NO MORE DOMESTIC WINE.
1t Produces a Very Joyful Jag
i'm Thomas County.

The commissioners of Thomas coun'
ty have passed a law fixing the license
for dealers in domestic wine at 81, 00C
per annum. This is, of course, a pro
hibitive tax and means that no one
will be allowed to handle wine of bis
own vintage, as the sale from it could
not possibly profit the seller that large
amount.
The new rule went into effect Octo-
Der lst all over the county. 1t seems
to have given great satisfaction to
the people of Thomas county, but
many think that an injustice has been
done the dealers in not allowing them
to dispose OF the stock already on hand.
They claim that sthis domestic wine
will produce as fine jag as any kind
of LIQUOR, besides making a good shield
for blind tiger, and they want no
such joints anywhere in the county
under prohibition regime.

REPUBLICANS HAVE MONEY.
Democrats Are Hard Pushed for
Campaign Funds.

There is no doubt the republicans
have all the money they want for
campaign purposes. 1t was stated in
the New York papers few DAYS ago
that Gov. O0ell of New York called on
the National Republican Committee
for $4,000 with which to carry his
state, and that the outlook was that he
would get what he wanted.
Now we see it stated in some of the
same papers that leading republicans
of MARYLAND have come to the conclu-
sion that their party can carry that
state, and have called on Mr.. Cortel'
Won, chairman of the national re-
publicans committee, for the neces-
sary money. 1t is stated they will get
it. ea@sA8
The democrats are practically out
of funds from all accounts. They
have comparatively few rich men in
their party. Hence, they have to de.
pend upon voluntary contributions.
They are thinking of asking the south
to contribute something. No doubt
the response Will be liberal, though
since the south contributes Isl elector-
al votes no large cash contribution
ought 10 be expected from her.

cADY HERRIcK's NAME.
How the New York Candidate for
Governor Came by 1t.

Parents sometimes contend with
more or less fervidness over the name
of the baby. This happened in the case
of the present candidate on the DEM
ocratic ticket for governor OF New
York. One who knows has publicly
stated that it IL ID Cady Herrlck-no
period after the d to indicate that 1t
is an abbrevlation, for it is not. This
results, we are told, from difference
between the father and mother about
the name for the baby. The latter
wanted him named simply Cady Her
rick. The father wanted a double
name. The old man got the better
of the controversy and the boy, when
old enough, wrote his name D Cady
Herrick and the man continues to so
write it, though the d stands for
nothing except parental Difference. 1t
is an odd case, isn't il?

COFFIN TOO MUCH FOR JEEMs
He Construed 1t as a Warning
and Cleared Out.

Jeems Howard, young negro, has
disappeared from the neighborhood 10
north Muscogee county, where he has
been living. One morning last week
the negro found pinned on his door 9
piece of paper on which was drawn a
picture of coffin. The drawing show
ed a negro in the coffin. The picture
and the inscription with it caused
Howard to leave for parts unknown.
The negro, while drinking, went TO
the home of Hezekiah Land, well
known young farmer, and spoke in
most abusive manner to Mrs. Land,
her husband being away from home at
the time. The lady got her pistol and
ordered the negro of the place. He
went away cursing.

four weeks longer.

four weeks longer"
This conversation took place at Col.
Dilllngham's headquarters, at the Bee
Hive corner: and at that time there
were fully dozen people waiting to
obtain an interview with him. Owing
to the many people outside of Dawson
who are anxious to secure some OF the
wonderful remedies q special mail
order department was organized few
DAYS ago to send medicine in answer to
the letters received during the great
advertisers visit in Dawson. The
amount of business which this mail
order department is taking care of is
stupendous. Yesterday there were
received at the Dillingham; headquar-
tiers over fifty letters, inclosing any
where from one to five dollars, asking
either for Dillingham; Plant Juice or
the Plant Juice Liniment, or both.
Mr.. Mamie Nausbaum, who has
charge of this department for Col.
Dillingham;, in speaking of the i'm
mense amount of medicine he is ship
ping, said: From almost the first day
OF Col. Dillingham's visit the letters
have been pouring in and have been
increasing in number daily, until yes
terday we received over fifty with re-
quests for medicine. As one of the
reqests means the shipping of bottle
or two, you can readily see that 1t
keeps me fairly busy taking care OF
the orders. We send one bottle of
Plant Juice or two bottles of Plant
Juice Liniment upon receipt of one
dollar, or more in proportion. The
Plant Juice is kidney, stomach, liver
= Il - = all
cases of catarrh, stomach trouble, kid
ney and bladder complaints, torpid
liver and impoverished blood, being a
grand spring tonic: and the Plant
Juice Liniment for partial paralysis,
stiff joints, deafness and aches and
pains. This offer to send medicine
express prepaid will continue for one
month, while Col. Dillingham; is in
Dawson. After that he will be unable
10 handle any mail order business, as
we do not wish to leave anyone in the
city after the company leaves. AT the
drug store where q branch is located
and where information is given, the
sales have been steadily climbing, and
it looks very much as II the drug
store IN a few DAYS will have outstrip-
ped those at headquarters. 1t is under
stood for the last three days oyer two
hundred bottles of Plant Juice have
been sold each day, and the sales of
the remedy. is still on the increase"
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1904-10-12

Col. F. A. Dillingham; Plant Juice,
the medicine which is creating such
turore among Terrell county people,
and which is being introduced here by
Col. Dillingham;, the millionaire ad-
vertiser, is practically a new remedy.
1t was first introduced by Col. Dll-
bingham about year ago and has since
made him fortune which is estimated
above the half million mark. Although
this great advertiser has been In Daw0
son q little over a week the work he Is
accomplishing is the talk OF the town
and his lectures are being ATTENDED
nightly by immense crowds OF peo-
Pile. Although very busy. he yes
terday gave five minutes OF his Time 70
discussion on his work here and else
where. Upon being asked: "Colonel,
how do you account for your extreme
popularity in sthe cities you Visit ana
the immense interest you arouse SO
uuickly?" he smilingly replied: ANY
popularity which l may acquire Is not
by any means due to myself personally.
All success which has come to me
attribute to my good fortune in obtain
ing the formula which Is used In pre-
pairing Dillingham's Plant Juice. IL
is not on account of any special liking
for me that people come TO my head
quarters TO shake my hama as you
have seen them do while waiting here,
but it is simply owing to the fact that
this medicine which l am introducing
helps sick people, and the sick man or
woman who has been benefited is the
most grateful person in the world
We who are well cannot realize what
days and weeks and months Ofsufering
means. Good health, after all, is worth
more than anything else 10 the world,
and because am able to help these
moor people who have been sufferers
, with little or no hope before them, for
this reason, and this only, do win the
confidence and respect of the people in
the cities visit. While / believe in

Fortunate enough to make with my
less fortunate brethren, the money
that distribute for charity produces
only small portion of the friends
which I am proud to say acquire
throughout the country.

very reasonable price, which puts IL
within the reach of all. Every sale l
