If McKinley wants the Philip pines let him have them, only make him emmigrate to them and take Mark Hanna with him. France hates England but stands impotent in her rage, gnasping her teeth while she grins. Uncle Sam has no more use for the Philippines than a yal ler razorback shoat has for a box of toilet soap. In all lines of business there is only one way to succeed —by making the receipts larger than the expenditures. Rome’s little Democratic-Re publican postmaster is getting quite gay in the manipulations of the civil service rules in the , Rome postoftice. - - - You can depend on Uncle Al len D.Candler giving Georgians elean an administration as she ever had.

Pierce, M D., chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgi cal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. It tells what to do in emergency or accident or sudden sickness. It contains over one thousand pages, profusely illustrated with engravings and colored plates. It gives receipts for sev eral hundred simple, well-tried home rem edies. It instructs the mother in the care of her ailing children or husband, and gives invaluable suggestions for the preservation of her own health and condition in all those critical and delicate periods to which women are subject. The author of this great work has had a wider practical ex perience in treating obstinate diseases than any other physician in this country. His medicines are world - renowned for their marvelous efficacy. Mrs H M Hansrote, of Magnolia. Morgan Co. W. Va., in a letter to Dr. Pierce says : 'My band is a locomotive engineer. He came home about s year ago and just dropped in the door way. He was burning up with fever and he commenced with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery according to directions and in two weeks he was able to go to work, without having * 1 commenced to take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription something over two years ago, and am glad to testify that it is a God-send to womankind.

Charles. A. Connant, in the American Review of Reviews, figures up the cost of the war with Spain to June 30th, 1898, at $281,000,000. It is estimated that bad roads cost this country $600,000,000 annually. Every good road is a money saver in wear and tear on vehicles and horses. Some one is certain to remark that a Plug Tobacco Trust capi talized at $60,000,000 seems to be biting off more than it can chew. —Americus Herald. The Grand Canyon of Arizo na, the greatest known, is about 200 miles long, upward of 7,000 feet deep, and at sume points, from rim to rim, measures 10 to 12 miles in breadth. Dry weather in California this season has caused the shut ting down of a number of stamp mills and placers. This will re duce California’s gold output for the year compared with 1897. If that “coon” has any hope of breaking into congress from this district, he probably basis it upon the grounds that the people do not know he is run ning.—Moultrie Observer. Jenks, the free silver caudi candidate for governor of Penn sylvania is in a fairway of breaking into the chief execu tive chair, owing to the faction al fights in the republican party. Here’s to Capt. Jenks! “Old Man Hearst,” the veter an prospector, who was Mark Twain’s partner in the days when the material for “Rough ing It” was gathered, is still a miner, and is working a claim near the Black Range in New Mexico. Commodore Kautz, who has just been appointed to the com mand of the Pacific squadron,to succeed Admiral Miller, retired, was the man who, at the capture of New Orleans in 1862, hauled down the “lone star fl ig” from the city hall, which colors May or Monroe refused to strike. It costs money to get a repu tation, but a good name has a financial value. When it is once made, if you take care of it, it will never be taken from you, but will be a steady source of income. The harder it is to get, the more value it will be to you when once obtained. Gov. Tanner, of Illinois, con tinues to refer to negro miners from Alabama as “foreigners.” I'he governor should read up on the constitution, and learn that any citizen of one state has a sight to enter peaceably the hol ders of another. Gov. Tanner will have to relinquish his Gat ling gun theory,—Augusta 1 Chronicle. - ■ ■ - ™ — I The “Feminine Observer” in ! the Philadelphia 'l imes, acks I “why should women be classed | as little lower than angels? From | all the knowledge of angels that we possess, a single, good all round woman is infinitely su perior to a whole flock of them.” This “Feminine Observer” must be a man—and a very soft head ed man at that. What John AV. Maddox thinks of ex-Governor Atkinson as a possible military officer, as ex pressed in his Ringgold speech, would not look well in print.— Ringgold New South. “A war declared to save the republican party” is the way Congressman John W. Maddox designates theSpanish-American war. There are thousands who agree with him, says the Ring gold New South. Your “Uncle Allen” is jusi the same plain, honest man as governor that he was as a pri vate citizen. Gov.

Members of the Grade Teach ers’ Federation of Chicago are about to undertake an experi ment in co-operative farming. It is proposed to purchase for $20,- 000 a 400 acre farm in the Green Lake region of Wisconsin, and to form a stock company for the cultivation of the same. Six hundred teachers will be the shareho’tiers, and each is to pay her assessment in monthly in stallments of sl. The sad death of brilliant Tom Cobb will cause general sorrow throughout the state. No young man in Georgia possessed more natural ability, and there were few whose future seemed so bright. Young Cobb fell a victim to that dread disease, consumption, and thus the st ite has been robbed of a citizen who in years to come would, un doubtedly, have added lustre to his state and to the honored name he bore.—Macon News.

EXCHANGED COMPLIMENTT S.iys the Atlanta Journal : Gov. Candler and ex-Gov. At kinson exchanged compliments with an exchange of overcoats, and the result was the surprising apparition of a Candler face sur mounting an Atkinson overcoat at the oratorical contest. The difference between the height of Gov. Candler and that of Gov . Atkinson is only about wj feet, and when the one-eyed I plowboy appeared in the gar- Iment f the tall wagon Loy from Coweta, the effect was al most startling. “Gov. Atkinson committed larceny when he left the |man sion Saturday,” said Col. Can dler, “and took my overcoat to Newnan, leaving his own for me. “You know that Gov. Atkin son is tall, and what the bojs c ill ‘slim-c nnplected,’ and I be -1 eve ir cutting things sboit. The result was that when I got into his coat my appealance was somewhat like that of David when he put on Saul’s armor. “I was booked for the orator ical contest Saturday night, and as it was cold I had to wear an overcoat. There was none to’wear but Gov. Atkinson’s, so I put it on and did the best I could. Since then Gov. Atkinson re turned my coat and I sent him his back with the message "that his mantle had literally fallen on me, and I hoped I might r it as worthily as he did.’’ MARRIES A POOR LAWYER.
