HON. W. J. N0RTHEN.
‘From present appearances, reflect
ed through the Press of the State, aud
other channels of information we are
led to believe that there will be no
serious opposition to the nomination
of this gentleman for Governor by
the next State Democratic Conven
tion. . . . .
He is not only a wise mun, but he is
an intelligent, successful and practical
farmer, aud the farmers will be hon
ored in his nomination and election to
the Chief Magistracy of Georgia. We
believe he would make an excellent
Governor for the whole people.
The Primary.
With due notification of time and
place of holding primaries to nomi
nate county representatives to the
Legislature, and delegates to the Sen
atorial or other Conventions, we think
there is no fairer and better way’ to
discharge these duties than by Pri
maries. If a man will not go to ft pri
mary meeting in the county he lives
in, lie will hardly go to the polls to
vote. There is a very happy feature
about these Primaries; they settle the
irritating question weeks in advance
of election day, and when that day
arrives there is no excitement do
pulling and hauling meD about--al)
is quiet—all serene, all settled.
A Chance for the Girls.
From the Enquirer-Sun.
It is reported that the census super
visor in one of the Georgia districts
will appoint a number of young la
dies to the position of enumerators.
The other supervisee might do a
great deal worse than to follow this
example, if the repart be true. The
Geer gin territory iwill require hun
dreds of enumerators, and there is no
reason why a fair proportion of
them should not be given to young
ladies who desire employment. They
might be assigned districts in many
of the cities and towns, where the
work will be pleasant. Such appoint
ment would be approved wherever
made, and we call tiie attention of all
the supervisors (to the proposition.
The new census of Georgia would be
all the better from the knowledge
that, scores of intelligent and deserving
young ladies ussisted in gathering the
statistics.
NO MORK RONDS FOR SALK.
The State of Georgia lias no more
bonds for sale, and will have none for
sale until 1915 The State owes at
present $8,509,500 and beginning Jan
uary 1st, 1898, will, retire yearly $100,-
000 of bonds, so that iu 1915 she will
owe $5,192,000. Her property, which
is all pledged for her debts, is worth
more than she owes.

MR. BLOUNT IS THE MAN
There is some talk of getting up a
petition to Judge Lumpkin to post
pone the holding of the adjourned

MR. HLOUNT’S ABILITY RKCOONIZKD.

ment. Hw received numerous con
gratulations from both sides to-night.
A COMPLIMKNT TO GEORGIA.
Georgia is to be congratulated, too,
for this is the first time that she lias
had a representative on the all-im
portant stirring committee of the
House.
GENERAL EVANS SAYS NO.
Atlanta, May 8.—Gen. Clement A.
Evans, who was announced as a can
didate for the governorship, has writ
ten a letter to the Journal, declining
to enter the race.
GEN. EVANS’ LETTER.
The General’s letter is as follows:
“At Home, May 7.—Your comoli-
mentary editorial to-day concerning
myself in connection with the offloe
of governor, requires me to state that
I am not a candidate. I would not
have it understood that I undervalue
the honor of this high position or am
lacking in appreciation of the friend
ship which would confer it on me, but
no personal ambition ought at this
perilous time to enter into the oanva#
for governor of our great common
wealth or outweigh the grave ques
tions now before us for solution. I
have been deeply touched by the cor
dial and unsought expressions of
many friends throughout my native
state who would entrust me with the
duties of the chief magistracy.
CHURCH BEFORE STATE.
“Yet, while that the service or the
citizen, in war and in peace, should
be freely given to the state in which
he lives, I must frankly say that my
own obligations, while they exist to
the church to which I have been ap
pointed aa the minister, stand in the
way of my candidacy for any office. I
fear this reason may appear insuffi
cient and unsatisfactory, but with
myself it alone possesses controlling
force. Respectfully,
Clbmbkt A. Evans."
WORK WILL NOT HURT.
Remember, my son you have to
work whether you handle a pick or
a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of
books, digging ditches or editing a
paper, ringing an auction bell or
writing funny things, you must work.
If you look around you will see that
the men who are most able to live
the rest of their days without work
are the men who worked the hard
est.
Don’t be afraid of killing yourself
with overwork. They die sometimes,
but it’s because they quit work at (1
p. m., and don’t go home until 2 a.
m. It is the iuterval that kills, my
son. The work gives you an appe
tite for your meals, it lends solidity
to your slumbers, it gives you a per
fect and graceful appreciation of a
holiday.
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not proud of
them. It does not know their names
even; it. simply speaks of them as
old so and so’s boys." The great
busy world doeseu’t know they are
here.
So, find out what you want to be
and do, and take off your *:oat and
make a dust in the world. The busi
er you are the less barm you are apt
to get into, tbe sweeter will be your
sleep, the brighter aud happier your
holidays and better satisfied will
the xvorld be with you.—R. J. Bur
dette.
It’s a Very Poor Sermon That Does
Not Hit Him Somewhere.
At a recent gathering of ministers
one speaker told an anecdote which
admits of large and varied applica
tion. It was the story of a minister
who said some strong things about
horse raoing. He was told after the
sermon that he had touched one of
their best members at a tender point,
“Weil," said the preaoher, “1 can
not change my sermon for him.”
In the evening the man was intro
duced to the minister who said,
“I understand that what I said
touched one of your weaknesses. 1
assure you that 1 was altogether un
conscious of the weakness when I said
it."
“Oh, do not trouble yourself,” said
the man. “It is a very poor sermon
that does not hit me somewhere.”

“Tired All the Time.”
Say many poor men and women, who
seemed overworked; or are debilita
ted by change of season, climate or
life. If you could read the hundreds
of letters praising Hood’s Sarsaparil
la which come from people whom it
has restored to health, you would be
convinced of its merits. As this is im
possible, why not try Hood's Sarsa
parilla yourself and thus realize its
benefit? It will tone and build up
your system, give you a good appetite,
overcome that tired feeling and make
you feel, as one woman expressed it,
‘‘like a new creature.”
