A Great Roast!
Over a ton of Arbuckles’ Ariosa
Coffee is roasted at a time, in a large
revolving cylinder, which drops the
coffee through heat again and again
until each bean is uniformly roasted.
No other coffee is in suffi
cient demand to afford such
scientific and perfect prepara-,
tion.
The sales of Arbuckles' Ariosa
Coffee exceed the sales of all others
packaged coffees combined, and this
scientific roasting," which no other
coffee can afford, by its very magni
tude, reduces our cost to a minimum,
and enables us, with our other advant
ages, to give better value in Arbuckles'
Ariosa Coffee than is possible for any
one else.
Arbuckles* Ariosa Coffee is
the cheapest good coffee in the
world, and the best of all for
you.

FLOORJF HOUSE
Representative From Wal
ton Objects to Editorial,
“The Party.”
Hon. Hal G. Nowell, of Walton coun
ty, replied on the floor of the house
Friday morning to the editorial, “The
Purty," published In The Georgian on
Thursday afternoon, and which com
mented upon Mr. Nowell’s declaration
In the house that he "will stand firm
upon the principle of Democracy and
watch the passing away of a party.”
As a part of his remarks, Mr. Nowell
asked that the editorial be rend to the
house. There was no objection and
tho edltrtrla! was read.
Mr. Nowell then apologised for the
rending of the editorial, saying he
regretted giving It dignity by having
referred to It.
“It has developed that- In certain
editorial sanctums," said Mr. Nowell,
thnt disconnected sentences of repre
sentatives used In debate are taken up
and made the subject of editorial com
ment and scorn.
The sixteen of us who supported
the disfranchisement bill have been de
nominated as a variety of Democrats.
I hail rather be found with those six
teen strong and true Democrats than
to be classed with Bishop Turner and
others on the deportation theory.
"If he whose name files at the mast
head of tills paper wrote this edi
torial, then In what class Is he who
suggested that the leaders of Democ
racy nominate for the presidency the
man who Is the champion of Dr. Crum.
Minnie Cox and the hists of Booker
Washington?
"If It wns not he, but tho proprietor
who wrote it, then by what right does
he come Houth to read the riot act to
Democrats of Georgia?
"They have put In our mouth words
of scorn for Seab. Wright and Cov
Ington.
"Who was It who defended the nnti
lobbying bill Introduced by the gentle
man from Floyd, and who supported
the prohibition bill, and who was It
fat amended your anti-pass bill so
that It was made effective? It was
this ’variety of Democrats’ who are
now held up to scorn.
”1 again apologize for giving the
editorial dignity by having It read In
this house, but this Is my forum, and I
havo no other method of reply.
“Lay On, Macduff."
I have said all 1 cared to say, and
If this be not enough, then I add:
‘Lay on. -Macduff, lay on! and duntned
be he who first cries "Hold! enough.
