Editor Cain's bright paper is
now The Summerville News in
stead of Chattooga News, and it
is now issued in six column eight
page form. The change is quite
an improvement. The News is in
the front rank of Georgia’s week
lies.—Rome Tribune.
Editor Blackburn says he has
“no apologies to offer" for acting
with the Populist party in the re
cent campaign, and Editor Neal,
of the Marietta Journal, hastens
to assure him that the people are
satisfied if he is and don't care a
snap whether he apologizes or not.
This is the way the Paulding
New Era writes it down: “Died
on last Wednesday, the Populist
party of Paulding county, aged
four years. It was never a healthy
child: it was always noisy and
fretful, and kept alive by stimu
lants, Let us spread the mantle
of Christian charity over its grave.”
A large number of newspapers
all over the state are writing very
favorably of the bill that will come
up in the next legislature to make
women eligible as state li
brarians. This shows that
the sentiment of the state is
very justly in favor of opening up
all avenues of honorable and suita
ble labor for women.
Judge Joel Branham, of Rome,
has announced himself a candidate
for a judgeship in the supreme
court of Georgia, to fill one of the
vacancies made by a provision of
the last legislature, and ratified by
the people in the recent election.
Judge Branham is an eminent ju
rist. and there is not a man in
north or middle Georgia who could
fill the position better than he.
His tine record and his acknowledg
ed ability deserve this mark ofrec

POPS FOR FUSION.
Big Bugs of the Party Trying to
Form an Alliance With Re
publicans,
Atlanta Journal Oct. 15.
The Popu’ists executive commit
tee adjourned at 3 :30 this after
noon, and the announcement was
made that they will have no deal
with the Republicans in this state
on the election ticket.
A reso’ution was offered by J.
L. Sibley, of Cobb county, embrac
ing fusion but through the earnest
opposition of Seaborn Wright the
resolutions was voted down.
The committe was almost unan
imously in favor of it at first.
The congressional fusion may
go on.
Elam Christian had a card from
Tom Watson saying:
“The provocation is great and
the Democratic bosses are fools,
but 1 think it is our duty to stand
by the St. Louis ticket.”
This will probably be read to
the adjourned meeting this after
noon.
It is almost certain that the
Populists are flirting with the Re
publicans in several congressional
districts in Georgia.
The Populist state executive
in session at the Wall
street headquarters today, is wrest
ling with questions of state
and national policy behind closed
doors. They are unusual ly close
mouthed, and it is hard to get at
the precise nature of their deliber
ations, but this much may be sta
ted with certainty.
They are discussing resolutions
presented by Secretary James L.
Sibley, declaring on the position
of the party in Georgia. It is sup
posed that this declaration is an
tagonistic to the Democrats, and
may mean either a stay at home
policy or an open fight for Watson
against the fiel d . There is evi
dently a difference of opinion, for
the committee was in secret ses
sion continuously from 11:30 un
til 3.
Another fact is that the Popu
lists are in direct communication
with Republican headquarters, and
the general question of state policy
includes fusion with the Republi
cans. A well developed scheme
for the capture of two and possibly
four congressional districts came
to light.
An interesting fact in connec
tion with today’s meeting is th*t
Tom Watson is not here. His
friends seem to have taken care
that he should not be here, so that
he might not be embarrassed by
any action taken by today’s meet
ing. The action appears to have
been taken without consulting him
and perhaps in opposition to his
declared policy of non-fusion.
The meeting seems to be divided
between optimists and pessimists,
the one believing Bryan may be
I elected and still holding to the
j idea that he ought to be supported
and the other contending that Bry
an is beaten and it is useless to
cling to a forlorn hope to the dis
advantage of the Populist party.

Emulsion
I '
is made up of the most essential
,' elements that go to nourish
, the body. Where the appetite
is varying’ or lacking, it in
creases it, and where digestion
is weak, it aids it to perform
its function in a more vigorous
’ ■ way. It enriches the blood,
makes healthy flesh and cures
chronic coughs and colds by
making it possible for the body
to resist disease. Our friends tell
us “It Works Wonders”
but we never like to over-state
the merits of our remedy even
when it has been tested and
tried for over twenty-five years. |
If you wi.l ask for it, we will B
send you a book telling you I
more about the subject than we ||
can put in a few words.

One Populist said there was a dis
position among the rank and file
of the party to stay away from the
polls or else vote for McKinley.
Seab Wright is present and is
evidently trying to prevent radical
action, while others seem to think
the situation requires heroic treat-I
ment and a kind of declaration of
independence with fusion with Re
publicans for revenge on the Dem
ocrats.
There is a great scheme on to e-;
lect Republican and Populist con
gressmen in four districts of Geor
gia and it may extend all over the I
state. There are Republican dis-1
trict meetings for the Fourth, Fifth
Seventh and Ninth districts i n
session in Atlanta today. Com
munications are passing between j
Populist and Republican headquar
ters.
For sometime there have been |
rumors that the Republicans and
Populists of the Seventh congres
sional district would concentrate
on Col. Rankin of Calhoun. He
has been running against Judge
Maddox as an independent Demo
crat with silver proclivities. For
some time events have been shap
themselves for the withdrawal of
Massey, the Republican and Mc-
Garrity, the Populist, and the en
dorsement of Rankin, with a view
to the defeat of Judge Maddox.
The judge carried his district the
last time by a majority of about
2,000 votes.
It appears that the Republicans
and Populists have come together
or are fast coming together on a
scheme for a grand congressional
coup. The scheme no doubt ex
tends to other congressional dis
tricts and takes in the whole state.
They are moving with swiftness
and secrecy. No one seems to
have known that all this was be
hind the Populist meeting today.
Indeed, it seems to have been an
independent scheme, which is but
one branch of the general charge
which the two minority parties are
about to make on the Democratic
breastworks.

“A balloonist in Kansas,” says
the Chicago Chronicle, “fell 3,000
feet and made an eighteen inch
dent in the earth. But wait till
you see the dent Bryan will make.”
Then the Americus Herald re
marks: “Os course he will make;
a dent but it will be a presi-dent.” ■
Now it remains for some one to '
suggest that there really seems to
be no i-dent-ity of our next presi
dent.

Nervous
People find just the help they so much I
need, in Hood's Sarsaparilla. It fur
nishes the desired strength by puri
fying, vitalizing and enriching the
blood, and thus builds up the nerves,
tones the stomach and regulates the
whole system. Read this:
“I want to praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
My health run down, and I had the grip,
j After that, my heart and nervous system
were badly affected, so that I could not do
my own work. Our physician gave me
some help, but did not cure. I decided
to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Soon I could
do all my own housework. I have taken
Cured
Hood’s Pills with Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
’ and they have done me much good. I
will not be without them. I have taken 13
bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and through
the blessing of God, it has cured me.
I worked as hard as ever the past sum
mer, and I am thankful to say I am
well. Hood’s Pills when taken with
Hood’s Sarsaparilla help very much.”

THE OFFICIAL COUNT.
Large Demorcatic gains Through
out Georgia.
The official count of the vote in
the October election has been com
pleted and made public in Atlanta
and discloses the fact that Gov.
Atkinson got a majority over Mr.
Wright of 30,985. The regular
state house ticket got a majority
of 53,329. There is no question
but that this latter majority is the
fairest way of estimating the great
October contest. The fight made
on Gov. Atkijison was bitter, per
sistent and determined. In Rome,
Atlanta and other cities, his ma
jority was cut down heavily on ac
count of purely local reasons. Oth
er reasons that operated generally
throughout the state had a tenden
cy also to reduce his majority.
Hence the fairest way to estimate
the true democratic gains is by the
majority received by the regular
state house ticket.
The Supreme Court amendment
has a majority of 51,778. And that
providing for the election of state
school commissioner by the people
149,313. The total vote, as return
ed from various counties, which
includes every ballet cast, footsup
to 217,836. Mr. Wright ran ahead
of his ticket 7,280. The result is
a splendid vindication of the wise
and just administration of affairs
by the democratic party in Georgia.
Mr. A. S. Harper has severed his
connection with the Rome Tribune
and is now city editor of the Rome
Commercial, having purchased an
interest in that paper. Mr. Har
per is a talented newspaper writer
and his work would add to the in
terest of any paper. Mr. F. T.
j Reynolds, formerly editor of the
Dalton Citizen, assumes the posi
tion on the Tribune staff left va
cant by Mr. Harper.
