Sixteen-('ent Cotton,
Yesterday July cotton in New
Orleans touched sixteen cents a
pound.
This breaks all records for the
past 30 years, and is the highest
point touched by the staple since
the seasons immediately following
the civil war.
The meaning of this ap]»arently
permanent advance is now plain.
Demand has overtaken supply in
the cotton business ; and the rise in
price begun by speculators who
looked ahead,has now found a toler
ably firm support in natural and
commercial conditions.
Reaction will come, hut not low
cotton.
There will be a margin of profit
—a very fair margin—in raising
cotton for some time to come.
At last the south has come into
her own.
. Roseate predictions are unsafe
and sometimes inexpedient. But
we eonnot hold back an expression
of the firmest confidence in the
south’s future from a material stand
point, based on the sustained high
price of cotton. This section, we
believe, is destined to be the most
opulent in the world.—Atlanta
Journal.
Saved fVom a Terrible Death.
The family of Mrs. M. L. Babbitt
of Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying
and w T ere powerless to save her.
The most skillful physicians and
and every remedy used, failed,
while consumption was slowly but
surely taking her life. In this ter
rible hour Dr. King's New Discov
ery for Consumption turned des
pair into joy. The first bottle
brought relief and its continued use
completely cured her. It’s the most
certain cure in the world for all
throat and lung troubles. Guaran
teed. Bottles 50c and SI.OO. Trial

Mr. H. A. DeLoach, of Snapping
Shoals, accompanied by Mr. W. F.
Brown, chief engineer of a large
railroad company, that is now
Imilding roads in the south and in
this state, was in the city yesterday,
Thursday, having come over the
ground between here and Snapping
Shoals with a view to building a
road touching the Georgia road,
coming to Jackson. Messrs. De-
Loach and Brown talked with sev
eral of our leading business men,
and are encouraged by tbe prospects.
A road such as the prospective one
would be would mean a great deal
to our city. Mr. DeLoach, a ster
ling, far-seeing business man, and
acting in concert with this company,
with its great financial backing, the
road can come and be an immense
advantage, if things are favorable,
and it is hoped they will be.—Jack
son Argus.

To the People of Georgia.
(leorgia has never yet had an ex
hibit worthy of her at any of the
great ■ International Expositions.
States far inferior to her in import
ance and advantages have been al
lowed to eclipse her on the great
occasions.
Not only state pride and patriot
ism, hut also our most vital inter
ests demand that. Georgia shall
show her true self to her sister
states and to the nations of the
world.
Those having charge of the Geor
gia exhibit at tin; Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition have undertaken
the erection of a Georgia Building
that will compare favorably with
those erected by other States. It
has been suggested that the Georgia
Building be a production of some
historic edifice of our State, as for
instance, “Liberty Hill” the home
of Alexander H. Stevens, or “South
land,” the home of our beloved
Gordon. Let us hear from our peo
ple on this point.
They wish it to be a place where
Georgia can play the hostess to her
own citizens visiting the exposition
and those of her sister States and
foreign countries for the purpose of
coming into contact with the differ
ent people of the world who desire
to examine our resources in case of
future investment and purchase.
Nearly every State and civilized
country will be represented by a
building of this nature presenting
some historic feature of State or
country. You will realize that in
order to carry this movement to
success we must act quickly as the
time is limited. A small subscrip
tion to this fund will be as thank
fully received as a larger one, and
we trust that there will be no citi
zens of Georgia who will not be
represented by a contribution. It
takes time and money for the com
mission to visit each locality, and
we urgently appeal to everyone to
make a remittance promptly to O.
B. Stevens, Treasurer, Atlanta, Ga.
None of the appropriations voted
by the Legislature can be used for
this purpose, and all citizens who
desire that Georgia should compare
favorably with her sister States at
the greatest World Exposition ever
yet held, are earnestly exhorted to
contribute according' to their abili
ty. J. M. Terrell Gove nor.

Tlie February Lippincott's Magazine.
Alma Martin Estabrook’s novel in
the February number of Lippin
eott’s Magazine more than confirms
the belief in her ability to write a
good long story. Short fiction from
her pen has appeared in many mag
azines and won much deserved com
mendation. “Cousin Patricia,”
her present- novel, is a tale of mod
ern life. It entertains, pre-emi
nently, from beginning to end. In
vention is clever throughout, and
the climax shows a blending of
strength and charm in the writing
which is highly satisfying.
The entire magazine is quite up
to the usual high standard.

Three Negroes Charged With Poi
soning Woman.
Elli'iiwood, Jan. 25.—Charles Mann,
Charlfs Shaw and Bob Middlehrooks,
three negroes, are in jail here charged with
poisoning Sarah Jane Mann, wife of the
first named negro. The woman died un
der suspicions circumstances alxmt two
weeks ago and soon afterwards it was ru
mored she was poisoned. Coroner L. M.
Toney ordered the body exhumed and at
the inquest which followed charges were
made against the three men. Deputy
Sheriff R. L. Waggoner soon had the men
in jail. They will be tried at the next
term of court.
The stomach of the negro woman, Sa
rah Jane Mann, whose body was exhumed
in Clayton county, was delivered to the
state chemist by Dr. James Heflin, of that
county. He was aeeomjianied to Atlanta
by Coroner Toney and Deputy Sheriff
Waggoner.—Atlanta Journal.

J. W. Culpepper, who is seriously
sick.
They say that every fellow that
announces for office feels like the
people should elect him in prefer
ence to the other fellow.
They say that the cotton seed oil
mills use to give away cotton seed
hulls, hut they say they have quit
doing that now.
In one hundred years from now
every tw’enty year old person who
reads these lines will be dead and in
his grave. Its wonderful to think
of the number of people that will be
dead within the next fifty years.
Last Tuesday while engaged in
work at the saw mill of M. A. Nor
man & Son, Mr. Cliff Culpepper
happened to get his left hand caught
in the saw, and came very near los
ing his hand by the accident. Dr.
Tucker was called in to dress the
w’ound, and amputated the third
finger of his injured hand. Cliff’s
numerous friends sympathize with
him in his misfortune.
Prof. Bail Elliot has been elected
principal of the Beersheba school
and opened up his school last Mon
day with a good attendance, with
the prospects very flattering for a
good live school at that place this
year.
Now if you decide to make a run
on the political race track this sea
son, you must take into considera
tion that the road to political suc
cess is a difficult road to travel, and
in this great day of progress, and
modern inventions, you are liable' tee
come in contact with a new fangled
political automobile, or something
like an automatic, self acting ma
chine, which you might term a reg
ular new fashioned and new fangled
political automobustup which would
be very likely to knock your politi
cal aspirations into the middle of
next week, but it is not our purpose
to discourage any political aspirants,
and we have often heard the saying,
that there is no telling, “the luck of
a lousy calf,” so now Mr. Candidate,
just spread yourself, for maybe this
is the time that all who announce
for office will get it and in conclu
sion, we extend to all our best wish
es in their political warfare.
Jack.
A Very Close Call.
“I stuck to my engine, although
evnrv joint ached and every nerve
was racked with pain,” writes C.
W. Bellamy, a locomotive fireman,
of Burlington, lowa. “I was weak
and pale, without any appetite and
all run down. As I was abont to
give up, I got a bottle of Electric
Bitters, and after taking it, I felt as
well as I ever did in my life.”

ways gain new life, strength and

Rev. L. I. Echols has held services
at Fair view the past two Sundays
and will preach there again next
Sunday at 11 o’clock. Probably he
finds it necessary, orthodox Presby

Sunday and pray without ceasing
in order to make his calling and
election sure while he has charge of
a big school, for he knows if he
lets that school knock him out the
Methodists would have the laugh

Mrs. W. D. Thrasher has bought

Messrs. Marshal Terry, Lode King

Uncle Billie Jenkins says this
year is to be another political cam

means to announce himself in the
race for one of the offices to be

Indigestion Causes
CatarrH of the
Stomach.
For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but tfte truth i 3 exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
relieves all inflammation of the mucous
membranes lining the stomach, protects the
nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a
sense of fullness after eating, indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.

"For about two year* I suffered from a very
obstinate case of dyspepsia.” writes R E. Secora,
Esq .of 13 Eastern Ave., Toronto, Ontario. "I
tried a great number of remedies without suc
cess. 1 finally lost faith in them all. 1 was so
fat gone that I could not for a long time bear
any solid food in my stomach ; felt melancholy
and depressed. Some four months ago a friend
recommended your ‘ Golden Medical Discovery.’
Alter a week’s treatment I had derived so much
benefit that 1 continued the medicine, I have
taken three bottle* and am convinced it has
in my case accomplished a permanent cure. I
can conscientiously recommend it to the thou
sands of dyspeptics throughout the land."
A man can succeed and be strong if
he heeds Nature’s warnings. When
there is indigestion, loss of appetite,
ringing in the ears, dizziness, spots be
fore the eyes or palpitation of the heart;
any or all of these symptoms point to
weakness and loss of nutrition. Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the
medicine to turn to.
