Sam Jones says: “1 would just
as soon go to Alaska for pineapples

The San Jose scale, a very destruc

spreading rapidly in Georgia, and
fruit growers are alarmed at its
ravages.
Eloquent Bob Berner is out of
the race for governor, but will be a

Sixth district against Bartlett, the

If the legislature will pass a good
convict bill and pitch Judge New

Rock by the Sea,” all will be for
given.
The legislature will make a

out passing a law providing for
a proper disposition of the con

Judging by the pathetic ap
peals to delinquents to be seen in
some of our exchanges the abiding
place of the country editor seems
to be between the sherilf and the
deep sea.

The newspapers of Georgia can
accomplish almost any reform
tLey wish, if they will but uni’e
and go to work in earrest. Ballot
reform is one of the things that is
badly needed, and the newspapers
ought to unite in demanding it.
The News does not believe that
a law providing for the election
of judges and solicitors by the
people would be for the best in
terests of the state. The present sys
tem of elections by the legislature is
bad enough, in all conscience, but
an election by the people would be
worse.
The sentiment in favor of bal
lot reform is growing, and it is on
15’ a question of time when some
sort of legislation on that line
will be passed in Georgia. The
need of such legislation is becoming
more apparent every year to those
who have given the matter the
closest study, and it is reasona
bly certain to come in the near fu
ture.

Georgia farmers raised last year
1,300,000 bales of cotton vaiued at
about $40,000,000. If this cotton
could have been manufactured at
home the value of the crop would
have been increased three fold, if
not more, and thousands of people
given employment at remunerative
wages. The south is the natural
home of the cotton manufacturing
industry, and Georgia should have
her share of the new mills thatare
being built in this section by north
ern capital.
Col. Bill and Col, Gill.
The story of ’‘The Hon. Bill
Clifton’s Discouragement” »s writ
ten by Mr. R. B. Cramer in last
Friday’s Constitution, was a rarely
delightful glimpse of the humor
ous side of legislative affairs.
There are patriotic and liberty
loving citizens all over Georgia
who, at some time or other, have
known Bill Clifton’s friendly hand
clasp with its accompanying whack
on the back; and have never been
able to forget it. These will read
with keen delight of how Col.
Bill’s pugilistic affability was dis
couraged by an ax in the hands of
the delicate and desperate Col.
Gill, of Philadelphia.

In Jail For Forgery.
.J. L. Shope, who lires on Dr. Bry
ant’s farm was put in jail last night
for forging a cotton weigher’s bill on
Trion Mfg Co. By some means he
got hold of a blank used by the weigh
ers and duplicated a bill for several
bales of cotton belonging to another
man. The two bills aroused the sus
picion of Mr. Myers and last night he
was arrested. There seems to be no
doubt of his guilt as if all reports be
true the evidence is plain and conclu
sive. The amount of the forgery was
about 8127.
Mrs. Mickle and Miss Douglas
Mickle, who have been the pleasant

during the past three months, ’eft yes

Mobile but will stop at their summer
home in Brewton, Ala., until all dan
ger from fever is past in the city.
The Board of Education met yester
day and decided that next year the
public school money would be paid out
per capita, instead of on average atten
dance. This latter plan has been in
force the present year, and has not given
complete satisfaction. ,It was believed
the per capita plan was best theiefore it
was adopted.
Invitations has been received by
friends of Mr. J. N. Kiker here to his
wedding with Mrs. Catherine Cleghorn
Scovil, VVedneseay, Dec. Sth at the
Melhodis Episcopal church, Oglethorpe
Ga. During Mr. Kiker’s term as court
stenographer of this judicial circuit he
won many friends here all of whom
extend the heartiest wishes on the
occasion of his marriage. Mr. and
Mrs. Kiner will reside at Americus.
Miss Bessie Knox, who is a student
at the Girls’ Normal and Industrial
school at Milledgeville, is making ex
cellent progress in her studies. The
report for the last month shows that
in seven studies she made an average
of'JO to 100, the latter being rated as
the perfect mark. Miss Bessie is very
studious, highly ambitious and it goes
without saying that she will thorough
ly improve the excellent opportunities
afforded by the G. N. & I. school.

Just as'"
Good
as Scott’s and we sell It much
cheaper,” is a statement sometimes
made by the druggist when Scott’s
Emulsion is called for. This shows
that the druggists themselves regard
Scott's
Emulsion
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophos
phites of Lime and Soda as the
standard, and the purchaser who
desires to procure the ** standard ”
because he knows it has been of
untold benefit, should not for one
instant think of taking the risk of
fusing some untried prepa
ration. The substitution
of something said to be
“just as good” for a stand
ard preparation twenty
five years on the market,
should not be permitted by
the intelligent purchaser.
Be sure you get SCOTT’S Emulsion. Se«

following resolutions and oblige the
undersigned.
Whereas, there seems to be a vast
number of our people, not only in the
state, but throughout the country, who
are engaged in making and selling
ardent spirits contrary to the laws of
Georgia and of the United States,
and
Whereas, such conduct upon the
part of our people leads to immorali
ty, lawlessness, debauchery and
crimes of the most heinous type, and
Whereas, we believe that each and
every citizen of this broad lands of ours
i« more or less responsible for the pres
ent slate of affairs, therefore be it re
solved :
1. That we pledge ourselves to use
our inlluence in trying to prevent the
further spread of this evil, and if pos
sible rid our country of it altogether.
2. That we appeal to people every
where, in the name of law and order;
in the name of all that is humane,
just and right: for the sake of socie
ty; for your own sakes, and for the sake
of the rising and succeeding genera
tion, to strike hands with us in try
ing to nd dur country of this foe.

In Feeble Health
Unable to do Her Work - Nervous
and Tired-All These Troubles
Cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
“ For the past four years I have been in
feeble health, and for two years past,
owing to change of climate, I have not
been able to do my work. I was nervous
and had a tired feeling and was under the
treatment of physicians, but I continually
grew worse. My husband insisted on my
trying Hood's Sarsaparilla and I finally
consented, and began taking it the first of
June, 1896. The first bottle did me so
much good that I continued with it, and
after taking four bottles and one bottle of
Hood’s Pills I am able to do my work,
and the tired, nervous feeling is entirely
cured.” Mbs. G. N. Hosea, Suwanee, Ga.
