruna
powMwsce such qualities U beyond all
question.
We have on file thousands of letters
which testify to the curative value ot
Peruna In cases of nervous • depres
sion and run doWa conditions of the
system.
A Typical Letter.
Mrs. Rhode Stufttebeam,Bunch, Iowa,
w^tes: ,
“For years I suffered with catarrh of
the throat aud bronchial tabes.
“I doctored with different physicians,
bat kept getting wane all tbe time.
Mrs. Hattie Hamilton.
“This spring I took A ©old which set
tled on my longs. I had such a ooogh
I could not rest at night. My friend*,
and I myself thought 1 bad consump
tion.
“A friend advised me to try Peruna.
I bought a bottle and wrote to you for
Advice. Before I had taken one bottle,
my cough was better so I concluded to
give it further trial.
“1 followed your directions as closely
as possible, aud thanks to you and
Peruna, I am a well woman to-day."
Peruna never tana to prevent
spring catarrh or nervoua prostra
tion, It taken in* time*
Pe-ru-na Contains Mo Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per
manent use In so many homes is that it
contains no narcotics of any kind.
Peruna ts perfectly harmless, if taken
according to the directions ou each
bottle. So oaed, it can b« taken any
length of time without acquiring %
drug habit
It has no bad effect upon tbe system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re
moving the cause of catarrh.
There are a multitude of homes where
Peruna has been used off and on for
twenty years.
Such a thing could not be possible
if Pcrnna contained any- drugs of a
harmful nature.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of
the Hartman Sanitarium, Columhus,0»
Revised Formula.—“For a number of year* requests have come to me from a multitude of grateful friepds,
urging that Peruna be given a slight laxative quality. 1 have been experimenting with a laxative addition for quite a-
length of time, and now feel gratified to announce to the friends of Pr«ro*na that J have incorporated such a quality in
the medicine which, in my opinion, can only enhance Its well-known beneficial character.
