ATLANTA AND YOUR UNCLE LIE
0NIDAs.

In an editorial suggested by the ru-
mors Of changes TO be made in some of
the congressional districts in the reap
portionment to be made by the general
assembly, the Atlanta Constitution,
speaking for Atlanta, protests against
having Newton county. the home coun-
ty of Hon L. F Livingston, taken from
the Fifth district, of which Atlanta
considers itself a considerable part The
Constitution says "Ten years ago the
present doughty congressman from the
Fifth might have been incorporated in
to the bosom of an adjourning district
without protest from Atlanta--but now,
neverr' Your uncle Leonidas has ac-
tually beaten the Atlanta politicians
not only into complete subsection, but
actually to the point of commanding
their esteem and admiration One by
one the strongest men Atlanta had
were put up to wrest the congressional
toga Of the Fifth district from the
doughty gentleman from Newton, and
every two years he had to meet an At
lanta man with a regul arity that would
have made some men tired. But your
uncle Leonldas only smiled and met
his adversaries as they came, and if
they came not he even went after them,
meeting them in joint debate IN their
own Atlala. The last one even failed
to carry hi own county, and since then
Atlanta, finding 1t can't beat your
uncle Leonidas, claims him as her own.

ALI the Democrats have to do to car
~ the country in 1904 Is to get to-
gether, keep their foolishness to them
selves and come down to the post with
. good ticket. The Republicans affect
great confidence. But they do not face
the music. They pursue the ostrich'S
policy of hiding the head around cor
ner, whilst leaving the body exposed to
view. The South need not and will
not get excited. We have said our say

ably plain language - and thereupon,

WHERE MEN ARE DEVELOPED,

AS Ghe Columbia state says, the
Spanish-American war established the
reputation for manhood and bravery of
the so-cailed city man, and dissipated
the prevalent idea that the culture and
the assumed cynicism of life he affects
are incompatible with the possession Of
soul and spirit. In many of the volun-
teer regiments that went to the front
or got no further than the unesthetic
camps, the dandy proved himself the
equal OF his less refined cousin when II
came to endurance of discomforts and
hardships."
The Spanish war was not needed to
demonstrate the citybred mans fitness
for soldiers duties. That was album
dainty illustrated in the civil war The
same thing has been illustrated in
: South Africa. Even the dude, whose
home and society antics amuse and dis
gust, is capable of being transformed
into man under proper incentive and
surroundings. This is the way Julian
Ralph describes the English 'Algie" as
he Is seen on the veldt: "Reggie is
still at it-laughing as he throws him
self on the ground to sleep, in wet
clothes, with the thermometer at zero;
gayly inviting friends to dine with him
when he is getting biscuit day for
his complete rations; drinking the
health of sweethearts and chums out

Of dead Beers and dead horses; being
shot at day after day, month after
month, year after year; cumming up
with CoIoaiaIs and Yankees (you have
No idea how many Americans are fight
ing on the English sIde), who slap him
on the back ana call him 'pard, old
man; running races on the sorriest
plugs, with Beers shooting at him to
make each merry contest race with
death; never complaining, never repin-
ing always being what he would call
'One of the very best
The army is an excellent place in
which to test the mettle of men. The
results are often surprising. Men
whose stamina, fortitude, courage and
soolness under trying conditions and
distressing circumstances would have
been confidently predicted and relied
on, 60 to pieces and wilt, becoming
helpless in their decentralization, ex-
citing surprise, pity and contempt;
while others, not calculated to inspire
confidence or high regard prove them
selves to be true mettle, courageously
cheerful, obedient and ready for any
duty which occasion may demand.
The army is the place to test men,
whether they be handles or dirt del
vers. The good red blood of genera
ations has not run to water in the
veins of those young EngIishmen who !
have exchanged the attractions of Lon
don drawing-rooms for a life OF danger
and hardship at the front. There Is no
drawer man than the English officer,
who may also be Scotchman or an
Irishman-but the Beers have shown
him or at least they have shown every
body else, that he has much to learn in
che matter of modern fighting and
tactics. -NashvilIe American.

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap'
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body
gives the first warning.
TO cure Cancer thoroughly and perma.
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep.
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced Out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in a small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows;

below the caro- the left side OF my face. 1t gavI

him, saying:

Melvin drew sigh Of relief and. re-
mounting his horse, rode back to Tur-
ners. He decided that there was no
immediate need for him to take his de-
parture from the Ridge. SO he would re-
main on few more days. 1t would

to Turner'S for his things, claiming he
had received a letter calling him back
home. and he would go that night.
There would be no waiting for the
morrow, not an hours delay, IL Robert
Marchand was there.
However, he was saved all the trou-
bic Of putting his plans into execution,
for as he passed along the road a mile
from his destination voice hailed him
from the woods, and, looking around,
he saw old Hi Jenkins sitting on a log.
"My Lord, young Teller" Jenkins said.

He would have laughed II jenkins had

In the situation to old Hi, however

he went he tarried longer than he had

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL
( AND THE
Pan-Amerjcan EXPOSITION,

io1-HIllCliOoii lApUSlllOil,
In none Of the new industries of the
last decade has there been greater pro.
gress than In the art of preparing and
managing great expeditions. It was
often said alter the Worlds Fair closed
its gates that this country would not
see Its equal in fifty years. That pre-
diction will be disproyed in the present
year of 1901; for in all but the SPACE oc-
cupted, the Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo will excel the great show of
1888. This means that more can be
seen IN the same length Of time at the
Pan American, with less.of the fatigue
and WEAKNESS that was unavoidable at
the Worlds Fair. The exhibits will be
az Varid, interesting and instructive as
1t ts possible to make them; and In the
matter of entertainment features, the
Buffalo show will surpass all former ex.
positions.
An artistic booklet, Of sixteen pages,
beautifully illustrated, and giving q
concise description of what this great
exposition ts to be, will be mailed free
on application to the undersigned.
The Illinois Central is prepared to
handle very large business to Buffalo
this season, and Ia In position to offer
unsurpassed service to the Exposition
City. The excursion rates have not
been announced as yet, but 80 soon as
they are, all those who have sent for q
copy of the Expedition Booklet will be
promptly notified.
