Roentgen rays upon diphtheria bacil-
Ii, all confirm the theory that the
germs may be destroyed by the rays.

try. Two guinea pigs were inocu
lated with culture of diphtheria
One of the pigs was exposed to the
Roentgen rays four hours. After
seventy-two hours this pig shows ne
signs of diphtheria and is just al
lively as before, whereas the pis
which was not exposed to the rays
died within twenty. eight hours after
the injection, and the post>morteu
showed his death was due to thu

JUDGE MILNER.

Judge Thomas w. Miner, of
Cartersville, Democratic candidate
tor Congress from the 7sh District,
made speech at the court house
on last Saturday afternoon, Col. G..
D. Phillips introduced him. The
crowd was small, but Judge Miner
didn't let that dampen his ardor,
as he said that he knew that this
was bad time to draw crowd as
the farmers were all at work and
couldn't we'll afford to leave work
for politics. But he spoke with
earnestness and enthusiasm. He
defined his position on the financial
question as being in favor of the free
coinage of silver, in favor of the re-
peal OF ten cent tax against State
banks, and against all class legisla-
ton and in favor Of laws that will
benefit the masses. He made a
very strong argument against the
gold standard and said it was i'm
possible to maintain that standard
only by the Government going deep
er in debt by selling interest bearing
bonds. He said that silver would
redeem itself by the very fact of its
coinage-that It was not for re-
denption, but for circulation among
the peopIe--that under the present
system of demonstration, that if you
had silver in a house, il the house
should be burned, your silver would
be melted into bullion and be North
only It's present commercial value,
but if we had tree coinage, you could
take it to the mint, recon it, and
restore it to it's circulating value OF
one dollar, and thus silver under
free coinage redeems itself. He
continued at length and made his
position clear.
Judge Miner is o true Democrat,
of clean record and an upright
man, and if he should be nominated
he will receive the support of a
united democracy.

five Republicans and four democrats
in favor of Maddox retaining his
seat. This is not only a vindica.
ton of Congressman Maddox, but
of the Democrats who elected him.
1t shows that the methods and re.
suit was lonest and free from fraud.
We never thought at first that there
was anything in it, and this proves
it. Congressman Maddox is before
the people again for the nomination.
He has the abilits, energy and fair.
ness to represent the people faith.
fully and honestly. He is the friend
of free silver and has labored for
the best interests of the people and
has many friends who are working
tor his denomination.

HOW TO CONQUER NUT GRASS.

Here is what Hon. Tom Watson
says:
Double crop the land and if
you don't get rid Of nuu-grass you
may sue me for>the damages.
On my Hcme-Place, the garden
had to be abandoned on account Of
this pest, which had arrived as q
travelling companion to some Nur-
sery stock. After the garden, the
orchard had to be given up: then
the Attaining lots, until a one-horse
farm was practically abandoned.
J tried several plans of extermi
mating the invader, and found that
these plans were just what the nut
grass wanted. 1t thrived on said
plans, and pushed its invasion FUR
Their and further.
At length, in 1894, l experiments
ed on one OF the worst pieces by
sowing it in oats in the early fall.
When the freeze came which killed
the oats, the nuts, which the turn
pillow had turned to the top, were
also killed and the surface OF the
ground was covered with the dead
nuts, until it looked as if it had
been sown with black pebbles.
l waited ill late in April, and
scarcely sprig of the grass showed
itself. Corn was then planted, and
while some of the grass appeared, it
did not interfere with the cultiva-
ton of the corn by an ordinary two-
horse cultvator.
Following this corn, I sowed oats,
and they are now ripenjng to large
yield-with no nut grass to be seen.
AS a precaution, however, will
follow the oats with peas or corn,
and then again try rye or oats, this
fall.
This method of treating nut grass
keeps the roots from jointing, and
keeps the top from seeding.
The hot sun kills the nuts you
turn up to it, and a freeze in the
winter has the same effect. By
continually tearing up the roots,
you prevent the underground joint
ing, and by continually turning
under the top grass, you keep it
from going to seed.
Now, how can any grass prosper
when you make war upon it at both
ends? Itjust can't live in any
peace, and it quits trying.

A WORD ABOUT WRINGERS

There are cheap wringers and there
are good wringers. We can buy the
cheapest if we want t., and sell them as
cheaply as anyone; but does it pay
you to buy such goods or pay me in the
long run to sell such? No.
FOR INSTANCE
We can sell you a wringer for $3.50
1--WE have seen the same sold for 5000
and used up in six months) but we can
and do sell wringers for $500 guaran-
teed for Five Years, and should either
roll wear out i'm that time it will be re-
placed free of cost. This is the class of
goods that we sell and challenge anyone
to find such goods in any other store in
this city.
Would it pay you to trade with such
a concern?

THE IDEAL EDITOR.

The ideal editor is the one who
knows just what to keep out of his
paper. Washington Post.
In commenting on the above the
Lynuhburg (Va.) Review says:
'"Ihe general run of people, who
imagine they know more about
running newspaper than the man
who is doing his level best at the
business can't understand why the
above is true. They can't unders
stand what great mass of material
passes through the hands of the
editor and how he has to leave out
the bulk of it altogether and cor.
rect and condeEse that which he
does use to make it available. The
amount Of matter accepted and
used by newspaper is very small
in proportion to the amount rev
jected FOR one reason or another as
unsuited to it's columns, and the
care and responsibility exercised
in the rejection of unavoidable
matter is correspondingly greater.
Editors have to pass over a great
quantity of stuff to get the right
quality. With blue peAcil and pen
and scissors a constant process is
going on, wink 3g the grain fro
the chaff, and ben everything is
considered the Macmillan dic:um
