Over in Georgia the good people are
holding conventions and worrying them
selves to death over the mile MUM and the
second coming of Christ. THIS is a good
sign. When the average Georgian tan
giles himself up with such a question it
shows that his corn crib is full and that
he expects high priced cotton and a reg

During the stress of the hard tiues
period the Georglans never even chirped
about the millennium, and the second
coming of Christ was forgotten in the ex-
peoted coming of the bill collector and

skies are frightening, and they can afford
to take a day off from their business
and have battle royal over the sacred
mysteries which are sealed books to the

1t matters not from what cause the
blood becomes poisoned, it is impossi-
BILE for the doctors to effect a cure.
This class of disease has puzzled the
science of medicine for ages, and the
same treatment that was employed
centuries ago is now prescribed. Pot
ash and mercury are the component
parts of every doctors prescription
for diseases of the blood.
Many of the so-ca1led blood puri-
fiers are based on potash and mercury.
In fact, S. S. S. (Swift's Specifc) is
the only blood remedy that is guar
anteed purely vegetable, and is the
only one that contains no harmful
ingredients. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that cures real blood diseases,
obstinate cases that physicians and
other remedies have failed to cure.
1t never fails to cure blood disease
no matter how deep-seated the case.

order finding Major Pope, the general
passenger agent of the Georgia and Ala
bama railroad, in contempt of court and
ordered that the principal offices of the
road be carried back to Americas from
Savannah, where they were moved some
time ago in violation Of the courts order.

road was discharged. The question as
to whether the road can again remove

that by contract with the road the Off
