Two Candidates for Governor.
Pebbt, Thubsday, Apbil 14.
Our Relations with Spain.
It is not yet decided whether
there will he war with Spain, though
six days ago war was thought to be
inevitable. President McKinley sent
a message to congress reviewing
the situation, and asking authority
to restore peace in Cuba by means
of armed intervention, if necessary.
He also recommended an appropria
tion for the starving Cubans, but
did not suggest recognition of Cu
ban independence.
Consul General Lee is at Wash
ington, having left Cuba with the
other Americans there last Sunday.
Several European powers, includ-
Great Britain, offered their good
offices to preserve peace.
Spain has declared an armistice
for five days in Cuba.
The president’s message was re
ferred to the foreign affairs commit
tees, and it may be that congress
will take decisive action to-day. It
looks like war, and congress may
have so decided to-day—Wednes
day.
Superior Court.
The court aad grand jury ad
journed over from late Friday
afternoon to Monday morning.
Monday afternoon at about 4
o’clock, the general presentments
were read in open court, and the
grand jury was discharged for the
term.
The criminal docket was taken
up Tuesday morning, and 7 or 8
cases were disposed of during the
day—five pllas of guilty.
Court will probably adjourn
for the term today. We may pre
sent particulars of the court next
week.
Col. Candler, and some of the
“men who control” his campaign,
declare that Atkinson and Berner
are in collusion to defeat him for the
democratic nomination for governor.
Berner and Atkinson deny most em
phatically this declaration, and we
believe they speak the truth. Col.
Candler, however, and his friends,
had declared that his nomination
was sure before either of the others
had announced for the governorship.
With truth in this, then it at once
became necessary for Col. Candler’s
strength to be reduced before there
could be any chance of success for
either of the others.
An increase in the enlistment of
Georgia military companies has been
ordered. It is intended that each
company shall contain 75 men, thus
increasing by 3,000 the number of
Georgia troops. The company com
manders are ordered to prepare lists
of members disqualified for active
service. If the troops of the state
are called into active service, the
federal government will properly
arm and equip them.
The Atlanta Constitution is mak
ing a mountain out of a mole-hill
in making a political conspiracy of
the meeting of Atkinson and Bemer
in the Macon Telegraph office last
Friday night. If two candidates
can defeat the will of the people,
then the conclusion is just that “the
people” are a sorrry lot of folks.
Many opponents of CoL Candler
for the governorship of Georgia say
they have no objection, personally,
to CoL Candler, but that they have
little faith in the motives of “the
men who control” the Colonel’s
campaign.
It is now almost certain that
Lewis and Taylor will be the only
candidates to represent the third
district in the next congress. Lewis
will be renominated an<J elected, as
he should be.
■ The Georgia Epworth League in
conference at Macon last week,
adopted resolutions in favor of the
anti-barroom bill introduced in the
Georgia legislature at the last ses-
The democratic executive commit
tees of Hall and Habersham counties
have requested the candidates for
governor to indulge in joint debates
in their counties.
The Atlanta Constitution, CoL
Candler and bis confidential politi
cal advisers are very much mistaken
when they assume to be “the people
of Georgia.”
Agents of the Spanish government
were buying mules in Atlanta last
week Several carloads were sent to
New Orleans for shipment to Cuba.
The Ocmulgee Chautauqua will
open at Hawkinsville on April 28,
and continue to May 7.
The Georgia Grand Lodge of the
Knights of Honor met in Macon
Wednesday morning.
Two candidates for governor of
Georgia addressed the people of
Houston county at Perry last week,
Hon. Robert L. Berner on Thurs
day, and Judge Spencer Atkinson on
Friday.
At 11:30 a. m., in the Superior
court room, State Senator C. E.
Gray in a short speech commenda
tory of the distinguished gentle
man’s staunch democracy and faith
ful service to the state, introduced
Mr. Bemer to an audience of voters
that completely filled the court room.
The Speaker captured the croud
early, and they listened attentively,
often applauding, for about two and
a half hours, though few of them
had eaten dinner that day. Prior
to that speech there were compara
tively few Bemer men in town, but
afterward there were scores, and
their number is increasing in the
county. It was truly a vote-mak
ing speech, clear, convincing, elo
quent. Mr. Bemer spoke of his
own record, showing his devotion to
democracy and his faithfulness to
the material interests of Georgia.
He declared emphatically that,
should he be defeated for the nomi
nation for Governor, he will cheer
fully take the stump for his success
ful opponent. His position concern
ing corporations is not near so rdai-
cal as the Atlanta Constitution
would make the people believe. He
declared with much emphisis that
he only desires that corporations
shall obey the constitution of the
state with regard to controlling, or
owning stock in railroads so as to
lessen or defeat competetition.
He declared that as much as lower
taxation is desired, he is opposed to
lessening in any degree the common
school fund or the pensions to dis
abled and indigent veterans and
widows of veterans. He declared
his opposition to municipal tax ex
emption of industrial corporations.
He criticised CoL Candler for his
attack upon democrats who opposed
Gen. Evans in 1894, declaring that
while condemning the methods by
which Gov. Atkinson was nominated,
CoL Candler was nominated with
Gov. Atkinson by the same conven
tion.
He characterized CoL Candler as
a professed peace-maker, but an
actual peace-breaker. In defending
himself against CoL Candler, he
says the Colonel has got upon the
Bemer “wrecking” platform, after
denouncing it, and insisted that
Candler should “come out in open”
and meet him in debate. He also
criticised Judge Atkinson severely,
and declared that he expected to
meet him in debate, Mi - . Bemer
made a splendid speech, many who
heard it, declaring it to be the best
political address they ever heard.
Friday morning Judge Spencer
Atkinson came to Perry, and at
about 11:30 a. m. CoL C. C. Duncan,
in a very neat and complimentary
speech, introduced him to a large
audience of Houston citizens in the
Superior court room. The speech
occupied about two hours, and was
decidedly good, though the speaker
did not hold the crowd as well as
Bemer did the day before.
He rendered a good account of
himself, contended that Berner was
appealing to prejudice and not to
reasoh in his corporation attitude,
and in his opposition to tax exemp
tion by municipalties to manufactur
ing enterprises. He criticised CoL
Candler for accepting office at the
hands of those who “ravished the
democratic party in 1894,” and de
clared that the Atlanta Constitution
would be the power behind the gov
ernor, should CoL Candler be elect--
ed.
He made a favorable impression,
but we do not know that he made
any votes.
Both Bemer and Atkinson denied
the charge that either is the “run
ning mate” of the other, or that they
are agreed in a main purpose to de
feat Candler.

—The Bonaire correspondent of
the Macon Telegraph writes that
paper under date of April 9:
“Fruit has not been injured by
the frosts that visited our section
the present week. In order to as
sure ourselves of the fact, we have
examined fruit on many trees and
find it intact thus far.”

Perry, Ga., April 11, 189S.
We, the undersinged members of
the Grand Jury chosen and sworn
for the April term of Houston Supe
rior court, would respectfully beg
leave to submit the following pre
sentments.
Through the several committees
appointed we would make the fol
lowing report:
1st. The committee on public rec
ords were unable to examine the
books of the county in such a man
ner as they deemed proper in the
limited time allowed them, and in
their report recommended that a
committee be appointed to make a
thorough investigation of all rec
ords, papers and funds in the hands
of the officials, and to extend their
investigation over past records as in
their judgment they find necessary,
and make a full report to the Grand
Jury at the October term. This com
mittee to consist of three persons,
who shall receive for their services
regular jury pay. They are not to
extend their labors over ten days,
and to complate the work in as much
shorter time as possible. The follow
ing committee were appointed: M.
F. Etheridge, C. F. Cooper and V.
E. Heard.
The roads of the county were in
fail - condition until the heavy rain of
last week. They now need immedi
ate attention. We would also re
quest the commissioners to look after'
ther interest of the Lawson bridge.
We find at the chaingang 37 pris
oners, all able-bodied men but one,
who is in the hospital with rheuma
tism. There are 15 mules in fail-
condition. The camp-houses, &c., are
in good condition. There are now in
the gang 13 convicts hired from Ma
con county—12 at the rate of §4 per
month and one at §2 per month. We
would recommend that the commis
sioners use convicts of Houston
county instead of hiring from anoth
er county.
We would recommend that the
commissioners publish once a month
to whom all money has been paid
during the month preceding, and
amount to each person, except that
the money for paupers be made in
one item.
We find all the public buildings
in good condition and the sanitary
condition excellent. The buildings
at poor farm need some repairs on
windows and steps. There are 9 in
mates, all colored females. Every
thing is clean and well cared for,and
there is plenty of good food furnish
ed. We find no coffee is allowed in
mates, and would recommend that
a reasonable amount be furnished
them.
Two vacancies occurring on the
board of education on account of ex-
piration of term of office, the follow
ing were elected: Messrss H. E.
Murray and J. F. Houser.
Mr. E. S. Wellons, county school
commissioner, reported that there
were now in operation 61 schools
28 white and 33 colored—employing
61 principal teachers and 31 assist
ants. Total amount of money paid
to teachers in the county, $9,189.27.
The average attendance is 73
against 67 in 1896 in white schools,
while in colored schools the average
fell behind 10 per cent, that of 1896.
The money paid Public School of
Perry was $1006.59; Fort Valley,
$1858.48. Amount of expense of
county school commissioner, board
of education, advertising, &c., $643.-
89; balance in the hands of com
missioner Jan. 1st, 1898, $502.92.
Vacancies occurring in offices of
N. P. ex., and J, P., the following
were re-elected:
Chester Pearce, District 926.
C. H. Moore, District 619.
G. M. T. Feagin, District 500.
W. L. Carr was elected N. P. ex.,
and J. P. to fill vacancy in District
928.
The balance in hands of county
treasurer April 1st, 1898, $5261.25.
We would fix the salary of county
judge to be twelve hundred dollars.
We recommend that the report of
Judge Riley be incorporated and
published with these presentments,
Books of N. P. Ex and J. P.: We
find some books kept with pencil and
some with charges not fully canned
out. We recommend all entries be
made with ink, and all charges prop
erly entered, and would also recom
mend that a full list of fees be made
out and posted in the office of the
justice in accordance with the law.
We would recommend that these
presentments be published in the
Home Journal and Fort Valley
Leader at a cost not to exceed ten
dollars each paper.
In taking leave of the court, we
extend our thanks to Judge W. H.
Felton for courtesies shown, and al
so to Solicitor General R. H. Hodges
for the very willing and efficient
manner in which he has responded
to the numerous calls of the Grand
Jury.

A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but
there is really uo trick about it.
Anybody can try it wbo has Lame
Back aDd Weak Kidneys, Malaria
or nervous troubles. We mean lie
can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medi
cine tones up the whole system
acts as a stimulant to the Liver and
Kidneys, is a blood purifier and
nerve tonic. It cures Constipa
tion, Headache, Fainting Spells
Sleeplessness and Melancholy. It
is purely vegetable, a mild laxative,
aud restores the system to its nat
ural vigor. Try Electric Bitters
and be convinced that they are a
miracle worker. Every bottle guar

The remains of Mrs. - Frances E.
Willard, the celebrated president
of the Woman’s Christian Temper
ance Union, were cremated at Grace-

day.
It is a great leap from the old
fashioned doses of blue-mass and
nauseous physics to the pleasaut

iousness. Cooper’s Drugstore
HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-fonr hours:
a sediment or settling indicates an un
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate, or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out or order.
"WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. It corrects inabil
ity to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing ik or bad effects following use of
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of having to get up
many times daring the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you have the best. | Sold by
