The Georgia editors just can’t

Well, Atlanta put the kabosh to Beaver, and cotzig%ssioners
put Capt. Mayo, in his place. Truly it is rough traveling to
suit the many factions of Atlanta. 1f Mayo will restrict vise,
instead of scatteringit, perhaps his antagonism, won't_ge 39 bad.
And to think that Texas, the state that was so W"&héfifi ad
vise us to be humane in the Frank case, has outraged humanity
by burning a negro on the public square of Temple Aeted so
hastily that the negro was not allowed to tell who aidedihim in
the crime. Chickens will come home to roost, % i
Threatened with an extra session of the legislature, % Good
Lord #ave us from the calamity. Considering the condiiioxi’é exis
ting, it seems true patriotism would have caused the men to have
got down to business and did necessary things, then cut their di
does if , they had it to do, This foolishness over prokibition and
other matters ought to be settled without so much wrangling.
(ilad to state that Clerk Frank Brown lias written “I am di
rected by the Board of County Commissioners to say in reply to
your letter of July 31st, that they hope at a very early date to do
the necessary work on the four mile stretch of road to which you
refer, At present all convicts are placed on work that cannot
be abandoned until completed. By order of the Board-.”%
I'hree cheers for them if this means the work will be»idone,
and we believe they intend doing the work at once. This is the
road in Duval that connects with the Crawford-St George road.
Pinch me and wake me up, Some misguided friend says
he is afraid that The Herald will lose friends if we harp tou much
on the Dixie Highway. Too bad, too bad, but what we want to
do is to get results, as friends pass in.a night,—but getting things
builds a better reputation than catering to the whim of Tom,
Dick and Harry, One good thoroughfare thru Charlton county
means better roads in every neighborhood, Little veins must

Now come fellow citizens, while on this subject, 1 want to say
a word about some of the roports reaching mine ears about * the
convicts always working in the ¥olkston distriet,” lie, for
shame, and to think that the most kicks comes from Traders Hill
where the convicts have been for 10, these many days. Folk
ston had them first two month they came back, been i the Tole
do and Traders Hill district ever since then, Now boys you can
keep quiet for awhile as they are going to work on the Racepond
road, which needs it * wusser than any.” Next after them the
Winokut road to Wayne county line, That’s fair play,
St, George is going to bave a hard time, fiuding a man to fill
my friend Blake's shoes. Of course, being human, he had his
faults as all of us do, but he was a good man to have in a com

tiny of a small town in the right channels.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local lpgucnlonl. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There i#
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness |s
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous unin%of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when ft is
entirely closed, Deafness is the resuit, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to {ts normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
CAses out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is nothing but an lnnauux condition
of the W surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
enso of Deafness (caused by eatarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
