Butler, Ga., Tuesday Jan. 31,1911. Today is the latt day of the first month of the New Year, and how many resolutions have you broken? ’Fees up. So many senators having died lately we have decided not to be come a. candidate for that office. This decision is final. The Fort Valley;Leader says it has absolutely no encouragement to publish a good paper.. Support, eh, Bro Branham? That shouldn’t be the case. Merchants of Fort Valley should stick to the Leader as never before, for^the local pa per is any man’s town best friend. Lame back comes on suddenly and is extremely painfnl.

The Augusta Chronicle thinks that the Lyens verdict indicates that there is something radically wrong with our jury system. It is our judgement that every man on that jury should be barred from further jury service. The verdict was an outrage upon justice.— Dublin Courier-Dispatch. SICK HEADACHE.

The woman usually hits herself on the foot and gets so mad she can hard ly talk straight, while the chicken holds its head to one side, softly clucks and looks as though it won dered what uuder the sun the fuss all meant anyhow.—Ex. Nobody has any plausible reason to expect something for nothing. This being true it is impossible for Butler me.chants to enlarge their trade territory without the expen diture of a little money in improv lag some of the roads leading into our town. Let’s get together on this road improvement, it’s the most important factor in the up building of our town and county. Mr C A Herrin so far enjoys the distinction of having in his posses sion the oldest coin in Millwood and Ware county. It is a 50c piece and bears the date “1827.” If there is any one who knows whether or not there is a premium on coins of this date, they will confer a favor by advising him, as he desires to know.—Millwood Advance. The editor of the Mound City Jeffersonian prints the following letter from a subscriber to w'hom he had sent an expired subscrip tion notice: “dear Sir i thought i would drope you a few lines well i am no rassell and ame to pay my onest dets but i under stand that you cant send papers when i never send for it 1 understand that there is a law pasted there can not be no papers sent and charge for it so i understand if you dout know the law you had better look it up.” It is understood that Felton Knight, of Cedartown, who ha9 been a messenger to the minority in Congress for many years, will be assistant sergeant-at-arms of the next Congress. He is very pop- u'ar in Washington and has many friends over the country who will be pleased to hear of his probable promotion. We make note of this bit of news because of the editor’s loug acquaintance aud high es teem of Mr Knight whom we know to be more than worth of the pro motion. What’s the Use? We are all chasing after that vain desire called “happiness.” Happiness is like unto a fleeting shadow across the pathway of humanity aud we all are trying to clasp her to our bosom, but it is only for a moment and we find that it is a vain delusion. Hnppi- uess, if you please, is like unto a rainbow, it seems so near and yet so far, we seem almost in easy reach of it and when there we find that we are as far away as we were when we starte, it is like unto the marriage of the desert, and we are all rusbiDg across the scorching sands of time after a delusion that is only a green speck on the fev ered minds of time. Happiness is a momentary state of human mind, when it is at peace with all, when it has'just conquer ed, wheu it is at rest and we are always trying to get it in that state. The congressman, wheu a bare footed boy, strolls beneath the spreading trees in springtime, when the scent of ten thousand springtime blossoms are in the air, and his young mind runs loose and free Imagination takes him luto flight, he imagines that if he could be on ten thousand. tongues, that ht would be happy, that if he could marry some goddess of beauty and could hear the ru9 f le of silks and satins on the approach of life part ner he would be happy, and thus he chases this vain delusion to the end and as be clasps it to his bosom he finds alas that it vanishes into nothing. We see him as he re clines upon the divan, the smoke curls up to the ceiling from his cigar, he is meditating, these thoughts wing him backto the past aud he wishes he were a hoy again, or that wheu he was but a country youth “Who paid his debts and told the truth,” he had married the freckle face maid whose hair was tinged with the sunset’s gold, who knew how to milch the cows, who cbewed’the e"d n f h n r apron when he talked litr,and answer ed with a shake of her head. “And she answered no I thank you. From the corner of her eye.,’ Happiness, ah! happiness, gen eration after generation has chased thee aud then hast eluded their grasp, how loug will mortal man desire to be thv pursuer? The answer comes back from every hill, from every mountain and is echoed through the valiey of time forever aud forever. If it were not for the ever becon ing Auger of hope, who stands just ahead of humanity in the pathway of life and with ever vigilant watch over us even bids us come just a little further, and ever dancing merrily onward in our pathway, beaconing, bea- coning, this life would soon be come chaos and darkness, we would sit down by the wayside, before we had passed the first milestone in life. Hope, where out tby going, where art thy carrying me, leading me onward and onward year after year? We do>ot hear the deris ive answer of this little imp, on ward to the grave. Grave why dost thy bosom yearn to clasp me in thy imbrace? We hear the answer. None know but those whom I have clasped in my etn brace. Ask no questions of me, but come hither and ye shall know. Happiness, Hope and Grave yon have deluded me long enough I follow you no more. Good results always follow the use of Foley Kidney Pills.

By John Corrigan, Washington Correspondent to Atlanta Consti tution. Washington, D C—With united front and closed ranks, a hopeful spirit and militant zeal the demo cratic house majority has oiganized for effective work in revising the tariff, lowering the cost of living, and marching onward to gain com plete control of the national gov eminent. The harmony which charterized the caucus of the democrats elect ed to the next house, displayed that get-together spirit for which the republicans have been noted, and showed that in the face of victory and the responsibilities it entails, the democrats have not lost their heads. The narrowness and arrogrance which characterized a certain coe- terie of leaders in the beginning was put aside before the caucus of the nineteenth, and no wrangles, dissensions or bickerings marred the sernity of the evening. Champ Clark will be the speaker of the next house, but has been stripped of all authority aud made a mere parlimenfary prreiding officer. The fourteen democratic members of lbe ways and means committee will not only framejthe most important piece of legislation to be passed during the next two years—the new Underwood tariff bill—but will select all the other committees of the house. In this power of appointing committees, they shoulder the responsibility and assume the authority that has n times past made the speaker- ship of the house the second office in the government. Georgia will have a spokesman on the ways and means committee in the person of Representative Brantley. In addition to the committee places now held by Georgians, the following netv oues will be sought; Representative Bartlett^placed oil-appropriations; Representative Adamson, Chair man Committee on Interstate Com merce; Representative-elect Wm Schley Howard, Labor aud Mili tary Affairs; Representative-elect S J Tribble, Foreign Relations.

There is a world of romance, a library of dream-stories connected with the old copper toes. Senator Bacon, and Champ Clark, and Col “Charlie” Pendleton, and Deacon Hemphill, and Hoke Smith, and Tom Watson," and thousands of the others of us who have be come famous, retain loving recol lections of the copper-toed shoes and the red-top boots that used to thrill our souls with utmost de light. There were never more am bitious mind pictures than those coojured up by the boys in cop per toes- If the plain truth were told, it could possibly be shown that both Andrew Carnegie and Pierpont Morgan were warriors in copper toes, before they became captains of industry. It is a cinch that “Little Joe” Brown, of Geor gia, and Duncan Hayward, of South Carolina, wore copper toes; and we wouldn’t mind chancing the guess that Speaker Cannon knows about the coppor-toe and the red-top boot with the gold eagle stamped on it. Among the hundred thousand stories told of Mr Lincoln—most of them of doubtful authenticity—is one con cerning bis first pair of red-topped boots. The point of the story doesn’t make the slightest - differ ence. Tne kernel of it was the boots. KILLS A MURDERER A merciless murderer is Appendi citis with many victims.

A Sumter county farmer produc ed 435 bushels of sweet potatoes on one and a sixteenth acre of land and received $1 a bushel for the crop The Cornelia Progress, a weekly publication, has suspended. Editor Coleman lacked patronage. This leaves the field to Editor Alexander, of The Enterprise. The grand jury of the Richmond conuty superior court iu its present ments laid special stress upon the enforcement of the laws against vagrancy and the prohibition law. All the farmers of Houston coun ty, so far heard from by the Home Journal, will endeavor to increase their production per acre this year if thorough cultivation will do it. A bill hasibyen introduced iu con gress to prey^nt the shipping of in toxicating liquors from other states into a state or county in which the sale of such liquors is prohibited by law.

Will Brown, a negro niau was in stantly killed at Columbus wheu he attempted to jump upon a moving switch engine of the Central of Geor gia near the Union station in that city, he having slipped and was run over by the engine, his body beiDg badly mangled. With a short political crop in 1911, there should be good business all along the line. Our country was never as prosperous as now. The chances for high prices were never better. With a good corn crop and pretty good meat crop already har vested there is every indication of plenty of hog and hominy for at least twelve months.—Lavonia Times. Montezuma contemplates a 5 or 6-story skyscraper. The first story is to be the postoffice and the bal ance for offices, lodge rooms for the Knights ofJPythias and other secret orders. The Knights of Pythias are taking the lead in the move and the prospects are good, as some of the members are men of money. It is proposed to make a stock company and as there is plenty of money for investment the prospects of this big building are very bright. Hon, J. A. Darsev, representative- elect from Spalding county, is con sidering the introduction of a more drastic game aud fish law in the next General Assembly of Georgia. Game of all kinds is fast disappear ing iu Middle Georgia, and the streams are said to be almost fishless. Mr. Darsey favors a bill to prohibit hunting and' fishing in the state for one year and other restrictions for a term of years, and believes in this manner that game aud fish would become more plentiful. Mr. Darsey’s efforts should be commend ed, but he would accomplish more if he secured the passage of a law that would bring about the enforce ment of the present law, rather than putting another statute upon the books. Wiley Williams was not hung at Perry last Friday, as had been an nounced. Thru the efforts of his attorney, Hon. R. N. Hoitzc'aw, a respite to February 20th was grant ed by Governor Brown. Williams is an aged negro man, and was con victed of killing Mr. D. C. C emeuts a white farmer about 70 years of age at his home in the .ower part of this county several years ago.

After conviction the case was carried to the Supreme Court, and that court coufirmed the sen teuce of the Superior Court, the re sentence to be hung January 20th following. Before the conclusion of the respite, the prison board will be petitioned to commute the sen tence to life imprisonment. Wil liams is said to be now pretending to be insane.—Perry Journal.
