Senator Wellington of Maryland
denies that anything he said even
implied indifference to the shooting
of McKinley.
Last week 420 new pupils for the
Bibb county publis schools were reg
istered, making the estimated at

Extensive preparations are being
made for the Georgia vetrans’ re

at Macon from October 21st to 27th.
President Roosevelt will do well
to remember constantly that the po
litical possibilities of 1904 are not
within the catalogue of his official
duties.
May our new president earn by
merit the plaudits so lavishly ac
corded his immediate predecessor,
but God forbid their coming in like
manner.
Constitutional conventions are

just concluded in Alabama will cost

The moral support of all thinking

Jones county farmers will have a

Water bound, with no water; that’s

The rain Tuesday night of last
week washed out about about 150
feet of the mill dam—the largest
break within the memory of the old
est inhabitant. It will take several
days to repair the break, and until
this is done there can be crossing
here only in batteaus. The damage
direct and consequential will be any
where from $1000 to $1500, besides
the great, inconvenience to the cus
tomers of the gin and mill. Sad to
say, but this will be a poor fishing
point for the next two or three years.
Cotton was blown out considera

The majority of mankind never
pray until the devil comes. Since
the assassination of the president
we are taking on much about an
archist and nihilist. Though not too
late now, it is a matter that should
have been attended to long since.
We have been the dumping ground
for ( the scum and worst element of
other nations long enough, and the
time has come when we must shut
our gates, or put a strong guard at
them, and allow only folks to. enter.
At this juncture, tha following ex
pression of opinion and fact from
our Washington correspondent will
be decidedly interesting to our read
ers:
“Much has been published of late
anent the policy to be followed by
the new president—much that does
not altogether agree- with what is
said in private by men familiar with
his ideas on national and interna
tional subjects. His spontaneous
declaration that President McKin
ley’s policy would be followed and
his earnest request to the cabinet to
retain their portfolios, exactly as if
they had been selected by him in
the. first place, are, of course, strong
arguments that his administration
will, in its main points, closely re
semble that of Mr. McKinley. But,
it is said by his friends, both of
these things were done under stress
of strong feeling that cannot contin
ue indefinitely. Mr. Roosevelt is a
most earnest man, and his line of
thought, whatever it may be, always
seems to him, for the moment, as the
only possible one. His zeal for it is
only equaled by the extraordinary
vigor with which he may suddenly
take^ up a diametrically opposite
course of action. No doubt, at pres
ent, he is determined to carry out
President McKinley’s ideas, but as
time goes on, the difference of tem
perament between the two men will,
it is believed, bring about radical
differences. At least, so say those
who know him best.
“It may be accepted as settled
that he will remain true to reciproc
ity, though it is improbable that he
will be more successful than McKin
ley in bringing this about. In fact,
his methods in urging it are likely
to be such as to provoke opposition,
thus weakening the faint impulses
in the republican party in favor of
the system. This, it is said, is well
for the democrats, as every reciproc
ity treaty that is ratified lessens by
so much the demand for tariff re
form. His attitude towards trusts
has not been declared, but, judging
from the fact that he seems already
to have made an—agreement with
Senator Hanna for his support, it is
improbable that he will take any
radical action to muzzle these.
“Mr. Roosevelt, it seems, is a south
erner on his mother’s side. That lady
was Miss Martha Bullock, daughter
of Major James Bullock of Georgia,
and great-grand-daughter of Archi
bald Bullock, first governor of Geor
gia and member of the continental
congress. The president has many
southern relatives, including several
first cousins, who are citizens of
Georgia and contiguous states. Thus
he may be expected to take a very
conservative view of the negro ques
tion and to discountenance any at
tempt to revive the Crumpacker bill
for the reduction of representation
of southern states that restrict negro
suffrage by various devices. How
ever, the difficulty of doing this
without similarly reducing Various
good republican states has practical
ly already relegated the proposal to
the limbo of discredited bills.”

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.
The powerful ac ds used in the inhalers
have entirely eateD away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while the pastes and ointment's 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 onlv 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. This
wonderful remedy is known as “Snaf
fles the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure”
and is sold at the extremely low price of
One Dollar, each package containing in
ternal and external medicine sufficient
for a full month’s treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
“Snuffles’ 7 is the only perfect Ca
tarrh Cure ever made and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. It cures all inflammation quick
ly and permanently, and is also wonder
fully quick to relieve Hay Fever or
Cold in the Head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads to
CoNSUMPTioN-“Snuffles” will save you
if you use it at once. It is no ordinary
remedy, but a complete treatment which
is positively guaranteed to cure Catarrh
in any form or stage if used according
to the directions which accompany each
package. Don’t delay, but send for it at
once, and write full particulars as to
your condition, and you will receive spe
cial advice from the discoverer of this
wonderful remedy regarding your case
