IRWIN KEEPS UP FIGHT
viii Continue Efforts to AbOI-
ish the City Court.
ASKS VOTERS TO WRITE

Him a Card and Say They Want 10
Get Rid of 1t. Rencws Mr.. Mer-
GERS Proposition for a Vote of the
People on the Question.
Editor of The News: Every fair
minded citizen of Terrell county
ought to be willing to submit to the
majority rule in county matters.
The City Court is opposed by a
majority of the people in the county,
and effort has been made for the
past two years to abolish it, by leg
islative enactment or by direct vote
of the people, without success.
The forces advocating the court
contend that the majority favor the
court. If they are correct the court
ought to remain.
Why do the advocates of the court
steadfastly manipulate the legisla-
tive committees? Why do they OPP
pose and prevent a vote by the peO-
pie upon this question? Why is it
SAIt NllCS nave ~ mn tHC l65-
islative committees that the people,
with a petition of 500 out of 1900
voters, cannot through their repre-
sentative neither abolish the court
nor get an opportunity to vote on the
question? 1t is simply because the
advocates of the court know that the
people are unalterably opposed to it,
and they know if the people are al
lowed to speak their will by ballot
the court is doomed.
Let's have a vote on the court
1t may be done in the following
manner. l invite every man in Ter
rell county to get a postal card and
write on the back Against the
Court" Then address the same to
me, and if the majority is against
the court | will go before the legis-
lature with these voluntary state
ments, and all the chicanery and
Vaccinations of the advocates of the
court, will not prevent its destruction.
Surely no man who IS opposed to the
court will object to spending one
cent for a postal in order to have
his vote recorded.
Now, | wish to say one thing to
the people. | am personally making
no fight upon any officer of the City

They Are Still Pouring Hot Shot
Into the Delegation to Denver
The Disgruntled Ones.
the Moultrie Observer.

From the MOultrie Observer
The Georgia delegation to the ma
tional convention seems to have its
back up yet. Having been run over
at Denver by the steam roller OF the
Bryan boom they are unable to see
any good in Mr.. Bryan or any pros
poets of his winning.
1t is being suggested by the At
lanta correspondents to out Of town
papers, who always express the feel
ings of the disgruntled state politi-
clans when the said politicians have
not the nerve to express them out in
the open, that an effort will be made
to carry the state against Bryan. 1t
is even suggested that the state will
go for Tom Watson, and that Mr..
Taft will get a big vote. 1t is all
rot. Mr.. Bryan will carry Georgia
by his usual large majority, and
those sore-heads have no hope of
doing anything more than embarrass
Mr.. Bryan by giving the impression
in the doubtful states that the most
solidly democratic state in the I'M
ion, barring Texas, may leave the
democratic ranks.

AxE SHARP FOR TWO sINECUREs
While an Extra One Is to Be Created
With a Good Salary.

Bills to reduce the railroad COM
mission to three members and to
abolish the Office of attorney to the
commission have been introduced in
both the house and senate. 1t is not
likely that they will come up for pas
sage during the present session. The
bill was introduced in the senate by
Senator J. J. Mattox of the Fifth dis
trict. 1t was introduced in the house
by Mr.. Hardeman, representative
from Jefferson county.
The senate committee on agricult-
ure has agreed to report favorably
the bill of Senator Fielder to abolish
the office of state oil inspector. Ac-
cording to Senator Fielder the aboli-
ton of the place of oil inspector will
save the state at least $1,000 a year.
as the oil inspector has received that
salary yearly in addition to hist raw
cling expenses.

Glessner Hot in the Collar.

From the Griffin News.
Our Hoke Smith friends can at
any rate congratulate themselves up
on one thing-they never had a
chance to get on the Denver delega-
ton that insisted on splitting all of
Georgia's political fat in the fire.
Having effectually misrepresented
nine-tenths of their constituents
without gaining any glory for them
selves the Georgia delegation need
not be in any hurry about coming
home. A few side trips in the noun
tains would enable them to cool off
a little and give the rest of us a
chance to forget.
Georgia, at Denver, is as immova-
BILE as a rock. The attention of the
nation is drawn to Georgia. The
state knows about this 'anti-every-
thing business, and a burned child
knows how to act next time" boasts
the Augusta Chronicle, whose boss
is one of the big four of the delega-
ton that has been attracting the
attention of the nation" as the great
est aggregation of political chumps
that ever got that far from home.

TOOK TWO OUT OF THREE
Dawson Found Columbus Easy After
the Tie in the First Game. The
Official Score of Last Game.

Official Score of Last Game.
After playing Columbus to a tie
in the first game of the series of base
ball the Dawson team rallied and
took the last two games by the scores
of to 0 and 8 to /.
c. C. Ansley twirled for the locals
Tuesday, and gave up only three hits,
winning his game in a walk.
Wednesday, game was as pretty
an amateur contest as has been seen
in some time until the seventh in
ming, when the Columbus boys went
up in the air and allowed the locals
to tally six times before they de-
scended. John Hill, Dawson's home
raised pitcher, held his rivals safe
at all stages Of the game, giving up
only four hits in all, two of which
were the merest scratches.
The entire Dawson team played
good ball, while Peddy and Key
starred for the visitors. Keys catch
of Geise's fly just back of short in
the fifth inning was the feature of
the game. The box score follows:

Measure Re-enacted in Order to Make
1t Exclude Coming Elections.
The house of representatives has
re-enacted the disfranchisement bill
with an amendment that the law be-
come effective January /, 1909, in
stead of Immediately after ratifca-
ton.
The constitutional two-thirds ma
jority of all members was barely Sc
cured, the sergeant at arms being
forced to seine the capitol for mem
bers.
The last vote cast was that of Mr..
Hall of Bibb, who announced that he
was opposed to the bill, but would
cast his vote for it if the vote was
required to make the constitutional
majority. The roll call disclosed 121
votes in favor of the bill, and as the
majority required was 1872 Mr.. Hall
cast his vote for it.
The change in date is designed ia
prevent the law affecting the cleo
toral vote, and to prevent inferfer-
ence with the registration for the ma
tional and congressional elections in
November.

THE LATE CAPT. OXFORD.
The Farmers Union Passes ResOlu-
tions in Honor of His Memory.

The subject of this sketch was
born in Walker county, Georgia, May
Il, 1896. When about 20 years of
age he went to Texas; entered the
confederate army when very young,
and rendered valuables ervice, being
loyal to the cause he espoused, and
was faithful all the while, filling his
place nobly to the end.
He married Miss Mary Commander
in Terrell county, Georgia, August
~, 1865. This marriage was blessed
with several children, most of whom,
together with his beloved wife, sur
vive him to mourn his death. In his
death the community sustained a
great loss. He departed this life
May II, 1908, which date was his
seventy-secOnd birthday.
For many years he had been a
consistent member of the Sardis Bap-
, fist church. AS Captain Oxford be-
! lOnged to the Masonic fraternity, af-
ter the funeral had been preached
/ by Rev. M. B. l.. Binion the members
charge of the remains and inferred
them with the impressive ceremony
of that order.

Not the Democracy of Georgia.

From the Columbus Ledger.
Some of the newspaper CORES
pondents in Georgia profess to be-
lieve that there is a possibility of
Georgia not going democratic this
year. Upon what do they base their
opinion? Do they feel this way be-
cause the Georgia delegation to Den
yer cut up as it did? That delega-
ton is not the democracy of Geor-
gia, and 1t didn't represent a very
large proportion of the democrats of
this state in the convention.

RUINOUS TO HEALTH.
Are Chemical Personalities, Saws
Expert Wiley.

DR.. H. w. Wiley, the government
chemist, has made public the results
of his experiments with a number of
young men who were fed with foods
in which benzoic acid and benzoate
of soda were used as preservatives.
DR.. Wiley states that bezoic acid,
either as such or in the form of ben
zoate of soda, is highly Objectionable
and produces a serious disturbance of
the metabOlic functions, attended
with injury to digestion and health.
The symptoms attending are irrita-
ton, nausea and headache.
Results of these investigations
have shown" says DR.. Wiley, that
there is not a single article of food
which has been commonly preserved
by means of benzOic acid or benzoate
of soda which cannot be preserved
and offered to the consumer in per-
feet condition without the aid of any
chemical preservatives. This fact has
been completely demonstrated in the
case of elders and grape juice, mince
meat, jelly, jams, catsups, preserves
and other articles of the same char
acter.

Accepted at Their True Value

From the Blakely News.
Having made asses of themselves
at the national democratic cOnven-

delegation is now resentful because
the convention accepted them at

are told that Georgia is no longer a
democratic state, but is to go popu-
list or republican in November.

CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO ME.

MESS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main
4VA St, Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
LAS / have found Peruna a blessing
for severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which l suffered from for
number of years, am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as l suffered from,
made life a burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up so that ! was usually
troubled with a headache, and although
/ tried many sO-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. l was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
"However, l did buy bottle, and be.
fore that was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged l kept on until was com.
pIefeLy cured in a months time, and [
find that my general health is also ex.
cellent."
People who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet
represents one average dose of Peruna.

SOUTHERN CUTS EXPENSES.

Net Earnings for April Largest for
the Same Month in Eleven Years.
The Southern Railway has succeeded in
cutting expenses perhaps more than any
other road. An official OF the company.
in commenting on the exceptionally IA
vorable showing OF the net earnings for
April. says:
I'VE had hoped that the net income
from operations OF the Southern Railway
for the month Of April would reach
100000. The final result fell slightly
under our expectations. but the net in
come Of 1862. 2i0 was the largest made by
the company in any April for eleven
years, representing an increase OF S244.eOO
over the corresponding month in 1901
This was accomplished in the face OF a
contraction in the gross operating reve-
nue. of SSS2 100 leaving the total receipts
for the month al 1888 ,S56."
