SATURDAY, July 11 1891.
The Weekly Press will go an ex
cursion to Washington Cify and New
York, leaving Atlanta on the even
ing of the 14tn.
The negro is meeting with a warm
reeepli.su out in the state of Wash¬
ington where he has to fight his way
under guard to the place of his labors.
If he wants tbe republicans to love
him he must stay among the white
people of the South.
The Federal office-holders are
naturally mostly in favor of Mr- Har
rison’s renomination; but what about
the republicans who failed to get the
offices.
If you wish to remain in office
just ‘‘line” the Harrison machine.
Commissioner of Pensions Raum
could if he was so disposed confirm
tbe accuracy of this statement.
Changing the form of statement
issue [1 by the Treasury department
will e ither fool the people nor put
the much needed cash in the Treaury
as the administration will out before
long.
Members of Mr. Harrison’s cabi¬
net have found it necessury to do
a good deal of explaining in connec¬
tion with the wrecked Philadelphia
banks and we regret to say that thier
explanations have not been of an ex.
planatory nature as ono might have
desired; but perhaps we expect too
much.
The fact that Alabama during the
last census year produced more iron
than Pennsylvahia will not only be
news but it will set people to think¬
ing There has been no falling off in
Pennsylvania’s production but the
development of the resources of Ala¬
bama seem to have been something
extraordinary.
Chauncy Dopews trial and acquittal
by a New York jury for haring as a
railroad director caused the death of
several railroad employes by failing
to have the cars properly equipped
for safety seems to have given him a
boom for the republican gubernato¬
rial nomiurtiou in that State. What
n queer lot these republicans are
anyway. It would, of course, have
been foolish in these days of pur
chaseable wen to have expected that
Depew and his miliouaire associates
would be convicted; because he es¬
caped going to prison furnishes no
good reason why he should be honor¬
ed by being nominated for the gov¬
ernorship of a great Shite. The fact
that the nomination will be but an
empty honor does not alter the case.
Although the administration had an
excellent opportunity to define its
position on the question of continuing
the coinage of the standard silver
dollar it declined to accept it, and has
dimed and straddled the fence on the
question by deciding that, owing to
work having been provided for the
mints for about four months from
July 1, by acts of the last Congress
providing for the recoinage of the
trade dollar- bullion and the old and
abraded fractronal silver coin on hand,
the question is not now a practical
one. It might just as well have been
honest enough to have said “owing
to its probable effect in the important
campaigns in Ohio, Iowa, New York,
and elsewhere it is deemed expedient
to defer action upon this matter un¬
til it is too late for it to injure repub¬
lican prospects” for that is just the
construction that all unprejediced
yroters will put upon its oowardly
ion.
The encampment fund of
£25,000 gave out at the end of
the third week. The companies
were swelled to immense pro¬
portions just at encampment
time, many, it is said, attend¬
ing in each company who were
not enlisted in the service of the
state. It is now estimated that
if only the soldiers enlisted had
have gone to camp the funds
would have been sufficient to
have paid the fourth week of
the encampment. The estimate
was made on a basis of about
thirty to the company, but they
all run from forty to sixty.
There is now a committee of
the legislature investigating the
trouble of the shortage.
In personally lauching his
presidential boom Senator (Jul
lom has given evidence that he
thinks his facial resemblace to
Abraham Lincoln ought to be
as good political capital as that
furnished by being the grand¬
son of a former President.
Secretary Husk has again started
upon its travels the periodical
“chestnut,, that France and Ger¬
many have decided to remove the
restrictions upon the importation of
American dressed pork.
John W. Mackay one of the Bo¬
nanza Kings is said to be interested
in the laying of a cable between Bra¬
zil and the United States and he has
employed Co). Robert G. Ingersoll
who only works tor big fees to se¬
cure the suppost of the administras
tion for a scheme by which it is
hoped to secure a large subsidy from
the United States for the proposed
cable Mr. Mackay seems to have
forgotten that the democratic party
which controls the House of Repre¬
sentatives is opposed to Govern'*
ment subsidies of any kind. Mr.
Mackay is the reputed owner of
many millions of dollars if he thinks
a cable to Brazil would be a good
investment why does bo not go
ahead and lay it with hi3 own mon¬
ey?
That’s a very pretty summer story
which alleges that if Mr. Harrison
is called upon to veto a free coinage
bill next winter he will decline to
again be a candidate for President,
because he knows that he would not
receive the votes of those republicans
who favor free coinage but it lacks
the elements of plausibility if Mr.
Harrison is not the candidate of his
party the only reason will be that
the party will not let him.

FROM INDIAN TERRITORY.
Velma I T., Jult 1, 1891.
Dear old Solid South: I again at¬
tempt to write you a letter as I prom¬
ised the readers I would keep them
posted in the Indian troubles in this
country. If you remember I wrote
you in my last letter that the Indian
government was proposing to eject
the intruders from this country.
Well, the work has begun and the
United States is assisting in the work
but I understand the number of in¬
truders is small and it looks as if the
citizens had violated the law as well
as the non-citizen, for they are being
arrested and tried before their tribu^
nal for employing white people illegal¬
ly. The work begun about forty
miles north-west of this place and
they are traveling in an easterly di¬
rection. They are about thirty miles
from here at this time though I don’t
know W’hich way they intend going.
They establish headquarters at differ¬
ent places and hold council with Leo
Bennett United States Indian agent
acting as judge. He has a company
of troops and the Indicn authorities
have their militia and the governor.
Of course we can’t tell, though I don’t
think the trouble will amount to any¬
thing serious after all.
The crop prospect is very good at
present chough we have had no rain
for two weeks. The wheat crop is
very good—the yield being as much
as twenty bushels per acre, and the
oat crop is the finest I ever saw.
This climate and soil are eepecialy
adapted to the growth of Irish pota¬
toes. I have never witnessed any¬
thing like the present crop j ust to
show you and to prove to you what
they will do I give you a bit of my
experience. 1 am not farming any at
all though I have just one acre in
garden, which my hired man culti¬
vates. This season I had him to
plant £ of the garden in potatoes.
He planted J bushel of seed and they
grew fine and he gathered them the
first day of this Tnonth and be got
forty bushels of potatoes. Now this
is a sample of the yield. I don’t
think it can be beat this side of the
Emerald Isle.
Later we understand that the
militia and troops have gone into
camps about 15 miles from this place.
As the work of ejectment goes on I
will keep the readers of The Solid
South posted.
May prosperity go hand in haud
with The Solid South and its read¬
ers is the wishes of a Georgian.
LA GRIPPE AGAIN.
DuriDg the epidemic of La Grippe
last season Dr. King’s New Discove¬
ry for Consumption Coughs and
coids proved to be the best remedy.
Reports from the many who used it
confirm this statement. They were
not only quickly relieved but the dis¬
ease left no bad after results. We
ask you to give this remedy a trial
and we guarantee that you will be
satisfied with results or the purchase
price will be refunded. It has no
equal in La Grippe or anj r Throat
Chest or Lung Trouble. Taial bot¬

That
■
Is experienced By almost everyone at this
season, and many people resort to Hood’s
Sarsaparilla to drive away the languor and
exhaustion. The blood, laden with impurities
which have been accumulating for months,
moves sluggishly through the veins, the mind
fails to think quickly, and the body is still
slower to respond.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Is just what i3 needed. Eead what is said by
Mr. C. Parmelee, 349 Bridge Street, Brooklyn,
N. Y.: “I take Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a
spring tonic, and 1 recommend it to all who
have that miserable tired feeling.”
“For years I was sick every spring, but last
year took Hood’s Sarsaparilla in February
and have not seen a sick day since.” G. W.
Sloajj-, Milton, Mass.
akes the
The marked benefit whieh people In run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hood’s Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine “ makes the weak
strong.” It doe3 not act like a stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hood’s Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel¬
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.
Fagged Out
“Last spring I was completely fagged out.
My strength left me and I felt sick and mis¬
erable all the time, so that I could hardly
attend to my business. I took one bottle of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and it cured me. There
is nothing like it.” B. C. Begole, Editor
Enterprise, Belleville, Mich.
“I derived very much benefit from Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, which I took for general debility.
It built me right up, and gave me an excel¬
lent appetite.” Ed. Jenkins, Mt. Savage, Md.

parilla do not be induced to buy anything else
instead. Insist upon having
