GOVERNOR'S APPOINTMENTS,
Were Sent to The Senate
Last Wednesday.
Mr. James E. Brown, ofNewnan,
Is Appointed State
Librarian.
Gov. Atkinson last Wednesday
sent the following nominations to
the senate which were confirmed
in executive session.
Judge Spencer R. Atkinson to
be railroad commissioner for the
term of six years from October 15,
1897.
James E. Brown, of Newnan, to
be state librarian for the term of
four years beginning September
27,1897.
These appointments were imme
diately confirmed by the senate.
Gov. Atkinson has tendered the
seat on the supreme bench, which
will be vacated by Justice Spencer
R. Atkinson to Judge Samps Har
ris, of Coweta county, and it will
no doubt be accepted.
Colonel Hal T. Lewis,'of Greens
boro, withdrew his name from con
sideration for the place of railroad
commissioner Monday, as he did
not wish to embarrass the gover
nor.
The appointment of Associate
Justice Spencer R. Atkinson to the
position of railroad commissioner
came as a distinct surprise to the
legislators and politicians general
ly. Judge Atkinson had not serv
ed half his term to which he was
elected by the legislature less than
three years ago. That Judge At
kinson will make an efficient com
missioner is not dcubted. He has
made an excellent justice of the
supreme court and the feeling of
lawyers will be one of regret that
he is to leave the bench. He is
attentive, quick, courteous and ex
tremely able. Prior to Judge At
kinson’s elevation to the supreme
bench he was respectively solicitor
general and judge of the Bruns
wick circuit. He is one of the
strongest men in south Georgia,
and has personal and political
friends all over the state. The
new railroad commissioner is dis
tantly related to the governor.
Judge Sampson W. Harris, who
has been tendered and who will no
doubt the position made vacant by
Atkinson’s appointment, is regard
ed as one of the ablest and most
intelligent of the state’s superior
court j udges. For the past sixteen
years he has been judge of the
Coweta circuit, and is greatly be
loved by the people of that circuit.
He never has opposition and in
the event of his failure to accept
the governor’s offer he could no
doubt hold his present position for
life.
Judge Harris was an applicant
for the position of railroad com
missionership, but it is thought the
supreme court will be more to his
liking. He made a fine race for
supreme court judge before the
last Democratic convention. He
is one of the governor’s warmest
personal fiiends, and his speech at
the famous Newnan ’possum sup
per given the governor was the hit
of the occasion.
The new state librarian is the
editor of the Newnan Herald and
Advertiser. He has served in the
hcuse and senate and twice as post
master at Newnan under President
Cleveland. Mr. Brown is an able,
forceful writer, and has long been
one of Governor Atkinson’s most
loyal and devoted friends.
Another appointment of state
interest which will follow as a nat
ural sequence if Judge Harris goes
on the supreme bench is the ap
pointment of Hon. Warner Hill,
of Meriwether county, as judge of
the Coweta circuit.
It will be seen that the governor
has hit both north and south
Georgia with these appointments,
and the politicians are a little too
dumbfounded just at this time to
discuss their political significance.
the standpoint of personal
fitness, it is stated generally that
the governor could have done no
better.
Mr. Brown, the newly appointed
librarian, said this afternoon that
Miss Jewett, the present assistant
librarian, would probably retain
her place until January Ist at
least.

TRIBESMEN ACTIVE.
Fierce Attack Upon The British
Troops In India.
Simla, Nov. 2. —Insurgents tri
besmen in Maidan valley were very
active all day today. They made
fierce attacks upon the British
pickets, reconnoitering partiesand
transport detachment. Two Brit
ish officers weiie wounded, six Se
poys were killed and thirteen Se
poys wounded.
It is Bad.
Very bad policy to neglect symp
toms of trouble in the kidneys. If
allowed to develop they cause
much suffering and sorrow.
Bright’s disease, diabetes and drop
sy owe their great prevalence and
fatality to neglect of the first
warning symptoms. Dr. J. H.
McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm
is a certain cure.for any disease or
weakness of the kidneys. A trial
will convince you of its great po
tency. Price SI.OO a bottle.

To Cure Catarrh.
Do not depend upon snuffs, in
halants or other local applications.
Catarrh is a constitutional disease
and can be successfully treated on
ly by means of a constitutional
remedy like Hood’s Sarsaparilla
which thoroughly purifies the
blood and removes the scrofulous
taints which cause catarrh. The
great number of testimonials from
those who have been cured of ca
tarrh by Hood’s Sarsaparilla prove
the unequalled power of this med
icine to conquer this disease. If
troubled with Catarrh give Hood’s
Sarsaparilla a fair trial at once.
Gen Longstreet In Office.
Washington, Nov. 2.—Gen.
James Longstreet took the oath of
office as commissioner of rail
roads today and began his new du
ties.
Governor Atkinson has accepted
an invitation to be present at the
annual dinner of the Connecticut
Society at Hartford on the 22nd
of next February. This dinner is
counted upon to be the most no
table in the history of the society.
A feature of it is to be the pres
ence of the governors of all the
original thirteen states, most of
whom have already signified the
acceptance of the invitation to be
there.
Pains in the small of the back
indicate a diseased condition of
the kidneys. Owing to the danger
ous nature of the diseases which
attack these organs it is importan
that measures should be taken to
remove the trouble before it has
become too firmly fixed. Prudence
would suggest the prompt use of
Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kid
ney Balm, which has specific ac
tion on the liver and kidneys, and
will cause an early restoration to
healthy conditions. Price $1 a
bottle.

NAPOLEON’S LAST WORDS.
Dying Thoughts of The Man
Whom Europe Feared.
On the death, bed Napoleon ex
pressed his conviction that Eng
land would go like the proud Re
public of Venice.
With perfect composure he gave
his last directions. “I desire that
you will take my heart, put it in
spirits of wine and carry it to Par
ma to my dear Maria Louise; you
will tell her that I never ceased to
love her, and relate to her every
particular respecting my death up
on this miserable and dreary rock.
You will tell my mother and fam
ily that the great Napoleon'expired
in the most deplorable state, de
prived of everything, abandoned to
himself and to his glory, and that
he bequeathed with his dying
breath to all the reigning families of
Europe the horror and opprobrium
of his death.”
The second codicil of his will
contained the direction which was
afterward complied with : “It is
my wish that my ashes may re
pose on the banks of the Seine in
the midst of the French people
whom I love so well.’
On the sth of May, 1821, he who
had for years kept all Europe in a
state of feverish excitement, ter
minated his earthly career.
After lying in state two days, the
the body was deposited in a coffin
composed first of tin lined with
white satin, which having been sol
dered, was inclosed in another of
mahogony, a third of lead, and the
the whole in a fourth of mahogo
ny secured with iron screws. Af
ter the ceremony, an enormous
stone was lowered over the body
resting on a stone wall so as to es
cape the coffin.
On the 12th of May, Louis Phil
ippe commanded that the ashes of
Napoleon be conveyed to France.
In his communication he said:
“Henceforth France, alone will pos
sess all that remains of Napoleon ;
his tomb, like his fame, will belong
to none but his country.'’
At 11 o’clock December 12, the
first cannon was heard announcing
that the remains of the emperor
had reached French ground. Amid
the vast assemblage the body was
borne by 24 seamen to its last
resting-place in the Hotel des In
valids.
So closed the eventful career of
the great Napoleon, whose memory
can only perish with the records of
the world-
The True Remedy.
W. M. Repins, editor Tiskilwa,
111., “Chief,” says : “We won’t keep
house without Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds. Experiment with many
others, but never got the true rem
edy until we used Dr. King’s New’
Discovery. No other remedy can
take its place in our home, as in it
w r e have a certain and surecurefor
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough
etc.” It is idle to experiment with
other remedies, even if they are
urged on you as just as good as Dr.
King’s New Discovery. They are
not as good, because this remedy
has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to sat
isfy. Trial bottles free at Arringtons
