W ith a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before pro()er ef
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
,vho value good health. Its beneficial
■ffects are due to the fact, that itis the
ne remedy which promotes internal
eanliness' without, debilitating the
•gans on which it acts. It is therefore
important, in order to got its beue-
al effects, to note when you pur
se, that you have the genuine nrl i-
which is manufactured by the Cali-
ia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
'putable druggists,
n the enjoyment of good health,
he system is regular, laxatives or
remedies are then not needed. If

[ Special Correspondence. ]
Atlanta, July 18.—The boys who
were in Chicago last week say that on
the day after Bryan was nominated,
Alderman John Colvin of Atlanta,»who
was in the Georgia party but not a del
egate, went out to call ou a friend.
Our fat alderman had decorated his
rotund front with divers badges, among
them one that was conspicuous because
of its green borders, and a picture of the
nominee. A maid from county Kerry
answered the ring of the doorbell. She
surveyed the Atlantiau for a minute,
read the name on the green bordered
badge and exclaimed:
“Be you the gintleman they nomi
nated for prisideut?”
“Oi am—nit,” “Undo” John replied.
Speaking of Chicago, they do say that
some of the Georgians, elated at their
front seats on the Bryan band wagon,
sought a caucus with theJState street
tiger, but they had not the same luck
calling the cards in the faro box that
had blessed them in the presidential
game. However, they are all at home
now and accounted for.
lt«*piiblleans Divided.
There is talk of two Republican tick
ets being put out. Georgia’s Republi
cans aro as badly split as the Democrats
are anywhere. Here it is a fight be
tween the whites and the blacks for
control. When the next state conven
tion moots, the blacks will bo there pre
pared to assert tlioir claims by physical
force. They aro talking it boldly. The
last Republican state convention was
called to order by the whites and they
declared it adjourned when they elected
delegates to the fit. Louis convention.
But tho dark element in the ednvention,
and that was the greater part of it,
claim that the motion to adjourn was
not carried. They proceeded to hold a
convention of’ their own. Colonel
Buck’s delegates to St. Louis were rec
ognized by the national committee aitd
tlie national convention, but tho con
testing blacks say that tho committee'
never did decide on the regularity of
their convention.
Colonel Buck is Hanna’s lieutenant
in Georgia. The colored wing, or rather
Vody of the party, is trying to fix itself
to scoop the offices in the event McKin
ley is elected. And tho negroes aro
strong in the belief that the Ohioan
will win. Hence their preparations for
a desperate fight. They kept Major
Hanson out because they feared he
wogld be a power in dispensing patron
age should there be any to dispense.
T. F. Johnson of Savannah is their
candidate for governor. Tho blacks
will run a white matt at the head of
their state ticket, but he has always
n a Republican.
earnest about enforcing tne law, wmen
is very strict and explicit. Mr. Terrell
was in Washington a few days ago and
had a conference with the postoffice
chiefs. They believe the new revenue
will make tho postoffice department
self sustaining.
Perhaps it is not generally known
that the law forbids a person sending a
letter by an agent or friend between
two points connected by the postal ser
vice. A merchant is forbidden to send
a letter from Atlanta to Rome, Augusta,
Columbus or any other point where
there is a postoffice, unless the letter is
stamped. The government has no ob
jection to the letter beiug carried by a
representative of the writer, outside the
mail car, provided that the necessary
postage is paid and the stamp is can
celled and the date is written on the en
velope.
The railroad companies are bringiug
great pressure to bear to get the law
suspended so far as it relates to local
business. If they fail, they will prob
ably resort more to the telegraph to es
cape the postage. Most railroads havij
a contract with the Western Union by
which the telegraph company haudles
all their official telegraphic correspon
dence botween local points on the road
free. In return the Western Union
takes all the receipts of the offices
Tho Seaboard Air Line railroad has a
better arrangement than that. It owns
a telegraph system coveri-g its rail linos
and the Western Union gives its officers
unlimited franks good for the entire
United States. The Seaboard will send
its letters by wire instead of bv the bag-
gagemaster or tho postoffice depart
ment. It will be much cheaper than
paring postage.
The • Southern railway will take up
the matter of constructing its own tel
egraphic system, or making a new con
tract with the Western Union, if that
is possible. All the large railway sys
tems in tho United States will immedi
ately look into the cost of constructing
and operating extensive telegraph sys
tems, with the capacity to handle all
tlie official eorrasaondance. This seems
to be the only v(a/ to'get out of paying
enormous postage bills.
Two National Figures.
I interviewed two men this week of
national reputation. One was Colonel
W. O. I’. Breckinridge of Kentucky,
and the otlwr was ex-Governor Frank
Jackson of Iowa. Jackson is the man
who defeated Governor Horace Boies,
councflmeii Sic? not unow' whether to
believe their own eyes or not, and ad
journed very much mixed on the subject.
W. W. Austell has negotiated a 'can
of $o00,000 at. 7 per cent for five years
to erect a 10-story building on Forsyth
street in the old Capitol block. Tho
Venables will put up a great granito
building equally as high on the other
corner, in front of the postoffice. The
city government will move into the
Venable building whou it is completed.
This investment in office buildings is
being overdone, it would seem to a
looker-on. «

W. W. Brown, a white Republican
politician of Macon, who was here this
week, declared that he had forsworn
slate politics. He has worked to keep
tho party control in white hands. The
negroes have defeated the whites in
their aims and Mr. Brown sees no hope
of making it a whito party in Georgia.
A Macon politician tells me that Bibb
enmity will oppose the nomination of
Robert Berner uf Monroe county for tlie
state senate. If is Monroe county’s turn
this year to name tho senator under the
rotation system. Mr. Berner is under-
sS'.nid to be favorable to the Bush bill,
and tho Bibb delegation will be opposed
to it.

Undo Sam has wrought up the rail
roads this week by ordering them to pay
postage on theircorrespondeuce. This has
never been done before. The roads had
a mail system of their own. At all im

I read in tlie Christian Standard
that Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A, St.
Louis, Mo., would give an elegant
plated hook spoon to any one sending
Iter ten ’J cent stamps. I sent for one
and found it so useful that I showed it
to my friends, and made $13 in two
hours, taking orders for the spoon. The
hook spoon is a household necessity.
It cannot slip into the dish or cooking
vessel, being held in the place by a
hook on the back. The spoon is some
thing housekeepers have needed ever
since spoons were first invented. Any
one can get a sample spoon by sending
ten 2-cent stamps to Miss Fritz. Ibis
is a splendid way to make money
around home. Very truly,

Ex-Governor Jackson is very conser

Jackson thinks that everything de
pends on the spread of the silver senti
ment in tho east. He says that the two-
parties have divided on the financial
issue in liis state, but cLiirns that Mc
Kinley will carry it by a good majority.
‘•Iowa never has given its electoral
vote to any other than a Republican,”
he remarked, “and we- naturally count
it as still a Republican state, even on
this issue.”'
