Sarony, who took so many pic
tures, has at last been taken him
self. —Augusta Herald.
Many people are wondering just j
now what opinion McKinley holds
concerning tho civil service rules.,
All men are fools twice in their :
lives —tirst when they are in love, j
and next when they are in a polit- j
ical campaign.
The financial question is settled
for the next four years; now let;
everybody go to work in earnest;
and make the most of the oppor
tunities given us to develop our
material and industrial resources, j
There seems to be some doubt J
whether the Republicans will have,
a sufficient majority in the next;
United States Senate to enable)
them to make any material increase j
in the present tariff schedule.
Bryan was defeated by something
like N(X>,OOO of the popular vote,
yet it is said that 36,000 of this
number, properly placed, would
have given him a majority of the
electoral vote.
If the capitalists of the north
will bring some of their money
down south and invest it in cotton
mills and other like industries it
will, in some degree console the
silver men for tho loss of their pet
measure. What is wanted is more
prosperous times, let it come from
whatever source it may.
A business block in Dallas, Tex
as, that cost Si’so,ooo five years
ago, was sold recently for SIOO,OOO.
Dallas is one of the most prosper
ous cities in the west and this fear
ful depreciation in property that
is so well and favorably located,
shows that there is something
wrong somewhere.
The recent decision of Judge]
Lumpkin in reference to cases
where lands had been sold by a
gents of loan companies for money
advanced to the owners thereof, is
exciting much interest throughout
the country. The decision in ques
tion will lie found in another part
of this issue of the News.
An effort is being made to get a
bill through the legislature provid
ing for the election of Justices and
bailiffs the last of December. The
idea is to prevent the necessity for
another registration of voters.
The present law says that all vo
ters must be registered twenty days
prior to an election, w hich conflicts
with the date of election for jus
tices and makes it necessary that
a change be made.
It has been freely predicted that
president-elect McKinley would
convene congress in extra session
immediately after March 4, for
the purpose of passing a bill to in
crease the present tariff tax rate.
The Diuglev bill, w hich provides
for a horizontal increase on the
present duties levied, and which
was introduced during the last ses
sion of congress, has been men
tioned as a possible compromise
measure.

The object lesson which the
trusts and corporations seek to ad
minister to the peo pie through a
sudden and systematic resumption
of trade and industry is the most
conclusive proof yet submitted of
the tremendous pow'er held by the
few —a power which is dangerous,
if for no other reason, because it is
founded on selfishness. We wel
come prosperity, but we deplore
the conditions upon which it is to
be meted out to us. — Macon News.
DELEGATES SELECTED
To Attend the Convention to Ee
Held in Atlanta Today.
According to previous notice
published in the News a goodly
number of the citizens of the coun
ty assembled in the court house
last Saturday at noon, to select
delegates to attend the convention
to be held in Atlanta today for the
purpose of nominating candidates
for supreme court judges made ]
necessary by the new law which
provides for three additional jus
tices.
Capt. Cleghorn was made chair
man, and J. W. Cain, secretary.
Capt. Cleghorn stated the object
of the meeting, when nominations
for delegates were in order.
Capt. Cleghorn and Judge Bellah
were put in nomination by C. L.
Odell, aud were elected. Messrs.
J. M. Wyatt, E. VV. Sturdivant, H.
B. Kirby and C. L. Odell were
elected alternates.
Some discussion was then had as
to whether the delegates would be
instructed or not. It was devel
oped that Judge Branham, of
Rome, was unanimously the first
choice of the meeting, and his can
didacy was accordingly endorsed
without a dissenting vote.
One or two ert'orts was made to
have this endorsement extended to
others in the race, but after a little
discussion this was abandoned.
T here being no other business
to transact the meeting then
adjourned.
Senatorial Question Settled.
The senatorial contest which
has been the absorbing theme of
interest throughout Georgia for
the last two weeks was settled last
Monday evening when Hon. Steve
Clay received the nomination on
tho first ballot after tho caucus met.
This settles a fight that will be
memorable in the political annals
of Georgia.
Os all the eminent gentlemen
who were candidates for the posi
tion Mr. Clay will, perhaps, give
as general satisfaction to the peo
ple as any of them. He is com
paratively a young man, hardly
yet in the prime of his physical
and mental powers. He has ren
dered distinguished service to the
party, and the people generally,
and has proven his worth and cap
ability in every position in which
he has been placed. Now that he
has been honored with the highest
otlice in the gift of the people of
Georgia there is every reason to
believe that he will be equal to the
trust reposed in him, and that
Georgians will have no reason to
regret the action of their repre
sentatives in the General Assembly.
—* • ♦ ■.
In his letter of acceptance, which
has at last been given to the pub
lic, Thomas E. Watson says that
the Populists are patriots and may
be depended upon always to vote
for principle. It seems that Mr.
Watson was slightly mistaken
when he undertook to speak for
some of his brethren. It is quite
a well known fact that a large
number of Populists throughout
the state voted for McKinley in
the .last election, thus giving their
! aid and help to the man who
stands for the gold standard, for
high taritY and ail sorts of trusts
and monopolies.
Mr . Calvin, of Richmond, has
introduced a Rill providing for a
a contract to paint the portraits
of forty-one eminent Georgians,
the pictures, when completed to be
hung on the capitol walls. The
portrait of Senator Hill cost SI,OOO
and at hat rate Mr. Calvin's bid
would require an appropriation of
$41,000. The General Assembly
should sit on Mr. Calvin and his
bill hard. The idea of expending
that amount of money for the pur
pose indicated is. under existing
conditions, almost preposterous.
Mr. McCook, the gentleman from
Chattahoochee, has introduced a
bill to protect possums, and says
if it don't pass he will go to Aus
tralia where he can catch kanga
roos. He ought to go to Arizona
and join the wild asses of the des
ert. He’d be more at home there
‘ than iu the Georgia legislature.

SIOO Reward SIOO.
The readers of this joaper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medi
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature
in doing its svork. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars Reward for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials. Address,

Hall’s Family Pills are the best.
The Teachers’ Pay.
It sems that the pay of the
teachers in the public schools of
the state has been delayed and
State School Commissioner Glenn
explains the delay to be a lack of
funds in the treasury. It has been
stated that an attempt had been
made to borrow the necessary funds
for that purpose but this report
has been denied by those in author
ity.
There are 8,000 teachers in the
state, and it is stated that $350,-
000 is needed to pay the salaries
now due. It.is now the impres
sion that the money will not be
forthcoming until the taxes are
collected and paid into the state
| treasury.
Nourish
Him.
That's the whole secret in a
word. We can cure no disease
unless we can keep up the pa
tient's strength. And there's
only one way to do that —feed
him. But if the system refuses
food? Then use SCOTT'S
EMULSION of Cod-liver Oil
with Hypophosphites. It goes
STRAIGHT TO THE BLOOD,
stops the wasting, rekindles
the vital fire, makes new flesh
and so renders a hopeful fight
possible against ANY disease.
Especially is this so in bron
chial and lung troubles, in the
relief and cure of which Scott's
Emulsion has won its reputa
tion. Book about it free.
Scott’s Emulsion is no mysterious
mixture. It is palatable, non-nauseat
ing and infinitely preferable to the
plain oil, Ihe genuine has our trade
mark on salmon-colored wrapper. Get
the genuine.

Boils
It is often difficult to convince peo
ple their blood is impure, until dread
ful carbuncles, abscesses, boils, scrof
ula or salt rheum, are painful proof of
the fact. It is wisdom now, or 'when
ever there is any indication of
Impure
blood, to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and
prevent such eruptions and suffering.
“I had a dreadful carbuncle abscess,
red, fiery, fierce and sore. The doctor at
tended me over seven weeks. When the
abscess broke, the pains were terrible, and
I thought I should not live through it. I
heard and read so much about Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, that I decided to take it, and
my husband, who wa3 suffering with
boils, took it also. It soon purified our
BP ]fl
i COCI
built me up and restored my health so
that, although the doctor said I would
not be able to work hard, I have since
done the work for 20 people. Hood s Sar
saparilla cured my husband of the boils,
and we regard it a wonderful medicine.”
