The Congressional Nominations
The nomination of candidates for
congress should not be on the same
day that state officers, or candidates
for county officers, are nominated.

time for the nomination of candi
dates for congress. We presume
each of Georgia’s eleven jepresenta-
tives in congress desires re-nomina
tion and election, and nearly all
have opposition. There should not
be a decision until there is opportu-
nity to measure the IS i ^jSu'S”sSe MuiS officere, the ju-
vention hah been held and the dec
larations and demands of the plat
form become known to the people.
If there is need for a specific decla
ration of policy and principle, it is
certainly advisable that the nomina
ted candidates for congress be in
harmony with such declaration. It
would be exceedingly impolitic for a
nominee for congress to entef the
campaign for election in opposition
to the platform of his party. That
would not be unlikely should the
nomination be made before the par
ty platform has been declared. As
the national convention will meet on
the fourth of July, no nomination
for a democratic candidate for con
gress should be earlier than the 1st
of August.
Further, there should be no ad
mixture of national and state, or
county politics. There should be no
opportunity whatever for the choice
for congressman to influence in any
degree the choice for a state or
county official.
As to third district, there are said
to be two candidates, Hon. E. B.
Lewis, the present representative,
and Judge Allen Fort. It is Judge
Fort’s declared intention and. desire
to canvas each county in the dis
trict, and the opportunity to do so
should be accorded him. This he
cannot do with credit to himself and
satisfaction to the people if the pri
mary is to be held in May. Con

The train wreck at Powersville
last Saturday evening was a very
disastrous one. !.Tbe freightjtrain
going towards Mi con was running
about 12 miles an hour when it
struck the down freight. Howell
McAffee was engineer. No ooe
was hurt but very little, except
Mr. McAffee, who was bunged up
some by jumping; bis engine was
almost ' completely demolished.
Several cars were smashed up.
Mr, Wheeler, "with his wrecker
gang, worked through Saturday
night; by Sunday at 3 o’clock he
had the whole wreck on the cars
and left for Macon. Mr. Wheeler
is certainly a hustler.
We paid Mr. Harry Coffee a visit
Sunday morning, and spent some
little time with him. Through
the courtesy of Mr. Coffee we were
taken around and made a minute
inspector of the camps. In going
through Mr. Coffee’s books, we
were surprised to.find the expenses
of the chain gaDg so much less
than what it has formerly been.
We found from bis books that the
total expenses of the month of
March was $366 67. Mr. Coffee,
says Commissioner Hays is a very
close buyer, economical and a good
financier.

seem to be iu good ’spirit. The

were confined to bee. only a few days.
They are entirely well now.
On close inspection I could discov
er only slight symptoms of the dis
ease. Mrs. Bivins contracted the
disease while on a visit to’ Uordele
at her mother’s house, where several
cases existed witliout her knowledge.
She returned home,and her husband
and son took it from her.
The disease must Mtve been in a
mild form, as there were only a few
signs of it oh all of them.
They have been, and are still clean
ing up the rooms, have burnt the
bedding, boiled all the bed cover
ings used, and fumigated the rooms
by burning sulpher in them for two
days.
It has been twenty-three (23) days
since Mr. Bivins was taken sick, but
I advised him to stay at home'' two
weeks longer.
Mr. Bivins has two small children,
one 3 years old, tine other 6 months
of age, who have been recently vac
cinated, and show vaccination pus
tules now.
My opinion is that there is no
danger now of any person contract
ing the disease there, and Mr. Biv
ins himself is very careful to keep
everybody away.
I also visited the house of Scott
Livingston, a negro, who has' had
small-pox many years ago, and shows
the marks of it plainly. His wife
and two children about 9 and 12
years old, have a mild form of Vari
oloid now. they were confined to
bed only a few days, and are now
walking about the house and prem
ises; but Yarioloid is contagions, and
any person can contract even a se
vere case of small-pox from it, ac
cording to the. susceptibility of the
person. Many negroes have been
visiting, the house, and I think it ad
visable to place a guard there to
keep others from going in.
I talked with Dr. Roberts, Mr.
John Green Brown, Mr. Riley and
several other gentlemen at Grovania
who told me that to the best of
their knowledge, there were no oth
er cases of small-pox in Grovania or
in that neighborhood.

Hon. Robert Hodges, Macon, Ga. My
Dear Friend: Yon and I are asking at
the hands of the Democrats of tbe nest
legislature an office that will be a great
honor to the fortunate candidate, and one
in which the people of Bibb County have
a vital interest.
I am sure yon will agree with me in the
statement, that when a candidate aspires
to fill an offca like the one we are seek
ing, while it is not elective by the people,
still it is always best-'to allow the people
we seek to serve to express their wishes,
and if possible select the candidate
which they deeiro shall serve them..
This seems to me to be. good Demo
cratic doctrine, and is fair to the people
of Bibb County, fair to ohr- friends
throughout the state, and entirely fair
to ourselves. It is in line wit a the grow
ing sentiment of the people, who really
should be sermitted to express their pref
erence in the selection of all their public
servauts.
As soon as the March blasts cease to
blow and the winds are tempered to the
gentle aspirants, you will see modest can
didates for the legislature in Bibb bad
forth into fragrant blossoms. They will
have important questions to consider.
The convict lease, and other grave and
serious questions will come up before
the next _ legislature. To relieve our
friends of embarrasmeut and to arrange
it so that they may devote their discus
sions to more important questions than
as to whether you or I shall be the next
solicitor-general of the Macon circuit, I
respectfully request that you agree to
allow the matter te be settled at the next
Democratic primary election, which will
be held for selecting representatives to
the legislature.
Let us further agree to invite the Hon.
Robert Holtzclaw and Col. John R- Coop
er who seem to be the only other candi
dates for the place, to join us, and allow,
the voters of the counties embraced in
the Macon judicial circuit to express
their choice at the election I have des
ignated.
I am compelled to believe that such a
plan is just and fair, and is the proper
solution of the matter. We are all anx-
ions to be elected, and I believe the plan
I have suggested (.as there are so many'
of us iu the race) is the only one by
which we raav asrive at a satisfactory
settlement. It will be least expensive to
us, will be ended sooner. There are
many reasons why we should submit to
such arbitrament, and I can’t see a va
lid one against it.
By such a plan we shall be enabled to
preserve that cordial friendship which
has existed among us, which, however,
I trust will continue to exist.in any r event.
It will also relieve our mutual friends
over the state of considerable einbarras-
ment.

MERITORIOUS PREPARATION.
BY AilOS GBAY, JI. D.
United Stitts Health Reports.
After exposing ini1 condemning many
of the doubtful aid even injurious prep
arations for the iair and scalp which are
produced and \ it onYhe market by dif
ferent ruannfact irers,it is indeed a great
relief to be able to mako a report upon
so worthy a pre aration as “Anti-kink ”
It i; a preparation that will straighten
and take the ki: k out of curly hair, and
is manufactured and sold to the trade by
Darragh & Rich of New York City. In
common justice to these gentlemen, we
as heartily comn and it as we have in the
past condemned many so-called hair
growers and restorers, and other prepa
rations for the hiir aud scalp.
For some davl. “Anti-kink” has been
the subject of a ’ painstaking investiga
tion on the part of the compilers of these i
Reports, and a spirit of. fairness impels
the statement that the most searching
examination brought to light much in
connection with "Anti-kink” that is wor
thy of the'highest consideration; in fact,
it in every -respect merits onr highest
praise, and affords the most gratifying
results and absolute safety in its use-
There is no head of hair that is sor
kinky or curly, no matter what the na
tionality or color may be, that a thirty
(30) day treatment of “Anti-kink” will
not straighten out in a most gratifyidg
manner.
If properly ana vigorously applied, as
directed, it will impart such a lustre and
brilliancy to the hair as will make the
use of all other preparations as Brillian-
tine entirely unnecessary.
We have devoted much time and labor
to a thorough investigation of this truly
wonderful hair preparation,in order that
we might intelligently advise onr read
ers all over this broad land, whose_ inqui
ries reach ns by every mail as to its Vir
tues and worth, and it is with a high
degree of satisfaction that we find the
results-of onr investigation warrant us
in giving “Anti-kink” the strongest ed
itorial and official endorsement of the
United States Health Reports. Those
who follow the suggestions herein con
tained may rest assured that in every es
sential feature “Anti-kink” will be found
to be a most excellent article, and sure
to achieve success where directions are
followed. Salesmen.wanted.

boast we have ever made, and that is
in regard to our
Ilf
$10.00 sons...

Right up-to-date. The patterns will suit the
hard to suit, and sizes to fit all shapes. Give
them a look.

if you can give it we would appreciate
the favor. Very truly,
