Advertising rates are liberal and will b made known on »pi»lk’Ptlon. Faltered at the Postoiflce In IV-arsem. Georgia. Ah mall matter ol the second cliiKfi. Onr good women must lay askh their native modesty and assumi the role of voters. They must register and prepare for any fulun emergency in order to turn evil t< good aeeount. Il is a ease of self protection. The newspapers whose editors use canned editorials, are frequent ly made io feel the silliness ol their columns, because of the stupid misfit, paragraphs which they, in their hurry, fail to blue pencil. The Tribune advises them to quit hurrying, their work will appear better, and they will go through this world quick enough. Chatham county will not be represented at the Macon State convention, for the reason that Walker delegates will have no power —no influence nor voice in the gathering. It is also probable that the Atkinson county dele gates will not attend for the self same reason. However, whatever is done as affecting Atkinson ~oun ty will be carefully looked after at home. The way a boy spends his money indicates what his life will be. The boy who wastes his money buying useless or harmful things will perad venture waste his time — the stuff that makes up his life. Young man, don’t spend your mo ney buying useless or worthless things, waste your time in idleness or debauch yourselves by acquir ing vicious habits. In the railroad shuttling for ad vantageous position the Central of Georgia Itrilway will now deliver “Dixie Flyer” and ‘‘Southland” to the Atlantic Coast Line at Albany instead of Tifton. The Southern will operate two fast trains into Jacksonville, over its own track via Macon, Tifton and Valdosta — one from the Central West and the other from the North and East. The most ludicrous proposition ever placed before the intelligent people of Georgia is that of the Macon convention undoing what was done in the San Francisco con vention and disposing of Hon. Clark Howell as National Commit teeman from Georgia. It would be like the "tail wagging the dog.” Hut, not only some strange propo positions but some st range actions are being indulged in Georgia these days. The Hcurst newspapers, yclept Atlanta Georgian and Sunday American in Georgia, are the chief journalistic backers of Senator Harding's campaign. They are more ardent in their support of the Republican nominee than any of the old time Republican jour nals of Boston, New York and Chicago. And Georgians are to have a Ilearst newspaper as the organ of their State administration for the next two years at least. God grant that loyal Georgia de mocrats may not be in bondage longer. The Tribune feels sure this political hysteria will not extend beyond one term —two years. Harry Stillwell Edwards, the lilly-white Republican candidate for I'nited States Senator from Georgia, has furnished Gov. l>or sey the names of the Republican •electors and they will be placed upon the ticket. Harry hopes to get somewhere perforce of the di vision in the Georgia democratic ranks. So far as their platform are concerned, their political creeds, there is no difference between Tom Watson and Harry Edwards; but Tom is sailing under the banner of democracy. The truth is, they are both radicals. Eub-My Tisui is a great pain kill er. It relieves paid and soreness caused by Rheumatism. Neuralgia. Sprains, etc. POLITICAL VISIONS. The manner in which some Geor gians look at the political future is not easily understood, and it would appear they arc looking at it with eager eyes and longing hearts for places of honor in the victorious camp. They have been honored; they love and worship prominence; they will discard priuicple and friends to attain to leadership in any sort of a political wigwam. They yearn to walk witli the exalted and many times hasten to array themselves in their true colors. During the campaign, prior to the September 8 primary, many old time democrats were puzzled to understand the attitude of John X. Holder. When the proposition was put up to him to get out of ilie race, refused to do so unless Hugh M. Dorsey would come out of the senatorial race. The reason for this condition precedent was not apparent at the time. John realized lie could not be nominated for governor, but lie was not ready to give up tin* glare and glitter of public life. His motives are now made manifest, It is now announced with a nour ish of trumpets that John, imme diately after the September 8 pri inary, joined with the Hardwick forces and has become as radical against the democratic administra tion and its splendid achievements for the past eight years as Hard wick himself. John goes to the Macon convention, on (lie 25th, at the head of the Hardwick delega tion from his home county, Jack-' son. Let's see if we can fathom John Holder’s political vision, unravel the political skein he reeled off during the campaign and which dictated the reply lie made to the proposition to come out of the governor’s race! John Holder knew early in till' race that he could not be nominated for gover nor, and it looks very much like he visited the enemy’s camp and made an agreement to stay in the race to insure Walker’s defeat. For this he is to be rewarded by a seat in the United States senate for the short term should Tom Wat son create a vacancy. It had been thought that Hard wick would return Hoke Smith to tin- Senate; Hoke has fished for it. Did not Hoke support Hardwick and say that he had voted for him “With a great deal of pleasure?" Hardwick’s organ, Hcarat’s Geor gian, published it and we have seen no denial from any source. Although repudiated by the electorate of Georgia Tom Hard wick sees danger in Hoke Smith and he doesen’t propose to give him any advantages whatever. Hoke Smith like Tom Hardwick wants to get back in the Senate, and they have become'ant agonists. Hardwick will endeavor to remain governor until the end of Senator Harris's term, when lie will make another effort to go back to the Senate for the full term. John Holder tills the measure of Tom Hardwick's wants in this de lectable situation and a reward for services is the basis of John Hold er’s political vision. There are other Georgians, more or less prominent, defeated politi cians, with similar visions, who are building political scaffolds upon which they will sometime be “hanged as high as Hainan.” The Met ter Advertiser strongly favors the “Advertise Georgia Enterprise,” but gives a timely bit of advice; "Be sure that the advertising you give Georgia is of the right kind.” Brother Camp must have reference to the result of the recent primaries. The Worth County Local thinks that Georgia's provision crops are short, and the tendendy of the farmers to get back into the all cotton net is ominous of bitter re suits. The Local gives the inhu mation that many thousands of pounds of Western meat has been shipped into Worth county this yea- This sounds strange as it was understood Worth county was raising her supply of meat and shipping a surplus to market.

The list of members of the next House lias not yet been completed by Clerk E. K. Moore. Coffee Superior Court. This tribunal convened Monday morning with Judge James 1. Sum moral I on the bench and Solicitor Allen B. Spence representing the interests of t he State. The grand jnry was organized with Mr. C. E. Baker as foreman. Judge Gus. 1,. Brack was selected as bailiff. After a concise and pointed charge front the court, it entered upon the discharge of its duties with a heavy two weeks work staring it in the face. The trial court entered upon the discharge of its duties with a spirit that promised an honest effort to do something toward cleaning up a badly congested docket of civil business. The people of Coffee county, after sad experience, have reached the conclusion that their courts should be held in conformity to tlie statute unless prevented In sure enough providential hindran ees. such as death or epidemic of disease. Next week the court will con vene for the trial of criminal busi ness. There are twelve or four teen indictments for murder, to say nothing of other felonies. In order to force evil disposed people to respect the law and re frain from taking the law in their own bands, the courts must insure speedy trials consistent with the administration of justice, and meet out swift and adequate punishment. The lax administration of justice the past few years in Coffee and other South Georgia counties has been due to the fact that the courts have been held indiffereut- Torpid liver Black-Draught “has no equal for headache, sour stomach, tor pid liver and feverish colds . declares Mrs. Annie Whitmore, of Gate City, Va. “It is easy to take and does not gripe, as a lot of medicines do,” she adds. “It is good to take in a hot tea for colds, or can be taken in a dry powder. I can’t say enough for Black-Draught and the sick ness it has saved us.” Thedford’s BUCK-DRAUGHT has been found a valuable liver medicine,in thousandsof homes. “I do not use any other liver medicine,” says Mrs. Mary O. Brown, of Europa, Miss. “It is splendid for sour stomach, a ; bad taste in the mouth or torpid ' liver. I keep it all the time, use ! it with the children and feel it has saved us many dollars in doctor bills and many days in bed.” Insist on the genuine—Thed ford’s. E. 82 ly. The law breaker who can give bond deems himself safe from pun ishment. The courts succeed in clearing the jail and adjourns. The j bond cases go untried until the witnesses die or can’t be found, and the ease winds up with the Solicitor being forced to nolle prosequi. The case is absolutely 1 worn out. The people of the several conn-1 tics are to blame for I bis state of; affairs and it grows out of selfish ness —they think more of self-in- ■ Iciest than t hoy do of the public j welfare, it seems to bean easy; matter to draw and present to the Judge a set of resolutions, oral petition, requesting that lie post i pone the holding of the court. The Judge is between the upper and nether stones; he takes the matter undei advisement, and fin ally yields to their importunity. The system that begets such a sit uation should be abolished and the Judges placed where they can act. without fear, favor or affection, and where his doings will speak his free and deliberate sentiments. Distinguished Visitors. Rearson was honored yesterday by a visit from Mrs. J. L. Walker, of Way cross, who lias acquired honor as woman of letters, being tlie author of an unpublished vol ume entitled “Georgia’s Deserted Villages;" something overlooked in Georgia history until she brought them back to memory. She is now engaged in compiling a volume re calling the Indian trails and trad ing paths. She was accompanied by her sister, a (laugh ter and Prof. K. A. Round.
