_ The Qualification Bill Again. _ ,
5 e i
The gist of the Firemen’s Qualification bill is contained in the
first paragraph of the bill introduced again in the Legislature,
Its purpose is to safe-guard the traveling public and it should
become a law in Georgia. Any man assuming even only a portion of
the r »3ponsibvility of railway t avel should certzin'y have the reason
able knowledge demanded of him in the first section of the bill,
which reads: .
“Beit enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia, and it is
hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that no corpora
tion or person, natural or artificial, operating a railway or part of
a railway in this state, shall employ for the position of locomotive
firemen upon any railway in this state, or suffer to remain in
its employment any fireman who cannot read the railroad sched
ule, time cards and rule books, or who cannot understand and
calculate the difference between the printed time cards of railway
fixing schedules aud telegraphic orders ¢ hanging, superseding or
modifying such schedules, and who cannot understand the effect
of such orders upon the operations of trains. or who cannot read
the orders for the movement of trains in the form usual to the
operation of rzailways by telegraphic orders.”’
Good Roads And Railroads
There is considerable comment as to the effect good roads will
have upon the revenues of railroads, and some students of the matter
profess to see a real danger to the latter because of the increasing
popularity of automobiles, which, as a natural consequcnce, keeps
pace with improving dirt road facilities.
We believe those who hold to this view fail to take into conside
ration the fact that the revenue of railroads, or, to be more accurate,
the net profits of the railroads, arise in small part from the passen.
ger-carrying traffic. If the railroads of the United States were com
pelled to exist upon the returns from passenger mileage either the
service would retrograde so rapidly and materially as soon to become
primeval or else they would be compelled to quit business.
It is from the incoms derived from hauling freight that the rail
roads declare dividends, and good roads, wherever found, mean more
€reight for the railroads. Better highways throughout the rural dis
tricts mean increased production of the various crops, and those crops
are going to be hauled to the nearest railroad station and shipped.
-fust where they will be shipped matters little to the railroads ¢s a
whole. They must travel over the rails, and as compensation for the
¢ auling the railroads charge rates which enable them to pay operating
« xpenses and declare dividends to their stockholders.
It would be illogical for a railroad company to oppose the fu:-
therance of the good roads propaganda, and we do not recall one which
Bias cver done so.—Dawson News,

What Is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is the modern school
‘l of manipulative, adjustive medicine
and surgery, which treats disease
and deformity according to me
chanical principles, without drugs
or knife, Its new viewpoint is
that disease, for the most part,
lies within the tissues in the form
of faulty relations of part to part,
mal-adjustmert of structures, ab
normal contractions, congestions.
‘mechanical distarbances—the logi
‘cal remedy for suel: states of “‘dis
ease” being, of course, to adjust
the disorder, to relax contractures,
to replace displaced stiuctures.
Isn’t that simple enough? -
Osteopathy looks upon the bu
man organism as a fine machine,
faultlesslv constructed, sufficient
within itself for all the demands
of life, provided only that its tisse
‘ues, organs and systems are kept
‘properly adjusted, normally nour
ished and not abused beyond the
‘point of endurance. The usual ard
‘typical failures of Lealth it regards
as primarily the result of struc
tures within the machine getting
out of normal form and adjustment.
Any machine will go wrong as
soon as any of its parts get out of
adjustment, Can’t you think of
the human machine iz just the‘
same way ?
Osteopathic diagposis of Wo
man’s long catalog of diseases is
that mechanical disorder somehow
and sorewhere has been set up in
her system. Perhaps her spine has
become at fault; perhaps her pelvis
i 3 to blame; no doubt, also, her
sexual organs are deranged secon
darily—but where is the origin and
what is the faetor that continues
the whole trouble? What first
caused the mischief? Where is the
nerve presure? What obstructs
the circulation? I will try to
make the importance of these
things plain. When you under.
stand ‘‘dis-ease” to register merely
“dis-order” in the anatomy you
will see clearly that replacement
and adjustment are the natural and
only reasonable way to spell
“‘cure,”— Osteopathic Health. i

To The Public
It is well understood that my
chief object in entering the race
for mayor was if elected, to see
that the expressed will of the peo
ple at the pollsin connection with
the prohibition issue was carried
out by the mayor and council.
Mr. Drew W. Paulk who announc
es to succeed himself has addressed
a card to the public in which he
promises to be governed by the
majority ot the council in the fu
ture in all matters pertaining to
near-beer and prohibition, and to
rigidly enforce these laws in the
cause of law and order. In all
other respects he makes a most
excellent mavor, and administers
the affairs of the city to the gen
eral satisfaction of the people at
large in view of which facts I see
no ‘reason why I should oppose
him, and therefore withdraw from
the race with the assurance to.m>
friends that I sincere’: appreciate
their loyal support so generously
promised me.

A Card To The Public
As prohibition, and the question
of licensing the near-beer is the
paramount issue in the forthcom
ing city primary, in order that my
position may be thoroughly under
stood by the entire public, I wish
to unequivocally state that in the
event of my election to the office
of Mayor I skall abide by the
wishes and votes of the majority
of the city council, in all matters
that may come up with reference
to this issue, and shall use my best
endeavors to see that the express
ed will of the people at the polls
is carried out. I wish further to
agree to rigidly enforce the pro
hibition laws, and do everything
in my power to conserve and pro
mote law and order. :

Monday’s Game
- The most exciting game of the
season was played on the local
‘diamond Monday afternoon against
i()ochran. The score was really
four to one in favor of Cochran,
‘but the Cochran umpire had such
a marvelous eve, in that he saw
things that really did not happen,
that he called another man safe
making the score five to one in
favor of the visitors. This umpire
was I¢placed by Carroway in the
second inning. A huge crowd saw
the game, the largest that has
w.tnessed a game on the local field.
The home boys looked swell in
their new suits and played as well
as they looked, Their were three
errors made by the locals, The
Cochran boys wore uniforms a
little soiled from hard playing but
their record for the game wus
spotless. Culpepper for Fitzger
ald up 13 hits. Williams for
Cochran, six.
In the eighth inning Culpepper;
pitched but three balls. Chrocran
popped up the first one to Cooner{
on second. Williams grounded out
second to first, Smith flied out tof
Norris in right field.
Hal Barnett was elected captain
of the team 'Monday by a large
majority of the club. Altho ac
outfielder has less opportunity to
manage the club on the field than

| WE TAKE THE SECOND
| Fitzgerald won the second game
of tie series Tuesday before an
other large crowd. The game was
close, 5 to 4 and both sides played
the best kind of ball.
Their were three feature casches
made, Barnett’s catch of Soseby’s
fly, up against the fence, Rhodes
catch of EKubanks fly over short
and Les Norris’s catch of Cochran’s
fly over second base. Beal made
one extra geod catch too.
Garwood pitched excellent ball
for Fitzgerald and some say that
his hitting was a big factor in
breaking up the game 1n the eighth.
Charlie hit 500, Fuss, the kid
pitcher of Cochran, pitched as
good a game as could be wished
from one of his experience.
~ Meebhan for Cochran gave the
crowd some pointers about pegging
and Monahan for Fitz did equally
as good work behind the rubber.
Quarrels and Carroway umpired
the game.
