SUMMERVILLE NEWS 81 00 Per Year In Advance. J. W, CAIN, Editor and Proprietor. EDNA CAIN, Associate Editor. Summervii.i.e, Ga., Nov I>, 1596- Entered at Summerville P. O. as sec 0 2*l class matter. 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. ■—— ♦ w • 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. LYERLY, GA. Rev.

Michael. 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.

Cheney & Co., Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists, 75c. 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?

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.” Mrs. Anna Peterson, Latimer, Kansas. Hood’s , Sarsaparilla Is the One True Blood Purifier.
