Favors Of The Editors.
tEvery man, in every town, dur
jig the course of his lifetime, has
ask a favor of an editor—not
exception to this rule. A man
^ay escape a dootor, keep clear of
le courts, but onoe iu a lifetime
least every man has to go to
le newspaper to have a certain
tece put in—a death notice,
Carriage notice, etc., to have a
jirtain piece kept out, or to have
name printed in, or omittecl
>m some item. It is therefore
pour interest to treat the editor
rly. He desires to be lair; he
ild rather do the right thing
Jan wrong, but if you give him a
iok the dent of it may be found
the top of your own hat some
ly aud you will not know how it
>t there. Don’t think you are
lmnne; don’t think providence
is especially favored you. Your
[me will come, aud when it does
»me it will be a flue investment
you have a frieud iu the editor’s
ice.—Ex.

1 was in an awful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in hack and
sides, no appetite, growing weaker day

up. Then I was advised to use Electric
Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. I con
tinued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well man. I know they rob
bed the grave of another victim.,, No

was also elected treasurer for the asso
ciation. Hosoliton, a newly organized
Baptist chureh, was received into this

to meet and associate with a more kind
and hospitable people than at Bell
mont.
A special director’s meeting of the
North Georgia Electric Company was
held at the office of the company last
week at which the following stockhol
ders and directors were present: Gen
eral A. J. Warner, W. A. Carlile and W.
H. Slack of Gainesville; E. P. Kirby,
W. F. Huntley and E. S. Greenleaf of
Jacksonville, Ill; C. M. Merrick of New
Brighton, Penn; W. W. Murray of
Huntingdon, Tenn; F. M. Marriott
of Deleware, Ohio; R. S. McCabe of
Dayton, Ohio. J. F. Moore and J. H
Moore of Dahlonega.
The principal matters claiming the
atteution of the stockholders was the
erection of a hotel and sanitarium, the
disposition of the surplus power of the
company, and the extension of the
Gainesville & Dahlonega Electric rail
way to Dahlonega. After going over
all those matters, the directors decided
only positively about one thing, viz:
the erection of of a modern sanitarium,
well fitted up and equipped, on the
electric line somewhere between the
Longstreet home and the switch.
There are five sites suitable, but not
one has been positively decided on. It is
ery likely, however, that one will be
chosen at an early date and the erec
tion of a sanitarium begun, though no
plans have yet been drawn for the
building.
The directors have the other matters
spoken of above under consideration
bnt have decided positively about none
of them. At an early date, the Nbws
may be able to give something definite
concerning them,
The President Would Do.
While James Jeffrey Roche was
having a ohat with President
Roosevelt in the White House last

Why The Japs Are Strong,
The Japanese are allowed to be
among the very strongest people
on earth. They are strong men
tally and physically, aud yet prac
tically they eat no meat at all.
The diet which enables them to
develop such hardy frames and
suoh well-balanced' and keen
brains consists almost wholly of
rice, steamed or boiled, while the
better-to-do add to this Spartan
fare fish, eggs, vegetables and
fruit. For beverages they use weak
tea, without sugar or milk, aud
pure water, aloholio stimulants
being but rarely indulged iu.
Water is imbibed in what we
should consider prodigious quan-
tities-to an Englishman, indeed,
the drinking of so muob water
would be regarded as madness,
The average Japanese individual
swallows about a gallou daily in
divided doses.
The Japanese reoognize the bene-
fioial effect of flushing the system
through the medium of the kid
neys, and they also clean the ex
terior of their bodies to aa extent
undreamed of in Europe or Amer
ica.
Auother—and perhaps this is
the usage on whioh the Japanese
lay the greatest stress-—is that
deep, habitual, forcible inhalation
of fresh air is an essential tor the
acquisition of strength, and this
method is sedulously practised
until it becomes part of their ua
ture.
Resent Ashley's Proffered Insult
Editor Gainesville News: Will
allow me to express the very
pleasure it gives me to see that
men of our city and county are organ
izing to rebuke iu a proper spirit the
impudence of Mr. Ashley, an Ohio Re
publican, in presuming to think he
could represent us-Southernera, .ieor-
gians—in Congress. This presumption
is an insult to the intelligence and pa
triotism of every man in our district. It
is humiliating enough that he has found
among us those who go around repeat
ing plausible sophistries as to why he
should be sent to congress. The only
reason given would arouse ones indig
nation were they not so absurdly ri
diculous. First, they claim he is a
very pleasant gentleman. Doubtless,
but we have several other republicans,
who are pleasant gentlemen, but they
have never dreamed that we would re
ward their pleasantry bv sending them
to congress. Second reason, his na
tron saint has received him kindly,
shown him the earth and the glories
thereof, and ail these things will be
given us if we fall down and worship
him by sending Mr. Ashley to congress.
Little does Mr. Ashley know of the
proud uncompromising southern heart.
The south is as sensitive of her poverty
as she is of her hpnor. The south has
been robbed* plundered and humiliated
by the republican party but thank
Heaven it has never been able to bny
it and it never will. Let our people
hurl back with scorn and oontempt his
offered insult ia republican fieshpots.
Make his defeat so overwhelming, so
ignominious, as to convince his party
once for all that Georgia will be repre
sented by her own sons or not at all.
Next to her own hearth-stone the
southern woman loves her southland,
and the chivalry, honor and glory of
southern men are her proudest herit
age. Any evil that would threaten the
safety of one, or mar the brightnees of
the other arouses her deepest indigna
tion. Therefore, Mr. Editor, may a wo
man, an old time southern woman,
urge every father, brother and son in
our district, be he democrat, populist
or independant, to allow nothing to
prevent him casting his vote for demo
cracy and sharing in the honor of bury
ing Mr. Ashley so deep that there will
not remain even the memory of his re
publican stench.

Foot Almost Crushed By Car
Coupling.
While standing on the platform of a
train in Atlanta recently Mr, Wm. K.
Loyd came near losing his left foot, the
next car of the tram was baoked up
and his foot caught between them with
great pressure. But having on a pair
Au Eighth aveuue car was bowl-
ling along uptown when a gust of
wind unceremoniously lifted a
straw hat from the head of one of
the male passengers aud Bent it
whirling down a side street, says
the New York Press.
“Oh, look, auntie 1” exclaimed a
small boy on the seat behind, as
he nudged the woman next to him
and pointed at the hatle&s and
bald-pated passenger, “Thatman’e
lost his hat, Why don't he stop
the oar and go after it?”
“I. don’t know, dear,” replied
the woman, “unless it is that the
straw hat season is over, and the
gentleman dosen't miod losing it.
“Well, auntie, is your hat on
good and tight?”
“YeB, dear; why do you ask?''
“ ‘Cause if it blowed off it
might take your wig along with it,
and then you’d look just like the
man, wouldn’t you—”
But at this point the little boy’s
auntie whispered something iu his
ear that made him suddenly sit
up straight and stop talkiug.
