AMERICUS, GA., DEC. 18, 1900 Remember, Messrs Wright, Blalock and Hardwick. It is easy enough to vote away some body else's money, but not good morals. “Acting Governor Jelks’ advice to go slow, in the appropriating of the state’s money, meets with the unanimous ap plause of the state press. It appears to be a good beginning.”—Montgom ery Journal. The Standard Oil Company is very much like other companies, it buys i out competition as being cheaper than fighting it. It has one remarkable ad vantage in these operations, however; it has the wherewithal to buy every time competition shows its head. It happens that“the Bluegrass belle” who “has become a Baroness of Ger many by marriage,’’was born in Eng land, and the Louisville Times says ha« not aojourned in Kentucky long enough to know the difference between bluegrass and beargrass. In the recent Presidential campaign both parties spent all the money they could raiaa. That’s the kind of cam paign the Romans used to have in the days of Caesar and Pompey, and that’s the kind of politics one Roman,Seaborn the" member from Floyd, preaches now to a democratic legisla- 1 tnre of Georgia. Perhaps it is our lack of compre-1 hension, but really we do not under stand why, in the midst of universal prosperity, and the “full dinner pail” there should be so many strikes. A town of any importance that has no strike on hand is not en rapport with the general tendency. What’s the mat ter with things any way ? Robert W. Wilcox, the Congressional delegate from Hawaii, is confronted by that most formidable of all things—a woman scorned. His divorced wife, the Princess Gina Colonso Coberero de Stagliono, is hot on his trail, It seems that while a military atudent in Italy Wilcox met the Princess and by tales of his wealth and position, she alleges, induced her to marry him. Now she writes to a woman friend in California; “I can never forgive the man who ruined my young life and who deceived me into marrying him by wicked and false stories as to our future life in Hawaii. The post of honor to which he aspires in the Congress of America shall never be his if I can stop it, and : for that reason I shall soon visit your country.” One of the features of the late campaign in Hawaii was the agility displayed by spelbinders who climbed the telegraph poles to escape mobs of the opposition. It were well for Wil cox if he participated in that sport enough to become au adept. HANNA’S SPEECH. Senator Hanna s as reported by the Associated Pres**,does not illum inate the ship subsidy bill. He did not explain why tWe bill does not pro vide for more shi os; why it is that un der it the mails v rill still be carried by the fast German i ind British ships, that there is no assure nee given in the bill ’ that larger cargoetk will be secured for American vessels, / under it ship hire foreign seamen at -J-ruw wages and still receive a subsidy. Senator Hanna reviewed the history ( of American shipping, but did not ex. i plain the ship bill. The public is fair- , ly well acquainted with the history of American shipping. It knows it has J been steadily on the down grade since before the civil war, but it is not well acquainted with the intricacies of the c ship bill, nor have the people of the countr.\ yet understood that making \ them pay their pro rata of the §9,000,- h 000 tax per year will give them any- v thing in return.

Remember that childhood’s sweet est illusion is belief in the reality of Kris Kringle. Disillusionment does not always bring happiness.—Rome Tribune. NOT TO MUCH COTTON. There is an extraordinary variation between the government bureau esti mate of the coton crop and that of Latham, Alexander & Co., which has just been received. It will be remem bered that the government estimate was 10,100,000 bales. The firm, how ever, under date of December 12th, issued a circular in which it announced that it had mailed 3,880 letters to selected and reliable correspondents— banks, bankers, cotton commission merchants, brokers, proprietors of pub lic gms, railroad officials and planters, covering every cotton growing county in the South, asking information as to ! the probable total cotton crop of the United States. The firm received 2,285 replies of average date of December 6th, and it thinks the information thus I derived to be as reliable as any infer- i mation that can be obtained on the I subject. Its tabulation shows that ' crop of 1900-1901 to be 9,766,910 bales, as against 9,436,000 bales for 1899-1900 1 Here then is a discrepancy of 333,000 bales as compared with the government j report. WRIGHT’S APPEAL FOR WRIGHT Seaborn Wright, the populist leader who for years bent his best energies to braak down and disrupt the democratic party in Georgia, hoping thereby to ride into political power is again masquer ding before th® people. On every pop ulist question which came before the legislature the gentleman from Floyd would rise majestically on th® floor of the House and with that seductive eloquence which he i» at all times capable of uttering cry out “Mr. Speaker, in the name of God and the common people I appeal to the House to stand firm.” Now Mr. Wright the common people are not fools; they have long ago caught on to your little racket and understand fully that your appeal should really read thus. “Mr. Speaker, in the name of God and for Seaborn Wright, I appeal to the members of the House to stand firm. BLOOD We live by our blood, and on it. We thrive or starve, as our blood is rich or poor. There is nothing else to live on or by. When strength is full and spirits high, we arc being re freshed, bone muscle and brain, in body and mind, with con tinual flow of rich blood. This is health. When weak, in low spirits, no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest and sleep is not sleep, we are starved; our blood is poor; there is little nutri ment in it. Back of the blood, is food, to keep the blood rich. W hen it fails, take Scott’s emulsion of cod-liver oil. It sets the whole body going again—-man woman and child. We’ll send you a little to try, if you like. SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl street, New York Another Mill For Talladega. Talladega, Ala., Due. 17.—Another cotton mill seems assured for this place. About $25,000 has been subscribed to the Chinnabee cotton mill, granted a charter by the present legislature. Tal ladega already has two cotton mills, in which $200,000 of home capital is in vested.

How this Dread Disease May be Prevented and Cured - The Greatest of Specialists Writes on the Subject. Catarrh is the motliAr of consumption. By this I no not mean tluit every caseot catarrh de «■ velopesinto consumption, but I do mean that catarrh when nn checked, and when given the MR proper opportunities for extern ” g pion from its place of beginning, <7 A which is the nasal passages, r J 1/ deeper and deeper along the « jk,- / breathing tract, invariably ends i n Consumption of the Lungs. Catarrh seldom destroys any considerable part of the mucous surface of the upper air pas ages; itvinflames and congests ' them, causing usually a super -JA abundant and offensive dis charge : but when It reaches the intensely delicate lining of the hair-like lung tubes and little lung cells, the infiamation and congestion which it causes, closes these small air passages anti, allowing the putrid discharged matter to accumulate, causes a rot ting away of the membrane, resulting in what we call Consumption of the Lungs. THE TENDENCY OF CATARRH. The tendency of catarrh, when ithasonceobtained a foothold in any portion of the mucous membrane which lines every cavity of the body, is to constantly extend in every direction. Catarrh i n almost every instance starts with what s commonly known as cola in the head, ibis cold is added to by another, because of some extra exposure or weakening of the system and becomes chrome Nasal catarrh is the result. Unless a radicalcure of this condition is effected, the disease passes rapidly to the throat, to the bronchial tubes, and then to the NEW LUNGS. Consumption cannot be cured. New lungs cannot be made for a man any more than new fingers or a new nose; but catarrh can be curedin all its stages except this final and always fatal one. A CERTAIN CURE. In an experience of twenty years, during which time I have treated many thousands of cases of all forms of catarrh, I have never yet failed to effect a radical and permanent cure. The method I employ is one exclusively my own, and the remedies which I use are prepared uniter my personal direction m my own laboratories. . „ ~ Many people imagine they have Consumption when in realitv the disease has not quite reached that ! stage, l am treating and curing cases of this sort i every day. So long as the process of decay h<|9 not I begun in the lungs themselves. lean make the patient I perfectly well and strong again. BEGIN AT ONCE. Let me once more urge all catarrhal sufferers to begin treatment at once, for a mouth of treatment now is better than the three months later on. I shall make for the next month a specially low fee for the treatment of catarrh not complicated by other diseases, making no extra charge for all med icine?, etc., that may be required. J.
