In late years men have made for
tunes out of the tailings of gold mines.
The mills in which the ore formerly
was crushed and the crude processes
then in use allowed large percentage
of the precious metal to escape, and
that loss amounted in some cases to
fortune. The stomach is just like
stamp mill in this respect, that when
it is not in perfect order it allows the
escape and waste of much of the prec-
ious nutrIment contained in the food.
That loss when continuous means the
loss of mans greatest fortune-health.
Science offers remedy for this condi-
tion in DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t corrects the weakness
of the stomach, prevents waste and
loss of nourishment. and puts the
stomach and organs of digestion and
nutrition into a condition of health
which enables them to save and assim1-
late all the nutriment contained in the
food which is eaten. In all cases Of
constipation the use of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets will speedily and per-
manently cure the disease.

ant-Governor Edward Echols will be a

For sixteen years Mr.. Echols has

been marked by lofty sentiments and
unimpeachable integrity. He stands
for all that is best in politics and his
private life is one that commends itself
to all men. He is lawyer of ability,
and has a great many warm friends
and admirers in all sections of the
State.
His service as State Senator an6
duties as presiding officer over the up
per branch of the Legislature has Civ
en- him a competent knowledge of The
affairs OF the State, and in his sount
judgment and loyalty her interests
would be safely guarded.
Personally Mr.. Echols is mos
compani onable and agreeable gentle
man .andthose who have longest known
him bear strongest testimony as to BIZ
high character and answering fideli
ty to his friends. He is in every wa,
worthy of the honor to which be as

THE SUMS ECLlPSE.
An Interesting Statement by Prof. FsH' !
BigeloW.

Professor F. H. Bigelow has written
an interesting statement of the total
eclipse of the sun May %, 1900.
The path of the shadow, he says, Will
begin at sunrise over the Pacificocean
just to the west of Mexico, and extend
thence northeastward over the SoutR-
ern States from New Orleans to N0-
folk, crossing the middle portions ef
the North Atlantic to Portugal and
terminating near the northern end OF
the Red Sea at sunset.
The location of the track in the
United States is remarkable for its con-
venieut accessibility to a multitude OF
people. He estimates that more than
half million persons will see the to
tai eclipse of more or less duration
from their homes, and many more will
take advantage of the opportunity TO
see the event of a lifetime.
Educators should encourage their
students to see it, and he suggests it
would be a popular thing for the rail-
roads to arrange for excursions to the
cities and localities affording the most
favorable opportunities for a sight, as
there are good hotel accommodations
through all the section affected.
The United States Weather Bureau,
which has been conducting cloud
survey of the region, predicts the
chances for fair weather as almost GER
tain in Georgia and Alabama. The
track will pass over Mobile, Montgom-
cry, Macon, Milledgeville, Augusta,
and Columbus, little south of At
Ianta.

About "0rgans."

Says the Baltimore News: "The
Courier Journal is an excellent news.
| paper in many respects, but it is going
through the humiliating experience of
every paper which deliberately makes
up its mind to become party organ"
Why, wuts the matter err yer?'
The COurier-J Journal was never party
organ during the S5 years when its
word was party law 1t certainly is
not a party organ, now that nobody
pays any attention to it. Hadn't you
heard about its being 'ruined?'
Hark ye, sonny, and listen to your
popperl In contest between the
Democrats and the Republicans, we
are, as rule, for the Democrats, but

Why President Davis Was Not Tried.

An ex-Confederate officer, says the
Dallas News, explains thus why Jeffer-
son Davis was not tried for treason:
Salmon z. Chase, Chief Justice of the
United States Supreme Court, put this
query to his colleagues on the bench:
"a man cannot be tried for treason un-
less he is a citizen of the United States
can he ?'' ''Assuredly not,' was the
unanimous reply. "Can you show me
under the authority of the Constitution
or any law of Congress, went on the
Chief Justice, where any man is a
citizen of these United States The
people of this country are citizens of
their respective States and not citizens
of the United States" This position
being assented to MIR. Davis was not
tried. Mr.. Chase's discovery" led to
the adoption of the fourteenth amend
ment.
