What does it do?
It causes the oil glands
in the skin to become more
active, making the hair soft
and glossy, precisely as
nature intended.
It cleanses the scalp from
dandruff and thus removes
one of the great causes of
baldness.
It makes a better circu
lation in the scalp and stops
the hair from coming out.
il Prevents ano n
cures Baldness
Ayer’s Hair Vigor will
surely make hair grow on
bald heads, provided only
there is any life remain
ing in the hair bulbs.
It restores color to gray
or white hair. It does not
do this in a moment, as
will a hair dye; but in a
short time the gray color
of age gradually disap
pears and the darker color
of youth takes its place.

STRAYED LITTLE ONE.
An Interesting Letter Front
A Gwinnett Girl.
This morning when I stepped
out, I saw a little violet that had
strayed away from its place of
cleanliness and purity. It was
covered with mud; it’s face, once
so fair, was on the verge of ruin.
I wondered as I gazed upon the
flower whether its comrades would
scorn upon its misfortune, were
they to see and know it again.
Determined to see, I picked it
up and thrust the little Slower on
the dainty bed, its original home.
There the blue-eyed violets still
uodded their little heads, and sent
up their sweet perfume and look
of innocence. Not a one murmur
ed, not a one stopped itspwu work
to scorn its misfortuned sister
But all, with their sweet smiles,
seemed to welcome the fallen flow
er.
Hearing some children laughing
I turned to see them. There were
three little boys coming down the
street. Two of them were laugh
ing at the one carrying a nicely
washed basket of linen for his
mother. This child was doing his
duty. Poverty had visited he and
his mother. But their misfortune
was laughed at 1
“Ob, ’’ thought I, “if they could
only learn the lesson of the vio
let!”
Recently I read an account of a
hoy who had had the misfortune
of being led astray by some Pad
companions. Returning home and
fully resolved to do better, he
found all his old friends scorning
him, pointing him out to strangers
as a bad, bad boy. Why couldn’t
they have lifted him from his base
ness, incircled him in arms of lov
'ing kindness and kept him from
his sinful path ?
Human nature is very often in
human. Every way I turn, every
way I look, everywhere I go, there
is something hurtful in persons,
there is something harmful, there
is something almost inhuman.
Thoughtlessness, carelessness, sin
fulness, cause all these things. Sa
tan is working with human souls
to destroy and to ruin.
One more incident: Once I
knew a little girl quite well. She
wanted to live right, she wanted
to do God’s will. Of course she
had her faults, her shortcomings,
but God dealt merciful with her.
She was very ambitious, and put
forth all her efforts in a very wise
way to obtain an ideal education.
Her parents were poor, her moth
er sickly, and her real friends few.
She had admirers, ’tie true. But
almost every one were envious.
The people would use their vile
longues upon her pure, inuoceut
character. They would say all
manner of evil things about her,
discuss the poverty of the family,
and what this girl spent for school
ing. But she went on her glorious
way, and at last her parents,broth
ers and sister were uplifted and
made happy by her efforts. Her
enemies bedame friends, some for
policy perhaps, but her unselfish
motive, her devotion to God, and
his mercies conquered all she un
dertook.
Dear people, boys aud girls, live
as the violets live. If you cannot
praise, do not blame; if you can
not speak well, do not speak evil.
Remember your unruly member,
aud help take the mud off your
friends. If you are better than
they, uplift them by your good
ness. You can only help yourself
when you help others. We have
only that which we have given
away. Really and truly be a good
Samaritan.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA,THURSDAY. JANUARY 25.1900.
THE PROHIBITIONISTS
Will Fight it Oat in the Demo
cratic Primaries.
The prohibitionists of Georgia
have just declared themselves as
to the part they will take in the
politics of the state during the
present year.
Their executive committee of
th> Prohibition Association of
Georgia met in Macon at the Mul
berry street church annex and
adopted a set of resolutions that
plainly show where they stand in
such matters.
"Be it resolved by the executive
committee of the Prohibition As
sociation of Georgia, That so far
as this committee is informed or
believes there is not now, nor has
been nor will be any movemeut of
the prohibition party or of the
prohibitionists of this state, to
nominate or elect through such
party or other separate action any
candidates for office at the ap
proaching election.
“2. Resolved, That while in our
confident opinion the intelligent
moral sentiment of the people of
the state is largely in favor of
state prohibition, such sentiment
cau never be crystalized into law
while the whiskey organizations
and rings are allowed in so many
instances to dictate Democratic
nominations and control Demo
cratic officials contrary to the
wishes of the parties nominating
and the constituencies electing
them.
“8. Resolved, That such senti
ment can be crystalized into law
only by the earnest and concerted
action of the prohibitionists
throughout the state in opposition
to such dictation and control on
the part of the whisky organiza
tions and rings, so that the false
representation of thi people shall
cease and their earnest and patri
otic wishes be allowed to prevail.
“4. Be it further resolved, That
the friends of prohibition through
out the state be and they are
hereby urged to proceed at once
to the inauguration and mainte
nance of an active and thorough
campaign in order to secure in
every possible instance the nomi
nation and election of a compe
tent and worthy man who can be
relied on to assist in good faith
and to the utmost of his ability
to giv6 effect to their views on the
'enactment and enforcement of a
law accomplishing state prohibi
tion.”
The above resolutions were unan
imonsly adopted by the commit
tee.—Athens Banner.

Murder, Lynching and Suicide- ,
The Chicago Tribune’s statisti
cian finds that there were 6,225
murders in the United States du
ring 1899, as against 7,840 in 1898.
Notwithstanding this great num
ber of capital crimes, there were
only 181 executions by hanging
during the past year. Of these
100 occurred in the southern states
and 81 in the northern. One of
those executed was sn Indian, 48
v ere white and 72 were negroes.
According to the Tribune, du
ring 1899 were 107 lynch
ings, 108 in the south and four in
the north. Twenty-three of the
persons lynched were white and 84
were black. Forty-four persons
were lynched for murder, 11 for
complicity in murder, one for ar
son and murder, 11 for assault, 6
for alleged assault and one for as
sault and murder. Over 60 per
cent, of £he lynchingß is confined
to four southern states, Georgia
with 28, as against 19 legal hang
ings. Mississippi with 14, Louisi
ana with 13, and Arkansas with 11.

COL. ROBERT E. PARK
Has Announced His Candidacy
For htate Treasurer.
Macon, Ga., Jan. 18.—Capt. R.
E. Park, of Macon, has authorixed
the formal announcement of his
candidacy for the state treasurer.
In fact, he has issued a card, ad
dressed to the public. •
Col. Park is one of the best
known men in the state never to
have held political office, and he
is recognized as a stauuch and
valuable member of the democrat
ic party.
He was born in LaGrange; and
was reared in Troup and Meriweth
er counties, but he has been a res
ident of Macon since 1872 m
years. For many years he has
been planting and stock raising at
Holton, in Bibb county, about
eight miles from Macon. He has
for years taken a lively interest in
agriculture, aud for 16 years has
been a member of the State Agri
cultural Society’s executive com
mittee. Several times be was urged
to run for president of that im
portant body of farmers, but al
wavs declined. For several years
he was vice-president of the Geor
gia State Dairyman’s Association.
He is a trustee of Emory College
aud of Wesleyan Female College,
aud was for two years president of
the Macon Chamber of Commerce.
He is editor and publisher of the
Farmer and Dairyman, a weekly
agricultural journal issued from
Holton, and is a member of the
Macon Press Club.
Capt. Park has sfe many warm
personal friends at any man with
the same number of acquaintances,
and he will make it interesting for
all comers, ii signs count for any
thing.
Ho lays no claim to office be
cause of his excellent war record,
but his gallantry and tireless de
votion to the Confederacy’s cause
has won for him as many ad
mirers and supporters as any oth
er one thing, perhaps.—Ex.
“DEEDS ARE FRUITS,
Words are but leaves.” -It is not
wbat we say, but what Hood’s
Sarsaparilla does that tells the
story. The many wonderful cures
effected by this medicine are the
fruits by which it should bo
judged. These prove it to be the
great, unequaled remedy for dys
pepsia, rheumatism, scrofula, salt
rheum, catarrh and all other ail
ments due to impure or impover
ished blood.
HOOD’S PILLS are non-irrita
ting, mild, effective.

We find that we have too many $4.50 to $6.00 suits on
hand, and in order to reduce them we offer them at $2.50
to $3.75 a suit, which is below wholesale cost.
We find in our stock lots of goods that-we are willing to

Come and see us; we are leaders in our line of business.

HOUSE IS SATISFIED
That Roberts Isa Polygamist and
Not Entitled to a Seat.
Washington, Jan., 18.—The
speoial committee of the house of
representatives to investigate the
case of Brigham H. Roberts, of
Utah, yesterday reached a final
conclusion. On the polygamous
status of Mr. Roberts the com
mittee was unanimous and agreed
upon a formal statement of facts
On the question of proceedure to
be adopted the committee was
divided. The majority, consist
ing of all the members exoept
Littlefield, of Maine, and DoAr-
of Missouri, favored the
exclusion at the outset. Messrs.
Littlefield, republican, aud DeAr
mond, democrat, will make a mi
nority report favorable to seating
Roberts on his prima facia rights
and then unseating him. The
majority were Taylor, Frear, Mor
ris and McPherson, republicans;
Lanham and Miers, democrats.
The statement of facts found by
the democrats is as follows:
"We find that B. H. Roberts
was elected a representative to the
fifty-sixth congress from the state
of Utah and was at the date of
his election above the age of
twenty-five years; that he has
been for more than seven years a
naturalized citizen of the United
States and was an inhabitant of
the state of Utah.
“We further find that about
1878 he married Lonsia Smith,
his first and lawful wife, with
whom he has ever since lived as
such and who, since their mar
riage, has borne him six children.
“That since 1885 he married as
his plural wife Celie Dibble, with
whom he has ever since lived as
such who, Biuce such marriage,
has borne him Bix children, of
whom the last were twins, born
August 11, 1897.
“That some years after his said
marriage he contracted another
plural marriage with Margaret C.
Shipp, with whom he has ever
since lived in the habit and repute
of marriage. Your committee iB
unable to fix the exact date of
this marriage. It does not ap
pear that he held her out as his
wife before January, 1897, or that
before that date she held him out
as her husband, or that before
that date they were reputed to be
husband and wife,
“That these facts were generally
known in Utah, publicly charged
against him during his campaign
for election and were not denied
by him.
“That the testimony bearing on
these facts was taken iu the pres
ence of Mr Roberts and that he
fully cross examined the witness
es, but declined to place himself
on the witness stand.”
Chairman Taylor says the re
port of the committee will be
made on Saturday, and that the
subject will be taken up in the
house next Tuesday—Exchange.
COIN’S NEW BOOK.
Reviewed by Wtlli* Abbot,
Chief ot Literary Bureau.
About four years ago a littlebook
issued modestly without any great
heralding or auy of the puffery
through the literary press which
is enjoyed by writers of romantic
fiction or doubtful verse, so seized
upon the minds of the American
people that it became perhaps the
most widely known book of the
decade and unquestionably the one
which more than all others influ
enced men in their political ac
tion. “Coin’s Financial School”
was the outgrowth of a series of
articles written by Mr, W. 11.
Harvey for his little paper, Coin,
aud was pushed by the Chicngo
Inter Ocean at the time when that
paper had not discovered that in
order to be republican it must
necessarily also be tbe servitor of
the bankers. It is hardly neces
sary to recount the tremen
dous success of the book or to es
timate the share it had iu awaken
ing the people of the United States
to a just comprehension of the im
portance of the money question iu
politics.
After four years, during which
period lie lias at all times been la
boring with voice and pen and or
ganizing ability to fulfill the mis
sion >( ’96, Mr. Harvey comes be
fore the people on the eve of the
new presidential oampaign with a
new book —iu the familiar style
of the former one, but treating of
the later through not more impor
tant issues which have sprung up
since the time that Mr. Bryan was
defrauded of his election. ‘‘Coin
on Money, Trusts and Imperial
ism," treats of at least one issue—
imperialism—’Which had nc t raised
its threatening head in ’96. Dur
ing that struggle, too, the trusts,
though already offering a certain
menace to the well-being of the
people, had not developed into
such startling proportions as they
now present. To these issues Coin,
iu his new series of lectures, de
votes much of his attention, but
the old issue—the issue that will
arise perennially until out of the
hands of a favored class shall be
taken the priceless privilege of is
suing and controlling the money
of the people—engages his atten
tion in the opening chapters of
his book. I do not think Mr.
Harvey has ever done anything so
well aB his dissection of the prive
leges enjoyed and the further ones
demanded by the national bank
ers. Iu a clear and simple style,
using as heretofore the dialogue
form he discusses the demand of
the hanking class that it shall be
permitted to control the money of
the people and shows conclusively
by figures, the authenticity of
which cannot be disputed, how
enormous are the profits they now
derive and hope to continue to
draw from their mouopoly. The
profit of the dealer in money is
the “unearned increment'’ uo less
certainly than the profit of the
speculator in laud who has contri
buted nothing to the productive
forces of the notion. Mr. Harvey
demonstrates this, though he does
not use this particular comparison
and I believe that his logic will
prove as irrefutable as his lang
uage is simple aud direct.
To the questions of trusts and
imperialism, questions which can
not fail to be bitterly debated dur
ing the campaign, the author has
brought a wealth of statistical ma
terial, reinforced by a clear and
logical comprehension of the prob
lems they involve, and I think the
strength and value of his discus
sion of these problems is derived
largely from the fact that he_ ap
proaches them not altogether from
the standpoint of the cold and in
sensate political economist, but
rather from that of the man who
puts into his political beliefs and
into his writing that touch of
of human sympathy, which made
much of the difference betwten
Herbert Spencer and Henry
George, Ido not believe that a
great book on economics or any
living and vital social social prob
lem can be written from the dry
as-dust point of view. Adam
Smith and Mill and J. Laurence
Laughlin may be necessary for the
progress of science, though in the
case of the latter I somewhat
doubt it, but it is not their type of
writing which accomplished great
things which stirs the people, and
which will be remembered outside
of academic halls or musty libra
ries.
In my opinion this new book of
Mr. Harvey’s—notably better than
“Coin’s Financial School” —by its

Letter From Texas.
Steadman, Tex., Jan. 18,1900.
Editor News-Herald: Please
allow me space in your paper to
say a few things about Texas.
There is no state in the union
that offers Buch inducements to
stock raisers as Texas. Stock of
all kinds can be raised upon its
grazing lands, and can be kept all
the year round without other food
than the natural grasses and for
age plants which grow perennially
upon its plains. An abundance
of water can be obtaiued in every
section of the state, even in the
most arid regions, by means of
wells, many of which are of arte
sian sonrce. Fruits ot all kinds
do well in every section, aDd the
pears of Texas are now recognized
as far superior iu flavor and qual
ity to any raised in California.
The sugar industry of Texas is
now in its infancy, but it is only
a question of time when the large
area of Texas sugar land will pro
duce more sugar than is now sup
plied by Louisiana. Another fact
has been demonstrated which will
soon open up the most profitable
branch of agriculture, and that is
the raising of a high grade of Ha
vanna tobacco upon the lands of

south and east Texas. The state
of Texas has already demonstra
ted the practicability of the cult
ure of Havanua tobacco upon the
state penitentiary farm, where
there was raised last year about
80,000 pounds, and it was proven
that the 'Viet profit on an acre of
tobacco was more than SIOO, the
average yield being.more than six
hundred pounds per acre. As
this product is so largely in de
mand that it can never suffer from
overproduction, an immense field
is here open to those who wish to
engage in this branch of agricult
ure. In northwest Texas there is
an immense area of wheat land
equal to any in Kansas, Nebraska,
or Dakota, where the average yield
per acre is from twenty to thirty
bushels, aud finds a ready outlet
to foreigu markets through the
port of Galveston, where perma
nent deep water has been secured,
and vessels of the largest draught
uow find ready entrance.
Cotton and corn and all the
cereals are successfully grown in
every section of the state, and
public school land can be had in
the various sectious of the state,
adapted to the growth of such
products as any one may desire,
and the number of acres on the
market in each county can be
found from each county clerk.
The finest pine forests in the
south and west are fonnd in east
Texas, and railroads are penetra
ting these forests. This land will
increase iu value enormously with
in the next ten years, and there is
no more profitable investment to
be found anywhere than the pub
lic pine lands at $6 to $lO per
acre.
