If jon thick we do not treat

If you could got just what you
wanted, what would become of

Mr. James Lee lias purchased
the Warrenton Clipper. The
paper is edited by Miss Maidie
Lee.
Editor Sid Lewis writes like
a man who has been dieting on
gourd vine soup and led gully
water.
The “black hand appeared to

the election on the franchise
question in Maryland.
We sympathize with Editor
Charles Toney, of the Campbell
News. His plant was destroyed
by tire one night last week.
The devil always shows his
head when you are not looking
his way. But Who wants to tee

Editor Davenport, of Union
Point, is publishing poetry on

Some oue should get up and
thank the recent candidates all
over the country for not claim¬
ing that the “gold standard”
was in great danger.
The Southern Field, of Ath
ens, T. Larry Gantt’s new
paper, is on our exchange table.
It is a niagniticeut paper, and it
would lie hard to find a better
one of its kind anywhere.
The “Clansman” may be all
that is claimed for it, but we be
lieve a minister soils his cloth

for a minister is in the pulpit.
It is singular how opportuni¬

Hoke Smith reminds us of

CHANGE OF OPINION.
After Ltudying the Question,
Shippers Oppose Govern¬
ment Rate Waking.
Washington, I). C., Oct. 13.—
Public officers here have been as¬
tonished the past few months at
the wonderful change in public
sentiment over the country on the
subject of regulating railroad
rates
It is. a remarkable fact that
nearly every convention which
has acted in any way on the rail¬
way rate question the past six
months, has gone on record gainst
the principle of the Esch-Town
serin bill, which measure was in¬
tended to give the Inerstate Com¬
merce Com mission power to make
rates for them. They prefer to
negotiate direct with the traffic
officials of the railroads.
Everybody wants the rebating
stopped, except the few who have
been getting the rebates. The
railrodes join with the shipper in
asking Congress to strengthen the
laws against unjust discrimin ¬
ation if the laws need strengthen¬
ing. But when it comes to plac¬
ing the power to make rates for
the whole country in the hands of
a few men, two thirds or more of
t he regular shippers object.
They fear that the Commission
will get the whole rate situation
so mixed up and tangled that
great confusion will result and
that many of them will lose mar¬
kets which they now have.
The opposition by the business
interest to the government
making rates is so strong, that it
is predicted the senate bill will be
ia -the main from
„he Esch-townsend bill. Two of
the hardest [setbacks to the gov
eminent rate-making plan have
beeu the opposition of the Nat
Every

Physicians te>ll us that all
the blood in a healthy
human body passes through
the heart once in every two
minutes. If this action be¬
comes body irregular the whole
suffers. Poor health
follows poor blood ; Scott’s
Emulsion makes the blood
pure. One reason why
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
is such a great aid is because
it passes so quickly into
the blood. It is partly di¬
gested before it enters the
stomach ; a double advan¬
tage in this. Less work,
for the stomach; quicker
and more direct benefits.
To get the greatest amount
of good with the least pos¬
sible effort is the desire of
everyone in poor health.
Scott’s Emulsion does just
that. A change for the
better takes place even be¬
fore you expect it.
We will send you a

picture in the form of
a label is on the wrap¬
per of every bottle of
Emulsion you buv.

South Georgia S3
Offers greater inducements to the homeseekar than any other section of the
Union. It is a section where one can farm every month in tha year, and
where people do not depend upon a single crop fora living. A greater di
Aersity of crops can be grown than in any ofTruit yther section—corn, cotton, oats,
rye, rice, sbgar cane, melons, all kinds an d vegetables. The soil is
ezceedingly fertile, the temperature, summer and winter, perfect, the rainfall
ample for all purposes, fuel auundant, building material cheap, offering the
greatest agricultural inducements. The land is level and free from rocks
easily cuhivated, and two crops can be produced in a year. Hundreds of
North Georgia and Carolina farmeis have within the past few years settled in
South Georgia and are realizing the advantages of that section. There are
thousands of acres of unimproved farm lands, convenient to railroad and
market, which can be bought leorn $3 to $10 per acre. The Feorgia? Georgia South¬
ern and Florida Railway runs through the center of South and its
