Every citizen of Americas should
take an interest in tree planting.
We must leave the next generation
something else besides maturing
bonds.
Southern Field: Col. Estill says
Atlanta wanted advantageous
freight rates over other and rival
cities in Georgia; and that is what
ails Hoke Smith.
Booker Washington says the ne
groes are following his advice. If
that be true somebody ought to in
vent a process to convert Booker’s
advice into bull-tongue plows.
Thirteen hundred D. A. R. del
egates shook hands with the pies
ident and not one attempted to
kiss him. We presume the At
lanta delegates were not present.
The Springfield Republican says:
“There is only one way to revise
the tariff—vote the democratic
ticket.” And right there truth
smashed the bull’s eye to flinders.
The Atlanta populist organ con
tinues in its rage to gnash its gums
at the action of the state executive
committee but, fortunately, no one
takes seriously any statement that
it makes.
Darien Gazette. Those who think
that Col. Estill is in the race for
his health should just keep their
eyes on him for the next few months
if they want to see a man who is in
dead earnest.
That was an excellent speech
John Sharp Williams made in the
House on the tariff. It was an un
comfortable day for the stand-pat
ters. Mr. Williams is one of the
few Democratic members well post
ed on the tariff question.
According to the different cor
respondents of the Atlanta News,
Judge Russell will soon have a
large job lot of Hoke Smith but
tons on hand, given him by dis
gusted followers of this gentleman.
He got twenty-eight in Sylvester
Thursday and a large number at
Ashburn Friday.
WELCOME TO COLONEL ESTILL
The Times-Recorder welcomes
Col. J. H. Estill to Americus to
day. Col. Estill is no politician,
but he is a splendid business man,
has builded a great newspaper and
through the columns of the Savan
nah News has been a potent'factor
in the development of south Geor
gia and of Savannah, her great
port city. Col. Estill is not a par
tisan, and has never allowed the
columns of his paper prostituted
to abuse and villification of men
and measures. The Times-Re
corder can truly extend to him the
hand of fraternal fellowship and
bespeaks for him a cordial greet
ing in the city today. Hon,
Thomas S. Morgan, who will also
make an address in behalf of Col.
Estill’s candidacy for Governor,
is a brilliant and very talentted
young Georgian, and an orator of
great fame. Those who hear him
today will be given a splendid ad
dress. Let the people of Americus
come out and fill the opera house
on this occasion, which will be one
of the most interesting of the gu
bernatorial campaign.

DANGER IN MAKING A CHANGE.
The old-timers go. The defeat
of Congressman Bankhead for re
nomination by Hobson, in the
Sixth Albania district, will at the
end of the jiresent congress take
from the house the ranking demo
cratic member in point of continu
ous service. Colonel Bankhead is
serving his tenth term and will
have finished twenty years of con
tinuous service when Captain Hob
son succeeds him on March 4, next.
Naturally, Colonel Bankhead is
one of the most iufiuential demo
crats in congress. He is the rank
ing minority member of the com
mittee on public buildings and
grounds and, next to Mr. Lester,
the ranking minority member of
the committee on rivers and har
bors, His influence comes of his
long experience and his committee
ranks.
The Sixth Alabama district now
dispenses with this advantage and
deposes the member with power
and influence for a man who will
have to commence at tire bottom
and serve many years before he
can hope to attain rank approxi
mating Bankhead’s.
We are pointing oat the mista
I ken consideration which induces
some people to depose experienced
legislators. There are men who
think the locality of one’s resi
dence is an important matter; that
each county is entitled to an honor
for a while; that one man has en
joyed his share of public honor
and should make way for some
one else.
It is all a mistake from the
standpoint of the public welfare.
The congressional office is after all
one of important business aspects.
If the man is capable, honest and
industrious, it makes little differ
ence which county he comes from.
If he has served long enough to
gain experience and influence, the
political reward phase of the office
is simply absurd. ■
GEORGIA IS MAKING A PROTEST
The Georgia delegation in Con
gress is putting up a vigorous pro
test against the spectacular march
through Georgia of another Sher
man, though the latter one wears
the priestly robe instead of the
sword with which his infamous
father directed the most awful
scenes of carnage and damnable
atrocities in the world’s history.
The War Department has been re
quested to prevent this insult to
Georgia and the South and the
disgusting affair is being investi
gated. Parson Sherman may
“march through Georgia” as a
citizen, and look upon the scenes
whereon were permitted by the
brute whose name he bears the
most damnable crimes in history,
crimes which have long since con
signed his blackened soul to the
hottest precincts of Hades if he re
ceived the reward which his deeds
merited.
Some of the newspaper organs
are making themselves quite ridic
ulous by the claims they are mak
ing and the figures they are print
ing relative to the contest for Gov
ernor. They discount the intelli
gence of their readers or else they
are deceiving themselves in a most
remarkable manner. It is an easy
way to destroy a newspaper’s rep
utation for honesty and reliability
—provided it has any. The
newspaper which cheapens and in
jures itself in the effort to person
ally benefit some officeholder or
seeker has a peculiar conception of
a newspaper’s duty or province.

NOTHING MATTER WITH GEORGIA »
There is nothing the matter with
Georgia, notwithstanding what
some politicians are saying on the
subject. In the peach belt the
trees are loaded with fruit. Pos
sibly there are not so many peach
es on the trees as there would have
been except for the cold snap, but
the crop will be full and the qual
ity of the peaches will be im
proved by the deficiency of quan
tity. In Stewart, Webster and
Sumter counties—only a small
part of the peach region—the or
chards look especially fine, and
the same could doubtless be said
of many other counties. The crops
of cotton, corn and oats look well,
despite the dry weather. Bacon
is plentiful in many localities and
there is still a good supply of last
year’s corn and fodder.
In some parts of Tatnall county
a bale of sea island cotton to the
acre is the crop, and around Glen
ville the farmers claim that they
do better than that.
A trip through wiregrass Geor
gia will cure anyone of the wrong
idea that the state is not all right,
materially as well as politically.—

The telegraph operators at San
Francisco deserve all praise.
Amid the excitement and damage

was an inspiring exhibition of fi
delity to duty.

Many women f y ’
suffer in silence and drift along from
bad to worse, knowing full well that
they ought to have immediate assist
ance, but a natural modesty impels
them to shrink from exposing them
selves to the questions and probable
examinations of even their family
physician. It is unnecessary. Without
money or price you can consult a wo
man whose knowledge from actual ex
perience is great.
Mrs. PinkhanTs Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she lias
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your good-will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.
If you are ill, don’t hesitate to get a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegctable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink
ham, Lynn. Mass., for special advice
When a medicine has been successful
in restoring to health so many w omen,
you cannot well say, without trying it,
“ I do not believe it will help me.”
