Mr. John
Dannenberg
Formerly with The
Co., lias accepted a position with
us, and will be glad to show his
friends the new stock of
goods
whose
strength and truth is acknowledged
in the nervousness with which his
utterances are regarded by those
who fear his influence.
He may be wrong in demanding
now that the last democratic plat
form must be the platform of the
next democratic convention, bat
those who criticise him most severe
ly have no more right than he to
dictate party policy. Whatever
Mr. Bryan says now of what should
be hereafter, is but his own opinion
and contention therewith is only a
contrary opinion, each having equal
right of expression.
The concensus of democratic opin
ion makes democratic policy, and
no man is barred from participation
in the process. Mr. Bryan has ideas
which he believes to be correct and
does not hesitate to give them posi
tive expression. He has the courage
to come out in the open and assume
the position he declares is right.
His enemies and critics are quick to
object and protest, but fail to offer
anything better in tangible form.
If it is so evident that Mr. Bryan
is wrong why in the name of true
manhood and justice do not his
enemies make a specific statement
of what is right?.
If the Kansas City platform is not
true democracy, let its traducers
point out the unsound planks and
bring forward genuine timber to re
place them. Come out in the open
and offer something better.
Carping at Bryan only emphasises
iis greatness and makes prominent
the political fear with which his
enemies in the .democratic party re
gard him.

lowing from the Americus Herald
gives a modern instance: “It is
fact, while hundreds of crates of
peaches are being shipped daily
from Georgia, it is a difficult matter
for one of our citizens who owns no
orchard to get a few peaches to eat
And some of us are peach hungry,
too.”
—Mr. Josiah Bass, one of Hous

as follows: “After trying various

The officials -of the branch mint at
San Francisco are very much troub

A commodious auditorium will be
built in Macon by the city council.
This is right, as there is great need
for such a building. Macon is the
logical convention city of Georgia,
but the lack of a hall sufficiently
large has prevented many conven
tions from being held in the Central
City.
The international convention of
the Baptist Young People’s Union
will held at Chicago July 25th to
28th. It will be the largest Baptist
meeting ever held in the world, as
over 15,000 delegates are expected
to attend. A Georgia party of 35
will leave Atlanta at 5 p. m. July 23.

Two cotton mills at Macon, Ga.,
have received an order each from
the U. S. post-office department for
80,000 pounds of twine, the aggre
gate price to be paid for the 160,000
pounds of cotton twine being about
$30,000. This twine is to be used
in postoffices, and heretofore has
been procured of New York and
Philadelphia mills, and the material
used was jute. It having been as
certained that cotton gives equal
strength and more measurement, the
cotton has been substituted, and for
the first time an order has been
placed with southern mills.
It has long been a matter of re
gret to the government of the Uniced
States fhat the relations between
this country and the republics south
of us were not as cordial as they
might be. Being on the same con
tinent, with governments purport
ing tc be of similar character, the
United States, Central and South
America and Mexico ought to be
close together in matters pertaining
to commerce and governmental re
ciprocity.
As a means to that end there will
soon be held a congress of repre
sentatives, of which our Washington
correspondent says:
“Even if the Pan-Ame.iican con
gress is partly a failure, owing to
the dispute over arbitration, it is
thought probable that the meeting
will result in the formation of a per
manent court, something like that
of The Hague, for the settlement of
such international disputes as may
be submitted to it with the consent
of both parties. Each nation, it is
proposed, shall be given the right to
nominate a certain number of dele
gates, who should be jurists of high
standing. From a list of all the
delegates the two nations having
claims which they desire disposed of
will select a court of three or five
members. This court will receive
the arguments of the two countries
and giva each an opportunity to an
swer the contention of the other.
Its decision will be binding. In or
der to remove any objection that
might exist to the organization of
such a court, it will be expressly an
nounced at the time the plan is pro
posed that its acceptance will not
compel nations to refer all claims to
arbitration. Officials here believe
the organization of such a court
would be of great Pan-American
advantage. The United States do
not cafe to force countries to pay
claims, as such action would be apt
to cause enmity and in the end be
embarassing to the North American
All doctors have tried to cure CatarrSi
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhal
ers and drugs in paste form. Their pow
ders dry up the mucous membranes,
causing them to crack open and bleed
The powerful ac.ds used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the tame mem
braces that their makers have aimed to
cure, while the pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expe
rienced practitioner who lias for many
years made a close study and specialty
of the treatment of Catarrh, has at last
perfected a treatment which, when faith

permanently cures Catarrh, by remov
