We are just recovering; froip a
spell of politics, wood-ticks snd bed-
ticks and are troubled with June-
bugs, hum-bugs and bed-bugs; Sick

The Hot Air Club, upon informa
tion, took into consideration re
formation, transportation, immigra
tion, miscegenation, amalgamation,

Nothing wrong to sing a song.

The Club intends erecting a club
house and make Joe Brown an honor
ary member. Dr. Tyson will make
a deed to the land, I. M. H. Fletcher
will also deed part of the land to the
Club at Chula. The members alto
see the necessity of a hospital or
sanitarium for the treatment of in
valids and other patients. Also
deem it essential as well as charit
able, to erect a home for old
dignhnt people, where they can
spend their days in comfort and easef
If some preachers would devote as
much time to charity as they do to
politics, a world of good could be
accomplished. Some of them are
becoming to be political agitators,
and forget their calling, if God ever
called them. Let them follow the
footsteps of Christ ami show a good
example. One cannot serve Christ
and Smith or Brown at the same
time.
The minister of the gospel who
adheres to the divinity of Christ
commands respect and administra
tion. He who preaches the cruci-
fiction and resurrection of our Savior
should be encouraged.
Every individual with unlimited
power becomes a tyrant, though
fome are more unreasonable than
others. There is nothing within
reason that working men cannot
accomplish if they are united, and
representatives of man can do
many things if they confine them
selves to reasonable measures. When
they go to extremes and become
dictators, and injure trade and traf
fic, which throws mep out of employ
ment and make paupers out of horn
eat workmen then they retaliate,
All this aiivei'-toned oratory will not
feed the hungry.
No political orator or aspirant to
office can succeed when he deprives
the masses of their liberties and en
deavors to starve them into submit
sion. The nearest to a man's heait
is his stomach; self preservation is
the first law of nature.

Saw Mill Man are, Encouraged by In-
v crease of Inquiries.
' The first ray of sunshine through
the gloom that has been hanging
over the lumber market for the past
year, was evident at the regular
meeting of the Georgia-Florida Saw
Mill Association, held at the Con
tinental Hotel, Atlantic Beach, Flori
da, Saturday last.
President Tift was in the chair,
and the largest attendance that has
greeted one of these meetings in
several months was present. Most
of the prominent lumber manufact
urers in Georgia and Florida were
represehted, and the reports from
the members showed much improve
ment in the lumber market.
The labor and car probli
longer confront the lumberman, the
only trouble they are having now
being to secure sufficient orders to
ship the stock they have on hand.
As was the ease at the last meet
ing, there are still plenty of orders
for the larger sizes of dimension
stock, but for these the lumbermen
have not the timber available. It
was the general opinion that the
owners of large timber could get
practically their own price for their
holdings.
Nearly all the mills are stocked up
on dressed stuff, and the market i:
still far from good.
Reports show inquiries growing in
volume and a much better outlook
than at the last meeting, which was
held in Tifton in May. It was re
garded as only a question of time
when buyers would be in tile market
for not only the stock on hand but
for at least part of the capacity of
the mills.
Reports also showed that there
was a great deal of difference in
prices that the various manufact
urers are receiving, nnd in order
that there might be a better under
standing among them as to the real
value of their product, the Secretary
was instructed to gather from the
different saw mill men the prices at
which they are selling and that these
prices be tabulated and furnished to
the members of the Association for
their guidance.
While the market for dressed
stock is still far from good, inquiries
are more plentiful and prices show a
slight advance.
Taken as whole, the situation pre
sented at this meeting is the most
encouraging one for months past,
and all the lumbermen attending
were elated in consequence.
There is still no definite settlement
in sight of the differences between
the members of the Association and
the other lumber manufacturers as
to the collection of the 2c. freight
overcharge. The committee in
charge of this affair was instructed
to confer with Attorney Terrell,
with a view of having the case set
tled at the earliest possible date.
The next meeting of the Associa
tion will be held at Atlantic Beach,
Florida, Monday, July 13th.
A SIMPLE REMEDY FOR DYSPEPSIA.
Make it up for Youraelf From a Special
ist's Prescription.
We publish below the formula of an
expert stomach specialist, whose fee
for diagnosis and prescription is #25.00.
Anyone ia free to use this formula
and make the medicine up for himself
at home. It is said to bo marvelously
curative in severe cases of indigestion
and dyspepsia, especially where 'there
1 excess ot gas on the stomach.
On the other hand, it is free from
harmful ingredients and will not injure
the most delicate tissues. While inv
mediate relief is to be expected, it is
recommended that the treatment be
continued for three weeks in order to
guarantee a complete euro.
Get from your druggist J oz sodium
phosphate, 1 oz essence sealmint. Take
8 ounce (f pint) bottle with a good
cork, fill it nearly full of hot water;
then put the i oz. sodium phosphate in
and add | teaspoonful of good baking
soda. Let stand until cool, and add 1
oz. essence sealmint, and shake well.
Take two teaspoonfuls before each
meal.
It is said that nearly 90 per cent, of
all indigestion and dyspepsia is due to
fermentation of food in the stomach.
This prescription is designed to counter
act that, to stimulate the digestive se
cretions, and to regulate the move
ments of the bowels. Certainly, unless
it possessed remarkable virtue it would
have been impossible for the originator
of it to have won such a high reputa
tion in his profession, for he uses it in
nine-tenths ol the case* that come be
fore him. 6-12-12t.

A Review of tho Campaign.
Atlanta Ga., June 6.—One of the
most remarkable and spectacular po
litical contests in the history of the
state has closed in the defeat of
Governor Hoke Smith for re-election
and the nomination of Joseph M.
Brown, of Cobb county, by 13,000
majority. Into this situation there
enter more elements of a great po
litical tragedy than are recorded in
the state’s history. Two years ago
Hoke Smith was elected governor
on a great reform wave that swept
him into power over four opponents.
Repeatedly in his campaign for
that election he stated that he would
boot Joseph M. Brown out of the
office of railroad commissioner.
Smith was elected and he made good
his threat. Brown was summarily
dismissed. Within two and a half
months of the date fixed for the pri
mary for the governor’s re-election
Joseph M. Brown announced his
candidacy for governor. It is a lit
eral fact that seven out of ten peo
ple laughed at the idea of Brown de
feating Smith. Hoke Smith was a
national figure; he had been Secre
tary of the Interior, had been men
tioned as presidential timber, was
recognized as the most powerful
campaign speaker in the country.
He is a physical giant, and esteemed
a man of tremendous mental force.
Joe Brown was practically un
known to the masses. He is small
in stature, with no capacity whatev
er for public speech, and a man of
naturally shrinking nature. He is
as shy almost as a girl. A defect
of his eyes prevents his recognizing
even his most intimate friends save
at close range. Bat those who knew
him well knew him to be a high-toned
Christian gentleman with great train
power, and a deep and abiding, faith
in the soundness of men and meas
ures. These were the contrasts be
tween the two men. Many wanted
Smith defeated, but had no faith in
Brown’s ability to accomplish it.
But this sentiment of opposition
to the gdvernor crystalized with re
markable rapidity, gathering mo
mentum as the days went by, al
though Governor Smith was fighting
desperately for his political life,
with six to ten speeches a week.
The Brown movement spread until it
swept Brown to victory.
It is a political revolution like this
country has not seen in a long while.
And the man who won this battle re
mained throughout this campaign
in his offices in the Kimball house,
seeing political followers from all
parts of the state, answering a bur
densome mail, writing sledge-ham
mer blows with his trenchant pen,
making no public utterance by speech
using no mud or bitterness.
J. lit. Smith i» the man who jier-
suaded Joe Brown to l urs for gov
ernor, or, rather, was a strong fac
tor. Then when Brown consented
to run and asked Smith to manage
his campaign, he felt panic stricken.
He knew all abcut dry goods and’
shoes and millinery, for he is a sue- j
ceseful merchant. But he finally
consented, and plunged into the*fight
to the eyes.” He smiled
throughout the campaign, until the
turns began coming in. Then he
grinned. He is grinning yet.. He
conducted the campaign on a high
plane. He slung no mud, wounded
no foe„ save with honest darts. And
he worn—for it was a Smith—X R.
as well as a Brawn victory.
It will be two or three days before
full official figures-are all in,, but the
result will not be changed, nor the
figures very materially,. In the
meantime Joe Brown will go quietly
to his home in Marietta, and lead
the unassuming life. His term d-ees
not begin for over a year -in
fact on the Saturday following tike
fourth Wednesday m June,. 1909.

Dear friends and relatives, I* mnast
respectfully thank you all for your
kindness umd love anti respect that
you showed me during my wife’s
illness and my bereavement. I wish
l could express my feelings towards
you all for the love and gratitude
shown me and as it was God’s will
to take my dear wife from my side,
I feel thankful to God for giving her
victory over death, hell *nd the
grave. In the very hour of death
the last words that fell from her tor
tured and fevered lips was, ‘‘Don’t
you hear the car-wheels rinsing?
Open the house and let Jesus come
Then she was silent for a few
moments and then asked: ‘‘Who all
is here to see my last farewell.”
And new, dear Christian friends,
when on your knees remember me at
a throne of grace. May God ever
bless you all, and reward you for
your kindness towards me.
