Three Proposed Additions to the
State Constitution to Be
Voted on Today.
The voters of the stat 2 will be call
ed on today to vote upon several
amendments to the state constitution.
One of the amendments propoaed
allows the legislature, if the amend
ment is ratified, to elect additional
judges of the superior court whenever
they are needed. In the city circuits
one judge cannot transact all the
business of the court, and the purpose
of the amendments is to allow addi
tional judges to be elected when they
are needed.
Another amendment is for the crea
tion of a court of appeals. At pres
ent the supreme court is badly in need
of relief, and it is believed that the
the court of appeals will bring about
the result wanted.
The other amendment has for its
purpose the creation of Bill Hill coun
ty with Fitzgerald as the county site.
For the purpose of forming Ben
Hill county parts of Irwin and Wil
cox will be taken. The new county,
if formed, will start in with a popu
lation of 12,000. The county will con
tain 366 square miles, more territory
than is now possessed by 66 counties
of the state. The width of the county
will be fourteen miles, and the length
twenty-six miles.
The bill ereating Bill Hill county
passed the senate with but one dis
senting vote, and passed the house by
a vote of 147 for to eight against.
Fitzgerald is to be the county site.
This prosperous city was a big field
‘ast a few vears ago. The people of
.hat town now c¢lain 5,000 inhabitants.
It has a number of elegant business
houses, four banks, many nice dwell
ings, ete.
KILLS CATARRHAL GERMS.
Hyomei's Healing Air Reaches Every
Part of Nose, Throat and Lungs.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Stom
ach dosing does not reach the catarrh
al germs in the air passages and can
not possibly drive them from the sys
tem. By breathing air medicated
with Hyomei the germs in the nose,
throat and lungs are killed and all
traces of catarrhal poison are effect
ually driven out.
Some people may think that Hyomei
is simply for catarrh of the head and
throat, but it is equally effective in
catarrh of the stomach, liver or kid
nevs. The catarrhal germs arc in the
mucous membrane, and Hyormei not
only kills the germs in the air pas
sages, but enters the blood with the
oxygen, thus killing the germs in the
blood and freeing the whole system
from catarrh. : ‘
Hyomei is sold by the Dawson Drug
Co. and Peoples Drug Store under an
absolute guarantee to refund the mon
ey unless it cures. A co;nplet,e outtit
costs but $l, extra bottles' 50 cents.
A guarantee like this is stronger
proof of merit than any claim that
can be made in an advertisement.
They would not give their personal
guarantee in this manner unless they
had perfect confidence in the value of
Hyomei.
SCARLESS SURGERY.
Scarless surgery is oune of the latest
achievements in medical science, says
the Cleveland Leader. The London sur
geon who conceived the idea and suc
cessfully put it in practice is unable to
meet the demands for his services. The
idea is a simple one. In making the
first incision the scalpel does not cut
the skin at right angles with the sur
face, but passes through it at a slant.
After the operation is over the skin is
joined with the greatest nicety, a mag
nifying glass being used to see that the
contact is perfect. Then a rigid dress
ing of wool and glass is applied to pre
vent contraction and as much pressure
is applied as is safe. Naturally much
cdepends upon the skill of the operator.
The surgeon who perfected the process
devotes himself entirely to making in
cisions in the skin and treating them
afterward, leaving the operations prop
er to others.
A Cussless Golf Tourney.
A ‘‘cussless’’ golf tourney was play
ed in Winsted, Conn., a few days ago.
The contestants were thirteen preach
ers, who were pitted against each otk
er for prizes of lemonade. It is as
serted that the very strongest exple
tive heard during the day was, ‘‘My,
my, but that was bad.”
If an article is imitated, the original
is always best. Think it over, and
when you go to buy that box of salve
to keep around the house get De-
Witt’'s Witch Hazel Salve. It is the
original and the name is stamped on
every box. Good for eczema, tetter,
boils, cuts and bruises, and especially
recommended for piles. Sold by Daw
son Drug Co.

THE PEOPLE'S LOBBY
An Organization Which Pro
poses to Watch Congress.
Committee and Legislative Work to
Be Watched Through a Permanent
Bureau at Washington—Mark Twain,
Lincoln Stefifens, John Mitchell and
Others Interested In New Scheme.
If anybody is naughty in congress
hereafter he will have to reckon with
a new foree, says the New York Times.
This is the ‘“people’s lobby,” which is
announced to begin work at Washing
ton at the next session of cougress. Its
first duty, according to the announce
ment in the October number of Suc
cess, which is sponsor for the idea,
will be to watch all committee and leg
islative work through a permanent bu
reau established in Washington and
combat the attorneys for “special in
terests.” Incidentally the bureau will
keep records of the public career of
each senator and representative. There
is to be nothing frantic in the work,
the magazine promises, and politics are
to be faithfully avovided. The an
nouncement says:
“There will not be the slightest feel
ing of antagonism toward congress as
a body. The people’s lobby will mere
ly see in a methodical manner that con
gress hides no secrets, no secret al
liances.” A
The lobby will be to congress and to
national politics what Dun’s and Brad
street’s are to commerecial life, its pro
moters hope, and to give it standing
and to free it from suspicion of maga
zine control a governing committee is
being organized. Mark Twain is nam
ed as a member of this committee.
Half of it is already made up, but it
consists mostly of authors whose names
have been often heralded in connection
with politico economical articles in
the magazines. These include Lincoln
Steffens, Henry Beech Needham, Wil
linm Allen White, the Kansas editor,
and James B. Reynolds, one of the au
thors of the Neill-Reynolds meat in
spection report. Others are R. M.
‘Allen, secretary of the interstate pure
food commission; Francis J. Henry,
special government prosecutor in the
Oregon land fraud cases; John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, and Benjamin Ide Wheel
er, president of the University of Call
fornia.
Henry Beech Needham is credited by
the magazine with being the author of
the scheme. Like most of the members
of the governing committee, he is a
friend of President Roosevelt. As an
author he is known as the man who in
vestigated college athletics for a month
ly magazine a year ago and found tkem
very bad. He bas also written about
Washington lobbying.
Winston Churchill, recent candidate
for governor of New Hampshire; Samuel
Hopkins Adams and Robert Collier
have pledged moral support to the plan.
Active politicians are in it too. In the
list of these are Brand Whitlock, may
or of Toledo; ex-Governor Garvin of
Rhode Island, State Senator Everett
Colby of New Jersey, Seth Low, ex
mayor of New York city, and Gov
ernor (‘harles 8. Deneen of Illinois.
“We believe,” says the editor of Suc
cess, ‘“‘that we can guarantee to the
citizens ef this country that there will
not be a man on the governing com
mittee who would for an instant con
sider a proposition to sell out the peo
ple’s lobby. Neither will there be a
single demagogue or a man who could
be swayed by the demands of dema
gogues for sensational and unsettling
legislation.”
SWARMS OF BUTTERFLIES
Millions Pass Over Brunswick Going
to Tall Marsh Grass.
For several days swarms of butter
flies have passed thtough Brunswick
flying from the north in a straight
southerly course. The butterflies are
of a deep brown color with beautifully
marked wings.
Since Feriday, commencing at anear
ly hour in the morning and lasting
until late in the afternoon, the swarms
tollow each other in quick succession.
Millions upon millions all following
the same course and all coming from
the same direction have attracted gen
eral attention.
It is claimed bv some that the but
tertiies are winging their way to the
tall marsh grass, where they will de
posit their eggs and then die. Noone
has yet discovered from where they
are flving, though farmers from sev
eral miles north of the city report that
swarms are constantly passing their
places. At times on Saturday work
men on the South End work were
delayed by the swarms, which at that
point flew near to the ground, pass
ing out over the water of the bay.
A Use For Peach Stones.
A firm of merchants at Stroud, Mo.,
has shipped 150 ÜbLushels of peach
stones to eastern manufacturers of
flavoring extracts, says the Kansas
City Star. Children in the neighbor
hood of Stroud gathered the stones.
About 5,000 stones makxe a bushel
The merchants have a market for about
700 bushels this season. :
Fruit Served on the Tree.
French bhortlculturists have appar
ently been very successful of late in
raising dwarf fruit trees, and one of
the fzatures of dinner parties among
the rich now is to serve the fruit upon
the tree.

WANTED TO WIPE 'EM OUT
Sheriff Nelms of Fulton County, in
an Incendiary Speech, Call
ed for Volunteers.
Sheriff John W. Nelms swore in 450
deputies during thre Atlanta riot. He
made a speech in the center of the city
calling for deputies, saying he want
ed 500, and spoke of going to Browns
ville and exterminating the negroes
who were responsible for the rioting.
The sheriff’s speech was regarded as
somewhat incendiary, as coming from
a public officer, and later Mayvor
Woodard and Captain James W. En
glish of the police board, in speaking
to a crowd of citizens, took the sheriff
to task for his statements, advising
all citizens to keep the peace and be
law-abiding under any circumstances.
The sheriff applied to Gov. Terrell
for arms tor his deputies, but the gov
ernor stated he had nothing with
which to supply the deputies except
Krag-Jorgensens. He refused to let
the men have these because of the dan
ger in using them on account of their
great carrying power.
THE NEW REST CURE.
Hopping is the exercise prescribea
by the antibeauty doctor who has no
mercy on the lame or the lizy. But
this hopping is not a gymnastic exer
cise, as might be supposed, but work
ing in the hop fields, says a correspond
ent of the New York Press. In Eng
land this newest form of rest cure for
wesaried society persons is carried on
in a camp. Every day, in a special in
closure, these hoppers de luxe, as they
are called, may be seen at work, ap
parently enjoying it. In fact, they as
sert that a week’s hopping is far bet
ter and more pleasant than a rest in
Marienbad. The tents of these well to
do pickers are expensively furnished
and easy chairs, soft beds and up to
date camping outfits are among their
bopping appliances. Their field is
railed off from the ordinary hoppers
and they do not rise so early or work
so late. Of course, their faces are the
hue of lobsters, their hair wind blown
and tousled and their shoes a disgrace
to a civilized community. Oh, it is a
great thing to be a hopper.
Won't Vote tor His Father.

date for county treasurer in Chicago.
