COOL

THIS SUMMER
The cooling breezes of an electric fan are the
answer to the discomforts of heat. You can now
have their refreshing coolness anywhere there is
' an electric fixture at a cost of
1 Less Than 1 cent per Hour.
Think of what that would mean to you—a night's comfort
for less than the cost of a picture show—a cool kitchen to
cook the meal and a pleasant dining room in which to enjoy
it—an end to stifling office work. And all at a trifling cost.

prices. Write today for fall information. It will mean much to you.

OLDER BUT STRONGER
-To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring Chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-nourishing
properties of Scott’s Emulsion which is a
food, a tonic and a medicine to keep your
blood rich, 'Alleviate rheumatism and
Avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott’s.

Seems as if it doesn’t ever intend to
quit raining. You can almost see the
grass growing and choking the corn
and cotton.
Sunday school was very good at this
place Sunday, considering the weather.

the preacher couldn’t be there; but
come again next third Sunday, and you
will hear th© sermon which would have
been Sunday.
Mr. A. J. Hord returned home last

Mrs. Sallie Mitchell’s children and
grand-children surprised her with a
birthday dinner at her home last

There will be an all-day singing at
Center Point th© third Sunday in June.
Everybody is cordially invited to come

neighbor who has found relief. Read
what a Dalton citizen says.

Dalton, says: “I suffered a lot from
my hack and was so bad off that I could
hardly get up after stooping over. I
could get no rest and was in misery all
the time. I was so sore and lame, I
couldn’t sit in a chair without support
for my back. Frequent headaches and
dizziness made my suffering worse. The
kidney secretions passed irregularly and
I had other symptoms of kidney trouble.
I used three boxes of Doan’s Kidney
Pills, procured from Fincher & Nichols’

backache and put my kidneys in good
shape. ’ ’

WHY THE USE OF DRUGS
SOMETIMES INCREASES
Atlanta, Ga.—The danger of a seri
ous increase in the use of such drugs
as cocaine, morphine and heroin if
the prohibition law is made any more
stringent in Georgia, is being foreseen
by thoughtful court and police offi
cials here, and may become a serious
problem.
It has been noted that every time
the “lid” is screwed down so tight
as to make it impossible for the aver
age man to secure ordinary stimulat
ing beverages, the number of dope
fiends increases, and the problem is
the more serious because the use of
drugs is not only hurtful to the health
of the user, but particularly in the
case of cocaine often makes him a
dangerous criminal.
A temperate use of such beverages
as light, wholesome beer is regarded
by many as the ideal solution of the
whole liquor problem, as--total prohi
bition has almost invariably brought
dangerous consequences in its wake.
The countries which have led the
world in thrift and achievement, like
England and Germany, have from time
immemorial been users of malt and
spirituous liquors. The only country
which has had permanent and real to
tal prohibition is Turkey, and while
it is true that the Turks generally
comply with the strict letter of the
prophet’s inhibition touching wine,
they, are notoriously addicted to the
use of opium and other narcotics, and
to coffee in a concentrated form, with
the result that they are the most back-
want race in Europe.
IS
RESTLESS?
DESTINY OF NATIONS DEPENDS
UPON CONTENTED HOMES.
By W- D. Lewis.
President Texas Farmers’ Union.
Why Is woman dissatisfied? Why
does she grow restless under the
crown of womanhood? Why is she
weary of the God-given jewel of moth
erhood? Is it not a sufficient political
achievement for woman that future
rulers nurse at her breast, laugh in
her arms and kneel at her feet? Can
ambition leap to more glorious heights
than to sing lullabies to the world’s
greatest genuises, chant melodies to
master minds and rock the cradle of
human destiny?
God pity our country when the hand
shake of the politician is more grati
fying to woman’s heart than the pat
ter of children’s feet.
Woman Is Ruler Over All.
Why does woman chafe under re
straint of sex? Why revile the hand
of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has clung to since
the beginning of time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
the tears of sorrow from the face of
childhood? In its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
in shame; clinging to its motherly
folds, tottering children have learned
to play hide and seek and from it
youth learned to reverence and re
spect womanhood. Can man think of
his mother without this - consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow
er? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears of regret over his depar
ture, he has lived in vain. Why this
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worships her? Man has given woman
his heart, his name and his money.
What more does she want?
Can man find it in his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one of
the most powerful political bosses in
the country, that his distinguished
grandmother was one of the ablest
filibusters in the Cenate or that his
mother was a noted warrior and her
name a terror to the enemy? Whither
are we drifting and where will we
land?
God Sav.e Us From a Hen-Pecked
Nation.
I follow the plow for a living and
my views may have in them the smell
of the soil; my hair is turning white
under the frost of many winters and
perhaps I am a little old-fashioned,
but I believe there is more moral in
fluence in the dress of woman than in
all the statute books of the land. As
an agency for morality, I wouldn’t
give my good old mother’s home
made gowns for all the suffragette’s
constitutions and by-laws in the world.
As a power for purifying society, I
wouldn’t give one prayer of my saintly
mother for all the women's votes in
Christendom. As an agency for good
government, 1 wouldn’t give the plea
of a mother’s heart for righteousness
for all the oaths of office in the land.
There is more power In the smile
of woman than in an act of congress.
There are greater possibilities for
good government in her family of
laughing children than in the cab
inet of the president of the United
States
The destiny of this nation lies in
the home and not in the legislative
halls. The hearthstone and the fam
ily Bible will ever remain the source
of our inspiration and the Acts of the
Apostles will ever shine brighter than
the acts of Congress.
This country is law-mad. Why add
to a statute book, already groaning
under its own weight, the hysterical
cry of woman? If we never had a
chance to vote again in a lifetime and
did not pass another law in twenty-
five years, we could survive the or
deal, but without home, civilization
would wither and die.
God save these United States
from becoming a hen-pecked nation;
help us keep sissies out of Congress
and forbid that women become step
fathers to government is the prayer
of the farmers of this* country.
A DIVINE COVENANT.
\
God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order of com
panionship, civilization has towered
to its greatest heights. In this rela
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not a party
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a-
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that it is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman’s
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs of the
human -race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and un
ashamed.

TAINTED POLITICS
By Peter Radford.
This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There is
scarcely a campaign speech made, a
platform demand written or a mea
sure enacted into, law that does not
carry the taint of personal gain of
some politician or political faction
thereof.
There is more “blue sky” in cam
paign promises of many politicians
running for office than was ever con
tained in the prospectuses of the bold
est promoters of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret com
binations formed by politicians in the
name of “My Country” than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re
bates hidden in the phrase “Be it en
acted” than were ever concealed un
der any and all other disguises.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than a political party
that seeks to make junk of an in
dustry, or cripple a business for party
success, through tariff measures, po
litical supervision and ofttimes de
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their consummation
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in office today who, if they
could not shake plums off the tree of
American liberty or cut a melon taken
from Uncle Sam’s commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public.
The country is surfeiting with patri
ots, who will hare their breast to bul
lets in defense of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor in de
fense of agriculture or industry. No
representative of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of a political
campaign to influence judgment can
render capable service.
The preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, conrage and
honesty in government, and the Amer
ican voter should seek these attri
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the plow or the staff of
the Shepherd. The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule Is
fresh air and sunshine and these im
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm, and when farmers,
bankers and merchants are elected to
membership in legislative bodies, much
of the trouble in government will dis
appear.
WATEtffD SEC URITIES
By Peter Radford.
Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should he able
to say “I know that my Redeemer
liveth,” but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
water in its financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water in a farmer’s note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in a business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only dif
ference is, the water is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur
ities-in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property in
volved hut the usurer, as a rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
industries that cry londer but none
that suffer more severely from finan
cial immorality in both law and cus
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying $200,000,000 per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents $4,000,000,-
000 of fictitious values which the farm
er is paying interest on. This sum of
money is almost equal to the annual
value of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power of the farmer’s
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth’s sur
face—three-fourths water and one-
fourth land. The largest body of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests nppn the farms
and its waves are dashing and its
billows are rolling against seven mil
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity of the nation.
Will oar public servants who under
stand how to drain the liquid off in
dustrial properties turn the faucet and
let the. water off the farms?

Danger Signals to Women
are what one physician called backache
headache, nervousness, and the blues’
In many cases they are symptoms of
some female derangement or an inflam
matory, ulcerative condition, which may
be overcome by taking Lydia E. Pink-
ham’sVegetable Compound. Thousands
of American women willingly testify to
its virtue.
It Is an admitted economic fact that
there can be no permanent prosperity
without a permanent agriculture.
Agriculture is recognized as the
greatest of all industries and a pros
perous, progressive and enlightened
agricultural population is the surest
safeguard of civilization.

Economical from every viewpoint.
Announcement.
To the Voters of Whitfield County:
At the last general election the peo
ple selected the Board of County Com
missioners as follows: Hon. J. E. Carr
from the West side, Hon. J. B. Wal
lace from the North side, Hon. Sam
Boyles from the East side, Hon. W.
Tom Cox from the South side of the
county, and Hon. Harlan Wood, the
Ordinary, now lives in Dalton; there
fore, the people intended by their votes
that every section of the county should
be represented upon the Board of
County Commissioners. Mr. Cox, hav
ing recently died, leaves the section
from which he was elected, now
without representation. Being a
resident of the section left without a
member of the hoard, I take this method
of announcing myself a candidate to
fill the unexpired term of Mr. Cox.
I am no reeent convert to the good
roads movement, having furnished to
the county for her roads thousands of
loads of chert absolutely free.
I am in favor of the Dixie Highway
and hope to see the day when every
road in the county wiU be a “Dixie
Highway,” not only for the tourists to
use when- pasing through our county,
but for our farmers to haul their pro
ducts to market.
I am not running in the interest of
any particular section, but if elected I
shaU strive to see that every section of
the county receives fair and impartial
treatment.
I shall endeavor to have the finances
of the county administered in an eco
nomical manner, and I will give to the
business of the county the same careful
attention that I have given to my own
personal affairs.
I respectfuHy ask your support.
BUELL STAKE.
For Commissioner.

“For nearly a year, I suf

only gave me temporary
relief. I was certainly in
