POO* PIWIT. | When Admiral Dewey landed in New York city on his return from the Philippine Islands, he was giv en perhaps ths greatest reception ever given any man by the Ameri can people. His praises were sounded in every part of the Uni ted States. He was the idol of the people. But when he married and gave to his wife the home that the people had given him, a reaction began. One mistake has followed pie should be given an opportuni j ty to honor him for his heroic servioes in war, as Washington, Grant, Taylor and other* have been honored, it is highly prob able that it would result in his overwhelming defeat and shame. His contemplated visit to Atlanta was denied him by telegrams from the city authorities asking our Congressmen ond Senators not to invite him to come. His an- nouuaement for Presidency falls equally as flat. Poor Dewey I It is hard that he, who has fought the greatest battle upon the sea, should lose the love of his country men. •KNSCS DIRECTOR I'REFKRS WOMEN. Some time ago it was announced that women were to be gradually eliminated from the governmental departments at Washington. Ev ery reason but the true one, which is that women have no votes, wo* given as an excuse for such course. In contrast with this ao tiou of various heads of depart ments in Washington against wo men, it is refreshing to find one man who overides political bosses and insists upon employing those best fitted for the work, irrespec tive of sex. The following an nouncement comes from Wash ington: Gen. W. R. Merriam, Director of the Census, refuses to accept any more men as clerks. He wants women. He has addressed a letter to each member of Con gress and informed him that here after he will not permit the ex amination of men for positions. On July 1 he will employ from 1500 to 1800 women. Against this there has been a decided pro test, Republicans and Democrats alike have political favors to re pay, and women vote in only a few states. Already there have been charges that men have been found deficient in examinations, while women are nearly always passed. Director Merriam will have the employment of nearly 6000 persons, and insists upon ap pointing women to nine-tenths of the places. Senators receive fifteen appoint ments each; Republican represen tatives six; Democratic represen tatives three, and members with a "pall” as many as they like. Few senators or representatives have filled their quotas, and unless ap appointments are made before the examinations in April Director Merriam himself #ill make the selections from the civil service eligible list. * what thk prohibitionists aki I>OING. We see from our exchanges that there are going to be a great many candidates for representatives and senators in tbe next legislature. The explanation of the extraordi nary number of applicauts for these honors is that there is a quiet movement both on tbe part of the Prohibitionists and on the part of the liquor element to elect men to the legislature that will support their respective causes Tbe Prohibitionists, from the best information we can gather, have tbe advantage in the fight thus far. The last House beiug strongly in favor of the Willingham bill, and as many of the old members will return, it is claimed that there will be no trouble in the passing of a Prohibition measure in that body. In the Senate, too. the Prohibitionists seem to have the advantage. Many Senatorial dis- tricts, which were represented by anti-Prohibitionists before, will send strong Prohibitionists to the next Senate. Mr. J£d Wright, of the tenth district, was opposed to the Willingham bill. It is almost sure that Mr. G. G. Ford will be the next senator from ths tenth, and he is a strong Prohibitionist. Bartow county is going to send W. H. Lumpkin to vote for the Wil lingham bill, in which district the last senator was an anti-prohibi tionist. A like situation prevails iu the Nineteenth district, lepre seuted in the last senate by Judge Columbus Heard, of Green coun ty, which district will be most likely represented in the next by Mr. J. C. Jerhnagan, a member of the last House from Warren coun ty. Mr. Jerhnagan comes from a dry county and voted for tbe Wil lingham bill, while Senator Heard never left his seat while the meas ure was up in the Senate, and when the time came voted against the bill. Other instances could be given upon this line, but these are sufficient as a pointer to what is going on with reference to this issue in Georgia. THAT LKTTKK. Hon. Thomas E. Winn is re ceiving the commendaiion of the press throughout the state for that manly and patriotic letter which he wrote the Constitution and which appeared in The News-Her ald a few weeks ago. If the Democratic party had de clared for the free coinage of sil ver iu 1892, as it did in 1896, and will do this year, he would never Uft 4.U - T\ a J - that the Democratic platform is in keeping with his sentiments, what better is there for him to do than to endorse it ? Some of our Populists seem to be a little alarm ed at Col. Winn’s letters. They need not be, for the Populists as a national, state and county or ganization is rapidly losing, and they will all, sooner or later, have to do eithor as Col. Winn has done or affiliate the negro rule. They needn’t deny that their party U dying. Two ol their leaders in Georgia have openly left their ranks this year. Where is apr m lneut man that has joined them since Christmas ? Can they show the gain of a single man in Gwin nett county ? We can point to some good men who say they are not going to affiliate with the Pop ulists any longer. The convention hall of Kansas City was burned last week, but another will be built for the great Democratic convention which meets there on the fourth of July. Mr. Roland Ellis, one of the leaders in that filibustering crowd in the last legislature, and candi date for the senate from the 22nd district, is to have opposition in the person of Clem P. Steed. Mr. Steed’s coming into the race is a movement on the part of the Prohibitionists, and this will be one of the hottest senatorial races in Georgia. In speaking of the recent letter from Hon. Thos. E. Winn to the Atlanta Constitution, the Dahlon ega Signal says: "He was a mem ber of Congress from the Ninth Congressional district, several years ago, and haß been an influ ential member of the Populist party since its organization. Col. Winn’s avowal that he will m future vote with the Democratic party will strengthen the party here, aud his course will be fol lowed by others who have for sev eral years past voted the Populist ticket. ” YOU MUST REGISTER NOW If you desire to vote in the Democratic primary called by the State Democratic Executive Com- mittee for May 15th. The fact that you registered last year will not do, as the order of the committee is that, only those who have registered in 1900 can vote. Registration for this election will close May sth. REPEAL THE WAR TAX. Why Ooitinue to Tax the People Million of Hollars? March 10, 1900, the U. S. Treas ury had on hand as shown by the official statement a net cash bal ance of over three hundred million dollars. The government receipts, in excess of all expenses for eight months prior to April Ist, were over sixty-two and one-half mil lion dollars, or an average of near ly eight million dollars per month. At this rate money is being taken out of circulation and concentra ted in the vaults of the U. S. Treas ury in the enormous sums of nine ty-six million dollars-per year,and for what purpose or usage ? This concentration of the circulating medium cannot fail to result, very materially, detrimental to busi- ness at large. In bis letter to congress, Jan. 10, 1900, the Secretary of the Treasury said: “The revenues are now exceeding disbursements from month to month, and seem likely to do so for an indefinite time. This condition would be a menace to the business world if assurances were not given that this surplus would be diverted from the treasury vaults to public depositories where, while secure to the government, it would remain available to business use.” The existence of over three hun dred million dollars in cash means that the government has not only the required gold reserve, as per the law just passed, but also one hundred and fifty million of dol lars over over and above all ex penses, and still the government is collecting taxes on checks, deeds, mortgages, medicines, per fumes, bills lading, telegrams, money orders, etc., levying upon the people an unjust, harrassing, oppressive tax. What possible excuse can there now be for Con gress refusing to repeal this un just stamp tax upon business doc uments, medicines, toilet articles, etc? Think about it! Since July 1, 1899, there has gone into the public treasury an average daily surplus of over two hundred aud seventy thousand dollars, and it is increasing from day to day, and now that the gov ernment does not need the money, why continue it and tax the peo ple ?—Ex.

How To Gain Flesh Persons have been known to gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of SCOTT’S EMUL SION. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going prop erly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he could not do be fore, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is rccessary for health; if you have f.v i got it you can get it by ia'.ir.g Refill’s paision You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter, and if you art thriving upon it don’t stop because flic weather is warm. soc. and sx.oo, all druggists.
