Wade Hampton Is defeated for
Senator—but then Hampton didn’t
have any Augusta Chronicle or
Macon Telegraph to back him up,
like Gordon did.
It la hard on the saloon keeperi
these frequent elections, and the
cold weather makes it rough on the
man who loves to take something
to "keep him warm."
The great question In the West
is whether Ingalls can be defeated
for Senator. If the opposition will
only be firm, there Is no 'danger of
this South-hater being returned to
the Senate.
In another year Americus’ line
winter resort hotel will be filled
with Northern sojourners, and they
will make Americus more lively
than ever. Several hundred
Northern visitors make a big differ
ence In any city.
The Macon Telegraph Insinuates
that a railroad commission would
be a rare sight to people iu this part
of the country. It might also safe
ly say this country would be a rarer
sight to a railroad commissioner.
North Georgia people believe the
"stepping off place" Is about twen
ty miles South of Atlanta.
And now the young men of
Americus want a driving park.
Let them have it. It will tend to
encourage them, and In the end
will result lu a county fair. What
If it does start otr on a small scale,
It will soon grow larger, and South
west Georgia needs suck amuse-
-ments, and should not depend upon
other portions of the State for
them.
Will be presented by the manage
ment of T. K. Bark’s New Trans-
Atlantic Railroad Show to the
couple who will be united in the
holy bonds of matrimony at the af
ternoon performance of the above
show, on the day of the circus.
This Is a bona-fide offer, made In
good faith by the proprietor. Show
grounds corner of Furlow and Bar-
low streets. Admission 10 and 20
cents.
Scrofula is that impurity in the
blood which, accumulating in the
glands of the neck, produoe un
sightly lumps or Bwellings, which
causes painful running sores on
the arms, legs or feet, which de
velops ulcers in the eyes, ears or
nose, often causing blindness or
deafness, which is the origin of
pimples, cancerous growths and
many other manifestations usually
ascribed to "humors." I*. P. P. is
the friend in Deed. A course ot
this valuable blood puriller, and
you will be a well man. If you
suffer from Scrofula in any of its
various forms, be sure to take P. P.

THE BETTERMENTS QUESTION.
During the campaign which
elected the present general assem
bly'll understood, and in some cas
es the campaign was made on the
Issue of betterments. And yet the
legislature seems to be afraid -to
tonch the question.
That there Is a claim for better
ments by the old lessees of the
'state road, and that considerable
of that claim is just and can be
oolleoted is not disputed, but so far
the legislature will not appoint a
committee to consider the matter,
and will not consent to a commis
sion being appointed to consider it.
The position of the legislature is Ir
regular and Inconsistent. If it be-
Haves the claim to be unjust, why
not say so and settle it? If partly
just, then find how much the state
should pay for betterments.
Aa the matter now standi, and, It
seems, will continue to stand, the
legislators refuses to have anything
to. do with the matter. This is very
embarrassing to Gov. N jrtheu, not
to mention the old and,Lvw lessees.
Nearly forty days of .the present
session has elapsed, and-not a thing
~ dead Istwte the - meat important
question that the legislature will
have to deal with.
ft begins to look as though the
legislature wanted to leave the bet
terments question until the sum
mer session, whan they will here
ample tlma at thlelr disposal.
Th» RicoxDJf* believes the
claim should be examined, and
ffiRjbfk is just should be paid, and
thus settle the matter at once and
I hereby announce myrelf a candidate
during the ensuing terra of two yeurx, for
the office of Tax Collector or Sumter conn
ty, subject to the ratification ot the Demo
cratic prBnary, soon to be held.
If elected, my principal nnsiNtant will he

candidacy is In the Interest of Uls father's
family. They shall receive the fferqulslten
of the office, and It is In obedience to their
expressed desire that I hnvo consented to

Furlow loved so long, and among whom,

married life. Mkhrkl Callawax.
