Without a debauchery fund the

It is sarcastically remarked that

The discussion as to who swal

A whale in the harbor caused
tremendous excitement at Charles

the town would have thirty-two

Judge Fite of Dalton says he
would not send a woman to jail for
parlor gambling,but he would send
a man. All this because of a
progressive euchre party with a
little gold pin prize at tho end.
Schwab, the steel trust magnate,
says that overcapitalization is the
result of the belief that “the United

evidently is for the promoters.
They have nearly got it fenced in.
When you see a big advertisment
offering to lot you in on a gold

Georgia, with millions in it, put
your money in Americus saving

The Schley County News intim
ates that the “moss backs” of
Americus will have to move out of
town or get run over. We hope to
educate them into progressive

“moss backs” here.

A German critic puts his linger

of the poorer classes.
Judge Pendleton of Atlanta be
lives that the increasing tendency ;
among Southern whites to divorce*
is due to the growth of commer !
cialism and the influx of new
comers. This may be partly the f
cause, but behind it all is the lack j
of proper moral training and self
restraint- amonng the young.
The Atlanta Journal has its big!

the Southern. It threatens him ?
with the civil and the criminal law, I

Finley delivers the greater the'
criminal he appears in the eyes of,
the Journal.
SHALL HE BE SENATOR ROOSE
VELT?
There are outcropping of an
evidently sincere desire on the
part of many prominent men in
New York state, hi <i throughout (
the country, to see President
Roosevelt sent to the Senate from
New York state when his present
term of office expires. Every once
in a while some paper publishes
a sympi sinm, giving the views ot
public men as to the president s
future, and it is rare, indeed, that
the majority of them do not express
the hope that the country, and the
republican party, will secure the
benefit of his experience and ser
vices in the Senate.
Collier’s Weekly is the latest to
lend stress to this view of the
president’s future. The term of
Platt the utterly discredited and
disgraced Platt —expires on the
day the presidential term ends,
and between now and then there
will be a ceaseless wirepulling to
land favorite candidates in his seat.
If Roosevelt is to be his successor
his friends must do some effective
work between now and then.
With the journals of the state
heading an agitation for his elec
tion his chances would doubtless
be the best of any man in the
state.
In the symposium referred to,
it is noticeable that democrats and
republicans alike believe that
Roosevelt’s election to the Senate
would be a good thing for the
country. Democrats doubtless
think that with his views on the
railroad and other questions of
great pressing public importance
Roosevelt would be as valuable an
addition to their side of the Sen
ate as to the republican cohorts.
The Republican senators profess to
be exceedingly desirous that he be
added to their number, but this
may be merely an exhibition of
policy on their part. To flatter the
king is the wisest policy.
After serving in the presidency
John Quincy Adams served many
years in the House of Represta
tives. It is not at all unlikely that
Theodore Roosevelt will do the
same in the Senate.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
Contains Mercury.
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering It
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physicians
and the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by P. J. Cheney & Co., To
iedo, 0., contains no mercury, and is
taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surface of the
system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure

THE COURSE OF WISDOM
A special to the Savannah Morn
ing News from Atlanta says the
railroad representatives left the
recent meeting of the Commission
somewhat disconsolate, feeling
assured that a reduction in the
passenger rate was inevitable and
that it might be to two cents.
The suggestion has been made,
and it appears to be a good one,
that the railroads would strengthen
themselves in the public confidence
by meeting the public half way in
this matter of reduced passenger
rates.
The feeling is strong throughout
the state that with the vast increase
in business of the past ten years
the four great railroad systems
traversing Georgia can well afford
to reduce the passenger tariff. A
drop to two cent a mile, or a one
third reduction,is doubtless entire
ly too radical, but a concession of
one-half cent in the rate, a drop
from three to two and a half cents
a mile, would probably satisfy the
public for some years to come and
do much to relieve the existing
tension and restore that era of good
feeling which is so necessary for
the prosperity and progress of the
railroads.
There is hardly a doubt but that
from now on there will be a more
stringent regulation of railroads,in
common with other corporations,
and a tendency to scale down their
charges to the point of reasonable
returns only. A mutual spirit of
forbearance should be cultivated
as much as possible and every
eft'ort should be made by the lead
ers of the railroads and of the pub
lic to avoid clashes that can only
serve to intensify the unfortunate
spirit of antagonism to corporations
that lias been awakened during
the past year, or two.
If it is possible for the railroads
to run on a two and a half cent
basis, and secure a reasonable re
turn on their investment, it would
seem the course of wisdom to
grant it rather than have it forced
upon them by the irresistible force
of popular agitation and public
demand.

C C C OUR RECORD
ID. V, 40 YEARS OF CURES
The value of S. S. S. as a blood purifier has been thoroughly proven by
Its forty 3'ea.rs of successful service in the treatment of blood and skin dis
eases of every character. It is the best known and most generally used
blood medicine on the market today, because in the forty years of its exist
ence it has not disappointed those who have used it, and a3 a result of its
universal success in curing disease it has made friends EVERYWHERE.
It has been on the market for forty years, and. its record in that time
is one of which we are justly proud—it is a record of forty years of
cures. As a remedy for Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers,
Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison and all diseases arising from an
impure or poisoned condition of the blood, S. S. S. has no equal. It goes
nto the circulation and thoroughly cleanses it of all impurities and makes a
complete and lasting cure of these troubles and disorders. It furnishes to
weak, polluted blood, rich, health-giving and health-sustaining qualities,
and as this pure, fresh stream circulates through the system, all parts of the
body are invigorated and made strong and health}'. S. S. S. is the only
blood medicine on the market that can claim absolute freedom from minerals
in any form. This great medicine is the product of nature’s forests and
fields, and is made from the healing, cleansing juices and extracts of roots,
herbs and barks. It is, therefore, in addition to being a certain cure for
blood troubles, an absolutely safe medicine for young or old. It is not an
experiment to use S. S. S.; it is a remedy with a record and one that lia9
proven its worth and ability by its forty years of cures. If you need a blood
remedy begin the use of S. S. S., and write our physicians and they will send
you a book concerning your trouble, and will give you. without charge, any
medical advice. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CQ*, ATLANTA, GA.
