democratic primary, to be. held on

those principles and promote the

Judge Fort’s announcement for
congress insures a lively campaign
in the third district, as it is his ex
pressed purpose to make a thorough
canvass of the district. As judge of
the superior court and as'a member
os the state railroad commission,
Judge Fort earned distinction and
-popularity. In 1896 he made a
creditable race in opposition to Mr.
Lewis, and his friends will be vigor-
I; ous in' their support this time. ,
We notice that our, young friend,
Tom Felder, is a candidate to rep
resent Bibb county in the legisla
ture. ■’He was born in Perry, and we
are glad to see him occupying a
front position in his profession, the
law. We have known him since ba
byhood, almost, and we are prepared
to endorse him without reservation.
His native talent, education and
business acquirements qualify hind
in a positive degree for the position
of honor to which he aspires. Tom
has won what he has by earnest ap
plication guided by good sense and
judgment. Could .Houston people
vote for him, Tom Felder would un
doubtedly be elected.
The Kentucky court of appeals
decided last week that Gov. Beck
ham, democrat, is the .legal chief
magistrate of thatstate. The con
test was represented by able counsel
on both sides. The court is com
posed of seven judges, four demo
crats and three republicans. Two of
the republicans sustained the decis
ion in favor of Beckham. It is said
the republicans will carry the case to
the United States supreme court.
A special to the Atlanta Constitu
tion says; “There arer no signs of
abatement of the popular indigna
tion against the unfair treatment of
Porto Rico by the republican ad
ministration. The revolt on the part
of the republican masses seems to be
increasing rather than diminishing,
and the republican leaders do not
attempt to conceal their anxiety over
the situation.”
Georgia populists met in conven
tion in Atlanta Tuesday, and it is
said a state ticket will certainly be
placed in the field., Col.-W. L.JPeek
most likely has been nominated for

were prominently mentioned for that

the nomination for vice president if treated each constituent with the
he will take it. In fact, a boom for
him for this post has sprung up with
unexamplecLrapidity, the only doubt
being whether he will accept. But
to run on an independent ticket
would be sure defeat, and it is be
lieved that he will accept the vice-'
presidential post after he finds that
he can get nothing else. He may
continue Iris striving for the first
place up to' the very nomination of
Bryan, and yet accept. t|ie vice pres
idency. Shrewd leaders base their
idea that he will do this on the mo
tive which has undoubtedly led him
to be a candidate for office at all.
They say that it is Mrs. Dewey’s
doings. She wants the right of
precedence at all functions, and if
she cannot get to the very top, will
probably big coritented with the sec
ond place. As wife of the vice pres
ident, she will precede all the am
bassadors’ wives, the wives of the
supreme court justices and senators
—everybody, in fact, except the wife
of the president. Further, Dewey
would not lose his place in the navy
by accepting. He could go on the
retired list and hold both places at
once, drawing the salary of either
one while vice president, and going
back to his navy post aftei the close
of his term.”

after and taking care of their every

tinuence of their support, promising
my ceaseless vigilance and untiring

officially advised of any opposition
to me, I feel it my duty to make

In offering for re-olection, Mr.
Lewis only asks for the endorsement
that he deserves. He is in thorough
accord with the democratic party oh
national issues, and in close sympa
thy with the people in- affairs that
concern them vitally in every-day
business. He knows the needs of
the people, and his record in con
gress proves that he is anxious to
serve his constituents whenever op
portunity i8 presented, tn this cam

partisan, but just now we feel con
strained to say that we are convinc

active man for his hge. He was 80
years of age on. March 17 th, and is
as active and erect as many men a
score of years younger. He was
born in London, England, but has
lived in Macon 57 years. 'He was
honorably discharged from the U. S.
naval service on March 24 th, 1844,
under the signature of Capt. R. F.
Stockton, of the ship Princeton. He
served through the Confederate war,

members of the Macon Volunteers
who returned home from, the war.
Mr. Isaacs is well known throughout
the state, and is now personally
managing the popular Cafe on Third
street, Macon, Ga.
The candidacy of Admiral Dewey
is laughed at by leading politicians
throughout the country, and it is not
believed he can secure the nomina

parties. He declares himself a dem
ocrat, but does not deny that he will
be ah independent candidate in case

My Dear Father:—
I have been expecting a letter
from you for a long while, but so
far have been disappointed. I have
been in the hospital for some time,
but am now much better. I like this
country very much. The flowers
bloom all the year roancC and there
is every kind of fruit one can think
of and some that people in the
States never heard of. Monkeys run
wild here the same as squirrels at
home. This is now the dry season;
the wet season will begin in June or
July. I think the fighting is about
over here, although they are still
fighting some all the time.
Write to me soon and tell me how
all the family are getting along, and
also give me all the neighborhood
news. Write soon.
Your affectionate son,
Emanuel Todd.

After exposing^aij^condemniDg many
of the doubtful and’even injurious prep
arations for the hair and scalp which are
produced and put on the market by dif
ferent manufacturers,it is indeed a great
relief to be able to make a report npon
so worthy a preparation , as “Anti-kink ”
It is a preparation that will straighten
and take the kink 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 commend it as we have in the
past condemned many so-called hair
growers aiid restorers, and other prepa
rations for'the hair and scalp.
For some days “Anti-kink” has been
the subject of a painstaking investiga
tion on the pari; of the compilers of these
Reports, ffiid 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 our highest
praise, and affords the most gratifying
results and absolute safety in its use*
There is no head of hair that is so
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 and vigorously applied, as
directed, it will impart such a lustre aud
brilliancy to' the hair as will make the
nse 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 our read
ers all over this broad laud, whose inqui
ries reach us 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 our 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

Mr. J. E. Haslarn, Marshallville, Ga.:
Dear Sir—In reply to yonrs of 17th,you
evidently misunderstood our former let-
trr. What we want to know is that when
you made S. S. S. for this company some
years ago did you use the same quantity
of each root. We cannot see how this in
formation could affect your business, and
if you can give it we would appreciate
the favor. Very truly,
