THE BIG THREE
Who Will Seek To Control
Georgia Politicsl
HOWELL, DUBIGNIN AND CLIY
These Three Will Join
Forces And Try to Lead
The Democratic
Host.
Even at this early date the politi
cal cohort) of th) djmosracy are
grooming and arming for the next
gubernatorial fray. There will be
no lack of leaders, and there will
be no failure in interest and enthu
siasm among the ardent supporters
of each ch imoio i and his cause,
says the Augusta Herald.
There is any am )imt of t dk and
prophecy and a wh do phahnx of
dark horses. But at the present
writing there seems to be only
three distinct and well defined can
didates. Various little boomlets
will bubble along and burst as time
goes, but in the meantim) there
are three strong and logical candi
dates that are occupying the field
to the exclusion of the others.
The boom of J. Pope Brown, the
man who owns Pulaski county, who
is president of the state agricultu
ral society, one of the best and most
successful farmers in the state, has
been fairly launched and is gather
ing force and volume each day.
Personally and politically, Pope
Brown is one of the fairest and
squarost mon in the state. He
counts his friends by the thousands
and in every way will measure up
to the requirements of the execu
tive office.
He is a man of splendid business
judgment and acumen and would
carry to the gubernatorial chair
more hard headed common sense
and rugged practical methods of
dealing with things than any otl er
candidate before the people. But
Pope Brown is not a politician in
the same class with his competitors,
and he must engage the services of
an expert business manager, if he
wants to make the same show be
fore the nominating convention.
The attorney general, in one view
of the case, is the next in line of
the Atkinson succession, and many
expect to see the mantle of office
fall on his shoulders. Joe Terrell
is looked upon as one of the smart
est politicians in the state. He is
a great manipulator and manager
and having shown his talent in this
line in the behalf of others, he may
be looked upon to do even better
for himself. The line of cleavage
between Atkinson and his friends
and those of dußignon and Clay,
as developed in the recent senato
rial election, will still be found
working in the effort to control
the next state convention. For
many reasons, Atkinson will eti
deaver to defeat dußignon for the
senate. He will be glad to do this
with Joe Terrell if he can; if not
with Terrell, then with some other
good man, and this is where the
dark horse comes in. There is no
disputing the fact that dußignon
is now the most formidable candi
date for the office and that he has
friends working for him all the
way from the Blue Ridge to the At
lantic.
But the new political triumvirate
that is destined to play such an im
portant part in Georgia politics in
the future is composed of Messrs.
Clark Howell, Flem dußignon and
Steve Clay. The elements of
strength in such a coalition are
manifest. Clark Howell, with the
Atlanta Constitution behind him,
can render valiant service to the
triumvirate, and in case they are
successful in capturing the
Howell and the Constitution will
still continue to pose as represen
tatives of the state in national pot
ties.
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS.
Flem dußignon probably knows
more of the active state politicians
and can put his hands on them in
firmer and better shape than any
man in the state.
While Steve Clay, with his open
face and hand, and constant wil
lingness to pull his coat off and
work for his friends, has built up
a strength in North Georgia that
is as solid as Gibraltar and which
has gradually crept all over the
state.
Clay is for dußignon for gover
nor, first, last and all the time.
‘“Yes,” said’he in talking over the
matter, “I told Flem that when
ever he wanted me just to let. me
know, and lam ready to pull off
my coat and go to work. You
know he helped me in my race for
the senate aud me and my people
in North Georgia are for him far
governor to a man.”

Large Sums of Money Shipped
South Daily to Help Move
The Crops.
New York, Sept. 1. —A canvas
of the leading banks in this city
shows that large sums of money
are being shipped south daily to
help move the crops. One of the
most prominent financial institu
tions here has sent about $700,000
since the middle of last week and
orders are still coming in. The
sub-treasury at this city has not
had so many currency orders as
was usuai, but this is ascribed to
the lateness of the" crops in the
southwest.
Altogether it is estimated that
fully $5,000,000 of “crop money”
has been shipped from this city
the past fortnight. The southern
credits are in better shape just
now than they have been in several
years, and the general outlook in
that section and the southwest as
viewed from here is equally bright.
Dr. Tichner’s Antiseptic is the
most wonderful healing compound
offered the public. For abrasion
of the skin, laceration of the flesh ;
burns by flame or steam, hot me
tal, rope-burn, sun-burn; ring
worm, “poison oak,” etc., it is pre
eminently superior to anything.

A Note of Warning,
Colonel Wilkinson, a prominent
republican of Valdosta, writes The
Macon Telegraph that he prefers
negro office holders in Georgia to
free silver and Bryanism.
The Breeze has advocated the
gold standard and is not yet a free
silverite, although our party de
clared for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at its last nation
a convention, but when it comes
to a choice of free silver or the hu
miliation of the white people of
the south, we are for the former.
We are a southern, a Georgian
and a democrat; after these come
the question of free silver, gold
standard, etc.
There is an object lesson for
democrats in the attitude of this
republican politician. It is evident
that the republicans have made up
their minds to stoop to anything
in order to get control of the affairs
of Georgia. It, therefore, behooves
all true Georgians to get together
for the common good of the state.
By quarreling and fighting among
ourselves we are liable to all sorts
of humiliation and defeat.
Look for the facts demonstrated
by experience. Thousands and
thousands of people suffering from
the effects of impure blood have
been cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla.

Mrs, Felton’s Address.
From The Hartford, Conn.,
Times.
Mrs. Felton is a woman of rare
ability and force. She is no crank,
but a real leader in affairs, and her
words express the genuine feeling
of the Georgia white people. The
crimes by the negroes certainly are
not decreasing and the lynchings
are increasing in frequency from
week to week. It is yet to be de
monstrated, we think, that it is
possible for the whites and the
blacks to live together permanent
ly in large numbers in any country,
except in the relation which exist
ed in the south prior to 1863. The
whole situation in the south at
the present time favors the devel
opment of the negro into a crim
inal, and we do not see how it
is to be radically and effectively
changed.
“My boy came home from schoo

and applied Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm freely. All pain ceased, and
in a remarkably short time it heal
ed without leaving a scar. For
wounds, sprains, swelling and
rheumatism, I know of no medi
cine or prescriplion equal to it. I
consider it a household necessi
ty.” The 25 and 50 cent sizes

As a matter of fact, the adher
ence of the republican p arty to its
old policy of appointing negroes to
important offices in the south is
rather beueficial than otherwise to
the Democratic party. A promi
nent Georgia physician, who voted
for Palmer and Bucker, said the
other day: “I had about made up
my mind to become a republican ,
until McKinley appointed Rucker;
now I am confirmed in my alleg
iance to the old line democracy,
whatever its platform may be. I
will never again give even nega
tive support co a republican in the
hope that he may be constrained
to treat the south decently.”
Every black republican office hol
der will be regarded as a standing
argument against factionalism and
dissensions in democrat ranks.—

Toronto, Ont-, Sept. I.—Advices
received here report that by to

There has been no frost sufficient
to damage the wheat in Manitoba

threshed. The crop will be the
largest in the history of the north

If your bicycle becomes frighten
ed and relieves itself of your a

delighted with the result of the ap
plication.
The following recipe was clipped
from the Detroit Free Press, whore
is substantially endored by several
persons who have known of its be
ing tried with good results in cur
ing cancers. Surely is should be
widely circulated, as there seems
to be no doubt as to its efficacy in
the cases mentioned. The recipe
is as follows : Half an oz. of sweet
oil, half an oz. of mutton tallow,
half an oz. of castile soap, and
half a teaspoonful of morphine.
Spread thickly on a cloth and ap
ply to the cancer. A small one
will come out in 12 hours, but a
large one will make three days.
When the roots are all out, heal
the wound with mutton tallow. If
the piocess is painful, take a little
morphine, always under a physi
cian’s direction. The plaster
should be changed frequently,
and it is best not to make it
too thick, so the drawing will be
gradual and the roots ba not bro
ken.
