GOOD FOR EVERYBODY
and everyone needs It at all times of the
year. Malaria is always about, and the
only preventive and relief is to keep the
Liver active. You must help the Liver a bit,
and the best helper is the Old Friend, SIM
MONS Liver regulator, the Red Z.
Mr. C. Himrod, of Lancaster, Ohio,
says: “SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR
broke a case of Malarial Fever of three
years’ standing for me, and less than
one bottle did the business. I shall use
it when in need, and recommend it.’’
Be sure that you get it. Always look for
the RED Zon the package. And don’t
forget the word REGULATOR. It is SIM
MONS LIVER REGULATOR, and there is
only one, and every one who takes it is
sure to be benefited. THE BENEFIT IS
ALL IN THE REMEDY. Take it also for
Biliousness and Sick Headache ; both are
caused by a sluggish l.iver.

When they were in session last week,
a pretty thorough canvass of the national
democratic committee was made by the
the World’s Washington correspondent
for the purpose of finding out the prefer
ences of the committeemen for the dem
ocratic presidential nomination. Os the
forty who responded to questions, more
preferred Mr. Cleveland than any other
man that was named, but not a sixth of
the members expressed themselves in
favor of him. Mr. Morrison, of Illinois,
was the next favorite. The feeling among
the committeemen seemed to bethat the
■democratic nominee is not vet in sight.
If the views of the committee on the
money question indicate anything, it is
that the national democratic platform will
not favor free silver coinage, and that a
free silver coinage man will not be nom

THE ARGUS: DALTON. GA. SATURDAY JANUARY 25. 1896.
BISHOP ATI'K'UN IIAYOOOU.
All Georgia, regardless of sect or creed,
is in mourning over the death of one of
the state’s greatest and best men —Bishop
Atticus G. Haygood, of the Methodist
' Episcopal Church, South. He died at his
home in Oxford, Saturday last, after a
long and painful illness, and was interred
'Tuesday, with all the respect ami honor
due his exalted position and wonderful
popularity.
Bishop Haygood, who will be remem
bered by the older people as a former
! presiding elder of this district ami citizen
of Dalton, was one of the most remark
able magnetic men Georgia has ever pro
duced. Os him a chronicler truly says:
From bis youth up he waa noted for Ids clear
convictions, Ids moral courage and bis intel
lectual power. There wax about him something
of the apostolic fervor and feHrh ssnesk He wax
a great preacher before he had reached the age
of thiriy and the fathers in the Southern Metii
o'list church looked upon him ax a clianipion
worthy to uphold the cause for which they had
struggled so devotedly and suffered so much.
Though he developed early he never ceased to
grow, and it is not too much to say that for years
past he has been generally regarded aa the great
est preacher in the south. His devotion to the
Methodist church was heroic, but he was not
creed-bound in any mean or narrow sense.
On many subjects, indeed, his views were so
liberal as to provoke the criticism of those who
could not see ao well ax he.
He gave Itls whole might to whatever lie un
dertook. Whether be worked aa pastor, as col
lege president, ax bishop, as agent of the Slater
fund trying to elevate the negro and to gain
favor and friendship for him from his more in
telligent ami more powerful fellow citizens, Atti
cus G. Haygood wax always true and always
influential.
Only those who knew the man intimately can
understand the beauties of bis character. He
was one of the most loveable ax well ax oue of
the most Intellectual of men.
St. Paul wax bis hero of heroes and lie might
worthily say ns lie passes from life as did the
A poxtles of the Geutiles: “I have kept the faith."
Bishop Haygood was a great big, love
able limn. His death is a serious loss to
Georgia and his church. His work ‘for
the cause of education will be an eternal
monument to his memory, and his work
for the cause of Christ will insure him an
eternal home among the saints. His in
fluence in both directions will be felt for
ages to come.
Peace to his beloved ashes! Earth
never knew a nobler life, and earth is a
great deal poorer for his death.
War, and rumors of war, will run cot
ton down and grain and meat up.
Remember the truthful old adage that
an open enemy is far preferable to a sneak
in camp.
The Rome papers are claiming that
another big New England factory is go
ing to locate there. That’s the way the
Rome people have of getting a good deal
of the world’s fullness—they claim every
thing in sight.
A BANE PBOI’ONITION.
Under the above head, tne Boston
Herald truly says.
Ex-Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska, who is
oue of tile leading apostles of the cause of free
silver, has written a letter to Senator Tillman, in
which tiie baseness of the attempt to make a
successful combination in behalf of the cause he
champions is clearly exposed. He urges that
enough of the silver democrats join with the
republican senators in passing the house tarifl
bill with a free coinage rider annexed, so that
if tiie President vetoes it they will have votes
enough to pass it over the veto. It is an unprin
cipled proposition, but it is interesting and illu
minating as showing the desperate methods of
tiie silver men to accomplish their purpose at
whatever sacrifice.
And another exchange emphatically
adds that Bryan’s corrupt, not to say
scoundrelly proposition, is explained by
those who claim to know the facts by
relating that he is the salaried attorney
of the ring of silver miners, with Capt
Grant, the millionaire miner and smelter
at the head. We don’t know anything
about whether or not this is true; but it
is »n harmony with Bryan’s record in
genera], and it clearly explains his letter
to Tillman.
One thing is certain, above all others,
and that is that when the democratic
party surrenders on the money question
to the populists, and embraces their fiat,
16 to 1 silver isms; and surrenders its
tarifl' reform doctrine to the highway
robbery idea of republican high tarifl, it
will have deserted its cardinal principles,
will have nothing to live for, and will go
to its grave in ignominy and disgrace.
Democracy has lived all these years by
the strength of its convictions and the
power of right over wrong, and it must
live on the same way, or die by traitors’
hands. Men like Cleveland, Carlisle ami
Smith must save the partv from such
men as Bryan, Morgan, and their ilk.
The democratic voters must stand to these
true leaders of democracy, and repudiate
such as would make them desert their
principles for either new doctrines, or old
enemies. Bryan’s proposition isinfamous.
and should be so denounced by all honest,
true democrats.
“A specific duty,” said a prominent
member of congress to the Washington
Post the other day, “should be imposed
on importations of tea.” Why, certainly,
lots of duty; the more of it the better.
Is not growing tea an infant industry in
this country? Some hundred pounds,
more or less, of it are raised every year in
South Carolina. And coffee is bei”g cul
tivated in that state, also. Half a bushel
I
of coffee was gathered from South Caro
lina coffee bushes last year. Shall not
these infant industries have prot« ction ?

Savannah News.
A CLAIM THAT NIIOI Ll> BE PAUL
The Savannah Morning News very
justly and forcibly says that one of the
most meritorious claims pending in con
gress is that of the publishing house of
tin- Methodist Episcopal church south.
This claim has been before other con
greases and has been reported favorably.
The only reason it failed to pass both
houses was a lack of harmony among
those supporting it. There is no question
about the facts upon which the claim was
based. When the union soldiers under
Gen Buell took possession of Nashville
in 1862 the publishing house was in a
fairly flourishing condition. Gen. Buell
announced that no property would be
destroyed, and that if any was taken it
would be paid for. The union forces held
possession of Nashville from 1862 until
the close of the war. In 1864 the pub
lishing house was seized by the federal
authorities, who retained possession of it
for about seven months. During that
time much of its business was lost, and a
great deal of its printing material was
destroyed or carried off. It is not pre
tended that the federal authorities were
justified in seizing and holding the prop
erty, especially after it was announced by
Gen. Buell that no private property
would be taken unless it was needed, and
that, in that event, it would be paid for.
The Methodist church south is not rich.
It is becoming prosperous with the in
creasing prosperity of the south, but it is
greatly in need of money for its many
undertakings. If the claim of its publish
ing house were paid the church would be
better able to carry on its work. As
there does not seem to be any good rea
son why it should not be paid, the pres
ent congress will only be doing an act of
justice by allowing the claim as quickly
as possible.
A sound money exchange truthfully
declares that “a great cry goes up from
the silver men, when it is reported that
some democrat has said lie ‘will not vote
for the ticket if the convention adopts a
free silver platform.’ When one of these
comes to you, with such a ‘tale of woe’
ask him quick: ‘Will you vote the ticket
if the platform shall be unequivocally
for the single gold standard, the absolute
discarding of silver as money of final
account?’ Ten to one he dodges, pre
varicates, and finally says, if he’s half
honest, that he would not vote for a gold
bug on a gold platfoim. Why, thousands,
in this and other states, have deserted
s he democracy for the populist and so u

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Bill Bryan's free silvtr faction, because
they wanted the cedula, rag money of
Argentina, or the silver basis of Mexico
ami China The ignorant Ingots who
head the silver party, are in no case to
lecture sound money men for their lack
of loyalty and good faith.”
The New York Mercury (Dem.) truth
fully declares ; “Democrats should bear
in mind the fact that the republican party
is responsible for the condition of the
federal treasury. The looting of the treas
ury began under President Harrison.
The deficit originated under Harrison
after he mid signed two iniquitous bills—
the Sherman silver makeshift and the
McKinley robber tariff. Harrison retired
from office leaving an empty treasury,
and it was the same treasury which he
found filled to overflowing when he went
into office four years before. Cleveland
filled the treasury; Harrison emptied it.
All the ills the country now suffers from
are due to republican squandering.”
Sympathy with the Cubans may
take a decided drop. The recent de
scriptions of their wholesale destruc
tion of property, and of the fact that
Gomez’s negro soldiers when they cap
ture a town ravish the women in the
presence of their husbands and fathers,
and then hang the men in the presence
of their wives and daughters, will do
much to cool the sympathy of the jirgoest
of the jingoes. It seems the liberty such
conduct deserves is the liberty of the
gallows.
A smart person repeats this chestnut:
“The gold bugs insist that the people
need, want, must have gold; and in the
same breath the gold bugs say the people
have no gold to buy bonds with.” Let
us put another statement beside this, by
way of answer: “We say the people need,
for their happiness, the great rivers,
oceans, arable lands and mountains of
the earth ; but aren’t we mistaken, since
the people haven’t these things in their
pockets, or locked up in safes; and only
a small fraction of them, in the civilized
countries, own so much as a foot-square
of land ?” One proposition has as much
good sense in it as the other.—Chatta
nooga Times.
For the last thirty years over a milli
dollars a day have been spent building®'
railroads in the United States. And yet,
we hear jawsmiths who swear they love
the “dear people,’’ advocating the stop
page of railroad investment by capital—
the cessation of this great contribution to
labor. Poor ignoramuses.
Two of the latest exchanges on our
desk are the Morgan Monitor, and the
Waycross Journal. The Journal is by
our old friend Sweat, and is a live repre
sentative of Southeast Georgia. The
Monitor is published by J. G. Rogers and
George H. Dozier, at the county seat of
Calhoun county, and is full of bright
promise of a successful career.
Atlanta Constitution:
According to Morgan’s own testimony, he was
invited to Washington to confer with govern
ment officials recently. Does not Mr. Cleveland
owe an apology to the “mendacious and sensa
tional newspapers?”
Mr. Morgan says:
On the23rd of December I was invited to
ington for a conference. During my visit there
no negotiations for a loan were even suggested,
nor was there then, nor since, any agreement or
request that I should take any steps preparatory
to making a contract.
It will be observed that he makes no
mention of government (administration)
officials. As the Constitution knew when
the paragraph quoted above was written,
Morgan went to Washington on the in
vitation of members of the senate finance
committee; that neither Cleveland nor
Carlisle knew of his coming; that Cleve
land didn’t see him and didn’t know he
had been in the city, until after he left.
But of course this way of trying to prove
the president a liar is legitimate and
proper “democratic” journalism—of a
certain kind.—Chattanooga Times.
