PRESIDENT IN BAD HEALTH.
For this ?ieason Vice Presidency is
Source of Worry.
NEW YORK, May 22.-Republican
members of congress who were in the
city last Sunday night said the selection
of a candidate for vico president to run
with President McKinley was as per?
plexing as ever, and that tho matter had
taken a new phase.
This is caused by the state of the
president's health. The information
that comes from Washington is that
while the president's health is not alarm?
ing, it is of a character to cause uneasi?
ness among his intimate friends, to
whom the iacts are kgown. They will
not even breathe a doubt that the presi?
dent is likely to serve four years more,
yet they are satisfied that more than
usual care must be taken in providing j
for the presidential succession.
Usually the vice presidency ha? been
thrown as a sop to the defeated faction.
This will not be the case this year.
At a receut conference in Washington
Lt was assumed that Governor Roose?
velt was entirely out of consideration
and his name was not presented. In
explaining this it may be said that there
are very large numbers of Republicans
m and out of the state who still believe
that the governor will "be drafted" at
Philadelphia. Still at the meeting in
Washington other names were consid?
ered, among them being those of C. N.
Bliss, Secretary of the Navy Long, Sen?
ator Lodge, Senator Collum of Illinois,
Senator Wolcott of Colorado and Gen?
eral E. S. Otis.
When all was said and done it was
agreed that the candidate for vice presi?
dent who met all political and other ex
egencies had not been discovered.
Murderer Electrocuted.
SING SING, May 22.-Fritz Meyer waa

New Compress and Cotton Mill.
THOMASVILLE, Ga., May 22.-Applica?
tion has been made to the superior court
of Thomas county to incorporate the
Georgia-Alabama Compress company.
The capital stock, ?80,000, has already
been paid in. It is understood that it;
will absorb both the Thomasville Invest?
ment company and tho Dothan Com?
press company. The company proposes
to erect a cotton mill and cottonseed oil
mill in connection with the compress.

The Styles and Prices are Right.
Already our stock is badly broken in some lines which we
hope soon to replenish. There has been a great deal said
about the advance in prices of Dry Goods, but we see no
justification for this, except in domestic goods, such as
bleached, brown and plaid homespuns, that are directly
affected by the price of cotton, the advance is not appa?
rent. We are still selling

These are in very desirable patterns plaids and stripes,
suitable for Shirt Waists or Children's suits.
