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.

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 °These f rom 20,000 to 200,000 se eds. balls bound over the prairies with a movement re sembleing that of a jack rabbit, hundreds of miles, leap i n o- over or breaking down fences B before the wind, or ^ S eriD I? property by t w accu aD mu l a ting in heaps of inflammable ma t er j a p Horses or cattle can no ^ be di iven across a field rank¬ ly grown up to thistles.

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.

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.
