The Republicans have changed **Yan

an exchange.
Married men are familiar with the
horseless carriage. Just watch one
push a b*by carritge.
The Hardwick bill, to disfranchise
the negro, will be introduced again in
the coming Georgia legislature.
The net increase in the taxable pr.>p
er>y of Georgia, according to the comp
troller’s repoit, is $17,475,616.
Si rate Etomologist Scott says there
will be 1,000,000 peach trees put out
in Georgia this fall. Peaches and

Rev. Sam Joaes has quit preaching
and lecturing on account of ill health,
and is now in Atlanta under treatment
of a specialist. '
At Republican headquarters iu Chi
cago the eslimhte is McKinley 249,
IJryac 145. At Democratic beadquar
ters the claim is Bryan 213 and iV.c
Kinley 137.
i'l he presidential election takes place
on Tuesday November 6:h. Every
Democrat iu Georgia should go to the
polls ou that day aud vote for Bryan
and Stevenson.
Georgia will hardly feel the shock
of the political storm sweeping the
country. Conscious of her power, and
the justice of the cause she stands for,
she will ride serenely into the land
locked haven of true aud unadulterated
domocracy, says an exchange.
The Macon Telegraph Bays: “It all
comes back to the proposition laid
down iu these columns several days
ago: If it was a good inyestmeut to
plant wheat while cotton was down, iu
order to biace the price up, it is bet
ter investment to plant wheat while
cottou is up in order to keep it up.
This is the main question. Let us
keep it before both eyes daily.”
An exchange says iu a certain fami
ly there are two sons besides the father.
One son is a republican and the other
is a democrat, while the father .is a
populist. They have some hot argu
ments and abuse each other roundly.
The old man says he r< grets that he
ever brought two Such fools into the
world. The hovs say they would rather
not have been born tbau to have such
a crank for a fuller.
Two negroes consummated iheir
courtship behiud the bars of Bibb
couuty jail yesterday. They made love
very successfully from ouo ceil to an
other, and yesterday morning they pe
titioned Jailor Stephen to let tbefli
marry. This was agreed to and a
preach'r was sent for. After the
ceremony they were returned to their
respective cells to to await trial at the
next term of court. — Macon Telegraph

That is what you must do when you
have catarrah in the head. The way
to cure this disease is to purify the
blood with Hood’s Sarsaparilla This
medicine soothes and heals the iofiam
ed surfaces, rebuilds thg delicate tis
sues aud permanently cures catarrah by
expelling from the blood the scrofulous
taints upon which it depends. Be sure
to get Hood’s.

To Make the Mouth ICicli,
Southern farmers should not permit
the present price of cotton to divert
their minds from the necessity of di
versiying their crops. I' is in diversi
hcation that their hope of independence
tnd wealth lies. Cotton prices will not
always remain high. Seasons of de
pression will come again, when those
farmers who continue to make cotton
their sole crop will have abundauf oc
casion to regret their lack of fore
sight.
There is no b iter time thau the
present to make anaugements foi de
voting acreage and attention to several
farm products next year. The ext»a
money that will coma from the cotton
this season will place the average far
mtr in a position to take up’ other lines
of production without having to burden
himself for the purpose of so doing
New lands can be opened up for tobac
co; additions cau be made to the herds
of cattli; more fiuit trees cau be plant
•d; the flocks about the biruyards can
be increased; the acreages of wheat
and oats can be extended. lu short,
there are dozens of ways in which the
faimers of the South cau become "ex
pansionists” at home, wLolly "within
the party and constitution,” and they
ought to do it for their own good.
During the past two or three years
diversified farming has made fairly
good progress iu the South.
Ju this State the wheat crop is now
quite importaor, hut it is not nearly «s
large it should bo. A chemist’s report
which we published the other day show
ed that as fine wheat can be raised in
Georgia as in any other State of the*
Union. The fruits of Georgia and
Florida are recognized as beiDg among
the best in the world Indeed it would
probably be impossible to mention any
agricultural product of the temperate
zone that cauuot bd euccessfuMy pro
duced in the South.
While a start has been made iu the
direction of diversifying crops, it is as
yet only a start. We are still buyiog
corn, lard, meat and flour from the
West, aud potatoes, turnips, butter,
cheese, canned goods and many other
articles of food from the North. We
do not even produce all of the chickeus
and eggs we eat, but get them in large
quantities from non-cotton S ates, aod
pay good prices for them. We send
literally millions of dollars per vear
a vay from heme for food that might
better be produced at home.
The start that has been made iu
home production of food ciopa aud pro
visions ought to be encouraged by ev
ery means possible, aud those who have
made the start ought to talk it up to
their neighbors who have not, and try
to get them to join the processiou
Agitation will get the all-cotton farmer
interested, and once be has gotten into
the way of planting corn, sugar cane,
wh«at, oats, etc., in addition to cotton,
they will wonder why they stood iu
their own light
Ai'd, as was said above, .there is no
time bttter than the present, when cot
ton prices are good, to make arrange
ments for crops. Diversified farming
not only means indepeuce for the in el
ligent and imlustriouß tanners, but it
means (bat when the system becomes
anything like geueral iu the South good
prices for cotton—the money crop—

l,t Happened In Wrug; Store.
"Oue day last winter a lady came to
my drug store and asked Jor a brand of
cough medicine that 1 did not have in
stock,” says Mr. C. R. Graden, the
popular druggist o c Ontario. N. Y
"She was disappointed and wanted to
kuow what cough preparation I could
recommeud. I snid to her that I could
freely recommend Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and that she could take a bot
tle of the Remedy and after giving it a
a fair trial if she did not find it worth
the money 10 briug back the bottle aud
I would refund the price paid. Iu the
course of a day or two the lady came
back in company with a triend in need
of a cough medicine and advised her
irieud to buy a bottle of Chamberlaiu’s
C< ugh Remedy. I consider that a very
good recommendation for the remedy.”
