Fred Williams, the “Man About Town” of the LaFayette Sunday Times, is not very enthusiastic over the prospects of Democratic success in the campaign of 1900, and isn’t waiting for wisdom on the declaration of principles to be enunciated in the next Democratic national convention. Fred is a Democrat, but the creeds of his party are not always sacred to him. In a brief paragraph in last Sunday’s Times is found the following: When I knew more about politics than I do today, it used to be : said: “Find out what your adversary wants you to do, and then be sure —not to do it.” That was regarded good politics, and the Democratic leaders today would do well to make a note of it. The Republican politicians are only too anxious to have the Democratic party again endorse the 16-to-1 plank in the Chicago platform of 1896, so as to insure .them an easy victory for 1900. And it looks as if the Democracy were suckers enough to do it. And concerning the prospects of a successful campaign on an “anti-trust” issue, he continues: Republicans and Democrats may as well understand now, as well as later on, that “anti-trust” cannot be made an issue in the next political campaign. Both the old parties will declare against trusts, and the English language will be exhausted in declaring against them. If both parties agree to the same thing, then you cannot make an issue. And there you are. How is it with territorial exKnsion? It is possible that the jmocratic party may go back on its old record as the party of territorial acquisition, but I shall not believe it until I see it. Democrats are not all fools.

ft Word to Doctors We have the highest regard for the medical profession. Our preparations are not sold for the purpose of antagonizing them, but rather as an aid. We lay it down as an established truth that internal remedies are positively injurious to expectant mothers. The distress and discomforts experienced during the months preceding childbirth can be alleviated only by external treatment—by applying a liniment that softens and relaxes the over-strained muscles. We make and sell such a liniment, combining the ingredients in a manner hitherto unknown, and call it Mothers Friend We know that in thousands of cases it proved more than a blessing to expectant mothers. It overcomes morning sickness. It relieves the sense of tightness. Headaches cease, and danger from Swollen, Hard and Rising Breasts is avoided. Labor itself. is shortened and shorn of most of the pain. We know that many doctors recommend it, and we know that multitudes of women go to the drug stores and buy it because they are sure their physicians have no objections. We ask a trial — just a fair test There is no possible chance of injury being the result, because Mother** Friend is scientifically compounded. It is sold atsi a bottle, and should be used during most of the period of gestation, although great relies is experienced if used only s short time before childbirth. Send for our illustrated book about Mother’s Friend. THE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO. ATLANTA, OA. '

Must Publish Their Reports.

In response to many inquiries Attorney General Taylor has given an opinion on the township reform law. It has been noticed that the new'law is silent on the provision of the old law that township trustees shall publish their reports after rendering them to the county commissioners. In his opinion the attorney general advises the trustees to continue publishing their reports, as the township law of 1895 provides.

AS PLEASANT AS MAPLE SYRUP.

Most remedies have something unpleasant to the taste and in consequence many people, especially children dread the dose and put off entirely or delay the taking of the medicine that can do them good. Not so with Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin—everybody likes its taste and when taken it will cure constipation and all kinds “of stomach troubles.” In 10c, 50, and sl. sizes of A. F. Long.

Hearn in a Brazilian Balm circular. Hearn was the engineer on my train and I knew his case was desperate. I talked with Hearn and his cure gave me hope. I began the use of the Balm at once. There was not much change for the first two months but then I began to improve and in six months, to my inexpressible satisfaction, T was entirely cured.’* During the winter of 1893, F. M.
