An old citizen of Franklin county has discovered evidences of oil in that county, and a company to de velop the property will be organized. The legislature of Porto Rico has adopted a resolution asking for free trade with the United States, and justice demands that the request be granted. If the declared political purpose of Hon. W. J. Bryan is wrong; if the platform he advocates is incorrect, his traduces should be able to set him right and present a correct plat form. Postmaster General Smith ha3 is sued an order debarring from sec ond-class mail privileges those pub lications that depend largely for cir culation upon gift enterprises and guessing contests. ^ — On last Thursday, July 4th, the celebration caused the death of elev en people in ths United States, and 1,G11 were injured. On Juty 4th, •1900, the casualties were 30 killed and 1,325 injured. It is said Hon. J. Pope Brown will not be a candidate for re-elec tion to the presidency of the Geor gia State Agricultural-Society, The next meeting of the society will be at Thomasville, in August. It is estimated that the wheat crop of 1901 will be the greatest ev er harvested, the aggregate having been placed aft about 700,000,000 bushels. The average of the last several years has been 500,000,000 bushels. General Maximo Gomez has left New York on his retm trip to Cuba. He was the guest of honor at the J.

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. may appear 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 ton’s prominent citizens, writes as follows: “After trying various remedies, without obtaining any benefit, I was cured sound and wel by Mucalee Chill Stop.

The officials -of the branch mint at San Francisco are very much troub led over the mysterious disappear ance of six bags of gold, each con taining $5,000 in $20 coins. Of course it was stolen, but how or by whom has not been discovered. 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. One fare for the round trip. 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 fully u ed, not only relieves once, but permanently cures Catarrh, by remov ing the cause, stopping the discharges and curing all inflammation: It is the only remedy known to science that ac tually reaches the afflicted parts.
