THOUSANDS
OF HEN
Working And Watching
Day And Night
TO PROTECT THE LEVEES.
Tremendous Rainfall In The
Flooded District.
Memphis, April 14.—The river
continues to slowly rise at Vicks
burg and all points soutl, and the
situation along the Louisiana levee
system is serious. The waters arc
being hurled gulf ward with tremen
dous force and several thousand
men are working and watching day
and night in one grand effort to
hold th* 3 embankment intact.
Reports from the overflowed Mis
sissippi delta are not encouraging.
The expected fall in the waters
that extend for miles and miles
over the fertile valley has not oc
curred. Many well known plant
ers express the fear that the yel
low stream will not recede until
June —too late to plant this year’s
crop.
Throughout the overflowed area
rain fell in torrents last night and
part of today. At memphis the
river is stationary tonight. As the
river is rising at Cairo, and as the
rainfall throughout the territory
draining into the Mississippi at
Memphis and above has been heavy,
the local observer predicts that du
ring the ensuing twenty-four hours
there will probably be a slight rise
at this point.

That the North is awaking to
the opportunities of the South is
shown in the following from an ar
ticle in The Press of Wisconsin :
“The South is richer far in natural
resources than men have yet reali
zed. She has wealth of sun and
soil, of fruit and forest and miner
al, and it is only necessary that
her tremendous energies shall be
concentrated and directed to the
development of her natural wealth
to astonish the civilized world
Capital will go (with security as a
i condition precedent) wherever it
shall find the richest reward, and
that capital is satisfied with the
‘ prospect in the South is made
manifest by the recent removal of
manufacturing plants from their
old fields in the North to newer
' and rich fields in the South. Pop
! ulation and wealth will follow
them, and it is no wild freak of
fancy that foresees the time when
the relative strenght of the North
and South in men and money
shall be materially changed: when
the furnace fires of Alabama and
Georgia shall become the torches
of industrial victorv and the spin
dles of South Carolina and Missis
sippi shall hum their song of joy
for the Southern resurrection.”

GEORGIA SILVERITE,
After a Trip to Mexico Comes In
to the Sound Money Camp.
Atlanta, April 13.—Henry W
Reid, the Georgia member’ of the
populist national committee, a
staunch friend of Tom Watson,
and who did so much to keep him
and Bryan apart, has declared him
self for sound money. He is largely
interested in mining in Mexico
and recently visited that country.
On his return he said :
“Business is business, and as the
country has gone for gold, there is
no reason why I should go against
my own interest for the sake of
politics.”
Democrats Have- Only to Wait.
We have yet to note the arrival
of that prosperity so confidently
predicted under the rule of McKin
ley and the republican party. Nor
do we see any signs of its coming,
though McKinley was elected five
months ago.
Meanwhile the Democratic party
is rapidly regaining its strength.
Town and county elections nearly
everywhere show it. Even in old
New’ England the change since No
vember is astonishing, nearly all
the town elections there resulting
in sweeping Democratic triumphs.
If a new President w’ere to be elec
ted to-day we feel absolutely sure
that he would be a democrat.
The Dingley tariff bill and the
juggling of the republicans at
Washington disgusts the country-
The republican party is beginning
to show' again that it is to-day what
*t has alw’ays been—the friend of
rings and trusts and combines and
the enemy of the people.
We repeat what we said some
time ago, that if things go on as
they are it will not be worth while
for the republicans to nominate
anybody in J9OO. The Democrats
will win by the biggest majority in
our history.—New York World.
The old curfew law has been put
into force in Alabama City, and is
having a’most wholesome effect on
both young and old . The curfew
bell is rung at 9 o’clock every
night, and the streets after time
are as silent as graveyards. The
working of the law has been
found to be most satisfactory, and
the people of Alabama City hearti
ly reccommend it to other small
cities in the state.
In speaking of one of the ablest
and brightest young men in Geor
gia the Charleston Sun saos: “By
the retirement of Captain Evan P.
Howell from the position of editor
of the Atlanta Constitution, Mr.
Clark Howell assumes entire con
trol of the greatest newspaper be
tween Baltimore and New Orleans,
a splendid position to have won at
his age for we do not believe that
he is much beyond, thirty. It is
not the years that a man has lived,
however, but what he has crowded
into them w r hich gives one experi
ence.
Spring Medicine is a necesity
which Hood’s Sarsaparilla grandly
supplies. It purifies and vitalizes
the blood and thus gives tone and
strength to the whole system.
The largest purchase of cotton
ever made from a Georgia planter
was m:.do Saturday by B. B. Ford
& Co., cotton buyers, of Macon
The cot.un purchased was some
thing over 2,000 bales, and every
bale of it was grown on the planta
tion of Mr. James M. Smith, in
Oglethorpe county, and sold by
him to B. B. Ford& Co., of Macon.
The sale involved a transaction of
about $70,000, on a basis of 7
cents, and just as soon as all the
cotton can be weighed a check for
the entire amount will be handed
to Mr. Smith.

SPANIARDS PLEASED.
With the Administration’s Poli
cy and Promise Cuban
Reforms.
Madrid, April 14. Political and
diplomatic circles in Madrid are
animatedly discussing the improve
ment of the prospects of Spanish
rule in Cuba, in consequence, it is
said, of an active exchange of con
fidental and unofficial communi
cations between the United States
and Spanish government since
McKinley and Sherman tcok of
fice.
It seems that Spanish diploma
cy has intimated at Washington
that Spain cannot entertain any
suggestion of American mediation
in Cuba, but with the continuance
of the present poli;y of the Wash
ington authoritses better rule in
Cuba is in prospect.
Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of June*
tion City, 111., was told by her doc
tors she had consumption and that
there was no hope for her, but tw'o
bottles of Dr. King’s New Discov
ery completely cured her and she
says it saved her life. Mr. Thos.
Eggers, 139 Florida St., San Fran
cisco, suffered from a dreadful
cold, approaching consumption,
tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of Dr.
King’s New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. It is such results of
which these samples, that prove
the wonderful efficacy of this med
icine in coughs and colds. Free

And now comes Capt. “Ya ik’
Sims with the tale of a snake that
surpassed all others stories to date.
While walking in his ho-se let a
day or two ago, he found a bunch
of three snakes of a species differ
ent from any he had ever seen. T!:o
largest measure nine feet and was
as large as a man’s arm, while the
others were about half that size.
Mr. Sims killed the snakes with a
hoe. —Americus Times-Recorder.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers
have recently perfected an ingen
ious cure for dyspepsia. The Di
gestive Cordial consists of a food
already digested and a digester of
foods happily combined.
The importance of this inven-
I • •
tion will be appreciated when we
realize what a proportion of the
comunity are victims of some form
of stomach troubles. Thousands
of pale, thin people have little in
clination to eat, and what they do
eat causes them pain and distress.
This Digestive Cordial of the
■ Shakers corrects any stomach -
rahgement at once. It makes thin
• people plump. Every one will be
greatly interested to read the lit
tle book which has been placed in
the hands of druggists for free dis
tribution.
