made better showing while he was
chairman if he had been provided with
sufficient means to defray the ordinary
expenses of congressional campaign.
1t is said that the Griggs committee
would have been obliged to go out OF
business several months before the
last campaign closed had it not been
for the generous contribution to the
committee by William r. Hearst. 1t
was his timely assistance to the con-
gressional committee that stimulated
interest in his behalf among certain
democrats.
GETTING HEADQUARTERS READY.
Both committees intend to establish
headquarters in Washington for the
distribution of campaign literature.
Chairman Cowherd has already desig
mated Senator Carmack 10 serve as
chairman of the subcommittee on
campaign literature. Senator Carmack
is expected in Washington in few
days, and the~material manufactured
during the recent debates in congress
will soon be burdening the mails under
congressional frank. The republic
cans are making similar preparatiO rs,
and by this liberal use of the ranking
privilege the postoffice officials have to
work harder, but the postal revenues
are not materially increased.

WERE MARRIED UP A TREE
While an Angry Bull Beloved a
Wedding March.

The most unique marriage OF the
season was celebrated near Susque-
hanna, Pa, the other evening. Cbas.
Bangs, his sweetheart, Miss Swanger,
and Rev. Mr.. Hunter were returning
from wedding across the meadow of
a neighbor. When half way across
they were attacked by big Texas
bull. The young woman proved her
agility by climbing tree. Bangs and
the preacher were not slow to follow
suit The trees we're close together,
so that conversation was easy. After
waiting half an hour for the bull to go
away, which he showed not the slight
est inclination to do, the preacher
suggested that it might be long time
before the opportunity for so novel a
marriage again presented itself. Bangs
said he was willing. So was the girl.
While the bull beloved a wedding
march, therefore, the preacher up the
tree asked the man and the maid, sim
ilarly up tree, if they would take
each other under the regular agree
ment Their replies being satisfacto'
ry he pronounced them man and wife.
After waiting half an hour more the
owner of the bull came and drove him
away, and the wedding party descend
ed and went home happy.

A Washington dispatch to the Sa-
vannah News says the republicans and
democrats are counting on an exciting
struggle for control of the next house
of representatives. Both congressional
committees are busy with their plans
for the coming campaign.
Chairman BahcOck proposes to give
closer attention to the southern states
than heretofore, and candidates are to
be put forward in every district in
which there is fair chance for re-
publican contest. Under those condi-
tions it is expected that large num-
Der of contested cases will blossom out
in districts which have previously been
regarded as safely democratic.
Chairman Cowherd is having his
first experience as manager of the
democratic committee, and he realizes
that he has his hands full to outpoint
the veteran Babcock, who is serving
his fifth term at the head of the repub-
can committee.
REPUBLICANS HAVE PLENTY MONEY.
The republican organization makes
liberal provision for expenses of the
Babcock committee, while democrats
seem to think that the work of their
congressional committee can be per-
formed without the aid of funds. Rep
resentatlve Jim Griggs might have

BACK PAY FOR SOLDIERS.
Those Who Enlisted for Spanish
FroIic to Get More Money.

Judge C. 6. James. of Cedartown was
in conference with Gov. Terrell for
several hours Friday with regard to
the back pay due the soldiers from
Georgia who served in the Spanish
war. Judge James has been appoint
ed by the governor to file the claim
for the Georgians. Each name and
the amount due each soldier must first
be secured. This money is due from
the time at which each soldier report
ed at headquarters up to the time OF
his actual enlistment, which amounts
to anywhere from few days to two
weeks Or more. Judge james estimates
that the total will be about $4,000.
Georgia has until July l, 1906, to file

4HH NAY GO TO MANASSAS
DAWSON GUARDS MAY CAMP ON HIS
TORlC BATTLE FIELD.
Colonel WOoten Has Offered His EAtire
Regiment for the Trip. Georgia aay
Send Two Thousand Men.

n Speaking of the fall maneuvers that
are planned 10 take place at Manassas,
\ Va, next fall, the Atlanta Constitution
says:
Adiutant General S. W. Harris re-
ceived report yesterday from the
commanding officer of the second in
fantry regiment stating that he would
oe prepared to carry four companies
with minimum of fifty men each to
the fall maneuvers of the regular
army, to be held beginning September
. at Manassas, Va. This makes total
i OF 1900 Georgia troops who have ex.
pressed q desire to attend these ma
neuVers with the first cavalry regiment
yet to be heard from.
1t is altogether probable that Geor-
gIa will have something like $500
troops for these maneuvers, hes quota
oeIng under the present arrangement
only 1900. 1t is expected, however,
mat this Quota will be increased and
IL may be that the entire $500 can go
Ior The fall two weeks. In the event
'uat this is not possible, then some of
'ue troops will have to come home
after one weeks tour, and those re-
lnaInlng sent on for the last week.
Colonel Wooten of the fourth regi-
Hent Infantry was in the city yester-
1aY and spent some time at the capitol.
OoloneI WOOten has offered his entire
regiment forthis trip, including twelve
companies with minimum of fifty
men each, or total of 900. Colonel
"oOten said he consulted all his caps

BADLY PRESSED FOR FUNDS
MONEY is NOT FORTHCOMING FOB THE
GEORGIA BUILDING.
Those in Charge of the States interests
at st. Louis Nearly at the Point of
an Embarrassing Position.

Unless those who have subscribed TO
the fund for the Georgia building at
ST. Louis makes prompt payment the
state commissioners appointed to see
that work through will find themselves
in somewhat of an embarrassing DO
sition.
OF about Sl5, 800 subscribed to this
fund there has been paid up to date
only ST, 451 go, which includes the 81
600 worth of lumber donated by the
Georgia lumber merchants. There is
balance due of $8,054 on the fund sub.
scribed, and it is said the Georgia
commissioners are very much in need
of it In view OF the fact that the build
ing is being pushed to completion now
as rapidly as it is possible to get it in
shape 1t is fully expected to have the
building completed by June l.
1t is stated that the funds which
have been collected to date are about
exhausted in making payment for the
work already done. The Georgia COM
missioners have the promise of other
payments this month and they will
undoubtedly have to have the money
to pay the contractors when the build
ing is accepted. The building itself
will cost more than S11 600 and after
that is paid the commissioners will
still he short of the necessary amount
of funds to keep it open during the
worlds fair unless further subscrip-
tions are secured. Besides the cost of
the building about 81, 100 has already
been paid out for freight On the lumb Der.
The committee hopes to collect the
remainder of the subscription.

Of attire more than any other which
brings out the good points or accentu-
ates the bad ones. not only of the eyes
and hair, but Of the complexion and
the shape OF the head.
Don't forget that if the hat is suited
to the wearer all else is forgotten and

Don't wear a hat turning back from
