There will be a State silver
convention at Griffin, Ga., on
the 18th of July.
The Dalton Argus made a mis
take last week in crediting a
paragraph from The Weekly to
The Banner.
A game of baseball was play¬
ed last Sunday in Memphis.
The police were expected to pull
the Sabbath breakers, but did
not. The violation of the Sab¬
bath should not thus be colera
ted, much less patronized.
At the bankers’ convention in
Brunswick last week a resolu¬
tion was passed favoring the re
peal ot the ten per cent, tax on
State banks, and the establish¬
ment of banks iu the State with
the best and surest safeguards.
Dr. 8. G. Hillyer, who is 86
years old, preached a most ex¬
cellent sermon at the first Bap¬
tist church in Atlanta on last
Sunday, ltisvery rare that one
so old is able to do the work so
well as others who are much
younger.
We have not seen any of it in
the Soutli, but we learn that far-,
fcher North Sunday schools are
organized into military compa¬
nies, with uniforms and imita
tiou guns. This is an outrage
which should be cheeked. It it
very much like rei ving the dev
il under the livery of heaven
If the South fails to preserve the
purity of politics and religion tliis
country is gone.
The Enquirer-Sun of Sunday,
the 16th, has a sensible article
on the farce of silver conven¬
tions. lie might have added gold
conventions, also, What can
tlnse conventions accomplish V
Nothing ; except to agitate the
miuds of the common people
who care nothing for the speech
os of politicians or the deliver
ances of conventions. Thefiuan
cial question will regulate itself
when business revives, and good
prices for cotton are paid. Ihe
country will again flemish as a
green bay tree. Everybody will
be unhampered, and will pursue
their usual avocations with en
ergy, zeal aud happiness.
At a “free silver" convention
in Memphis last week Rev. L.
H. Estes buckled down to busi
ness by offering up a “free sil
ver prayer” at the ratio of 1(>
words to one “amen: i” Shonld
the brother chance to reach
land where old Elijah went, he
will probably call for a “free sil
ver” harp that shall be on a par
ity with “them goldeu slippers'’
at a ratio of 16 to 1.
silver harps on the golden
streets of the New Jerusalem
might be a good thing, but we
can’t see it that way. Unlimit
ed free silver by this country
alone might bring posperity
the people, but we dont believe
a word of it.—Uoviugtou Enter

Wt n last Sabbath Gov. Atkinson was taken very suddenly ill.
Ho was nigh unto death’s door for several hours. He was
better and worse alternately until Monday evening when the at¬
tending physicians determined upon an operation. It was a haz¬
ardous undertaking, yet it was considered death without it. The
Governor made every preparation for death before the operation
w’as performed, and said, “I don't want to die, hut if I must lam
as ready to face my fate as any man ever was.” The operation,
which was for appendicitis, came very near proving fatal, but at
last accounts the Governor was improving

the case is rather gloomy for

Au Indiana man named Over

FROM DR. L. A. LEE.
Two or three men in Conyers,
in order to injure my reputation
ana my father’s business have
circulated a false report to the
effect that I am a habitual
drunkard. As long as the ru¬
mor was confined to Conyers it
was ridiculed as being too ab¬
surd to dignity with a denial,
but these parties having learned
that a!l the best people of Con¬
yers are my friends, and that
they cannot injure me here*
have changed their field of ope
lations, and are now circulating
these falsehoods among the far¬
mers. If I have an enemy liv
ing in the country I do not know
it. The farmers of Rockdale and
aujoining counties are my best
friends, and I greatly appreciate
confidence and friendship,
;lU( j I trust they will not lend a
listening ear to these scandal
mongers. I have overworked
myse if endeavoring to pay for a
home and furniture. I have lost
my health, and had to give up
my home, but I am not going
to part with my good name
without a protest. I would like
for the public to read the foilow
iug letters from a few of my
friends. I could publish a great
many more, but will trouble the
public with only a few from gen
tleuien who know more about,
me tnan others. All of these
letters are from high-toned, up¬
right, honorable gentlemen,who
would not stoop to tell a false -
hood foi love or money. They
are all well known, and there is
not a man, woman or child,
white or black, in Rockdale and
adjoining counties who would
for a moment doubt their verac¬
ity. Very respectfully,
Lewis A. Lee.

since lie was a small boy. 1 have been
buyiug all of my drugs at the drug store
of Dr. W. H. Dee for twenty or thirty
years; (luring all that time I saw Dr.
L. A. Lee almost daily, ami frequently
four or five times a day ami often at va¬
rious hours of the night except when
he wag away from Conyers, and I can
truthfully say I never saw him at any
time under the influence of whiskey or
any other kind of stimulant;or narcot¬
ics. 1 have always found Lewis to be a
moral, honorable, truthful and perfect
gentleman. Since I flrst became ac¬
quainted with him he attended and
graduated in a business college, and af¬
terwards graduated in a medical college,
and practiced medicine for several years
in Luwrenceville, Ga., afterwards was
in the drug business in Atlanta autl Ath
ens. During those years I saw him on¬
ly at rare intervals, but as far as I have
been able to ascertain bis life away from
Conyers was the same as here—above
reproach. C. 11. Turner, M. D.
FROM I)R. J. T. KOHSKR.
Conyers, Ga., May 10th, 1895.
1 have been trading at the drug store
of Dr. W. H. Lee about twenty years,
and during that time there has scarcely
been a day except Sunday that I have
not been in Dr. Lee’s drug store, and
frequently several times a day. 1 have
seen a great tied of Dr. Lends A. Lee,
iu fact, 1 have seen him nearly every
time I have been in the drug store, ex¬
cept when he was away from Conyers,
and 1 wish to fay if he is a habitual
drunkard he is the most attentive man
to business and the most competent
druggist to be a habitual drunkard that
I ever saw, l hereby certify t> the fact
that he is not a habitual drunkard, nor
a drunkard In any sense of the term. 1
have always considered Dr. Lewis A.
Lee an honest, upright gentleman..

1 have known Dr. Lewis A. Lee for a
number of years, and know him to be a
hightor.ed, honorable gentleman. For
the past seven years I have been thrown
with him at his place of business almost
dailj, and in a business way he is neat
courteous, polite, straight forward and
exceptionally attentive, I have never
seen him intoxicated.

FROM MR, J. A. LIFSEY.
Conyers, Ga., May 11th, 1895.
In copartnership with Mr. A. J.
Smith I rented an office in the drug
store of Drs. W. II. Lee & Son from
September, 1892, to January. 1895. At
the latter date Mr. Smith and I dissolv¬
ed, and I have since then up to the pros
ent been renting the same office from
Dr. W. H. Lee. During this period of
over two years I have seen and talked
with Dr. L. A. Lee constantly, both
day and night, and I most positively af¬
firm that l have never seen him under
tire influence of stimulants, nor did J
ever see him when I thought he had
taken a drink. 1 know Dr. L. A. Lee to
be an upright, honorable gentleman,
pleasant and affable in all of his deal¬
ings. Having conducted my business
in the same room with him for several
years I believe if he had not conducted
himself properly 1 would have known

Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher’s prescription for Infants
an<I Children. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor
other Narcotic substance. It is a harmless substitute
for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, and Castor Oil.
It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years’ use by
Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays
feverishness. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves
teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency.
Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas¬
toria is the Children’s Panacea—the Mother’s Friend.
Castoria.
“ Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil¬
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children.”
Dr. G. C. Osgood,
Lowell. Mass.
_
” Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
sending them to premature graves.”

& Son from May 9th, 1894 to Jany. 1st,
1895. During that time I saw Dr. L.
A. Leo very nearly every flay, except
when he was away for about a month
on his bridal tour. 1 had long and fre¬
quent conversations with him. and I
never saw him when i thought he was
at all under the influence of stimulants
of any kind. I further state that if he
ever took a drink during my stay in the
drug store, he gave no evidence of the
fact by word or deed. I further state
that I boarded at the Commercial Hotel
about two months while Dr. L. A. Lee
was bearding there, and i have seen
him nearly every day since leaving the
hotel, and frequently at night, and at
no time have I seen him under the in¬
fluence of stimulants. I consider Dr.
L. A. Lee an honest, moral, upright
gentleman. W. J. Freeman.
FROM IION. ANDREW J. SMITH.
Conyers, Ga., May lltli, 1895.
This is to certify that Mr. J, A. Lif
sey and I rented an office in the drug
store owned and run by Dr. IV . H. Lee
& Son, for two years, from Sept. 1892,
to Sept. 1894. During that period I
saw and talked with Dr. Lewis A. Lee
constantly, ind have seen and talked
with him frequently since S' pt. 1891, to
thepre'iert time; and I can say that 1
have never seen him under the influ¬
ence of stimlants, neither have I ever
seen him take a drink. I have always
found Dr. L. A. Lee truthful, straight
forward and honest in all of his dealing
with me, which has been for a dozen or
more years. His moral character as far
as I know or have any reason to believe
is correct. A. J, Smith.
FROM MR. CHARLES K. GAILEY.
Conyers, Ga., May 10th, 1895.
This is to certify that I have been
clerking for Drs, \V. H, Lee & Son
since July 30th,1888, nearly seven years,
and during all that time Dr. L . A. Lee
and I have never had a cross woTd with
each other. Dr. Lewis has never spok¬
en to me unkindly, but has treated me
with all the consideration possible. I
have always found him truthful, open,
hones: and reliable in every transaction
I have never known him to take undue
advantage of a friend or customer, and
have never known him to be gniity of a
dishonorable act. 1 believe that any
person disposed to act half way right
could live with him on amicable terms.
During the six years and ten months
that 1 have been closely and intimately
associated with Dr. L. A. Lee I have
never seen him take a drink of spirits or
stimulants of any kind. The accusation
brought against Dr. L. A. Lee to the
effect that he is a drunkard I denounce
as false. Chas K. Gailey,

“ Castoria is so well adapted to children that
I recommend it as superior to any prescription
known to me.”

“ Our physicians in the children’s depart¬
ment have spoken highly of their experi¬
ence in their outside practice with Castoria,
and although we only have among our
medical supplies what is known as regular
products, yet we are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it.”
