MARIBETTA GA-
TrURSDAY MORNING, MAR. 19, 1908.
Many a man’s reputation for
wisdom :B,due to his abihity to
keep hig' mouth shut.
, They have traced the origin of
the recent Tampa fire to a man
who went to bed smoking a cigar
ette. Asa net result over 300
buildings were burned, including
residences, hotels, factories and
business piaces; 1,000 people were
made homeless, a woman dieddfrom
shock, 4,000 workers were thrown
out of employment, and his amoke
cost about $BOO,OOO. Of course,
the careless smoker was sorry, just
as the next careless smoker, who
works more destruction than a
blizzard or a tornado, will be.
Admiral Evans’ long cruise with
his great battleship fleet was prac
tically completed when the ship
dropped anchor in Magdalena Bay.
1t is true that the vessels are going
further, but the hard part of the
cruise is now over, and the trip up
the coast of California will be
mersly a pleasure jaunt as com
pared with what has been left be
hind. So far as the information
goes, the cruise was without unto
ward incident, and in all proba
billity Evans and his men aud‘
ghips are in condition to fight 1f
fighting were necessary. The coun
try will feel a sense of relief in
knowing that the vessels are safe
and the men in good shape.
The Southern Railway closed
down on the repair department of
its shops in Atlanta last week and
150 to 200 men were thrown out of
employment. Officials of the road
say that the orders affects only
some 10 par cent, of the men em
ployed. It is understood that
similar action is being taken by
the Southern at all points where
it has shops, snd that over a
thousand men will be thrown out
of woerk. The only explanation by
officiais of the road is that there
i 8 no work for the men to do, and
that the road cannot afford to pay
them for remaining idle. One of
the employes affected by the order
says the following men were put
out in Atlanta: 85 machinists at
$3.20 per day; 15 helpers at $1.50;
6 blacksmiths at $8.20; 25 carpen
ters at $2.50 to $2.75; 25 apprentice
boys at $l, and 5 painters at $8.50.
This makes a total of 159 employes.
A year ago Dr. Sill of Worcester,
Maes., aged 82, hud presentiment,
that he would die in six months.
He was well-to-do. So firmly did
he believe that he had only six
months to live that he gave away
all of his property and mouey to
charitable institutions and person
al friends, reserving only eneugh
to last him until the time of his
prospective death. But he didn’t
die; aud, failing to shuffle off, he
found himself penniless. And,
being penniless, his friends and
the charitable institutions that he
had loaded with his bounty declin
ed to do any thing for him, so the
old man was the other day carried
to the county poorhouse where,
while awaiting death as a charge
upon the community, he will have
time to contermplate his own stu
pidity aud the ingratitude of his
beneficiaries.
REAL EDUCATION.
‘There was an idea in clden times
—and it is not yet dead—that
whoever was educated ought not to
work—that he should use his head
and not his hands., Graduates
were aechamed to be found engaged
in manual labor, in plowing fields,
in sowing or in gathering grain.
To this manly kind of independ
ence they preferred the garret and
the precarious existence of an an
appreciated pcet, borrowing
their money from their friende,
and their ideas from the dead.
The educated regarded the useful
as degiading—they were willing
to stain their souls to keep their
hands white.
The object of all education
should be to increase the useful
ness of man—usefulness to himself
and others. Every human being
should be taught that his firet duty
is to take care of himself, that to
be gelf-respecting he must be self
supporting. To live on the labor
of others, either by force which
enslaves, or by cunning which
robs, or by borrowing or begging
is wholly dishonorable. Every
man should be taught some useful
art. His hands should be educa
ted as well as his head. He should
be taught to deal with things as
they are—with life as it is. This
would give a feeling of independ
ence, which is the firmest founda
tion of honor, of character,
Every man kunowing that he 1s
useful, admires himself.
A FORMER COBB COUNTIAN WRITES
Hoops MiLLs, La., March 10, 'OB,
Editors Journal :—~Jackson Par
ish, or county, is what you would
call “‘piney woods,’’ and the most
of it is long leaf pine, though we
have what we call ‘‘brushy woode.”’
This ‘‘brushy woods’’ is where the
ghort leaf pines grow. The soil is
a gray or dark loam, sandy land,
suitable for nearly every kind of
vegetable, corn and cotton, and all
kinds of melons. Corn will make
from 15 to 20 bushels per acre,
without fertilizers, and cottou
from one-half to a bale per acre.
This is an average crop—though I
have seen plenty of this land yield
from 20 to 30 bushels per acre of
corn; and it is a great country for
potatoes and syrup cane, the
finest kind; in fact, everything
that is used for the table. Wheat,
also, grows very well here.
Well, T must say something
about our stock range. It is very
fine for cattle in the summer,
and does very well for same pur
pore in winter. For hogs, I think
it beats any country I was over in.
I kill all the meat I want, and lots
of it to sell, every year, and Idon’
give them a grain of coru. We
have swamps that have fine mast,
‘ the white oak and piv oak, and
we have post oak and red oak in
‘the hills; and we have good water,
wells and springs; we have two
new railrcads running through our
parish, the Rock lsland and the
Tremont & Gulf. Our nearest
market by rail is Chathamville.
We have a great industry here in
my ward, a turpentine distillery,
in 7 miles of my home. They work
over one hundred hands—chopping
pines and dipping and hauling,
and it looks pretty to go through
the turpentine orchard.
' Well, Messrs. Editors, I see that
politics are hot in old Cobb, and
that there are some very promi
nent gentlemeu announced for
commissioners. Your humble
writer has filled that office for the
last 12 years. We are called Police
Jury, instead of Commissioners;
we atteud to all public roads and
public buildings, control all of
the finances of our parish, elect
our parish treasurer, and attend to
a whole lot of things.
Well, I will say I hope to meet
a lot of my old brother soldiers at
Birmingham at the‘Confederate re
union, I want all of old Co. B,
41st Ga., who can, to meet me
there,

To Catarrh Sufferers.
Good Advice and Liberal Offer From
Well-known Marietta Druggists.
C. M. Orosby & Co. are advising all
who suffer from any of the symptoms
of catarrh, such as offensive breath,
dryness of the nose, pain across the
eyes, stoppage of the nose, discharges
and droppings in the throat, coughing
spasms and general weakness and de
bility, to use Hyomei. They go so far
'as to offer to refund the money to any
user of Hyomei who is not perfectly
satisfied with the results.
Quick rehief follows the use of the
Hyomei treatment ; the stoppage of the
noge is removed, the dropping ceases,
the breath becomes pure and sweet,
and the catarrhal germs are destroyed
and their growth prevented.
Go to C. M. Crosby & Co.’s to-day and
buy a complete Hyomei outfit for $1
with the understanding thatif it does
not %ive satisfaction, your money will
p® refunded.
Easter is approaching, but it is
a pleasure to pounder on the fact
that the new style bonnets canuot
be any more mashed up than the
present ones.
AN OPEN LETTER
To the People of Marietta.
To Whom It May Concern:
Of late there has been a good deal of
discussion in Marietta in regard to ad
vertised medicines and their value—the
papers are full of them.
-~ We want to say to every man, woman
and child in Marietta that we believe
‘the most valuable preparation of cod
liver oil—the best tonie reconstructor.
‘health restorer and strength creator—
‘we have ever sold in our store is Vinol.
~ Vinol is not a patent medicine, it con
‘tains no injurioua drugs, but it actually
does contain #ll of the medicinal, cura
tive elements taken from fresh cods’
livers, without a drop of the useless oil
to upset the stomach and retard its
‘'work, and tonic iron added.
Vinol is recognized throughout the
world as the greatest strength-creator
for old people, weak, sickly women and
children, nursing mothers, and after a
severe sickness. |
Vinol cures heacking coughs, chronie
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles. We ask the people of
Marietta vo try Vinol on our offer to
return money if it fails. C. M. Crusby
& Cr., Marietta.
