WEEKLY 5 TIMES.

McDonough, Ga., July 28, 1893.
The District Conference has takeu
the town this week. It is needless to
say the town is in safe hands.
There is a general belief that this
fall’s business will be almost if not
quite as good as that of last fall.
Hanks all over the country continue
to fail, but this fact causes very little
uneasiness among the boys of the
“fourth estate.”
The Weekly will willingly give

Political small talk is begining to
manifest itself over the state already.
The main interest seems centered upon
the gubernatorial and senatorial possi
bilities.
The Porter Stocks case of Atlanta
was finally settled by the Supreme
court, Wednesday, which affirmed the
decision below. Sentence will be pass
ed on Stocks in a few days.
The country “press gang” have been
putting in some extra good licks since
their recent vacation, which plaiuly
demonstrates the truthfulness of the
old adage, “All work and no piay,”
etc.
And now it is getting to be too warm
for some people to go to church. A'
little while ago the complaint was it
was too cold. It is a puzzle to know
just what kind of weather will suit
some church members.—Ex.
lion. Milton A. Candler, of DeKalb,
has entered the political arena once
more. He is now running as the Dem
ocratic nominee for representative of
his county. Georgia possesses but few
abler men than Milt Candler.
The Justices of the Peace will hold
a convention in Atlanta on the first of
August. It is their purpose to memo
rialize the Legislature to enact a law
granting them fees in criminal cases
where none now exist, and for other
relief pertaining to their judicial well
being.
France and Siam are having a lively
wrangle over some disputed territory.
England and China are championing
Siam, while Russia is patting France
on the back and agging it on. War
seems itnineut, although it is to be
hoped that a more arbitrary mode of
settlement may be reached.
The railroads raise a great hue and
cry about low rates, and say it is im
possible for them to pull through un
less something is done. Hut no com
plaint is ever made at the princely
salaried officers. A little reform in
this direction might work wonders for
the poor oppressed railroads.
The general report now is that the
financial situation is undoubtedly bol
ter, and everything is expected to be
running smoothly again before the ex
tra session ends. If there is any relief
in legislation the “grand old democrat
ic party” may be depended upon to
find it, but it will require a little time.
Surely “the good day coming” cannot
be much farther off.
The Madisonian is waging an un
ceasing warfare on the scandal monger.
In a recent issue Editor Candler rips
these human vultures up the back in
the following expressive style: “Some
people contend that there is uo hell,
but there surely must be a burning,
seething, crackling hell for the scandal
monger. Any other kind would not
be sufficient punishment.”
“The people are anxiously awaiting
the action of congress which meets in
August,” says an exchange. The
‘.rouble with a great rnauy people is
they have waited t'>o long and expect
ed too much already. Congress will
never legislate corn ; u the crib, meat
in the smoke house, nor flour aud syr
up in the barrel. The prosperity of
the country, as well as the government
itself, rests upon and with the people.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be iucu ruble.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, aud pre
scrilied local remedies and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronouuced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh ,o he a constitutional
diseas, and therefore requires coustitu
tional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitution
al cure On the market. It is taken in
terually in doses from 10 drops to a
teas|>ooiiful. It acts directly on the
blood and raucous surfaces of the sys’
tern. '1 bey offer oue hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send tor

The excessive heat ol the p.i-l few
weeks, following, as it has. on tin* he« Is
of a cool, liHckwunl spring, st ems to
have dined an unusual airenmt of sick
ness in the I md. It has also injuri
ously affected upland corn or j>h, fi ing
it up badly in places, but iti • early
corn was well advanced before the re
cent dry spell struck it, and the show
ers of last week ctme in tirn ' t i save
the late patches, and though the cn p
will not be so good as last year the e
will still be bread for the eater.
Sweet p tatu patches seldom present
a finer appearance at tins season than
they do now.
It seems that cottun has been t'\ing
to regain, by rapid growth and Ihnit
ing during the hot weather, what it
lost by a late start in the spring; and ;
the prospect now is that barring future
disasters we will have a fair yield of
cottou in this section.
Peaches are very inferior iu quality
and inclined to drop liefore lipening.
Chickens are fully ripe, and big

Muggins says, “If Cleveland and
congress don’t do something to help
the people the country is ruined
and Tom W atson says Cleveland and
congress will do nothing of the kiud,
for they are all Democrats and no good
can come out of the Democratic party.
As Watson himself has but recently
come out of it I am inclined to think if
he is a fair specimen of what comes
out of it his assertion is quite true
Now when Muggins, or any other man,
perfects the details of a plan by which
Cleveland and congress- can help any
person or class of persons without cor
responding injury to some other per
son or class, 1 will be glad to hear from
him en the subject, for if they take
from one poor man to help another it
is robbery, and if they take from the
wealthy to help the poor it is none the
less robbery, because it puts a premium
on poverty and sets am otion at a dis
advantage.

That Cotton I’ieking Machine. •
Mr. Editor: I notice vliat the Nw
York World says about raising 21 cent
cotton. Now , any sane in in can see
that a mechanic cannot get a margin
to draft a machine to pick cotton, from
tile fact that no two bolls are on the
limb or stalk alike. While one stalk
is bending down, another is to the right
oi left, some erect, others at half mast
etc., then on the same s’alk are open
bolls, bolls of all siz -s. an I even the
hloom. So if .the planter should wait
till th" bolls all opeti, the first would
be damaged so by rain and dew the
product would not make tin* cloth gen
tlemen use for their underwear.
I am aware that some machines are
raking out cotton with trash and leaves.
I have lived to a good old ag*, aud
have seen cottou in all stages, hut have
yet to see a machine that will do man’s
work in gathering cotton. No machine
can do nice work without a margin to
calculate from, and when Gabriel toots
his last trumpet the cotton picker will
still be incomplete, to do the work the
gentlemau in black has been helping
the planter to do I trust none of the
wise editors will think 1 apply this to
them. Were las far from the cotton
plan', and had written as some of them
have, I would fear to meet a cow or
sheep—as these animals are prone to
go for what’s green.
The cotton planter is helping *o
clothe the word, llauds off, gentle
men, or come down south, pull off your
coat, roll up your sleeves, aud show us
how the plant should he handled. Put
up or shut up, please gents, lor it costs
at least (1 cents t • make a pound of
cot: oil. I IIOMAS 11. SI’.U. LWOIITU.
