t3ol. Guerry, as well as the other
candidates, has had a wot time
for the past, few weeks.
So far candidates have lmd little
■trouble to keep cool but it may be j
different as the primary ap- j
proaches.
Guerry stands for principles,
JCstill for business, Terrell for
politics and Smith for convicts.

Insurance rates have been in
creased throughout the country
about twenty-five per cent. Nearly
all the companion lost money last
year.
There has been many a man who
“cut oIT his nose to spite his face”
Irat he has usually lived to regret
jit. History is said to repeat it
veif.
Whatever we think of one anoth
s*r, we should all work for Barnes
■ville. The little city will continue
togrow and prosper if this plan is
followed by its citizens.
Tho grout Carnegie library has
been opened in Atlanta to the
public. It. is a handsome building
and the instition is a most impor
tant one. The influence of such
a library will he felt throughout
the state.

An exchange says that Queen
Alexandria is to do away with bare
ahoulders at daylight royal func
tions and return to the high bodice
and choker collar. We think it
advisable for other “queens” to
follow her example.
President Roosevelt has decided
to go to the Charleston exposition
in spite of the Tillmans. He will
be given a more royal reception
by the people of that city than if
the Tillman episode had not oc
curred.
Rev. A. J. Beck began hi cam
paign for state school commission*
■ex in a speech at Newnan Tuesday.
Hiß speech contained some very
interesting comparisons and it is
stated that he made quite a favor
able impression on his audience.
Opera House Rented.
Mr. George M. Elder has rented
Kennedy’s opera house, having
already taken charge, and gone to
work to secure some tine attrac
tions for Barnesville. He is a
sterling young man andjwo hope
his enterprise will be rewarded
with splendid success. The opera
Rouse will at once be put in fine
condition and made attractive and
comfortable. Some good attract-
have already been booked
and the people here may now ex
ct to have some good entertain
ments.
GUERRY’S QUESTIONS.
Hon. Dupont Guerry has asked
Hon. J. M. Terrell a number of
questions concerning issues of the
present campaign for governor,
but the latter haß not undertaken
;to answer, for reasons which are
evidently satisfactory to himself,
i One of these questions refers to
‘the famous senatorial nomina
tion held in Forsyth several years
• ago, when Hon. R. L. Berner was
nominated to represent this dis-
I trict in the state senate. The
[question asked Mr. Terrell by Mr. j
Guerry is as follows:
“When the convention that I
nominated the Hon. Robert L. i
Berner several years ago for the \
* senate was looked or adjourned
| because the Bibb delegation de
manded of Mr. Berner a promise j
against prohibition, was not a tel-1
! egram sent from Atlanta in the
name of Frank M. Potts to said
delegation or a member of it, say
j ing in effect, ‘Oppose Berner no
j longer; he is all right?’-And did
you not write that telegram?”
The question is one tliut creates
! considerable interest and there are
many people who would like to
see an answer to it, or at least
have more light thrown upon the
matter. If Mr. Terrell will not
answer we would like to hear what
Mr. Guerry has further to say
about it.
MILLIONAIRE ROUSS DEAD.
Mr. Charles Broadway Roush,
the blind New York millionaire,
after whom hundreds of racket
stores throughout the country
were named, died Monday in New
York City. He was afflicted with
heart disease and dropsy. Mr.
Roush wus horn in Maryland in
1881). He-was a brave Confederate
soldier and immediately after the
war went to New York City to en-
I gage in business. He was a man
of conviction and courage, for as
; soon as he opened up in the great
metropolis he lmng lip in his store
Ia picture of tho president of the
confederacy, Hon. Jefferson Davis.
He soon made money and became
very rich. Since the war he has
given large sums of money to con
federate monuments throughout
the south. He has been blind for
a long time and offered large sums
of money to have his sight restor
ed. His signature to a check
would have been honored for a
very large amount, hut it was one
of the most unusual signatures
ever seen, and was always noticed
and commented upon.
Mr. Rouss’ memory will be hon
ored throughout the south.
CIGARETTE SMOKING INJURIOUS
Several years ago the writer
took up the fight in this commu
nity against cigarette smoking
among small boys. Several arti
cles by different citizens were pub
lished and we feel that good fol
lowed the agitation of the ques-
tion. There seems to be much less
cigarette smoking everywhere than
there was several years ago, and
there ought to be for there is abun
dant evidence to show that it is
very injurious to the young. Sta
tistics prove it conclusively. At
the Northwestern Preparatory
school in Chicago, Dr. Fisk is so
firmly convinced that cigarette
smoking among boys results in
“marked mental deterioration”
and is otherwise harmful that he
“has asked any body in the school
who cannot or will not give up
cigarettes to leave, and further
offers to refund all that has been
paid in fees or tuition to such stn
| dents.”
“The venerable head of the pre
paratory school,” says the Chi
cago Record-Herald, "is not deal
ing in generalisations or loose de
nunciations. He has prepared
stat istics covering a period of sev
eral years, showing of the boys
who smoke, only 2 per cent, are
among the 26per cent, of students
who stand highest in class schol
arship. On the other hand, 67
per cent, of the smokers are
among the 25 per cent, lowest in
class scholarship. At the present
t ime the boys who smoke appear
t o be entirely incapable of passing
examinations or keeping up in
their studies. Two out of every
nine boys in the school confess
that they smoke cigarettes, and
not one is in good standing in his
classes.”
With such evidence as this be
fore them there is but one position
for parents to take and that is to
discourage and oppose the smok
ing of cigarettes.

Young Lady Dies.
Miss Pearl Burnett, daughter of :
Mr. L. S. Burnett, died Tuesday j

in this city, after a short illness.
It is a very sad death. She was
about seventeen years old and was
a bright, promising young lady,
who had many friends throughout
the community. The sympathy
of the entire community is extend
ed the bereaved loved ones.
The funeral services were held
at the home yerterday at 10 o’clok

Hunt, after which the body was
interred in Greenwood cemetery.
Methodist Church.
Rev. O. B. Robins P. E. will
preach at the Methodist church
Thursday night at 7:15 p. m. After
the sermon he will hold the se
cond quarterly conference for the
present year. All the official mem
bers of the church are earnestly
requested to attend.
Mr. 11. C. Milner qniite 111.
We regret to chronicle the serious
illness of Mr. B. C. Milner, at his
home near the city. k He lias been
complaining for some weeks but a
few days ago he grew rapidly worse
and telegrams were sent to all the
immediate members of the family
:to come at once to his bedside.
Monday lie - was quite low but
Tuesday he rallied and was much
brighter yesterday his condition
was considerably better, and he is
resting quietly.
Mr. Milner is one of the oldest
and best citizen of Pike county
and his name is honored wherever
he is know. There are scores of
people who will anxiously await
favorable news from his condition.
FOR THE COMPLEXION.
The complexion always suffers from
biliousness or constipation. Unless the
bowels are kept open the impurities
from the body appear in the form of
' unsightly eruptions. DeWitt’s Little
Early Risers keep the liver and bowels
in healthy condition and remove the
cause of such troubles. C. E. Hooper.
Albany, Ga., says: “I took DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers for biliousness,
they were just what I needed. I am
feeling better now than in years.”
Never gripe or distress. Safe thorough
and gentle. The very best pills.

Hatology
You may pay $5.00 for a
hat and be no better satis
fied than with a HAWES’
at three. If you appreciate
•$2.00 you’ll be better.
Sounds like a bit of un
necessary advice, still a num
ber of people spend their 5
season after season. We ‘
want to sell you five-dollar
hat-people. We’ll show you
our style and quality—that’ll
interest you at SB.OO. Ours
are the newest things in

not in quality, in style. It's
better than the other man’s
at $2.50. Better buy one at
two dollars. You’ll find the
styles same as shown in the
SB.OO goods—except the
quality is not as good.
