Georgia farmers will regret their improvidence if they fail to make much hay this season. When a politician declares himself a local optionist, it does not indicate how- he would vote in a local option election. ' ✓ The citizens of Tampa, Fla., set tled a cigar-markers* strike by se cretly and forcibly deporting the strike leaders. The city authorities of Atlanta propose to manufacture brick with the Recorder’s court prisoners who fail to pay their fines. DuPont Guerry says a local op tion politician is against the sale of liquor in a dry county, and for the sale in a wet county. He is sustain ed by evidence. " The republican anti-trust law is a monumental farce, proven by the continual growth of trusts, and their continuous disregard of the law. This farce is augmented by the] late appointment of a trust attorney | Clark, in a most atrocious manner^ to the office of Attorney General aQ d. he was most positively identi fied by thejviciim of his brutish lust At Ways, eighteen miles south of Savannah, on the Seaboard Airline railroad, a negro named Joe Wash ington was burned to death last Saturday night by a crowd of 400 infuriated men.

Jenkins says “the victory is ours.” Atlanta politicians must not be permitted to tie a string to the suc cessful South Georgia candidate for governor. The people should wait a while before they “take sides.” An order for a large lot of pig iron for European points was receiv ed at Birmingham, Ala., last Friday. This is regarded as a revival of the export trade that has been dormant for six months. of the United States. /Evidently there is an endless chain of trusts— the republican party, the adminis tration, the trusts and the trustful people who are virtually forced to vote for republican candidates. Of an effort to force a republican official to perform his sworn duty, our Washington correspondent says: “The local assembly of the Knights of Labor proposes to see whether the Attorney General can be compelled to execute his sworn duty and pro ceed against the trusts generally, and the steel trust in particular, un der the provisions of the Sherman anti-trust law. Mr. Knox will be cited on quo warranto proceedings to show cause why he should hold office without bringing action to en force the laws. There is, of course, little hope of securing apy satisfac tory decision, or any decision at all, for months and months to come, as Mr. Knox is a past master in the art of postponement, but he will sooner or later be compelled to answer, and the moral effect this is expected to exert in favor of the .steel strikers will be tremendous. Of course when Mr. Knox, the attorney of the (Jar-' negie Company and the man who drew the articles under which the steel trust is incorporated, was se lected by the president to fill the re sponsible post of attorney general, it was well understood that he would not trouble the trusts, despite the fact that the efficacy of the Sher man law has been upheld by the Su preme* court in every instance where a contest has been made. Some time ago the department of justice gave out a statement that it was seeking for evidence against the trusts, but feared that it would be unable to secure any.” A report from Savannah says of the pnnishment: “The negro citizens o:' the section of Bryan county in which the tragedy took place were almost a unit in approving it, anc many of them were members of the mob that carried into execution the plan of vengeance.” David Nation, husband of Mrs. Carrie Nation, of saloon smashing fame, has entered suit for divorce at Medicine Lodge, Kansas. He alleges that his wife “held him up to public ridicule, neglected her family duties and abandoned his home?’ This case is unprecedented in its peculiarity, being an affair of Nations, as well as of a family. But this is not the first time a hatchet caused trouble in the family. Hon. H. G. Ttrner, of Quitman Brooks county, has written a care concerning his proposed candidacy for the governorship of Georgia. He does not say positively that he will be a candidate, but that he is think ing about it. The impression cre ated by the curd is that he will in due season announce himself a can didate for governor of Georgia, Judge Turner’s candidacy may prove a slate-breaker. X The Elks of Macon are making elaborate preparations for their “al Fresco” street fair to be given in October next. Contract has been made for 21 regular attractions, 8 of them free, and others will be add ed. Gen. Lord Kitchener has issued a proclamation that all Boers forci bly contending against British au thority and troops must surrender at once, or they will be permanently banished from the Transvaal. The date fixed in the proclamation is September 15th. *- * The sporting element of Savannah threaten to withdraw the'r promised assistance from the state fair, be cause of the decision that pool gam bling, games of chance, etc., will not be allowed. This should greatly rec ommend the fair to all those who desire to see a clean exposition of the state’s resources and progress. Hon. DuPont Guerry made the first speech of his campaign as a candidate for governor last Friday at Pelham, Mitchell county. He de clared himsejf in favor of state pro hibition of the sale of liquor, and against special favors to railroads I tember Cosmopolitan. A Special Magazine Edition. The sale of thousands of copies of copies of a ten-cent magazine at one dollar apiece was a very curious hap pening at the time of the Chicago World’s Fair. The Cosmopolitan prepared a World’s Fa-r number, contributed to by many famous wri ters, and so thoroughly illustrated that it surpassed even the most ex pensive book which had up to that time been issued. In those days the magazine was printed from two sets of plates only, and when these were worn out it was impossible, without a great loss of time, to put further editions on the press. The news dealers, taking advantage of this condition, raised the price of The Cosmopolitan’s World’s Fair number to one dollar a copy. A few sales were even made toward the close at the phenomenal figure of five dol lars. Undoubtedly this happening is unique in the history of magazine literature. The Cosmopolitan will endeavor to repeat its past success, with a Pan-American Exposition numbed, which will be even more at tractive, if possible, than its World’s Fair predecessor. The most famous writers of the century have been invited to take part in the preparation of this issue. After many days’ careful study of all the wonderful scenes of the Exposi tion, more than a hundred photo graphs have been prepared, which, taken as a whole, give a thorough conception of the marvels of this Exposition. It is doubtful if any book, selling at forty times the price of the mag azine, will give any description of the Fair which will approach in in terest and artistic value the Sep- Eruptions, cuts, burns, scalds and sores of all kinds quickly healed by DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve.

Joe H. Hall was also present and deliv ered a speech. If the practicing politicians had not attempted a lot of “slate-mak ing,” the governorship campaign in Georgia would not have been pre maturely pulled off. They undoubt edly have a few cards “up their sleeves,” but we dare say they can not keep them hidden throughout the campaign. However, we are of the opinion that the people will not be in a great hurry, to align them selves in favor of any candidate, but will wait for developments as the campaign progresses. South Geor gians will not gain much if North Georgia must name their candidate, for a political consideration. Those who visit the Fair will pre serve this number as a delightful reference-book in the years to come, and those who are unable to go there will secure sueh a comprehen sive view of its main attractions as will be well worthy of preservation. All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh 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.
