HUSTLER-GOMMERCIAL THE HUSTLER OF ROME Established, 1890. ~HE ROME COMMERCIAL Established. 1895. U-ued every evening, except Saturday. Sunday and weekly. PHIL G. BYRD, 11 11OR AND MANAGER. 3 he turkey has faded and the hash hasht ditto. It is repotted that a man from Augusta, Ga., is editing a paper in Manila, Has any one had a billydoo from Col. Side-Saddle Moll Lease recently ? What has become of the “Starving Cubans?” Not even an echo answers. The weather man continues to serie the article as if he was long on assortments. 'J he original Indian name of Cuba was Cubanacan, signifying “where gold is found.” Czar Reed seems to be against expansion, though he lias, to date, issued no peace notes. Out of 6,000 tax payers in Washington county only 500 have paid their taxes so far. The days are slipping by, and the sands of the Georgia legisla ture are rapidly leaking out. Peace will prevail, and Miss Jessie Schley will continue to bug herself over the results. B The miserable fall weather has sent many, many a bushel of s-ed wheat to the local flour mill. The prize fighters should join the church people and reformers in demanding the abolition of the ring. Vermont will make a brave attempt to enforce the prohibi tion law, The Oreen Mountains will raise another crop of “Dew ay.” It is now a clear turnpike to Christmas.—Albany Herald. The Herald evidently does not seethe Atlanta Peace Jubilee toll gate. “There is reom at the top”— but the white light beats there more pittilees ihan on the couch of contentment in the shades at the bottom. Augusta, with an army of volunteers and a brigade of Methodism’s commissioned offi cers, wears a war like appear ance these days. Dewey ha« declined $5,000 for a magazine article. Why of course— think of what Spain had to pay for Dewey’s May Day magazine article. J Cissy Cisneros and her banker husband have returned to Ha vana. The Washington Post cal culates that Mr. Cisneros will probably reopen his drug store . Only 1 ,925 women voted in Chicago this year, as compared with 30,000 l< ur yeors ago. Even the Chicago women are diegnsted with Miss Polly Tix, •8 she am. ? The fault-finder should re member that St, Peter has no •ympathy with the kicker—ii. other words, a kick at the pearl) i gatei will not secure rapped at lention. nor will the reckless be wreckless any longer. • A modern Solorhoti who occu pies the position of collector of customs in a Swiss city was re cently required to classify lor duty a lot of human bones which a scientist wished to take into the country . The collector clas sified them as “worn personal effects of former residents”—a decision the dearness and cor rectness of which cannot be questiohed—Birmingham News. A Modern Maid: “Am I the j first girl you ever loved?” she i asked him more as a matter of habit than any thing else. “I can not tell a he,” said he. “You are not. Yoh art simply the best of the bunch.” Being a modern maid, she was content with that. —Cincinnati Enquirer. No, Jane, Dear, that New York she-devil —the Ilannis woman, is not Mrs. Lease in dis guise. Mrs. Lease may be “of!” in politics, unsexed by her pro fession, but Mrs. Lease is a lady gentleman compared to that New York production from Hades. Albert Williams, of Charles ton, West Virginia, says he was the colored child whom John Brown kissed as he was being taken to his execution. If the xissee boasts of the incident lie should be planted next to the kissor. Spain has something at least to be thankful for. She can thank Uncle Sam for leaving her the “mother country” and assuming the burden of looking after mi.lions of naked, half starved savages. It appears tLat a Pennsylvania Dutchman was the most eager man in Wilmington to lynch that negr* editor who had utter ed his filthv slanders of southern •/ white women.—Memphis Com mercial Appeal, “There is but one democrat in the' lower Wyoming house,” says an exchange. There’s but one pop in the upper Georgia house, and he likes 143 being up to bis name—“ Gross.” Jerry Simpson has pitched a heavy whiskers crop and reduc ed the acreage of sox. He ie try ing to popo-agriculturize himself back to congrese two years hence. An eminent man of science has recently declared that red haired people are far less apt to go bald than those who are possessed of other colored hair. Fishing for Health. When a man breaks down with that ireaddisease, consumption, and recognizes his condition, he starts out to fish for health. He tries this thing and that thing. He consults this doctor and that doctor. He indulges in all kinds of absurd athletic exercises. . He tries first one climate and then another. He tries the rest cure and the work cure. He grows steadily worse. That is the story of most consumptives. Finally, when the consumptive dies, the doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces consumption incurable. A thirty years’ test of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery has demonstrated that it cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease, before the lungs are too far wasted. In a consumptive there is a weaker spot than even the lungs. That spot is the stomach. A consumptive never really begins to die until his stomach gives out.’ The “Golden Medical Discovery” not only braces up the stomach, but acts directly on the lungs, healing them and driving out all impurities. Honest medicine dealers will not urge you to take an inferior substitute. "T had a very bad cough, also night-sweats, and was almost in my grave with consumption." writes Mrs. Clara A Mclntyre, Box 171, Ash land, Middlesex Co., Mass. "A friend of mine who had died with consumption came to me in a dream and told me to take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and, thank the Lord. I did so. By the time I had taken half of the first bottle I felt much better I kept on until I had taken three bottles. That was all I needed. I got well and strong again." Whenever constipation is one of the com plicating causes of disease, the most perfect remedy is Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, which are always effective, yet absolutely mild and harmless. There never was any remedy invented which can take their place. They never grip*. BALL 1 > ' lUBLES I . * Those whop phecy that the small scraps bet ecu negro and white soldiers, will speedily bring about the expulsion of the blacks from the South, or some other great upheaval, industrial and social, either do not remem ber reconstruction and its*sequel or they have lived since, says a venerable writer. The South went along under a state ofs eige f< r eleven years over the issue of race antago nism and the collateral ques tions is raised. Southern legis latures were Ii led by ignorant black men, as purchasable as cattle. The debt of Soutu Carolina was run up from $1,000,006 in 1870, to $18,000,000 in 1876. A Southern legislature could not be organized without the aid of soldiers. Companies were marched into the halls, and the functions, of the presiding offi cer were usurped by brigadiers. Terrible riots occurred in Memphis, New Orleans and oth er cities. The shotgun compa nies in Mississippi, the redshirt rangers jn South Carolina, and the Kuklux Klan everywhere, kept society in a ferment, de stroyed industry, made commer cial expansion impossible, and manufacturing development out of the question. Then plane .for getting rid of the negro race were as plenty as blackberries, i'he old bumbug, Hinton Rowan Helper, of North Carolina, crawled out of his ob livion with an e aborale plan, and he had a thousand rivals and imitators. Anti nothing at all came of all that noisy agitation. The white people, by one means or another, came to their own, captured the states from the negroes; the northern vultures and southern scallywags were put down and out. Order, after a fashion, was restored ; the people gradually set to work to better their condi tion ; the race questi n was for getten for twenty years. We know, in this day and time, nothing about race troubles comparatively speaking. The little flurries we are having amount to but very little, and the proposed remedies for them and their results are absurb, grotesque.Time,the greathealer, must be depended on to cure the evil. Wait for the great sal vation !You can’t hurry the Al mighty. J JIH '_■■■■■ Corbett's star has set. That sola pleux blow of Fitzsimmons was well placed. Now if some body will only knock out Fitz simmons, and put an end to the idle boastings of that braggart, set he will confer a favor upun a long suffering public. PEN PICTURE OF DEWEY A pen picture of Dewey: Even the best photographs do not do justice to his fine eyes— large, dark and uminous—or to si lid nr S 8 <if his head, witii iron brown hair tinged with gray. He is a larger man than the portraits indicate—and his fig ure, white th it t>f strong man in good health and form and well nourished—is,not stout and though full i- firm—and his step has clastieit in it. His clean shaven cheek and chin are m: ‘sive ind drawn on fine lines of full character, no fatty obscurati n, no decline of power, astern bur sunny and cloudless sac —a ood face for a place in history, s o show of in dulgence, no Mi nkles, not the pallor of marble, rather the glint of bronz he unabated force good for oil r chapters of. history,—Murat Halsted, Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar. Safeguards the food against alum. Alum baking powders are the greatest menacers to health of the present day. ROYAL BAKING POWCCR CO., NEW YORK. The Savannah Press needn’t worry. ’The free coinage plank isn’t going to be the only good one in the next Democratic platform—There will be several others ; and the Press is going to have the right ter consider any one it prefers as the most important.—Sparta Ishmaelite. Your Uncle Sid Lewis observ es that “Gov. Atkinson has,very n iturally, jumped into the are na with columns of defense of his administering of the finan cial affairs of the State. It is a defense which doesn’t defend. His administration has been pioved to have been an extravi gant one. Nothing is left but to go forward and insure the fact that the administration of Gov. Candler shall be an improve ment in that particular.” Ex Gov. Atkinson is out in a page of advice on Georgia’s fi nancial condition and tax re form, given to Gov. Candler and the legislature. Consider ing who has been directing the affairs of State that has produc ed Georgia’s financial embarrass ment and heavy taxes, Atkin son’s advice might be called ill timed, l.u for the absurdity of advice from that quarter, and for the lateness of the hour in which it is siven.— Dalton Ar gus. There are wags in the Dornin ion of Our Lady of the Snows. One of them proposes a trade of the British West India Islands for one of the New England States—the latter to be annexed to Canada as a new province. In case McKinley decides to act on the suggestion we would like to trade off that neck-of nowhere from which has emi nated Sir Thomas Brackett Reed. By all means swap Reed for an island and give his state as boot. Then trust to Tom to make Our La ly of the 'Snows Remember the Maine. The Hawaiian Gazette (Hon olulu) of Nov. 2, contains a gor geous picture of the meeting place of the Peace Commission, in Paris. Over the building hovers a dove whoso body, is by actual measurement half as long as the facade of the structure, and whose outstretched wings momentarily threaten to deincl ish it. The allegorical bird holds in its biil an olive branch of such proportions that should it fall it would assuredly crush in the roof of the Ministry of Foreign affairs and put an end to the deliberations of the Peace Commission forever. And yet the Georgia legislature is trying to put the mighty bird of peace on a protected parity with that nocturnal marauder, the o’pos sum.
