LETTER FROM CLAY.
THE STATE CHAIRMAN WRITES
TO DEMOCRATS IN TERRELL
About Registering for the State Election
TO Be Held in October. Go and
Register Now.

Hon. A. s. Clay, chairman of the state
democratic executive committee, has
addressed letters to parties in Terrell,
calling their attention to the registration
law.
Here is an extract from the letter
which sounds the keynote:
you will remember that the last leg
islature passed general registration
law, and, under that law, it is essential
that all persons register in order to be
able to vote in the elections this fall. l
trust thatyou will read the law carefully,
confer with the tax collector of your
county, and see to it that the people out
IN the country are made familiar with
the law, and that all democrats in your
county register in time to vote in the
October election. 1t is new law and
many voters in the country are not fa-
miliar with it, and it is important that
we keep it before them all the while,
that we may have large democratic
yote.''
1t is desired to give the democratic
ticket at least 900 majority in Terrell in
October. Terrell certainly ought not to
be satisfied with a majority less than this.
The registration books are kept open
every day at the Office of Tax Collector
Laing. When you read this, go and reg
lister at once if you have not already done
so. If you have registered once this
year it will not be necessary to register
again. If you registered for the prima-
ry election held on June 6 you are
qualified to vote in the regular state
election for governor, etc., to be held 10
October next.

FROM PARTY STANDPOINT.
Judge Griggs the Strongest Man That Could
Have Been Put Against the Populists.

Judge Griggs the Strongest Man That Could
Have Been Put gainst the Populists.
From the Albany Herald.
The pOpulsts in the second district
are to meet in Albany on the goth inst
to nominate candidate for congress-
At least a call for the convention has
been published. We hear of very little
activity amongst the pOpulists of the
district, however, and the fact that no
body appears to be pining for the nomi-
nation of that party in this neck of the
woods is significant.
Viewing the situation from purely
party standpoint after the democratic
primaries, the democratic party of the
district is to be congratulated upon the
choice of Judge Griggs as its standard
bearer If Judge Bower had been the
winning candidate in the democratic pri-
maries his position on the tinap cial ques-
tion would have invited opposition from
the populsts and would have embarrass-
ed him no little when confronted by an
opposing candidate with his own utter
ances on the leading issue of the day in
the early part of his canvass.
But the populists will have no such
advantage of Judge Griggs when it
comes to drawing tue line on the finan-
cial question. He declared himself on
this question in way that proved to be
satisfactory to the great majority of the
people, and he neither straddled nor
tiickered in the campaign. He will have
no explanations to make nor will his
only excuse for advocating the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at ratio of 16
to with gold be the fact that his party
has demanded it in its platform. He
was in sympathy with the masses on this
issue before the democratic platform was
promulgated, and will have to Meth Ell
change or modify his views on the CUES
ton in order to make vigorous cam
paign as the democratic nominee.
Viewing the situation as it appears to-
day there can be no question of the fact
that Judge Griggs is the strongest man
that the democratic party of this district
could have in the field as its standard
bearer in the fight that is yet to be made
between the opposing poll .cal parties.

REVOLVING CRIME.
COIquitt County Parents Charged With the
Murder of Their Little Daughter.


Murder of Their Little Daughter.
QUITMAN, GA, July News has
lust been received here Of a most sicken-
ing and brutal murder of little 7-year
old girl in Colquitt county, just beyond
the Brooks county line. To make the
murdeI more terrible, the father and
mother are charged with the crime, and
are now in the Colquitt county Jail.
Some time time ago Mr.. John Weeks
married Mrs Ingram, nee Miss HERS,
who was at the time of her marriage a
grass widow Mrs. Weeks is the daugh-
ter OF Mr.. Solomon HERS, very promi-
nent and well-to-do citizen of Colquitt
county Several days ago a physician
was called in to see the little girl, who
seemed to be suffering a great deal. In
day or two the child died, and it was
rumored in the community that the
death was caused from a severe whip
ping, which the mother had administer
ed. This report became SO general that
the coroner was sent for and all inquest
was held. Physicians examined the
child and testified before the jury that
the body was a solid mass of bruises
and that death was caused by the
bruises.
Witnesses testified that they saw the
mother whipping the child numerically
while the father stood by looking on
The coroner's jury brought in verdict
of murder at the hands OF the mother,
and the father as accessory.
Great excitement and indignation pre-
vailed in the community and there were
open threats of lynching ON all sides. 1t
i quite likely the culprts would have
been lynched if they had not been hur-
ried off to Jail.

OFFICERS SHOOT A NEGRO
BUT NOT UNTIL AFTER HE HAD

Some days ago Sheriff Christie sent to
Sheriff Days, of Calhoun county, war
rant for John Thomas, negro who was
wanted here for burglary.
The fugitive was located near Morgan,
and the Calhoun sheriff depUtized
Messrs. Louis Nix and George Wilkinson
to arrest him. The arrest was made,
and as Bailff wilkinson was drawing
his ha7d-cuffs from his pocket they be
came entangled in some way and while
was trying to loose them Thomas
mped up and made an attempt to
aw his pistol. At this juncture Mr..
Nix sprang at him and the negro, OBJ
serving Mr.. Nix, ran around the corner
of the house and as Mr.. Nix stepped
around after him drew his pistol and
made an attempt to shoot the officer,
but Mr.. Nix was to quick for him and
got the first crack. He then ran little
piece and fell, but before Mr. Nix could
get to him ne jumped up aud ran off
The bailiffs then returned to Morgan and
reported the matter to Sheriff Davis
Thomas was found by Sheriff Davis
next morning, and proved not to have
been seriously shot. The ball had enter

wound.
Sheriff Christie was notified of the ar
rest, and Deputy Sheriff Slade went
down to Morgan and brought the prison
er back. He was tried before Judge
Laing in the county court Friday and
acquitted

That he was half so dear.
Oh, had you been beside his bed
But one sad kiss to share,
To soothe, perchauce, his throbbng

To hear his hearts meek prayer,
To press his little grateful hand,
To watch his patent breath,
And gaze upon that smile so bland
So beautiful in death.
But these are past, and why dear

Thy vert a plant too rare, too mild.
For earth's bleak wastes to bloom.
Oh, why should we disturb thy bliss?

Why wish thee in world like this
From one that worthy thee?

Gludness Comes

WITH better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys.
zeal 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. It's therefore
all 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.
If 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, -4e
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informedev everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction
