The Macon News thinks that to a man up a tree it would seem that the packing house scandals are do ing a great deal towards vindicat ing the position of General Miles in regard to embalmed beef during the Spanish war period. Candidate Hoke Smith has ac cepted the invitation of Candidate Clark Howell to a joint debate in Atlanta on Friday night next, and the ‘‘Second Battle of Columbus’ 7 will thus be fought upon chosen ground familiar to both combatants. It will cost Colonel Gaynor and Captain Greene over $7,500 to have their writ of error transcribed so that it will be in shape for the circuit court of appeals. The pub lished statement that this work would not be undertaken is un founded. The people of the Fourth con gressional district appreciate fully the services rendered by their rep resentative, Hon. W. C, Adamson, and, on Saturday next, at Warm Springs, will nominate him for an other term. Congressman Adam son is one of Georgia’s ablest rep resentatives and will continue to represent the Fourth for many years yet. THE POPULISTS TO ASSEMBLE J.'J, Holloway, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Peo ples Party of Georgia, has sent out a call for a meeting to be held in Atlanta on Thursday, June 14. The call goes on to say that “mat ters of vital importance to our par ty will be considered.” It looks as if there is to be a state ticket nominated. Former State Senator Yancey Carter was in Atlanta a short time ago. He said it looked as if no self respecting man, who was not bound hand and foot by the'old party could vote the Dem ocratic ticket with the conditions imposed. At that time he threw out the hint that a full ticket would be nominated and put in the field. He expressed the belief that the Populists would be victorious. PICKED AGAIN FOR A W.NNER From his home in Ireland, Kich ard Croker, once the Tammany boss, is quoted:as saying: “I think Roosevelt is bound to be renomi nated and re-elected. His actions show that he is more in the fight today than he ever was, Nothing can get him out of it. If opposi tion arises to him in the Repub lican party I should, if I were at home, favor his nomination by the Democratic National convention, as the situation stands today.” Mr. Croker evidently puts little faith in the solemn and emphatic declaration of the President made on the evening of Nov. 8 1904 when he said: “Under no cir cumstances will Ibe a candidate for or accept another nomination.” He repeated that declaration in Chicago months afterward. No President of the United States could afford to make such a state ment and then repudiate it by word or action. It is beyond recall and binds Mr. Roosevelt as effectively as if it were a constitutional pro vision. “Free” For the next 10 days. I will cut monograms and do embossing free.

TED AND THE BAD, BAD MAN On one occasion we asked the President, w rites John Burroughs in the Atlantic Monthly, if he was ever molested by any of the “bad men” of the frontier, with w hom he had often come in contact. “Only once,” he said. The cow boys had always treated him with the utmost courtesy, both on the roundup and in camp; “and the few real desperadoes I have seen were also perfectly polite.’ ’ Once only was he maliciously shot at, and then not by a cowboy nor a bona fide “bad man,” but by a broad-hatted ruffian of a cheap and commonplace type.” He had been compelled to pass the night at a little frontier hotel w here the barroom occupied the whole low er floor and was, in con sequence, the only place the guests of the hotel, whether drunk or so ber, had to sit. As he entered the room, he saw that every man there was being terrorized by a half drunken ruffian who stood in the middle of the floor w ith a revolver in each hand, compelling different ones to treat. “I went and sat down behind the stove,” said the President, “as far from him as I could get; and hoped to escape * his notice. The fact that I wore glasses, to gether with my evident desire to avoid a fight, apparently gave him the impression that I could be imposed upon witn impunity. He very soon approached me, flour ishing his two guns, and ordered me to treat. I made no reply for some moments, when the fellow be cams so threatening that I saw something had to be done. “The crowd, mostly sheep-herd ers and small grangers, sat or stood back against the wall, afraid to move. I was unarmed, and thought rapidly. Saying, “Well if I must, I must, I got up as if to walk around him to the bar, then, as I got opposite him, wheeled and fetched him as heavy a blow' on the chimpoint as I could strike. He went down like a steer before the ax, firing both guns in to the ceiling as he went. I jumped upon him, and, with my knees up on his chest, disarmed him in a hurry. “The crowd was then ready enough to help me, and we hog tied him and put him in an out house.” The President alludes to this incident in his “Ranch Life,” but does not give the details. ' THE PLANET MERCURY. (.ike Venus riml For I.ike Cause, It I* Now a Head World. Mercury is a body devoid, practical ly if not absolutely, of air, of water and of vegetation. Consequently it is Incapable of supporting any of those higher organisms which we know as living beings. Its surface is a vast desert. It is rough rather than smooth. Whether this roughness be due to mountains proper or to craters we are too far away from it to be able yet to say. The latter is the more probable. Over the, greater part of its Mil-face change either diurnal or sea sonal is unknown. Three-eighths of its surface is steeped in perpetual glare, tliree-ei.uhths shrouded in perpetual gloom, while the remaining quarter slowly turns between the two. The planet itself, as a world, is dead. Interesting as Mercury thus proves to be, the interest as regards the plan et itself is ts a rather corpselike char acter. Less deterrent perhaps is the interest it possesses as a part of the life history of the solar system, for tidal friction, the closing act in the cosmic drama, 'lias brought it where it is. The machine has run down. Whcfijer it ever supported life upon its surface or not, the power to do so has now forever passed away. Like Venu? and for Tike cause. It is now a dead world. Amd it was the first thus to reach the end of its evolutionary ca reer, earlier to do so than Venus, in asmuch as tidal action was very much greater upon it than on Venus and con sequently produced its effect more quickly. Mercury has long been dead. How long, measured by centuries, we cannot say, but practically for a very long time. Venus must have become so comparatively recently. Both, how ever, now have finished their course and have in a most literal sense enter ed into their rest. CAR-GOL An absolute specific and anti-septlc prep aration for all kinds of o SORE THROAT.

MORE MONEY WILL BE NEEDED According to the news dispatch es from Washington the Confeder ate roster committee of Georgia has run into a Stonewall in Wash ington. In the effort to get the completed rolls from the govern ment war department, Governor Terrell wrote to find out the cost of securing some 45 companies. No one is allow ed to go into the record departments and copy this work, but it is done there, and charges made by the department. When the reply came back that the 45 rolls would cost Georgia $11,960, the committee almost tainted. Then they cut the list dow n more than half, and asked w hat would be the price on j ust the more important ones. When the answer came back that this lit tle job could be done for the re markably cheap price of $7,060, the commission had a fit. That is as much as it has cost for all the work done on the Confederate rec ords of the state to date. The ros ter commission will meet this morning when the matter will be discussed. They haven’t the money to do this needed work now and if the records are secured from Washington a special appropria tion will have to be secured from the general assembly. The Waycross Herald says that a four-paged Democratic paper in South Georgia publishing eight columns of Tom Watson’s rot is a sight it never expected to see. HORSESHOE NAILS. The Way They Are Turned Out by Expert Workmen. Three million separate shoe nails are often east from a ton of metal. Os the smaller sizes 2,000 nails are molded in a slugle mold, and an expert workman will make eighty molds in an ordinary working day, thus turrdng out IGO.OOO separate nails. When the metal in a liquid state is poured into the mold it runs through the sand in passages provided in the molding process. The whole of the nails are cast together and are, when removed from the sand, connected by a network of iron one with another. In tliis condition the iron is as brittle as glass, and very little force is ie quired to separate the nails from the network which holds them together. They then have to undergo the proc ess known as annealing. They are mixed up with hematite iron ore, which is in a powdered state, put into iron pots and- placed in an annealing fur nace, a sort of kiln. Here they remain for some days, care being taken to so regulate the heat to which they are subjected that the iron will not he re melted, but brought very nearly to that condition. The action of the raw iron I ore upon the brittle casting is marvel ous. After cooling it can be bent with out risk of breaking, and it becomes a useful and serviceable article. /kX\ ~ Plawflf Hg •, A Quart of Milk—a package of *. *. * *./*•*• Jell-O ICE CREAM Powder MV- • ■IO minutes in the freezer—and, Lo and Behold, as if mmmj ||||| I hy magic—two quarts of the most delicious lee Cream l||Jjr \ MU I you ever put into your mouth.

Las been one of the strongest points iu its favor during its forty years of existence. It is recognized everywhere not only as the best of all blood purifiers, but the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member of the family. Next in importance to removing the cause of any disease i ; the condition in which the system is left after a course of medical treatment. Medicines containing mercury, potash or other strong mineral ingredients often do permanent injury by eating out the delicate lining and tissues of the stomach, producing chronic dyspepsia, unfavorably affecting the bowels and so damaging the system that even if the original cause of the disease has been removed, it is left in such a deranged and weakened condition that Si,OOO REWARD the health is permanently impaired. S. S. S. enjoys the distinction of being the only blood |F EMOT* PURELY medicine on the market that does not contain ™ a mineral property in some form. Being made VE.G K. i AD L entirely of roots, herbs and barks it is absolutely harmless to any part of the system, and while curing disease adds .strength and health to every part of the body. S. S. S. removes all poisons, freshens and purifies the blood and gives better and more lasting results than any other blood medicine. S. S. S. is the very best treatment for Rheumatism, Catarrh. Scrofula. Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison and all troubles due to an impure or poisoned blood supply. _ Besides being the King of blood purifiers S. S.
