AMERICTJB, GA JUNE 1, 1906.
Congress is not ready to decide
the isthmian canal level, and this
is one of the questions in which a
request for more time is prudent.
Dig dirt, but dig it right.
An English novelist, Wells, has
found much to admire in the
United States. This is so unusual
in an English novelist it is worth
setting down in pages of fact.
Texas has five candidates for
Governor, and Georgia has five.
The campaign in Texas is compar
atively quiet, but the same old
thing has broken loose in Georgia.
A new $7,000,000 railroad is to
be constructed between ()klahoma,
Texas and the gulf. The south
west keeps its place steadily at the
head of the national ratios of
growth.
The candidatal battle cry is now
echoing along the line in south
west Georgia. Howell in Randolph.
Estill in Dougherty and Russell
in Terrell linked three counties
togetheron Wednesday.
In its desperation and mad hunt
for fakes and rot, the Atlanta Jour
nal attempted to have its Hoke
ljnched by negroes at Darien. The
negroes of that town were doubless
surprised when they heard of the
campaign prevarication.
The blood of English royalty
flows on in Russia, Germany and
now in Spain. Mistress of the
seas, Brittania also is mistress of
many royal households. But if
these ties of blood make for the
peace of the world, the world can
afford to applaud. ,
Twenty-nine states will elect
Governors and other state officers
this year. The first of these elec
tions, that of Oregon, will be held
on June 4. Arkansas follows next
with a state election on Sept. 1.
Then comes Vermont on Sept. 4,
Maine on Sept. 10, Georgia on Oct.
5 and Kentucky on Xov. 4
Mrs. Howard Gould of New
York, who lives in luxury aud
wealth, in a mansion that cost
seven million dollars, has a sister,
Miss Ella Clemens, in San Francis
co, who sells papers for a living,
lives in a hovel, but is devoting
her life to charitable deeds, when
ever she can serve the poor and
suffering.
BENEATH DIGNITY OF A JURIST
Judge Reagan of the Flint cir
cuit declares that if he has got to
go over his circuit and ask person
ally every man to vote for him he
does not want the office. Judge
Reagan considers this beneath the
dignity of a jurist, and he is quite
right in his conclusions. But were
the Judge a politician and a hus
tler for a job, for congress, for in
stance, he would view the case dif
ferently or get out of the game.
Aspiring congressmen have to root
.11 over the district, and the prom
ises they make include the keys to
the gates of paradise, free seeds
from the garden of Eden, and even
the crown of thorns if their con
stituents ask it.
“Free”
For the next 10 days. I will cut monograms and
do embossing free.

CONGRESS IS KEEPING AWAKE
Several measures of much con
sequence are still before one or
both branches of Congress. The
pure-food bill and the Philippine
measure have each passed one
branch, and a strong effort is being
made to put them through the oth
er. This is likely to succeed.
Neither branch has yet fixed upon
the type of canal for Panama, but
the matter is so urgent that they
are likely to act before the session
ends. The Santo Domingo treaty
is still before the Senate, aud an
endeavor will be made, when two
or three more of the large measures
are out of the way, to secure final
action. Something definite for
Santo Domingo is demanded, eith
er ratification or rejection. The
free alcohol bill went through the
House by a vote of 222 to 7, and
has passed the Senate without a
division. By a virtually unani
mous vote the rate-regulation bill
went through each chamber. The
1 )emocrats made a good deal of op
position to the statehood bill in the
form in which it passed the House.
The bill was altered in an impor
tant degree in the Senate. But
its essential part will be enacted.
(fklahoma and Indian Territory
I will be admitted as the state of
Oklahoma, which is the important
part of the measure. This will be
sent to the President long before
the end of the session. For the
Fourth of July the people of the
twin territories are arranging to
have a jollification in commemmo
ration of their approaching hon
ors. No postponement of the af
fair will be necessary. Oklahoma
and its neighbor are about to write
the forty-sixth star on the Hag, and
jubilations for them will be in or
der on the Fourth.
SOLICITOR OF FLINT CIRCUIT
Senator Benjamin L. Tisinger, of
Upson, has announced to the peo
ple of Flint circuit that he would
be a candidate for solicitor-general
and is now receiving many assur
ances of support from prominent
men all over the circuit. He is
one of the leading attorneys in the
state and is known as a lawyer of
great ability. He will doubtless
win by a good vote. The Times-
Recorder truly hopes that Mr. Tis
inger will win, for it is high time
that the people of the Flint cir
cuit should select for this high and
responsible office a man worthy of
their respect and confidence.
ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE HOUSE
A determined effort is to be
made to capture the next House
for the Democrats. The tariff
should figure largely as a campaign
issue. By the way, too few of the
younger campaign speakers are
adequately informed on the tariff
question. Sufficient knowledge to
intelligently discuss it cannot be
acquired off hand. It is a ques
tion to be studied. Not many
speakers can make an intelligent
speech on the tariff, and no ques
tion needs to be more generally
understood.
Puzzled.
“Are you the proprietor this res

“Yes, sir. What can Ido for you?”
“You can give me some information,
I want to know whether you have told
the waiter to stay away so that you
can bring in a bill for lodgings against
me?”

THE RECORD CROP OF COTTON
The world's cotton crop in 1904
was the largest there is record of,
aggregating jost short of 20.000,-
000 bales of 500 pounds gross. Its
large si/e was due to the fact that
there was included therein the crop
of 1904 growth of the United
States, which aggregated 13,438,-
012 bales. The American crop
made up 07 per cent, or about •
two thirds of the world’s yield.
The figures of yield for five years
past would seem to indicate more
clearly than ever before that the
United States is still the unques
tioned source of the great supply
of the world’s cotton. The rest of
the world grows slightly more each
year, perhaDS, but the increase in
consumption is apparently greater
than the gain in other countries’
production. In 1900 the United
States produced G3.G per cent, of
all the cotton raised. In 1901 and
1902 the proportion fell to. GO per
cent., in 1903 it was 59.2 per cent.,
but in 1904, with a full American
crop, it was G7 per cent.

Tl:e following simple method of keep
ing ice water in a common pitcher is
worth knowing: Put a layer of cotton
batting between two sheets of wrap
, ping paper three inches higher than
the pitcher. Fasten the ends of the
paper and batting together, forming a
, circle. Taste a cover over one end of
the batting and paper. This cover, j
when over a pitcher, must come close
1 to the stand and so exclude the air,
, and ice will keep a long time. This
paper cover will be found of great
service in a sickroom for both milk
and water pitchers.

CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON
THE WORST DISEASE HI THE WORLD
Contagious Blood Poison is the worst disease in the world; not only
those who contract it suffer, but the awful taint is often transmitted to inno
cent offspring whose lives are blighted and bodies diseased because the
virus of Contagious Blood Poison has been allowed to remain in the family
blood. Ihe first sign of this disease I contracted Contagions Blco4 !?r>’ r Tn
