THE NEW WOMAN IN GEORGIA,
"A Bill Before the Legislature to Make Fee
males Eligible to Office.


ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 21.-The new
woman IN Georgia has found cham
plon In the person of Mr.. Oliver of
Banks county, the gentleman who rep
resentS the people that gave to the
world that famous organization in the
late unpleasantness known as the the
Banks County Guards. Mr.. Oliver has
introduced bill in the lower house of
the general assembly amending the
constitution of the state so as to make
females eligible to all offices and COM
petent to perform all civil functions,
except to vote. His bill also eXempts
women from the right to hold offices
elected by the people or general assem-
bly,. Thus, while the new woman
not be governor or solicitor general,
she might be principal keeper Of the
penitentiary adjutant general or
Judge of city court, to say nothing
about her eligibility to the Office of
state Librarian which is now being
sought by Miss Ellen Dortch, and to
effect which the bin probably has
as its main object.

Glddness Comes

With a better understanding of the
W transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff.
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
Ii in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, e
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the weL-informede everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
nsed and gives most general satisfaction

pour of rain. which diminished as the
wind-storm increased in severity Heavy
clouds and intense darkness prevailed.
There was no lightning or thunder.
Around the horizon in the south was seen
a long stretch OF haZy brightness, which
moved in an easterly direction. The APP
pearance was like the reflected brilliancy
In the sky OF an immense fire. The phe-
nomenon finally disappeared in the north
about 10 o'clock.
conservative estimate is that the
damage and losses will exceed 5000.
The lin on roof of the railroad build
Ina; was blown off and carried some dis
lance away. Loss, N0O.
PRIZERY WRECKED.
The large three-story tobacco prizery

caught out when the storm was at its
height. and say they were so pelted by
small stones that they had to lie down
and hold fast TO something TO keep from
serious injury or being blown away.
Information from the surrounding coun-
ties is that great injury was done TO
buildings and fences. Some persons en-
gagged In hue-curlng tobacco had their
barns burned down.
