DEKALB’S HEROES
TO BE HONORED BY
TALLMARBLESHAFT
Soldiers* and Sailors’ Monu
ment Is Nearing Its
Completion.
DeKalb county's monument to Its
soldiers and sailors of the Confederacy
Is nearing completion. About Novem
ber 1 there will be a great day In De
catur, when the Georgia marble shaft
Is unveiled In the court house yard In
the presence of a throng of people, most
of whom have helped In Its erection.
The monument will be the tribute of
a younger generation to the memory of
the soldiers of the sixties. Almost ihe
whole county, and particularly the
school children, have contributed to the
fund to erect the shaft.
It was the desire of those who had
the fund In charge to make the sub
scription as popular as possible, and
they succeeded. No large sums wtere
accepted, but nearly ever school In the
county sent In Its contribution. The
young men took up the cause enthu
siastically In raising the funds. Under
the direction of the Confederate Memo
rial . Association of DeKalb, of which
Charles D. McKinney Is president, an
active campaign was conducted.

Next Saturday Is "Work Day for the
Orphans," when every man In Georgia
Is asked to contribute his earnings for
that day to some orphans’ home, the
one of his own choice.
Rev. II. L. Crumley, of the Decatur
Orphans' home, speaks of the day and
Its meaning to the orphans of Geor
gia as foUows:
'There ore many boys who are rag
ged and hungry and hungrier still for
a mother's love. We are so busy that
we don’t see them, don’t know they aro
there, don’t take time to help them.
We sometimes 1st little children become
thlevee, stealing flrst (heir bread, then
other things, until they becomo crimi
nals. Ssclety neglects many little wolfs
until we in anger say. They ought to
be In the reformatory.’ We forget that
our neglect of giving them food for
body and heart was more tho cause of
that boy’s or girl’s ruin than anything
else.
"Sometimes our own little ones are
vitiated, poisoned, damned by these
little hungry hearts ws failed to feod In
our busy baste.
"Can not the school boy In this beau,
tlful picture teach Oeorgla a lesson
as Work Day for the orphans draws
near? He has dropped his books (his
business) and with generous heart
opens the lunch box hts sweet mother
has filled for him, and gladly divides
with the poor, hungry, ragged, forlorn,
homeless, motherless boy. He has
learned a larger lesson than those In
his school books.
’Most of the orphans’ homes of
Georgia Join In an earnest appeal to all
the readers of the Georgian, rich and
poor, men and women and children,
that they will work hard at their busi
ness on Work Day for the orphans,
Saturday, September 28, and divide
their lunch, their Income, with the
por child of our dead brothers, the
poor cripple or babies or wolfs. They
ask them to earn liberal wages for
their dolly bread and for buildings.
"The average expense of living In
the United States Increased from
about *72 In 1903 to *102 in 1905, and
has Increased materially since so that
the bread question Is a serious mat
ter with many orphans’ homes.
"Let merchants, clerks, employers
and employeea, men. women and chil
dren stop on Saturday, September 98.
and open their baskets (purses) and
feed the hungry orphans. If you could
see the hunger of many children
brought to these homes your hearts
would nearly be broken to think that
children havo suffered near you.
"Send checks to the home of your
choice for your Work Day earnings.”

MORE TROUBLE ABOUT
THAT BASEBALL PENNANT
After superb playing, Atlanta has
won the right to fly the flag at Pones
DeLeon park until some other team
proves Its superiority over hsr, but
the trouble does not seem to ond with
the winning of the flag. The question
now Is where to put It. Some of the
fane contend that It would be better to
place It high over the grand etand so
the players could constantly see It
while In tho field and this, they think,
would act as an Inspiration for them to
win again. Others think It would be
much better to plant tt In deep center
so every man, woman and child that
enters tho ground can see It and every
Atlanta player would then try to put
the ball over the top of the pole every
time he comes to bat Frankly speak

How does It feel to be “down and out;” to have reached the end of the
long lono with never a turning; to feel that life holds no more worth wait
ing for; that the Great Unknown enn offer nothing worse than that which
has gone before?
Charles Hardy Satford has tried to answer the qnestion which eo
many unfortunates have asked, whloh so many have answered for them-
selves when It was too late to tell the world the result of the discovery be
yond the dark river.
Soflord la a college-bred man. educated, reflned, n man upon whom op
portunity onco smiled. He had ability—a few paintings scattered where his
wanderings led him and a bit of statuary or two from his chisel proving his
talent—but something was missing. SafTord has been a dreamer of dreams,
never a doer of deeds. He had the divine fire, but his dreams never came
truo.
Three times Salford has tried to end his life. Tho second attempt was
made a few weeks ago In a Whitehall street store; the third on Friday, In
his squalid room. In Broad street. But he failed—failed In trying to die
even ae he had failed In tho effort to live.

story of hie bitter life, speaking calmly, with never a trace of bltternese,

Quite an Improvement on Old One.
" ’I have been compelled to stop
drinking It,’ I sold to a friend who ask'
ed mo to strengthen up on a cup of
her good coffee. ’Well,’ she said, ’’that
needn't bother you, for I have Postum
Food Coffee here, which completely
cured a friend of mine of sick head
aches.'
'I tried her coffee and It was very
good, but when I tried to make It at
home, I was disappointed. I soon found
that I was n.ot making It correctly,
but by putting In twp heaping tea
spoonfuls of Postum for each person
and letting It boll twenty minutes, It
was delicious.
I had at that time been an Invalid
for several years, but did not know my
trouble was caused by coffee drinking,
of which I was very fond. 1 Immedi
ately began to feel better after leaving
oft coffee and using Postum, and stuck
to It.
’’On* day I met a lady who was
troubled the same as I was, and whoae
appearance on the atreet really shocked
me, for she was so emaciated. She ex
claimed In surprise at my Improved ap
pearance, and wanted to know what
1 had been doing. 8he asked me It I
had had a healer of any kind. I said.
'Yes, I have allowed Postum Food Cof
fee to work the almost complete mira
cle of curing me.' \
“My husband has been absent from
home for some time, end has been In
wretched health, having been In the
hospital twice for Indigestion. 1 wrote
him to stop using coffee and try Pos
tum—told him also Just how to make
It. Yesterday I received a letter from
him In which he says, ‘I am feeling very
much better, thanks to you and Pos

to-do, happy and useful makes ths do-
sire to end It all the stronger.
Ths world la a good place—ths best
we know—but sometimes It falls to
glvs a man tha hslp hs so greatly
needs. As long as I had relatives I
was In a way strong, but when death
took my father, my brother, my broth
er’s wlfs and my aunt. In rapid suc
cession, I lost Interest and sympathy
and began to go down.
Now I have nothing to live for.
could live anyway were It not for my
suffering. Life Is sweet until suffering
becomes too great for a man's strength,
then ths desire for death predominates.
When I cams from the stockade this
morning I was sick, weak, without food
or money and Buffering from tho pangs
of the morphine habit. I did not be
lieve any one cared at all for me.
The clothes 1 wore were fllthy, my
room was fllthy. everything I touched
seemed covered with filth. 1 could see
no pure thing anywhere. I went out
and got a cup of coffee, but could not
drink It, I hated the world and myself
most of all.
I went back to my room and lay
down on my bed and thought of death.
It seemed the only thing. I took a
small mirror and studied my face for
a long time. It was deathly pale—the
r llor was that of a dead man’s fsce.
got up, but I was so dlxsy that I
sat down again. Then I picked up my
razor. No, I had no desire to tell any
one goodby, there was no feeling of
one leaving the world—I merely want
ed to die.
I felt for my Jugular vein. I thought
It was Just below my ear. I cut on
the right side, and cut again. The
blood began to flow, and I cut on the
other side. The blood flowed freely,
but not os from an artery. I realized
that I couldn’t kilt myself that way,
so I pulled up my sleeve and cut my
right arm. It hurt at first, os the
blade went through the outer flesh. I
could see the white veins. They were
hard like gutta percha, and I could not
cut deeper. The blood continued to
flow for a while and then stopped. It
hod coagulated, and I opened tho
wounds afresh with my fingers.
It had seemed so easy to kill myself,
but when I found It so difficult and
ths pain became great, I crawled Into
the next room. There was a deaf man
there. I had to write on a piece of
japer to make him understand. I sent
i’or Mr. W. W. Reynolds and he came
and called an ambulance and I went to
the hospital. The doctors tortured me
an hour sewing me up and then said:
"Go out In the hall and put on your
clothes and get out. We can’t keep
you.”
I went to Mr. Reynolds’ shop In a
cab and lay on tha floor for four hours
until he persuaded the physicians to
take me back to the hospital. And
here I am. I don’t know whether 1
shall try again. It doesn't matter-
nothing matters any more.
