Defining His Position.

Years ago there was a member Of an
eastern legislature named Murphy, n
good politician, but hardly statesman.
Indeed his notions of parliamentary or
der and debate were crude. He was
so frequently out of order that the
speaker got in the habit of crying as
soon as Mr.. Murphy rose, "The gentle
man Is out of ordery'
Once, In the midst of an important
and exciting debate, he leaped to his
feet. The house murmured, and the
speaker brushed him aside with the
usual remark, THE gentleman is out Of
order!'
Murphy sat down, but presently he
was on his feet again.
"Mr. Prisidint, rise to a point Of
order. In justice I must explain that
the thing I intinded to say just now
when you called me to order had moth.
ing to do with what did not say"

&WNK fighting the bacteria which
z@ give US our diseases. Next
A to the actual bacteria of dis
ease, the mosquitoes and flies
are the most dangerous enemies of man.
The mosquito with its bite injects into our
veins malaria, yellow fever, and other fatal
troubles. The fly, with spongy feet, collects
the invisible germs of diseases, spreads
them over our food and poisons US with
typhoid, cholera and other plaques of the
human race.
Dr. Pierce, the eminent physician of Buff
falo, N. Y, says, uIf each person will con-
slider his system as an army of men which
he controls as general, and will see to its
proper provisioning and that it has plenty
of ammunition in the shape of good red
blood, he will be able to overcome the
enemy in these germs of disease" Every
healthy man has five million red blood
corpuscles to every square millimeter of
blood. The best tonic for increasing the red
blood corpuscles and building up healthy
tissue is no doubt DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery This medicine has been on
the market for over a third of a century
and numbers its cures by the thousand.
Many popular patent medicines or tonics
are made mp largely of alcohol and will
shrink the corpuscles of the blood and
make them weaker for resistance. What
is needed is an Alternative extract like DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made

hol, that will assist the stomach in aSSimi-
lating or taking from the food such ele-
ments as are required for the blood, also an
alternative that will assist the activity of the
liver and cause it to throw off the poisons
in the blood. When we have accomplished
this we have put the system in fortified
condition so strong that it can repel the
germs of disease which we find every
wherein the street cars, the shops, the
factories, the bedrooms, wherever many

PUT UP A REPUBLICAN.
The 'LiIy Whites" Ruled in the
Ninth District

Gainesville, Ca. July 2S.-The Ninth
District Republican Convention met at
Dahlonega to-day to nominate a can
didate for Congress. James M. Ashley
of Dawson county was unanimously
nominated. For some time it has ap-
peared that he would be named, though
recently fight has been waged on him
by faction of the party headed by
Postmaster Henry P. Farrow of
Gainesville.
Judge Allen of Ellijay was elected
chairman of the Executive Committee
of the district, and Judge James B.
Castor of Gainesville was made chair
man of the convention. The naming
OF Ashley to oppose Hon. Thomas M.
Bell, the Democratic nominee, and the
displacement of Col. Farrow as chair
man of the District Executive Com
mittee means that Lily Whites pre-
vailed in the convention and put the
Castor faction again in front of the
party machinery in the district.
Col. Farrow and his delegates left the
convention to-day because the control
of the machinery had fallen into Ash
ley's and Gaston's hands, and the
probabilities are that Ashley will not
be given very energetic support by the
negro Republicans of the district.

CLERK ORDERED
TO GIVE TRANSFER.
Had Refused Because His Fees Were

Statesboro. Ga, July 23.-Mr. J. Ben
Wilson, deputy United States marshal,
has just been to Statesboro to serve
papers on the clerk of the Superior
Court, requiring him to furnish a tran
script of a case transferred from the
Bulloch Superior Court to the United
States Circuit Court.
1t appears on the docket that Annie
Palmer ct, al. plaintiff, and Willie Lee
lnman, defendant. 1t grew out of a
suit by J. r. Hogan, the builder of the
Dover and Statesboro Railway, to re-
cover the difference between the value
of property sold under mortgage and
the actual debt and involves about
$500 acres of fine farming land at
Clio, in this county.
The defendant, residing in New

Superior Court for a transfer to the
United States Circuit Court, and Judge
DAILY granted the transfer.
Messrs. Osborne & Lawrence of Sa-
vannah represent Miss Inman, and
have endeavored to get the case trans
ferred, but have failed, because there
was about $40 costs due that the clerk
claims must he paid before the copy
would be furnished. Judge DAILY sus-

DEER AND DOGS AS FRIENDS.
California Gives Instances where

From the Hartford Times.
In the town of Oroville, Cal, now a
notable gold dredging center, where
live, 1 very recently saw a fawn, still
in its spots, unconcernedly rambling
about the main street; dogs that were
in nowiSe accustomed to it went up

and passed on. The fawn was per-
fectly unconcerned.
Two years age there was another
deer, over half grown, in the same
town, which had as it's companion and
safeguard a large Newfoundland dog
These animals were often seen playing
together, and went downtown together
at their own desire. On these trips
the Newfoundland seemed, by instinct
to know that the deer was at the mer-
cy of other dogs, and saw to it that
no dog molested the deer. The family
owning these two attractive animals
has moved from Oroville, taking it's
interesting friends.
