Hut ter milk-Alcohol Two weeks ago we announced that a chemist-friend has said buttermilk contained two per cent, alcohol. Since that time our supply of butermilk has grown constantly more difficult to maintain. We desire to announce to the public in this neck o’ the woods that our chemist-friend has modified his analysis. If necessary we shall quote him as entirely withdrawing it. Savannah Press The Savannah Press was thirty-four years old last Thursday. It survives with flying colors as one of the most distinguished editorial voices in the Southland, thanks to the genius of the owner, Pleasant A. Stovall, and its managing editor, W. G. Sutlive, with which it has flourished since its infant lips kissed the ocean breeze in the cool of the evening on November | 19, 1891. We regret to learn that the bubbling journalistic spirit, Billy Sutlive, is that old, because we now shall have to call his Mister. Now Up To Peach Thursday' Macon county voted Inst by an overwhelming majority a bond issue p pave the Dixie Highway from the Peach county line to the Sumter county line. Sumter county already has paved a part of this highway with¬ in her bounds and soon will complete her link. It is now up to Peach county to fill the missing link. She will do it like lightning as soon as the bars of legal limitations are let down by the completion of a legal registration list, which will be next Spring.

MacDonald. The thought of being nothing after death is a burden insurpotable to a virtuous man; we naturally aim at happiness, and cannot bear to have it confined to our present being—Day den. When I consider the wonderful , , . ae- „ tivity of , the mind, , so great . a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating ' ' into the future; when , I behold ,. such a number , of . arts and . and . such , multitude . of - dis-. ... sciences, a thence • . . .

The spirit of man, which God in¬ spired, cannot together perish with this corporeal clod.—Milton. All men’s soule are immortal, but! the souls of the righteous are both im- ! mortal and divine—Socrates. Nothing more powerfully argues a ] life beyond this than the failure of our ideas here.—jEach gives us only fragments of humanity; fragments of heat, of mind, of charity, of love, of virtue.—He who inspires such thought and hopes, will surely give a sphere of their relaxation. Whatsoever that be within u,s, that feels thinks, desires, and animates, is The Beautiful Land of Palestine. Mr. Herman Berneteln. edit..*r of The Jewi.h Tribune and a persistent traveler, visited Palestine recently and contribute! to his journal a series of interesting ar¬ ticles. From the first of these we clip the paragraphs below. Hi3 first instalment , was entitled, "The Living Land of Hales tine To-day.”—Editor, Jewish Missionary Magazine. I went to Palestine with a sense of fear in my heart. I was afraid that I might be disillusioned. 1 have seen Jewish sufferings and sorrows and despair in many lands, in various parts of the world, and I have seen Jewish hopes strained to the ^ea^ing point. I have seen the ent huaiasm and the pathos with which Jews everywhere in large centers and jn djstant little settlements have pin ned their last faith to Palestine. And that is why my heart was filled with fear as I approached the land of Israel’s dreams and hopes. Out of tiny Palestine came so much beauty and grandeur, so much moral strength, such lofty ideals and so much bloodshed, so much faith and so much sorrow, prophets of peace and prophets of the sword. What is happening in tiny Pales tine to-day? What work is being done there? What ideals, what aspirations. what hopes, what future is there in this little land with a great past? What form of life is being lived there to-day? Is Palestine destined to have a great tomorrow even as it had a great yesterday? But above all, what of to-day ? Old and New Cities. T traveled through the little land from Hebron up to Kfar Gileadi. 1 VIS ited the old and the new Jewish co'. onies, tlu> old and the new cities, and 1 found may be described as a veritable miracle of to-day. The Jews, in loss than .five , years, have trans formed Palestine into a living, throb lung, beautiful little land—into the living land of Israel. The Holy Land is becoming a l' v * ing land again, the Holly Language that have come to Fort Valley and Peach County since the latter’s crea ion a year ago. Many things that we have desired are yet lacking in the community structure. With tier most glorious achievements, any community worth while will feel the inadequacy of hei accom plishments, because with each stop upward her vision will he en larged, just as a man who climbs a mountain beholds a larger and more wonderful world in which to labor and to love. EVOLUTION Chief Eagle of the Otee tribe of Indians 'has thrown some light on the question of evolution by stating that when anything is placed before Indians ail Indians come to divide; therefore the Indian comes from spirit, God. But he claims that when anything is placed before a monkey he grabs all of it and as the white man does the same way he must come from the monkey. That ought to be sufficient logic to settle the question. —Sandersville Progress.

Our dissatisfaction with any other solution i^ the blazing evidence of im¬ mortality.—Emerson. How gloomy would be the mansion of the dead to him who d j d not i( now that he should never die; that what no w acts, shall continue its agency, and what now thinks, shall think on forever.—Johnson. The date of human life is too short to recompense the care which attend the most private conditions; therefore it is that our souls are made as it were, too big for it, and extend them¬ selves in the prospect of longer ex _ <stencc—Steele. is becoming an everyday, living lan¬ guage. The exiled people are repatriat¬ ed. The oppressed children of Israel, scattered throughout the world, are returning to the land of their fathers, to their old homestead, to escape per¬ secution, to be sure, but chiefly to work, to build anew, to live in peace, to know liberty, in the smiling and j enchanting dazzling sunshine, skies, amidst under the the blue stern, and rugged and majestic mountains and hills, in the valleys, deserted and neg lected for many centuries, now trans- 1 formed’anew into flowering fields j and gardens, by the greatest and of will all magics, the magic of work of power, The Jews came, as yet in small num bers, they saw the land once more and they are taking possession of it peacefully, slowly, without forcing out the other inhabitants, without inten tions of forcing them out. The Jews are coming to Palestine not for war but for peace, not to start new con Diets but to build their_ longed-for their prayed-for ancestral hen tagt, the old homestead of Israel, Status of Holy Places. | It is small, it is still barren in places, it is rich in stones. It bears the imprint of the neglect of cen turies. It is not exactly a land flowing with milk and honey. It must have seem ed so to the Jews only after their wandering in the desert. People earn their bread there in the sweat of their brows. Palestine is, perhaps, not so beautiful ns Switzerland is, or Italy or some of the picturesque places in the United States. The Alps are taller t |ian the hills of Judea, and California j s r j c her and more fertile. But Pales-' ( ;„ 0 is Eretz Isroel, (The Land of Is ra el). It is an eternal inspiration to the Jewish people. The beauty and grandeur of the little country, the majestic hills of Judea, the rocky mountains that inspired the Prophets 0 f lddi the weird caves and the beau¬ tiful valleys, the most brilliant colors and shades of the sky and the moun¬ tain tops, the Jordan, and the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, and the Medi¬ terranean, the snow-peaked Mt.

Fear has often been expressed about the protection of the Holy Places in Palestine. I have found that the Jews in Palestine are most eager that the Holy Places be properly protected, to | the fullest satisfaction of the religious j elements among the Christians and the Mohammedans, that the exact status and scope of such Holy Places be clearly defined and fixed in order that any misunderstandings leading to strife and calamities may be averted. The Jews are above all concerned in securing absolute peace and harmo- I Friendly Hotel Invites you to o4tlanta RATES: / Circulating i c e One Person water and ceil¬ ing fans in every $2.50, $3.00 af I room. $3.50, $4.00 $5.00 fit- « ■ f Atlanta’s newest F 1 E and finest hotel.

The Jews do not aspire to make Palestine their museum, how ever sacred its historic traditions are fo the Jews. They are striving to make it their national home, not their national museum. There are students among these builders, philosophers, physicians, en¬ gineers, lawyers, architects. There are Luftmenschen among them, people who lived on air in other lands, who were misfits everywhere, because of discriminatory laws and restrictions. There are merchants among them and Talmudic scholars. There are prod¬ ucts of Western civilization and prod¬ ucts of Eastern civilization, some who have gone in advance of the ideas of the West and others who remained changed as though they still lived in the fifteenth century. Palestine Needs , ,, \\ orkers. , In Palestine the most , interesting ,. experiment in modern times is taking place. From all corners of the earth the dry bones of Israel are gathered. There they come to life, and there they give new life to the neglected lit- lte country, the cradle of the three £ reat faiths, the scene of so many bloody battles, the spring of the ^ world’s loftiest moral codes of law and justice, the source of the greatest strifes and sorrow's. They come there as builders, not as destroyers, as mes sengers of peace, not of war. They are taking their place in the sun. They come from various lands and they bring with them the best experiences from all lands, and they are forging the future of the living land. Palestine needs more workers there, more farmers, more commerce and in dustry, without profiteers and with¬ out speculators. Palestine is receiving * ier children, all classes, all kinds, all 8 * Chassidim and radicals, mer chants and scholars, the industrialists of Lodz ’ pu P ils of the Slobokda Yeshi rah, students of European ' universities —all . working for Palestine.

S J Theodore “This may Herzl seem said: as a fairy tale. , .1 But^ ;f you have the will, it will cease to be a fairy tale.” The fairy tale has now turned into reality in Eretz Isroel,(The Land of Israel). There are a lot of useless women in the world. Sometimes we think there almost as many useless women as useless men.
