THE GOLD FEVER.

The gold discoveries in lower
California have created intense ex-
element in every town in the
southern part of the state. Santa
Clara district, where the crowds are
rushing, is about $50 miles south of
San Diego and forty miles west of
Ensinada. All along the line thou
sands are en- route to the scene of
excitement. An average of 600
men a day have left for the mines.
Walters at the hotels and restau-
rants have largely left, and two
thirds of the force on the Cuyamaca
railroad are gone.
The best indication regarding the
value of the mines is that no one
has returned except to replenisl
"grub stakes" photographers have
also joined the prospectors. En-
sinada is practically deserted. Eff
teen good, rich lodges have al
ready been discovered. This prom
ises permanent camp. San Diego
has about gone in a body to the
gold country.

My mother has had cough for twenty
years, pneumonia leaving her with bron
chial trouble. Two years ago. her lungs
becoming involved, she became very much
emaciated and lost all stgength, being
under regular treatment of physician
and taking medicine all hours of the day.
This continued until a year ago when l saw
your advertisement of Acker's English
Remedy for Consumption and procured a
bottle as the tickling in her throat was
unremitting and SO irritating as to make
talking impracticable. She was so much
relieved that another bottle was procured,
and we now buy by the case, she never being
without it. She has no physician and
takes no other medicines. She remarked
lately that if she had not procured it when
she did she would now be dead.
We have recommended it to others, who
always receive benefit from it, If any one

THIS IS SPRING LAKE.

Where all is awake for the fishes sake,
For without rod, hook, bait or spear,
Can just pick them up by hand on shore
without fear.
They are gentle as lambs, and real tame
and nice,
So it's not necessary to bring in that little
fee.
Now, friends, don tget such low notions on
rice,
That Spring Lake sells everything at half
price.
A spool of thread is hard to cut, five cents
down,
But one dollars worth of sugar may vary
pound.
Now, about postoffice-fliends, don't take
alarm,
For all our mail may yet come out of a.
Barn.
Candidates, do not get excited, and never
you fear.
Some will tire out and never get there, Eli.
So come to Spring Lake, set in you claim
And I'll give you good goods, at low prices
all the same.

GEORGIA'S PENSIONS.

I EDITORS J0URNAL-We are glad
that the Georgia legislature in its
wisdom has seen fit and proper to
provide pensions to those citizens
who we're manned in the service of
our countryside Confederate army.
Those who faced the battles and
were MANNED in defense of our
country deserve something, but we
are made to think of those who
fought and sacrificed even more
than the maimed-lost their lives in
defense of our country, were shot
down or died from disease and IA
tigue, of the lacerated hearts of the
widows and orphans who have had
to toll and struggle so hard to pro-
cure food and the necessaries of life.
In many cases the poor widow of as
good responsibility as Georgia af-
fords have had to grip the plow
handles in order to make support
tor herself and children. Now it
looks to us that the man who lost
his life in the defense of our coun-
try sacrificed more than the one
who lost an eye, leg or arm, and
that there is none more deserving
OF aid frcm the State than his
widow. SHAKE RAG.

A BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIA.
TTON

EDITORS JoURNAL-Is it not fact that
one of the greatest necessities of Marietta
is Building and Loan Association, oper-
ated on a fairly liberal plan, thus enabling
parties owning vacant lots, and those who
have barely the money to buy a lot, to
erect dwellings thereon for their own use
Free holders make better citizens than
rentors can reasonably be expected to-.
There is no doubt that a Building and Loan
Association established in Marietta on an
equitable plan would do much toward
adding to the growth of the city. 1t
would be the means of making more work
for the laborer and mechanic, more trade
for the merchant and the lumberman.
while every additional good house built
certainly enhances the value of all other
property in its neighborhood More build.
ing demands increased numbers of laborers
and mechanics, which in turn makes more
demand for houses already built for rent
ers, SO that there need be no fear, by those
owning property, for renters. A Building
and Loan Association makes good say
,ings bank for those who wish TO lay ava,
little each month where it will brine
them good returns, while man owning {
lot can borrow of the association enough
money to build his home, which he viii
own in FIVE to eight years, by paying them
monthly less than he would pay in rent
for equally as good house. l would like
to have this matter brought before the
citizens of Marietta through the instru.
mentality OF your paper, which l take fo1
granted enters heartily into all enterprises
calculated to benefit the masses of the
citizens of this beautiful city.
If there is another side to the question
/ would like to hear from those who know
about it. If not, then l trust some of the
enterprising old citizens will take up the
matter and pat it in practical running
order. Respectfully, M1RADoR.

A young woman in the state of
New York, who had suffered for
months from insomnia and tried all
the familiar remedies in vain, was
finally cured by a device which is
little known in this country. Re-
Gently there came to work in the
family Swedish woman, who, hear
ing of the young woman's trouble,
told her OF practice of the people
in her country who are similarly
afflicted. 1t was to take napkin,
dip it in ice cold water, wiring it
slightly and lay it across her eyes.
The plan was followed, and it worked
like charm. The first night the
girl slept four hours without awak-
ing, something she had not done for
several months. At the end of that
time the napkin had become dry.
By wetting it again she at once went
to sleep, and it required considera-
BILE force to rouse her in the morn

1t has generally been considered
the thing under the Republican
regime to grab all the money in
reach when the government had to
foot the bill. Colonel Dan Lamont,
the Presidents private secretary,
went into office at salary of $500
a year. The verdict is general that
no previous incumbent of that office
has equalled him, and this verdict
took the shape of an addenda to the
general deficiency appropriation bill
allowing him $4,000 extra pay.
Though poor man, Dan Lamont is
a manly one, as all true Democrats
should be, and Dan modestly, but
firmly declined to accept any extra
pay. AL honor to him

THE ROAD LAW.

EDITORS JOURNAL am one that
thinks the road law is good enough
if it was rigidly enforced. 1t seems
unreasonable to put a tax on the
people at this late hour. For the
reasons, first, our taxes are too high
now. Second, there are too many
old and infrm people it would be
imposing on them to some extent !;
it would require heavy tax to keep
the roads in as good condition as now.
Third, it woula require contractors
and tools to keep them up, which
would be more trouble than to put
i the law in force, and the expense
would be little to state and county.
We should look for our interest,
the county and state, before taxing
the people any heavier. Tax less
and work more, is my motto. l say
in the place of ''road congress"
we should recommend the old law
that has been ever seen the govern
ment has been founded on principle,
equity and justice to all men, and
encourage the grand juries and
judges to have them put in good
fix at small expense as possible.
Let us stay close to the old land
marks.
1t is said by some it will be best
to tax the people to keep up roads,
but they have not tried it. Then
let us work the roads according to
law and that will suffice, or tax the
people now and rob your treasures
and keep the people in debt. 1t
does seem to me that is what it
means. Why should we finch from
our duty ON the roads? Is it the
fault of IKE law? No; it is the
fault of the people who has the au-
thority to have them worked. Now
We believe in good roads and bridges
kept in passable good condition so
as to apprehend no danger. 1t
makes me think some people have
found better law than we have
lived under a life time. Men who
have worked their time out, and
now to put them in again, seems to
be very wrong. There are plenty
of men OF the age required by law
to keep the roads in good condition,
if they will work in good faith and
be contented with the present sys,
tenn. | have penned this through
my interest on the subject, which
should be the interest of all tax
payers. When the road congress
meets in Atlanta, they should look
well to the interest of the State at
large. J. II. GOODWIN.
