St. Louis Republic.
That .Democracy demands peaoe
first and above all things is gen
erally deduoible from the utter
ances of men prominent in party
affairs; and it cannot be doubted
that the motives for propitiation
and concession are strongly at
work in the rank and file.
That the spirit of harmony is
powerfully operative is.observable
in the fear it engenders in the Re-
ublioah politicians and press,
rom these souroes come every
species of rumor and counter-cur
rent designed to impair confidence
in Democracy’s ultimate ability
to preseut a united attack.
But the burden of proof is
upon the Republicans themselves
to show that they oan mend their
own factional differences. These
are becoming more and more dis-
tinot as time wears on. Combi
nations are rapidly crystalizing
against the candidacy of Mr.
Roosevelt, and there are several
strong forces in the field coming
to light in favor of individuals
hitherto tmsuspeoted of presiden
tial aspirations.
The country will await with in
terest the development of Fair-
bank’s boom in the South, and
his relations to the Hanna wing
of the party. Spooner is also re
ceiving strong mention for the
nomination. For sheer force of
intellect he is perhaps the weight
iest man in his party, and in the
producing West he would oom-
mand far greater strength than
Mr. Roosevelt. There is no man
oloser to the old wing of the party
than he, and no man higher in
party counoils.
On the whole the situation holds
forth every encouragement to De
mocracy. Its opportunity was nev
er better for a solid fight. Its
position of attack is, under exist
ing conditions, the position of
vantage. With a united front it
may reasonably look for viotory.
All agree, on the other hand,
that division spells defeat. The
bitterest factionisb admits that
there is no hope without union of
effort and solidarity of purpose.
Since all men acknowledge their
common point of weakness it
should not require an immeiise
amount of wisdom to perceive
their common source of strength.
Democrats of all sections are
gratified to perceive the growing
disposition toward conciliation
and union.

A Great Sensation.
There was a big sensation in
Leesville, Ind., when W. H. Brown
of that place, who was. expected to
die,had his life saved by Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption.
He writes: “I endured insufferable
agonies from Asthma, but your
New Discovery gave me immediate
relief and soon thereafter effected
a complete cure.” Similar cures
of consumption, pneumonia, bron
chitis and grip are numerous. It’s
the poerless remedy for all throat
and lung troubles. Price 50c and
$1. Guaranteed. Trial bottles free
at Holtzclaw’s Drugstore.
Visitors to Niagara Falls on
Sunday March 22, saw an extra
ordinary sight. The American
falls were practically dry, and
men in high boots could have
crossed at the brink. Many per
sons invaded the bed of the river
in search of relics. The cause of
the phenomenon was a bugh ice
bank which jammed and dammed
the river. Not in fifty-five years
has a similar incident occurred.

A Demonstration of W hat Chamber
Iain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy Can Do.
“One of our customers, a high
ly respected citizen pf thiB place,
had been for ten years a sufferer
from chronic diarrhoea,” write
Walden & Martin, druggists, of
Enterprise, Ala. “He had used
various patent preparations and
been treated by physicians, with
out any permanent benefit. A few
months ago he commenced taking
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and in a ’short
time was entirely cured. Many
citizens of Enterprise who know
the gentleman will testify to the
truthfulness of this statement. ’ ’

A Missouri minister having
threatened to tell the truth at fu
nerals, the Cincinnati Enquirer
protests: “What would be the
use? It would make no impres
sion on the subject of the obse
quies. It would be too late to re
form him. It would affront the
friends of the deceased, and poss
ibly lead them to do things that
would invite more disastrous
truth.”

A Just Complaint
Last week it fell to our lot to
renew our insurauoe upon the
Graphio offloe, A few years ago
we paid $16 per $1,000 iusuranoe.
Last year the rate went up to $19
per $1000 of insurance, and now
we are taxed $28.50 per $1000 of
insurance. When we stop to ask
the reason of this we find that
there is no reason Bave that the
Southeastern' Tariff Association,
whioh controls all of the insu
rance companies, has reasoned,it
out that the people are making
too muoh money and that they
simply decided to put their hands
down deeper into the pockets of
the people and relieve them of
most of it. That is the whole
thing in a nutshell. They have'
got the power, and they are using
it. We prate and theorize about
trusts in the abstract/and right
here in Georgia this association
fixes every rate charged, and fixes
it so high as to make fire* insu
rance almost prohibitive.—La
Grange Graphio.
Bobbed the Grave,
A startling incident is narrated
by John Oliver of Philadelphia as
follows,: “I was in,an awful con
dition. My skin was almost yel
low, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides,
no appetite, growing weaker day
by day. Three physicians had giv
en me up. Then I was advised to
use Electric Bitters; to my great
joy, the first bottle made a deci
ded improvement. I continued
their use for three waeks, and am
now a woll man. I know they
robbed the grave of another vic
tim.” No one should fail to try
them. Guaranteed. Only 50c at
Holtzclaw’s Drugstore.

It is safe to say that the Hous
ton county farmer who shipped a
car load of home-raised meat to
Macon is not loaded down with
mortgages and store accounts,
’faith plenty of meat and corn
the farmer is the most indepen
dent man on the globe, and with
out them he is at the mercy of the
merchant and money lender. So
says the Dawson News, and it’s
the plain unvarnished truth.—
