Bryan, of Nebraska, For Vice President, AutHER Sewall, of Maine. For Congress, L.F.Livingston, of Newton. The Georgia legislature convened yesterday. It has been suggested that Mr. Charles R, Crisp be e lected to fill his father’s un* expired term in congress. Col. W. L. Peek is no long¬ er in the race for congress in this district, having with¬ drawn his candidacy last week So far as Georgia is con¬ cerned, Hon. Tom Watson is completely ‘‘out of it,” having no electors. His own party did it, In the death of Hon. Chas. F, Crisp, which occurred in Atlanta last Friday, Georgia loses another of her gifted sons. \ full account of the death and burial may be found in another column. Citizen, in the last issue of the Weekly, suggests Tucker the name of Mr. P. G. to succeed Maj. Almand as Mayor of Conyers. The sug¬ gestion is a good one and meets our approval at once. Mr. Tucker is well qualified to fill the office and is a worthy gentleman. Let him be elected without opposi¬ tion. The city council of Ilogans ville held an election last Thursday to decide whether or not the town should issue bonds for the purpose of e recting a public school build¬ ing- The result of the vote was 78 to 13 in favor of issu¬ ing the bonds. If Hogans viile can issue bonds and build a house for her public schools, why cannot Conyers? We call especial attention to one paragraph m Sam Snip’s letter this week in which he says, “A large por¬ tion oi the success of each county,” referring to Morgan and Jasper counties, “is at¬ tributive to their present good road system.” Such is the Statement from every county where the roads have been put in good condition. Rock* dale needs a good road sys¬ tem and steps should be tak¬ en to get it.

DR. HATHAWAY It (XX. US death Bro a d ft , Atlanta, Ga. When it comes to hustling news the Atlanta Journal is right in the ring. Last Fri¬ day afternoon Hon. Charles F. Crisp died at 2 o’clock and at 3:50 the people of Conyers read an account 01 the death in the Journal, In just one hour and fifty min utes the death had occurred, the article written, the type set and the paper printed and sent 31 miles and was being read. Is it possible that China, with her hundreds of millions of inhabitants, cannot have a financial system of her own, but must insist that her cus¬ toms be paid in “British gold standard” money? The information is that Chinese customs duties must hereaf¬ ter be paid in gold, instead of silver taels, owing to the great decline of silver and inconvenience and embar¬ rassment resulting from its use.—Savannah News. Maj. PL H. Almand has declined to offer himself a candidate for re-election to the office of Mayor of Con¬ yers for anotheryear. He has made a splendid record and, had he consented to make the ra|ie, would have been re¬ elected without opposition. He has handled our muni¬ cipal affairs in a business like manner and his executive ability and the fairness with which he has dealt with our people have added to him many close friends who will always be glad of an him oppor¬ fu¬ tunity to cast upon ture honors. If Governor Atkinson should be elected to the senate, the next Democratic nominee will have a much stronger fight on his hands than the one so recently passed. If the governor loves his people and his state, he will not va¬ cate the gubernatorial chair just at this time and throw the people into another hot campaign.. Such a step would greatly embarrass his party and he should not al¬ low political ambition to stand in the way of a plain duty to liis party. If duty, the ligislature will do its Georgia will send some other than Governor Atkinson to the senate. The Madisonian says; “The battle of the ballots is over, the voice and tumult of contending factions is hushed, the flags are furled, the horns of the footers have been laid aside, and “order once more reigns supreme in Warsaw. i i With all this i t pride, pomp and circum¬ stance of glorious war“ let 11s also lay aside all of our bitterness, and love our friends and political adver¬ saries as we did before. Life is too short for such trivial antagonisms, and death too near and to certain for such unholy emotions, “The paths of glory lead but to the grave.” IHfONDERFUL Ww are the cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and yet they an* simple and natural. Hood’s Sarsa¬ parilla makes PURE BLOOD. A bill is to b« introduced in the Georgia legislature to al¬ low a women to bold the office of state librarian, Miss Ellen Dor tch is a candidate. CA TO ft. fke- U « iiail* trmy si fa* me ef ’ One Campaign Enough. The death of Hon, Charles F. Crisp will cause a hot con test for United States to which he would have been chosen had he lived. Already several have announced their candidacy for the place and it is altogether probable wiU Governor Atkinson be a candidate and, if he is elected, this will result in anothei hot scramble for the gubernato¬ rial chair. Governor Atkinson ought to think of what the result of his being elected to the sen¬ ate would be to the state just at this time and content him¬ self with the honors the peo¬ ple have confered upon him. He has just been magnifi¬ cently endorsed by Democ¬ racy and ought not to vacate his present office and start another heated contest—the people don’t want it. CASTORIA.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutipnal remedies. Deaf¬ ness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbl¬ ing sound or is imperfect, entirely hearing, closed, and when it deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor¬ mal condition, hearing will be destroyed caused forever; by nine catarrh,which cases out of ten are is nothing but an inflamed condi¬ tion of the mucons surfaces. We will give one hundred dol¬ lars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for testimonials, free.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when the languid exhaused feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and slug¬ gish and the need of a tonic and alterative felt. A prompt use of medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal billions fevsrs. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti¬ pation, Dizzinss yield to Electric Bitters. 50c. and $1 00 per bot¬ tle at Dr. W. H. Lee’s Drug Store.
