'/he ivuilidicy of Co.. J. E. Saep-
art!, senator-elect from the Thlr-
. teenth district, for Che presidency oi
,he next Georgia senate, is making
.:x-:i t headway, in all parts of toe
state 'friends of Col. Sheppard aro
zealously at work in his behalf, as-
/juranccs of support have been r;-
, reived from a number of sources, and
-■ he outlook grows more promising ev-
• cry day.
The candidacy of Col. Sheppard ap
peals with particular force to the
. .treat belt of country generally re-
:■ >:jo>d to as South Georgia, the section
■ ;ij•!!, has moved forward with such
east strides in recent years, and
which at some not distant day wni
awake to its power and assume a dom-
-nent position in Georgia's political af
fairs.
Every day brings letters to the
Sumter candidate from influential men
in various counties of thtis section,
- expressing their intention to do all in
their power to promote his candidacy.
“it is time South Georgia asserted
itself in a political way more than It
. has done in the past,” said one oi
these corresjiondents, in a letter re
ceived yesterday. “North Georgia has
bad the two iast presidents of the
rscnate, and it is time for the honor to
- come to South Georgia. For this rea-
t son I will support you."
Slaton, of Atlanta, and Aiken, of Car
ters viilt, were the two last presiding
offloers of the senate. As the writer
of the letter referred to says, it is
time now for South Georgia to have
• the naming of the man.
Speaking of this feature of the can
didacy of Col. Sheppard, a local friend
of that gentleman yesterday said that
ne did not believe that in the last thir
ty years South Georgia had had. the
presidency of the sen*tc over about
three or four times.
■'.'The next administration will have
« a'governor from North Georgia,” cou
rt: aimed ;he. “The two candidates for
=-t speaker of the house, Holder, of Jack
son, and Burwell, of Hancock, are
' from North Georgia, and Slaton, the
candidate opposing Sheppard, hails
from Atlanta. This 1s somewhat of a
hogging of thie honors that SoutrGeor-
■: pgia-would be justified in resenting. But
..aside from territorial considerations,
bSnmtor and South Georgia’s candidate
dBiaman who will fill the position wiir
■credit to the entire state, and he
should have the solid backing of all of
the .-counties south of a line from Au-
rgusia to Columbus.”
Col. Sheppard is not seeking on’?
.South Georgia votes, though. Several
crates me already assured him from
'"btonh Georgia and he Is placing hl»
1 candidacy squarely before every sen
ator-elect in the state. As stated, the
'letters that are coming to him from
■ All sections are highly encouraging
.in their character and with a year
' before him in which to work up his
• - •sandidney there is every reason to be
lieve that this section will carry off
the prize when the next legislature as
sembles.
Assurances of support are coming
from bath Smith and Brown men. Es
pecially is this true of Smith Georgia,
■vrere the feeling is running high
than ever that North Georgia Im suc
ceeded in eudhreing South Georgia
■ mt of all political honors in the pas:
by encouraging factional differences
in this section khile it coolly appro-
. .: eiriated everything in sight.

Merchants here have all returned
from market, and all are hopeful ot

sonally, and what I learn from other
sources, I am of tile opinion that no;
less tr.'an $250,000 is to come to Ameri
cas, or Sumter county, in payment of
land deals, between now and the clos:
of the year. This money takes up pa
pers given in payment of lands, or
completes negotiations on which lib
eral options have been paid.
'■There are three transactions f
know of," continued the banker, “in
which approaching $100,000 is in
volved, that are to be settled up this
fall, no information of which has yet
been given to the public, altfiough thi
parties are' all responsible. Three
lar^e plantations are involved in these
three deals. These payments, ar.d
other similar payments, should fill the
treasuries of the banks for the time
being and help to ease up the financial
situation. The interested local parties
will not have any immediate use fo
the money and It will.remain at work
for them in the local banks.”

There is only one way Ut cure deaf

inflamed condition or the mucous lin

this tube i.s inflamed you have a rumb

when it is entirely closed. Deafness
is the rehult, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear

cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an Inflamed con
