BATE K DAI, June 20,- 1891.
Maj. Joseph B. Cummings has re
signed his position as general attor
ney for the Georgia railroad.
The state fair seem to be in a mud
die. Macon is not standing up to the
fair like the agricultural society thinks
she should.
Our country was prosperous and
happy unul the republicans came into
power lu 1 Hfil- This was because the
governrat ■nt lmd been run in the in
terest of the people.
It is rumored that Burks and Bur
gess arc to have charges prefered
against them in their sub alliance and
there bo tried. If they should get
their just deserts they would both be
turned out to graze.
Some people are very much exer
eised just now for the salty of the
democratic party. However, it- has
not been mauy months since these
name parties were voting against the
nominees of that party. How things
do cluing*
Never in the history of the country
was the outlook so gloomy as at pros
out. There is absolutely uo money to
be had at any interest and cotton
down to the very bottom. If anything
would cause a political revolution
this is it seems sufficient.
The Augusta Chronicle is now a
Cleveland organ, but it was bitterly
opposed to him when he wrote his fa
mous ‘free trade message.’ Now that
Cleveland has come out in favor of
Wall Street money kings the Chroni¬
cle is for him.
Men who say there is enough mon¬
ey in circulation are eiiher fools or
knaves. There is now only $4.72 per
capita in circulation and the expense
of the government is $8.00 per capi¬
ta. When we had $50.00 per capita
in circulation the expense of the gov¬
ernment was only $2.02. The masses
cau't stand this state of things much
longer.
The now school house will be ready
for the fall term. The building com¬
mittee has he* u appointed and as
sot'ii as possible work will begiu on
the konst It will in* a great day for
Conyt vs \» lu»n it opened. It will be
a gnat day lor the county. A good
school at home where the children of
the town and county can receive a
high school education. It will save
thousands of dollars every year.
Will the democratic congress give
the necessary relief to the people du¬
ring the next session of that body.
It is no time to dully aud postpone
matters. The relief must come and
if the democratic party is not equal to
the undertaking then the people will
look els where for relief. It will not
be to the republican party either, but
to the tbiui part. The key to the sit
uatiou is held by the democrats and
if they fail to improve the opportuni¬
ty the gnat rank of the party will
desert it and vote for what they
want.
We give our readers a supplement
this week on the silver question. The
letters were prepared by Mr. Henry
Jones who is thoroughly posted on
our fin o ctal system. They were pre
pared for the Atlanta Constitution
Constitution and were first published
iu that excellent journal. By the
close perusal of these letters you will
lie able to comprehend the great ne
cessuy tor the free and unlimited
oomog silver. His facts and fig
ures stau d undisputed aud his argu
uieut is eLar and comprehensive. U e
commend a careful and studied read
*ng of these letters.
There is much being said and wri
ten just at this time about the Alli
ance joining the third party. The
hope that the democratic party would
triumph in 112 has about flickered in
the breast of the easily alarmed mem¬
bers of the party. However, there is
no need of any consternation. The
alliauce will stand to the democratic
party if the party proves itself worthy
of the support of the alliance; but if
the leaders of that party join the
enemies of the people and abaudo n
the first principles of true democracy
then the alliance will desert the party
and let the leaders go over to the re¬
publicans where they rightfully be¬
long. The democratic party was
originally the party of the people and
when it ceases to be this let it die
and die dead. Auy party that sells
itself out corrupt leaders and money
kings is not worth7 of confidence or
support. Let the democratic party
proves its fealty the people and there
will be no danger of the alliance de
sertins the party.
The Southern Mutual Accident
Insurance Company is the title
of the latest enterprise in Au¬

A young man in the neigh¬
borhood of Shewmake’s mill, in
Laurens county, while fishing
with dynamite Wednesday fai¬
led to throw the cartridge into
the water quick enough when
it exploded blowing off both
aanis, tearing open his chest
and literally shattering his
head.
Before silver was demonetise
in 1871 cotton sold at 20 cents a
pound. Other causes have dou¬
btless operated to reduce the
price of the staple, but the de¬
preciation of silver was also a
factor in working that end.
The Georgia Press Association is
not a political organization but is
formed solely for the purpose of mu¬
tual benefit the improvement and ad
vancememt of the press in this State,
and for social intercourse. Hence, at
its recent meeting in Atlanta, it sat
down on an attempt to ring in some
political resolutions and that too with
an emphasis that will deter any effort
of this character in future.—Enquirer

Congressman Crisp of Americus is
to go to New York where he is to be
the leading speaker at Tammany's
Fourth of july celebration. He will
spend several weeks east filling in'
vitations which he has accepted to
speak in several of the leading cities
of thatseciion.
A Sumter county farmer Mr. B. J.
lvouks who is also a school teacher has
been convicted of assault and battery
for ill treatim nt of a pupil whom he
punished severely. He was sentenc¬
ed to pay a fine of $500 or eight mon¬
ths on the chain gang. Although in
circumstances with several thousand
dollars in bank, Rooks says lie will
serve out the sentence on the chain
gang.
Johu S. Wise ought to make at
least one more speech before he dies.
His last was to laud Grant to the
skies. He should now expatiate upon
the virtues of Sheridan who boasted
that he had so completely devastated
the valley of Virginia that ‘‘a crow
flying over it would have to take his
rations along with him.” Johnuy
should not discriminate between these
two “Christian statesmen” and soldiers.
The beneficiaries of protection who
make such a howl about “pauper la¬
bor” at election times are driving
American workmen out out of the
coke regions of Pennsylvania and re¬
placing it with that same despised
“pauper labor.”
Hon. L. F. Livingston is waking

Livingston eanuaeses the state George
will be snowed under.

Is the Time
To purify your blood and fortify your system
against the debilitating effects of spring
weather. At no other season is the bitter
taste in the mouth more prominent, the breath
-k a | so offensive, the drowsy dizziness
vj IfijU' ] !j n so feeling frequent, prevalent. or that extreme Hood’s tired Sar
jj saparilla so is just the medicine to
purify the blood, cure sick headache, bilious¬
ness and overcome that tired feeling.
“I have been troubled a great deal with
headaeiie, had no appetite, no strength, and
felt as mean as any a ■ • r
one could, and be
about my work.
Since taking Hood’s
Sarsaparilla I have not had the headache, my
food has relished, and seemed to do me good,
and I have found myself growing stronger
every day.” M. A. Steinman, 10 Grand
Avenue, Grand Rapids, Mich.
Dyspepsia
Few people have suffered more severelj
from dyspepsia than Mr. E. A. McMahon, a
well known grocer of Staunton, Va. He says.
»• Before 1878 I was in excellent health, weigh
Ing over 200 pounds. In that year an ailment
developed into acute dyspepsia, and soon I
Was reduced to 162 pounds, suffering burning
Intense sensations In the stomach,
palpitation of the heart,
nausea, and indigestion.
I could not sleep, lost all
heart in my work, had fits of melancholia, and
for days at a time I would have welcomed
death. I became morose, sullen and irritable,
and for eight years life was a burden. 1 tried
many physicians and many remedies. One day
a workman employed by me suggested that
I take Miring Hood’s
Sarsa pa¬ villa, as
rt had cured his
wif e of dyspep
sia. I did so, and before taking the whole of
a bottle I began to feel like a new man. The
terrible pains to which I had been subjected,
ceased, the palpitation of the heart subsided,
my stomach became easier, nausea disap¬
peared, and my entire system began to
tone up. With returning 8 Years
strength came activity of
mind and body. Before
the fifth bottle was taken
I had regained my former weight aud natural
condition. I am today well aud I ascribe it
to taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.”
N. B. If you decide to take Hood’s Sarsa¬
parilla do not be induced to buy any other.
