sas, chairman of the Democratic
National committee, was defeated
in the county primaries last Satur
day. Ex-Gov. James P. Olark is
the suooessful candidate, by 12 votes
ou joint ballot of the legislature, it
is estimated.
Thebe will be a conference of gov
ernors at Washington on April 7th.
'.The purpose is to memorialise con
gress to change the date of the in
auguration of the president. April
30th is the new date most likely to

.date.
—-The railroad construction
force has been at work at Perry a
portion of last week and this, put
ting the trestle over Fanny Gres
ham branch in firsb-olass condi
tion. In talking to citizens of
Perry, the chief of the force said
it was praotioally certain the Per
ry braneh road would be extended
to Hawkinsville, but no time was
designated more defiuinate than
“as soon as the construction work
now being done is completed,”
—April 1st was not as balmy as
could have been desired,but windy
weather on the first day t of April
does not, in any degree indicate
that the crops will not be abund

and harvested after there had
been heavy frosts in April.
State Primary June 5th.
By authority of the Georgia state
democratic executive committee, in
session at the state capital in Atlan
ta last Saturday, the primary to
| nominate Btate officers will be held
in the several counties of Georgia
on the 5th day of June next. The
state democratic convention will be
held in Atlanta on July 2nd.
From to-day, the time interven
ing before the primary is just two
months and two days, giving ample
opportunity for the candidates for
persuasion, and to the voters for
their decision. It may be the pri
mary will strike the farmers at an
especially busy season. Friends of
Mr. Guerry protested against fixing
the primary for May or June.
Hon. F. G. Dubignon resigned
the chairmanship of the committee,
and Editor E. T. Brown of Newnan
was elected to that position.'
There were no inharmonious con
tentions, and it is hoped the cam
paign will proceed as smoothly.
The arrangements and require
ments for the campaign are practi
cally as follows:
All white men of legal age who
agree to vote for the nominees in
the election will be allowed to vote
in the primary, provided they regis
tered in 1901, or will register this
year ten days prior to the date of
the primary.
The state officers to be voted for
in the primary are, governor, attor
ney-general, comptroller general,
treasurer, secretary of state, com
missioner of Agriculture, State
School Commissioner, two justices
of the supreme court, one prison
commissioner, and superior court
judges and solicitors in such circuits
where the terms expire. It is also
suggested that a vote be cast for
U. S. Senator.
The vote for all offices will be con
solidated by the county executive
committees and forwarded to the
chairman of tlie state ececutive com
mittee.
In accordance with the majority
vote, the county committees will ap
point delegates to the state conven
tion, double the number of represen
tatives each oounty is entitled to in
the House of Representatives of the
General Assembly. The regulations
for the primary, and the form of the
official ballot will be furnished the
county executive committees.
No efiort was made to influence
the time or method of holding the
primaries for county offices
The resolutions fixing the date
and arranging the method of pro-
ceedure for the primary were report
ed by a committee composed of
Messrs. Dickerson of Homerville,
Wright of Augusta, Foster of Oobb,
Holtzolaw of Houston -and Boynton
of Oalhoun.
The primary shall be managed
according to the provisions of the
general eleotlon law of the state.
Now let the ' campaign proceed,
briskly if the candidates so will,
but in gobd, humor and without fric
tion. j May the best men win.

Reports from Washington say
that Senator Hanna and President
Roosevelt disagree concerning the
sentence imposed by a Oubau oourt
upon E. G. Rathborne, ex-director
of posts in Cuba, for embezzlement
of postal funds. Senator Hanna re
quested, it is said, that the presi-
dedt either pardon Rathborne or
transfer the case ‘.to the United
States court for review. Roosevelt
refusedjta^intfcrfere.and it is said re
publican party politics may become
involved. Such a difference of re
publican opinion cannot be hurtful
to the people or to democracy.

At last the interstate commerce
commission has rendered a decision
favorable to local interests. The
mayor and council of Tifton pro
tested that the railroads touching
that city charged more freight on
shipments to that city than on simi
lar shipments to Albany and Valdos
ta, points farther from eastern and
western starting points respectively.
The decision of the commission wae
that such ratesjas complained against
illegal and unjust.
Cecil Rhodes, the man above all
others most responsible for the Brit
ish war against the Boers, died in
South Africa last week. - He was
many times a millionaire and upon
his deathbed expressed regret that

complished. By will hi| great
wealth will be devoted to an imperi
al plan of education throughout
Great Britain and its colonies.
Mrs. J. Powers Cooper Entertains.
One of the pleasantest occasions
The Thursday Afternoon club has to
recall is the one which was enjoyed
at the home of Mrs. J. Powers Coop
er on March the twentieth. Mrs.
Cooper was assisted in the enter
tainment of her guests by a number
of Spinsters, who, with their charm
ing personalities, we are always glad
to welcome to our meetings. *
Mrs. William J. Little of Macon,
and Mrs. John Yernon Wallace of
South Carolina were also most wel
come guests on this occasion.
In the “Initial Contest” a most
unique game, Mrs. Robert L. Cater
was the surprised recipient of the
prize—a beautiful little book. How
ever, several of us who knew of Mrs.
Cater’s original answers, were not
surprised when she received what
she bo well deserved.
In the absence of our President,
Mrs. Frank Cater, and Vice Presi
dent, Mrs. Lee M. Paul, Mj® Albert
S. Dix presided, most gracefully too.
The business part of our club meet
ings is a farce (?) which we all en
joy.
After the game and business, the
guests were invited into the dining
room, where a dainty and delicious
lunch was served. The table was a
lovely picture with cut glass bowls
of violets and a large silver candole-
bra, with seven tapers, which was
the centerpiece and lighted the table.
On Thursday afternoon, April the
third, at half-past three o’clock, Mrs.
Hugh Lawson entertains.
Secretary.

ger than any white lead or other
paint.

been nearly Fifty Million Pounds.

Good for Rheumatism.
Last fall I was taken with a very
severe attack of mscular rheumatism
which caused me great pain and an
noyance. After trying several pre
scriptions and rheumatic cures, I de
cided to use Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm, which I had seen advertised
in the South Jersey men. After two
applications of this Remedy I was
much better, and after using one
bottle, was completely cured.—Sal-
