PEKRY IS OCT.
My connection with the News-
Herald ceased last issue.
I find after two years experience
in journalism, that for a man to
justice to any newspaper work his
entire time is necessarially con
sumed.
Prof. Bagwell will edit the paper
exclusively, and I heartily com
mend him to the present patron
age, with the hope of seeing it
greatly increased.
There is no reason why every
citizen of this county should not
take the “official organ” of their
county.
Prof. Bagwell will carry out all
contracts with the subscribers and
stockholders.
I am sincerely thankful to those
who have contributed so gener
ously to our success, and thank
you in advance for your continued
patronage. J. A. Perry.
The General Assembly of the

In some of the congressional
districts of tms state the census
enumerators have been appointed,
but the applicants in the 9th are
still on the auxious seat. What’s
the matter, Mr. Weitzel ?
Major Dick, the financial agent
of Mark Hanna, who handles the
boodle of the republican party,
was a conspicuous figure at the
recent middle-of- the-road populist
convention, at Cincinnati. We
all know what this means.
The British army is now mareh
ing through the Boer Republic
without, meeting with serious op
position. The Dutch army is rap
idly disintegrating and it appears
like organized opposition is near
ly at an end. It is probable that
a guerrilla war will go on for some
time after Kruger’s forces have
been captured, or scattered.
The contest over the governor
ship of Kentucky has not ended.
The supreme court of that state,
including the two republican
judges, held that the democratic
claimant was entitled to the of
fice, whereupon an appeal was
takeu to the supreme court of the
United States. The case has been
argued there, but no decision has
been rendered.
From the April number of the
Textile World, we see that sixty
new cotton mills are now either in
course of construction, or the cap
ital subscribed for building the
same, and that fourteen of the
number are Georgia enterprises.
The day is almost at hand when
the principal cotton spinning in
dustry of this country will be lo

A big street car strike is on in
St. Louis, and the people are suf
fering great inoonvenience in go
ing to and returning from their
work. A similar strike was start
ed at Kansas City at the same
time, but the strikers were injoin
ed, by the federal court, from in
terfering with non-union laborers
who desire to work, and the result
is that every position is filled and
the business of the company going
on as usual.
Aleck Whitney, one of the best
known and most popular young
men of Augusta, and an honor
graduate of the Technological
school, was brutally murdered, on
a street car in that city, lagt Sun
day afternoon, by a young negro
man. Whitney and his friend,
Lieut. Steiner, were riding togeth
er in the car when the negro got
on it, accompanied by a negro
woman. He insolently command- j
ed Whitney to get up and give his
seat to the woman, which he de
clined to do. The negroes then
crowded into seats, the man sit
ting down in Whitney’s lap, who
promptly shoved him off. The
negro immediately whipped out a
revolver and killed Whitney and
slightly wounded Steiner. The
other passengers disarmed the
negro and turned him over to the
police, who carried him to the
Augusta jail. A mob rapidly be
gan to form in the vicinity of the
jail. The negro was spirited away
by the sheriff and posse and placed
aboard of the Georgia railroad
train for Atlanta. The mob found
this out, and bad the sheriff with
his prisoner stopped at Groveton,
where he was taken possession of
and promptly lynched.
No matter how feeble the old
Veterans the comfort will be
ample and every attention will be
given on the Seaboard Air Line

TL'ESnAY’S PRIMARY.
Primaries were held throughout
the state last last Tuesday for the
nomination of a governor, state
house officers, judges of the su
preme and superior courts, solicit
ors general and congressmen.
There was no contest for any of
these offices, except for judges in
the Blue Ridge and Northern cir
cuits, solicitors general in "the
Macon and Northern circuits, and
for congress in the Third district,
where Lewis, the present member,
is opposed by Judge Allen Fort.
We have not received any re
ports from either of these con
tested fields, but it is safe to say
that Gober will be renominated
for judge in the Blue Ridge cir
cuit, and Lewis for congress in the
Third district, though the friends
of Fort say he has a fighting
chance.
One of the hottest fights in the
state is that for solicitor general
of the Macon circuit, where there
are seven candidates for that of
fice, and, among the number, John
R. Cooper, who is a Gwinnett boy,
and, consequently, has a large
number of friends and relatives
here who feel a deep interest in
the result.
If any definite news reaches us
before going to press we will give
our readers the benefit of it.
POPULIST CONVENTIONS.
Two years ago, the middle-of
the-road populists held a conven
tion, at Cincinnati, at which they
nominated Wharton Barker, of
Philadelphia, for president, and
Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota,
for vice-president.
The delegates to this convention,
like those to all populist conven
tions, were self-elected. The rank
and file, the boys who are expect
ed to do the voting, had no voice
in their selection, not a bit more
tnan the populist party will ever
have in the affairs of government.
But there is nothing so much
enjoyed by a genuine, unadultera
ted, all wool and a yard wide pop,
who never expects to accomplish
anything further than howling
and denouncing, than meeting in
convention and resolutin’ and
nominating, somebody for some
thing, without the slightest hope
or expectation of accomplishing
more. In these conventions they
can have their way, and they en
joy this little authority the more,
because they cannot have things
as they wish anywhere else in the
wide, wide world. No humane
person begrudges the “boys” who
elect themselves delegates to these
“conventions” the little pleasure
they derive from such occasions.
It is the only real enjoyment they
get out of the game of politics,
and, being perfectly harmless, the
most cynical has no right to com
plain about anything they do.
Remembering how they rode on
half fare tickets two years ago,
the good lager and hotel hash they
threw themselves around in Cin
cinnati at that time, these same
delegates re-elected themselves to
another national convention, to
be held at the same place. This
“convention” met last week for
the purpose of again nominating
Barker and Donnelly, resolutin’
some more, and dallying with
Budweiser and the weinerwurst of
the Queen City.
So Wharton and Ignatius have
again had the banner placed in
their hands, and the truly loyal
are expected to march up to the
polls next fall and bestow their
suffrage upon them, provided,
these delegates do not conclude
to call another convention, nomi
nate another ticket and resolute
some more.
But this was not the only na
tional convention held last week.
A few months ago the national
executive committee of the whole
populist party met for the pur
pose of mapping out a program
for the presidential election. The
representatives from the extreme
western and middle western states,
where alone the populist vote can
I be so cast as to affect the result,
! advocated fusing with the d?mo
| crats, for the purpose of defeating
the republican party. The mid-
dle-of-the-road crowd, however,
insisted on putting a straight pop
ulist ticket in tbe field, and thus
help re-elect McKinley. The re
sult was that this committee split,
and two conventions were called,
one to meet at Sioux Kails and the
other at Cincinnati. The Sioux
Falls convention, which was the
largest and most representative
body, and at which every populist
leader of national reputation was
present, nominated W. J. Bryan
for president and Chat. A.Townne
for vice president. It is under
sto >d that Mr. Towue will with
draw from the ticket, unless the
democratic national convention
places him on the ticket as the
democratic nominee, and thus
throw the whole populist vote of
the west to the democracy.

TBS PHILIPPINE WAR.
Ceteral Otis declared that the
war in he Philippines was prac
tically ended several months ago.
but the foroes of Aguinaldo are
becoming active again and a se
rious insurrection is threatened
in Manila.
The American troops hold the
principal cities, both in the inte
rior and on the sea coast, and are
rarely molested by the enemy, but
it seems impossible to drive the
Filipinos fiom their mountain
retreats, so as to secure protection
to life and property in tho coun
try districts, unless more troops
are sent to scour the outlying ter
ritory While there are 60,000
American soldiers in the island,
that number is not sufficient to
garrison the towns and ci tie*, pro
tect the railroad, the communica
tions between the different divi«
ions and leave a force large enongh
to sweep the outlying districts,
and scatter or capture the bands
of guerrillas and small organized
forces which are now trying to get
together for formidable operations
when the rainy season is 00.
The Philippine Islands are now
the property of the United States,
and, whether we hold them as
permanent possessions, or turn
them over to the natives when
they have shown themselves cap
able of maintaining a government
of their own, that will secure pro
tection to person and property, it
is the duty of our government to
suppress all armed resistance to
its authority before treating with
the Filipinos upon any basis short
of absolute and unconditional
surrender. If more troops are
needed they should be sent at
once, as a short and decisive cam
paign would be better than a pro
tracted war, regardless of the
question of expenses.
LATEST ELECTION NEWS.
There were comparatively few
contests in the state primary held
last Tuesday, and full returns have
not been received.
Lewis defeated Fort for congress
in the Brd district; Fite was re
nominated for judge of the Chero
kee circuit, Gober in the Blue
Ridge, Spence in the Albany, and
Worley in the Northern circuit.
Var.duzer beats Lewis for solic
itor of the Northern circuit; Pope
Polhill defeated Cooper, Bayne,
Duncan, Hodges and Lane for
solicitor of the Macon circuit,
Cooper beat Kenney for clerk of
Clarke superior court by two ma
jority, and A. J. Mundy was de
feated for sheriff of Hall county.
J. N. Holder, of Jackson county,
wus nominated for the senate, and
Hosch and Niblack for the house
of representatives Maj. W. H.
Hulsey was defeated by Wilkinson
for Ordinary of Fulton county by
thirty-nine majority, and John
W. Nelmee turned down Dr. Amos
Fox for sheriff by 1400 majority.
Col. Lovic P. Thomas, formerly
of Lawrenceville, was on the
Nelmes ticket.
Seaborn Wright was nominated
for the legislature from Floyd
county.
Hon. Seab. Wright,who was the
populist nominee for governor in
the last race made by Gov. At
kinson, is now a candidate in the
democratic primary of Floyd coun
ty, for the legislature, and will be
nominated and elected. This is
evidence that the patriotic mem
bers of the populist party, who
are actuated by principle instead
of prejudice and a desire to help
the republican party, will not be
proscribed when they come back
home.
To th« Old Confederates,
New Orlbans, 1,a., Mar 3, 1000.
My Dkab Comrades: The corres
pondence at head quarters, and all in
dications, point to a very large attend
ance at the Louisville reunion on May
30th-June 3rd., probably the largest
we have ever had at any previous re
union.
There is everything to induce the
old Veterans to attend this great re
union, as all of the arrangements made
by the different oommittees for the
care and comfort of the old soldiers of
the south are of the most satisfactory
character, and are gotton up upon an
elaborate and magnificent scale.
The members of the Louisville re
union committee were splendid sol
diers during the war, and are of the
highest type of citizenship in peace,
and their first care has been for the
comfort and pleasure of the old Veter
ans, everything else is to be made sub
sidary to this.
In addition to this it has been their
care to see that the Sponsors, Maids of
Honor, Sons and Daughters of Veter
ans, Military Kscorts accompanying
Veterans, and all classes of visitors,
will be properly provided for and
looked after.
Board can be hid at any price de
sired.
Information of any character will
he gladly furnished by Colonel Bennet
H. Voung, Chairman Reunion Com
•mittee, or oy any member of the Re
union Committee.
The reduced railroad rate applies to
any member of your family, or to any
one not a Veteran; you are, therefore,
urged to attend this great reunion,
and take everyoue you can with you.
Fraternally,
Geo. Moorman,

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY
Johnston’s Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES.
“DANGER IN THE EARTH AND AIR; DANGER EVERYWHERE.’*
A Wlie and Venerable Doctor Talk* about Advanced Science.
In a leading hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was c' uvcra.
ing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group ~ well
dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers. (
My firm belief, is “ that medical science is certain yet to show that ,i • o.a
eases without exception are caused bv invisible germs which are living oiyao
isms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus
of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which
causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very
common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh.”
“I wish. Doctor,” said the traveling man, “that you would tell us about
catarrh. I have had it for years, and lam thoroughly discouraged.
The Doctor answered. “Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid
fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood
and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting
disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it i« rare to meet one
who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. Now often is lie or
she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves
of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca
tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to
himself and his friends. . , _
“ I believe,” continued this gre#t physician, “that the true way to heal ca
tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alterative#
which act as blood purifiers.”
Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes:
Dear Sirs:—For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic
catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and short of breath. I could
hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My
hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up
in the morning-, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had
awful pains in the small bi my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness.
My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn’t go half a dozen
steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have
a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left mv veins. The doc
tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever ST®*;"
ting well- I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get anv relief.
My husband got me a bottle of Johnston’s Sarsaparilla. I took it, and then I
bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved in
health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re
freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I
kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work
all the time, and am happy. lam positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life.
The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca
tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston s
Sarsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head
aches to use your Sarsaparilla.
