WORK IS GOING 4 HEAD. BOARD OF PARDONS. Governor Atkinson, it is said, in his forthcoming message to the legislature soon to* convene, will recommend the creation of a board of pardons. It is not known whether the Governor desires this board to have full power or be merely advisory to him. For some time it has been a question a9 to whether or not a pardoning board should be created. The power now invested in the chief executive seems to be too great for one man, and, besides, it is very trying as is shown by the numerous strains the Governor has gone through with the present year in the examination of appli cations for pardons. It is believed that a pardoning board whose duties would be to ex amine the applications for par dons and pass upon same, or confer with the Governor about it, would be much more satisfac tory than the present method of disposing of them. It is also be lieved that it would be to the best interest of the state to have a pardoning board instead of one man, whose power is greater than the courts, to pass on these appli cations. Pardoning boards have been created in many states. Some have the power of passing upon the applications for pardon with-, out conferring with the Governor, while others examine the applica tions and report to the chief ex- ecutige the result of their investi gations with such recommendation as they deem best. The boards have operated very satisfactorily in other states and we believe it would be a satisfactory solution of the question in Georgia. .THE GEORGIA CRACKER, or liquid, the doctor's prescription for bldod diseases is always the same- mercury or potash. These drugs bottle up the poison and dry it up in the system, but they also dry up the marrow in fhe bohes at the same time. The suppleness -and elasticity of the joints give way to a stiffness, the rack ing pains of rheumatism. The form gradually bends, the bones ache, while aecrepitnde and helplessness prema turely take possession of the body, and it is but a short step to a pair of The Georgia Manufacturing Company is-moving along nicely now since the mill opened up last week.

His bond was fixed at $300 and, not being able to gi ve it, was sent to jail. The warrant for his arrest was sworn out by Will Edwards, who declares he was held up and robbed by Prater at the fair grounds Saturday evening. At the hearing Tuesday Prater re taliated by swearing out a warrant for gambling against Edwards, and the latter was arrested and put under a bond of $50, which he readily gave.

Mr. Little expects to have the new warehouse completed in a very few days. A GOOD WORK. It is very probable that Hall and Forsyth counties, will soon build a bridge at Keith’s ferry, and will buy Brown’s bridge. At the July term of Hall Superior court the grand jury recommended that this be done, and at the August term of Forsyth Superior court that grand jury made a similar recommendation. The county commissioners of Hall have had several conferences with the ordinary of Forsyth county, and as the people of both counties want the bridges, it is probable that the authorities will have the work begin at an early date. A bridge at Keith’s ferry bas long been needed. The ferry there Macon’s great carnival takes place Monday and Tuesday. Thousands will attend, and will see a good show. If so, we can fix yon up.

Sept. 30, 1897. An exchange suggests that it would be a good idea to put all tl e convicts on an island and then un dermine it and let it sink, convicts and all. It wonld also be a good idea to put some of the wild ad vocates of the penal colony scheme on the island and let the whole business go down together. It is with pleasure that The Cracker directs the attention of its readers to the magnificent advertisement of the Hy nds Company. Their great cut price sale has begun and they offer to the people of this section a season of unpre cedented bargains.

When the county and road commissioners of several counties recently 1 met in Gainesville, much enthusiasm in the good roads movement was manifested, and the read commissioners pledged themselve to keep thb roads in their respective localities in better condition than^ver before. They have fulfilled that promise by doing some good work already, but the thing for them to do is to keep consantly at it, going on tbe idea that public . roads cannot be kept in too good a condition. If they will work in that way the highways in this section will al ways be kept in good fix. ‘ ‘ of Hall There is a strong probability Ibat judge Yan Wick, Tammany’s candidate for Mayor of Greater New York, will be .elected.
