Wk are in receipt of bound copies of tliu renort of the State Board of . Health, for which the secretary has our tltiuiktt. So.MK of the friends of Congress man Dalzell are booming liiin for the United States Senatorship. We can Imagine the feelings of Chris. Magee. The Southern States. President McKinley's trip through the South has been productive of several results, lmtuble -tiiioiij them Is that the people of all tho states are drawing closer to each other in the tense of nationalitv. The President has shown a desire to deid with Southern sentiment in a considerate spirit and to ell'aco as far as possible the old feelingof sectional bitterness. This is a task in which temperament and natural disposition count for much, and JleKinley lias shown that he is the man for the work. The reception accorded the Presi dent on liis recent visit to Atlanta is an evidence that he stands well with Southerns. They do not agree witli him politically, but appreciate his fairness, courtesy, innate kindness and unbounded patience in contact with measures and men. While llrm and uullinchiug in support of the policies witli which he is identified, he still meets their opponents on friendly terms and weighs their side of the case dispassionately. MoKinley's mind has been calmly trained in the practical atTivirs of the nation. He has been ulways a close student and builder. None of the elements of the destructive are found "fiiim. Invective and personal ag gresslon lire not in ins line. There is no record of his utterance of a harsh or unpleasant word. It is easy to like such a President, even if his political views are not ac cepted. AVhat President McKinley evidently sees in the South is a great region which, through force of past circumstances, is not in full accord with the keynotes of national prog ress, nor developing its resources as rapidly as might be, nor taking as broad a share in public aUuirs as it would be able to sustain by virtue of its intelligence and character. That the President earnestly de sires the South to move forward to a realization ot nil just advantages can not be doubted. He respects its people and their intellectual gifts, cherishes the hope that tho old sec tionalism will vanish, uud labors to unite the people of all the states In a common pat riotism. There is no con dition that tho South shall be Repub lican. It might well bo for good reasons that could be urged, but the President presents simply the Idea of national fellowship and a new era freed from the reserve engendered by the war. His elforts In the South are for country, not jiarty. In choosing leaders for the volnn teers the President displayed his up prestation of Southern ability and his own impartial methods. Tho making up of the peace commission was another Instance of his desire to give due recognition to the South This wish, in fact, has marked his uctlon since he was Inaugurated. Ho hag made tho overtures that the South take a deeper and more acttvo interest in the current affairs of the country. Nor has he been misunder stood. Tho warmth of his greeting hi Georgia la due to tho Intuitive knowledge that his friendship for the South is the expression ot the man - and not ot a partisan. Illusions and misconceptions re main in the South that have retarded its growth and prosperity. There can be no better step toward getting rid of them than to get out into tho sunshine of patriotism and of nation ality as broad as America. Dyspepsia Is weakness ot tho stomach.
