vegetable wonders, a Fig, a Peach and
a Strawberry Tomato, also an Orange
Vine; genuine, splendid novelties. His

1000 first prizes, selling at s1.00 apiece.
His Lightning Cabbage is IS days
ahead of other seedsmen's earliest,
while his Early Peas, Radishes. To-
matoes, Melons, Beets, ETC.. ripen
weeks before their relatives.

The Time for Death.

We all know that we must die.
But when this hour will come, which
will lift the w%ondrous veil that con-
ceals the other side from view. 1 do
hot know, and do not wish to know.
It is good that God hath hidden this
hour from us. He has done SO, that
we may daily live and act, and feel
as if each day were our last. And
where shall l die? God shall deter
mine that. The most important of al
Is, how we shall pass away? that Is
to say, in what state of heart; whether
1t be amid painful conflict and suffer-
Ing, or il the end may be an easy one.
May God only grant that it be a bless
ed. and afford us an entrance into ever
lasting life.-Mullensiefen.

HE NO LONGER HAS ANY POLITICAL
AMBITION.
aud lie Has Now Turned TO
Other work.

Atlanta, Ca, March 25.--Hon. Thomas
L. Watson. In his official organ, the peo-
PIES party paper, formally declines the
popullstg'a nomination as gubernatorial
candidate. The letter is written In Wat
soma usual pnngent vein, and be takes
occasion to give the democratic party some
hard rnps Part of his pronupciamento lis
as follows: 1T Is tho unwritten law
among tho democrats Of Georgia that !
am not 10 hold office; and while this act
has not been read. three separate times, in
each branch of tho general assembly, 1t
has been enforced often enough to have all
the strength OF precedent and all the dig
nifty OF astatute. The time has been when
political ambition was very strong within
me. and looked forward to that field for
honors, famc and usefulness. 1t is no
longer so. That career Is closed to me,
ana | have turned 10 other work which
can not now be left undone."
Watson states that in his opinion the
majority OF the white people Of Georgia
are populists. He refers TO his National
In 1896 saying mis- action was
inspired by the hope OF bringing together
the union reform forces, but that his ct
forts only led to humiliation.

New York. March 25.-Horatio s. Ru-

regard TO the sending Of supplies TO Cuba I:
THE sending Of relief supplies to Cuba

to tho Spanish government. 1t enables
spoln to spend for mutations Of war TO

States. the money which humanity die
tates should 90 10 the amelioration Of the
condition CT the reconcentIoios
''That these unfortunates should receive
relief is beyond question Such is the carr
nfxt desire OF every man with a spark of
humanity. hut the only true remedy Is, as
General Proctor says, 10 allow them to go
back to the fields. Even In the present
desolate condition Of Cuba the insurgents
live In the country. and ga could the re-
ccntentrados. They would also relieve
s4dtn of the obligation 10 feed them, you
r.sy say, but the present kind OF assist
ance must be continued Indefinitely. Or 80
long as Spain holds the recommendations.
She dogs II because she knows that the
feconcentrados are Cubans and that their
return to the country would aid the Gu
ban soldiers So long as we feed the re-
Concentrates they win bs held as such by
Spain. We must feed them or Spain will
starye them or else we must Intervene"

AWAITING 4 DECISION.
Galveston Looking to the Lone Stnr
Injunction Appeal.

Galveston Looking to the Lone Stur
Injunction Appeal.
Galveston, Texas. March 25.--Consider-
able speculation is INDUCED in here by
railroad and steamship men as TO what
the decision of the United States circuit
court of appeals at New orleans will be
in the Lone Star Injunction case. Argu-
mept was concluded and the case sub
mitted on March II. but the court ad-
journed that day and no decision was ex-
pected at once. The court, however, will
reconyene on April 4, at which time those
interested anticipate the opinion in the
case will be rendered.
Judge Bryant is waiting for the deci-
sion with as much anxiety as any of the
parties to the suit. 1t Is said he has ex-
pressed the fear that the delay thus far is
unfavorable to his opinion. The, attors
neys fer the Lone Star, however, entertain
the opposite view.
In this connection it may be said that
the reason the writ In the Pee Gees suit
against the Southwestern lines was made
returnable at SO late day was because
Judge Bryant wanted to give the New
Orleans court plenty OF time to render its
decision in the Lone Star case. That de-
cison will he his guide Judge Bryant is
upheld by the circuit court of appeals and
the Lone Star injunction made permanent,
then the Pee Gee will be very apt to get
q temporary restraining order against the
Southwestern roads at Paris on April ID.
