r V . —• i— The Herald and Advertiser 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.

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.

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 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.
