LAND OF FLOWERS and SUNSHINE,
California Woman's Letter of Special
Interest to People in Americus.


At this seas on of the year letter
from the land of fl overs and sunshine is
of special interest to our readers. The
following letter from the Holden Drug
Co., of Stockton, CAL, one of the
largest drug houses on the Pacific
Coast, is of especial interest. They
write: 'Enclosed is letter from one
of the most prominent residents of this
city. She will not allow her name to
be published in the newspapers, but we
can furnish it to anyone writing u.s."
The letter is as follows:
FJr some four years my daughter has
had headaches, which seriously inter-
fered with her school work. Until re.
Gently we attributed the trouble to eye
strain, but happening to notice your
advertisement OF Hyomei, we were sat-
iti5d that her trouble came from ca
tarrh.
We purchased a dollar outfit, and
within twenty four hours great relief
was experienced, and the lOosening of
mucous matter aud the reduction of
throat inf smmation began. Sixty days
use OF Hyomei made nearly complete
gecovary, which we consider very s ATS
factory after nearly four years of ex-
pense and fruitless treatment by other
methods, and that we feel grateful is to
put it mild"

FARM, HOME AND FACTORY DAY.

Birthday as Farm, Home and Factory

main a good idea. The proclamation
as originally sent out by Mr.. Myrick,
the editor of the Orange Judd Farmer,
was pretty bombastic affair, not all OF
which has Coy. Elrod eliminated. But
he has greatly improved it and the
purpose and idea advocated Is worthy
OF every attention. Especially should
Gov. Elrod be commended for having

ton for government ownership Of rail

trouble with which il there Ii no end

government is to own and manage the
railroads, why not the express com.
panies, laundry and barber shops
factories, mills, farms, packing houses,
street railways and gas plants? The
government has already gone into the
printing business and for years hal
furnished stamped and printed en-
velopes to the public at prices tha
would ruin any printer, for the simple
and good reason that printing them by
the million they can make such prices
and still make a good profit But /

The republican party has got along
since the days of Lincoln without such
fads as primary law and has made q
record of the best country on earth.
It goes without saying the party can
keep up this good reputation without
having any strange ideas Injected into
Its organization. The primary law is
child of relic Of populism, the in
itiative and referendum, but as long
as it has come before the people in
regular way, even though it be mis-
chievous In its intent, 1t should be
passed up to the voters for decision.
We have no doubt but that 1t will
then be hung up, as all such fads
usually are. When the people OF the
state have had time to study the pros
visions OF the primary system we be-
lieve they will see too many objections
to 1t to adopt it. Now that the
capital question is settled there should
be some more diversion during the
next campaign and the primary law
wiz answer Rs well as any. Let US
anaySa . whacK at it--and knock 1t out.
Whether it is submitted to the voters
or not 1t is bound to be made an Issue.
In fact, its advocates will be more apt
to make capital out of it If il isn't sub
mitted than If it is, and it is suspicion
ed that this is just what they want
