could not sleep at night. .4~szzs
The doctor could not help me. He
said would have to be operated on be-
fore I could get better. I thought I
would try using Cardui.
Now, am entirely well.

Baltimore, Md. MY troubles began

Since we guarantee that all testimo-

notfair to suppose that if Lydia E. Pink

tue to help these women it will help any
other woman who is suffering in like
manner?

easy, and capable of being used when
ever amendment is absolutely neces-
sary, the calling of convention TO
overhaul the entire instrument should
be timed so as to find the people who
will select the representatives to form
the convention in a sober, reverent
and relevant state of mind.
Present Not Proper Time.
1--WE may in some circumstances
give out consent to have experiments
performed upon one of the members
of our body, but it is only in the case
of dire extremity that we would sub
nit our whole body to the hand of the
experimentalist. There is too much
experiment in the political thought Of
the present to submit the whole body
of the fundamental law to the knife,
especially when the probabilities are
that the knife would be placed in the
hands of the inexperienced or the reck-
less.

BUSY CROWDS WERE
At COURT YESTERDAY
Fields Deserted and Farmers
Came TO Town

In contrast to the fields and farms,
the courthouse yesterday was well
filled with people all day, especially in
the afternoon. A large number of
farmers were in attendance upon the
session anyway, while the number was
increased in the afternoon on accoun,
of the rains which kept many others
from their work in the fields.
All the members of the grand jury
were here, and that body had a busy
day. A number of minor indictment IS
were returned, several for violations
of the prohibition law. These were
against negroes, however. In the
criminal session of the court which oc-
cupied all of last week and will occu-
py a part of this week, also, pract!-
cally all the cases are against ne
groes.
The criminal session of the court
will probably occupy the greater part
of this week, but it is not thought that
it will take up the entire week The

fair to be more interesting than ordi-
narily.

COLORED MASONS TO
MEET HERE TODAY
Grand Lodge Of Georgia viii
Hold Session

Pursuant to its custom for many
years of meeting in Americas the
Grand Lodge of Masons of Georgia,
colored, will convene in Americas to-
day at the Orphan Home building out
North Lee street, at 10 o'clock. The
session of the grand lodge will last
several days, probably through Thurs
day, and two sessions will be held
daily, one in the morning and one n
the afternoon.
This meeting usually brings large
number of Georgias negro citizens to
Americas, and the department of those
who come is in every way commend
able. The grand lodge is presided ov-
err by DR.. H. R. Butler, Of Atlanta. 1t
is said that this closes one of the
most successful years in the history
of the grand lodge. W. C. Thomas, of
Atlanta, and w. H. Spencer, of Colum-
bus, will report the grand lodge IN
good financial shape. Because of the
hospitality of the negro citizens of
Americus, this city has been made the
Mecca of the negro Masons for years.

Athens, Ga, June 9.-As voicing the
sentiments of probably the larger part
of the leading legal minds in the state
the report to the Georgia Bar associa-
ton of the permanent commission on
the revision of judicial system and
procedure is more than interesting.
AS that report concerns the much-talk-
ed of constitutional convention for
Georgia, the consensus of opinion of
the legal mind of the state is interest
ing to discover.
The report was made at the meetins
last week of the Georgia Bar associa-
ton by Judge Andrew J. Cobb, OF
Athens. former supreme court justice
o. the state, who is chairman of the
commission.
Judge Cobb does not believe that the
time is ripe to make changes in the
constitutional government of the state.
His report in part is as follows:
"The constitution of 1877; the first
constitution since the constitution OF
1861 that was really adopted in &C
'cordance with established principles,
was ratified by the people on the first
Wednesday in December, 1877, the first

USUALLY such a man believes
~ in being his own janitor, er-
rand boy, clerk and general man
ager. He lives in terror OF a pay
roll. and the expense ofeXpansion
improvements fairly pals him.
A man of this type is just as big
today as he will be 20 years from
now, if providence grants him life
and unlimited prosperity. He is
carrying a portion of the same
stock that he had five years ago,
and unless he happens to have a
call for these articles, he will hold
them on his shelves indefinitely.
He will tell you in a confidential
way, that it might be alright for
merchants in other lines TO adver-
tise and make special offers, but
his lines is different you know"

Adopted During Sane Period.
'Mr. McElreath, in his recent adj
mirable work on the constitution o.
Georgia, says: 1T is an interesting
fact that the constitution of 1898 is the
only constitution ever adopted by the
people of Georgia at time when there
was not a virtual revolution of the
government itself. The constitution
of 1777 was adopted in consequence Of
the casting off of the states allegiance
to Great Britain and of the necessity

Fig CROP IS ABUNDANT
here IN AMERICUS
Luscious Fruit is Plentiful
This Year

Amerious gardens will yield an IN
usually fine fig crop this year, the
first varieties now being almost ready
for market, while the later varieties
will continue to ripen throughout the
summer and until killing frost brings
the fig season to an end. Nearly every
garden in Americas has its wealth o:
selected fig trees.
South Georgia is peculiarly adapt ID
to the growth of figs, and so abundant
is the fruit here that hundreds OF
bushels decay upon the trees, as there
is little market for the fruit, except
the limited quantity sold for preser Z
ing.
The finest varieties, from the early
sugar fig to the big Turkish purple and
brown, are grown here. Little care OF
the trees is required, and there is sci,
dom if ever a crop failure" A twie
stuck in the ground takes root and in
two to three years becomes a BEARING
tree, so rapid is the growth. A fac
tory for preserving the fruit should
prove profitable.

cream cannot be surpassed by any
other variety OF fruit.

account of the secession of the state
from the federal union; that Of 1865
on account of the fall of the Confed-
eracy, and the necessity of obtaining
re-admission into the union; that of
1868 on account of the refusal of the
federal government to re-admit The

Method is Simple.

IF any criticism is to be made upon
this method it is that the method ls
too simple. The power to amend
practically resides in the general as
sembly. The reference to the people
amounts to nothing, either as safe

judgment in favor of a change Only
two proposed amendments have eve"

jections were the result of popular
prejudice, rather than popular judg-
ment. The more difficult method IF
amendment, provided in the constitu-
ton of 1898; two-thirds vote of each
house by two successive general as
semblies, brought about wiser changes
than the present method.
