THE GOVERNOR
AND PENSIONS.
A great deal has recently been
said concerning the payment of
pensions to tho Confederate vet
erans. The last legislature pass
ed a law making payments quar
terly instead of annually. This
condition was brought about by
the fact that the state did not
have tho money to make pay
ments in advanco at the begin
ning of each year. The old re-
gimo preceding the Hoke Smith
administration loft the state
funds in' such shape that the
state Ritnply could not meet its
obligations. The present con
dition is tho heritage of former
administrations and the prohibi
tion law. Tho prohibition law
knocked tho stateoutof immense
revenue, and for a while the
school fund was a matter of
soriousconsideration. Tho shame
of the state lias always been its
poor pay to tuacheis. Added to
this 1ms boen tho delay in paying
them tho small stipend.
Tho present administration set
about to correct, if possible, this
slipshod way of transacting the
business of tho state, so as to put
all on a more equal footing. To
make the payment of the teach
ers more in keeping with the
necessities of the occasion, it w»b
neccossary to make, for a while
at least, payment of pensions
quarterly in advance instead of
annually in advance.
The attempt tomakea political
capital out of this condition is
the work of tho pariahs who
were so busily engaged in the
lastcnmpaign. They are enemies
of Governor Smith in and out of
season. They are the “Little
Joe” Browns of the state. To
attempt to make it appear that
Hoke Smith is unfriendly to Con
federate veterans is both silly and
foolish. He, just as much as we,
would like to see the old veterans
paid annually iu advance, and no
doubt when conditions are ripe
for it to be^ done, it will be.
When ho wont into office he found
the affairs of the state in such
s'-ape that it is surprising to see
how well things have been ad
ministered. The governor is
Bimply trying to straighten out a
tangled web, and judging by his
past record, we have no fears as
to results.—Dalton Citizen.
HOME FIRST.
In hia letter of instructions to
county tax leceivers of the state
Comptroller - General Wright
states that all property must be
returned at "its true market
value” and in case of failure to
do this stops will be taken towards
procuring a correct one.
A suit for $1,000 damages has
been brought against tho South
ern Railway by a young lady
who, through an error of the
station matron, was compelled to
spend a night in Rome, Georgia,
We didn’t think Rome was near
ly so bad as that, says the Golden
Age. ,
Spring is with us with u^ again
and the importance of cleaning
up your premises and the town
generally cannot be too seriously
impressed upon every one. A
little prevention now may save
your family or community from
the ravages of the dreaded ty
phoid fever. A little lime or
kerosene thrown in the damp
places or in stagnant water will
do‘the work, and the first signs
of spring when the warm weather
approaches is the time to do the
A propos to the cry of home pro
duction being raised in Atlanta
wo think that it is time for other
cities to sit up and take notice.
Wo commend tins feeling in this
progressive city and the motives
whicli .prompt this crusade, says
a contemporary.
In our own city and county this
same fooling should exist and
every citizen who is not willing to
adhere to this principle should be
branded disloyal. The charm of
the city has been wielding a pow
er over many of us which is well
nigh irresistable; yet this false
glamor is largely a creation of
our own imagination and needs
only some bit of mature thought
to bo dispelled.
Don’t patronize yonr home en
terprises if you are not able to
secure what you must have in
your particular locality, but don’t
run to Atlanta whenever you wish
lo buy a necktie or some fancy
ribbons. The home merchant
perhaps has this very same article
if you only knew it or would keep
such in stock if you gave him to
understand that your patronage
would warrant such.
•When your family gets sick the
city merchant is not interested
nor does he contribute one ceut
toward helping your poor. His
aim is to build up his trade for
the benefit of himself and his city
as is the purpose of every other
business man in every city.
Whether your wife or child is
sick or well is a natter of indif
ference t) them and when you
need help you don’t go to the city
to ask it.
Now, we don’t mean to discour
age anybody from buying articles
in the city which are not for sale
at home, but if we intend to pro
gress we must help those aronnd
us as much as poossible.
Atlanta is a splendid city and
has started in the right direction
but don’t let’s build up these
cities at a loss to our own. Let’s
have home production and con
sumption so nicely balanced that
all concerned will be benefitted.
Here’s Minnie Again/
Mr. Editor: If you’ll permit
me space again in your paper 1
will endeavor to write again in
regard to my last letter, so called,
“advice to church members.”
I see that some are endorsing
it, and furthermore, I see where
one seems kindly inclined to dif
fer with me,
Some may think me too plain
on this subject, but I deem it
right to shun dunces and ull such
night frolics, for it is not the
least emblem of Christianity.
Further yet, it is not very nice
in any young lady to put herself
up as a kissing target, or in other
words to partake of those abom
inable kissing plays. Now, dear
reader, don’t think me a grum
bler or a natural flaw-finder. I’m
only a small school girl and I’ve
belonged to the church for some
time, and 1 have too much love
for the young and rising genera
tion so as to sit speachless and
see them go,astray upon the
wandering road of f wrong. Let
me tell^ou that God’s eye is
ever over us, and we are taught
in the Holy law that Christ is
coming again, and when He
comes the next time He is not
coming to bo mocked, bu(feted
or spit upon, but He is coming to
gather Uts jewels home, and
why not watch and pray lest ye
enter into temptation.
I beg to differ with my oppon
ent correspondent in touch of his
advice to go thy way, eat thy
bread with joy and drink thy
wine with a merry heart, for
God noitf accepteth thy works.
Dear readers I beg to say He
don’t accept these worldly shin
diging frolics. We are taught to
fear the Lord our God. If we
had the foundation of the earth
and the power of the Heavens,
we would still be less than Him,
for each shall obey Hun and
whosoever leads a wicked life
shall slider eternal pfinishment,
for woe unto the wicked, it shall
be ill with Him, for th? reward
of Hi9 hands shall be given Him.
God does not pity the wicked
in calamity, for His written law
says, I the Lord have spoken it,
it shall come to pass, and I will
do it, 1 will not go back, neither
will I spare, neither will I re
pent, according to thy ways and
according to thy doings shall
they judge thee, saith the Lord
God. So I guess that this is
enough for this time.
I ask you readers to not think

Dear Sir:—
When any bank tells you that your deposit is insured,
you owe it to yourself to investigate. That bank owes it to
you to show you the insurance policy. Burglary Insurance,
Fire Insurance and Fidelity Insurance i s what all
banks should carry, but that is not Depositor’s Insurance.
The Board of Directors of the Commercial-Savings Bank by
this card authorize you to demand of the Cashier of this bank
proof that your deposit is insured.
It costs you nothing to know this fact and it costs you
nothing to have your deposits insured.
