THE IIIISIIMim EHUSTLE-ROFROME Kstablished, 18H0. —- ~HE RCME COMMERCIAL Established, 1885. tu*d every eveulug. except Saturday. Suudav aud weekly. PHIL (i. BYRD, B DITCH /M> R'?NAGFR. No Cuban debt for Uncle Sam. The cotton grower works ‘•agin the grain.” ■ -- --- ” The new legislature assembles in Atlanta on the 26th. The average parisian laborer is a striking individual. Neither will the old man as sume the Philippine debt. The Peace Jubilees have noth ing to do with the Indians A mountain range full bi coal is not always a warm member. Alger’s fever camps have given a boom to the pension industry. “Yellowoid” continues to get in its work over in Mississippi. The bicycle girl with fatted calves is most prodigal in expo sitions. Now, lets* get together and give Congressman Maddox a majority of 10,000. An invasion of Jack Frost would be welcomed in the “yel lowoid” state of Mississippi. The Daily Rome Georgian is as newsy a morning paper as Rome has had for some time. Atlanta should quit agitating viaduct until she has secured a dry dock for her marine depot. The ides of November will bring a Waterloo to the republi can party. Mark that prediction. Your Uncle Allen received more than 20,000 more than two to one over Whiskers Ho gan. Is the order for the Oregon and lowa to proceed to the Phil ippines another Watson-Cadiz bluff? Those twenty thousand sol diers ordered to Paris will not intimidate our peace commis sioners.- If Mrs. Lease were here today, though not a Daughter of the Confederacy, she wohld be a rebel yEllin’. Chairman dußignon gives it as his opinion that the populists of Georgia have made their last organized stand. Their honest name is Pillag ers,and yet there are people who will tell you that there is noth ing in a name. Mrs. McKinley has the deep gpmpathy of a nation —over the convertion of her brother into a “good” libertine. A Peanut Trust has been found. This will prove a great hardship on the “King of Ra zorbacks” and his “satelites.” Remember the congressional race is still ahead of us—and democracy must do her level best—and bury its enemies for ever. South Carolina is sending campaign orators and other as sistance to North Carolina to in the good work of freeing the old North State from scala wag and negro domination. Twenty two years ago North Carolina and Georgia performed similar services for South Caro lina. Can it ever be forgotten how, on election day in 18<6, inquiries in South Carolina as to how the ballot was going would be met with the response, “Everything for Hampton ; and four more counties in Georgia to be heard from.”—Savannah News. Diva Adelina Patti has accu mulated a fortune of a million dollars —and she did it “just as easy.” For mqre than a genera tion Ad. has rolled up and down the earth in palace coaches and private cars, raking in great rolls of “long green” and avoid ing champagne and horse races. In the exchange of high notes for bank-notes. Patti knew her business —and “tended to it.” Welcome Daughters of the Confederacy, and excuse Ro mans for not decorating—you know the car load of Hags aiK Confederate bunting which the city ordered, got caught in the Brunswick storm and the steam er and all hands went down Fortunately no Daughters of tin Confederacy were on board. Tin Hags can be replaced. A statesman has made his ap pearance within the arena of New York politics who calls himsolf Major Treble Pucker. Colonels Gum Coats, of Tenues see; Scott Shivvers, of Arkansas and Abe Slupsky, of Missouri, are justified in concluding that he is some dude politician ska ting around under a fake name. —St. Louis Republic. Connecticut and Rhode Island are now engaged in a furiou controversy, the motive of which is to prove that neither state is the birth place of Benedidt Ar nold. There’s one thing dead certain —betides Benedict—and that is Irnold was not born in Atlanta, though the Atlanta car shed would make him a good monument. “All this nonsense about ‘the Daughter of the Confederacy’ should be dropped at once There was but one daughter of the President of the Confedera cy, born in the White House of the Confederacy, and ‘ he is dead. Peace to her ashes and with them let the cruel memories of the Civil War be buried.”— Town Topics. Sampson is very ill in Ha vana. Should death cancel his unearned numbers, his remains should be laid to sleep in a pri vate cemetery—certainly not in same plat with the dust of fallen patriots—not even in a four mile-limit. South Georgia is suffering from a news paper wave of “wheat culture. ” In North Georgia the farmers sow wheat in the old fashioned.way and let it alone until harvest time. It doesn’t need any “culture” up this way. Physicians’ carriages have the right of way in the streets of Berlin. In this country the hearses lead, because through them the physiciens bury their mistakes. Another way in which we lead the German. The Indian uprising did not last long enough for the old ladies of Boston to get nervous or for us to get reports of heavy cannonading ip the windward passage.—Americus Herald. The very finest brand of Ha vana . cigars fetches $1,500 a thousand in Paris. The French politicians will resort to the stump the statesman forsakes. R" 11- The Philadelphia Ledger re marks that the French authori ties are certainly not using smokeless powder in fighting the Dreyfus case. When Hobson finishes raising the submarine Spanish fleet at Santiago, he might find other fleets of the same nationality in the same swim, off Manila. A Jersey father placed a bot tle of poison on the breakfast table and ordered the family to drink. Just another way of starving the Jersey mosquities. ■ - LSJI Now that Uncle Sam has about exhausted his supply of red tape, what’s the matter with tan.ning the hides of the red skins killed in the recent scrap. What’s the matter with a campaign button inscribed “The Police are Not in Politics” and let the cops wear it on their breeches pockets.—Philadelphia Times. A number of Georgia editors recently spent a few hours on Pike’s Peak, Colorado. Some of them were nearer heaven than they ever will be again.—Way cross Herald. Georgia has quarantined against populism this year. Even Tom Watson appears to have been caught without a health certificate, observes the St. Louis Republic. If Saxon accomplished the downfall of Mrs. George, and then wilfully deserted her—he deserved death at her hands, even if he is brother-in-law to President McKinley. Roosevelt’s Rough Riders propose to storm New York. They will have but few negroes to rescue them in this campaign and their name, after the elec tion will be Dennis Z. Mudd. The Sparta Ishmaelite s&yeiOne gr> at trouble is that the south buys too much and sells too little. The balance of trade, socalled, is always against our section. Tha necessary conquence is p verty. The Dowager Empress of Chi na is said to have been a bar maid in Imr early womanhood. Perhaps it was in those days that she learned to mix a “heel tap” that would throw down a King. z jU/ f I i/a nktd A « A.

The city or town bred man who has all his life humped his back over a desk, living an unhealthy, sedentary life and failed to take any care of his health, could not stay on the back of one of these vicious brutes for more than three jumps. It takes a whole man to conquer a vicious animal People may talk about intellectual superiority and refinement and good breed ing, but every man takes off his hat to physical strength and endurance. While the man who leads a sedentary life cannot hope, in this respect, to rival these sturdy men of the plains, they can be sound, vig orous, healthy men if they will. It is a matter of care of health while one has it, and the proper measures to restore it when it is lost Most diseases begin with some trouble of the digestive organs or of the liver. Troubles of this nature starve the body, because they prevent it from receiv ing its proper supply of nourishment Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery gives a man an appetite like a cew-boy’s aad the digestion of an ostrich. Its jjreat work is upon the stomach, large intestinesand liver. These are the organs that nourish a man’s body. This medicine makes them strong, vigorous and healthy. Jt fills the blood with the nourishment that builds new, solid and healthy flesh, muscle and nerves. '• l am now enjoying magnificent health, after having suffered for years with chronic catarrh." writes Ramon Sanches Esq., of Penasco, Taos Co . New Mexico. "By the use of your ' Golden Medical Discovery I have recovered my health, and am now. physically a sound man, attending to my business and enjoying life.” DISSOLUTION OF THE COTTON TIECOMBINE The farmers of the South will be delighted to hear that the price agreement existing among the cotton tie and iron hoop manufacturers of the country during the past three years has been dissolved by common con sent of those interested at a meeting held at Pittsburg. The firms engaged in this branch of the naetal trade and who were bound by the price agreement were the half dozen or so larg est manufacturers in the coun try. The agreement has been main tained faithfully up to the pres ent and when one of the manu facturers was asked if any change in prices would occur, he said no one was as anxious to know as he was, as the market was open, and his firm was ready to meet any output. Inasmuch as competition is the life of trade and must nec essarily bring the figures down, we hope soon to see a reduction in the price of cotten ties in commensurate ratio with the price of cotton itself. Perhaps too, the owners of the West Rome Cotton Tie mills the only plant of the kind in the iron fields of the cotton belt,will now see their way to putting the mills into operation. Big money was made by these mills before they fell a victim of the octopus of combine. Big money can be made with them again, now that the trust is busted. The news of the Canton trag edy as London first got it was to the effect that President Me- 1 Kinley had been murdered, and people had time to speak of the President’s many good qualities and to speculate as to whether it had been an anarchist plot before they learned that the victim was a brother-in-law of the Chief Executive. The “harmony reception’’ given to the candidates on the New York Republican State ticket last Mon day was not attended by Governor Black, who sent a most elaborate letter of regret; nor by Senator Platt, who a* nt no let'er, and could not be found high or low. Lou Payn, however, wap on hand, and «at down st the same table with 01. Roosevelt. The anti Candler Press said your Uncle /Ulen’s majority was about 50,000. Later on when it grew to about 70,000 these great “scoopist” news gatherers got interested in the Pillager war and feetb ill games and forgot all about the crushing defeat the “Pigeon rooster” administered the open enemies of Democracy.
