An Atlanta judge has decided

An Atlanta girl desiring to com

Hon. Clark Howell will be ac
corded an enthusiastic welcome to
Americus tomorrow. And in his
able address he will dispel the
fallacies of disfranchisement and
other populistic ideas.
In the past week of upheaval,
quakes and tumult one must ad
mit that it was real good of Tom
Lawson, Lige Dowie, Hoke Smith
and Carrie Nation to avoid any
stunt of Vesuviastie nature.
This is the farmer’s busy time.
Doubtless he is more interested in
farm work than in politics, but he
will come to Americus tomorrow
to hear Hon. Clark Howell discuss
issues on the gubernatorial cam
paign.
The State Executive Committee
will determine tomorrow the mo
mentous question whether the pri
mary shall be a democratic elec

republicans, populists and mon
grels, a white skin being the only
qualification.

Cordele was treated to the finest
memorial address that it has ever
been the privilege of the writer to
hear on such an occasion. Usual
ly on such occasions a lot of worn
out platitudes are compiled and
burnished up to be endured by a
submissive audience, but Shelby
Myrick’s speech was a gem. One
felt like he was listening to one of
our great lecturers. —Cordele Ram

lates the Cordele chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy.
They raised SSOO in ten minutes

valor of those who wore the gray.
May their efforts be crowned with
abundant success.

JUST THE SAME OVER MERE
With a clear understanding of
the situation, the Montgomery Ad
vertiser says:
“Over in Georgia Hoke Smith,
candidate for governor, the
air and howls for lower freight
rates. Oyer here Mr. Comer, can
didate for governor, goes up and
down the land proclaiming how
well off the Georgia people are and
how happy we would be if we could
get their railroad rates. It has
been the peculiar clamor of Mr.
Comer that Georgia’s rates were
made by the railroad commission
and were immensely lower than
ours. Mr. Hoke Smith as late as
last Tuesday, in a speech at Mc-
Donough, said that the Georgia
farmers paid sixty-five cents more
per bale freight cn cotton to Sav
annah than did the people of Ten
nessee. Now this freight rate of
which he complains is absolutely
under control of the railroad com
mission of the state so far as Geor
gia cotton is involved. The truth
of the matter is that Mr. Smith
and Mr. Comer are both seeking to
raise the spirit of discontent among
the people and hoping by that
means to be nominated.”
HON. SHELBY MYRICK S SPEECH
The speech of Hon. Shelby My
rick, delivered in our city yester-
as pronounced by all who
he~-a it as a masterpiece of ora
tory. His able grasp of the prin
ciples and political forces that
have actuated our statesmen and
directed the affairs of our govern
ment from its inception up to
the present time, is an inspiration
to the student of history. His
clear-cut, logical phrases, and his
persuasive eloquence carried con
viction to the minds of his hear
ers. His glowing tribute to Lee,
Jackson and others, brought tears
to the eyes of the old Confederates.
The rapt attention and frequent
applause which w'as accorded him
attest the appreciation of those
who had the pleasure of hearing
him.—Cordele Daily News.
willing; to make a change
When Senator Bailey was mak
ing his speech on his amendment
to the Hepburn bill a party of
New York sightseers sat in one of
the galleries. They listened to
the Texan lor a time and then one
of them whispered to their Wash
ington friend who was showing
them around: “Where are the
New York Senators! We want to
see them.” “They are not here,”
was the reply. “Depew is in a
sanitarium and Platt is too feeble
to sit here for a long time and
listen to anyloly talk.” The
New' Yorker said nothing and lis
tened to Bailey for a time longer.
Then he sighed and remarked:
“Gee! Wouldn’t New York be
lucky if she could trade off Platt
and Depew for Bailey!”
To people informed, it is well
known that there is a triangular
race for the governorship in Ten
nessee, and a spirited race be
tween Hon. Robert L. Taylor and
present Senator Edward Carmack
who will go before the people for
election on the 12th of May. The
state executive committee has de
clared, and it is published in
every paper in Tennessee, that
“none but white democratic vo
ters will be permitted in the U.
S. Senatorial primary on May
12th.”
A society paper says marriage
has greatly subdued Mrs. Long
worth. We will bet that it was

CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON
HUMILIATING - VILE-DESIItUCIIVE
The very name, Contagious Blood Poison, suggests contamination and dread. It is the
worst disease the world has ever known; responsible for more unhappiness and sorrow than
all others combined. Nobody knows anything about the origin of this loathsome trouble,
but as far back as history goes it has been regarded the greatest curse of mankind.
No part of the body is beyond the reach of this powerful poison. No matter how pure
the blood may be, when the virus of Contagious Blood Poison enters, the entire circulation
becomes corrupted, the humiliating symptoms begin to appear, and the sufferer finds himself
diseased from head to foot with the vilest and most destructive of all poisons. Usually
the first symptom is a small sore or ulcer, so insignificant that it rarely ever excites
suspicion, but in a short while the skin
breaks out in a red rash, the glands of the
groin swell, the throat and mouth ulcerate, 1
the hair and eye-brows come out, and often ;
the body is covered with copper-colored «
spots, pustular eruptions and sores.
There is hardly any limit to the rava
ges of Contagious Blood Poison; if it is not
driven from the blood it affects the nerves,
attacks the bones, and in extreme cases ‘
causes tumors to form on the brain, pro
ducing insanity and death. No other dis
ease is so highly contagious; many an inno
cent person has become infected by using the
same toilet articles, handling the clothing, by
a friendly handshake or the kiss of affection
from one afflicted. But no matter how the disease is contracted, the sufferer feels the
humiliation and degradation that accompany the vile disorder.
Mercury and Potash are commonly used in the treatment of Contagious Blood Poison,
but these minerals cannot cure the disease—they merely mask it in the system. All ex
ternal evidences may disappear for awhile, but the treacherous poison is at work on the internal
members and tissues, and when these minerals are left off the disease returns worse than
before, because the entire system has been weakened and damaged by the strong action of the
Mercury and Potash. There is but one certain, reliable cure for Contagious Blood Poison,
and that is S. S. S., the great vegetable blood purifier. It attacks the disease in the right
way by going down into the blood, neutralizing and forcing out every particle of the poison.
It makes the blood pure and rich, strengthens the different parts of the body, tones up the
system, and cures this humiliating aud destructive disorder permanently.
The improvement commences as soon as the patient gets under the influence of S. S. S.
and continues until every vestige of the poison is driven from the blood and the sufferer

Dear Sirs :—I had a friend who had a bad case of Con
tagious Blood Poison and was in a terrible condition. He
tried all the medicines he could hear of, but nothing did
him any good. He went to Hot Springs but it was like
the other treatments he had used, and he was in despair
of a cure when he heard of S. S. S. After taking it for
awhile the sores all healed, his hair stopped falling out,
and, continuing with it, he soon found himself cured en
tirely of this hideous disease. JOHN LESLIE,
Rockford, 111. 719 W. State St.
I was afflicted with Blood Poison, and the; best doc
tors did me no good, though I took their treatment faith
fully. In fact I seemed to get worse all the while. I took
almost every so-called blood remedy, but they did not
seem to reach the disease, and had no effect whatever, I
Whs disheartened, for it seemed that I would never be
cured. At the advice of a friend I then took S. S. S. and
began to improve. I continued the medicine, and it cured
me completely. W. R. NEWMAN.

■ FROM THE PREFACE
“In every situation General Lee
was a great, a dominant figure. The
, character of Lee has been somewhat
lost sight of in the study of his career,
but it fairly glows with all that is high
and noble and true. The Bayard of
the South exhibits the chacteristics of
the Christian gentleman to the. full.
His is a personality to be studied, to
be followed, to be loved. In his great
ness and in his simplicity he is an
enduring inspiration to true manhood
for all America the world even.”
The Patriots
By. CYRUS* TOWNSEND BRADY
Author of “ The Southerners,” etc.
5 A War-time story in all its aspects. It opens with a chapter
in the life of Lee, woven around the hour in which he decided
to take up arms for Virginia and the Southland.
, 9 There is a dual love story —a vein of the most tender and
[sweetest sentiment running through the pages.
