He Makes Formal Announcement' of His Candidacy. To the Democrats of the 3rd Congres sional District:— I am a candidate for Congress from this district, subject to the democratic primary, to be. held on the 15th of May. If nominated and elected I shall devote my entire time and energies to the duties of this high office, and especially to the in terests of the people of this district. The best hope of good govern ment.is in the triumph of democrat ic principles. If you see fit to honor me with this high office, I will nse my best efforts to secure the passage of those laws which will carry out those principles and promote the public good. Most respectful!!, Allen Fobt. Dewey’s Candidacy. CONG. LEWIS ANNOUNCES. Our Washington correspondent writes of Admiral Dewey’s presiden tial aspirations as follows: “Admiral Dewey’s announcement that he wonld.be a candidate for the presidency took away the breath He Issues an Address (o the People of the Third Congressional District Staling His Desires. To the Democrats of the Thirl Con gressional District of Georgia:— I announce myself a candidate for 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 governor, though J. H. Traylor of Troup and M. W.

I question. But though the Admiral have been at my post of duty all the cannot be named for president on while, and given my entire time to the democratic ticket, he can have the people of my district. I have 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.” Commissioners’ Court minutes* most careful consideration, looking after and taking care of their every wish.' I thank the people of my dis trict for their confidence and sup port in the past, and I ask for a con- tinuence of their support, promising my ceaseless vigilance and untiring energies to promote their best inter ests in the fnture. While I am not officially advised of any opposition to me, I feel it my duty to make •known my wishes to the people of my district. E. B. Lewis. 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 paign we do not propose to be a partisan, but just now we feel con strained to say that we are convinc ed that Mr. Lewis should be re elected.

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.

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.
