DEMOCRACY IN
THE SADDLE.
Many Counties Come Back into
Line. The Majorities
Overwhelming.
NEW PARTY SERVES ITS PURPOSE.
The complete returns from
the 137 counties in the January
election, shows that the state
has gone overwhelmingly demo¬
cratic. The elections were,
perhaps, the fairest and hardest
faught of any since the war and
the result shows that the grand
principles of true democracy,
safely and firmly lodged in the
heart of the people of our dear
old state. There have been
many good men -who have the
principles of democracy , led off
into the new populist party be¬
cause they were fed to believe
that democratic princeples woud
be more rapidly carried by it.
Again bad men had brought the
party into bad repute and many
good men wery disgusted. But
they have become more disgust¬
ed with some of the “dark” do
ings and wild schemes of some
populist leaders and they have
come back to the old party and
will use their best efforts to
make it as clean and pure as it
should be. There is no doubt,
but that the populist movement
has done good—all the good it
can do—and it is now time to
drop it and for the people of the
state to come together again a
gainst the common enemy of
the south—protective, class
legislating republicanism,
Every county in the congres¬
sional district goes democratic.
Walton, by 1,000, DeKalb by
700, Douglass by four hundred,
Campbell by over 200—the two
last counties having gone pop
ulist bffore. Henry gives 700
democratic, Gwinnett changes
2 r '0 pofulist to 6«0 demo
cratic; Carroll, Mernwethei,
Hall, Bartow and many other
counties that were populist have
come back to democracy by ma
inu fip^ vnifnim ‘ ^ ° from 300 to
000. In T some counties like rl Gai- /->
roll ° the change t is more than a
thousand i vo es. The The democrat- democ *
ic party is better and stronger
in Georgia to day than at any
time of its existence.

CONYERS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY JAN. 9 1895.
The Russian Thistle.
A Scourge to Agriculture.
In 18‘.)1 the Russian thistles
was first reported to the Depart¬
ment of Agricu’turo. Described
as a species or tli; caeius, seien
tiffiic investigation skowedthat it
was neither a thistle nora cactus,
but a variety cf common saltvort
(Salsola kali tragus,) with the
habits of the tumbleweed of the
American plains.
This weed, which has become
the worst scourage that has ever
affiiicted agricuiture in the prai¬
rie States, was introduced in the
United States in flaxseed brought
from Russia aud sowed in Bon
hornrne County, South Bekota.
In 1892 it had caused damage a
mounting to several millions of
dollars.
Reports to the department in
November, 1893, showed all the
counties in South Dekota, east of
the Missourri River, and twenty
counties in North Dekota infes¬
ted by tho thistle. Its presence
was also reported from four places
west cf the Missouri, two coun¬
ties in Minnesota, three in Iowa
and four in Nebraska. The seed
was scattered from Denver to
Madison, Wis , and from the Red
River of the North into Kansas
on the south. The dry season of
1894 leaves a teritory of 200,000
square miles thoroughly infested
by this scourge and an area of
100,000 has felt its presence as a
destructive blight upon all giain
crops.
Owing to the drought over this
grain-growing regeon, no correct
estimate of actual damage by
Russian thistle can be formed.
In the Dekotas thousands of
fields of grain and flax that would
have yielded a partial crop were
abandoned, No harvester or
thrasher has been found to handle
a crop infested by this pest.
It clogs the machinery, fouls the
grain and renders fall plowing
imposible. The land must first
b) cleared of thistles before it can
bs plowed. If thistles are plow¬
ed under, even when partially
matured, they will spring more
thickly than ever even through
six inches of soil.
The treeless, wind-swept prai
rie g ta t es are the home of the
thistle. It is distributed by the
wind, which rolls the full grown

THE OLD CAFITjL
There is a richness of Georgia
p 'litical history associated with
the old capitol building recently
chstroyd l»y tire in Atlanta, It
comes into possession of the State
when the Reconstruction regime
was in the flash of its power, when
Rufus B. Bullock railed and H. I,
Kimball aod bis pals plundered.
And there was plunder too, such
a high carnival of robery as the
State never experienced before
or since, and which can never be
approximated, The old building
was always a costly home, aud
an unsightly one for the State.
It was Kimball’s ^scheme. He
projected an alleged opera house
but the stage lights never fell on
prima donna nor the giddy ballet.
Instead, shrewd and venal politi¬
cians and scheming demegogues
p’ayed their sorry parts, and the
people suffer' d. Kimball deci¬
ded that the building would be
better 0 a State capitol'.than an
opera house, and palmed it off on
the Legislature for an enormus
sum in the bonds which in those
days taxed the capacity of the
printing presses. About $100,000
in bonds were exchanged for the
property, whose vaiue is now esti¬
mated at $125,000. Thero was
legislative riot in the old building
when the foul bird of reconstruc¬
tion Hoped its wings aboul it and
brooded over the whole State.
It came to better uses when the
Old Democracy drove out the
rabbles, gorged as it was wftli
plunder, and the dishonored occu¬
pant of the executive offic * held
him forth in hot and guilty haste
to seek safety and immunity in
foreign lands.
While the old building was re¬
deemed under the splendid ad
m’nistration which the Democrat¬
ic party gave the State during
the last years of its occupancy,
there was a great feeling of relief
and satisfaction on the part of
the whole people when moving
day came, when Georgia set up
her lares and penates in the hand¬
some new capitol which, elected
whithin the appropriation, and
without the stealage of a dollar,
stands there now the pride of
Georgians and a monument to the
economy and honesty of the Dem¬
ocratic party.—Enquirier Sun.

AN OLD COLD.
Is Chronic Catarrh, the Worst Dis¬
eas* Known.
Tli'- fi st singe of catarrh is coin
rao'i v called catching cold. It may
begin in the head, nose, throat, or
lungs. Iu tho majority of cases no
attention is paid to a cold, therefoie
n ally half of the people have chron¬
ic catarrh iu some form. To neg¬
lect a cold is to invito catarrh.
The second stage of catarrh is
sometimes called and old cold. If
in tho head, there is roarnig, crack¬
ing in in the eats, periodical head¬
ache, and confusiou of the senses.
If in the nose, discharge, sneezing,
noisy breathing, and bad breath. In
the throat it produces enlarged ton¬
sils, hawking, sore throat, hoarseness
or wo k voice. When the catarrh
reach is the bronchial tubes and
lungs it produces cough, pain in
chest, (xpectoration, night sweats,
loss of tlesh and shortness of breath.
A cold in the head, which a sin -
gle bottle of Pe ru-na will cure,
soon becomes a case of chronic catar¬
rh, w liieh will require many bottles
to entirely cure- A sore throat,
which one bottle of Pe ru na wilt
cure, soon becomes chronic phary¬
ngitis or enlarged tonsils, which
will require many bottles. A slight
cough, which, without a vestige of
doub 1 , would soon disappear with
the UR6 of Pe-ru-na,bocomes chron¬
ic bronchitis, which requires a per¬
sistent use of Pe-ru na for some
time. There are a great many ca¬
ses of consumption each year due
direc ly to a ffeglect of coughs, colds
etc , which, if Pe-runa had been kept
in the house and used iciording to
direci ons, would have been prevent¬
ed.
For a free treatise on catarrh,

diseases of winter, send to the Pi -
