NEWNAN, FRIDAY, MAY 2 2.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
IN ADVANCE.
A Change of Sentiment.
Macon Telegraph.
Hon. Charles Henderson's election
over Gov. Comer in Alabama curries
with it a deep lesson.
The lesson taught is that the people
do not cure to enter into hnnlher cru
sade against the railroads of I he South.
While Mr. Comer had modified his
views, yet the disasters following the
unfortunate erusnde of 1 DOG were too
fresh in the minds of the people for
them to take uny risks. Mr. Comer
went into office on the anti-railroad war
of r.Kiti. In that campaign he was hit
ter, and aroused the people to a frenzy
against corporations. The same was
done in Georgia and North Carolina.
Samuel Spencer spoke in Montgomery
and set forth what he hud accomplished
in buying up short lines and transform
ing them into great through lines for
the South. He showed what a battle
hail been fought to induce capitalists to
enter the South, and to give the South
those through freight and passenger
lines. That battle won, the next step
was to double-truck the system, with
a view to the opening of the I’unama
canal and ho ready for the vast busi
ness. He appealed to the people not to
hearken to the agitators, hut take a
business view of the situation. If the
agitation was continued it would de
stroy his plans, drive capital from him
and "drown him in the middle of the
stream.” His appeal was in vain. Sple
netic oratory carried the day.
In time a reaction set in. The people
begun to realize what had been- done.
They saw they needed more railroads,
better equipment, better service. They
saw capital had been driven to other
lields. Canada made a bid for it and got
the West Cunu.lu road. All now per
ceive the blunder we made.
Everybody now recognizes the disas
ters tlml came to the railroads by the
panic of l!)l)7. They are just now re
covering from those troubles, and they
are spending money in advertising the
counties through which their lines run.
They are seeking desirable citizens, in
ducing immigration, building up, not
tearing down.
Resides, jthey are business factors,
giving umploymmt to large num
bers of men, and are large purchasers
of our products. Mr. Harrison in his
speech recently before the Macon Cham
ber of Commerce suid:
"Of the total revenue earned by the
Southern Railway Company and its as
sociated companies in Georgia in the
last year the people of the State paid
$7,000,000, but in the same year the
companies actually paid to the citizens
of Georgia and to the Stall', on account
of wages, materials, claims, taxes,
rentals, etc., approximately $8,200,000,
or over $1,000,000 more than it, col
lected from the people of the State.
* • • * • * 4
"I do not claim that the Southern
railway is an eleemosynary institution;
* * * for a large portion of that
million whs disbursed for additions and
betterments to the property.
‘‘What 1 wish to impress is this—that
u vigorous, growing, expanding railroad
system is more than a mere transpor
tation agent; it iH an industry winch is
a benefit to every merchant in the
Stute, exactly us a successful mill is a
benefit to a town.”
The people recognize these tilings
now, and a campaign based on antago
nism to railroads is out of Imruiony
with the minds of the people. They
suspect the motive of the candidate
who injects the railroad issue into his
campaign.
The defeat of Mr. Comer, witli his
wealth and personal inlluenee, shows
the change of public sentiment.
No conspiracy existB to defraud the
State of its lease. The Southern rail
way cunnut be a competitor. The law
precludes it. And all this insinuation
about Hump McWhorter and the South
ern railway and its officials hoping to
secure the lease of the State road is
bosh. They cannot if they would: they
would not if they could. They do not
need it. They have a parallel line. Mr.
Seney, the philanthropist, was one of
the promoters to secure that competing
line. So the Southern is out of the leuse
business. It is barred by law. and, be
sides. does not need it. It has all the
outlet wanted for its connections.
Most Prompt and Effectual Cure for
Bad Colds.
When you have a had cold you want
a remedy that will not only give re
lief, but effects a prompt and perma
nent cure, a remedy that contains noth
ing injurious. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy meets all these requirements.
It acts on nature's plan, relieves the
lungs, aids expectoration, opens the s -
eretions and restores the system to a
healthy condition. This remedy has a
world-wide sale and use, and can al
ways he depended upon. Sold by all
dealers.
If every mother would demand of the
young man who asks her daughter's
hand in marriage the same purity of
character which he demands of the
young lady, a great many men would
be compelled to go through life in dit-
mal bachelorhood.
Comma nlctrd.
Jas. B. Walker for Representa
tive.
This year the citizens of old Coweta
will again he called upon to elect Rep
resentatives to the General Assembly.
We wish, therefore, to vote for a rep
resentative citizen- not a mere candi
date.
it is well to have young blood in our
public bodies;—it is better to have also
enough of that riper wisdom to direct,
restrain and counsel such bodies. One
of Coweta's Representatives should al
ways be a man over 50, Without apol-
ogy —for I do it with pride—I wish to
propose for that position of unselfish
service the name of a citizen of Coweta
county, Ga., —for he belongs to the
whole State. Ho is native-born to
Coweta’s soil; drank at every Bource of
her free institutions; is part and parcel
of every Rtago of her progress for the
last fifty years; in times of peace, a
substantial farmer, sufe juror, friend
of church and public school; in war, a
volunteer for Virginia, finally sealing
hiH high devotion to his mother Slate
with his own blood darkening her proud
soil a fitting altar for a patriot’s of
fering.
I place before you, citizens of Cowe
ta, for your fair consideration, the
name of J. fi. Walker —a Christian
without guile, honest and liberal in his
opinions, an ex-soldier without boast
ing, and a public citizen who never
stalls anywhere. If he consents to run
it should be with a favorable considera
tion to begin with at the hands of the
men, and the sons of the men, who kin
dled a thousand gallant camp-fires from
Richmond to Atlanta.

Helps Kidney and Bladder Trouble—
Everybody Satisfied.
Everywhere people are taking Foley’s
Kidney Fills, and are so well satisfied
they urge others to take them also. A.
T. Kelly, McIntosh, Ala., says: "I rec
ommend them to all who suffer from
kidney troubles and backache -for they
are fine.” Rest thing you can take for
backache, weak back and rheumatism.
For Hale by all dealers.
Heart Burdens.
There are a great many men who
have business burdens. When we see
a man worried and perplexed and an
noyed in business life, we ure apt to say,
“He ought not to have attempted to
carry so much.” Ah, that man may not
be to blame at all. When a man plants a
business he does not know what will be
its branches. There is many a man
with keen foresight and largo business
faculty who has been filing into the dust
by unforeseen circumstances spring
ing upon him from ambush. When to
buy, when to sell, when to trust, and
what amount to credit, what will be
the effect of the now invention of
machinery, wliut will lie the effect of
that loss of crop, and a thousand other
questions perplex business men, until
the li uir is silvered und deep wrinkles
are plowed in the cheek, and they are
at their wits’ ends and stagger like
drunken men.
There never has been a time when
there has been such rivulry in business
as now. It is hardware against hard
ware, books against hooks, chandlery
against, chandlery, imported article
against imported article. A thousand
stores in combat witli another thousand
stores. Never such advantage of light,
never such variety of assortment, never
so much splendor of show-window,
never so much adroitness of salesman
ship, never so much acuteness of ad
vertising, and amid these severities of
rivalry in business many men break
down.
QUICK RELIEF FOR
STOMACH MISERY
Mi-o-nu Will Put Your Sour, Gassy,
Upset Stomach in Order
If you are a stomach sufferer do not
despair—immediate, safe and sure re
lief is at hand. Mi-o-na Stomach Tab
lets, sold in fifty cent boxes at all
drug stores, are a specific for out-of-
order stomachs.
Mi-o-na is not only a quick digestive,
but a stimulant Htid a strengthener of
the stomach walls. It increases the How
of digestive fluids, soothes the irritated
membranes, and puts the stomach in
shape to do the work nature intended.
If suffering with indigestion, dyspep
sia. gastritis, or any of the various
forms of stomach misery, nervousness,
distress after eating, headache, dizzi
ness, or so.ir stomach, do not wait, do
not sillier needlessly take Mi-o-na to
day. John R. Cates sells it on money
buck if not satisfied plan.
In Mexico.
Knnsa* City Star.
When gentlemen greet each other
they embrace and pat each other on the
back.
Ladies kiss each other on both cheeks,
at both meeting and parting.
Everybody shakes hands with every
body on all possible occasions.
Some kiss their mother’s and grand
mother's hands, and often their fath
er's.
The politeness of Mexican servants is
proverbial, and their voices are soft
an>l pleasing.
Children wear mourning in Mexico,
young girls in their ti ens wearing all
black costumes, and little girls of all
sizes wearing white dresses with black
ribbon sashes, and hats trimmed with
black.
On entering a street car or other ve
hicle, or when about to be seated, there
is a repeated exchange of Gaston and
Alphonse "you first" between the se-
nors.
The seat of honor in a Mexican home
is on the sofa beside the hostess. A caller
should not take that seat unless spe
cially invited.
A cigar is lighted before being pre
sented to a friend.
The peon men are obliged to wear
large, heavy straw hats to protect their
heads from the tropical sun, but the
peon women have gone bareheaded for
centuries.
Clerks in the stores and shops of all
kinds smoke while waiting upon custo
mers.
The newcomer must make the first
call, and the "old aettlers” can do as
they please about returning it.
Did you know that CALOMEL IS
MERCURY, and that its mercurious
effects will ruin the system, while
GRIGSBY’S LIV-VER-LAX is purely
vegetable and can ue used with perfect
safety? Ask John R. Cates Drug Co.
We are all naturally dependent upon
the other. A woman with overwrought
nerves is hardly a sane creature, and
the reflex of her sufferings and irrita
bility is felt in a degree by all her
household. It does more harm than
she can ever make amends for by
overwork. The hasty word, the un
just innuendo, reach far and are not
soon forgotten. There are few things
in all the world more cruel and far-
reaching in its effects than injustice to
a little child, who can comprehend no
excuse for it; yet how often are little
children thrust off rudely by over
worked mothers, whose pride has com
pelled them to put many unnecessary
tuckings and puffs in their dainty little
gowns, hut who have forgotten all the
child’s needs of tenderness andspiritua
care.
Over $25,003 Given Away.
The Daily Constitution has just an
nounced a big subscription campaign in
winch over $25,000 will !-e given away.
The prizes consist of thirteen automo
biles, nine $750 self-player pianos, and
many cash awards. The contest is open
to any woman in Georgia or contiguous
territory. if interested, write The
Constitution, Contest Department, At
lanta, Ga., to-day for full particulars.
There are many illustrations that
might be adduced of the art of making
life happy. The management of the
timperis an art full of beneficent re-
s ills. By kindness, cheerfulness and
f irhearanca wo can be happy almost at
will, and at the same time spread hap
piness about on every side. We can
encourage happy thoughts in ourselves
and others. We can be soDer in habit.
We can b; sober in language, and shu n
cursing and swearing—the mo3t useless,
unmeaning and brutal of vulgarities.
Nothing can be so silly and unmeaning—
not to say shocking, repulsive and sin
ful—as the oaths so common upon
street corners. They are profanation
without purpose, impiety without pro
vocation, blasphemy without excuse.
Man is a creature of interest and am
bition. His nature leads him forth into
the struggle and bustle of the world.
Live is but the embellishment of his
early life, or a song piped in the inter
vals of the acts. He seeks for fame
and fortune, for space in the world’s
thought and dominion over his fellow-
men. But a woman’s whole life is a
history of her affections. The heart is
her world; it is there that her ambition
strives for empire; it is there her
avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She
sends forth her sympathies on adven
ture; she embarks her whole soul in
the traffi: of affections; and, if ship
wrecked, her case is hopeless, for it is
bankruptcy of the heart.
Father and Sen.
The average father and son are pret
ty good comrades up to the time that
the boy becomes of high school age.
They play together and work together.
One sees them taking long walks on
Sunday, and going fishing on holidays.
The boy can have a better time with
his “dad” than with any of his play
mates, and as for “dad,” he would
rather lose a linger than disappoint the
"kid.” So they continue cronies and
pal3 up to the very time that the boy
needs father most, and the father needs
the boy; then they separate. In the
next five yeafs the Y. M. C. A. secre
tary or the athletic coach can tell the
father more about his son than he
knows himself.
W hen the boy goes away to school
and forms new associations the distance
between the two increases. A surpris
ing number of letters from fathers to
sons in college take the form of hastily
scribbled checks. At the end of school
days father und son feel an ill-defined
uneasiness in each other’s presence.
They have nothing in common. The
father fears that the son may think
him old-fashioned, and the son fences,
expecting every moment some solemn
ly delivered “good advice."
It is unfortunate that it is so, but the
fact may as well he faced. There are
exceptions, and these constitute a pe
culiarly happy contrast.
What is finer, indeed, than the sight
of a youth admitted into the circle of
his father’s friends? The boy that is a
companion of "dad” all the way may
not know more than the boy that had
drifted from his father, but he has less
to unlearn.
Health a Factor in Success.
The largest factor contributing to a
man's success is undoubtedly health. It
has been observed that a man is sel
dom sick when his bowels are regular—
he is never well when they are consti
pated. For constipation you will find
nothing quite so good as Chamberlain’s
Tablets. They not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion. They are
sold by all dealers.
The fig tree was blasted, not for
bearing fruit. If we would give to the
good that is in us, we must make that
good manifest in our lives.
It is said that the two best things the
Creator allowed to escape from heaven
to gladden and beautify the earth were
women and flowers.

In Overcoming Blood Trouble Do Not Be Fooled

Study the Game and You Win Understand Why Some Things Are Deceptive,
In fronting any blood disorder tho funda
mental fact must bo observed that tho aim
and object of tho medicine used Is to permit
a hit, a home run and a sure, sale hit
every tlmo.
Now tho prnpulslvo effort of P. P. P. Is to
regulate the blood formation, to assist In
development of tissue and to have a decided
bearing upon the lymphatic Influence, nil of
which Is in the promotion of blood health.
And this propulsive effect will be similar
to the straight hall pitched to Insure a
safe hit and not the deceptive gyrations
designed to fool the batter. P. P.\s. Is a
Plain, straight blood purifier. It Is not a
fanciful mixture to move the bowels and
thus falsely play upon susceptible minds.
It is not a nerve excitant to exhilarate for
the moment and then die away. It con
tains none of those mineral drugs which
dry tip the tissues. In other words, if does
not piny to the bleachers nor to the “fans.”
It is Just a wholesome, powerful, searching
blood remedy, one ingredient of which
serves the active purpose of arousing each
cellular part of tho tissues to select from
tho blood the nutriment or materials re.
qulred for renewal of health.
S. P. S. Is prepared from nature's own
materials, not an ounce of drugs being used.
And yet It Is more potent, more powerful,
more sehrehing and more productive of
restorative results than from the rnoRt
active of all the minerals employed in
medicine.
Its action by elimination of tho Irritating
poisons that Infect the blood. Is one of th-»
very Important things to know.
You can get S. S. S. at any drug store,
but take no other so-called blood purifier
falsely claimed "Just ns good."
P. P. S. Is prepared by The Pwlft Specific
CV)., 000 Pwlft Bldg., Atlanta. On., and If
you have any deep-seated or obstinate blood’
trouble, write to their Medical Dept, for
