THE CHATTOOGA NEWS.
WILL RANKIN RUN?
llt Is Safd That He Will Oppose
Congressman Maddox.
Its a year until another con
| gression al election, but already
there is talk of it, and rumors of
opposition to Judge John W . Mad
dox, that popular and able gentle
man who now represents the great
seventh district in national hails.
Col. I. E. Shumate, of Dalton,
has been mentioned by his friends
but that gentleman stated yester
day to a Tribune man that he is
in no sense of the word a candi
| date, nor would he be.
Col. W. R. Rankin, of Calhoun,
however, is, it is stated, an avowed
candidate, or at leist has signified
his intention of making the race.
His most intimate friends have
for some time considered this to
be a certainty, and it seems that
there is i.o longer any doubt of his
intention to appear for the place.
Just here arises an interesting
question. On what lino will he
conduct his race, should he run?
Will it be as an organized demo
crat, an independent or a populist?
These questions are natural, as it
will be remembered that Colonel
Rankin was a warm espouser of
Dr. Felton’s cause last year. It
was generally understood tint he
had broken away from the ranks
of organized democracy, and if not
a populist outright, was at least in
sympathy with them and some of
their measures, according to those
who should know.
A friend of Colonel Rankin, in
speaking of his making the race,
intimatvd that the Colonel desired
a primary election, but did not
state whether a democratic prima
ry was meant or a white primary.

How to Prevent Croup.
Some reading that will prove
interesting to young mothers. How
to guard against the disease.
Croup is to young moth
ers and to post, them concerning
the cause, first symptoms and
treatment is the object of this
item. The origin of croup is a
common cold Children who are
subject to ij take cold very easily
and croup is almost sure to follow.
I’ll 3 first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cough, which is easily recog
nized and will never be forgotten
by one who has heard it. The
time to act is when the child first
becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is freely given all
tendency to croup will soon disap
pear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the
attack. There is no danger in giv
ing this remedy for it contains
nothing injurious. For sale by all
druggists.
Fire at Cave Spring.
Cave Spring, Nov. 6.—What
was thought for awhile would
prove a disastrous fire for Cave
Spring was narrowly averted yes
terday morning by the quick ac
tion of the citizens.
The fire was among the cotton
in the Farmer’s Alliance Co-oper
ative company’s warehouse and for
awhile it looked as if the whole
warehouse store would be destroy
ed. Several bales of cotton were
damaged.
The origin of the fire is unknown
but is thought to be the work of
an incendiary.

Local Option the Thing,
r The legislature will make a se-
E rious mistake if it passes the dis-
* pensary bill now before that body.
We have a general local option
law in Georgia and it should be
let alone.
Under this law every county,
town and city in Georgia can li
cense the sale of liquor or not, as
it pleases. This law is based upon
common sense and embodies the
> idea of home rule which should
never be disregarded.
We do not believe that the
cause of temperance would be
benefitted by any such legislation
as is uow proposed. It is impos
sible to enforce any law when it
T has not the moral support of the
community, and in those localities
in Georgia where the people want
whisky sold it will be sold regard
. less of any general prohibition or
dispensary law.
The Journal is now, as it h-s
ever been, in favor of the strict
regulation of the liquor traffic, but
it believes in practical measures
' It also believes in leaving each
community to regulate its own af
fairs. One county in Georgia has
no more right to impose the dis
pensary law on another county in
Georgia which does not want it
than a county in Georgia has to
force the license system on anoth
er Georgia county which wants the
dispensary or prohibition. Legis
lators should represent their own
constituencies in this matter and
not attempt to force their views
and plans upon the others.
1 We have no hesitation in de
, claring that the passage of the bill
on this subject now before the leg
islature would cause strife in
Georgia without aiding the good
cause which its advocates seem to
think it would advance.
Our advice to the legislature is
to let the local option law alone. —
Atlanta Journal.
Good advice : Nd ver leave Lome

i Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy.
, The wife of Mr. Leonard Wells,
of East Brimfield, Mass., had been
suffering from neuralgia for two
days, not being able to sleep or
hardly keep still, when Mr. Hol
den, the merchant there sent her
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm, and asked that she give it a
thorough trial. On meeting Mr.
Wells the next day he was to>d
that she was all right, the pain
had left her within two hours, and'
that the bottle of Pain Balm was
worth $5.00 if it eould not be had
for less. For sale at 50 cents per
bottle by all druggists,

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH.
Weekly Reports of the Trades
man Continue Encouraging,
The Tradesman in its weekly
bulletin of industrial and trade
conditions in the south for the
past week says : “The Tradesman’s
reports as to industrial conditions
in all parts of the south, for the
week just ended, show that the va
riations in the cotton markets
have not been felt in other lines of
business. The crop being short
and the demand very great, all
growers of cotton aro getting a
considerable advance on what was
expected in the spring, and settle
ments as now being made are on
good terms. In other lines, such
as cotton manufacturing, iron ma
king, lumber and coal, everything
is prosperous. The south’s groat
advantage this year is that its cot
ton crop has been made for less
money than ever before, is being
sold for higher price, and the pro
ceeds are almost all available for
investment, as homo grown sup
plies were nover before raised in so
great quantity.”
An Important Office.
To properly fill its office and func
tions. it is important that the
blood be pure. When it is in such
a condition, the body is almost
certain to be healthy. A complaint
at this time is catai rh is catarrh
in some of its various forms. A
slight cold develops tho disease in
the head. Droppings of corrup
tion passing into tho lungs bring
on corruption . Tho only way to
cure this disease is to purify the
blood. The most obstinate cases
of catarrh yield to the medicinal
powers of Hood’s Sarsaparilla as
if by magic, simply because it
reaches the seat of the disease, and
by purifying and vitalizing the
blood, removes the cause. Not
only does Hood’s Sarsaparilla do
this but it gives renewed vigor to
the whole system, making it pos
sible for good health to reign su
preme.
Shot by an Ex-Convict.
Gadsden, Ala., Nov. 6. —Will
Cothran, a Georgia negro, was shot
and fatally wounded near here
yesterday evening by Jim Adams,
an ex-convict. Adams has the
reputation of being a mean negro.
He has escaped. Cothran recently
came here from Rome, Ga.
Blood and nerves are very close
ly related. Keep the blood rich,
pure and healthy with Hood’s Sar
saparilla and you will have no
trouble from nervousness.

Didn’t Take the Paper.
A public spirited school super
intendent recently asked every
teacher in a county institute who
took their local paper to hold up
their hands, and out of about one
hundred only six responded, at
which he expressed surprise, and
said:
“You don’t spend one dollar a
year with these papers, yet you ex
pect them to print free of charge
notices of institutes, insert long
programs of same, and a full re
port of what you say and do on
these occasions, print your honor
rolls, commencement exercises,
and thus expect them to advertise
you and your abilities in yourcho
' sen profession, thus assisting you
to climb the ladder to higher posi
tion and better -salaries without a
cent of patronage in return. Your
condition in this matter would lead
me, were I the editor, to promptly
throw into the waste basket any
article or communication sent to
me by organization or society the
members of which are too stingy
to take a paper, or if I inserted it,
,to demand full advertising rates
for every line published.”
Fun While It Lasted.
New 5 ork, Nov. I.—A wild steer
ran amuck in the Grand Central
Station today, and before' it could
be restrained held up one of Dr.
Depew’s trains and created a wide
spread panic among the patrons of
the New York Central Railroad.
The animal escaped from a neigh
boring slaughter-house and bolted
through tho main entrance of tho
station. For tho space of 20 min
utes the steer owned everything in
sight. The passengers in tho wait
ing-room fled and tho ticket agents
mysteriously disappeared. The
steer had fun with tho fine French
plato glass at tho ladies’ waiting
room, and after demolishing sev
eral hundred dollars’ worth, turn
ed his attention to the furniture’
Ibis was demolished in part before
the porters persuaded the strange
visitor to leave. Ono of tho por
ters added to the excitementof tho
beast by prodding it with a lighted
torch. The half crazed animal
bolted out on tho tracksand began
to buck the switches. Throe blocks
from the station it got in tho way
of tho Boston oxpress and refused
to budge. Tho engineer slowed
down, and the train was delayed
12 minutes, while tho track em
ployes argued tho question with
tho steer. A butcher succeeded in
lassoing the truant, and the oxcito
ment ended shortly afterwards in
the demise of the animal at the
slaughter house.
Six weeks ago I suffered with a
very severe cold ; was almost un
able to speak. My friends all ad
vised me to consult a physician.
Noticing Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy advertised in the St. Paul
Volks Zeitung I procured a botth ,
and after taking it a short while
was entirely well. 1 now' most
heartily recommend this remedy
to anyone suffering with a cold.
