BLACKS DRAW THE KNIFE,
NEGRO REPUBLICANS PREPARE
TO SLASH NEW CONVERTS.
Claimed That Negro POstmasters
Are Slated for Dawson, Attn
ems and BarneSViIle.

The following from Fridays Constitu-
ton is of some local interest:
The blacks are preparing to rout the
new element of the republican party in
Georgia
They are orgs nizing to secure all offices
for which they have made application,
and declare that Mckinley will recognize
the m.
The recent split-up in the republican
ranks has stirred the blacks all along the
lin, AMI they have plotted to rule the
new converts out of the regular party or
ganlzatiOn.
The colored men have active charge of
all state machinery, and they have given
a number of the converts to understand
that they are politically doomed. They
have picked ouv Major Hanson, and be-
cause OF his attitude ~ the Lyons case
state that they will not suck up to him
In any undertaking he might espouse.
They declare that Mckinley is with
them, and wear triumphant smiles.
MORE NEGRO PosTMAsTERs.
1t is reliably stated that more co!ored
pOstmasters will soon be named in Geor-
gla. A letter was received by the Con-
stitution yesterday from colored repub
llcan leader protesting against the ex-
preston of Thomas P. Ivy, and stating
that Athens, TalbottOn, GAINESVILLE and
Dawson will all receive colored postmas

tration.

The old story of PrOmethus is par
able. PrOmethus was on terms of init
macy with the gods. From them he
stole fire and gave it to men. For
this sin he was bound to the rocks of
Mount Caucasus, and yultures were
set upon him. They only ate his liver.
This grew again as fast as it was peck
ed away. Are his sutferings to be
imagined?
Take modern Interpretation of the
parable. There is no cooking without
fire. In cooking and eating the mis-
chief lies. The stomach is overtasked,
the bowels become clogged, they can
not dispose of the food that is given
them. The impurities back up on the
liver. Then come the yultures-the
torments of a diseased liver DIR.

Gludness Comes

With a 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 a 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. Its 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. tits 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, :
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the Well-informede everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction

TRIED TO BE LILY WHITES,

Some time ago there was advertised
throughout the state by a company do
ing business in northern city lotion
that was guaranteed to make colored
people white. The wife of Alfred B j.
ton, negro who operates creamery
near NOrcrOss, and who was black as
the ace of spades, invested in the lotion
and applied it as prescribed The lotion
caused intense suffering but the woman
persevered, and in time her skin changed
to red. Ugly scarlet spots appeared on
her face and body and her hair came out.
She applied to white physician, who
found unmistakable evidence of poison.
The woman is critically i'll. About TWEEN
ty others who used the preparation are
similarly afflicted. The matter was re-
ported to the state authorities.

Beware
OF the knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfe1d, Mo,
writes: For six years I have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, Ill, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though lam
not through with my second bottle yet
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
l would have escaped years Of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
the disease and forces it out per1na-
nently.
