This was invented by Mr.. Lee last

Mr.. Lee has no doubt that his inven-

fraught with much interest for the OPP

up to their usual standard, yet the
yield is much better than anticipated
three months ago.

TOOMER MAY BE CANDIDATE.
May Oppose Judge Hart for Attor'
ney Generals Place.


Atlanta, Dec 11.--It was talked at
the Capitol to-day that Hon. William
Tcomer of Ware county would prob
ably be in the race for Attorney Cen
eral against Judge John C. Hart of the
OcmuIgee circuit. to succeed Attorney
General Terrell. When questioned in
reference to this report, Mr.. Toomer
said:
Il am considering the propriety of
becoming a candidate for the place,
but have reached no conclusion In ref
erence to the matter, and will not do so
until after my legislative duties have
been discharged and l have returned
home"
Senator Lemuel Johnson of the Firth
district, a warm political and personal
friend of Mr.. Toomer's, in speaking
of the matter, said: IF Mr.. Toomer
enters the race for Attorney General
he will receive very cordial support
especially so from the Southern portion
of the state. He was formerly solicit
for general of the Brunswick circuit;
is a very fine lawyer and has large
number of friends through the entire
state and especially in the southern
portion of Georgia, who would be GLAD
to see him hold this office.

Large Attendance "A Surprise-Presi-

dress.
Atlanta, Dec. 1.-THE State Good
Roads Convention, under the auspices
of the National Good Roads Associa-
ton, began here this morning. The
attendance was a surprise to those
interested, nearly 300 delegates being
in attendance. The address of Presi-
dent w. II. Moore of the national as
sociation, which dealt largely with the
race problem, was frequently applaud
ed. Mr.. Moore called attention to the
fact that the whites of the South were
moving to the cities, leaving their
plantations and country roads TO the
carts Of negroes. He said many pee-
pie in the North believed the South
erner was capable of solving the race
question unaided. He urged organi-
zation in the matter of road building
in every country.
There were several hundred people
present when the convention was called
to order at 10:30 o'clock by Capt Cliff
ford l.. Anderson. Mayor Minis de-
livered the address of welcome, speak
ing also for Gov Gambler, whose official
duties prevented his being present.
President w. II. Moore of the National
Good Roads Association made the re-
sponse. Mr.. Moore said he had no fault
to find with the Georgia Legislature
for what they had done at the present
session, but he was told that they had
not done anything for good roads. He
was warmly applauded at the close
of his speech.
M. A. Hayes, a representative of the
Southern Railway, from Boston, who
is travelling with "The Good Roads
Special" spoke on behalf of the South
ern Railway.

convention went to inspect demonstra-
tions in road building on the Soldiers

Atlanta. Dec. 1.-THE Senate had the
anti-cigarette bill up to-day, the Gen
eral judiciary Committee making an
unfavorable report. There was consld-
erable parliamentary sparring over the
measure, an effort being made to Keep
Il down by rule preventing the taking
up of measures adversely reported.
However. the bill was acted on, the
adverse report was disagreed to by a
vote of II TO 10, and the matter was
committed to the Temperance Commit
tee which will make a favorable report
on it tomorrow. 1t is believed the
Senate will pass the bill.
A bill by Mr.. Norman of the Seventh

recommendation comes as a big sur

A FEW REASONS
Which Are Rapidly Making a New
Cntarrh Cure Famous.

Cntarrh Cure Famous.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new
Catarrh cure has the following ad-
vantages over other catarrh remedies.
First: These tablets contain no
cocaine, morphine or any other in
furious drug and are as safe and bene-
fetal for children as for adults; this is
an important point whent it is re-
called that many catarrh remedies do
contain these very Objectionable in
gradients.
Next: Being in tablet form this
remedy does not deteriorate with age.
or an exposure to the air as liquid
preparations invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but
1t is so far more convenient to carry
and to use at any time that IL is only
question of time when the tablet will
entirely supersede liquid medicines as
it has already done in the medical de-
partment of the United States army.
Next: No secret is made of the
composition of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's; they contain the active princi-
pies of Eucalyptus bark red gum, blood
root and Hydrastin, all harmless anti
esptics which, however. are death to
catarrhal germs wherever found, be-
cause they eliminate them from the
blood.
Next: You cannot cure catarrh by
local applications to the nose and
throat, because these are simply local
symptoms and such treatment can not
possibly reach the real seat of catarr-
hal disease which is in the blood; for
this reason, inhalers, douches, sprays
and powders never really cure catarrh.
but simply give temporary relief which
a dose OF plain salt and water Will
do Just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out OF the
system, out of the blood. by an in
ternal remedy because an internal
remedy is the only kind which can be
assimilated into the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this
better than the old form OF treatment
because they contain every safe speci-
hc known to modern science in the
antiseptic form Of the disease.
Next: The use of inhalers, and spray
ing apparatuses, besides being ineffec-
tive and disappointing IS expensive,
while a complete treatment Of Stuart's
| Catarrh Tablets can be had at any
| drug store IN the United States and
Canada for 80 cents.

Atlanta, Dec. 11.-Gov. Gambler has
approved the special dispensary bill
for Floyd county, of which Mr.. Wright
was the author. Speaking of the bill,
Gov. Gambler said: Il approved this
bill because IL was agreed upon as a
compromise between the conflicting
interests and opinions in Floyd coun-

without any ambiguity the question OF
open barrooms or dispensaries to the
people, and is not to go into effect
