MORE KIND WORDS.
The Hawkinsville News and Dis
patch, which is (itself a high
t:pe of country journalism, in -men
tioning several weekly newspapers
upon which it places a high estimate
is kind enough to say :
«Editor Rainey of THE DAWSON
Nuws is having lots of bouquets flung
at him upon the splendid get up of his
paper; and he deserves them all, for
ThE NEWS is one of the best all-round
weeklies in Georgia.”
Other papers which our contempor
ary expresses a high appreciation of
are the Dublin Courier-Dispateh, Val
dosta Times, Marietta Journal. Tifton
Gazette, Oglethorpe Echo, Wayeross |
Journal, Ocilla Dispatch and Fitzger
ald Enterprise. These are all excel
lent weeklies, and do credit to the
towns in which they are published.
A COMMON FAULT.
The people of Macon have gone to
work to build a monument to the
late Hope Polhill. A meeting of
citizens has been held and a large
amount of money was pledged. A com
mittee was appointed to receive, and
not to solicit, further subscriptions in
order that all who may wish to sub
scribe may havean opportunity to do
80. There is no doubt that the monu
ment will be erected.
This is a very proper movement in
Macon and is one that will be appreci
ated, but it shows proneness of people
to postpone until afier a man is dead
appreciation of his life. It isa com
mon fault which it seems will never
be corrected.
THE GEORGIA CHAUTAUQUA,
The thirteenth annual session of the
Georgia Chautaugua will begin at Al
bany on April 21 and continue one
week. The management of the Chau
tauqua have worked untiringly to make
the approaching session the most bril
hant in the history of the institution,
and, judging from the speakers and
musical performers who are on the
program, their efforts will meet with
puccess.
The Georgia Chautauqua has done
much for the promotion of intellectual
progressivenes in this section, and it is
an cnterprise that is worthy of the
commendation and support of all.
BRITISH WARRING ON WOMEN.
The British soldiers in South Africa
have resumed hostilities against wo
men and children. Their excuse for
arresting and corraling Boer women
and children is that they work in the
farms and produce supplies for the
fizhting burghers. A British colonel
also reports that he has captured a
wagon load of women’s clothing from
the enemy, and it is to be inferred
that in South Africa petticoats are con
traband of war.
WE notice that many of our contem
poraries are giving a Norths Carolina
nursery concern a half column adver
tisement for four pecan trecs that are
gmall enough to be sent through the
mail. The proposition this paper re
ceived was thrown into the waste bas
ket, as are all others of a similar na
ture. The principal reason why the
weekly papers cannot command a fair
price for their advertising space, and
bave a continual struggle for exist
ence,is that so many of them will print
any kind of an advertisement for any
thineg that is offered them.
“ONE of the main questions to be
discussed at the next meeting of the
State Bar Association will be whether
or not the legislature shoild change
the method of electing judges and so
licitors by the people to the old plan
of electing them by the legislature,”
says a contemporary. That is
a question for the people and not
for the lawyers to decide. Those
who do the voting seem very well
pleased with the present method of
electing these officials, and it is safe to
say ;here will not be a change soon.
THE position which the Pierpont
Morgan organization holds with ref
erence to the business and political
world is discussed by Mr. John Brisben
Walker in the April Cosmopolitan un
der the title, “The Worid's Greatest
Revolution.” Familiar with the busi
ness world and a student of affairs, Mr.
Walker has, while approving of the
general idea of concentration, drawn
a picture of the power now exercised
which will be a surprise to the great
majority who have not given this sub
ject thoughtful attention.

It is difficult to arrive at a definite
conclusion as to the fruit crop. Ento- }

IT would be refreshing to see some

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Could Be Said of Any Jail Bird.
From the Macon News.
The Washington Post, discussing the
Castellane-De Rodays affair, hasgener
ously come to the conclusion that
Count Boni is in a fair way to rein
state himself with decent men. ‘‘He
has fought a good fight and exhibited
true courage,’the Postsays. ‘‘He need
now only settle down into solid citizen
ghip, stop squandering his wife’s
money and trying to cheat his credit
ors.” The same thing could be said
as to any jail bird.

Judge Sheffield After the Vagrants.
From the Ft. Gaines Sentinel.
Judge Sheflield’s charge to the
grand jury was especially pointed and
urgent on the growing evil of vagrancy
and the result was the indictment of
scveral worthless characters., There
have been some criticisms of the grand
jury for some of its findings and for
lsome things it did not do.
Trusts Will Remain in Charge.
From the Atlanta Journal. '
By the appointment of Mr. Knox to
Attorney General Griggs’ place in the

the legal department of the country.
And the trusts don’t care much who

they are allowed to enforce them.
Solicitor Laing in Clay.
From the Ft. Gaines Sentinel.
Solicitor J. A. Laing made his first
appearance here in his official capacity
and the ability and dispatch with
which he discharged his duties was the
occasion of general remark of a com
plimentary nature. He made many
friends.
Bacon Had Better Look Out.
From the Sparta Ishmaelite,
If Gus Bacon doesn’t mind he will be
arrested as a ‘‘suspect’” when he gets
to Manila, and be exiled by Satrap Mc-
Arthur to the penal colony of Guam.

limp to the altar with a woman whose
walking was the symmetry of motion,
hence he has advertised for a wife who
will limp with him, He prefers one
who limps on the left side, so that

BRYAN’S SCATHING REPLY
TO CLEVELAND’S LETTER.
William J. Bryan gives Grover
Cleye land a hot roasting in the cur
rent issue of the Commoner, replying
to Grover's recent letter to the Balti
more Democratic Club. The article is
entitled ‘‘Five Dollars Reward,” and
says :
“Former President Cleveland' has
written another letter in which he
gives expression toa yearning desire
to have the democratic party ‘return’
to what he regards as true democracy
and correct principles. His advice is
sogeneral and indefinite as tobe utterly
useless. Mr. Cleveland and his politi
cal associates are long on high sound
ing phrases, but short on definitiouns.
“It seems proper that this paper
ghould give the distinguished former
democrat an opportunity to suggest
plans for the democratic structure
which would be commodious enough to
afford a place of refuge for him and at
the same bk‘me allow standing room for
real democrats. A rewari cf five dol
lars is therefore offered for a written
statement, not to exceed five hundred
words, signed by Mr. Cleveland apply
ing democratic prineiples, as he under
stands them, to at least five questions
now before the country.
“An additional reward of one dollar
will be given for a statement, signed
by Mr. Cleveland, explaining why he
considered his opinion on publie ques
tions of no importance during the re
cent campaign, but regardssuch opin
ion as important now. When the bat
tle was on between the republic and
the empire—between democricy and
plutocracy—between bimetallism and
monometallism—he refused to say
word or lift a band in bebalf of the
‘rank and file’ for whoem he now ex
presses such an affectionate solicitude.
He is like a soldier who was described
as ‘invisible in war and invincible in
peace.’ 1f he will clearlyand candidly
define the democratic principles about
which he is so prone to talk the peo
ple can decide for themselves whether
he is the same Mr. Cleveland who
turned the treasury over to a foreign
finaneial syndicate and® intrusted J.
Pierpont Morgan with the combina
tion of the government vaults, or
whetber he has repented of his folly
and is rcady to accept the democratic
creed.”’
WHAT HON. 0. B. STEVENS - |
SAID ABOUT THE NEGRO.
From the Washington Post.
“At different times in my life 1 have
employed a large number of regroes,
frequently as many as 200 or 300,” ob
served Hon. O. B. Stevens of Georgia,
state commissioner of agriculture, at
the Metropolitan. ‘‘As a race they are
indolent and lacking in ambition, but
nevertheless admirably adapted to the
agricultural conditions of the south,
tar beyond any white laborers that
could be brought to us. They have a
large capacity for religious worship
and they likewise want schools. Plenty
of tobacco and rum are also requisites
to make she negro laborer contented. I
always saw to it that a church was
built for the colored communities from
which my negro laborers came, also a
school house. The other two articles
the negroes are generally able to get
for themselves. But while they will
worship fervently at chureh and then
rob a henroost without any conscien
tious scruples a negroonce your friend
is your friend to the end of life. Of
course, 1 am aware that there are
many notable exceptions to the de
scription I have given, but it applies
to the race as a whole in the south,
and will apply for many years to come.
“GGeorgia is prospering immensely,”’
added Mr. Stevens, who came here to
appear before the industrial commis
sion, “‘under the modern program of
diversitied crops. I was an earnest ad
vocate of that before I was elected to
office. I doubt if the Empire State of
the South was ever more prosperous
agriculturally than at piesent ”’

Johnston’s Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES.
A MOST WONDERFUL CURE.
A Grand Old Lady Gives Her Experience.
Mrs. Thankful Orilla Hurd lives in the beautiful village of Brighton,
Livingston Co., Mich. This venerable and highly respected lady was born in
the year 1812, the year of the great war, in Hebron, Washington Co., New
York. She came to Michigan in 1840, the year of “Tippecanoe and Tyler
too.” All her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very re
tentive memory, her mind is full of interesting reminiscenees of her early
life, of the early days of the State of Michigan and the interesting and re
markable people she has met, and the stirring events of which she was a wit
ness. But nothing in her varied and manifold recollections are more mar
velous and worthy of attention than are her experiznces in the use of
JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. Mrs, Hurd inherited a tendency and pre
dispositicn to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood taint which has cursed
and is cursing the lives or thousands and marking thousands more as vie
tims of the death angel. Transmitted from generation to generation, 1t is
found in neary every family in one form or another. It may make its ap
pearance in dreadful running sores, in unsightly swellings in the neck or
goitre, or in eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrane, it
may be known as catarrh in the head, or developing in the lungs it may be,
and often-is, the prime cause of consumption.
Speaking of her case, Mrs. Hurd says: “I was troubled for many years
with a bad skin disease. My arms ang limbs would break out in a mass of
sores, discharging yellow matter. My neck began to swell and became very
unsightly in appearance. My body was covered with scrofulous eruptions..
My eyes were also greatly inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very
much. My blood was in a very bad condition and my head ached severely
at frequent intervals, and I had no appetite. I had sores also in my ears. I
was in a miserable condition, I had tried every remedy that had been recom
mended, and doctor after doctor had failed. One of the best physicians in
the state told me I must die of scrofulous consumption, as internal abcesses
were beginning to form. I atlength was told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and
his famous Sarsaparilla. I trled a bottle, more as an experiment than any
thiag else, as I had no faith in it, and greatly to my agreeable surprise, I
begun to grow better. You can be sure I kept on taking it. I took a great
many bottles. But I steadily improveg until I became entirely well, All the
sores healed up, all the bad symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health,
and I have never been troubled with scrofula since, Of course an old lady
of 83 years Is not a young woman, but I have had remarkably good health
since then, and I firmly believe that JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA is the
greatest blood purifier and the best medicine in the wide world, both for
scrofula and as a spring medicine.” This remarkably interesting old lady did
not lok to be more than sixty, and she repeated several times, “I believe my,
life was saved by JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA."
