THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1902.
TOOMER’S REPORT.
FOR HIS MOTHER'S SAKE.
Chairman W. M. Toomer cf Iho peci-! There is a pretty little story as to
tentiarv committee of the house has : Governor Crane's reason for refusiuc
submitted a report on the condition of a place in President Roosevelt's ca> i
The reason assigned by the gov-
the convict camps and the penitentiary
eystem of tho state which reflects much
credit on the Prison Commission.
Following is his report:
•‘To the speaker of the house of re-
eruor was illness in his family and in-
ahi'i’y to arrange his affairs on short
notice.
It is said the real reason was tho
presentatives: Mr. Speaker: Your unwillingness of Governor Crane to
ceuera committee on penitentiary, as ..
- - - leave his mother, who is very old, and
ri .|iiired by law, and through its van-
oua sub-committees has made careful
annual examination and inspection
of the entire ftlony convict system of
this state.
“iVe feel that the aot creating our
present system of felony management
ami control was framed in wisdom aud
has been executed with exact justice to
the state and the convicts of this class.
We find that the fund appropriated by
that act and since appropriated have
been economically and wisely expend
ed; that the regulations framed aod en-
who does not wish to go to Washing
ton to live. When sho was asked if
she wanted her son to become a mem
ber of the cabinet she said she did not,
and that settled it.
After all, conld a dntifnl son have
done less? The honors of office are
but baubles, and not to be compared
with a mother’s love. Men are too
prone to forget the old folks in the
struggle for place and power. It is re-

ion as is consistent with humane treat
ment and proper punishment
"We commend to the gratitude of
the people of Georgia the distinguish
cd chairman of the prison commission
and his associates and assistants on
that board, and as well the physicians,
captains and guards m the state ser
vice, who have exercised the control
which this state properly reserves over
kor felony convicts. Respectfully sub
mitted.
"W. M. TOOMER.
"Chairman General Oommitteeon Pen
itentiary.”
The commission is composed of an
able body of men, all of whom have
performed their dnties faithfully. Hon.
Tom Eason, the well known Prison Com
missioner, is a eandidate for re-election
and thongh there has been some talk
of opposition, as yet there have been
no snnonneements against him and the
Times-Becorder does not think there
will be any,for there is not a more pop
ular man in all Georgia than Tom Eason,
besides he has discharged his dnties on
the commission in a manner acceptable
to all and ta always at his post. He is a
yanng man, and has been very success
fal in state politics, and the man who
tries to oust him from his present job is
going to have a hard time. Mark the
prediction of the Times-Becorder.
EXIT, HISTORIAN MACLAY.
If President Roosevelt never accom
plishes anything else in his official life
to merit attention ho hss won a whole
people's imperisliing gratitude by hoot
ing Edgar Maclay from the navy de
partment. The deerco has gone forth
that this miserable puppet has linished
his day of usefulness and is expected
to“tender bis resignation as storekeep
er of the Brooklyn naval yard.”
Maclay was tho instrument-elect to
foist Sampson’s olaims on the public
and pull down the fair name of Schley.
He stigmatized the man who crushed
Spanish oppression forever, as a
“coward.” His penny-a-line-screed
would not have caused a ripple hns it
uot borne tho stamp of offloial approval
—approval from high places in the gov
ernment. This man, whom God bad
endowed with some modicnm of ability
to write, was given tbe task of mould
ing an official history of the American
navy.
Tho whole miserable plot has proven
a boomerang that promises to knock
down more than Maclay on its return.
The country’s protest for Maelay's
scalp was too strong, sad be was sacri
ficed. He mnst get ont for good andall.
There yet remain, however, the arch-
conspirators. They are not secure in
their tenure. They tremble at the retri
bution that is snrely stalking them to
tho oblivion which has swallowed np
their poor cat’s paw, Historian Maclay.
Bpoed the day when tbe whole nest of
them will be tumbled ont. — Romo
Tribnne.
The Washington Post (Ind.) says;
•‘Wo trust no Southern congressman
will bo so rnde as to introduce a reso
lution of inquiry concerning tho treat
ment Booker Washington recoivcd at
the hands of the Massachusetts tavern
keepers.”
Order is heaven’s first law, but it is
tbe disorder on earth that onsb'ce the
lawyers to get three square meals a
day.
Sneh a beantifnl collection of star,
ling silver is rarely seen ontaide tbe
cities as that now displayed at Friok-
er’s.
“H nor tby father and thy mother
is one of the most beautiful laws ever
written, suit it should be so deeply
engraved upon the heart that neither
age, nor ambition, nor desire for
wealth can obliterate it.—Atlanta Con-
Bti ution.

CANCER
Suffcrcro from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it—not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer-olten run!
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood foi
years, or until you reach middle life, ther
the first little sore or nicer mahes its np
pcarancc — or a swollen gland in th<
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood—every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep-
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this
When all the poison has been forced oul
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in a small way, os the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows
A small pimple came on my Jaw about an inct
below the caron the left side of my face. It gav.
me no pain or luconven-
eince. and I should have
forgotten ctwut it had it
not begun to Inflame and
itch; Tt would bleed a
little, then scab over, but
would not heal. This
continued for some time,
when my jaw began to
swell, becoming very
painful. The Cancer be
gan to eat ind spread,
until it was a* large as a
half dollar.whci I heard
of 8. l>. 8. r*ad detrrir.in-
ed to give it ft fair trial,
and it was jemarkahle
what a w*>~dcrful effect
it had from the verv beginning; the sore began ft
