We regret that the necessity ex •

people must have relief. How
many tax payers in Georgia could
pay their taxes today and meet
their other honest and just obliga¬
tions, f pressed for a settlement?
We believe the number would be
astonishingly small.
The Forum Club, colored, of St.

down to Wilmington, and investi¬

bad negro fired the first shot, in
the streets of Wilmington, and
mortally wounded a white man,
an( j started the riot at that place,
w hich resulted in the killing of
several negroes. The negroes gen

A Valuable Little Book oi Interest
t i all Women Sent I-ree.
Evety oman looks forward with
feelings of indescribable joy to the
.
one momentous event in her me,
compared with which all others
pale into insignificance. How
proud and happy she will be when
her precious babe nestles on her ;
breast—how sweet the name of
“Mother !” And yet her happy an
ticipation of this event is clouded
1 with misgivings of the pain and
danger of the ordeal, so that u is
impossible to avoid the feeling of r
constant dread which creeps over
her. The danger and suffering at
tendant upon being a mother can
be entirely prevented, so that the
coming of the little stranger need
I not be looked forward to with fear
! and trembling, as is so often the
case. Every woman who reads
this paper can obtain absolutely

It is said the state of Georgia
will be doing business, after the
first of next July. on a deficit
i over $400,000.
The people do not want any
useless legislation, this year, and
the legislature might as well un¬
derstand this at the start.
It is stated that Georgia uses
twice as much fertilizers as any
other state in the union. Maybe
that is one reason we are all getting
so poor.
It is time now for the governors
of North Carolina and South Caro¬

The country is now ready for

The General's Feast.
Here is a true enough dog story.
Among Tom Ford’s chums were j
several incorrigible foragers. When I
General Lowell H. Rousseau, the |
gallant Kentuckian, commanded I
the division, he had strict orders 1
against foraging. One day he saw
Ford's chains carrying a dressed
. sheep to camp. An aid was direct
ed to arrest and march them to his
side. . . You have been stealing
sheep,” said the general.
•‘We killed this one in self de¬
fense,” said a young butcher. “He
' about collide with I »
-was to us.
“Nonsense ! Take the mutton
to my headquarters and go to your
camp,” snapped the general.
One of the crowd of foragers
hung about Rousseau’s cooktent
that night long enough to learn
that their mutton w as to go to the
general’s mess. The next day the
j same batch of foragers were again
caught W'ith a large, fat sheep, well
dressed. This time the general
scolded them savagely, and threat¬
ened them with dire trouble if they
killed another sheep. As on the
previous occasion the mutton was
sent to the general’s mess, and eat¬
en by his staff. A few days later,
when Rousseau and some friends
rode through camp, the men in
Ford’s company barked like so
many New Foundland dogs. This
nettled the Kentuckian, and he de¬
manded of the captain to know
what it meant.
* ( I can’t tell you, general. »»
* t Then call out one of your men
and let me question him. t i
One of the foragers was trotted
out.
(< What do you mean by barking
as I came into camp? Tell me the
truth. J >
< < Well, general, you remember
that last sheep you had taken from
us and sent to your mess, and that
you and the staff feasted on, don’t
you V’
i ( Yes, but what has that got to
do with this infernal bow wow
ing? ’ *
<< Everything, general! That was
not a sheep at all ; it was a New
Foundland dog.”—Chicago Times
