Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not a quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years and is a
regular prescription. 1t is composed
of the best tonics known, combined
with the best blood purifiers, acting
directly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such won

An APOSTLE OF EDUCATION

There is one crown Of glory that
cannot be taken away from Governor
Hoke Smith He has been persis-
tent and consistent apostle of edu- I
cation for the youth of Georgia. Be
cause of this the recent enthusiasm
shown for him at the Methodist con
ference of this district was well
merited.
Governor Smiths interest in edu-
cation is not new impulse. For
many years he has been an active and
enthusiastic advocate of better pay
for the teachers. better school houses,
and higher standards Considerable
of the uplift of the school system Of
Georgia is doubtless due to his dis
interested efforts in that line If we
recoIlect correctly. long before he
became Governor he was instrument
tai in the inauguration of the travel
ing library system. That promised to
be a decided stimulus to the intellec-
tual life of the country districts
Whether it is still in vogue we are
not aware, but if not the more the
pity.
In every effort he puts forth for
the improvement of the school sys-
tenn of the State Gov. Smith should
receive the hearty endorsement and
sympathy AMI support of all OF his
fellow citizens There can be no
factionaI lines in such an important
matter as this Education comes too
close to the hearts of all Georgians
to permit of any efforts in its be-
half being hampered by political
partisanship Our schools are still
too far from being what they should
be to permit of any one tying the
hands of Gov. Smith, or any one
else for that matter, who is zealously,
intelligently and enthusiastically do
ing what he can to raise the stand
ard throughout.
We have no doubt that the cause
OF education really lies close to the
heart of the governor, and that out
of office as well as in he will be
found using his time, money and
brains in it's behalf. And it is not
unlikely that he will be remembered
fully as much for his work in that
line as for any reputation that may
attach to his name through his cabi-
net work, his term as Governor, or
any other political honors that may
come to him in the future. And, after
all, no greater encomium could be
paid to him, or to any other Geor
gian, than to say that he was instru-
mental in elevating our schools to
the position they should rightly hold
in the public esteem, in advancing
their curriculum to point where
it compares satisfactorily with that
of the schools of other and Weather
states, making it possible for every
boy and girl born or reared in
Georgia to secure an excellent educa-
ton in the public schools of the state.
Such is what Gov. Smith is striving
for. And that is really a greater,
more satisfactory and more abid-
ing fame than the vast bulk of the
fleeting honors won in political Of
fees.

The Philadelphia Record hopes
that Taft will not surround himself
in his cabinet and his bureau officers
with personal friends and boon COM
panions but by men representing the
people of the United States, compel
emit to advise the President, and pos

Vorys Taft's State manager in the
recent campaign, says Charles Taft
has the senatorship cinched, and
that doubtless settles it.
Here is the future program as the
Cincinnati Enquirer sees it,
IF Mr.. Burton should fail to de-
feat Charles p Taft for the Senate
he will be a candidate again in 1910
when the Legislature will elect a
successor to Senator Charles Dick,
unless he happens to be a member
of President Taft's Cabinet. Should
he be a cabinet officer at that time
former Governor Myron T. Herrick
will loom up conspicuously as an as
piFant for the toga. But if he should
not be in the Cabinet, it is likely
Colonel Herrick will be- The two
men are intimate friends of Judge
Taft, and have done valiant service
for him during the last year and q
half. The Judge is not insensible to
such obligation, and would like to
show his appreciation in substan-
tial manner. But it is obvious he
cannot be for both of them at the
same time in a fight for the Senator
ship, likewise he cannot appoint both
Of them to his Cabinet at the same
time.
Therefore, the logic of the situa-
ton is that either Burton or Her
rick would sit at the council table
in the Executive Office at Washington
during the next four years. In view
Of the fact that Herrick acquiesced
in the endorsement of Burton for the
Senate by the Cuyahoga County
(ClevelanO Republicans last spring
1t is more likely to be the Represen-
tative than the Ex-Governor.

1t has been decided in Ohio that it
is legal to sell liquors on a train
while in motion through dry coun-

in dry territory the sales must
cease until the wheels begin to move
again. It takes a lawyer to show
how laws don't always really mean
what they purport to mean.

Gen. Fred Grant wants the army
and the navy combined into one gov
eminent department, under one head,
known as the Department for De-
fence" It is also suggested that the
improvements of rivers and har5ors
be placed in the hands of the De-
partment of Commerce, and that the
army engineers return to active work
with the army. Evidently there is at
least a possibility of important
changes in the management of army
and navy affairs during the next ad-
ministration, one being the reduc-
ton of bureau chiefs to more sub
ordinate position than they now oc-
cupy.

Americas, Ca. Dec. sth, 1908.
CAPT. FELDER'S GREAT OPPOR-
TUNITY.

Capt Fielder will enter upon the
discharge of his. duties as mayor
again with the best wishes of the
entire community. The recent cam
paign was marked by no bitterness.
Whatever little partisan feeling may
have been aroused has already sub
sided, and the people of Americas
stand ready and willing to support
the incoming administration in ev-
cry movement it makes that will
rebound to the good of the commun-
ity.
Through his former terms of ser
vice at the head of the municipal
government Capt Fielder is well
equipped for the responsible duties
that attach to the position. TIE takes
hold of the reins eminently qualified
to give Americas a progressive and
prosperous administration of its af-
fairs.
Much depends upon the next adj
ministration. In its hands really
rests the question as to whether
Americas is to make rapid strides
during the next two years or sit
still, with folded hands The on
ward march of the city can be accel-
Grated or it can be retarded by 1he
incoming mayor and those associated
with him in the conduct of the city
government Fortunately Capt Eel
der's record treasures the public that
he can be relied on to keep the
wheels of progress in motion.
Capt Fielder will take charge OF
the city affairs finding several i'm
portant problems confronting him
The question of sewerage is one
of vital Importance at this juncture
The city's development in some
directions seems to depend upon the
extension of its sewerage and water
systems. Then there is the question
of paved streets in the business sec
ton. 1t would be a decided honor to
Capt Felder's next administration OF
municipal affairs if It could be said
that he entered Office this time with
the business section unpaved and left
it in a highly improved state. The
people have voted for the bonds. II
would appear to be clearly within the
power of the incoming administration
to issue them and start Americas
moving forward at a more rapid pace
than ever before.
Then there is the new school house
No one questions the absolute nee
essity for new building. The PEG
pie have also voted bonds for that
important improvement Why moth
ing has ever been done in that di-
rection the public has never salts
factoriIy ascertained. The exp1ana-
tions have all been of an enigmati-
cal character.
The whole community will wish
Capt. Fielder a highly successful adj
ministratfon. And the whole COM
munity, with few if any exceptions
we believe, would be delighted if his
next term as Mayor would be mark
ed by the building of new school,
house and the improvement of the
streets in the business section. Thai
would be almost enough credit fol
any administration and would en-
title it to the applause of citizens
without respect to political affilia-
tions.

Work is progressing on the Horse- shoe mines, at Cerbat. Manager Thorn expects to soon have connection made from the bottom of the deep shaft with the contiguous veins, where good bodies of ore are believed to exist.
 s. c. Bagg is finishing up assessment work on the Cyclopic group of mines, in Gold Basin. He has more than 1O0,- 900 tons of ore in sight in one mine, which is said to carry enough values to make it all exceptionally fine mill ing rock. 4,000 tons of tailings at the mill give an average value of AS per ton, which can be recovered readily by the cyanide process.
 c. w. Kinne, assayer and mining man, is in Kingman from his home in Chloride. He reports that the Night hawk mining company will soon begin operations on the mine, some new ma chinery going in there about the twentieth of this month. The Night hawk is one of the best silver proper ties in the district, having been pro- ducer from the grassrOOts.
 Joe Prisk, John Barry, Jr., and Joe Perdue have been at work the past two months on the Home Pastime mine, at Mineral Park, and have just cut into one of the finest bodies of ore ever opened up in that property. The drift is now in ore that will average 300 ounces silver as it is broken down. The streak so far averages more than eighteen inches in width. The lessees report that they have enough ore on the dump to pay all expenses so far in- cured, although not one pound of ore has been stopped. As soon as stopes are opened the miners expect to take out big quantities of ore. The Home Pastime mine has been large shipper of high grade ore, but during the past ten years little work has been done on it. It is to be hoped that the opening up of new bodies of ore below the water level in this property will in- duce men to go to work on some more of the old time properties and try for new ore bodies.

The final payment of 75,000S due Clark x Scanland from the Calumet & Arizona Copper company, for their Copper Creek mines, was made last week and title passed to the purchas- ing company, says the Florence Blade. At the same time the company made a final payment of 4,OO0$ on a group of claims adjoining the Clark x Scanland group in which controlling interest was held by Superintendent Cooper, under whose direction the development work on the latter group has been prosecuted. The company has also acquired, by location number of con- tiguous claims, hence their combined holdings cover large area of ground. The exploration work which has been in active progress for about two years past on these properties, has demon- strated beyond the peradventure of a doubt that in richness and extent of ore bodies, this great property is a close second to the bonanza mines of the Calumet & Arizona company, at Bisbee, and the company is preparing to equip and develop them upon scale never before attempted in this county
