NEEDED. ‘
If a Democratic President and Con
gress should be elected, and some leg
‘islation was proposed and adopted look
ing to the benefits of the people at
large—the masses and not the classes—
the public instead of the crusts and
rivileged interests—now, wouldn’t it
ge a novel situation? It has been a
long time since such legislation has
been eracted at the national capital.—
Columbus Enquirer-SBun |
Indeed, it would be a ‘‘novel situa
tion ’’ This government needs a change
of administration. It would prove ben
eficial in every particular. There is
too much political gangrene in evi
dence that needs the surgeon’s knife tog
eliminate. The Democratic party, not
withstanding its many defeats, is cour
ageous—is standing by its principles
and contending unyieldingly for their
triumph, It is the party of the people,
It has its foundation in the bed rock of
Jeffersonian doctrines, and will live cn,
because it deserves to live. The Inde
pendence League and other side parties
may weaken it, but it takes on new
‘blood and battlesfor the supremacy of
good government in behalf of the
masses against the classes; and, there.
fors, legislation at the capital by the
Democratic party is what is needed.
- A CITY OF A MILLION HENS.
Bome fifty miles north of San Fran.
eisco the town of Petaluma lies on a
moor betwaen low mountains., It is
largely built up on the poultry indus
tfy. In the portion of Sonoma county
tributary to the town over 120,000,000
eggs were produced '\n 1907, more than
10,000,000 dozen. At'least 75 per cent.‘
of the people of the county raise poul
try. Itis not an occupation relegated
to the grandmothers. It is a man’s oc
cupation, In Petaluma men are chicken
raisers as they are elsewhere bankers.
merchants or lawyers. One of the
hatching plants has a capacity of 100,-
000. That is to say, it can, and does,
when the season’s demands are heavy,
turn out 100,000 young chickens every
three weeks. They go east to Kansas
City, south into Old Mexico. north into
British Columbia.
Mr. Phil Blaé\kenship. a former Mari
etta man, resided for a while at this
place, and engaged in poultry raising
very successfully.
In our trip to OCaliforuia, we observed,
near Los Angeles, where one man had
10,000 pigeons, and his chief occupation
was to raise pigeons for San Francisco
and Los Angeles markets, the demand
being greater than he could supply.
His income was very large from this
indugtry,
HOW HE WILL VOTE.
Hon. Joseph M. Brown attended the
Democratic Bryan and Brown rally in
Savannah on Friday night. In passing
through Atlanta he gave out an inter
view, in which he stated that he has
never made any pretensions to being a
public speaker, and does not now pro
pose to speak in publie, and, in conclu
sion, said: ‘‘But by pen, presence or
otherwise, I am glad to encourage
others to vote, as I shall vote, for the
nominees of the National Democratic
ticket—Bryan and Kern. No Democrat
in Georgia can afford to vete other
wise.”’
HE TOOK ’EM BOTH.
A man a little beyond the prime of
life called at the Home for the Friend
less in Atlanta a few days ago and
wanted to adopt a little boy. |
Some of the ladies, in questioning the
man, asked him if he was quite sure he
could give the child proper care and
education.
He said: ‘“Well, I have reared eleven,
but they are getting most grown, and
my wife is just about barefoot for a
baby, 8o I come for one. We can give
him a good home and a plain educa
tion.”
They brought out two little tots—a
boy and a girl, brother and sister—and
asked him to take his choice. When he
found that they were brother and sister,
he thought a minute and said: ‘‘Well,
I can’t bear to separate 'em. Just bun
dle ’em both up and give ’eral to me.”’

Chinese Minister Wu Ting-fang, in
an address at Battle Creek, Mich., tells
Americans his rules for attaining long
Ihife. He said:
“We pay too little attention to-day
to the subject of health and the eare of
our bodies,”” he told his audience.
‘‘Health is far more important than
wealth, for what matters how many
millions & man has if he does not pos
sess the wealth to enjoy it. We devote
too much time to acquiring wealth and
too little to the cultivation of health.”
Remarking that four years ago he
was impressed with the fact that he was
living improperly, he continued :
“1 was a great sufferer from sciatica
and other complaints. I had always
been very fond of tea and meats. I
drank tea, coffee and wines, and led a
sedentary life. I became convinced
that I was doing wrong, and gave up
eating meats and all rieh foods, in
cluding coffee, wine and even tea—the
latter with tears in my eyes, because
you all know that tea 18 the national
beverage in my country. lat once be
gan to get better, and have since been
entirely well.”’
Several Marietta people who have
adopted a similar course of diet, have
found equally as good results.

WHAT HE FOUND.
The other day Will Mudd was
taking a chew of thin plug chew
ing tobacco and he bit something
he did not think was tobacco, and
upon jinvestigation it wae discov
ered that he was trying to chew a
finger bone that some unfortunate
person had gotten ‘‘smashed off”
while preparing the tobacco for
market. The question has srisen
as to whether the bone belonged to
a man or woman, or whether they
were white or black people, but we
think the decision has not yet been
reached. Since that day Will hae
chewed no more tobacco. It isal
-8o noticed that all people around
here who are still chewing, always
cut the tcbacco very fne before
they chew it, Here’'s wishing for
more tobacco with bones in It.—

HOW T 0 KILL A LIE.
It’s pretty hard to know how to
treat a lie when it’s about your
self. You can’t go out of your
way to deny it, because that puts
you on the defensive, and sendiug
the truth after a lie that’s got a
good running start is like trying
to round up a stampeded herd of
steers when the scare is on them.
Lies are great travelers and wel
come visitors in a good many
homes, and no questions asked.
Truth travels slow, has to prove
its identity, and then a lot of peo
ple heeitate to turz out an agree
able stranger to make room for it.
About the only way to kill a lie
is to live the trath. When your
credit is attacked don’t bother to
deny the rumors, but discount
your bills. When you are attack
ed unjustly, go about your busi
ness,along the usual ruts, and the
lies soon fade away for lack of
nourishment.
