transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before projier 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
who Value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
ijjic remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali-
'tornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
t?l reputable druggists.
If in the. enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
me should have the best, and with the
wfcll-informcd everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

[Special Correspondence.]
Atlanta, Ang. 1.—The peoplo of this
city have suffered intensely this woek.
I have never known them to complain
so much. The hot wave was oppressive
and cases of smtstroko have been nu
merous. Daring the last few days there
has been nu exodus. Whole families
have hurried away to the mountains.
Konnesaw, Pinp and Lost mountains,
looming np on the blue lino of the west
ern horizon, seem to bo blistering under
the fearful heat of midday. Usually it
makes me feel cool to look away off to
the west where the mountain peaks
tower skyward, but it is not so now.
The sick have had a trying week.
Half the men you lie-ct say that they
scarcely sleep at all these nights. Police
men in the residence section say that
hundreds ol' peoplo have been spending
the nights in hammocks or on verandas
and some on the ground. But high up
above the street thero has been all the
time, day and night, a refreshing breeze
from the west. One has to to be several
stories up to get the benefit. This air
curmnt does not sweep the ground and
therefore is not so hot as might be pre
sumed. Unfortunately, this breeze
eomes too high for most of us.
Siteriflcod to lle<l Tape.
The sad story is told of a homeless and
friendless young woman who fell des
perately ill here a few nights ago. She
was iu intense agony and needed a phy
sician. Not a hospital would take her
in on one technicality or another. The
Grady hospital refused her and the po
lice would not even send a patrol wagon
for her. She was placed in a cab and
while being driven through the streets,
her shrieks of anguish wore heartrend
ing. What would Henry Grady say of
an ostensible charity which refuses,
shelter and attention to a woman in the
supreme crisis of lior life, boeauso of
some red tape rule? Institutions \\ iiioli
are so hedged about by regulations, got
little sympathy from the people and do
not deservo auy. Everyone knows that
the greathearted Grady would liavo
sent the ninbulaueo and a doctor on the
run to the poor sufferer.
City Politics.
In a fow weeks wo are to have on?
primaries for city offices. They come
along tirao ahead of the election, but
perhaps it is well enough to have it now.
Then wo can all settle down to business
igain.
felwlonel Albert Howell and ex-Presi
dent Charles Collier of the exposition
have the mayoralty race to themselves.
The labor vote and the Prohibitionists
are turning up together. They are not
making a political light, but it is well
known where their strength will bo
thrown. This element manages to elect
a majority of its ticket, but at the crit
ical moment when a vote is needed iu
council for some man or some measure,
the other side captures a voto or two
ami the fruit of tho election is plucked
by the minority.
Ono of tho candidates for council
makes the point that iu hard times, city
salaries should ho cut down. Ho su ;
gests that while they are reducing ex
penses, the couucilmen might cut their
own salaries and those of othor officials.
This is not a p opnlar plank with tho
"ins.”
An Old Question Still Tending.
“So long as I am president, I shall
endeavor to protect the interests of the
Central’s security holders from all who
may have designs on thorn,” said Mr.
H. M. Comer to me a day or two ago.
The Southern railway’s lawyer had
just stated that lie was willing to admit
“for tho sake of argument” that his
company owned a majority of the Cen
tral's stock. But the Central people de
nied it. Mr. Comer stated to tho rail-
i road commission that he had been in
formed on the best authority that thp
Southern does not own a dollar in the
Central and may never own one. He
was not asked for his “best authority.”
I imagine that his authority was Mr.
Coster, tho member of the T. P. Mor
gan company who orgaized the South
ern.
It was a peculiar situation—tho
Southern being willing to admit that it
owned the Central and the latter com
pany denying it.
Tho truth appears to bo that the same
people have largo holdings in each com
pany, but neither company, as a corpor
ation, owps any stock in the other.
It is significant that tho financiers
who reorganized t lie Central own or
hold all the stock which can voto and
that it has no market value becauso
there is no chance for it to pay a divi
dend in years. Tho chancos are that it
never will pay a dividend. Then, tho
question is: Where do Thomas and
Kyau como iu? Don't they get any
thing except some commissions for re
organizing? Or is it true, as has been
sopor ted, that they made millions out
of the reorganization? - Jlr. Comer says
that if the Central is treated by the
state commission as a part of the South
ern system, it will be a good thing for
tfie tfoutriern, oar tiaa ior tfto central. J e ~p rt ls ocing mane to avota a pnmic

* "Me and Mark."
Some of the “middle-of-the-road”
Populists, just returned from the St.
Louis convention, were telling their ex
periences a few days ago in a hotel lobby
hero. There were Democrats and Re
publicans iu the group and all had been
chaffing the Popnlists about undue in
timacy with Hanna—Mark, of course—
at the convention.
“The mistake Mel and I made,” said
one of them, speaking of a fellow dele
gate whose true identity may be con
cealed behind “Mel,” “was in going to
a $4 a day hotel and taking a room with
a bath. That did not go at all with the
western crowd They said that we were
stuck up and were shy of us and it got
Whispered around that we wore having
what they call in Kansas ‘a high o l

Hocking to ourselves, socially. Tho
western crowd stopped at a .jl a day ho
tel and wo just couldn't do a thing
with them when we began to talk about
a straight Populist ticket. And that is
why we Georgians made the fight for a
Populist vice president. We could nut
head off that Bryan boom. Whenever
we tried to talk against Bryan, some
westerner would come along and re
mark ‘them fellers are payin’ $4 a day
for their board. They are Hanna’s
workers.’ That queered us. There
was not a word of truth in it, but the
westerners looked on suspiciously. But
I was going to tell you—some of us got
broke. So me and Mark—”
At this slip there was a great laugh.
The delegate had intended to say, he
explained afterward, “Me and Mel.”
At all events, they had no trouble in get
ting their cheeks cashed.
Who W1U Take Uii l’lace?
The papers aro discussing prospective
Populist candidates for congress in the
Tenth, now that Wats in is out of it.
Different names are mentioned, Mc
Gregor, Branch, Ellington and others.
Watch out for Ellington. He will be
the man. Major McGregor lost a fight
in his own county recently and that has
hurt his chances. Mr. Branch does not
want it and Mr. Ellington is strong
with his party all over his district.
Tho talk around Democratic head
quarter- np here is that the Democratic
nominee in the Tenth will be Major
Black if Ire will reconsider his letter
and if he persists in not running then
Major Joseph Lamar is regarded us tho
coming man. It is understood around
headquarters that Boykin Wright, who
has been mentioned so often in this con
nection, does not want the nomination.
Another word as to tho Populists.
They are still at sea iu regard to a can
didate for governor. Sentiment in the
party has not set toward auy man. The
leaders have not selected any one to try
to put through! and the convention
meets here next week. Seaborn Wright
would get the bauble if he would come
out as a pronounced Populist.
The Democratic state campaign will
be mapped out at the meeting of the ex
ecutive and advisory committees next
Monday. Tho committee which is most
needed just now is a finance committee
that can finance. Chairman Steve Clay
is holding the bag. He has been keep
ing headquarters open for three weeks
anil I do not believe he has received
oveii a postage stamp in contribution.
The hat passing time has come. But if
I wore the chairman, it would bo some
other man’s hat. It will be a risky ex
periment so far as the hat is concerned.
The Hate War.
Tho interference of a court in a rail
road war is a decidedly novel feat
ure. It is an exercise of judicial power
which was not dreamed of a fow years
ago. The evolution of the power of
courts, governing by injunction and ad
ministering vast estates through rocoiv-
orsliips, is startling. The judicial branch
of our government also legislates and
executes and is approaching tho point
where it will dominate.
There ought to be some way of pre
venting tho sacrifice of property. A
rate war on the continent is something
not dreamed of. English roads do not
cut rates. If an officer or an agent of
an English road were to give a rebate or
make a cut in ratos, he would bo dis
missed and would he blacklisted. He
would bo unable to get another position
on any railroad in tho United Kingdom
and would probably come to the (United
States and get a place as traffic manager
of some largo system at a handsome
salary.
A Court Scandal.
A sensation is simmering in legal cir
cles hero, and there is talk of impeach
ment. All four of the courts here have
been reorganized in the last two or three
years, by resignation, death or expira
tion of terms of office. The changes
have not ill every instance pleasod the
members of tho bar, aud the occupants
of the bench have not in every caso been
acceptable. There has been talk of
resignations and trades, aud now the
members of the bar are discussing some
thing else. But it is too delicate a
matter to fool with in correspondence
until some pronounced action is takeu.
Efirhans will not be necessary. An

as to change the organization of the Supreme Court, to increase
the number of associate justices, to provide for elections by the
people, and for other purposes:
Section I. Be enacted by the General Assembly, That the Con
stitution of this State be amended by adding a new paragraph, to

The Supreme Court shall hereafter consist of a Chief Justice and
five associate justices. The court shall have power to hear and de
termine cases when sitting, either in a body or in two divisions of
three judges each, under such regulations as may be prescribed by
the Geueral Assembly. A majority of either division shall consti
tute a quorum for that division. The Chief Justice and the associ
ate justices of the Supreme Court shall hereafter bo elected by the
people at tho same time and in the same manner as the Governor
and the State house officers are elected, except that the first election
under this amendment shall be held on the third Wednesday in
December, 189(5, at which time one associate justice shall be elected
for a full term of six years, to fill the vacancy occurring on January
iii'st, 1897, by the expiration of the term of one of the present incum
bents, aud three additional associate justices shall be elected for
terms expiring respectively, January 1st. 1899; January 1st, 1901; and
January 1st, 1909. The persons elected as additional associate jus
tices shall, among themselves, determine by lot which of the three
last mentioned terms each shall have, and they shall be commission
ed accordingly. After said first election, all terms (except unex
pired terms) shall be for six years each. In case of any vacancy
which causes an unexpired term, tho same shall be filled by executive
appointment, and the person appointed by the Governor shall hold
his office until the next regular election, aud until his successor for
the balance of the unexpired term shall have been elected and quali
fied. The returns of said special election shall bo made to the Sec
retary of State.
Sec. II. Be it further enacted, That whenever the above proposed
amendment to the Constitution shall bo agreed to by two thirds of
the members elected to each of the two houses of the General As
sembly, and the same has been entered on their journals with the
yeas and nays taken thereon, the Governor shall, and he is hereby
authorized and instructed to cause said amendment to be published

state for the period of two months next preceediug the time of
holding the next general election.
Sec III. Be it further enacted, That above proposed amendment
shall be submitted for ratification or rejection to the electors of this
State at the next general election to be held alter publication
as provided for in the second section of this Act, in the several elec
tion districts of this State, at which election every person shall be
qualified to vote who is entitled to voto for members ot tho General
Assembly. All persons voting at said election in favor of adopting
the proposed amendment to tho Constitution shall have written or
printed on their ballots tho words “For Supreme Court Amendment,”
and all persons opposed to tho adoption of said amendment shall
have written or printed on their ballots the words “Against Supreme
Court Amendment.”
Sec. 1\ . Be it further enacted, That tho Governor be, and hois
hereby authorized and directed to provide for tho submission of the
amendment proposed iu tho first section of this Act to a vote of the
people as required by the Constitution of this State in paragraph 1
of section 1 of article 13, and by tie's Act and if ratified, tho Gov
ernor shall, when he ascertains such ratification from the Secretary
of State, to whom the returns shall be referred in tho manner as ik
cases of election# for members of the General Assembly "to count
aud ascertain the results, issue his proclamation for ono insertion in
one of the daily papers of this state, announcing such result and de
claring tho amendment ratified.
Sec. Y, Be it further enacted That all laws and parts of laws ia
conflict with this Act be, and the same are, hereby repealed.
Approved December 1(5, 1895.”.
Now, therefore, I, William Y. Atkinson, Governor of said State,
