It is really amazing to see b jty
BOIUO of the politicans are falling
jvtr each other iu their efforts to 5
convince Col. Candler that they j
are for him for Governor. Thia ia .
an oil’ year with the politicani,
however and it ia more than like 1 ? ,
that the Hon. Allen 1), is aware
that the people have determined
to take a hand in the selecticn o f
Governor $s well aa others
officers. If there is an/ one who
should be mindful of that fact it
is Candler, for it aeema aa a result
of a popular demand for an anti |
ring politicana for a candidate
'hat be will have easy sailing.—
Columbus Ledger.
It is whispered that Seaborn
Wright will be asked to again head
the Populist state ticket thia fall.
Seaborn tried that little game once
on a fussion basis too, and it is
hardly likely that he has forgott- D
the result.—Albany Herald.
A friend of Mr. Wright tells
this deponent that Mr. Wright
says that if he had to run against
a democrat any mure that Allen
D. Candler of Hall is the last nan
on earth he would want to tackle.
Mr. Wright is enjoying the domes
tic pleasures of a happy home—he
is also rounding up a big law prac
tice and will not go into another
campaign as gubernatorial leader.
Mark that predic ion.
Editor Sid Lewis says Georgia
has been without a Governor tor
about two weeks, and the interreg
num promises to last about two
weeks longer. So far, no hardship
has resulted Under Secretary
Candler’s management, the
business of State goes on just as
smoothly as if Governor Atkinson
were an Atlanta. The situation
is one never before known in
Georgia. Though no evil may
come of it, is a condition ot things
that ought not to exist.
Fort Gaines Sentinel says:
“Uncle Alien” Candler is a Dem
ocrat of the old school, and those
who have become disgusted with
( political demagoguery, delusive
subterfuges and new-fangled isms,
are rallying under his banner. The
professional politician of the s'ate
, making order had as well hunt
their holes; their reign of traffic
in public trust is fast drawing to
j a close.
r
Out of a certain number of our
citizens, we find by inquiry, that
, 85 percent of them are in favor of
Hon. Allen D Candler for our
b next governor. Now this inves
tigation took place before the
, withdrawal ot Hon. J. M. Terrel
from the race, therefore we can
easily count on 90 or 95 per cent.
—Banks County Journal.
-
, Allen D. Cand or has shied bis
, castor into the gubernatorial arena
, and he leaves no room tor any
doubt as to whether the financia
t question will be an issue in the
ctmpaign. Now we shall see who
wants to try conclusions with this
old-fashioned Democrat —Albany
) Herald.

Laura Jean Libby is to write

Joe Terrell nas proven himself a
man of sagacity in not running up
against Allen D. Candler for gov
ernor. Mr. Terrell has anuouced
his determination not to run for
governor. Sensible Terrell!

INCREASED SO. EXPORTS.
The Manufacturers Record of last
week calls attention to the re
markable development of the ,
South’s export trade, which is en -
phasized by a summary of the
statistics of breadstuff's shipment
for the year 1897 as compared with
1896.
Tht total shipments cf corn,
wheal, ou's and Hour from five
leading Southern ports aggregated
167.938,972 bushels, against 128,•
861,847 bushels iu 1896.
The total increase was 89,077,-
125 bushels. The total value <.f
the exports of all breadstuffs from
the leading ports of the country
for 1897 was $248 121,108, a gain
over 1896 of $66,900 000.
At these five Southern ports the
total for 1897 was $89,055,052,
against $57,177,884, being an in
crease of $31,877,168. Thus of to
tal gain from the entire country of
$66,900 000 nearly one-half o r
$31,877,168. was from five South
ern ports.
Making a comparison by percen
tages, the increase from these five
Southern ports was 55 7-10 per
cent., against 28 5-10 per cent for
all other ports.
We have seen it announced that
Capt K. R. Foster of Chattanooga
County is applying for a position
as Superintendent of the farm
under the new convict law. It is
with great pleasure that we note
nis candidacy, as no man in our
judgement is more eminently qual
fied for the position than he. His
wide long exp rience in the man
agement of large farms together
with his good judgement and con
trol of men fit him for such
u position. Added to this is his
upright Christian character and
the confidence that his people of
Chattanooga have his ability and
1 integrity. The Board could make
no wiser selection for this place
und we confidently expect him to
win and easy vi ttory.

The People Believe
. What They Read About Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know It Absolutely Curoa
When Other Medicines Fail
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is not merely a Dim
ple preparation ot Sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stillingia and a little lodide of Potaßsium.
licHides these excellent alteratives, it
also contains those great anti-bllioua and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
It also contains those great kidney reme
dies, Uva Ursl, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsiseowa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are harmoniounly com
bined in Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
sujiervisiun of irregularly educated phar
macist.
Knowing these tacts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a
matter of surprise? You can see why
Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
“My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. Shi
was attended by physicians and trier’
