It is intimated that Congressman
Tate will retire from the race in the
Ninth district in favor of Hon. i’homas
M, Bell, of Hall, a relative of his. This
rumor has not been (confirmed or de
nied by Mr. 'late.
The Rhode Island State Democratic
convention was held Thursday and
Hearst captured six out of the eight
delegates to St. Louis, the leading and
progressive leaders of the party warm
ly espousing his cause.
Hon. Henry Watterson says: “If
Hearst is regularly nominated by the
i St. Louis convention the Courier-
Journal will support the ticket, consid
ering him a better man than Bryan,
whom it supported In 1900.”
Savannah Press: “Miss Edna Cain
adds to the gaiety of nations in the
Quitman Free Press by asking if Judge
Dick Ruesell is a long enough pole to

The people of Springfield, Ohio,
lynched a negro murderer a few days

The Russians propose to drive the
Japanese soldiers into the sea. Should
the Japanese navy persist in carrying
out the program followed since the

sight of the sea will be sufficient to
throw a subject of the Czar into some

the Albany Herald.
What a friend Charlie Bartlett has
in Editor Pendleton —recently! All
opposition having withdrawn in the
congressional race, and Editor Pendle
ton wanting to go as a delegate to St.
Louis, he manages by a violent strug
gle to give Congressman Bartlett six
lines of faint praise! Talk about your
comic newspapers!—as our friend Edi
tor Cox observes, the Macon Telegraph
beats them all,
The names of Hon, Moses Wright,
of Rome, and Col. J. II . Sanders, of
Cedartown, are prominently mentioned
as delegates from the .‘♦venth con
gressional district to the St. Louis na
tional convention, and It is believed
they will consent to go. At any rate
two more representative men cannot
be found within the district. The
Dalton Citizen is for them if they want
to go, and the Cedartown Standard
says amen to the suggestion.
A noted French astrologer predicts a
great many dire things that are to hap
pen in 1904. He prophecies the death
of many famous people, the wholesale
shedding of blood the world over, tre
mendous conflagrations and other hor
rors. The only pleasing thing the Al
bany Herald finds in the whole long,
terrible list is the assurance that The
odore Roosevelt will be defeated at the
polls next November.
Representative Adamson is discour
aged and disgusted at the lack of dis
cipline and party organization in the
Democrat ic ranks. He blames Cleve
land and Bryan for this doleful condi
tion of affairs. In giving expression
to his views on the political mixup in
the Democratic party Judge Adamson
said: “I have read allot Cleveland’s
pronuncia Mentos and 1 have waded
through most of Bryan’s harangues,
but 1 have never been able to discover
that they are willing to support any
body but themselves for the presiden
tial nomination.”
The Washington (Ga.) Chronicle sees
a tine opportunity for the Southern
farmers this year. It says: “The
Southern farmers will make more mon
ey this year than they have for many
years past, if they do not get cotton
mad, get overwhelmingly in debt and
be forced to throw their cotton on the
market next fall at any price that is
offered for it. The past several crops
have been comparatively short ones,
and this leaves the demand so great
that all that can be raised this year
will be wanted by the spinners, but the
farmers should be in position next fall
to bold or sell, as they prefer.
TIME TO CALL A HALT-
Editor Reeves, of the Hardeman
■ (Tenn ) Free Press, is not a nun to
be trifled with, as the following
from his paper Indicates :
“There are a lot of smarties In
this town who think they are
mighty funny. We have been hav
ing the mumps and we know we
don’t look like no Apollinaria BeL
vydear, and we don’t feel like a
troubadour, but when some gum
head puts a notice in the sheet
ao -oss the way that we air confined
to oar bed with an attack of gout
in the face, and have to use a
cratch whenever we take a drink,
and when a lot of fool serenaders
git under oar winder and sing.
•Down Where the Worstburger
Flows,* it’s time to/call a halt. We
give fair notice that our liver is un
rung, and d-d if we ain’t had
enough.”
NATIONAL BANKS AND REALES
TATE.
We agree with the Albany Herald
that Congressman Lewis, of the
Third district of Georgia, did a clev
er piece of work when he induced
the house oommitte on banking and
currency to report favorably his bill
to permit national banks to loan
money on real estate. The bill
amends the present law by elimin
ating the prohibition against loans
upon real estate and providing that
a national bank may loan twenty
five per cent of Bs capital upon
good real estate at fifty per cent of
its conservative market value. This
bill is designed to correct one of the
evils of the present law. Ever since
the system was established there
has been this ban upon real estate
ipans. Many efforts have been made
in the past to secure this sort of
change, but they have failed. As
our contemporary says, it is be
lieved that this change in the law
will not only be of great value to
those whose holdings are in land,
bnt it will necessarily result in the
enhancement of the value of real
estate. Mr. Lewis is being warmly
congratulated by his colleagues for
his success m getting a unanimous
report from the banking and cur
rency committee, as there has not
been unanimity in that committee
upon any proposition for a good
many years.
WHAT JUD(Ie"gBIGGB SAYB-
A good many of our readers have
been entertained by the knowing
way in which certain Georgia daily
papers have written ibiut and ridi
culed the Hearst boom, and the sav
age manner in which they have
jumped up and down and sworn to
take Congressman Griggs’ scalp be
cause he dared to be for Hearst.
Judge Griggs was at home the
other day looking after the inter
ests of his constituents in the Sec
ond district, and this is how bis
home paper, the Dawson News—one
Os the finest weeklies in the State,
by the way—quotes him!
"Judge Griggs says that William
R. Hearst will be a strong factor in
the national convention, and just
now his prospects for receiving the
Democratic nomination for presi
dent are better than those of any
other candidate. Mr. Hearst, he
says, is strong in all sections of the
country with Democratic leaders,
the men who have been loyal and
fought the party battles, and is
growing stronger every day
"It is practically certain that
Judge Griggs will be one of the del
egates from Georgia.”
Judge Griggs, as all well informed
persons know, is a national as well
us a State loader in the Democratic
parly, and this brief and modest
quotation from him shows up the
situation better than all the columns
that the rabid anti-Hearst editors
have written or may write on th«
subject. And they know it, and
that’s what worries them.
DEATH PENALTY FOR BURGLARY-
A bill is to be introduced in the
next legislature to make burglary
in this State punishable by death,
and it ought to become a law, espe
cially where a dwelling is burglar
ized. The bill has much to com
mend it. In ninety-nine cases out
or every hundred, the man who en
ters a dwelling with burglarious in
tent, goes prepared to take the life
of the occupants thereof if it be
comes necessary for him to do so
in order to escape capture. Such a
man is criminally bent as any high
wayman or as the man who sets fire
to one’s domicile. In some States
the crime of burglary is punishable
by death, as are highway robbery
and arson in the first degree.
The man who, under cover of
darkness, enters a dwelling while
its occupants are asleep, should be
made to pay such a penalty as will
' forever preclude the possibility of
bis repeating the act. Only inter
ference with his plans or an attempt
to capture him are needed to make
a murderer of a burglar.
The burglar realizes bis danger
, fully, says the Columbus Enquirer-
Sun, and he goes prepared for all
emergencies, and tho oocusant of
the bouse which he has entered has
small chance against him. The
burglar thus places the lives of all
within the house in jeopardy. It
might be proper to distinguish bur
glary by different degrees, making
burglary of a dwelling or any house
occupied as a dwelling or sleeping
apartment, burglary in the first de
gree with the death penalty or life
imprisonment, and burglary ot
other houses burglary in the second
degree with a penitentiary punish
ment.
SORGHUM AND PEAVINE HAY.
The News and Sun publishes the
following, from the Southern Culti
vator, by request:
Dear Sir :—I see in "The Southern
Cultivator” your article on sorg
hum hay. Is it good for mules and
horses? How does it compare with
peavine hay as to quality?
How much will an acre of land
yield, that will make a bale of cot
ton per acre? What is the best kind
of seed to plant? How many to the
acre? What time should it be plan
ted and when out tor best results in
hay? How many cuttings can you
get from one planting? Thanking
you in advance, lam yours very
truly. E. B. Moore.
Answer.—The sorghum question
is the biggest proposition with
which lam acquainted, so far as
seed crops are concerned. It will
grow on any kind of land that it is
possible to grow crops on and will
stand more neglect. Is will respond
quickly to fair treatment and sea
sonable weather but will pull along
under adverse conditions and make
some sort of a crop anyhow. I am
so oeitain of the value of this crop
that I have come to depend on it
nearly altogether for hay, and in
connection with corn, tor ensilage.
My mules get no grain whatever
when not at work, and keep in splen -
did condition on the sorghum hay.
Cows love it. Hogs thrive on the
unoured sorghum.
Theoretically, pea-vine hay is
more valuable than sorghum hay,
bnt practically I find no difference
I made this year on a piece of good
upland 93 large loads on 8 acres.
Part of the field was moved twice
and the balance only once. None of
this hay was weighed, but it was
easily 6to 7 tons per acre. One
year with another sorghum will
make four tons to cow-peas one.
Ambf ror organe, either is good,
the latter growing somewhat larger.
If planted in drills from 1 to 2 pecks
to the acre. If broadcast from 2 to
3 bu-bels
So w anytime from April to Au
gust and cut from bloom to the ripe
stage. Early sowings will make
two cuttings if seasonable weather.

CHANGE on supreme BENCH-
Governor Terrell punched a big
hole in one of the contests for a
seat on the supreme bench Thurs
day aftemom, when he accepted
the resignation of Justice Henry »G.
Turner and promptly appointed !
Judg Beverly D, Evans, of the Mid
dle circuit, his successor.
Judge Turner, who accepted the
office reluctantly last summer to fill
the unexpired term of Judge Lump
kin, deceased, retires in order that
he may be at home with his wife
and her parents, the latter being
quite old and feeble.
The appointment, of Judge Evans
to a seat on the bench leaves Justice
Fish without opposition, and it is
safe to say that he will have note.
It was a very clever coup on the
part of Governor Terrell and one
that will be satisfactory to the
whole State as well as the parties
involved, and he is being heartily
congratulated on it.
A Good Suggestion.
•‘Now that Mark Hanna is dead,”
says Mr. Fleming, "the wisdom of
Cleveland’s nomination is practi
cally nr questioned.” If Mr. Flem
ing had added the words • "By the
Republican party,” he would have
made a good suggestion. Why not
have an open fair fight between the
masses of the American people on
one side and the money power on
the other? If Mr. Cleveland is so
popular, why don’t the Republicans
break up the solid South by nomin
ating him? Respeofully,
F. W. Carswell.

THIN PEOPLE
want to get fat and fat people
want to get thin—human
nature. If you are fat don’t
take Scott’s Emulsion. It
will make you gain flesh. If
you are thin Scott’s Emul
sion is just what you need.
It is one of the greatest
flesh producers known. Not
temporary gains but healthy,
solid flesh that will fill out
the body where it is needed.
There’s nothing better than
Scott’s Emulsion for weak
ness and wasting.
Scott’s Emulsion is a food
medicine; not a stimulant;
not a mere “ extract ” or so
called “ wine ”of cod liver oil.
It contains the whole oil per

only way of preserving its
valuable properties.

Some Expressions Not Quoted by
the Cleveland Dallies.
Cedartown Standard.
Let us have harmony in the Demo
cratic camp, brethren, and Democracy
will prove triumphant. The Atlanta
Journal is too large to look well in the
guise of a back-biting flea.
LaGrange Graphic.
The Graphic is gratified to note the
growing strength in Georgia of William
Randolph Hearst. A number of those
to whom we have been favorable seem
to have dropped out of the running, and
the forces are gradually concentrating
on Hearst. He is a brave young Demo
crat and deserves well of his party.
Albany Herald.
O, yes, the Herald is in favor of a
“conservative man” for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency. But,
say, is Cleveland the only conservative
man in the country, and must the "un
instructed” delegates to the national
convention be all Clevelandites?
Rome Tribune.
One thing is sure—no substantial anti-
Hearst sentiment will be aroused in
Georgia upon the theory that Mr.
Graves, Mr. Watson, Mr. Stevens, Mr
Griggs, or any other more or less dis
tinguished Georgian, has ally personal
or private ends to serve in their out
spoken advocacy of the New york man.
Georgia will hear the case of William
Randolph Hearst on its merits, and un
worthy insinuations against good men
and true will only serve to strengthen
Hearst. Paste this in your hat.
LaGrange Graphic.
Some of the papers are speaking of
urging Editor Charley Pendleton, of the
Macon Telegraph, as a delegate at large
from Georgia to the national conven
tion. He will never go with the con
sent Ot the Graphic, even if he went as
he did before “a voteless and voiceless
delegate.” His nomination for such a
place would cause more dissatisfaction
in Georgia than that of any man we
can think of. To send him would
simply mean that Georgia is going to
sena her delegates there to nominate
Grover Cleveland and be done with it,
and if this is the case it would be far
more sensible and open to instruct the
delegation for Cleveland in advance.

executive committee, at its meeting
last Friday, condemned Prison Com
missioner Turner, and after referring
to his defense of the rapist, Duncan,
and his sanction of the whipping of
Mamie DeCris at the prison farm last

hold office. The committee recom
mended the election of Mr. Strickland,
and in this tney are commendable, if
he is a “home man a great many

The Plans of the Clevelandites.
The "Conservative” Racket.
Albany Herald.
The prevailing idea with these
Clevelandites, who dare not declare
themselves for Cleveland and make the
fight openly, seems to be to work the
"conservative” racket and run in an
uninstructed delegation from Georgia
to the national convention. For one,
we are not so blind as not to see what
it all means.
Scheme of Georgia’s Comic Newspaper
LaGrange Graphic,
To send Mr. Pendleton as a delegate
to the national Democratic convention
simply means that Georgia instructs
for Grover Cleveland. How any man
who has ever supported the free silver
idea can vote for him passes our com
prehension. For abuse of Bryan, of
Hearst, of the free silver movement,
the Telegraph’s editor lias no equal in
Georgia in his bitter malignity. He
believes that unless the Cleveland ele
ment is now thrown to tho front that
the State will send a Hearst delegation,
and so we find him slurring at Hearst
as “The Rich Editor of a Comic
Newspaper.” When it comes to comic
newspapers give us the old esteemed
Macon Telegraph, aud when it comes
to rich ludicrousness give us its editor
every time.
Just as VvelJ Go in Their Holes;
Buchanan Tribune.
We want to say in conclusion that
the man in this country who is looking
for political preferment and who advo
cates the election of Cleveland for the
presidency, had just as well "go in his
hole” and wait until the storm is over,
for he is going to get left, and don’t
you forget it.
