GROW FRUIT.
TBq peach crop in this commu
i®3ty.has practically been markct
■Mul and the business for the season
mwmnd up. It was much shorter
Ttesai was expected, but notwith
;4rtwuGUhng the short crop, it has
rbeeni profitable to growers and to
ttho community. We believe that
HJu* fnnt industry is really in its
rib fancy, especially as to thiscorn
rmaturity. The people of America
heijHßt beginning to appreciate
tthe inscious Georgia poach and
itheumillions of people of the great
'.citaes of this country are becom
ing j. greater peach eaters every
vyear. The cities with the con
4itantiy increasing population will
year* by year buy more und more,
tfnaSb of all kinds, particularly!
they can get such fruit as
•the IKJberta peach. W** believe
oiioi Umt. in less than five years,
2Kfurppe will be as profitable a
■snarket for (leorgia fruit as Amer
ica. IThe market therefore iH one
©f"aHt proportions, it is praeti
allyinnlimited.
There onght to be thousands
anoreiElberta peach trees put. out
iirthe community around Barnes-
T vjli*<the coming season. There
'ought.'to be ten times more fruit
ijfmwn here than there is now. Mr.
’V. (D. Marehburn and Messrs.
Stafford A Howard, our largest
growers, intend to put out about
‘twenty-five thousand more trees
eaeh this fall. They have made
(nmney on their peach farms and
respect to do better in the future
thant they have ever done in the
past and they will. Invest your
money in an Elberta fruit farm
uuwl the future will reward you

Congressman Harwdick
Talks to Pike Voters.
Griffin, Ga., August 4.—At the
reunion held at Concord last week
of the Griffin News and Sun cor
respondents the most important
event of the day was the address
by Hon. T. W. Hardwick, recent
ly elected to congress from the
tenth district. The address was
along the general line of the argu
ments made during the congres
sional contest, and was eagerly
listened to by an audience of more
than 1,000 people. The speaker
was frequently interrupted, while
his hearers gave enthusiastic ap
proval as the strongest points in
the address were brought out.
Mr. Hardwick proclaimed and
advocated the doctrine of state
rights, which he said is still un
challenged except on the one sub
ject of prescribing qualifications
for voters. He attacked the jus
tice of this exception, and de
clared that as jurors who must
pass upon the lives, liberty and
properties of their fellow men
were required to be upright and
honest, so ought also those who
are entrusted with the ballot, and
the hopelessly ignorant and con
i’ issedly venal should be excluded.
He charged that the fourteenth
'and fifteenth amendments were
I adopted by the republican party
j when the south was prostrate, in
Order to perpetuate its power. He
i claimed that the great mass of the
people of the north have , never
consented by popular vote to ne
gro suffrage, and that wherever
the question has been presented
negro suffrage has been voted
down, and that In* believed the
time would soon come for a suc
cessful uppeal to the people of the
north and west for the burden to
be lifted from the shoulders of the
south.
The speaker stated that the real
danger of the south was apparent
in statistics from the seven south
ern states —(leorgia, Alabama,
Louisiana, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia—showing
that the negroes constitute 48. R
per cent of the voting population,
and that of this number more
t lmn one-half are totally illiterate.
He charged that education has not
helped the negro, and will not
solve the race problem : and added
that the younger generation in the
south are not as patient and for
bearing with the negroes as were
their fathers. He stated that the
legislature of Georgia in twice de
clining to take vigorous action on
the race question failed to meet
the wishes of the people of the
state.
“The effective franchise," af
firmed Mr. Hardwick, “ought to
be entrusted only to those of our
people who are qualified by intel
ligence and virtue to exercise it
properly, and the proposition can
not be disputed that the right to
vote is an inherent, absolute and
natural right which exists for the
benefit of the individual, but one
which is conferred for the benefit
of, and solely in the interest of,
the state.”
He defended the action of those
southern states who seek to pro
tect the illiterate whites, while
disfranchising the negro, on the
ground that the whites had made
and fought for the country and
been impoverished as the result
of their efforts; that the Anglo-
Saxon is the only race capable by
heredity and training of maintain
ing self-government.
BEWARE OF OINTMENT FOR CA
TARRH THAT CONTAINS
MERCURY
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable physi
cians, as the damage they will do is len
fold to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, man

internally, acting directly upon the

THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1902-
CENTRAL TO BE SOLD.
Reports to This Effect Circulated
But Denied.
The people of Barnesville and
section will be interested in the
reports being circulated to the ef
fect that the Central of Georgia
Railway properties are to pass in
to Other hands soon. The follow
ing specials bear on the subject:
New York, August 4.—The Eve
ning Post says: “Very positive
statements were made today that
negotiations are pending for the
acquisition of the Central of Geor
gia system by the St. Louis and
San Francisco, which last w r eek
.secured the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois, and which during the
last year has made notable prog
ress in expansion.
“These reports were practically
confirmed, so far as regards the
statement that negotiations w r ith
this purpose in view have been
under way. They are not, how
ever, completed.
“From the same authority a
denial was obtained of the reports
of a grand merger of all southern
railroads.”
New York, August 4.—Reports
that the St. Louis and San Fran
cisco road is negotiating for con
trol of the Central of Georgia sys
tem are scouted by a leading rep
resentative of the last named
property.
“This is the first 1 have heard
of any such plan,” said this di
rector. “There is nothing to jus
tify it, and all talk that the Sou
thern railway controls the Central
of Georgia is utter nonsense. The
Southern has no direct or indirect
interest in that property, which
is owned by the bondholders, who
in turn are represented by the vo
ting trustees.”
President Yoakum, of the St.
Louis and San Francisco road, de
clined to affirm or deny the report
or discuss it in any way.
The St. Louis and San Francis
co road, it is understood, has se
cured control of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois, and it is said to
he branching out in other direc
tions.
Macon, Ga., August 4.—S. R.
Jaques, of this city, one of the
the directors of the Central of
Georgia railroad, to whom the
New York Associated Press dis
patches relating to the alleged
absorption of the Central system
by the ’Frisco were referred, said:
“I know nothing of such a deal.
The information from the Associ
ated Press is the first intimation
1 have received.”
Savannah, Ga., August 4.
President John M. Eagan, of the
Central of Georgia railway, said
tonight that he knew absolutely
nothing about any negotiations
on the part of the St. Louis and

EVES SPEAK
Volumes, at times, of woman's happi
ness or misery. The dull, sunken eye,
with its dark circles almost surely speaks
of womanly ill-health, and its attendant
suffering. With the dull eye goes usu
ally the sallow, sunken cheek, the drawn
mouth, the shrunken form—the whole
glorv of woman's beauty marred by the
effects of disease.
l)r. l*ierce’s Favorite Prescription cures
the diseases which undermine the health
and mar the l>eautv of women. It estab
lishes regularity, dries weakening drains,
heals inflammation and ulceration, and
cures female weakness.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce bv letter /’*rc, and so obtain the
advice of a specialist upon their disease.
All corresjxuulence is strictly private
and sacredly confidential. Address Dr.
R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. V.
"With pleasure I send a few lines to let you
know that 1 feel much better than for eight
years before taking ww medicine " writes Mrs.
Fierce C.eise, of Sj.- West Phi la Street. York. Pa
" Will recommend Dr Pierce's medicine to every
person who may inquire as to what it has done
for me. I was troubled with lirmalc weakness,
and began to think t would never be well. If I
had continued the treatment prescribed by my
doctor I don't know what would have liecome of
me When your treatment was commenced my
weight was toS (rounds, at present it is 130.
Have healthy color anil my friends say I look
well My best thanks 'o you and my best
wishes, too, for what yon have done foe me,"
"Favorite Prescription’’ makes weak
women strong, sick women well. Accept
no substitute for the medicine which
works wonders for weak women.
