Judge J. E. Alsobrook, who lives
at. Morgan tun, and who is well
known to all the citizens of the
county, wrote the editorial w r hich
we here reproduce, and gave it to
the Morgan ton News in which
paper it appeared in print. It
can be found in the issue of July
8, 1897, if there- should be any
who have the back numbers of
that paper and care to look it up.
The Judge was not the editor of
that paper at the time but had

one so capable on this line whose
life w r ould have been a beautiful
success if left to this brilliant
game amidst the wilds of his
native hills. What a pity we say
that the fond hopes of his doting
f riends should have been so com
pletely blasted by sending him to
congress. Not once, but-thrice. It
is a man’s friends who ruin him—
a man’s enemies cannot hurt him.

During his last illness, when his phy
sicians enjoined rest in bed and a scru
pulously caielui diet, we read that he
was game enough to dress and go out
on the hotel porch to sit, winding up
his imprudence (and incidentally his
life) with a hearty meal, in defiance of
the medical directions. This last piece
of bravado was apparently considered
by certain newspaper reporters as an
achievement fit to rank with a victory
on a battlefield, and the glutton was ad
miringly mentioned as though he were
a brilliant and fearless hero, risking
his life in a worthy cause.
The newspapers were not creating a
sentiment, but merely catering to one
already formed in thus aiding gluttony.
The only conclusion we can draw is
that the epicurean philosophy still has

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to curepn all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying- the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
Foul-Smelling
Catarrh.
Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift’s Spe
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg.
Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes:
•*I could see no improvement whatever
though I was constantly treated with spray!
and washes, and differ
ent inhaling remedies—
in fact, I could feel thai
each winter I was worst
than the year previous
“F inally it wal
brought to my notici
that Catarrh was a blooc
disease, and after think
ing over the matter, i
saw it was unreasonabll
=§jia to expect to be cured bj
remedies wbi c b o n 1 j
reached the surface, i
^ _ then decided to trj
S. S. S", and after a few bottles were used, I no
ticed a perceptible improvement. Continuin|
the remedy, the disease was forced out of mj
system, and a complete cure was the result
I advise all who have this dreadful disease t(
abandon their local treatment, which has neve
done them any good. and take S. S. S., a rem
edv that can reach the disease and cure it.”
To continue the wrong treatment foi
Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift’s
Specific is a real blood remedy, and
cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases
which other remedies have no effecl
whatever upon. It promptly reaches
Catarrh, and never fails to cure even th«
dfcost aggravated cases.

NEED NOT TAKE HOMESTEAD
ON IT.
Some men seem to think that
when the people put them into an
office and keep them there a num
ber of years it becomes theirs and
that they have some sort of pre
emption right to it and want to
take a homestead on it, and seem
to think that the office belongs to
them.
It appears that we have one of
this kind sitting in Congress now
pretending to represent this dis
trict. How wise it would be if
after a man has been kept by the
people in an important office for a
series of years to see him grace
fully" bow himself out of the way
and tell the people that he had
occupied the position long enough
and that another could be selected.
In a general order issued by the
war deptrtment the following as
signment of general officers to
command is made:
Major General Wesley Merritt,
United States army, department
of the Pacific.
Major General John R. Brooke,
United States army, the first corps,
and the department of the gulf.
Major General William M. Gra
ham, United States volunteers,
the second corps, with head
quarters at Falls Church, Virgin
ia.
Major General James F. Wade,

corps, reporting to Major General
Brooke Chickamaugua.
Major General John J.Choppin-
ger, United States volunteers, the
fourth corps, Mobile.
Major General William R. Shaf-

fifth corps, Tampa.

Ireland Has Lost a Friend.
In the general sorrow over the
death of the late William E. Glad
stone none can or should be more
sincere than that of Irishmen the
world over, for Ireland owes a
great debt to the Great Commoner
and great Home Ruler. Ireland
does not yet enjoy Home Rule.
But it will. The cause cannot
die. And its final triumph will be
due in largest measure to tnose
immortal statesmen and ever loyal
friends of a down-trodden people,
Charles Stewart Parnell and Wil
liam E. Gladstone.
The greatest triumph of modern
chemistry is Dr. Tiehenor’s Antiseptic.
As a dressing for wounds, burns, etc.,
it simply lias no equal. Prevents in
flammation, preserves the flesh and
heals like magic. Fragrant as the kl last
rose of summer*’ and cooling as a breeze
from off the deep bine sea.
Southerners mThe Navy.
Nearly all the officers of the
United States navy above the rank j
of lieutenant are from the nor-j
them states. The reason for this j
is apparent. No officer who en-!
tered the navy since the close of!
the war has yet reached the rank
of commander. The navy was a
favorite avocation for southerners
and at the breaking out of the war
that section had its full quota,
and perhaps more, on the official
list. But with few exceptions
they resigned as their states se
ceded, and during the war none
came to the academy from the
south. The southerners in the
service now are those who entered
after the reconstruction. These
are all in the ranks below com
mander at this time, and they are
THEY KNOW HIM.
Hon. Allen D. Candler taught
school in Clayton county, and the
people know that he is not a black
guard and abandoned ‘cussin
man. as some politicians and
newspapers would make believe.
The Jonesboro Enterprise says:
It may be safely predicted that
the people of Clayton county will
give Hon. Allen D. Candler a
splendid vote on June 6th. They
know him and they deem.it a rare
privilege to vote for such a man.
That he will be elected is confi
dently expected and that he will
make Georgia one of the best gov
ernors in its history is universally
agreed. It is not probable that
any other candidate for governor
will place his ticket in Clayton,
but if there should be an opposition
licket, it is as certain as anything
can be that Candler will carry the
county by an overwhelming and
almost unanimous vote.
