C. ' 5 The formal announcement of Hon. E. B. Lewis for Congress will ap pear in tlifi Hosie Joubnal next week. The Georgia fruit crop is yet alive and growing. Two Filipinos were hung for mur der at Manila last Friday. The grand chapter of Boyal Arch Masons of Georgia will meet in Ma-, con on the 25th inst. It is now a violation of municipal * law for any one to spit on the paved sidewalks of Macon. Peospetity that is circumscribed by city limits is neither healthful nor desirable. The man who seeks to array town people against country /people is neither just nor patriotic. Alleged assassins of Gov. Goebel of Kentucky will be placed on trial at Frankfort this week. The limit of danger to the fruit cro^ from cold is fixed at the 15th of Aprils—about the full moon period. Ample Georgia markets for Geor gia products will increase the prod ucts and the profits of producing them. * A'pboduceb cannot be prosperous unless he makes more than he con sumes, and can sell the surplus at a reasonable profit. About $3,000 was raised in Macon lor foreign missions last Sunday by Dr. J. R. Willingham, corresponding secretary of the Southern Baptist Church. 1 Abbaegemehts are in progress for an agricultural street fair in Macon next October. The plan outlined will afford an attractive and merito rious display of Georgia industry. When all the bread and meat used in Georgia is made of Georgia prod ucts, agricultural-prosperity in Geor gia will be apparent to all men and eminently satisfactory. 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. Committee HFectBun The Georgia state democratic ex- * a . ntivo Pnmmiftpp has decided that organizing. The Democratic Executive, Com mittee of Houston county, selected by a mass, meeting held at the court house this April 2nd, .1900, met im mediately thereafter for the purpose The committee was organized by the election of C.

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 gressmen Lewis cannot canvas at all before May 15th unless he for-.

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. Tbe convicts all look, well and seem to be iu good ’spirit. The mules are kept fat and sleek. Tbe guards are polite and gentlemanly. After spending some time with Mr. Coffee at camp a , we rode oat and dined with Mr. and Mrs. Hays at their cosy home. Oar visit was pleasant; some friends from. Macon came out to spend the day with Mr. and Mrs. Hays. Mrs. ijays excelled her reputation as an entertainer. On that occasion every one was made tofeel’pleasant. V*-. ,—' i Tlie Best in tbe World.

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. J. B. Smith, H. D. Perry, Georgia March 30th, 1900. I add in the ease of Scott Livings ton’s family,in the cases of Yarioloid the pustules are nearly all dried np and no scabs discoverable. J.

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. .This is similar to the plan J idge Crisp has suggested to Messrs.

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.
