Gold Versus Life.
Men are at present risking
their lives for gold. There is a
stampede of eager, willing mar¬
tyrs to the inhospitable country
of the Klondyke, Many will
perish from cold and hunger.
Not one quarter of the people
who go there will ever return.
Not one-half of those who do
return will return any richei
than they went. They will not
only endanger their health, but
their lives, for the sake of gold.
And yet everybody says that
health is more precious than
gold. The thing which restores
health is, therefore, more pre¬
cious than gold. Pe-ru-na re¬
stores health, cures all forms of
weakness, all forms and stages
of catarrh, builds up broken
down constitutions, brings new
life back to all those who have
become prematurely old. The
latest and best book ever writ¬
ten on the subject of female
diseases will bo sont free, to
women only, for a short time

This is a queer world. While

millionaire gamblers eutire con¬

PoliticH.
The people may want rest
from politics this year but what
they get and what they want
are two different things. The
different papers of the State
must have named at least twen¬
ty men who desire to succeed
Gov. Atkinson and yet, never a
word has been said of Hon. A.
O. Blalock, of the now famous
investigating committee, and
we are satisfied that he might
be added to the list without do¬
ing injustice to his political
feelings. Why his name should
have been overlooked after his
most valuable service to the
State is a question that shall
yet confront the average candi¬
date-maker to his mortification.
How can the dear people desire
rest from politics when such
political injustice is heaped up¬
on the faithful “watch-dog of
the treasury?” We hope some
influential politician will be¬
think himself and mention Mr.
Blalock in connection with this
high and honorable office.
The past month, despite the
plea that the people want
“rest,” has developed politics
galore, and many politicians and
seekers after office already have
their stakes set and will go
through the camgaign pulling
wires that they have been ar¬
ranging since the last election.
There is our young, aspiriBg
friend, Hon. Chas. I. Branan,
who has announced ready and
will “tussle” with Tom Cobb’s
“Colonel” for 5t.h District’s seat
in Congress, Many others are
being mentioned as likely to en¬
ter this contest and the “Colo¬
nel” will likely have his hands

full when the signal is given
for the start.
It is said that the Hon. Tom
Felder has an eye upon the
“Colonels” scalp and may assail
him at any time. In the mean¬
time, a rumor comes across
from Douglas that the indefati¬
gable campaigner, and inimita¬
ble stump speaker, Joe James,
will oppose the “Colonel.” All
of this is indicative of politics
and if one of the “Colonel’s”
friends should oppose him from
Walton county, the next con¬
gressional campaign in this dis¬
trict would be notable. The
only dead sure tning we can
mention at this distance is the
certainty tnat the “Colonel”
will lose this county if Col. Hale
enters the race.
Wo presume that there is
some talk in the counties rela¬
tive to legislative candidates.
At any rate such is the case in
Rockdale and we are not short
on prospective candidates. It
is now understood that Hon
R. H. Cannon will ask lo be en
dorsed. He is our present rep¬
resentative and until a few days
ago it was understood that lie
would not ask a re-election
Maj. E. IT. Almand and Col. J.
R. Maddox have been consider¬
ed in the race, while some of
his friends think that lion. A.
J. Smith should be given anoth¬
er term. Dr. C. H. Turner has
been asked to make tho race
and a prominent citizen of the
Cut-off has been mentioned.
We will not bo short on leg¬
islative candidates, and though
the people want a rest front
politics this year, yet there is a
fair prospect for an abundanct
of political talk and speculation
from this time on.
Since we published Franklin's
letter, declaring his iuteution to
>nd his life by starving himself
to death before court convened,
it is to be supposed that our
readers would like to know how
'he prisoner is succeeding with
his task. We inquired of Sher¬
iff Austin concerning him and
he informs us that he is enjoy¬
ing fair health and a strong ap¬
petite and disposes of all the
food placed before him with a
keen relish, He dances and
sings for the amusement of him¬
self and fellow-prisoners and
seems very little concerned at
the prospect of “going up’
for appropriating another’s
horse and buggy .
He has, presumably abaudou
sd tho idea of self destruction
