Summerville, Ga., July 8, 1909 Attorney General McCarn of Nashville, who siieeessf'ully pros ecuted the Coopers for the mur der of Senator E. W. Carmack, has announced his candidacy for governor of Tennessee. By unanimous vote of the house and senate, Senator A. S. Clay of Marietta, was elected I nited States senator from Georgia for a third term Tuesday. In order to encourage the building of cotton mills in Geor gia. Mr. Alexander, of Fulton county, has introduced a bill in the legislature to exempt from taxation all property used in the manufacture of cotton. It is claimed that since 186;> 2,500,000 white Southerners have left the South for other sections, ft will take many years <jf de sirable immigration to offset this, if we can ever offset it. But the reasons that may have at one time seemed to exist for leaving the South have now entirely dis appeared. There is no section that offers more opportunities or holds out greater hopes to indus try and intelligence than does tin South at this time says the Amer icus Tinics-llecorder. A constitutional convention to revise the state constitution is needed at this time, according to Representative J. S. Davis, of Dougherty. He has introduced a bill authorizing the governor to call an election to select dele gates to at'li a convention. Each county is made an election dis trict, and entitled to one dele gate for 15,000 inhabitants 'l’he Georgia Rural Letter Car riers association which met at Cordele Monday passed a resolu tion asking the legislature to pass a bill for state aid for good roads.

It appears already in the pre liminary proceedings of the legis lature in regard to the investi gation of the official acts of “As supmtion” McLendon. Chairman of the Railroad Commission, that partisan politics is playing an important part with some of the members. To white wash Mc- Lendon because he recently (-bang ed front and to the. position for merly occupied by Gov. Brown and for which position Brown was suspended would do Gov. Brown wing of the party. I can't believe for the above reason that an honorable representa tive would uphold an official who had so wantonly betrayed his trus Such men in office are a menace to the welfare of the country. He made himself quite conspicuous in the last gubernatorial race as advocating a redution in port rates and all railroad regulation. So much so that Gov. Smith appointed him to fill the vacan cy on that commission and was afterwards reelected on the same ground. Now he has turned tur tle, rides on a free pass and vot ed directly opposite to the posi tion he held when elected, and for excuse says he assumed too much. I am not in position to say what I believe is right on this important question, But I do say a man who will go square ly back on the platform upon ly back upon the platform up on which he was elected, let him be Smith man. a Brown man, a white man or a nigger should be “quashed” and that without ceremony. Such men and prin ciples are dangerous elements in any community, Any man is liable to be in error at times and take wrong positions upon ques tions and things, and 1 admire a man who has honor and forti tude sufficient to acknowledge, such. But when you find a man like that; you are just that cer tain to find one who, before he will vote diametrically or antag onistic to the position he held be fore elected and upon which po sition he was elected, will ten der his resignation. Then peo ple are ready to believe in his sincerely and not until then. We hope we have no representatives who will take a partisan or nar row view- of this question and uphold McLendon in his decep tion. To do so would be to place a premium on unfaithful officials acts. Such acts and do ings disgust a man with politics, and causes him to wonder if there are any honorable politicians in Isarel. J. V. W. Judge J. M. Bellah. one of Chattooga's most substantial and prosperous citizens, was in Rome yesterday, and paid the Tribune- Herald office a pleasant call. Judge Bellah, is of the best type of the country lawyer. He has for many years been judge of the County Court of Chattooga county, has a lucrative pratiee, and a fine farm of six hundred acres a short distance from Sum merville, on which he lives, and combines farming with his law practice. Judge Bellah is one of the most popular men in Chattoo ga county. If he has any ene mies they keep mighty quiet, and the names of his friends would make a pretty fair directory of the county in which he lives. Discussing farming operations in his section Judge Bellah says that although the rains have been excessive around there as every where else, nevertheless he don't think the yield of crops for 'this year will be below the standard Cl attooga is noted for its fine farming lands and beautiful crops and it is a rare season indeed, that the farmers of that county don't make a substantial profit off their year's work. Judge Bellah has rented out. most of his farm this year, and amuses himself by raising chickens and I hogs and a few other side issues. He is acquainted with most of the celebrities who have lived in 'this section during recent years, and told anecdotes and discussed the political situation in a most ' iuteiesting manner.—Tribune-Het 'aid.

Gordon Lee, of the county of Walker, and member of the 59th 60th and 61st congress, repre sents the Seventh Congressional District. This is one of the big gest and best in the state, with a population of 197,612, and com prising 13 counties. Mr. Lee was born May 29. 1859 on a farm near Ringgold, in Ca toosa county. He received his early education in the county schools and graduated from Emory' in ,1880. He is a farmer and manufacturer, with large in terests in those lines in and around his home, " Chickamau ga. He served as a member of the House of Representatives of Georgia in 1894 and 1895. He represented his district in the State Senate in 1902. 1903 and 1904. He was elected to the 59th congress and re-elected without opposition to the 60th and 61st. He succeeded Hon. John W. Maddox, and his services have been most satisfactory to his con stituents. Mr. Lee is known as Georgia’s “working congress man.” As a result the Seventh now has a perfect network of rural routes, extending from every county site and important town. He has secured Federal build ings for Rome, Dalton, Cedar town, Cartersville, and Marietta, important cities in his district. He has secured many miles of government roads along the line of march and through the battle fields of the armies in the war be tween the States. He has had the Coosa river placed on the list of those that permanently re receive appropriations from the government. In fact along ev ery line of endeavor he has been alert for the interests of his dis trict. Congressman Lee is interest ed in a number of important pro jects for the future. He is about to secure the enlargement of the National Park at Chickamauga, lie is working for a government post road to extend from Chat tanooga to Atlanta. His endeav ors are also continually exerted to secure the opening of the Coo sa river to navigation and he has made a special study of wa terway improvements. As a matter of course these activities have not been unnotic ed or unappreciated by his con stituents. Large numbers of them feel that he is the ablest con gressman the district has ever had and declare that no one else could fill his place, when any mention of retirement is made. That these sentiments are not confined to Georgia was recently shown in a striking way. A par ty of leading congressman recent ly visited Rome at the time of the Manufacturers’ and Mer chants' annual banquet. The par ty' included Congressmen Taw ney of Minnesota, Lawrence of Massachusetts, Burnett of Alaba ma, and Moon of Tennessee Without exception they” paid high tributes to the charater, ability and attainments of Mr. Lee. I'iiey declared that it would be the greatest folly to replace him with another man, who howev er able, could not hope for many years to attain the commanding position at present held by Air. Lee. No other man, said they, could hope to accomplish as much for the development of the Coosa and for the interests of the whole district as the present Congress man. Without regard to factional af filiations there are many men in all walks of life, farmers, merchants, and others who are firm friends of Air. Lee. and who are ready to support him for Congressman, Governor. Sen ator, or any other office within their gift.— Rome Tribune-Her ald Everyone would be benefitted by taking Foley’s Orino Laxative for stomach and liver trouble and habit ual constipation.

GEORGIA KJ fT THE ARTERIES. | I They Are Liable to Become Hardened In Old Age. _>- “A man is as old as his ’arteries,”, was said some time ago by a French physician, and the saying, like so. many others of the phrase loving French, has a good ‘al of truth in. it and not a little ei There is many a man, old in years, but young in spirit, whose arteries are like pipestems. So brittle do they seem, indeed, that the physi cian hardly dares feel the pulse lest he crush the friable artery under his finger, yet these old people are ac tive in mind and body and seem often much younger than men of but two-thirds their years. Again, one meets old and feeble folk, whose lives seem to flicker dangerously, like a candle flame in j a draft, whose arteries are as soft and compressible as those of a child. In general, however, the saying is true, and especially in premature old age it will usually be found that the arteries are hard, with fibrous thickening, if not already more or less calcified. Hardening of the blood vessels—arteriosclerosis is the accepted medical term —consists in a fibrous overgrowth of the walls of the arteries, usually following more or less degeneration of the normal tissues of the vessels. As to just how this comes about physicians are not entirely agreed. It is probable that the change occurs first in the very minute vessels, those that run through the walls of larger ves sels supplying them with blood for their nourishment.' When these are hardened by the deposit of fibrous tissue they carry less blood and carry it more slowly, and so the nu trition of the walls of the larger ves sels is reduced. This leads to sof tening, and then nature tries to re- 1 pair the damage by the only new tis-' sue at her hand —namely, fibrous tis sue. Later these fibrous and thickened , walls of the larger arteries may be hardened still more by a deposit of lime salts from the blood. . The arteriosclerosis so common in, old age is the result of “wear and ■ tear.” An elastic tube dilated by hydraulic pressure and then con tracting 10,000 times a day will have done much work by the end of seventy years.

Menlo, - - Ga. tenoscierosis is must commonly caused by intemperance —not in drinking opjy, but in eating, espe cially meat eating, without enough exercise to consume tlfe excess of nutrient material. Overwork, wor ry and chronic poisoning, such as lead poisoning, are also factors. The best thing for arteriosclerosis is not to get it, and the best way not to get it is to be moderate in every thing. People growing old should be examined medically every six months, and then incipient arterio sclerosis may be detected and per haps arrested by proper diet, drugs and regimen.—-Youth’s Companion. Cause of Her Mirth- A maid had just come over from Ireland, and a Brooklyn woman en gaged her. A bell hung in the girl’s room, and the morning after her ar rival her mistress rang the bell to get her up. But the maid did not get up, though the bell rang and rang. Finally, therefore, the mis tress herself rose, and, slipping on a dressing gown, she hastened to the new servant’s room. There, wide awake, the maid lay, laughing at the top of her lungs. “What on earth are you laughing at, Norah?” said the mistress. “Faith, mum,” Norah answered, “Oi’m laughin’ at that bell. As sure as Oi live Oi haven't touched it, an’ —jest see—it’s waggin’.”— Putnam’s. Vfhen to Cut Flowers. The best time to cut flowers is early in the morning, while the dew is upon them, or else during the evening. As soon as cut the stems should be placed in water, even if in a temporary way, if not conven ient to arrange them at once in their proper positions. When the flowers have to be pack ed early in the morning to be sent a long distance they must be cut extra early or, what is better, cut the pre vious evening and placed in water all night in a cool place which can be kept close. In this way they ab sorb all the water it is possible for them to do, being consequently fresher when unpacked. —Gardening Illustrated. One (Minute Gough Cure t'or Coughs, CoSds and Crouo-
