WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
Too Much of It Thrown Away on
Humbugs.
Here is Rome sensible talk from the
Quitman Free Press. All the Free
Press says is too true:
An old citizen was ruminating the
other day about things in general and
hard times in particular, and made the
remark that the people throw away loo
much money earthly on humbugs, things they
have no use fur, and added
that if the people fooled had the money that
they had been out of by ageuts
for all matter of things they wouldn’t
know anything this about reflection: hard times.
llow true is
The man who hasn’t been in the
clutches of the smooth-tongued agent
and been talked into investing from
§10.00 to §100.00 in some humbug or
other is few and far between. The
fellow with the §05 patent, double
hack-action stove came aleng and sold
listening them by the score. Ilis victim, while
to the word painting of the
oily-tougued agent, would wonder how
he had lived heretofore without such a
necessary article.
Then the §40 00 clock man came
along and ceuviuced hundreds that the
one thing lacking was a clock that
would not only tell the time of (lav, but
also record the phases of the moon and
not. let him forget the day of the
month. And he didn’t forget—especi¬
ally the day when that §40.00 fell due.
Then came the hedge fence man,
and many a farmer was bamboozled in¬
to woudering how he had ever manag¬
ed to raise corn and cotton without the
aid of a hedge fence. And he never
came back, that hedge fence man. He
planted out Ins switches, was to be
back the second and third years and
make the hedge neither a beauty—aud did he uev
er came back, the thou¬
sands of dollars he carried off with
him.
Next was the Hot Rich Quick
Oh, but they had a harvest. Pay us
§.’!0 00, they said, and in a year we will
give you §100.00. Town folks, if any¬
thing, are bigger fools that their coun¬
try friends on this line. We all hit at
this alluring bait, bit like the perch do
when the ’Pilco is low ami green oak
worms are ripe. That §00 00 grew
into §70.00, sometimes §100.00 and
more, and —but. the rest we all know.
Last on the list was the fruit tree
man. lie was here in the parly sum¬
mer when a note payable off—and in December (hose
seemed a long ways
pictures of luscious looking fruits and
strawberries in a bottle, as big as your
list, looked so talker. tempting December and the agent
was such a came,
likewise the fruit tree man and his
switches. Too late to kick then; he
had us signed up and when he lett
there was §2,000 or §.'1,000 less in the
county.
Ami the plow man—we came near
forgetting him—but his memory is
DEAK to many, and they haven’t for¬
gotten him—and won’t for some time.
Then there’s the sewing machine
agent, the lightning rod agent, the
book agent, life insurance agent, the
patent smoothing iron agent, the agent
for this, that anil the other, for every¬
thing under the suu we either don’t
need, or, if we do need, one-third can buy the at
home for one-half or
money. paid for when
We have §(>5 a stove,
we could have bought a better one at
home for $20; §40 for a clock, when
wc ought to have told the time of day
by the sun; §30 for a lightning rod,
when the Lord bad no idea of hitting
us with lightning; §50 or a §100 oil a
hedge fence, when we ought to have
been splitting rails—uud so it has gone.
Thousands and thousands, yes, tens of
thousands, of dollars have been thrown
away by people who loved to be hum¬
bugged'. till the
“We neyer miss the music
sweet-voiced bird has flown.” 'Phis
isn’t true of the dollars; we miss them
all the time, especially at this time,
when they are so had scarce. those
If we only now many
thousands the alluring agent has talked
us out of, how different times would
be. Hut alas, all they are worth to us
now tbe sober is this thought reflection, of unless hard times perchance will
make us wiser in the future.
J t is to be hoped that it will.

Said in a Recent Lecture on Chronic
Catarrh and Consumption.
Catarrh of the lungs is, ordinarily,
known as consumption; also called tu
herclosis. In these cases the catarrh
has usually found its way into the lungs
by the gradual extension of the disease
from the threat through the bronchial
tubes, consumption is the natuiul ter¬
mination of all cases of neglected ca¬
tarrh. livery one liable who is afflicted attacked with
chronic catarrh is to be
with consumption at any time. In the
first stages of tbe disease Pe-ru-na is a
sure cure; in the later stages of the dit¬
ease Pe-ru-na can be relied upon to
produce great of benefit, produce and in a large
per cent, cases afflicted a permanent with
cure. All those this
dread disease should begin at once the
following treatment:
After all other means have been
tried in vain; after doctors have pro¬
nounced the case hopeless and friends
have given up in despair; after the pa¬
tient has lost all faith and the incessant
care of attendants seems futile, still
there is hope in l'e-ru-na. Send for

WHAT FREE SPEECH IS.
How Far a Man May Legally Go in His
Utterances.
The law of Georgia forbids any man
to publicly wound aud trample on the
feelings, and particularly on the relig¬
ious feelings, of other men. The State
constitution says that “liberty of con¬
science shall not be construed as to ex¬
cuse nets of licentiousness, or justify
and practices safety inconsistent of the State.”—Code, with the peace
Sec.
(5005.
Again, while speech, the constitution does guar¬
antees free it not tolerate
any abuse of this right. U says;
“Any person may speak, write and
publish his sentiments on all subjects,
liberty”—Code, being responsible for the abuse of that
Sec. .5007—and it. indi¬
cates in a number of ways, what it
means It by abuse.
is crime for one man to heap op
probious epithets on another.—Code,
It, is a crimo for any man to put
forth any writing which blackens the
memory of the dead, or assails the
honesty or virtue of the living, and
thereby hold them up to public hatred,
contempt And it or ridicule.—Code, crime for Sec. 4.521.
is a any man, with¬
out any provocation for it, to use
“abusive, language tending to cause a
breach of peace.”—Code, Section 4372.
The reason of all this is that the law
knows that men do not take kindly to
being will villifled, and if A. abuses li., I!,
give A. a black eye or a bloody wiil
nose, and a general disturbance
occur. The law, therefore, frowns
upon villiilers and men of abusive
tongues. It regards them as disturb¬
ers of the public peace and good order,
and starn [is them as dangerous charac¬
ters who ought to be punished instead
of being upheld.
it is quite true that while the law
frowns on such characters it also
frowns upon any attempt by private
parlies to forcibly redress with their
own hands the injury such characters
inflict upon them. It points the injured
parties to the courts which are al ways
open to deeveo merited chastisement
upon those who villify and abuse their
neighbors and thus endanger the pub¬
lic peace. Hut, ns between the man
who is provoked to violence and the
man who provokes him, the laws of
Georgia make a wide distinction.
They consider the man who stirs up
ami provokes the disorder as by far
the more guilty of the two. < >ne re¬
markable proof of this is the statute of
Georgia which says that if one man
uses opprobrious words or abusive
language to another and gets a healing
for it., the jury may say— and they gen¬
erally do say—that the provoked and
insulted person lias committed no
ciitne because the viliifler got no more

Stranger Than Fiction.
A hanging was once averted in Hall
county, this State, in a thrilling ami
unexpected mantier. A man was mur¬
dered for hiH money, it was thought,
lie disappeared, and after a long
search only a skeleton was found.
There were circumstances pointing to
another man as the perpetrator of the
awful deed. The clue wits taken tip
and one by one the links in the chain
of convicting evidence were discov¬
ered. He was placed on trial, con¬
victed and sentenced. The day for the
hanging came. People by thousands
came to see the human being swung
off into eternity. The black cap was
placed over the victim’s face and in
live minutes the tragedy would have
boon over. Just then a tall moun¬
taineer, who had been attracted to the
hanging along with the crowd, stepped
upon the gallows and a brief colloquy
between him and the sheriff ensued.
The tall mountaineer was the man
who had disappeared and whose death
was about to he avenged by the law.
