SIGNIFICANT FACTS.
The Maeon News says “It is a
rather significant fact that in two
of the primaries which have been
held up to this time Prohibition
candidates have been successful
before the people. Iu the Butts
county primary held last week,
Mr. Atkinson, the prohibition
candidate for the senate, defeated
Judge Frank Curry, his opponent,
who was an open liquor advocate,
by a good majority. In the pri
mary in Randolph county this
week for the election of county
officers and representatives iu the
General Assembly, Hon. L. A.
Duggan, the prohibition candi
date for the House, defeated Hon.
W. \V. Dows, who was nil advo
cate of the dispensary system, by
a good majority. Mr. Dows has
served iu the General Assembly
before and had made a good re
cord, therefore his defeat by the
prohibition candidate is doubly
significant.”
There are other significant facts
that point to the election of Mr.
Onerry sb the next governor of
Georgia.

A Word In Kindness of Three Good
Men.
Thu Constitution writes, “a
word in kindness to Mr. Guerry.”
The fact is the Constitution lias
not been kind to Mr. Guerry. In
common with nearly every daily
paper in the state the Consttution
has been very unkind to Mr.
Guerry’s candidacy; they iiavo
been sometimes unfair. We be
lieve he lias been wrongly treated
iu tho Gainesville interview. His
written interview on that occasion
ought to have satisfied the papers
and it was unkindness that result
ed ill tlie publication in cornice
tion with his written statement,
is private criticism of the Tele
graph and its editor. Besides it
was a discourtesy to the editor of
the Telegraph—an ignominious
and uncalled for publication, of
Editor Pendleton as a drunkard.
We know the editors of the Con
stitution and Telegraph and Mr.
Guerry personally, wo love them
and admire them as three of the
brainiest and best mon in the
state. The two latter havo suffered
great wrong, are the victims of
great ttnkiiidiiess in this instance.

HIS STORY OF,
THE KILLING.
The Waycross Bottling Works
has just purchased a handsome
new wagon and harness, and have
recently added sufficient equip
ment to make it the finest soda
water plant iu all Wiregrasa
Georgia.
Indeed, it would be difficult to
find a more complete plant in
Georgia, than Messrs. O’Hsgan
and Cowart have fitted up in the
opera house building.
However, the very finest plants
do not always tarn out the best
article of soda. In respect to
quality, is where the Waycross
Bottliug Works excels. The
flavors used are the fiuest in the
world, and the mixing which is
the all important point}' has
reached a science with this com
pany. For a delicate drinlc, no
soda has ever been made in this
section, to equal that of the Way-
cross Bottling Works.
The trade is opening up now,
in great shape, and as this com
pany ships m every direction, it
is a beehive of a business in its
factory.

queutiy.
The day of tho tragedy lie

was too much of a coward to shoot
him. McClean reached down in his
buggy as if to get his gun when he
fired and killed him.
Robinson says McClean lmd
tried frequently to kill him and
felt his life was in danger when
ever he weut, as McClean had fol
lowed him frequently.
He feels confident that he will
oome clear and says this is a groat
source of mortification to him.

DRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE. j
Another rediculon* food fad baa
been branded by the most compe
tent authorities. They have dis-
[lolled the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brajn,
another for muscles, and still
another for hones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but it will sus
tain every other part. Yet how
ever good your food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indiges
tion or dyspepsia. You must pre
pare for their appearance or pre
vent their coming by taking regu
lar doses of Green’s Angust Flow
er, the favorite medicine of ~
healthy millions- A few di
aids digeation, stimulates the l 1

Give them oil—cod-liver oil.
It’s curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
ful child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, antemic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take aflat-
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
It has been done for years.
Of course you must use the
right oil. Scott’s Emulsion
is the one.
Scott’s Emulsion neither
looks nor tastes like oil becausi
we are so.careful in making i'
pleasant to take.
