PURE ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA.

There seems to be an earnest effort
being made in Savannah to stop the
use of money in elections. says the Au-
gusta Herald. It is high time that all
the Georgia cities took some steps in
this matter. A fearful menace con-
fronts any city that allows it's Offices to
be bought and sold to the highest bid
der. The corruption charged in Allan
ia and Philadelphia city councils can
be traced back to the bought votes that
elected bribed officers. The people
should see to it that vote-buying and
VOte-sellins should stop. A poor man
may salve his conscience in selling his
vote by specious arguments, but the
clty's birthright and privileges, those
belong to the whole body of his fellow
citizens and they should see that they
are not bought and sold. Surely some
thing can be done in the South to pre-
vent the debauchery of the ballot, now
that the negro vote has about been
eliminated

apois Sentinel The other day he
announced that every person at
tending service last Sunday should be
given a free dinner in the vestry of the
church. The experiment was highly
successful. The attendance was IN
creased, and the odor of the dinner
floating into the church impaired
added feryor to the proceedings. It is
now announced that the experiment
will be continued. The minister may
be just trifie undignifed, but he
seems to understand human nature.

Dear Sirs:-I have been suffering
from dyspepsia for 81 years. When.
ever would take strong diet I would
bloat up in the stomach. / would
suffer great pains in the head and stom-
ach and would be obliged to take to
my bed and remain sometimes for a
day and night. Nothing took did me
any good until last winter, when some
one advised my husband to get for me
a bottle of KODOL DYSPEPSIA CURE,
which he did. | used several bottles
of it and l am happy to say can eat
any kind of strong diet / please. /
can sleep well at night and / feel like
another person altogether. l cannot
give Kodol Dyspepsia Cure too much
praise, and I will highly recommend it
to all sufferers of dyspepsia. 49, Mrs.

FEWER ARMY TRIALS
During the Last Year There Were
6,o65 Court-Martials.
This Is 600 Less Than During Year
Previous--In Six Cases Death Sem
tence Was Imposed, Five Of
which Were COMMITTED.

Gen. George b. Davis, judge advo-
cate general Of the army, has submit
ted to the secretary of war his annual
report for the year ended June 80,
1901. 1t shows that during the year
there were 6,065 trials by general
court-martial. being 600 less than dur
ing the preceding year. OF these, 16
we're trials Of commissioned officers,
of whom ten were convicted. OF the
enlisted men tried 4,S06 were regulars
and 1,1G7 were volunteers. The re-
port says that the number of men sem
fenced to dishonorable discharge in
the regular army was /, ,s95, and in the
volunteer army 333, making total Of
2.22s. Death sentences we're imposed
hy court-martial in six eases of enlist
ed men, four of the eases being
on conviction of murder and
two on conviction of deser-
iion. The death sentences, except
in one case of murder, were commuted
by the president to dishonorable dis
charge, forfeiture of all pay and al
lowances, and Imprisonment at hard
labor for life in three eases, for seven
years in one case and for five years in
another case.
The records OF military commissions
during the year show that $50 per-
sons were tried, OF which number 100
were convicted and 202 acquitted. The
sentences in 40 cases were disap-
proved. Murder leads in the number
