Jru lliai J IERALD AND ADVERTISER VOL. XLIV NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1908. NO. 7. CASH REBATES FOR Cash Customers F ROM this date every customer entering our store and buying ten cents’ worth or more will receive a cash rebate of one-tenth of the amount of his purchase. This does .not sound as big as drawing a Piano, or a bale of Cotton; but you never drew one anyway, did you? Many contribute to pay for these prizes, but only one can draw it. Now, with our plan, you buy, say, one dollar’s worth. You get ten cents back on the spot. Put these dimes in a savings bank until the end of the year, and you will be surprised at the amount. To those who did not read our letter of Nov. 1 we will add, that there are a few items, which will not be included in the rebate proposition—about half a dozen, which we have contracted to sell at a certain price, and we propose to act in good faith, but these are all. We quote a few items from our china department. (Ten per cent, more than these prices if charged.)

W. J. Bryan retires from the stump after his third defeat for the Presiden cy with the all-round record of being the greatest campaigner this country, or any other, perhaps, has produced. It is a familiar experience in the history of the United States that no great ora tor, as such, ever reached the Presiden cy. The fate of the immortal triumvi rate, Clay, Calhoun and Webster, is a standing illustration of the truth. More recently Jas. G. Blaine, the “plumed knight” of Maine, furnished an illus tration of the same truth. W. J. Bryan is not the equal of Calhoun as a politi cal philosopher and logician ; he is not •the master of florid oratory that Web ster was: he lacks perhaps some of the fire in delivery that rendered Henry Clay invincible before popular audi ences. But by innate ability and much practice he has mastered a pungent and effective style, tending to the an tithesis in character, nnd he possesses I physical attributes that, all told, ren der him the superior of either as a popular orator, and in actual achieve ment he has swayed vaster multitudes than all of them put together ever did. For this very reason, in chief, he is des tined, as they were, never to reach ihe Presidency. In a long and crowded or- ato :ral career he has said things and created antagonisms which place u lim it to his prospects as a candidate for the f Presidency, which three record- breaking trials sufficiently demonstra ted he cannot hope to overcome. The fairest start for the Presidency Mr. Bryan ever enjoyed was in the be ginning of his most recent race, when he returned from his tour of the world and was welcomed home bv a reconciled and well-nigh undivided Democracy. In the great greeting tendered him at Madison Square Garden, through some malign, inexplicable fate, in the face of common caution nnd over the pro test of those who had a right to advise him, he enunciated the new. un-Demo- cratic, well-nigh-unheard-of suggestion of Government ownership of railroads. It was a blunder incredible in its folly and incalculable in its consequences. It offended, insulted deeply, inexcusably, the most deep-rooted fundamental sen timent of his party. It quenched the rising enthusiasm and covered the hosts of Democracy from Maine to Cal ifornia as with a wet blanket, and his subsequent tour of the South that had promised to be a triumphal procession without parallel, was attended with au diences that heard him with respect shorn of enthusiasm. Later Mr. Bryan propounded a new and unheard-of the ory of Democracy, in the initiative and referendum, which did not tend to les sen the disappointment he hud already j created. I In the campaign which he has just concluded Mr. Bryan did wonders to recover his lost ground. He waged a masterly battle from start to finish. He adhered religiously to sound issues, and he never lost a point or failed to turn a trick. He met and vanquished in turn and with the ease of a champion the doughtiest warriors of the opposi tion, including the hitherto invincible “Rough Rider” and his chosen succes sor. Had the chances been even and without great odds to overcome we feel satisfied that, handicapped as he was with his past record, he would have tri- 1 umphed. We believe the free, un bought and untrammeled voice of this ; country is to-day in the majority and i on the side of Democracy. But these were conditions which confronted us, and which had to be taken into account. They are conditions which it is now demonstrated cannot he overcome with Bryan as Democracy’s Candidate. Failing the Republican party to i form within itself the corruption and abuses with which it is notoriously honeycombed, or to check the reckless and merciless greed of the predatory socialism, tending to anarchy and civil war. The Telegraph is no alarmist. But we cannot blind ourselves to the inevitably evil tendencies of n cabal of wealth which has seized on the Nation al Legislature and is relentlessly using it to drain off the earnings of the peo ple into thinr private tills—which, through the instrumentality of monopo ly, puts a limitation on production, at once harrowing to the laborer out of employment nnd enhancing the prices of the necessaries of life. This socialism of the trusts will inevitably breed so cialism among the masses, and when the Buffering of the people becomes in tolerable revolution of some sort will result. The Telegraph will never consent to any form of revolution but that of the ballot-box. If this people cannot re form their government by the exercise of the free ballot, which is yet in their power, then is popular government a failure, and this republic must and should die. But we still believe in the virtue and patriotism of the people. We still be lieve that they will right what is wrong before it is too late, and when they are wisely led. Mr. Bryan has had his day—and a glorious one it has been for him—ns a candidate for the Presidency. In the three races he lias led for the Presiden cy as the candidate of a great party, in spite of successive defeats, he has reaped greater fame than the average President may hope to attain. He is still, nnd will while life lasts continue to be, a great fuvorite with the people. He can do more for Democracy, more for his country, by advocating the elec tion of another when this great undy ing party next takes the field to save the country from its seemingly impend ing fate. No one voice so powerful as his to rally the popular hosts: no Moses so great to lead them, although himself will never taste of the fruits of the Promised Land. It is not too much to say that Wil liam J. Bryan has it within his power to reinvigorate the sinking courage of the patroitic people of this land. It is in his power possibly to save this coun try more truly than ever Lincoln did. by renouncing now a fourth candidacy. Must Provide Pension Money. Atlantn, Nov. 7. — Stute Pension Commissioner John W. Lindsey, while admitting the possibility that the ser vice pension amendment to the State Constitution, ratified by the people in the recent election, may result in add ing $1,000,000 to the pension roll, does not believe that the increase will go to anything like this extent. In a state ment to-day he said that there are ap proximately 25,000 Confederate veter ans nnd widows of veterans in Georgia, of whom 16,000, or nearly that number, are now on the pension rolls. The donth rate is now something like 1.000 a year, despite which the regular list has been constantly growing larger from year to year, until the appropria tions have now reached $1,000,000. ('apt. Lindsey makes the statement that no pensions can be paid under this amendment until after the Legislature has appropriated money for the pur pose. and prescribed qualifications. Practically the only qualifications that can be prescribed are those stated in the amendment that the applicant’s an nual inrome must be less than $300, nnd that lie must have less than $1,600 worth of property. The question of making an appropria tion or not will rest with the coming Legislature when it meets next June. Where it is going to get the money to make any appropriation at all, is the puzzle. There are only two possible solutions of the problem as it now pre sents itself, and these are either an in crease of the tax-rate, which can only be made by Constitutional amendment, or a longer division of the present pen sion fund, which would cut the average pension down in accordance with the number of new pensioners; admitted to the lists. These facts were all made clear prior to the election, but in spite of them the people ratified the pension service amendment by a vote of almost two to Sick Headache and Biliousness re lieved at once with Ring's Little Liver Pills.

There was an amusing incident in connection with a wedding in Philadel phia recently. About 7 o’clock on the morning of the wedding day a messenger boy rang the bell at the home of the bride-elect and handed out a special delivery letter. Thin was addressed to the best man. a Bostonian, who had come to second his best triend in the ceremony, am was, with several others, the guest of the bride’s parents. The best man was still fast asleep: but he was promptly awakened on the supposition that the special delivery missive must contain something of itn portance. And it did. On opening the envelope the recipient whs astonished to find a sheet of letter paper with large needle, of the sort men always chooBe when emergency compels them to sew, thrust through it, and a foot of black thread doubled and trailing in loose tangle down the page. On the letter paper was this hastily scribbled note: Dear Brother—Mother remembered that there was a button off your dress coat. It is in your westcoat right-hand pocket. Hew it on.” Later four bridesmaids gleefully as sisted in making the repairs, and this telegram was sent to mother: “Don’t worry. Button sewed on.” Pinesalve Carbolized acts like a poul tice.

As an illus tration he told the following incident: The mother of a small pupil in a Chi cago school had struggled through the problems assigned for the child’s next lesson, and had finally obtained what appeared to be satisfactory results. The next day, when the little girl re turned from school, the mother in quired, with some curiosity : “Were your problems correct, dear?” “No, mamma.” replied the child. “They were all wrong.” “All wrong?” repeated the amazed parent. “Oh, I’m so sorry.” “Well, mamma, you don’t need to be sorry.” was the reply. “All the other mammas had theirs wrong, too.” Candor. Harper’s Weekly. The Colonel had remonstrated vigor ously with Uncle El>h about the old darkey’s persistent excursions into the state of inebriation. Uncle Eph. though he promised faithfully to refrain from frequent dips into the flowing howl, failed to live up to the Colonel’s expectations. On numerous occasions the Colonel saw Eph under the influence of liquor, but the old darkey when taken to task stoutly denied the accusation, affirming emphatically that he did not drink. One evening the Colonel met Uncle Eph in n condition which made it plain ly evident that the old darkey was “caught with the goods on.” “Eph.” began the Colonel, seriously. “I thought you told me that you had given up drink?” “I sho’ did. Marse Kern’l: I sho’ did,” replied Eph. “But lately I dun took up drinkin’ an’ gib up lyin.” Some women never put checks to their purchases. They leave that for their husbands.

Its name—"Golden Medical Discovery* was suggested by one of Its most Import ant and valuable Ingredients — Golden Seal root. Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis covered that lie could, by the use of pure, triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, ex tract from our most valuable native me dicinal roots their curative properties much I letter than by the use of alcohol, so generally employed. So the now world- famed "Golden Medical Discovery," for the cure of weak stomach, Indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred derangements was first made, as It ever sln&e has (men, without a particle of alcohol Ip Its mal>e-up.
