To w reck the Democratic party

a greater political crime than the

is not the only one of interest to
the country and good Democrats

Judge Maddox a Hard Worker.
Some of the hardest worked men
in congress are but little heard of
by the public, because a man |
don’t speak every day or every
week is no reason that he is not
accomplishing very much.
An instance in point is that of
Judge Maddox, of Georgia. He is
one of the strong men of the house.
Vet he speaks but little. Ilis great
1 work is in the committee room, j
On Indian affairs, on which com
mittee he went at the urgent soli
citation of the secretary of the in
terior, he has done some splendid
work, and has saved hundreds of
thousade of dollars to the govern
ment.
I was talking with him today a
bout the work of his committee:
“Everything pertaining to In
dian affairs comes before us,” said
j He. “All claims held by the In
dians against the government and
vice versa, also claims by individ
: uals against the Indians, are ad
justed before this committee, and
j they are almost innumerable.
; Lawyers are before the sub-com
mittee nearly every day in tho in
| terest of claims. The character
|of the claims are varied, many of
| them are unjust and spurious and
it takes the closest scrutiny and
patient investigation to unearth
them and show that they are frau
dulent. in some instances it is
shown that the government, by
legislative enactments, has depriv
ed the Indians of their property
without compensation and contra
ry to the most solemn treaties en
tered into with these people. These
cases give considerable trouble
i and require a great deal of tiino
|to run down and find out exactly
what their rights are.
!
| “The confirmation of all treaties
i and contracts with tho Indians is
considered by this committee.
There are 218,550 Indians that are
wards of the government. There
aro about one hundred different
ti'ibs, fifty agencies and two hun
dred schools. Some of them are
very well off and get no gratuity
from the government, particularly
the Osage tribe.
The appropriation bill of this
committee carries about $10,000,-
000 usually, this year it will be
less than $9,000,000. This is con
fessedly tho most difficult bill to
make up that comes before con
gress. No two of the treaties are
alike, and each one require a sepa
rate consideration. The gratuities
which amount to over $2,01X1,000,
require careful consideration every
year. Their necessities depend
upon circumstances. Sometimes
their crops and herds fail them
entirely; then the government
must make it good for them. It
is much cheaper to feed them than
to fight them.
“The most onerous part of the
work of the committee is to stand
between the Indians and fraudu
lent claims of white men. The
committee works every day. There
is no such thing as rest during the
session of congress, and there is no
bill that attracts so much attention
as the appropriation bill of the
committee of Indian affairs.”
Besides his work on the elections
committee, Judge Maddox is a
member of the special Ford thea
ter disaster committee. It has
provided for all the cases, but
there are yet 200 cases applying
for damages for injuries received
in the accident.—E. W. B. in Con
stitution.
Secretary Morton’s seed distri
bution bureau at Washington ought
to be abolished. If congressmen
must have something to send to
their constituents at home, let it
be something that they need and j
want, and not a useless lot of seed ,
of uncertain, and often of no value;
at all. That seed business is ai*
farce and a fraud and it ought to j
go.

A very curious fact is the impos- <
sibility of moving your eye while
examining the reflection of that 1
organ in a mirror. It is really the i
most movable part of the face; i
yet, if you hold your head fixed j
and try to move vour eye while i
watching it you cannot do it—even i
the one-thousandth of an iuch. ]
Os course if you look at the re-' i
(lection of the nose or any other <
[>art of the face, your eye must <
move to see it. But the strange i
thing is that the moment you eu- 1
leaver to perceive the motion the t
>ye is fixed. This is one of the t
easons why a person s expression 1
as seen by himself in a glass is J
]uite different from what it is I
vheu seen by others. <
CLIPPINGS AND COMMENT. j
A giri can have a protracted
duck-fit over violets and roses ond
the next hour eat onions at dinner. 1
“Some mama’s raise cewus daugh

Yes, but the daughters of women ,
cannot live on roses and violets a-1
leue, you know.
The new woman is tickling the j
world under the chin and she does
not appear to care who she shocks.

According to the Waycross Her
ald there is a man in Homerville
wit ha thick coat of hair on one
side of his head while the other is
quite bald, and a man in Waycross
one side of whose face is black as
i midnight. The first man should
get liis w ife to even up matters for
I him, and the second should use
Pears’ soap.
The Chattooga News is the
nearest “square” of any exchange
coming to our office, and every
inch of it is good.—Waycross Her
ald.
Thanks, brother. We try to do
business on tho “square”—town
square, and never make our Way
cross lots unless the sheriff is too
persistent.
When a woman marries a m«n
because she pities him, its only a
question of time when she will see
all other women —pitying him.—
Rome Hustler.
She is probably sorry that some
one of them can’t marry him, too.
Senoy and Summerville had just
as well to dry up about the liquor
question.—Rome Tribune.
Yes, it is a dry subject.
Voters who have been saving up
their votes to cast against the ed
itor in the Oct. election will regret
to hear the editor will not be in it.
He knows how mean he is.—Tren
ton News.
There’s nothing like keeping well
posted, brother.
Editor Wrench says the two best
things a fellow cun own is a gov
ernment bond and a clear con
science. Jim Hall, John Cain and
Otis Clements think they are a gov
ernment bond and a marriage bond.
—Dalton Argus.
As to ourself we’ve got a good
conscience—perhaps a little bit
run down at the heel but still in
working order—but we haven’t any
sort of bond, either government or
matrimonial In fact we doubt if
a bond could be produced that
would satisfy the sheriff.
A man has just been discovered

From one of most sensible ex
changes is clipped the following
extract:
The man who refuses to take his
home paper is without public spir-.
it and is of little benefit to the
community in which he lives. The
greatest of all nonesense is to try
to make a town grow without a
newspaper; it simply-won’t do it.
Poor, lean, half-starved newspapers
are indicative of the same kind of
a town. Neat, lively papers, full
of local news and full of advertise
ments of local tradesmen, mean
business for the newspapers, for
the people, and prosperity for the
town. Hold up your home news
papers and they will hold you up. .
Stick a pin just here and give the
paper a boom and you will boom .

The indications now are that a
very large crop of cotton will be
planted this year, and if the sea
sons are good, it is quite probable
that a ten million bale crop will
be the result. If such should be
the casj the farmers need not rea
sonably expect more than five cents
a pound for their cotton. A crop
of six million bales would most
likely put the price to ten cents,
but getting the farmers to see it in
that light is the question.

f ATKINSON FOB SENATOR.
, Georgia's Govenor Wants to suc
ceed Gen. Goidon.
Savannah, Ga., Feb- 23.—A story
j of a political conference held in
Atlanta yesterday has reached here,
and the story is one which is likely
to create a sensation at Washing
ton, as well as throughout Geor
gia. It is that Gov. Atkinson is
being strongly urged by Ins friends
j to enter the race for the senate to
succeed Senator Gordon, and that
he has made up his mind to do so
Ex-Speaker Crisp, Hoke Smith
and Fleming Dubignon have been
regarded as the only probable can
didates for this office, though At
kiusou has been in the position of
dark horse. Crisp has never un
nounced that he would be a candi
date, and the Atkinson movement
is based somewhat on the suppo
sition that the ex-speaker would
rather be the democratic leader in
1 the lower house than take a see
, ondary place in the upper.
Smith and Dubignon are on the
administration financial platform,
j. which is unpopular in Georgia.
I Atkinson would run as a silver
candidate.
The movement for a single state
| convention instead of two is re
garded as in Atkinson’s interest
r and it is believed that when that
is settled the Governor will an
nonce his cadidacy for the senate.
„ If he does, State Treasurer Harde
j. man or A. S. Clay, ex-speaker ancl
ex-president of the senate, will be
g the canidate for Governor.
When Governor Atkinson was
; asked about the conference referred
9 to in the above dispatch ho said it
0 was all news to him; that he had
y not attended any caucus and had
not heard of one.
y ELECTRICITY IN EARTH.
Is It the Awful Force that Will
Destroy the World.
a “Take a spade, turn up a small
quantity of soil, hold a portion in
| your hand, hold it to your ear,
then smell it. You will observe
s 1 first a slight motion, hear a faint
| sound as of the moving of distant
thunder and readily notice the odor
|of heat. Do you know that the
’ | forces held in your hand are from
I electricity : that the earth for thre6
a | feet deep is alive with the invisible
a : power and forms the secret of veg
-1 j egetable life? Waves of electrici
! ty are constantly passing through
. | the soil in unseen billows, thus
j ! keeping the soil from souring, as
I the billows of the ocean keep the
1 waters from becoming stagnant.
|To demonstrate this fact, go to
some rock bound pool, dip out a

3 j set aside in a warm place for a
fl short time. Then take the bottle

A FRIGHTFUL WRECK,
At Maudeviile cn the Chatta
nooga, Roinß and Columbus.
Bremen, Feb. 21.—A terrible
wreck occurred on the Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbus railroad about
10 o'clock Thursday night at Mau
deville, a few miles below hero.
As a result fourteen cars, a depot
a cotton seed room and a black
smith shop were burned, and a ne
gro lost his life.
The negro suffered horrors before,
dying. His foot was caught under
a car. The train of cars contained
two tanks of oil, and they burned
furiously, setting fire to the other
cars. The flames rushed toward
the poor brakeman, and the horror
stricken spectators could do noth
ing. It was impossible to release
him. The poor fellow looked the
situation calmly in the face. He
turned to those next him andcooly
said:
i
“Take an axe and cut off my leg
! I would rather you’d do that than
i to burn to death.”
It seemed a terrible tiling to do,
to chop off a man’s leg with an axe
: Yet it was either that or stje him
I roasted alive. Everybody hesitated.
Finally, when the flames alm« st
j scorched him, and the poor fellow
: begged piteously to cut off the leg,
a big, strong man grabbed a sharp
axe, and with all his might cut at
| the pinned limb. The keen edge of
I the axe sank almost through, but
j still enough of the limb held to
keep him pinned. With a gasp
| the man made another blow, and
( this time the limb was auveren.
The horrible scene was witnessed
| by a number of people, and they
quickly picked up the brakeman
and carried him to where he could
be given attention. But the shock
was 100 great. He died in five
minutes.
His name was Sol Smith, and
his home was at Carrollton.
The accident occured by reason
of a spread switch. The engine
was demolished and fourteen cars
piled upon each other. The two
tanks of oil caught fire at once and
set fire to the whole train. The de
pot, a cotton seed house and black
smith shop also caught, and all
were burned.
No other injuries are reported.
Mr. Howard Jack was a passen
ger, but escaped without injury.
He states that the negro pinned to
the earth, the cutting off of his leg
and his death were scenes most
horrible to witness. All were hor
rified. Smith’s coolnts and pluck
were wonderful.
As a result of the wreck the north
bound passenger train was delayed
about an hour this afternoon .
The Macon Telegraph thinks
candidates for the legislature will
have a hard row of stumps to hoe
this year in many of tho counties.
The legislature will be called on to
elect judges and solicitors-geudral
in all but two of the circuits and
a United States senator is to be e
lected. This latter fight will be
largely along the lines of national
finance and will be so hot that the
top rail of the political fence will
be on fire, making it a most un
comfortable loaiing place for can
didates. As if this was not enough
trouble, here comes the prohibition j
questi' n. There is a strong and I
unmistakable disposition on the j
part of the anti-liquor men to ap-1
ply their yard stick vigorously to
all candidates, and this application
is not at all pleasant to a man who
sees vo'tes going to the other fel
low, no matter what he does, and
simply wants to be let alone.

The Mayoralty.
Mayor J. D. Taylor was some
what displeased with the account
of the Mayor’s election in last
weeks N ews, because, as ho claimed,
it seemed to put him in the posi
tion of a man waiting to accept an
office that no one else would have.
Col. Taylor says that as a matter
of fact he was solicited to accept
the place on Saturday before, per
haps about the time it became
known that Capt. Cleghorn would
not accept, and that he told the
parties lie did not want the office,
and would not accept it if some
one else could be found who would
take it. lie says he told them if
they failed in this, that he might
reconsider the matter, hence they
went to him Tuesday and he de
cided to accept.
We published the matter just as
it was generally understood on the
streets, and what the “outsiders”
understood to be the facts, and we
had no thought or intention of
putting Mr. Taylor, or any one else
in a false position.

Untold Agonies
Every Limb Ached With Musctl*
lar Rheumatism
A Perfect Cure by Hood’s Sarsa*
parllla.
The cause of rheumatism is lactic
ftcid in the blood, which accumulates
in the joints, and gives the victim such
dreadful pains and aches. Hood's Sar
saparilla neutralizes the acid, purities,
the blood and thus cures rheumatism.
“Five years ago I had my first attack
of lumbago or muscular rheumatism.
gl was in bed two
weeks. I had a
good physician
but he did not do
me any good. A
friend recom
mended Hood’s
Sarsaparilla and
I sent for a bot
tle. At that tipi*
I ached in overy
limb, especially
in my back and
hip. I felt as
though I had a
fever and for a
few hours at
AM.eviiie, s. c. night it was im
possible to sleep. I suffered untold agonies.
Constipation was not the least of my
troubles. I commenced to take Hood’s
Sarsaparilla and felt a decided chango in
three days. I was able to get out of bed
Hood’s s ?> Cures
and sit at the fire in course of a week.
I can recommend it as tho best remedy for
indigestion and dyspepsia I over tried.”
