was never made. The slightest disorder

a business man An unsightly skin is
caused by impurities of the blood, A foul
breath means a weak stomach, an impaired
digestion and an inactive liver A sweet
breath means that the stomach is sweet,
the digestion good, the liver active and the

a thoroughly constitutional sweetness.

flow of digestive juices, gives edge to the
appetite, makes digestion and assimilation
perfect, invigorates the liver and purifies

Here is tangled politics. Some
nisn supposed to be democrats
signed the petition «f the New
York Independents for the nom
ination of Roosevelt, their action
being presumably for the pur
pose of noakimg trouble if the
chance came. Then Roosevelt
declined the nomination and the
independents put up another
man. Quite recently the chair
man of the republican executive
committee sent a letter with the
names of these democratic sign
ers to the various county chair
men with the suggestion that
they -be published in the local,
papers a$ the names of demo
crats who favor Roosevelt for
governor, and now this letter
has fallen into the hands of the
hands of the democrats and is
being used as a campaign docu
ment.
The papers in Georgia and
Alabama are doing everytning
they can to encourage farmers
to engage in raising wheat on a
larger scale than they have ever
done before. ’Hie LaFayette,
Ala., Sun has offered a of
twenty live dollors to the Cham
bers county farmer producing
the largest, amount of wheat per
acre. If similar plans were
adopted in every section of Geor
gia and Alabama, it would en
courage the farmers to compete
with each oilier in wheat grow

Some young women of Plain

one practice game with a club
of men and are disgusted because
their antagonists refused to win
by handling them like Dresden
china, trying apparently to
break hearts rather than heads.

The probability that Teddy
Roosevelt would be a candidate
for president in 1900 if elected
governor of New York, is weak

TRYING TO SHIELD HIM
And now Home newspapers
are trying to explain why Jake
Beach resigned Iris position *ae
prison commissioner just a few
hours before Gov. Atkinson
went cut of office. 'They evi
dently realized that this last act
of the Atkinson administration
has thoroughly disgusted the
whole state, and that it is nec
essary for the few friends left t«
Governor Atkinson to say some
thing in his behalf.
But the explanation does not
explain. In ’ the first place, it
places Mr. Beach in an absurd
Jight to say that Le resigned be
cause he could not have his own
way about the election of a pen
'itenfiary site.
But even if such an explana
tion could be accepted, it would
still not excuse the bad taste
displayed by Gov. Atkinson in
filling the vacancy thus created,
in view of th* fact that ire, him
self, was to retire from office
within a few hours, while the
new prison commissioner would
serve through and beyond the
incoming administration.
• No, had Gov. Atkinson been
more a statesman and -less a pol
itician he would have left the
place for his successor to fill. In
tact, had be observed the ordi
nary rules of official courtesy,
he would have refused to act on
such an important matter on the
eve of retiring from oflise. We
don’t believe there is another
man in Georgia that would have
acted.in such bad taste.
What is the use of trying to
defend Atkinson in this matter?
The whole thing was clearly
understood the moment it was |
announced. And it is the unan
imous verdict that Atkiii’on
“fixed it” in order that he might
fix*up his fencei in Wiregrass
Georgia.
It is by far the most disgrace
