Dyspepsia is unrecognized in
half the cases. It deceives the
unknowing sufferer. Its many
variations work along the weakest
lines of the system. To battle
against only one of them is vain.
Our booklet explains its symp

complete and lasting relief.

Houston Convict Hire.
The case carried to the Supreme
court from Houston county,in which
the court officers contended for the
money arising from the hire of con
victs, to be applied to their insolvent
costs, since the abolishment of the
ch ^gang, was dismissed last week.
The case was based on a mandam-
us against Judge Riley, of our coun
ty court, to pay over the money in
his hands received for the hire of
Houston county convicts. The Su
preme court held that the writ
should have been against the county
commissioners, and because of that
alledged error the case was dismiss
ed and the point at issue was not
considered at all on its merits.
The point raised by the Supreme
court was not made in the pleadings
before the court, nor was it contem
plated by anybody connected with
the case.
Judge Felton had decided in cham
bers that the Solicitors were entitled
to their full costs out|of the convict
hire, and this decision was reversed
by the Supreme court.
Houston county will not suffer in
convenience because of the delay
caused by the failure of the Supreme
court to decide the point at issue.
The money in question, about $700,
is nont really in the hands of Judge
Riley, but is in the county treasury
under an agreement that it is sub
ject to the court deision in this case,
or another of like character.
He WilFbe Hung.
Last Thursday the Supreme court
of Georgia rendered tardy decision
in the Romulus Williams murder
case, sustaining the verdict and
judgment of the Houston Superior
court, and refusing a new trial.
Williams shot and killed Adam
Hunnicut one night last winter, in
the public road near the farm home
of Mrs M. F. Tharpe, while return
ing from a negro frolic. At the last
April term of Houston Superior
court he was convicted of murder,
and sentenced to be hung on May
31st. On motion for a new trial,
the case was carried to the Supreme
court. Gevernor Candler granted
a respite for 30 days. Later, the
case having been argued, but not
decided, Judge Felton granted a
supercedias, pending the Supreme
court decision.
The original sentence having been
diplaced, thn condemned man must
be again sentenced in open court,
and Judge Felton may come to
Perry for that purpose this week.
The execution cannot be nearer
than 20 days to the day of sentence,
and will doubtless be in August
next, on the gallows within the en
closure adjoining the rear end of
the county jail.
It has just been discovered that
Admiral Schley has been treated
outrageously in a history of the late
war with. Spain, which was intended
as a text book at the Anapolis Naval
Academy. The book was written by
E. S. Maclay, a clerk in the navy de
partment. With reference to the
Cuban campaign, and the battle of
Santiago harbor, Schley is called a
coward, and other harsh epithets are
applied. It is said Sampson and
others high in naval authority are in
a measure responsible for this insult
to one of the best officers of the na
vy. The objectionable words have
been ordered expunged.
Good must come to Georgia polit
ically in the multiplicity of prospect
ive candidates for governor of the
state. The men already mentioned
are worthy and well qualified, and it
goes without saying that no one less
qualified need apply. It may be true
that justice demands the selection of
a south Georgia man, but section
should not be the first considera
tion. The best man should be
chosen.
The Valdosta Times has our sym
pathy and admiration. Though the
outfit was‘destroyed by fire last
Thursday night, much other prop
erty in the city being burned, a
small issue of the paper was printed
Saturday from a remnant of type on
a job press. Even from ashes such
pluck and energy will rise triumph
ant.

—It seems to be a settledjdetcr-
mination of those that control
the railroad now being completed
into Hawkinsville that the road
in question be extended to Grova
nia in Houston and thence to Fort
Valley. Whether the road touches
Perry, or passes several miles
south-west of us,is a question that
should be earnestly considered by
onr business men.
—A basket-full of the nicest
Elberta peaches we have seen
this season were presented to the
editor last Monday by Mr. Cole-
son Tharp. One of them weighed
more than a half pound, and the
largest of themjaveraged in weight
^ pound each. They were grown
in the tenth district, on the farm
of Mr. James D. Tharp, who has
sold several hundred crates at
good prices.

THE NEW YORK WORLD,
Thrice-a-Week Edition.
The Most Widely Read Newspaper
in America.
Time has demonstrated that the Thrice-
a-Week World stands alone in its class.
Other papers have imitated its form but
not its success. This is because it tells
all the news all the time and tells it im
partially, whether that news be political
or otherwise. It is in fact almost a daily
at the price of a weekly and you cannot
afford to be without it.
Republican and democrat alike can
read the Thrice-a-Week World with ab
solute confidence in its truth.
In addition to news, it publishes first-
class seriel stories and other features
suited to the home and fireside.
The Thrice-a-Week World’s regular
subscription price is only $1.00 per year
and this pays for 156 papers. We offer
this unequalled newspaper and The
Home Journal together one year for
$2.00, strictly cash in advance.
The regular subscription price of the
two papers is $2.50.
