S L A ——————— Over 10,000 people are now kill ed annually by our railroads, aud over 100,000 injured. The Atlanta would-be black harder says dime novels did it. The Rome Tribune thought, per haps, it was the ‘‘Atlanta epirit.”’ It is much easier to make ene mies than friends, but it is easier to get rid of friends than it is to get rid of enemies, says the Atchi son Globe, and there is lots of truth in what it says. The Greer farm was offered the state for $l2 per acre, and is given in for taxation at $6. The Wim berly farm is given in for taxes at §2.75 per acre, and the state was asked $l5 per acre for it. Our governor should be elected in November and inaugurated ear ly in January following. The fact of the ousiness is, the state and national elections should be held on the same day. If we are not mistaken, the people are sick and tired of so many elections.—Da rien Gazette. The state of Massachusetts has a probiem on its hands in the ex cees of its female population. This is 80 great that it is computed that the state has a surplue of 100,000 old maids and widows. The larger part of these are not in affluent circumstances, and many of them are very poor. How these may be provided for, that they may be self-supporting and not become a charge on the state, is one of the etate’s problems. In Pittsburg the other day an expectant grandmother was in formed that ‘‘it’’ was twins. She fell dead from emotien. When the father was informed of the plurality of ‘‘it,”’ and of the fate of the grandmother, he went out to the barn and hanged himself to a rafter. Human emotions are marvelous things. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish whether they are of happiuess or regret. What is whisky? This uation of ours consumes annually 135,- 000,000 gallons of what it calls whisky. But ie it the real stuff? The question was put to the Roose velt administration, and it failed to give a satisfactory answer. The question is now ‘‘up to’’ President Taft. The pure food law eays that ‘‘straight,”’” ‘‘blended’’ and ‘‘fab ricated”’ whisky shall be so label ed. The difficuity seems to be in determining what is the standard, 80 as to classifv the variations. For some time past a prominent preacher of Macon City, la., has been denouncing the city adminis tration for its failure to enforce the city lawe. A few days ago there occurred a vacancy in the office of chief of police, and the mayor has now wvited the preach er-critic to accept the office and geo that the laws are carried out to the Jetter. Some citizens have of fered to pay a bonus of $40.00 a month to the preacher, in addition to the regular salary, if he will take the office. He is said to have demurred to the proposition. *ls there something I can put in his coffee that will make him quit emoking?"’ *‘Sure thing, strychnine.”’ 'HOME-MADE CLOTHES FOR THE ! GOVYERNOR. ~ From the Marietta Journal it is learned that Governor-elect Joseph M. Brown will be inaugurated in a suit of ‘“Joe Brown” cheviots made in Cobb county by a new pants factory just established there by Mr. J. Lindsey Johnson, the brilliant editor of the Rome Tribune-Herald, one of the bright est and best of the Gecrgia dailies. He has bought the Concord Woolen Milis, and now has them in opera tion. Amcng the patterns are stripes and solid cheviots, black and brown. Hie brown are called ‘‘Joe Brown’’ cheviots. ‘ I The Telegraph is glad to learn of this Georgia enterprise; and 1s 'more than glad, if the report is true, to learn that our democratic ‘governor, who is distinctly Jeffer sonian in his simplicity, 18 not ashamed to be inaugurated in “home-made’’ clothes. We are glad that he is going to cut the silk-hat and glad-rag parade, as well as the blustering fanfare of trumpet and drum. Of course the inanguration should be a serious affair—almost solemn—but it is‘ time we were cutting out, at least in Georgia, vain Imitations of royal purple and regal capers. When Jefferson was sworn in as President he rode to the capitol on horseback and hitched the ani mal to a hitching post, and then walked into the building and took the oath. Mark the contrast with the pomp and circumstance of our latter day inaugurations. Mere and more we invest our public ser vants with regal equippages—at least we permit them to thus crown themselves.—Macon Telegraph. WHERE THE TARIFF TAX GOES, The people of this country pay more for the ‘‘protectior.’’ of man ufacturers, truste and combines, than they centribute in the way of tariff tax to the revenue of the government. Takethe sugar tariff, for instance, The tax on refined sugar is prohibitory So little is brought into the country that the resulting revenue is a negligible item. But this tax enables the sugar trust to add 2 cents a pound to the price of refined sugar. The consumption of sugar last year in the United States was near'y 6,- 400,000,000 pounds—showing a per capita use of 82 pounds. The tax on raw sugar contributes heav ily to the revenue; but the tax on refined goes to swell the profits of the trust. And this 18 the way the Republican protective tariff sys tem works all the way down through the long list of protected articles which the people have to buy.—Albany Hersld. TOO MODEST. A duck who had faithfully stuck to business daring the summer and laid several dozen large: fawn colored eggs, complained that she was not appreciated. ‘‘See that hen over there?’’ said the duck; ‘*she has not laid so many eggs as I have, nor so big, but she has books written about her and verses composed in her honor, while po body says a word about me.” *“The trouble with you is,’’ said a wise Buff Leghorn cock, that was standing near, ‘‘that you do not tell the public what you’ve done. You lay an egg and waddle off without letting anybody in the neighborhood know about lit. 1f you want to cut any ice in this community, you must learn to ad vertise in the Marietta Journal.’’ CHARACTER. Character is greater and higher than money, intellect, or love, because it determines the use and direction of these three. It is the character of the rich man which determines whether he shall be a benefactor or a curse to society. It is character which determines whether the learned man shall use hisknowledge as a destructive or as a constructive force in society. 1t 1s character which determines wheth er love shall be a passion working havoc in human life, or a grace beautifying aud ennobling life. Character i 8 the determining force behind money, intellect, love—and 8o 1t ie the greatest force in human life. Realizing this, all will ap preciate the necessity of careful thought and thoughtful care in building character.—Great ‘Thoughts. Cook county, Illinois, has es tablished a ‘‘wheel tax’’ on vehi cles. The tax is graduated accord ing to the width of tires on wheels. A tire of standard width pays no tax, but & tire under standard is required to pay in proportion to its narrowness. Wide tires really improve the roadways, while nar row tires cat and injure them. The wheel tax was not adopted in Cook county a 8 a revenue measure, but was designed to protect the im proved roads, which cost the gen eral public a great deal of money. LOUISIANA LETTER. Hoop’s MiLLs, LaA., April sth, 1909. Editors Journal : —Cotton crop was short last year on account of the Mexican boll weevil. All other crops very good. A heap of corn rotted in the field owing to wet spell. About half the cotton acre age planted this year in this sec tion. This is the first year since 1872 that I have missed planting cotton seed. lam going to raise corn, potatoes, peas, gooberpeas, sugar cane and meat. Owing to a wet, cold snap, we are late in planting this year, I think we will have a good peach and apple crop. I see in ‘‘Alien’s’’ Lost Moun tain dots where he recommends that the law in regard to boys smoking cigarettes be enforced. Why not make it a penalty for the old folke to use the filthy weed also? I won’t whip a child for doing anything I do myself. I ‘have seen people that would refuse their dear children a cup of coffee, and yet they would drink it in the presence of the child. I send you a specimen of the boll ' veevil.

' PORTLAND, MAINE, CHILD | 111, Weak and Emaciated, Re stored to Health by Vinol “Our little daughter, six years of age, after a severe attack of the measles, which developed into pneumonia, was left pitifully thin, weak and emaciat ed. Ske had no appetite, and her stom ach was so weak it could not retain food. She lay in this condition for weeks, and nothing the doctor pre scribed did a bit of good, and we were beginning to think she would never re cover. “At this time we commenced to give her Vinol, and the effect was marvel ous. The doctor was amazed at her progress, and when we told him we were giving her Vinol, he replied, ‘lt is a fine remedy, keep it up.’ We did 80, and she recovered her health and strength months before the doctor thought she could.” J. W. Flagg, Portland, Me. Vinel eures conditions like this be cause in a natural manner it increases ‘ the appetite, tones up the digestive organs, makes rich, red blood, and strengthens every organ in the body. R. E. BUTLER & SONS. | Marietta, Ga. Frley’s Kidney Cure makes idnevs and bladder right The stable has given way to the garage. For nervous, tired women, we recommend Car dui. Cardui is a woman’s medicine. It acts specifi cally on the female organs and has a tonie, building effect on the whole system. It contains no harmful ingredients, being a pure vegetable extract. If you suffer from some form of female trouble, get Cardui at once and give it a fair trial. J3s It Will Help You Mrs. W. W. Gardner, of Paducah, Ky., tried Cardui and writes: “T think Cardui is just grand. I have been usir.g it for eleven years. T am 48 years old and feel like a different woman, since 1 have been taking it. I used to suffer from bearing down ains, nervousness and sleeplessness, but now the pains are all gone and I sleep good. f highly recommend Cardui for young and old.” Try it AT ALL DRUG STORES l HOPE LIES IN 600 D MEN. | The hope of the South lies with 'men who see the possibilities of a majestic development and who ‘'work patiently- to produce that ‘development, though their own eyee may close in death before that development arrives.
