SAVE THE BABIES AND CHILDREN

The hot summer months are now
at hand-the most fateful of all the
year for baby and child-life.
Every mother naturally breads
this season with it's sultry, enervat-
ing weather, which SO often proves
too much for many thousands of dear
little ones.
Some call it simply Summer Sick
ness, others, Cholera Infantum. But
whatever the name, it is mal-nutri
ton, and the death-roll of these lit
tie trademarks of Heaven become
yearly greater.
With an Oxygenator at hand, these
heretofore fatal summer diseases of
children lose all their terrors. as the
treatment and cure of such cases
may be made an incident of one and
the same day.

wick's partner in the executive COM
mittee meeting; that. they should go
home and hold meetings and demand
that the committee be called together
and that rule wiped out, and that he
would see that Hardeman called the
committee and wiped the rule out.
Then he suggested half an hour
for dinner and some more speaking
after dinner, when, he said, Mr.. Eve
and Mr. Evans would talk to the
voters.
Watson's Strongest Appeal.
Watson is going to rescind the
Hardwick rule, doing away with the
county unit system in the Tenth dis
trict convention.
That would be the conclusion one
would have come to, without hesita-
ton, when Tom Watson concluded
his second, and very brief, speech in
Thomson Saturday. He had spoken
for two hours and more in the earlier
part of the day, and came back in the
later afternoon, to go upon the plat
form after Mr.. Evans had delivered
an address. and just as Mr.. Eve con-
Guided his speech.
The speeches of both Mr. Evans

ceived by the audience, which was not
quite so large as that of the morning
due to the fact that a number of
the people had returned on the early
afternoon train to thier homes-but
yet numbered more than 1900 peo-
pie.
Mr.. Evans made substantially the
same speech he has made heretofore,
and bid strong for the votes of those
who were listening to him; saying
that he was in the race to the finish.
He scored Mr.. Hardwick mildly for
his do-nothing methods and yet the
claim that he was doing about all
there was done in Congress, and for
his idea that the office belonged to
him. He referred to his attitude to-
ward the farming interests and said
he was himself farmer. Particu-
larly he impressed the people with
the fact that he is bitterly opposed to

THE .JEFFERSONIAN
Threatened Watson's Life.

Threatened WatsOn's Life.
81 can't work with Hardwick. l
can't do that. Why, he has actually
threatened my life. He has actually
threatened t.at he will come here, if
l show him up today, and do me vio-
lence-that's what he's done. 1 can't
work with him, but can work with
Eve or can work with Evans y
At this point Mr.. Watson sprung
what was so far the greatest politi-
cal surprise of the day, when he
handed a letter to Major McGregor
and asked that he read it so every
body could hear it. The letter is
dated Millen, Ca, May IL, 1902, and
charges that Mr.. Hardwick destroyed
records from the Office Of the ordi-
nary at Sandersville in the absence
of the ordinary.
Mr.. Watson referred to the request
made on him to draw a memorial to
Congress to take up the matter of
the cotton war tax on the South, and
said that letter had been sent to Mr..
Hardwick by Joe Colvin, and abso-
lutely no attention had been paid to
it, that he had not even acknowl-
edged it's receipt.
Mr.. Watson went on to say that
this, though, was not the only in
stance in which Hardwick had not
or could not do anything; that Hard
wick had written Watson asking how
he should answer an attack by the
Republicans on the postal savings
bank bill, and Watson told him, and
that Watson had even taught him the
little he knew about finance.
Reverting to the letter from Millen
Mr.. Watson said he did not know un-
til last week Of Mr.. Hardwick's steal
ing the fl. fas out of one of the coun-
ty offices in Sandersville. ''And the
old Pops have kept that fellow in Of
flee, when really the first thing he
has ever done was to burglarize a
county office and steal and destroy
the thing that kept away from them
what was theirs by right. And that's
the man who came here and begged
me for my help, the man I took pity
on and helped. Now may God for
give me for letting my sympathy get
away with me.
''Who Will You Stand By?"
'Now, he says I have lost out with
the old Pops in the Tenth district and
that they are going with him and
against me. He drew that line;
that's what he said. Now, boys, will
you stand by me? I appeal to you.
If Hardwick is reelected l will be
considered in disgrace. Don't put
that cup to my lips. Stand by me, and
I'll fight your battles as long as God
gives me strength. Those of you who
are going to do this hold up your
right hand. Yes, keep them up and
let the reporters see for themselves. !"
There was wild cheer and what
appeared to be an unanimous hand
ballot. A number of voices in the
crowd cried out: ''Who do you want
us to vote for? Just say the word
and we're there" Tell us your man,
and he's ours" and similar express
sions.
Knock Out Hardwick's Rule.
Mr.. Watson then told his hearers
the first thing to do was to knock out
the Hardwick rule made by Hard

There are men in this crowd,
though, who have gambled with
Hardwick There are men in this
crowd who have seen Hardwick
drunk. Charlie Barrett saw him on
the train with another man, and they
were so drunk they couldn't tell
Charlie howdy. A few months ago,
it took two men to support him from
one train to another in the Georgia
Railroad depot.

to Macon and investigate this matter;
to see if these charges are true or
not and Mr.. Watson named again

Phillips and Wilkerson.
and l want to tell you some more,
too. Hardwick has been settling up
some Of those Macon gambling debts
since I got after him. In short pc
Rod he has paid up about 5000
guess about three months. Why,
there's no telling how much money
-Hardwick money! have put in
circulation in Macon recently.
Repudiated His Note.
"There were two men in Macon
gambling with Hardwick and who
held Hardwick's receipts for between
$4,000 and $4,000. Hardwick play
ed cards with Sam Edmondson a
whole day and a whole night, fairly
drunk all the time. He lost a con-
siderable amount of money. He gave
note for the sum, and then repu
dated the debt next time Edmond
son met him on the street.
''Hardwick gave another man in
Macon a check for SIS. Next morn
ing Hardwick got up early, went
around to the bank and stopped pay

dishonored draft or check up on the
wall of his bedroom and it stayed
there six months where everybody
could see it.
Il don't mean to say that every
man who will play cards for money
is vile character, but say this: the
man who will play cards and pocket
his winnings and repudiate his losses,

honor, especially when he is getting

Give Facts regarding
Dyspepsia.

Although indigestion and dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and
how to obtain relief. There is no
reason why people should not eat any,
thing they desire-if they will only
h it carefully and thoroughly.
Many actually starve themselves into
sickness through fear of eating very
good looking, good-smelling and good
tasting food, because it does not agree
with them.
Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. If
we refuse every article of food that
dlssgrees with Us, before long we have
nothing left, and find ourselves chronic
dyspeptics.
We are so confident that we can
furnish relief for indigestion and dys-
pepsla that we promise to supply the
medicine free of all cost to every one
who uses it according to directions who

Says Gov. Brown will Run.

The Atlanta correspondent of the
Athens Banner quotes Rev. C. E. w.
Dobbs as saying Governor Brown will
be a candidate for a second term.
The Banner correspondent says:
Governor Joseph M. Brown will
again be candidate for governor.
"This statement comes from Rev. G..
E. W. Dobbs, D. D., pastor of the Bap-
fist church at Fernandina, Fla, who
has been guest Of Governor and Mrs.
Brown for several days"
"Dr. Dobbs does not say that Govern
or Brown stated to him positively that
he would make the race, but the gov
ernor's conversation on the subject
left the inference that he had no other
plan except that of making his an
nouncement. In fact, Governor Brown
said in so many words that he had
practically fixed his campaign"
DR.. Dobbs was for number of wears
stationed as pastor in Georgia, hav-
ing served churches both at Carriers

SENATOR CLAY CALLS HALT

When the naval appropriation bill
came up in the Senate last week, carry.
ing an appropriation of $133, 900 ,00C
Senator Clay attacked it, saying the
country had gone wild over sea arma-
ment.
''We have lost our heads" he said,
"and if we don't stop we will bankrupt
the nation"
Asserting that the appropriation for
the navy proposed for the present year
averages 81 per head for each man,
woman and child in the country, he
said:
'In the past twelve years Congress
has passed laws authorizing twenty
new battleships. We are now expend-
ing almost $40, 900 900 year against
SOS, 1000, 900 twelve years ago. Apparent
ly we haven't the courage to top.
We are gone wild absolutely wild In
this day o! high Christian civilization
the nations are exhausting in their
mll1tary expenditures the resources
that ought to go to feeding the hungry.
We ought to stop and think"
BY quoting Senator Hale as author
ity for the statement that each of the
proposed battleships would cost not
less than Sic, 900, 900, Mr.. Clay aroused
general interest. Mr.. Gallinger ex-
pressed doubt and adduced figures to
show that the cost would not exceed
$4,000 600.
Mr.. Hale not only sustained Mr.. Clay
but added to his figures. He spoke of
the vessels as completely armored and
equipped and said the total cost of
putting one of these vessels in the
water probably would be nearer $751;
100000 than 100000

SENATOR CLAWS SPLENDID WORK

/ ties as a legislator. Although he has not
the title of leader of the minority. he
has, in fact, been the real leader dur

He has been so recognized by the reg

He has evidenced a resourcefulness
that has been pleasing to the members
of his party, and he has demonstrated
other qualities of leadership that have

senator's, Republicans, Democrats and
Insurgents, are men after all. He is
honest with them and he is frank,
and all elements trust him.
Senator Clay's proposition to strike
out sections seven and twelve of the
bill, and his speech upon these Sec
tons, placed him in commanding po-
sition. Section seven repealed the
Antitrust law, in so far as it applies
to railroads, and section twelve au-
thorized mergers. They were the

ions as these?" demanded Senator
Clay. Lets save time by striking
them out altogether"
The senate took Senator Clay's ad-
vice, but not until it became evident
that he had corralled votes enough to
pass his amendments did the regular
Republicans fall into line
Senator Clay is not we'll yet, how
ever. He is improving slowly, gaining
little strength every day and getting
his digestive apparatus in better shape
by continual doctoring. He is confident
of complete restoration to health, but
he realizes that it will take time and
require attention. He proposes to
stick by the work in Washington until
adjournment. He will then seek rest,
but he is undecided as yet where he
will go.
1t is possible that the Senator NAV
be back among his Marietta friends by
the middle of June.
