May Not Be Good Politics.
Albany Herald.
A report comes from Atlanta that
Hon. J. Ogden Persons, President of
the State Senate, will probably be a
candidate for the House from Monroe
county, and that in the event of hia
election he will make the race for
Speaker of the House. An effort was
recently made in Mr, Persons’ Sena
torial district to clear the way for his
election for another term in the Sen
ate, but Pike county refused to be a
party to the proposed arrangement,
and Pike, not Monroe, will name the
next Senator.
Mr. Persona iB a most excellent gen
tleman, and he has ability of an unu
sually high order. His politiclal future
is bright, but he has some friends
whose zealous efforts in his behalf are
apt to.prove more harmful than help
ful, Once the public gets the impres
sion that a certain man, or the friends
of that man, are pushing him to the
front for more than a fair ahare of the
more desirable public office^ or are
seeking hia “political promotion” by
more rapid stages than circumstances
Beem to justify, the effect, so far as
his political future is concerned, is apt
to be harmful,
Mr. PeraonB’ friends almost had him
in the race for Governor a few weeks
ago. Now they seem bent on getting
him into the Speakership of the Houae,
probably with a view to having him

Governorship two years hence.

"Clean-Up Week” in Newnan.
From April 5 to April 11 will be
“clean-up week” in Newnan. The
year’s accumulation of rubbish is to
be gatiiered up and set out ready for
the trash wagon. Yards are to be
put,; id order, houses and out-build
ings are to be painted, fences and
sheds to be repaired, vacant lota to bo
cleared of weeds, and everything to be
Ihade spick and span, freah and whole-
' some, and altogether delightful.
That ia to aay, all this will be done
if every householder does what iB ex
pected of him by the clean-up and
paint-lip committees which are con
ducting the campaign.
And why should it not be done? The
expense for each home will not be
great, the labor need not be hard, and
the result will be something for all of
ns to onjoy and perhaps to brag about.
For a clean city or town iB eminently
desirable, not bo much because of its
greater attractions, although that alone
is wwth all the effort, but because of
its increased healthfulneea. Dirt breeds
disease, and cleanliness is the first prin
ciple of sanitation.
So let us all join and make our city
shine like a boy’s face after the mater
nal scrub. Let ua dig down into the
dark corners of our basements and
closets, throw out ail the old rags and
papers, wash the fly-screens and get
them in place/get busy with the paint
brush and the pruning-knife and the
lawn-mower, and the result will be
surprising.
These days we sit on the sunny side
of the car, walk on the sunny aide of
the street and Bit in the sunny window
of the house. Let us also walk on the
sunny'side of life and see the sunny
side of the disjointed things of life.
The fool never stops to count the
cost until the bill collector calls.
The Court of Last Resort.
Around the Btove of the cross roads
grocery is the real court of last reaort,
for it finally over-ruleB all others.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been
brought before this court in almoat
every crosB roads grocery in this coun
try, and has always a favorable verdict.
It ia in the country where man expects
to receive full value for his money that
this remedy is most appreciated. Ob
tainable everywhere.
A MERCILESS JUDGE.
One Who Shows No Favor.
A merciless Judge is Father Time;
Before him the weak and the wanting
go to the wall. Only the truth can
stand. For years the following state
ment from a Newnan resident has
withstood thiB sternest of all tests.
H. W. Jennings, machinist, 78 Mur
ray street, Newnan, says: “For sev
eral years I had been subject to at
tacks of kidney complaint. They came-
on me after Siny exposure or when T
got cold. At such times my kidneys
were irregular in action and my back
pained and ached and made it hard for
me to do any work. Since learning of
Doan’s Kidney fills, I have never suf
fered an attack but what they have re
lieved every symptom of the com
plaint.” (Statement given February
20, ion)--- -
LASTING RESULTS.
Over four years later, Mr. Jenning*
said: “I have had no occasion to use
Doan’s Kidney Pills for some time.”
Price 50c„ at all dealers. Don’t sim-
£ ly ask for a kidney remedy—get
loan’s Kidnoy Pills—the same that
Mr. Jennings haB twice publicly recom
mended. Foeter-Milbum Go., Props.,
