The paper trust has shown a
good example by owning up. Mon
opolists pile it on when they add
mendacity to rapacity and audac
ity.
Atlanta’s freckled citizens, ever
thrifty, are now hiring out to
freckle doctors at $4 per week as
living examples of the fact that
the freckle do move.
An Atlanta physician says that
coffee is worse than whisky. That
is a very common opinion if what
the people spend for the two bev
erages is any indication.
The excitement over the guber
natorial campaign is still largely
confined to the candidates and
their immediate friends, but just
wait till the crops are laid by.
The Kussians have successfully

The latest report from the con

Seventh district was to the effect
that Congressman Lee defeated
Judge Fite by a majority of 7,500.
Judge Dick Eussell has no news
paper to boom his candidacy, but
wherever he speaks the voters get
ashamed of wearing the other fel
low's button and Dick gets ’em by
handfuls.
Editor Mclntosh thinks that the
political waters of Georgia have
been clearing up very rapidly dur
ing the past ten days, and more of
the people of the state are begin
ning to see things as they are.
This is a Democratic State and
it can elect a Democratic Govern
or. The success of the party does
not depend on the fortunes of any
one man. If that were the case
the party would not deserve any
respect.
The AtlantaJJournal’s] slogan,
“Watch the Lineup,” which it
used so much in the beginning of
the gubernatorial campaign, has
been silenced by the Macon Tele

Albany Herald.
The floral department of the
Canadian Pacific railroad has
made its ninth annual distribution
of flower seeds, consisting of twen
ty-one varieties, and by this means
each station will be a bed of bloom
during the summer months.
An Ohio preacher warns his
congregation that the end of the
world is near at hand, but a Chi
cago University professor makes
the consoling statement that the
earth will remain habitable for a
hundred million years longer. The
Americus ball team ought to win
a game by that time.
The Nashville American notes
the fact that Bro. Wadsworth: the
Georgia minister who was sus
pended from his pulpit by the
North Georgia Conference for
“kissing a woman” has been re
stored by the General Conference.
What did his home conference ex
pect him to do? Kiss a man? *

DOES THE SOUTH WANT THEM?
There is much complaint in the
South from time to time of the un
reliability of negro labor. There
is good ground for the complaint,
but it is sometimes wiser to bear
the evils we have than to fly to
others with which we are unac
quainted. The efforts to attract
foreign immigration to the South
should be restrained by caution
and guided by good judgment.
We want to open no new Pandora’s
box in the South. So far it has es
caped the evils which foreign im
migration has broughi to other
sections of this country.
The South boasts of its pure
American blood and its American
ism. It should have no desire to
make vain a boast that is now
justifiable.
A large population is all well
enough, but a crowded population
is not desirable. We shall surely
come to European conditions in
this respect soon enough. Indus
trious and reliable laborers are to
be desired, but they are not the
only desideratum in the social, po
litical and industrial economy of a
community. When it comes to
securing them through foreign im
migration they should be selected
with care and caution.
The most desirable immigrants
are German, Scotch, Irish aud En
glish. Swedes are usually indus
trious, frugal and tractable. Ital
ians are industrious and thrifty,
as a rule, but they are quick to
strike, to raise disturbances, to
harbor the feud spirit. We want
no Mafia or “Black Hand” socie
ties in the South. As a rule the
most desirable Italians do not
come to this country.
The great bulk of the so called
“Italians” who come over here to
cut throats, throw dynamite, and
conduct labor riots and assassina
tion fraternities are nothing more
than the degenerate progeny of
the Asiatic hordes which, long
centuries ago, overran the shores
of the Mediterranean and were the
pirates, the spoliators, and the
mercenaries of those bloody ages.
The vitality of the Pop party is
something marvelous. It has been
ordered to “go dead” on August
22nd, vote for Hoke as democrats
on the 23rd, and come to life as
the same old Democrat hating
Pops on the 24th.
A subscriber wants to know
why so many more women go crazy
than men. It is not true, perhaps.
The women are just moreaddicted
to talking than men and give them
selves away.

A Cbieagj doctor says that for the
last fifteen years he has used egg to
cure felon and has yet to see a case it
will not cure. The way to apply the
egg is us follows: Take a fresli egg
and crack the shell at the larger end.
Make a hole just large enough to admit
the thumb or linger, whichever it may
be, and force it into the egg as far as
possible without rupturing the shell.
Wipe off the egg which runs out and
bind a handkerchief or soft cloth
around the finger or thumb, leaving
the egg on overnight. This will gener
ally cure in one application, but if not
make another application.

“What in the world does that mean?”
asked the traveler through a sparsely
settled region on the cape. “There’s
no such place on my road map.”
The man whom he addressed first
took a leisurely survey of the traveler
and his horse and then turned his eyes
toward the weather beaten sign which
bore the single word “Tolplm,”
“That ain’t a name.” he said, with
dignity; “it’s jest an Indication. It
means, ‘To Long Pond one mile.’
“It’s plain enough to folks from near

we don’t reckon on strangers taking

OLD SHERMAN AS CONQUEROR
The Portland, Me., Express
speaks of General Sherman’s “con
quering march to the sea.” Yes,
he conquered or captured negroes,
mules, horses, cattle, hogs and
chickens, and everything else that
his soldiers needed or wanted, adds
the Savannah Press, byway of
comment. “He also “conquered”
some old men and non-combatants,
as well as many women aud chil
dren who were helpless against
his vandals. That was the sort
of “conquering inarch” he made,
and the less said of it by Northern
people the better.”

P- 7,\ IT A7Zf A M INSIDIOUS FOE
TO HEALTH
Malaria is an atmospheric poison which we unconsciously breathe into
our lungs thror Ci the impure air arising from low, marshy places, stagnant
ponds, damp cellars, sewer pipes, improperly ventilated houses, decaying
vegetable mat. _r, etc. Day after day these germs and poisons are taken into
the lungs, and as the blood passes through them it becomes infected with the
poison and in its circulation distributes the microbes of disease to all parts
of the body. Malaria is a very insidious disease ;it gives no warning of its
coming until the circulation is filled with the poison and this foe to° health
has the system at its mercy. The blood becomes polluted, thin an 1 weak and
its slow, irregular circulation fails to properly nourish and strengthen the
body. _ Then the entire system is attacked, and if the germs and poisons of
Malaria are allowed to remain the strongest constitution will break down.
No one can feel well when the system is in a malarial condition; the vitality
is weak, the appetite poor, digestion deranged, the complexion grows
sallow ar.u tae entire oody feels the effects of t.ie poison. Malaria must be
removed from the system through the circulation and the onlv medicine that
can accomplish this is S. ,S. S. It not only cleanses the blood of all unhealthy,
morbid matter, but destroys the germs, cures Malaria and restores this vital

Womans Kidney Troubles
Lydia E. PinKham’s Vegetable Compound is Espe
cially Successful in Curing This Fatal
Disease.
ffihi Mrs. J. U/. Lany and /Ylrs- S- Frahe
Os all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, chronic
kidney disease is the most fatal. In
fact, unless early and correct treatment
is applied, the weary patient seldom
survives.
•Being fully aware of this, Lydia
E. Pinkham, early in her career, gave
exhausive study to the subject, aud in
producing her great remedy for
woman's ills Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound—was careful to
see that it contained the correct combi
nation of herbs ivhich was sure to con
trol that fatal disease, woman's kidney
troubles. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound is the only one espe
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
derangements by it. Derangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing-down pains,
scalding or burning sensations or de
posits in the urine, unusual thirst,
swelling of hands and feet, swelling
under the eyes or sharp pains in the
back, running through the groin, she
may infer that her kidneys are affected
and should lose no time in combating
the disease with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, the woman's
remedy for woman's ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.
Mrs. Samuel Frake, of Prospect
Plains, N. J., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
I cannot thank you enough for what Lydia
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compoum
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done
for me. When I first wrote to you I had suf
fered for years with what the doctor called
kidney trouble and congestion of the female
organs. My back ached dreadfully all the time,
and I suffered so with that bearing-down feel
inglcould hardly walk across the room. Idid
not get any better, so decided to stop doctoring
with my physician and take Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound and I am thank
ful to say it has entirely cured me. Ido all
my own work, have no more backache and
all the bad symptoms have disappeared.
I cannot praise your medicine enough, and
would advise all women suffering with kidney
trouble to try it.
Mrs. J. W. Lang, of 626 Third Ave
nue, New York, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
I have been a great sufferer with kidney
trouble. My back ached all the time and I
was discouraged. I heard that Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound would cure
kidney disease, and I began to take it; and it
has cured me when everything else had failed.
I have recommended it to lots of people and
they all praise it very highly.
Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing: In
vitation.
Women suffering from kidney
trouble, or any form of female weak
ness, are invited to promptly communi
cate with Mrs. Pinkham. at Lynn,
Mass. The present Mrs. Pinkham is
the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pink
ham, her assistant before her decease,
and for twenty-five year? since her
advice has been freely given to sick
women. Out of the great volume of ex
perience which she has to draw from,
it is more than likely she has the very
knowledge that will help your case.
Her advice is free and always helpful,
