SMITH, President. THAD ADAMS Editor and Manager. Entered t the Pot Office nt Burnesvllle, On., m second class mU matter. FEBRUARY 6, 1902. SALE OF STOCK. On February tat. ft block of News-Gazette stock t hat was held I.V some of t IF' business men of Uarnesville was purchased by Messrs. E. N. Mills, J. B. Hardy and B. H. Hardy. This sale will in no way effect the policy of the paper and the management will continue un changed. Mr. K. N. Mills, who has been at the head of the me chanical department <>t the paper sinee the establishment of the News, will remain at this place, while Mr. Thad Adams will con tinue as Editor. The paper is in excellent condi tion and no share ol stock has ever sold for less than par since the or ganization of the company. That Rome dispensary tight is making the public weary. It is a rare day when Tillman does not furnish amusement for the senate. Great Britian would do well to put an end to the Boer war before Coronation. Hon. Pope Brown did the prop er thing in withdrawing from tin* gubernatorial race. Tom Loyless says millionares are becoming almost as numerous as tramps in this country. Miss A1 ice Roosevelt will attend the coronation in spite of the opinion of the politicians. We are promised a lively cam paign for this year. It cannot be too lively for the newspaper men. M iss Mary Johnstone, the bril liant young authoress of Alabama, is said to be critically ill at her home in Birmingham. The Macon Telegraph is still preaching economy for Macon's municipal government. The Tel egraph is making a strong effort to defeat the proposed bond issue to be submitted to the voters. Senator Bailey, of Texas, made i a speech in the Senate this week against the increase of salaries of Senators and Congressmen. Sena tor Bailey stated that it made no difference what salary they receiv ed, there seemed to he a rule with the Washington people to assess them so that they would have noth ing left at the end of the year. The Barnesville Nkwb-Gazkttjs is aguinst joint debates in the gubernatorial race. So far as we are concerned let the debates pro ceed. The people like to hear public discussions and there need be no bitterness, for the man who loses his head in debate and has harsh things to say in anger is not lit to be governor.—Athens Banner. Governor Candler has decided not to order the Georgia State Troops into camp this summer as was comtemplated, but will let the military fund go to the pay ment of armory rent for the com panies. This is a wise decision on ( the part of the governor. It is not right that the troops should give the state their service and then be required to pay their own expenses. EDITOR KNOWLES IS WRONG. Editor Knowles, of the Rome Tribune, in his zeal to produce ar gument against the establishment of a dispensary in Rome, alludes i to the Barnesville dispensary as having been a failure from a finan cial standpoint since its establishment, and states further that the operating of the dispensary here has caused the recent failures of I milks and factories and general financial depression. Editor Knowles has been greatly misinformed. The Barnesville dispensary has always been a financial success. That much can be said in its behalf and no one who is correctly informed will dispute it. True, the dispensary under its old management, owes something for liquors but it was because the proceeds from the sale was used for other municipal purposes, with the knowledge and consent of the liquor creditors. Jn no way, directly or indirectly, can any cotton mill or bank failure be charged to the operation of the dispensary. Furthermore tin- financial depression, of which Editor Knowles speaks, has never existed here. Barnesville is known everywhere as one of the plucki est and most enterprising cities in the state. Tic News-Gazette is no ardent advocate of the dispensary sys tem but makes these* statements, that tie* truth may be made known. PROF. MERRITT’S CANDIDACY We publish in this issue the an ! nouncepient of Prof. W. B. Mer ritt, of Valdosta, for the office of State School Commissioner. Prof. Merritt is at present Su perintendent of 1 he pub] ic schools of the city of Valdosta and of Lowdnes county, and is one of the best, known and most able mem bers of his profession in the state. He has been connected with the public schools of Georgia for many years and is familiar with every branch of the educational work in the state. His announcement is a strong paper and speaks for itself. Prof. Merrit being a teacher of •many years experience and one who lias studied the needs of Georgia’s school system, the peo ple of the state would do well to place him at the head of the pub lic schools. The News-Gazette tukes pleas ure in endorsing Prof. Merritt’s candidacy. ft in Two Minutes There will be another car. But the man can’t wait. He chases the car ami swings on, panting and hot, but satisfied. lie keeps this gait up all day. He works that way, he lunches that way. He contin ues this until his stomach " breaks down” and nature compels him to "go slow.” Business men who have impaired their digestion by hasty eating will find in I>r. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery a cure for dyspepsia and other diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. It does not give mere temporary relief, but it effects a rndical cure. It strengthens the stomach, nour ishes the nerves and purifies the blood. " For six long years I suffered with mv liver, kidneys, and with indigestion, which Imffied the best doctors iu our country,” writes H. L. Kansrll. Bsq., of Woolsey, Prince Wiliam Cos., Va. "I suffered with my stomach and back for a long time, and after taking a ' cart-load' of medicine from three doctors, I grew bad I could hardly do a day's work. Would have death-like pains in the side, and blind spells, and thought life was hardly worth living. 1 began taking Dr. Pierce s Goldeu Medical Dis covery and ' Pleasant Pellets,’ as advised.

Tim Murphy had run up a small bill at the village shop. He went to pay it and wanted a receipt. “Oh, we never give receipts for these small amounts,” grumbled the proprietor. “See, I will cross your account off the book.” And he drew a pencil diagonally across it. “There is your receipt,” he added. “Bo ye mane that that settles it ?” asked Pat. “Certainly.” “And ye’ll niver be asking for it again ?” “We’ll never ask you for it again ” said the other decidedly. “Faith, thin,” said Pat, “and I’ll be after kapin’ me money in me pocket, for I haven't paid it yet.” “Oh, well,” was the angry retort, “I can rub that out.” “Faith, and 1 thought as much,” said Pat slyly. The proprietor of that establish ment now issues a receipt for the smallest amount. —Loudon Tit-Bits. MR. WHEELER GOT RID OF IIIS RHEUMATISM. “During the winter of 1898 I was so lame in my joints, in fact all over my l>ody, that I could hardly hobble around, when I benight a bottle of Uhamborlain’s Pain Balm.

THE BARNESVILLE NEWfI-OAZETTE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1902. CANDIDATE FOR THE LEGISLATURE COL. A. A. nURPHEY ANNOUNCES FOR THE LEGISLATURE AND GIVES REASONS WHY HE IS A CANDIDATE. To the People ok Pike County: During the past three or four months 1 have often been solicited by many voters of Pike to run for the Legislature. Since my name lias been men tioned in this connection, numbers of the good people of tin* county have assured me of their hearty support, if 1 should become a can didate. Jn addition to these requests and the encouragement of support tendered, I confess that I myself have a bit of ambition to answer the roll call and to speak and vote for old Pike in the law-making body of the state. 1, therefore, take this method of publicly announcing my candi dacy and to assure the white voters of the county, one and all, that I will appreciate their sup port in the white primary to be held during the year for the nom ination of county officers. In this connection, I desire to congratulate, not only the white people of Pike County, but the white citizenship of the entire state, that the white man’s pri mary has become the settled pol icy of the dominant party in the state. 1 have for twenty-five years ad vocated white primaries for any and all purposes in the southland. Some Southern States have solved the problem of white supremacy by constitutional enactment of property and educational qualifi cations. It has remained for the people of (ieorgia to settle this vexatious question in their own wav —and, in my humble opinion, in a very effective and sensible way, viz : Ruling the negro out of politics by white primaries. This plan lias successfully done the work, without the expense of a constitutional convention or the bitterness of a constitutional elec tion. I am rejoiced that the day lias come, in old Georgia, when the white people can settle all their differences, politically, without the intervention of the negro vote. There is virtually but one political party in the southland. Call this party democratic if you wish. As Governor Candler says, we are all democrats in Georgia and we all should get together and stay together in a white man's party anil settle all our differences inside of a white man’s party by white primaries. I have no objection to its being called the democratic party, if by democracy is meant the platform on which Hrvan was twice nomi nated for tlic presidency. 1 have from start to finish been a Bryan man and will vote for him again if he is nominated a third time for the presidency on the same platform. But my purpose is not to discuss national politics. 1 desire simply to heartily endorse the white man’s primary in county as well as in the state affairs. The dom inant party must necessarily be a white man’s party in the south land. and all white aspirants for office should submit their claims for political preferment to white primaries. My position on other vital ques tions, both county and state, shall be known to the voters of Pike before they are called upon to cast their ballots either for or against me. Respectfully, A. A. Mubphey. “I have used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for a number of years and have no hesitancy in saying that it is the best remedy for coughs, colds and croup 'I have ever used >n my family.
