Georgia Is A Big State.

Georgia has more territory than any
other State east of the Mississippi riv-
er. Georgia has a greater population
than any other Southern State except
Texas; Missouri is rather Western
than Southern State.
A comparison with some other States
both old and new gives a more impress
sive idea of Georgia's size than a mere
statement of her population.
Georgia has enough people to make
four States the size of Colorado. two
and half States AZ large as Counecti-
cut, four as ,rge rs Florida. 10 as large
as Delaware, IA a. large as Idaho.
Georgia's size as compared with some
other States may be expressed by the
following figures, one representing the
population uf each of the States nam
ed:
Maine, 2;-Maryland, 2; Montana, 8;
Nevada, SO; New Hampshire, ST; North
Dakota, Z; Oregon, 5; South Dakota,
st; Vermont. Ct; Washington, 4; West
Virginia. 81; Wyoming. "a. Georgia
has more than two-thirds as much pop
ulation AS the eutire United States
had at the formation OF the Govern
ment. And yet GenIgia is greater in
almost every thing el-e than in p ,pula-

There are some women who seem to
be perennially youthful. The grown
daughters are companions as well
children, and the color in the mothers
cheeks, the brightness in her eyes, the
rOundness of her form, all speak of
abounding health. What is her secret2
She is at the middle age of life when
SO many women are worn. wasted and
faded. and yet time has only ripened her
charms. The secret of this matronly
health and beanty may be told in the
brief phrase, DIR. Pierce g Favorite Pre- :
scription. The general health of WON
an is 80 intimately related to the local
health of the delicate womanly organs,
that where these are diseased, the
whole body must suffer. ''Favorite

tion, cures female weakness and lmparts

A COINCIDENCE.
DR.. r. N. Craig and General R. D..
Lilly.

The members of the Synod Of Vir
ginia from Staunton, who were al
Newport News, and others who wit.
messed the tragic death of Rev. DIR.
Craig, were sadly reminded of very
similar scene which occurred in 1885
in the same body during its session in
Richmond that fall. 1t was also on
the second day of the session when
Gen. R. ID. Lilly. popular and res
pected member of Synod, from the
First church StauntOn, also at the
conclusion of speech before the
body. was stricken with paralysis and
fell unconscious in his seat. The
members of synod and the audience
were greatly moved, when, during the
recess, which was Immediately taken,
the insensible form of the gallant,
one armed Confederate soldier and
elder was born out of the church In
the aarms Of his fearful colleagues.
The touching prayer of sympathy also
followed, soon after to be succeeded by
bis death, and his body, too, was es-
corted to the station and sent to his
home in Staunton, accompanied by
two of his friends and fellow members.
Rev. Dr. D. K. Mcfarland and Elder
L. G. Morton, where the remains were
buried in Thornrose, followed to the
grave by large concours OF citizens
and friends.
1t was thought at first that DR..
Craig's remains would also be sent to
Augusta to be buried among his rela-
lions here, but telegram was, after
some hours, received from his son in
Atlanta directing that they be sent
there, and this was done. They were
placed temporarily in a vault and
nave since been given sepulture in
Louisville. The synod. nerO1sly

Hanna In 1904.

1t is natural enough for Senate,
Hanna tosay that he is tired of politics
and would not care to succeed Mr.. Nc.
Kinley as President of the United
States and Emperor of the Philippines
in 1904. Mr.. Hanna has been under q
heavy strain for several months, and
must experience something unpleasant
ly like physical prostration by this
time. However, he will rest and be
himself again before long, and then, no
doubt, he will see the rainbow of
promise which Speaker Henderson has
discovered in all it's glory.
1t must be conceded that the Buck.
eye Senator is the logical successor to
William the Smiling. He has carried
two national elections as a result of
his genius for organization and his
ability to corral the sinews of political
war. What he has twice done for an
other, be should be able to do for him
self. and we cannot conceive that a
party which owes it's successive and
overwhelming triumphs to him could
or would refuse him a nomination
which four years hence will be equiva-
lent to election.
We do not suppose that the Hanna
idea will be pleasant one for Mr..
Roosevelt to entertain. It is general
ly understood that he only accepted
the Vice-Presidential nomination at
Philadelphia on being promised that be
should head the Republican ticket of
1904. But practical politicians like
Mr.. Hanna, Mr.. Platt, and their Wall
Street partners, do not care particular
ly about small matters of that sort.
Roosevelt has served his purpose.
Hanna has him safe to occupy dusty
and silent shelf up on Capitol Hill.
Platt has him finally eliminated from
New York politics. His feelings and
his objections will be 4uite negligible
from this time on. Mr.. Hanna has
fairly earned promotion and should not
be robbed of it. The American people
in re-electing Mckinley have thorough
ly endorsed his political creator,
Roosevelt is but frazzled khaki man.
Hanna is the real thing.-Washingron

BRYAN WAS KNITTED.
AZ We Expected Plot Developed In New
York FOR His Defeat.

The figures showing that the plural.
ity for Mckinley in the State of New
York is 152, 1856, aud that for Odell 92,-
060, difference of 59,3s6 in Stanch-
fields favor, as compared with Bryan,
were shown to John B. Stanchfield
yesterday. Mr.. Stanchfield said be
had not anticipated such difference
between the heads of the State and ma
ti0nal ticket.
"This difference" he said, shows
that upon purely State issues the DEM
ocratic party has reason to believe it
can carry the State. I see by these
figures Brooklyn gave Mckinley. g.
524 plurality and $500 to myself. Such
results indicate that thousands of
Democrats who have felt constrained
to vote for Mckinley still desired to
retain their connection with the Dem
ocratic party. 1t is probable that a
great number OF others who voted for.
Mckinley did not take the trouble to
split their tickets. l do not see in
these figures reason for discourage
ment with relation to the next guber-
Material election. We carried the State
in 1897; we barely failed to carry it for
Governor in 1898. With wise party
action, and the inevitably aggressive
conduct Of the Republican party, re-
sulting from the complete power it has
attained in the legislature, it seems to
me- the Democracy should sweep the
State in 1902"

Biggest Nugget Of Gold.

The biggest nugget Of gold ever re-
ceived at the assay Office in Wall street,
New York, according to Superintend-
ent Andrew Mason, arrived last week
from the Carlboo Consolidated Hy-
draulic Mining Company. in British
Columbus. 1t was consigned to the
New York agents of the Bank of Mon
treal. The nugget contained a frac-
tion over 753 pounds of the solid yellow
metal, and is valued at $l54 200.
1t came in solid cone, the shape of
a bee hive, and stood about two feet in
height. The cone was wrapped in can
vass and fitted in an oblong box made
Of two inch planks and heavily bound
with iron. The gold was held firmly
IN the box by two wooden wedges driv-
ven in from the top. Two heavy iron
rings were set in the sides of the rough
box, and through these were fitted
wooden bars, by which the box was
lifted. 1t required four men to remove
it from the truck In the assay Office to
the scales.
1--WE do not like to get these large
nuggets" said Superintendent Masan,
"because it is so difficult to handle
them. But it is because they are diff
cult to handle that the miners like to
mould them in bulk. 1t would be next
to impossible for robbers to run away
with nugget like the one received last
week, and it accordingly costs less for
the minors to insure it in transit.
"We shall melt the nugget down and
mould it in bars of size convenient
for handling. 1t will be weighed again
after it has been melted down and
and this weight will form the
basis of payment"

is true.
Do you object to revealing his nameY
No. AS you are aware my first
choice was Major Young, because be-
lieyed the Democratic Party could more
easily carry the State with him than
with any other man. Major Young,
however, has positively declined to let
his name be used and he Is therefore
