Catarrh is frequent cause of kid

Sometimes the catarrh is so slight as to
cause no attention. Other times itIeads

Any remedy capable of mitigating
the catarrh is a much more rational
treatment than to give palliatives that

BETTER TRAIN SERVICE
PLANNED BY CENTRAL
Midnight Train From Atlanta
Included

In Americas, as elsewhere, there is
general satisfaction over the improv-
ed train service announced by the
Central Railway effective next Sun
day. The schedule affects mostly the
service between Macon and Atlanta
although the addition of one train IS
to the great advantage of South Geor-
gia.
This is train No. IA, which will
leave Atlanta at midnight and arrive
in Americas by the same schedule
now in effect-5:30 p. N.
AT present the train out of Atlanta
at night for Southern Georgia leaves
that city at 1925 o'clock, kills" near
ly two hours in Macon after midnight,
and reaches Americas at $50 a. n.
Under the new schedule this long stop
in Macon is cut out, the train com
ing through direct as No. II.
No. IA will not stop between Crit
fin and Atlanta and will only stop at
GAINESVILLE and Forsyth to discharge
passengers who be aboard the train
at Atlanta
A local sleeper from Atlanta to Eu-
faula will be carried on No. IA and
a Pullman from Atlanta to Thomas
vile will be handled on the same
train. This train runs practically
solid through the Southwestern divi-
sion to Albany.
Under this new schedule, people
from Americas and this part of the
state can go to Atlanta in the mora
ing, arriving there at 10 o'clock, spend
the entire day, attend the theatre IN
the evening, leave Atlanta at Has
p. IN. and reach home at $50 next
morning. An excellent schedule and
one long desired.
The additional sleepers on this line
vii also prove a great convenience.

The leading article in the August
McClure's is an account in Detective

led up to the arrest of John McNd-

Structural Iron Workers Union, and
his brother James for the dynamiting
of the Los Angeles Times Building n
October, 1910. In spite of the storm

WHY NOT 4 PRESIDENTIAL PRIM-
AIRY IN GEORGIA!


/ That is not a bad suggestion that
comes from Arkansas. that the people
h. given an opportunity to express
their convictions as to the desirability
or availability OF the respective aspir-I
ants for the presidential nomination
To that end il is held a primary should
be held. just such as is proposed 20
allow the voters generally to express
their wishes relative to a senator.
In the past. all too frequently, pres-t
idential candidates have been named
with teh mass of the people playing a |
very small part in the selection. The
Republican candidates. as is we'll
known. corral the southern delegates |
through the political maneuyerings Of
a few Office holders in this section. in
some past campaigns for the nomina-
tion the southern delegates have been
bought and paid TO" in cash. Political
promises, of course, are generally the
currency employed.
The Democratic party has had no
such scandal as that attached to its
nominations. But at the same time
there has been no general and untram-
meled expression of the popular opin
ion as to the respective candidates for
the nomination. The state politicians
have manipulated the state conven-
tons in the interest of one or another
.Of the candidates, and the people have
.abided by the result.
The contention Of the Democratic
party at this time is that government
must come back more into the hands
of the people, from whom it has been
fllched by the politicians and special
interests. The clamor for the direct
nomination of United States senators
by the people is based on this idea
that the public has been deprived of a
proper voice in their selection in the
past and that the country has suffered
as a result. Why not apply the same
reasoning to the selection of the pres
idential candidates? Surely it is fully
as important that the people select
them as that they select the candidate
for senator the Legislators are to vote
for
The trend of political thought in
this country is described as being more
and more toward a pure democracy,
that is toward methods that will per-
nit of the people giving direct voice
to their views and having their wishes
carried into effect. That is what the
primary for senators means, that is
! what the initiative, referendum and re-
|call mean. and why should it not be
extended a step further and the pres
Iidential nominations brought within
its scope?
Arkansas may do so in the present
campaign There is a division among
Democrats there, just as there is in
Georgia and elsewhere. as to which of
the leading candidates should be nom
mated. Some prefer Wilson. some pre-
fer Harmon. some prefer Clark. some
doubtless prefer some one other than
these three. Why not settle the matter
in primary? That would lead to a
complete and thorough threshing ont
