DEPARTMENT OF THE
SOUTH,
It is an ill wind that blows no
good, and the present war ex
citement has brought about ac
tion by the war department that
Atlanta has been petitioning for
several years.
Yesterday the war department
in Washington established the
department of the south with
headquarters in Atlanta, aban
doning the department of Texas,
and withdrawing the southern
states from the department of
the east to which they have here
tofore (with the exception of
Texas) been attached.
Without any reference to war.
this change means much for
Atlanta, and will add greatly to
her importance as a military
post. It is a natural change to
have made, and one that will
add much to the efficiency and
prompt mobilization of this de
partment of the army.—Augus
ta Chronicle.
THE CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE
The Thomasville Times-Enter
prise, edited by Colonel Triple't,
has this to say in a recent issue
about the gubernatorial campaign.
“The plane hunters, h> pro
fessional office holders and office
seekers, the men who “manipu
late” things, are against Candler.
They know they can’t use or con
trol him. And this is the secret
of Col. Candler’s popu'anty with
the masses, with those who are
more interested in a strong, con
servative economical administra
tion of the state’s affaire, than in
dishing out offices to pay politi
cal debts.”
And this comes from way down
in South Georgia—down where
Spencer Atkinsou is supposed to
be stronger than auy where else—
and it goes to show that tbe sen
timent of the people all over the
state, that is, the great masses of
the people are for the rugged, hon
*st statesman—Allen D, Candler.
The people know he will make
'hem an executive of whom they
will feel proud—a Governor aud
arc going to nominate him. He
is holding his own in the contest
md is serenely conducting his
campaign upon tbe high plane
upon which be pitched it in the
letter to the Clarke county demo
cracy accepting the nomination.
The people have rallied arouud
Alien D. Candler before, and they
have not yet lost one bit of that
old time enthusiasm when rally
ng arround such a leader.—
Gainesville Cracker.

We are “eminently” satisfied
with the progress made, and,
while we are sawing wood aud

1 was passing along East First
street with Judge Mat Henry a
few days ago. When opposite
the palatial homes of Mr. H. A.
Smith, the veteran book man,
and Major Lavender, the South
ern’s clever freight depot agent
for Rome, the Judge called my
attention to the magnificent wa
ter-oaks aud remarked:
*>*
“It seems to me that there are
more green leaves on the water
oaks this spring than I have ev
er before observed in this sec
tion of the state.” The fact that
the trees have retained so much
of their last seasons’ suit speaks
volumes for the open winters of
North Georgia.
♦ ♦
♦
I had not noticed those leaves
before, though I have for a long
time had a jumbled conviction
in my mind that, as the ballet
season advanced, the trees had
a habit of shaking their habits
same like some female folks, or
vice—a verse or two.
Anyway, these days begin to

Mrs. Charles Garrard has
gone to market. This is a big
news item for the ladies of Rome,
not because Mrs. Garrard goes
to market so seldom, but because
she not only goes regularly but
when she goes she always se
cures the very latest in all milli
nery novelties and styles—thus
enabling the Roman matrons
and maidens to enjoy just as
pretty goods as though they
were convenient to metropolitan
fashion centers.

The exports of breadstuff, cotton

February all show a considerable
increase as coinpaired with tne
exports for February, 1596 the
gross increase having amounted

comparative decrease of $1,500,-

export of petroleum.
And now the gratifying an
nouncement is made that Gen.
Wade Hampton was misquoted
when he was reported as saving
that in case of war the south
would confine its attention to
the defense of its coast line. The
south is more loyal, thinks the
Knoxville Sentinel, than Gen.
Hampton’s purported remarks
would have given reason to be
lieve. But at any rate, he has
denied that he made any such
utterance.
Those of our readers who find

One Large Scar
Is All That Remains of Great
Scrofula Sores
Neighbors Could Not Dear to Look
Upon Her —A Grand, Complete
Cure by Hood’s Sarsaparilla
At tor Others Failed.
“I was taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long after this, a
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores camo on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores. My
face locked bo bad that some of my
neighbors could not bear to look at me
and advised me to wear a bandage, but I
feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. So I
Could Not Hide the Sores.
My niece, who was familiar with a case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, urged me to try it.
Finally I was persuaded to do so, and in
a short time I saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu
ralgia in my head was better. In a few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
I have never had any symptom of scrofula
ice. One large scar cn my right arm is
I! the sign that remains of my terrible
fiction. The neuralgia is also cured.”
