R. J. Fotr»l. employed by the. Indus

of Atlant*, living on 14th street, says:
•T used Donn’a Kiduoy Pills for back
ache and they did mt» more good than
anything alee I ever tried. I cannot
say too much u their favor. My back
has given tne no end of suffering and
misery. There was a terrible pain
ucrO'-a th* small or mv back, so severe
at times ns to lay tne up. I could not
res’ at rnehts from 11 and all during the
day it made life almost a burden The
kidney secretions were all out of fix,
very d»rk and red and full of sediment,
disturbing my rest at nights. I used
all the different, remedies I could hear
about, but nothing did me much good
until I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills at
Brooks Drug Store. They helped me
promptly and the very first day after
using them I felt better. Mince taking
them I have had no more backache;
the sediment has disappeared from the
secretions, I can retain them all night
and go to bed and rest well, arising in
the morning refreshed and feeling
splendid.’’

Os course there’s a limit—

Are rather too raw ;

No better than they

Quite thoughtless. And: "Who,”

In his runabout.”
And hear a man saying:
“Between you and I,
That block of Pacific
Would make a good buy.”
And this from a mother,
Too kind to her boy:
"I had rather you shouldn’t
Do things to annoy.”
And this from a student,
Concerning a show,
Who «h vs to the maiden:
“Let’s you and I go.”
There’s lots of good people,
That’s talking like that,
Who should learn from we critics
To know where they’re at.

. President and Speaker.
The campaign for pres dent of the
senate and speaker of the house of
the next ganeral assembly of
Georgia is dow cn. The election of
these officials does not occur until
the meeting of the 1< gislature in
June, 1905. The prospective candi
dates for the presidency, as we un
derstand, are Hon W E Steed, of
Taylor ; Hon. C. M. Candler, ct De
kalb ; Hon. W. S. of Lown
des, and Hon. A. O Blalock, of
Fayette.
Mr. Steed expects to represent the
Twenty-third senatorial district,
composed of the counties of Hons
ton Crawford and Taylor; Mr.
Candler the Thirty-fourth district,
composed of Gwinnett, DeKalb and
Henry; Mr. West the Sixth dis
trict composed of Echols, Lowndes
and Berrien; Mr. Blalock the
Twenty-slxthjdistrict. composed of
Spalding, Butts and Fayette.
This is a popular and able quar
tette of candidates, and, as John
Boifeullet, the clerk of the house,
says, they will make the liveliest
and most interesting race for the
presidency of the senate that ha:
been known in Georgia in many
years. All of these gentlemen have
had much legislative experience,
having served numerous terms in
the general essembly. Messrs.
Steed and Blalock are active practi
tioners of the law. Messrs. Mur
phy and West formerly practiced
law, but they have retired from tbe
profession and are now practical
business men. Mr West may en
gage occasionally as an attorney,
but he devotes the greater part of
his time to hie large timber and
milling interest, at which he has
become quite wealthy. Messrs.
Steed, West and Candler are mem
bers of the present house. Mr.
Blalock has served in several pre
ceding legislatures.
T1 e contest for the speakership
of the next house promises to be
equally as warm and, interesting as
that for the presidency of tho sen
ate. As in the race for president
four gentlemen are considered as
probable candidates for speaker,
with another one as a possibility.
They are leading members of tbe
present house, each is a lawyer, and
all have served several terms in the
legislature. They are Hon. J. D.
Howard, of Btldwih; Hon. I. 8.
Felder, of Bibb; Hon J. M. Slaton,
of Fulton ; Hon. Fonlren Mitchell,
of Thomas, and possibly Hon. J. J.
Flynt, of Spalding. Mr. Flynt says
he will be a candidate for speaker
if he concludes to run again, but
has not fully decided that he will
be a candidate for representative.
Mr. Howard is speaker pro tern of
the present house. This is an able
array of legislators, and the per
sonnel of the men is an assurance
that there will be no dull time in
the speakership campaign.

Flat-Footed for Gorman.
“It is going to be Gorman and I
will bet you any amount on it.”
Such was the expression by
Hon. Frank Flynt, fresh from Wash
ington, yesterday atternoon, in
concluding an expose of the politi
cal situation from his point of view.
“When it comes to Hearst, ” said
he, “I am very much an admirer of
the man, but I don't think he can
win. Look out for Hearst, though
—he is going to cut a string figure
tn the politics of this country
“Now, Gorimrn would stand a
good chance of winning—in faot, I
believe he would win, though I am
not betting on his election—only on
his nomination. He has all the
qualities of leadership, as is shown
by the way he was at once restored
to the place of leader in the senate
as soon as he returned after an ab
sence of six years. Also, by the
way he settled the governorship
squabble in bis party in Maryland
within a week after he had come
back from Europe, though it had
been on during all the six
weeks of his absence. H<* com
nmnds tbeoonfidenceof the E>stern
Democrats, yet has b°en regular in
his allegiance to the Southern and
Western wings in recent cam
paigns. I believe he is twenty per
cent, stronger than any other man
the party could put up
“Speaking of Hearst, I should be
glad to see him on the ticket also—
Gorman and Hearst is my ticket.
This may look a little one-sided,
bnt it will carry that part of the
country that we must have to win.
It would carry tbe hearty support
of Tammauv and is essential to car
rying New York State.
"Gorrfian is sometimes spoken of
as a political boss in the same class
as Hill, bat he has never put him
self to the front as a boss like Hill,
and no such defeats can be pointed
to in his case.”
Mr. Flynt regards the nomination
of Roosevelt as a foregone conclu
sion. “Not because the Republi
cans want him, or regard him as
their strongest candidate,” said he,
“but because they can not help
themselves. He will be as easy to
beat as any man the Republicans
can put up ; but to boat the Repub
lican party is not so easy.”
Mr Flynt has been in Washing
ton a good many years, hold ing an
important depaitment position—
he is now engaged in examining the
titles of settlers on forest reserva
tions who are offered a chance to
move to other government lands—
and has always taken a keen
interest in politics, and his views
will be read with interest.
Wilbur Berry Sentenced
for Killing Dave Horton.
Solicitor O. H. B Bloodworth, of
Forsyth, was in the city Friday
on his return home from attendance
at Batts superior court, which has
adjourned. He says Wilbur Berry,
the negro who killed Dave Horton
at Head’s shop several months ago
and was brought back frem Chatta
nooga, where ha was in hiding, by
Sheriff Freeman, was convicted of
murder and sentenced to life im
prisonment.
The killing of Horton was a bru
tal murder and was published in the
News and Sun at the time it oc
curred. Berry was at Horton’s
home and the latter was shot down
when be entered the threshold of
hi- own home. Tho murderer was
at once captured, but escaped from
the officers on the way to jail and
nothing was heard of him for saveral
months after the killing.
Finally a handsome reward was
offered for Berry’s arrest, and after
some careful study Sheriff Freeman,
of this county, located Berry in
Chattanooga, going after him and
bringing him back to Butts county.

12 Cent Cotton.
i
Editor News and Sun—What I
wro’e you sbjut the condition of
the cotton crop a few weeks ago
was based upon an actual investi
gation of the cotton plant in the
field. I said the crop was tnen
mostly in “equates and blooms.”
Go to our Griffin warehousamen
and get and publish the receipts of
last and this year up to this time
and you will see I w»s correct.
There is bin little September cotton
in our section. Oue farmer in Butts
picked over one hundred acres to
get a bale.
I said every condition had to be
just right or we would have a small
cotton crop; that if was too dry or
too wet the squares would drop. I
am suiry to t-ay it. has been too dry,
and the squares have dropped. I
was in Monroe county lust week and
found there that, only seventj per
cent, if a lull crop will b > made. I
*m ia Bu r ts this week and the same
proportion will prevail.
But. we are now t > contend with a
new factor The ruin has set in and
there is danger of the younger co'-
ton throwing off its equates and
going into gruwth again I believe
this cot ton should be topped, as it is
not likely that any nowtquaros Cad
mature. Blooms may mature up
to the 20th ct September with a late
fall, but new tquires from now on
are gone. We nave still before ns
the possibility of an early frost. I
do trust we will escape that calam
ity. A frost early in October would
be a calamity to all the people of the
South. Let us all pray for a good
October, tor I warn you that not
withstanding prosperity smiles upon
us today, adversity and sorrow may
come in the breath of a single night.
There is still a cottm famine in
the land and the laws of supply and
demand entitle the farmers to
twelve cents for their cotton now.
Further disaster may turn the
world upside down on the cotton
question and carry us to fifteen to
twenty cants cotten. We are not
out ot the woods. We must have
sixty days of good weat her to make
a sev nty per cent, c -np in Middle
Georgia. I sincer* 1-. ist we will
have it I would i i.aer have it
than fifteen ovut* cobton.
Let all the merchants and bank
ers and farmers and editors and
doctors and lawyers and working
people talk twelve cents cotton now.
I used to think the farmer stood
alone in tbe world, bat I have
changed my mind. I soe now that
the merchant is his closest ally, and
the banker a valued friend, and
that they must all pull together.
Pass the word for twelve cents cot
ton. W. E H. Searcy.
