The Georgia legislature met in
annual session at noon Wednesday,
June 24th, and should continue 50
days, if correct /attention to public
affairs demands that tnueh time. In
fact the bills introduced and not
acted upon at the last session will
require a considerable portion of
teat time if considered carefully.
This is the first' session under the
new law changing the meeting time
from winter to summer, Later we
will give a synopsis of the important
bills dtyeady on the calendar, with
Elko Etchings.
l
others that will be introduced. We
shall consider all the legislators as
honeBt and conscientious, represen*
tatives of the people, unless, proven
to the contrary.
Recently Editor Bailey ot Pallas,
Texas, visited Hon. Grover Cleve
land at his home, and afterward
published an interview, quoting. Mr.
Cleveland at some^ length; The
main feature of,the interview is the
declaration that Cleveland does not
desire another nomination for the
presidency,,he declaring it “perfect
ly absurd that I have any desire to
re-enter public life. Nor have I re
motely entertained the thought since
I left Washington in 1896.” This
interview is declared By Mr. Cleve
land “grossly'inaccurate in some re
spects?” though he .does not affirm
nor deny the main assertion. He
says he didn’t know he was being
interviewed.,
At Jackson, Kentuoky, a mistrial
has been declared in the oase of
Cur t tis Jett, oharged with killing At
torney J. B. Marcum, in the oourt
house. The testimony was strong
against the aooused, convincing to
unbiased minds,' but there was one
man on the jury who would not
agree to conviction. The next trial
will be in a county remote from the
feud region.
Lightning struck a hut containing
3,000 pounds of dynamite at Sena-
oaville, Ind., Ia3t Saturday afternoon
and a terriffic explosion followed.
Besides the great damage to the
nearby mine and houses’ of the vil
lage, six men were killed and nine
others injured.
As the investigation of the postal
frauds at Washington continue, the
cumber of guilty officials uncovered
multiply. Already one superintend
ent of division has been arrested,
another dismissed from the service,
and the end is not in sight.
The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
fhere is
a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tlve. Many sudden
deaths are caused by
it—heart disease,
1 pneumonia, heart

of kidney disease. If

Vital organs 6r the
kidneys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If .you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists In flfty-cent and one-dollar
Sized bottles. You may

Fbom pamphlets recently received
from speculation brokers, it seems
that “fishing for suckers” is increas

that the professionals may win,some

the professionals is expected to ben

As a promoter of “a Greater Geor
gia,” the state fair next October will
be a potent factor. It is'said there
will be twelve counties contesting
for the first premium—$1,600—for
the best county exhibit. Just here
it is well to suggest that the fair
authorities should clearly define the
limits of a county exhibit.

PRACTICAL BUSINESS COLLEGES.
' Schools of National Reputation.
Draughon’s Praotioal Business Col
leges, looated at Atlanta, Nashville, St.
Louis. Montgomery j Little Rock, Fort
Worth, Galveston and Shreveport, are
sohoolB of national reputation. They
are strongly endorsed by business men
from Maine to Oalisornia. Prof. Dragh-
ou, who is author of four text-books on
Bookkeeping, and proprietor of these in- .
stitutions, doubtless expends more mon
ey for securing positions for his students
than almost any one business College in
tl^is country takes iu as tuition. He
guarantees positions under reasonable
conditions, and will allow a student to
deposit money in bank till the oonrseis
completed and position seoured. Four
weeks oourse of Bookkeeping in his col
leges is equal to twelve weeks in any ool-
lege that does not employ his improved
methods of teaching. Bis Colleges also
offer speoiul advantages iu Penmanship,
Shorthand, Typewriting, etc. It is gen
erally oonoeded by those who are in po
sition to know that Prof. Draughon’s
success in the Business College work has
been greater than that of any one else.
His superior oourse of instruction and
his special facilities for securing posi
tions are almost an offset to competition
where the merits of his work nre known.
His illustrated oatnlogue will explain
all. Send for it. Address J. F.Draughon,
President, at either of the above men
tioned places.
