Referring to various rumors that have been current concerning the pu rity of the water supplied by the city, The Herald and Advertiser is author ized to state that samples of the water *re now in the hands of competent chemists and bacteriologists for exami nation and analysis, and as soon as the reports of these tests are received they will he published. The Water and j the State’s unfortunates. Men of this Light Commission have no doubts what- ! calibre are not competent to make laws . r for the people of Georgia, and should ever regarding the wholesomeness of the water furnished by the city, but in order to allay any apprehensions that, may exist, have thought best to submit samples of the water for cx- aminution and analysis. It is proper to state in this connec tion that every precaution has been taken to safeguard the purity of the city’s water supply. The water-shed, comprising about four hundred acres, is under constant police surveillance, and is patrolled at least twice a week. Only a few days ago the reservoir was thoroughly drained and scoured, and all the city hydrants were flushed. A force of hands is now at work clearing the water-shed of all rubbish in the shape of decaying timber and vegeta ble matter, and this rubbish will be burned. The public may rest assured that the Water and Light Commission will spare no effort to make Newnan’s water supply equal to the best in the State, regardless of what it may cost. Vy the way, it is worthy of note that in cwry case of fever reported since canty sowing it lias been found, upon investigation, that the families thus nfllicted were users of well water. It has been shown further that, during the PUIIp. lyeriod, ny case of fever devel oped in households that used city water.

Now the sheriffs of the State have united in a petition to the Railroad Commission to tie allowed free transportation on the railroads while conveying prisoners to and from different points, and while serving official papers. It is pointed out that a useless expense is caused the counties where transportation is paid out of the county treasury. In some cases the counties refuse to pay the railroad fare, and this works a hardship on the sheriffs. The petition of the sheriffs will be heard next Fri day. Coweta’s representatives in the Gen eral Assembly made a record for punc tuality in attendance that was proba bly not equaled by that of any delega tion from any other county. Senator McCollum and Representatives Kirby and Couch were present at every roll- call during the session, and voted on every measure of importance that came up.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there ia at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure In all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraterni ty. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re quires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giv ing the patient strength by building up the con stitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

The State Sanatariurn at Milledge- ville ia being severely criticized by the State press for a general bad condi tion, caused by lack of funds to do bet ter. It would be more just to place thjo blame where it belongs on the Legqslnture for not appropriating enough money to run the institution. The number of patients at the sanato rium increases at a startling rate an nually, increasing expenses out of pro- poJtttiVMt to the increase in appropria tion. Middle Georgia Farmer. This is a fair and truthful answer to the many criticisms aimed at the State Sanatariurn by paroled lunatics and ig norant legislators. The General Assem bly appropriates millions of dollars an nually for common schools, for the State University and its various branches, ijnd for many other objects not half so Reserving of aid as the State Sanuta- ■jiuni, the School for the Deaf and the Academy for the Blind ; yet when these worthy institutions ask for one dollar more than is required for actual sub sistence a great howl is raised about retrenchment and “refawm,” and if they get even a small part of what they beg for they are lucky. There was a disgusting manifestation of this niggardly policy when the appropriation bill was before the Legislature a few days ago. The School for the Deaf asked for enough money to build a new dorini- Cedartown Standard "Gov.

Pease permit space for a mild pro- ] test against the recklessness of some of our local automobilists. It is not in a spirit of narrowness that this card is written. The automobile has a mis sion which the writer appreciates, but a very exciting and impressive experi ence with one of our local machines only recently suggests the thought that, unless the operators of these ma chines learn to regard more seriously the rights of others, we shall in the near future reap our harvest of acci dents, with attendant injuries to per sons and property, and consequent grief and remorse. The incident re ferred to occurred on one of our broad thoroughfares, just outside the city limits, where not a scintilla of excuse existed.

A dozen The trustees asked for $40,000, this sum even being barely sufficient for the object named. After much sense less palaver and haggling about re trenchment. etc., the assembled so- lons finally voted the sum of $7,500— in amount hardly sufficient to purchase furniture and equipment for such a building as is needed. The trustees of the State Sanatariurn asked for an increased appropriation of $20,000 or $80,000 with which to per fect the sanitary equipment of the in stitution, and received, we believe, about $10,000. The Academy for the Blind, doubt less having a painful recollection of mortifying rebuffs at the hands of the Legislature in former years, wisely re frained from asking more than the jsual subsistence fund. Vet the same Legislature cheerfully ■added a quarter of a million dollars to the common school fund, increased the appropriations to the State University, to the School of Technology, to the State Normal School at Athens, m- rreased salaries by many thousands of dollars—and, crowning folly of all, glee fully voted $60,000 to the State College of Agriculture at Athens, an institution that has fewer matriculates, perhaps, than any school in the State, and never will have a graduate, if it .stands a hun dred years. things might have occurred at the in stant to have involved all concerned in a serious accident.
