A TOUGH 00W.
A few da vs ago a Mr. Reuben
Smith, of LaGrange, killed a cow,
and in her stomach he found the
following articles:
Six shingle nails, three horse
shoe nails, three barbed wire staples,
one brass medal on which was
stamped the picture of Grover
Cleveland.
The LaG range Graphic thinks
these things follow in logical se¬
quence, rad it intimates that there
to no telling what the cow might
have tackled next. The Graphic to
not surprised that the cow survived
the nails and barbed wire fence, bat
ft marvels that any stomach can be¬
come so debauched as to retain a
brass picture of Grover. It thinks
Mr. &nlth did right in killing the
oow.
The Graphic, however, to preju¬

cow, but it doesn’t like her diet.
Therefore it to glad she to dead.
Is Credit to McLean.

-
Loan’s personality in the campaign
aa a possible candidate for United
Btates senator, more than counter¬
balanced any benefit his money may
have accomplished.
It to our opinion, and we know
that we are not alone in this belief,
that had McLean not forced himself
into the Ohio campaign as a possible
issue, the Democrats would have
elected a majority of the Ohio legis¬
lature and sent a silver Democrat to
the United States senate. While
we do not believe that a Democratic
legislature would have chosen Mo-
Lean aa senator, yet the tear that
such would be the result deterred
many thousands of Republicans from
voting the Democratic legislative
ticket and kept many more thou¬
sands of Democrats at home. They
did not oonsider that the difference
between Hanna and McLean was
worth considering.
McLean lost the Democrats the
Ohio legislature rad prevented the
election of a Democratic silver Uni¬
ted Mates senator.
A Star Selection.
Savannah Praa.
The governor baa made no mistake
in this appointment. Mr. Lewis is
one of the ablest men at the bar of
Middle Georgia. His mind to otear,
vigorous, and of strongly judicial
cast. He has a very Urge practice
in the Ocmnlgee and northern cir¬
cuits. He has never held political
office. Last November, when Judge
Crisp died, Mr. Lewis had a deter¬
mined, devoted following for United
Mates senator. He was a candidate
against Governor Atkinson, and his
selection now by the governor for
one of the highest offices in his gift,
shows a magnanimity which is com¬
mendable. Mr. Lewis, or, as his
friends call him, “Hal” Lewis, is
looked npon ns an oracle in his
neighborhood. He to concerned in
all important cases. A her which
has held such men as Frauds H.
Cone, Linton Stephens, Thomas W.
iSomas, and William C. Dawson
yet claims Hal Lewis as one of its
brightest and strongest exemplars.
He to the idol of his friends and
associates in the circuit. The bench
has been very much strengthened
by the selection of Henry T. Lewis,
of Greene.

Speaking of the matter. General A n»-

said:
‘•We are gratified With the result of

report to the legislature. None of the

of money will be saved to the state.
Nearly $800,000 worth of doors have
been ordered from the prisons this year.
Next year’s trade will amount to $ 1 ,-

“We sell at a price below that of the

England's Bicycle Trade.
Consul Barker, at Birmingham, Eng¬
land, in hto annual report to the state
department says that the one marked
development in that district during the
year has been the cycle trade. It has
been so great that there has been a
great overproduction. The trade with
tho United States has not been greatly
aff cted, because no complete bicycles
have teen sent to the United States
since 1894.
The British
amounted in 1896 to $9,056,420, and in
1897 (estimated) $7,877,275. So many
men have been drawn into bicycle mak¬
ing that other branches have been in¬
jured An increase of 10 per cent in the
wages of skilled labor has resulted, but
a decline to expected tor various rea¬
sons, including the introduction and
use of the best American machinery.
In the last two fiscal years the exports
from the United States to the United
Kingdom of cycles and parts of cycles
were: For 1890, $613,592; for 1897,
$2,375,675.
Learning to Bide.
George S. Hart, the bicycle man, says
that women learn to ride the wheel
more quickly than men. “Almost any
woman, ” he said yesterday, “can learn
to ride with half a dozen lessons, while
the men frequently require weeks of
practice. On the other hand, 1 have
known men who have learned in half a
day It seems to me that the women
have more confidence in themselves than
the'men do They do no* act as if they
expected to fall off every minute It is
just the reverse. They seem surprised
when they talk The men go at it as if
they were sure erf falling and are sur¬
prised if they do not tumble. Of course

sexes, and 1 have referred to the general

HOW 10RND OUT.
Fill a bottle car common glass with
urine and let it gtand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an un¬
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is evidence of kid¬
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also con¬
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfil* every wish in relieving pain in the
back,- ’’leys, liver, bladder aud every
part ot t urinary passages. It cor¬
rects inaluu'.. *n hold urine and scald¬
ing pain in pacing it, orbed effects fol¬
lowing use of liqu> r, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get np many times
during the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-
Root is soon realized. It stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing ca^es. If yon need a
medicine yon should have the best. Sold
by drnggests. price fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mail.
