Most of the member of the present Georgia Legislature are mere “me too's” They about as their bossess. the loby lsts. instruct them. Georgia is short a legislature with brains and backbone. Poor old Georgia —Lyons Courier. There is one tiling about President McKinley says the Albany Herald, that all of us can admire, and that i« the love and veneration which he displays for his aged mother. It is a good son who ---puaiUUIJ Ul trust and honor that the American peo pie can bestow, always find time to be stow, though one of tbe busiest men alive, to try and make dear mother's last days comfortable and happy. Mr McKinley is a big man, but he's still his mothers boy, and our admir ation for him fas grown exceedingly after having seen the pains he lias taken to show his aged mother, in her last de dining days, that lie's just the same to her as w hen he climbed her knee in childhood. Why should not the people select all the judges, solicitors and kindred offi cials. Have not the people sense enough to know good men from had? If not, an era of corruption will he engendered thereby, then the power to elect those who are to rule over them should be taken from the people entirely, and p..w er l»e given to the legislature to elect the governor, county officers, etc. with right also, of choosing their own successors. To argue that the people are riot eoni| e tent to choose one class is to argue they are not competent to choose the other.~ Greensboro Herald Journal. Wei! really, from the press criticisms one would not think the de ar people had shown any great discrimination in electing a legislature.— Rome Georgia! i. The bill introduced yesterday by Senator Walker, of the 18th district to make wo :ien eligible to hold the of ♦ ices of county school comrnisioner and clerk of I lie road ard revenue cominis sions. may be a litt e in advance of the times as we find them in Geoigia, the bill is a good one. nevertheless, and we believe it should become a 'aw. The day has come when the women of our land who are obliged to their own wf v through the world should have < verv fair opportunity to do so. There is nothing in the work of these offices which women is not capi bie Ot doing and there is no reason why she should not have the chance to fip them. Many other states have throw n open the offl.-es of school commissioner and we lielieve that Georgia should do likewise.—Columbus Enquirer Sun. SSTh WHERE IS IT ‘Air Tom Watson Wants to Know What Has Become of His Party. Hon Tom Watson wants to know what has ttecome of the populist party. In a signed editorial in tire' last Bsue of the the People's Party Paper Mr Watson says: in Mary •; Will some zealous believer Ann Butler tell us what that eminent fraud has done with the People's party? Where was it during the recent elec tions? What rigure did it cut? What WhH its vo te? j n off-year elections after the presidential year of 1892 the People's party was intact, well organized, aggres sive. coherent and effective. It polled nearly two million populist votes, cast f‘>r populist candidates running upon populist platforms. From North to S<uth it was united, from east to west it knew but one doc trine and followed but one flag. Where is the party now? After noticing its defeat in many states Mr vVatson concludes in this language: “In Colorado how was it—Colorado where a few years ago a populist gov ernor ruled triumphant? Democrats nnd republicans united and routed the popu lists who had been torn into factions by tbe fusion of 1896. Our party in 1892-4-6 was growing in Virginia and Maryland, Where is it now? Done! Not a grease spot left in the pan. lu Kentucky how was it? Brave Joe fed the middle of th* road %h« brilli antly. but with Butler knifing him all , the , time . he was power less to make , headway. , , In Iowa how was it—the home of James B Weaver? Less than six tlious and populists remain, the others are dem ocratic in name, in policy, in principle and in organization, As populists they nave absolutely no separate existence. Tiie democrats have swallowed them •bodacously.’ So it is al 1 around. A magnificent party of two million men has disappear ed. It has been swallowed upas though the earth had opened and taken it in. Such annihilation has not been known since the earthquake of Lisbon. Will some zealous ButWrite pleas* tell us what that eminent fraud has done with the people's party? Has he lost it? Has he hid it? lias lie loaned it out? A Majority of the White Vote. It is gratifying to Mr. Walsh’s friends uiuiugi.uu, lhe coun try to learn fI he , at the recent eirr received a maio- white votes cast. e. uiat be would have been elected if the entire negro vote had been thrown out. This doubtless saved him from the unpleasant alternative resort ed to by Congressman Black, who re signed lather than accept a com mis sion secured by the methods resorted lo by his too zealous friends. Again we congratulate Mayor Walsh. A burden is lifted by the assurance alKive recited. We gladly make this announcement, because The Telegraph, while its sym pathies were with Mr. Walsh in the fight, condemned as sharply as it knew how the methods which prevailed in Augusta. Now let there be henceforth, there and elsewhere, white primaries. The good nan,e of Geor S' H and her people of the Caucasian race demand it. A re form, quick, sure, sweeping must come. We repeat: The way to relegate the purchasing of votes is to eliminate the purchasable votes.—Macon Telegraph. The Farm a Training School.

This medicine tones up the whole system; ««»«» a stimulant lo 'h^ live, neys, is a lilood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures constipation, headach#, fainting Hindis, sleeplessness and melancholy. It is purely vegetable a mild laxative and restores the system to its natu al vigor. Try Electric Bitters arid he convinced that they are a miracle worker. Every bottle guaranteed.

Like a spotless lily, growing in its quiet retreat.reced ing sunshine and showtris rendered un sightly by the rude touch of a thing passed by, so is that of the character of every one. Some hands know not how to touch them but to destroy and some tongues know not bow to speak but lo detile. These hands today offer gilts but tomorrow they wield a dagger. These tongues may whisper peace today, but tomorrow they speak forth words of woe and despair. The breath of such people is tainted w ith treachery and treason, and beware of them, for lolthey destioy you, marrow and bone.” THE GREATEST DISCOVERY YET. XV M Repine, editor Tiskilwa III. Cheif says; We won't keep house without King s Mew Discovery for consumption coughs and colds. Experimenting with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr King s New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place m onr home, as in it we liave a certain and sure cure for coughs, colds whooping cough, etc—It is idle to ex periment with other remedies even if tney are urged on you as just as good as Dr King's New Discovery. 'They are not as good because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guaranteed It never fails to sa\isfy.

But if we o'tke faces that ~ - - pwastug to us we shall common fv find that it is not fau-nessof complex ion or eveness of feature that we admire b it a merry smile, a kindly expression, a frank honest look—it is re lly tin character of the person expressed in the face which attracts us. But a face does not respond to the effort of the moment. It is a revelation of the habitual attitude of tbe soul. Thoreau says. “Any noble ness begins at once to refine a man *s features, any meanness or sensuality to ini brute them.” ONE OF;TWO WAYS. -- The bladder was created for one pur pose. namely, a receptacle for the urine and as such t is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from the imperfect action of the kidneys. The second wav is from careless local treatment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys is the cheif a .use of bladder trou bles. So the womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, and if net doctored too much is not liable to weak ness ov disease, except in rave cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys hack, bladder or urinary passage is often by mistake, attributed to female weak ness or wornhtrouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set, jour urine aside for twenty four hours;a sedi meut or settling indicates kidney *,r bladder trouble. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Dr Kilmers Swamp Root, the great kidney, and bladder remedy is soon realized. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
