CURRENT NEWS.
Every one of Georgia’s cities
will show sub tuntial gains of pop¬
ulation in the forthcoming census
reports. What is still more grati¬
fying is that the rural districts and
the towns have also increased in
population. Georgia has a healthy,
all around growth during the last
ten years.—Exchange.
There are 1800 Protestant mis¬
sionaries in China. Of these 1000
are men and 800 are women. The
latest accounts say that there are
over 100,OCX) converted Chinese in
full church fellowship, including
5000 native preachers and teachers.
But when ycu consider that China
has a population of 400,000,000,
this does not seem so encourag¬
ing.
A Green county census enumer¬
ator found a negro with seven chil¬
dren, who had forgotten their
names, as all were nick named.
An unknown bright mulatto was
found dead near the handle facto¬
ry alongside the Giorgia railroad
track at Madison. It was thought
ho was a fruit p ddler on an excur¬

A white man of Monroe county
has boon placed in jail in Macon
for refusing to answer questions of
tlie census enumerator.
DO NOT NEGLECT THIS.
Now is the time for our citizens
to take special pains in keeping
their premises perfectly clean. Let
the back yards present just as at¬
tractive appearance as the fron 1
ones. A little negligence on the
part of a single individual in fail¬
ing to give this matter of clean
premises proper attention may
lead to Typhoid fever in our town.
Remember theio has been an un¬
usual amount of rain and the
chances for sickness are quite fav¬
orable unless proper attention b
given to this important matter.
Clean your premises and clean
them at once.
LENGTH OF DREAMS.
Ariel could put a girdle round
about the world in forty minutes,
but he was alow compared with thie
most ordinary dream. We survey
mankind in China and peru at the
same instant of time, and in the
course of one revolving moon we
may walk with Plato in the Groves
of Academe, applaud Luther at the
Diet of worms, set out for Holy
Palestine with Coeur-de-lion, assist
Noah in building the ark, and call
on the mountains to cover us at
the day of Judgement.
Many stories are told showing
the different count of time. Lord
Brougham relates that he dreamed
a dream of long-cmtinued action
during a shot doze while a droning
counsel was pleading before him.
Lord Holland, falling asleep while
listening to some one reading
dreamed a long dream, and awoke
in time to hear the conclusion of a
sentence the first words of which
were in his ears when he became
unconscious. Dr. Abercrumbie re
lates that a gentleman dreamed
that he had euiisted for a soldier,
joined hi, regiment, darted, had
been apprehended, carried back,
tried, condemned to be shot, and at
last led out for execution. After
all the usual preparations lie awoke
with the report, and found that a
noise m an adjoining room had
both produced the dream and awak¬
ened him.
Another dreamed that iie had
crossed the Atlantic and spent a
fortnight in America. In embark¬
ing, on hig return, he fell into the
sea. and, havii g woke with fright,
he found that lie had not been
asleep ten minutes.—[All the year

Novel Cure For .Seasickness.
Oxygen is the newest cure for eea
sickness. The remedy comes from
Paris, where two physicians have been
engager) for some time in the attempt
to lessen one difficulty in the way of
American visitors to the exposition.
Nor could any more welcome service
be rendered. The first step toward the
invention of a new remedy was to de¬
termine what seasickness really Is.
The conclusion at which these wise
doctors arrived is that “the great and
sudden disturbance of the viscera and
the contraction of the diaphragm are
the principal causes of seasickness."
Oxygen, they accordingly decided, was
the logical remedy. The proper course
for the traveler, then, according to the
New York World, is to provide himself
with a supply of tubes containing pure
oxygen. At the first symptoms of sea¬
sickness some of the oxygen should be
inhaled, but only through the mouth,
the nostrils being kept closed. The In¬
halations should be long and made at
regular intervals.
A New Table.
A new table, for use by invalids con¬
fined to bed. Is made so that it can be
raised or lowered and can be Increased
or decreased in diameter to overlap the
side of the bed. By pressing a knob It
can bo converted iuto a reading desk,
nnd spring clips are provided for hold¬
ing the reading matter In position. The
mechanism of this table is so easily
worked that an invalid can perforin
the necessary operations without as¬
sistance.
AN Epidemic Of Diarrhoea.
Mr. A. San ders, writing from Cocoa

quite au epidemic of diarrhoea there.

IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Pat
eut Medicines?
From svlvau valley News, Brevrad, n .c
It may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffering
we feel it u duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera Diarrahd
h: ea Remedy. We have known and us¬
ed this medicine in our family for twenty
years and have always found it reliable.
In many e.isss a dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while a
physician is awaited. We do not believe
in depending implciry on any medicine
for a cure, but we do believe that if a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Diarrhoea Re-
inedy were kept on hand end ndmiuisted
at the inception of an attack much suf¬
fering might be avoided aud in very
many cases the presence of a physician
woo Id not be required. At least this has
been our expereuce during the twenty
years years * • For For sale sale The The Gailey Gailey Drug Drug Co. Co.

flUR ENGINES IN EGYPT.

LORD OBOKEB’S OBSERVATION.
HU Defense of the Government Por
ektiei Reported by the America*
CouauDat Cairo—Yankee Qutckneaa
and Cheapness Prevail In Spite of
Different Models Employed,
“Many impressive evidences of the
efficiency of the United States system
of building up and promoting indus¬
tries are afforded by the recent rapid,
expansion of our exports of manufac¬
tured goods in all parts of the world
and especially in Egypt, 5 ’ writes Consul
General Long from Cairo to the state
department at Washington, “While
our makers of agricultural Implement*
and machinery are just beginning to
properly appreciate the value and Im¬
portance of the new field in the great
valley of the Nile, it will be observed
from the following extracts from the
report of Lord Cromer, British agent
and consol general in Egypt, on the
finances, administration and condition
of Egypt and the Sudan in 1899 that
American builders of railway locomo
tives, whose foresight and enterprise
carried them into successful comped
£ «*$“ ^,7.^
may be confidently assumed that they
are here to stay.
“Under the head of ‘Railways’ Lord
Cromer says:
“ ‘Large additions were made to the
rolling stock in the course of last year.
Most of the new stock added is, how¬
ever, to replace old stock which had
been condemned. I may mention that
four trial heavy engines exceeding in
power the largest locomotives in use on
the English railways were ordered last
year—viz, two from a firm in Glasgow
and two from America.
“ ‘On the subject of various works
now In progress Captain Johnstone, tUe
acting president of the railway admin¬
istration, writes to me: “They form but
a small part of what is required, and I
trust that funds may mpn be available
for the various urgent services, more
especially in connection with the port
of Alexandria and the Cairo goods
yard, which the administrations have
from time to time brought before the
government for approval.”
“ ‘On this point I can pnly repeat
what I said last year. There can be no
doubt that railway progress in Egypt
has not kept pace with the growiug
prosperity of the country. \S hat is
now required is that a considerable
sum—say one and a half millions—
should be borrowed in order to enable
the railways to be put into thoroughly
good working order. * * I am
glad to say that the only locomotives
recently supplied by an English firm of
Glasgow have not given the slightest
trouble. Those purchased from Amer¬
ica in 1898 have also done well, but as
they differ In many respects from our
standard type our men have taken
some time to learn their peculiarities,
and we have not been able to get the
best results out of them.
“ ‘The action of the board in ordering
locomotives and wagons from America
has been criticised. It Is due simply to
the fact that American firms while
they are not In a position to tender on
more favorable terms than others on
our designs almost Invariably offer us
engines or wagons built to standard
designs of their own at lower prices
and in less time, while English and
other European makers content them¬
selves with tendering on our designs,
being, as a rule, not In the habit of
manufacturing to standard designs of
their own. Wo much prefer adhering
to our own standards, but In cases
where time and cost are of great im¬
portance such an offer from America
cannot be passed by.
“ ‘On the other hand, the length of
time required at present by competent
English firms to execute such orders ie
prohibitive, and the only order placed
for locomotives this year besides the
trial orders referred to elsewhere went
to a Belgian firm, who offered delivery
In 314 months less than any English
firm and who have done good work for
us In previous years,’
“The above observations of Lord Cro¬
mer refer to the year 1899. Today there
are 46 American locomotives either in
use or ordered by the Egyptian railway
administration; 871 ears are in use, and
orders for 400 more care have been
placed. The superiority of American
engines and cars as well as of all other
railway equipment and supplies is con¬
ceded by-railway officials and experts,
and the demands upon our shops will
continue to grow with increasing rapid¬
ity.
“The people of the United States may
look "with pardonable pride upon our
success in furnishing electrical engines
for Loudon, locomotives for •railway*
In India and Great Britain, iron bridges
for the Sudan and machinery and man¬
ufactured goods for all countries. Hav¬
ing supplied our own markets, we now
send forth the machinery that Is to aid
civilization In all parts of the globe,
from the burning deserts of the Sudan
to the frozen fields of Siberia."
