Chronic Catarrh.
i After unusual delay’ summer ims come at
last, and now is the time for ill catarrh suf
i ferers to begin a. systematic rourse treat
: meat for this disease. The greatest diffi
culty in the way’ of treating chronic ca
tarrh is that the patient is so liable to catch
cold during the treatment, ami thus delay
a cure. The liability of this season of the
i year is, in a great measure, removed, and
j no one should neglect the opportunity to be
i given treatment.
Tlie proper way to begin treatment for
, chronic catarrh is to take a. tabiespoonful
of l’e-ru-na before each meal and at bed-
I time. This dose should be increased so that
I in one month the patient will lie taking two
■ tablespoonfuls at each dose. If not entirely

JirnGE HAMILTON M’ SHORTER TEN
DERS HIS RESIGNATION,
And Will Run for Congrc.sß in the Eighth
District —A Democratic Mass Meeting
in Augusta—Other Political News.
Judge Hamilton McWhorter has tendered
his resignation as judge of the northern
circuit and has entered the race for con-**
gress in the eighth district. **
The judge has written a letter to Gov
ernor Northen formally resigning, f ’
The action of Jmi McWhorter
no surprise to those who have watcW
the trend of political events in t ie eigW. ’
district. For some time Judge
friends have been i.: ging him to make tF ’
race for congress, but fi.’ w s unwilling * ,s< .
take any steps toward i' . so until 7t w ’ 1
could wind up the business of tne circuir w
which he has done. '®
This action gives Governor Northen an
other judge to appoint and the active ap
plicants for the position are two very well
known Georgians, Hon. John P. Shannon,
of Elberton, and Hon. Seaborn Reese, of
Hancock.
Judge Hamilton McWhorter submitted his
resignation as judge of tlie northern cir
cuit Thursday morning, the resignation to
take effect the Ist of July. "I lay down my
duties as judge with many feelings of
sincere regret," said Judge -McWhorter yes
terday afternoon, “for my relations with
the people of the circuit and with the law
yers have been at all times the pleasantest,
ft is a fact to which 1 point with a great
deal of pride,” said he, “that in my several
years on the bench 1 have never found it
necessary to fine a lawyer, any court offi
cer or any citizen for any breach of the
rules of the court, and it is a pleasure for
me to know that my relations with the
members of the bar throughout the ciicuit
have been universally pleasant. As I have
announced, 1 have entertained the contest
for congress in the eighth district. 1 pro
pose to make an active canvass, and be
lieve 1 shall be successful; but, just now,
I do not care to say anything about the
campaign.”
It Is Judge Reese.
It is now Hon. Seaborn Reese, judge of
the northern judicial circuit of Georgia.
Saturday morning Governor Northern ap
pointed Judge Reese to the vacancy created
by the resignation of lion. Hamilton Mc-
Whorter and the friendly contest which
has been waged between the friends of the
gentlemen who aspired to this highly hon
orable position was at an end.
Judge Reese is very heartily congratulat
ed by his friends in Atlanta upon his ap
pointment and tio congratulations were
heartier than those of Hon. John Shannon,
of Elbert, who was the other prominent
aspirant for the position.

Augusta, Ga., June 12.—(Special.)—At a
democratic mass meeting held at noon to
day, lion. William 11. Fleming, John A

C. O. McLaughlin, T. W. Alexander and
M. J. McAuliffe were elected delegates to
the senatorial convention, to be held in
Augusta on June 20th for the purpose ol
nominating a democratic senator tor the
eighteenth senatorial district.
Hon. Bryan Cumming, of Augusta, was
endorsed for senator.
Mr. Dan Kerr asked permission to intro
duce the following:
“Believing that it is the earnest desire
of this county and cß'cuit that lion. Henry
C. Roney, judge of the Augusta circuit,
shculd be his own successor, we respectfully

Judge W. W. Montgomery offered the
following:
"Resolved, by the democratic party of
Richmond county, Georgia, in mass meet
ing assembled, this June 12, 1894, That wo
heartily endorse the present democratic
national administration, and we especially
approve the financial policy of President
Cleveland so far as up to this date it has
been developed.”
Mr. Carrol) moved to lay the motion on
the table, which was vociferously adopted,
there being but few dissenting voices.
Dr. I. S. Hopkins, of Atlanta, delivered a
very interesting address to the alumnae
and graduating class of the Tubman High
school this morning His subject was
“Spiritual Beauty,” and, though he did not
condemn a love of physical beauty as
vanity of vanities, he showed how much
more desirable was the beauty of soul as it
refined and glorified all tilings that it came
in contact with.
Tli<- Souihwt stern railroad case, it seems,
instead of being near an end, has just
been begun. This afternoon a. telegram
was received in Augusta from Frank H.
Miller, who is in New Orleans, saying he
has succeeded in securing a rehearing ot
the case. This means that the case goes
to the United States supreme court. The
court at New Orleans was divided. two
of the justices wished to sustain Justice
Jackson’s ruling, but Judge Pardee wished
to overrule Justice Jackson. No decision
was written or delivered before, Mr. Millet
securing tlie reopening of the case.
A barrel of whisky exploded in Bryant &
Glantcn’s Broadway barroom and caused a
big fire. The saloon was insured for $3,000.
which will cover tlie loss.
Adolph Rosenfeld and William Venpelt
were examined and admitted to the bar
this afternoon.
POLITICS IN GEORGIA.
The Lithonia New Era seconds The Law
renceville News’s nomination of Hon. C.
11. Brand for the senate presidency.
The Thomasville Advertiser sizes it up
this way:
“We are for Turner for the senate, and
yet we think him rather greedy.”
“Whoever the democratic nominee may
be for governor,” says The Barnesville Ga
zette, “he must be elected. This is no
time to make democratic success uncer
tain.” tii ...»
The Brunswick Advertiser’s remark that
“Senator I’at XValsh has done for Georgia
in the ingenious method of placing her
wonderful wealth of resources before the
country, in his tariff speech, more. than
many congressmen have done in a lifetime,"
is being widely quoted and heartily en
dorsed by the Georgia press.
The democratic papers of the seventh dis
trict seem to be almost a unit in their
support of Judge Maddox for re-election.
Speaking of Catoosa, The Ringgold, New *
South says: “John W. .Maddox can rest
assured that he will receive almost the
unanimous support of this county lor con
gress.”
~The editor of The Tifton Gazette is pre
paring to take his coat off. “The individ
ual-newspaper, clerical or otherwise —wh<
thinks The Gazette is going to be a laggard
in the coining political campaign,’’ says
he. “is fishing for a disappointment. It is
already in the front rank, but reserving
fire until it can see the whites of the ene
mies’ eyes.” ■
The Telfair Enterprise praises Speaker
Crisp for his devotion to the interests of
his party. “Judge Crisp,” it says, “is go
ing to do his duty to his party, no matter
what becomes of his personal ambition to
go to the United States senate. He has
promised to make speeches in the Missouri
campaign and is booked for campaign work
in other states as well.”
Tlie Augusta Herald doesn’t believe in the
possibility of a dark horse in this guber
natorial campaign. Commenting on a
rumor of that nature, The Herald says:
“It is too late, now, lor a third man. U
General Evans can nomination,
which his friends and su ; irters still hope,
he will have earned | glsupport of tlie
party. If Mr. AUs*> s > as h * s f r * en( l s
now positively ', he is entitled
to the victorv’ ar *y su ml >arrassing inter

torial distil’t is all right.’’
The democrats of Madison county, in
mass meeting, adopted resolutions heartily
endorsing Hon. John T. Strickland, of
Athens, for judge of tlie western circuit.
Mr. Strickland formerly lived in Madison,
and, referring to this fact, the resolutions
request the representative and senator ol
that county to use all honorable means
to secure his election, aid say: “Me take
pleasure in endorsing him and in commend
ing him to tlie senators and represt ntatives
of the various districts and counties of
the slate, as a man of line moral charac
ter and legal attainments, and eminently
fitted in every way to be judge of his
circuit.”
The Jasper Herald, sizing up the ninth
district situation, says:
“Hon. F. C. Tate has been endorsed by
every county in the ninth district that has
held any kind of mass meeting. As we
have said all the time, he will have no op
position for the nomination of his party.
He has been so faithful to every trust im
posed, and been so earnest in supporting
the measures that are of most benefit to
the people of his district, that no one de
sires to oppose him for the nomination. At
present it looks as if Hon. Thomas E.
Winn, of Gwimv tt, or J. Newt Twitty, of
Jackson, will be the third party nominee,
but the third party nomination is not equiv
alent to an election by any means.”
The Telfair Enterprise is one paper in
the eleventh district which does not seem
to be very enthusiastic on the idea, of Judge
Turner for the senate. That paper, dis
cussing the situation, says:
"Hon. H. G. Turner makes us a fine
congressman—as good as we wish, and bet
ter, perhaps, than we could get just now;
so we cannot see why the necessity of pro
moting him to the senate unless personal
glory be our aim. If this is the object, no
personal aggrandizement is worth the sac
rifice of the public weal. We cannot think
Mr. Turner willing to leave that field in
which his services are worth most to his
countrymen. He is too grand and self
sacrificing a man, in our judgment.”
The Augusta Evening Herald professes
to have found the “real inside history”
of General Gordon’s declination to make a
series of speeches through the state in be
half of General Evans. It declares that
General Gordon hail fully determined to
make these speeches, and had gone on to
*'Wi.-hiunton expecting to return in it tew
anil make the first at Macon. But,
i so declares The Herald, he found on his
arrival at the national capital a telegram,
of which this is a copy:
“1 see it stated that you are to take the
stump for my opponent, General Evans.
When you were being fought by I’at Cal
houn for the United States senate 1 worked
fir you night and day, and I did more
than any other man to elect you. If you
are ungrateful enough now to try to beat
me I put you on notice that you shall hear
from me. If you keep your engagement at
Macon I shall be there to meet you, from
the stage if you will, from the audience it
1 must. Dußignon will meet you at Savan
lah. Friends of mine will also meet you
at Griffin and wherever else you speak.
"W. Y. ATKINSON.”
“After General Gordon read this tele
gram.’’ says The Herald, “he came to the
•cnclusion that the situation in Georgia was
not such as to warrant his interference,
and he canceled his engagements. There
would certainly have been a lively tilt had
Mr. Atkinson challenged General Gordon to
joint debate.”
Congressman Moses has addressed an
■pen letter to the voters of Heard county,
;n which he calls attention to the executive
committee’s action in fixing the convention
■or the Bth of August, adding that in no
other district where there is a contest has
so early a date been fixed for the conven
tion. He adds that he had desired to come
home and give an account of his steward
ship, but the pending contests on the in
come tax and the anti-option bill make it
necessary for him to be in Washington.
“While we have been humiliated by shame
full absenteeism,” he writes, “the Georgia
lelegation has made the highest average
attendance.”
Speaking for himself, Colonel Moses says:
“J have been here to vote, and have voted
as 1 believe you would have voted could
you have been here in person. For instance,
i voted and spoke against the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law. I voted for
silver at every stage. 1 voted for the Wil
son bill and the bill to tax incomes. 1
i ave voted upon all questions in accordance
with the demands of your platform.’’
He refers to his efforts in behalf of the
improvements in the Chattahoochee, the
J 5.000, started last year and the $5,000 addi
tional this year. As chairman of the com
mittee on pensions, he has been instru
mental in bringing - about the passage of an
act which has already' brought $1,200,000 to
die south, $350,000 to Georgia, and $70,000 of
that to the fourth district. He concludes
with this evidence of his true democracy:
“Heard county was the first to endorse
me, and has since supported me. If by
your votes you say 1 have been faithful
and diligent in your service, and you desire
me to again represent you. I shall feel
more than grateful, and will pledge renewed
devotion to your interests. If, however,
the people determine that another can

SOMETHING IS WRONG
AND ARP IS BOTHERED ABOUT IT
UNTIL HE GETS THE BLUES,
And Tries Work in the Garden—He Talks
About Politics and XX’onder Whether
Are We Drifting.
A man can read and ruminate until he
feels discouraged. Then is the time to get
up arid go in the garden and work awhile.
It is said that when King Ahasuerus got
so awful mad with Haman he walked out
in the garden to let ills choler down. 1
reckon he took a hoe and slashed down the
weeds and felt better. I've been staking
up my tomato vines this evening ami got
all in a sweat of perspiration and feel bet
ter. There is nobody at home, for my
wife has gone to tiie missionary and the
girls are Hying around trying to get up a
Presbyterian festival to make some money
to pay for the vocalion and I was charged
to look after the grandchild. That is all
right. I had rather look after her than do
anything; but soon after my family de
parted a lot of nice little girls came here
visiting and I had five to look after and
help to amuse. They played base and hide
and seek and set a little table and play Bl
dinner and asked the blessing and nursed
the dolls and swung each other and then
played church and had a baptizing, and
they amused me more than I did them.
Then some nice ladies called and dident
leave their cards and go off, like most
ladies do, but they stayed and made me a
visit and so. altogether, I had a pretty
good time and forgot ail about the political
troubles and the strikes that now agitate
the country. Happy children and charming
ladies and work in the garden beats coco
cola or any other medicine.
But still one can’t help being concerned
and perplexed about many things that are
going on. I was dining the other day at
Durand’s and a talking man whom I dident
know ventilated iiis thoughts in an audible
manner. He said: “I’ve got nothing against
General Evans, of course—nobody has, but
I tell you that the war has been over
for thirty years, and this old soldier’s rack
et has got to stop and we Atkinson boys
are going to stop it. We who were not old
enough to go into the war have been Kept
in the background long enough. Let the
old brigadiers have a rest and let the
young men have a chance. We havent had
a governor nor a United States senator nor
a statehouse officer nor hardly a member
of congress since the war except he was a
general or a colonel in the war. Even the
county offices are filled with old soldiers
and it is time to call a halt.”
Well, I never said anything, of course, but
it was a revelation to me to hear a man
talk that way in public. I know that some
army officers have occasionally got in the
way of other men, who were better quali
fied, but not often. As a general
rule a man who rose to be a
brigadier or a colonel in the army
was a man of force or character.
He was lit to command and was fit to
hold office, and it was right to reward him.
But I don’t believe that they have had
much preference over civilians in this state.
Ben Hill and Alec Stephens and Jenkins
and Johnson and Joe Brown and old Father
Barnett and Thompson Allan and a host
of other civilians have held high office since
the war. Dr. Felton defeated a one-armed
colonel in this district. If the count should
be made the army boys have r.o: played
the “old soldier” racket to extremes, nei
ther in national nor state offices. I think
they have been very modest in their de
mands. But still if tiie boys have made up
their minds to run tiie machine I think the
old soldiers will stand aside, for they are
now few and far between and are getting
old. Most of them have fought their last
battle, whether civil or military. Let them
depart in peace. That young man dies not
know am? never can know what these old
soldiers endured, for he said that his father
was not in the war; but I trust a rever
ence for them will be perpetuated in their
children from generation to generation.
There seems to be a feeling of unrest per
vading the country. I 1 ear men who are
conservative and intelligent expressing
their discouragement every day. They are
wearied with the long inaction of congress
and say boldly that they have lost confi
dence and lost respect for the governing
power. A few machine politicians may
jump up in the courthouse and whitewash
the administration, but if it was fairly
tested nine-tenths of the people would say
“No.” Outside of officeholders and office
seekers I venture to say that not a hun
dred men can b found in any
county who will say -hat tbc-y
endorse the administration. Whether
it be right or wrong, the people
hold the administration responsible for the
paralyzed condition of the country. They
don’t stop to inquire into this man’s record
in congress or that man’s, but they hold all
responsible, for they know that the de
mocracy is in power. It is going to be a
hard matter to return any member of the
present congress, for the people are tired.
It looks to them as if a member who was
getting $5,000 or $6,000 salary had forgotten
tiie troubles of the people, and was only
concerned about getting- back to the public
crib. If congress does not act soon on the
tariff hili and settle it the democratic party
will lose its prestige and its votaries and
thousands will become populists or nothing.
This feeling of unrest is growing. Among
the laboring classes who are not farmers
it is intensifying and drift ng into strikes
and lawlessness. A few years ago strikes
were almost unknown in southern mines or
on southern roads, but now they are com
mon and the states have to guard the iron
works and the coal mines and the railroad
bridges with state troops. Idle, restless
men are wandering over the country, and
it looks like history is repeating its.-If from
away back, for the scriptures tell us that
when David lied from Saul and took refuge
in the cave of Adullum all who were in
distress and all who were in debt and all
who were discontented came to him. That
is where Coxey got his army. Deßardel
aben, the wealthy iron man of Alabama,
gave $3,000 to the state to have his property
guarcTeil. When the governor ordered out
tiie troops the First regiment raised S2OO
and gave it to the miners, and the Second
regiment raised S3OO for them. What does
that mean? And yet all of this
trouble might have been avoided if the dem
ocratic administration had stood square to
the Chicago platform. So far as the republi
cans are concerned I verily believe they
would wreck the country in or
der to wreck the democratic party and get
in power again, and it. does seem that it
would have been infinitely better to have let
the McKinley bill alone than to have tam
pered this long with a bill that if it is
ever passed will be neither hawk nor buz
zard. But congress had better do some
thing and do it quickly. 1 heard several
gentlemen say the other day that if a
Georgia member dared to come home to
mend his fences before the tariff bill was
passed he would never get back again. So
mote it be.
But if I keep on this line of thought I
will have to go in the garden again and let
my choler down. Wish 1 was a woman
awhile and was running the missionary or
getting up money for the vacation. The
ladies bought that beautiful music box
when tlie times were good and have to pay
for it when they are bad. but they will
do it, fur it makes delightful church music
’and the women will not give it up. They
expect to make SSO by a lawn party, and
some more at something else, and we lords
of creation have got to pay it, money or
no money. In the first place we have got
to furnish the cake and ice cream and the
bread and meat and pickles and all the et
ceteras, and then go to the frolic and buy
them back again, but this is woman’s way,
and, of course, it is all right. It would be
cheaper to us to subscribe the SSO. but they
know we won’t do it that way, and so they
make us do it another way. They give us
a frolic and make us pay for it. Blessings
on the women. As long as they are engaged
in sucii work they won’t hanker after fe
male suffrage. BILL ARP.

WHY SHEOHARMING
A Lady Tells a Very Graphic
Story.
WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH
There Is a Nice and Profitable Lesson for
Other Ladies In Iler Experience.
I know a lady, and a very charming per
son, who has had a very trying experience.
Like so many ladies who have peculiar
pains which they often do not understand,
occasional headaches, loss of appetite,
blues, bearing down sensations and such
troubles, she thought she was only suffer
ing from a cold, which perhaps would pass
away very soon, and so it did, but it re
turned in a short time even worse than be
fore. In this way she lived along for near
ly a year, when she suddenly discovered
that she was suffering from that greatest
of modern scourges. Bright’s diseases of
the kidneys.
Now. the great trouble with her, as with
so many other men and women, was that
she did not know what ailed her. Hfre is
what she says, in her own words:
“Despite the attendance of skilled phy
sicians, illness increased, and they
stated that another attack of my malady
would most assuredly prove fatal. It was
at this time, at the solicitation of friends,
that I decided to try a remedy of which I
had heard much and knew but little. I
confess I had little faith, becau-e I thought
that I was doomed, b'ut almost immedi
ately I felt an improvement, which con
tinued until I was finally restored to per
fect health, and I fee! that I owe my life
entirely to the use of Warner’s Safe Cure,
which alone took me from the depths of
misery and restored me to health. Now,
whenever I feel as though any of the
symptoms I then had are returning, I take
some of the Safe Cure, and immediately
feel better; and I must say that I now feel
as well as in my girlhood, and it is en
tirely due to this remedy.”
These are the words of Mrs. J. F. Beale,
who resides at 363 Lexington avenue. New
York. Hers is not an isolated experience.
It is precisely what hundreds of other
ladies have found true in their lives. It
shows that if women continue to suffer
and let the trials of life weigh them down
when they should be j a fill, they have onlv
themselves to blame. There is a means of
relief, of restoration. It is pure, it is safe,
it is a woman’s best friend. Bv its use
she can be enabled to withstand the ills
of life and secure both health and happi
ness.
