Fairer Treatment Iciever Retort
of the Railroads
of
Atlanta, Nov. 5.—The intention
the poatofflee department at Wash
ington is to give the railroads u fair
er payment for carrying the mails,
according to local railroad officials
who have returned from conferences
on the railway mail question. They
say the department has indicated a
willingness to see that no attempt to
obtain service for less than cost, as
in the present, will be made in fu
ture. In this stand the department
hns the indorsement of business men
generally who arc familiar with the
question.
Railroad officials have shown the
government thut for a long time the
contracts have forced the roads to
cairy the mails at a loss, the deficit
amounting to about ten per cent all
over the country. When the new
contracts are mude, according to the
report of the commission which in
vestigated the matter, a more ade
quate system of remuneration will be
adopted.

“If I could take only one paper.
Huid the late Mr. Justice Brewer of
the Supreme Court, "it would he The
Youth's Companion,—a little of every
thing in a nutshell, and unbiased.’
The Companion is a family paper in
the completest sense. It provides
reading that, without failing to in
terest the young, still interests the
mature. It unites young and old
through their common enjoyment of
delightful Action, agreeable miscel
lany, and the clear exposition of
delightful Action, agreeable miscel
lany, and the clear exposition of puli
lie questions.
So carefully is it edited, so varied
are its contents, that it would easily
supply a family with entertaining
Action,-up to-dutc information and
wholesome fun, if no other periodical
entered ttie house.
If you are not familiar with The
Companion as it is today, let us send

A Dog's J,imitations.
Brown was watching the scenery
from the front porch one evening,
when Green rambled along. Among
other things dogs entered into the
conversation.
“By the way, Brown," smilingly
querried Green, “how far can a dog
run into the woodrf?”
“I presume.” coldly remarked
Brown, who was somewhat indiffer
ent to foolish questions, “that he can
run into the wood as far as he wants
to."
"You’re wrong," was the cheerful
rejoinder of Careen. “When a dog
runs half-way into the woods, he is
then running out again.—Onward.
to the Judge
Atlanta, Nov. 5.—Judge W. T.
Ncwmun hns concluded his fall ses
sion of the "Moonshiners’ Court," af
ter trying several hundred Georgians
and North Carolinians accused of
brewing the white lightning which
commands such a good price these
days. One of the court attaches says
the Judge had a queer character be
fore him a day or two ago, Joshua
Woodbum, of Habersham country.
“Are you the Joshua who made the
sun stand mill?” asked the judge.
"No sir, I’m the Joshua who made
the moonshine,” returned the defend
ant, soberly.
G. T. Moon, a white man, was
bound over in the Athens court to
appear before Judge Newman later
on the charge of moonshining. It ap
pears thut Moon the Moonshiner had
a still in Gwinnett county in which
ordinary kitchen boilcrH were the only
machinery used.
Mr. Massengale
to Have Charge
Atlanta, Nov. 6., (Special)—Pre
parations are being made to hold an
unusually interesting observance of
Georgia Products Day. St. Elmo
Massengale, an expert in advertising
and nil other kinds of publicity, and
one of Atlanta’s most active and pub
lic-spirited citizens is chairman of
the committee that has in hand the
arrangements for the Georgia Pro 1
ducts dinner to be given on the night
of November 18th. Mr. Massengale
says that if Atlanta fails to pull
down the prize for the best menu
and the most unique and original
celebration it will not be his fault or
thut of his aides.
The
Horrors
of the War
A soldier of the legion lay dying
at Przemysl, he remarked that Sher
man told the truth when he said that
war was hmysl. “It wus in a glori-
ouh cause," he said, “in which I
fought and fmysl, but what we have
been Aghting for, God knows 1 can
not imysl!"
The Germans and the French have
been uAghting on the Aisne, they
Aght n week without a rest and then
they Aght againso. They stop not for
the thunder or the lightning or the
raisne but what the Aght is all about,
will some one please explainse?—

Luke McLuke
Speaks Thus:
Every time a girl thinks of her
dimples she has to smile.
A whole lot of married men regard
home as a place where you change
your clothoH.
Our idea of a glutton is a grown
man who can eat as much ns a 10-
year-old boy.
The popular idea of economy is to
go without u lot of little things that
we need so wc can get one big thing
that we don’t need.
Most self-made men are satisAed
with the job, but a self-made woman
never gets through putting on the
finishing touches.
A man will stand around and brag
thut no woman can boss him. And
then the fathead will go and get
married.
You may tickle a mute’s heels and
get away with it. But don’t monkey
with a man who grins when he gets
mad.
The trouble with the fellow who
says "Lemme Have a Couple of
Bones Till Tomorrow” is that there
ain’t no such animal as tomorrow.
The Baby’s Gift to
My Baby Sister
Twas only a hunch of dried weeds,
Brown, sere, and bare
Yet the dimpled hand of a baby
Had plucked them with greatest care,
And her face all a’glow and smiling
With a laugh in her brown eyes too,
Brought them, her soft voice saying
“Sweetsie mama, here’s somAn for
loo.”
Now what of our hot house Aowers
And wild ones in all the land,
Tho’ ever so fair couid they ever
compare
With this gift from the baby hand:
Not all the lovely blooms of earth,
Can vie with this faded treasure,
For the budding love of a baby’s
heart
Is beyond all earthy measure.

Raise It All on

Wc have bqen handed the following
dedication to the Georgia farmer by
Mr. Eula B. Smith. It is true and
should cause our farmers to open
their eyes and to show their inde
pendence. The author of this article
is unknown.
The Georgia Farmer.
“He gets up at the«alarm of a Con
necticut clock, buttons his Chicago
suspenders to Detroit overalls, wash
es his face with Cincinnati soap in
a Pennsylvania pan, sits down to a
Grand Rapids table, pats Chicago
meat and Indiana hominy, fried in
Kansas City lard, puts a New York
bridle on u Kentucky mule fed with
Iowa corn, plow's a farm covered by
Ohio mortgages, with a Chattanooga
plow.
When bedtime comes, he reads a
chapter from the Bible, printed in
Boston, says prayers written in
Jerusalem, crawls under a blanket
made in New Jersey, to be kept awake
by a Georgia dog, the only product
raised at home; and then he wonders
why he cannot make money raising
cotton!"
For the Arst time in Chicago’s his
tory a jury of women doctors was
summoned to pass upon the evidence
submitted relative to sixteen women _
committed to various hospitals, as
insane. The placing of woman phy
sicians on such a jury is the Arst
instance of its kind in the world.
