Class legislation is the bane of the
age. It is always vicious and it is sin
cerely to be regretted that we have
“class” laws on our statute books.
The way to remedy the wrong is
not by perpetuating the wrong, and
repeating the wrong, but to repeal
every one now in force and put every
class on a looting of equality before
the law.
That the census ef1900 should
show that the southern part of
Georgia has increased in popula
tion and prosperity more than the
northern part during the last de
cade, was a matter of some tur-
prise in certain quarters,. but it
was no surprise to those who have
watched the course of railroad buii
ding. A look at the map will
show that the country from the
Savannah river to the Florida state
line, south of a line down through
Macon, is crossed and recrossed by
railroad tracks. In some countrie
this might mean little else than
a passing over rocky ledges
through desert waters. In South
Georgia, however, every rail and
crosstie is laid through land that
produces results; first, in timber
lumber and turpentine, and later
in all fruits of field, orchard and
vineyard.
The pioneers who turn the forests
and their products Hnto gold clear
the way for the agriculturists.
Blooming cotton and tasseling corn
take the place of pines and oaks,
and lowing herds and fat swine
succeed the coon and ’possum.
The small railroad stations be
comes a village, and later a town,
as the forests are cleared and the
lands are transformed into farms
No such lands and no such cli
mate is to be found elsewhere on
the North - American continent as
in this section, fanned by the
breezes which sweep from the
Gulf of Mexico noreasterly to the
Atlantic. It is a rolling and well-
watered land, with a soil that is
easily cult'vated and rich
In the variety of its products. No.
wonder it is increasing in popula
tion and prosperity. One cannot
study the advantages of a country
from a car window, nevertheless
even a casual inspection from a
railway train will show that this
South Georgia “land of milk and
honey” is being rapidly and sub
stantially built up.—News.
It is ; .ways easy when a rumor
is being circulated that tends to in
jure the character and social stan
ding of an individual in a com
munity to make a bad matter
worse by helping spread the scan
dalous report. It is not necessary
to know a single fact in connection
with the matter in order to keep the
ball rolling; in truth, the less is
known the more that is heard. And
in a great many cases it is found
on investigation that the evil re-
no foundation whatev-
ports have
er. How cureful therefore we
should be to never take up a re
roach against our neighbor.

A good joke is told on a certain
minister of the gospel who likes to
trade horses by way of recreation.
Bv some means the preacher came
into possession of a horse that
wouldn’t pull at all when he came
to a hill. The parson found a pur
chaser, who inquired particularly as
to a-e, condition and qualities ot the
parson’s steed. At last he asked if he
was a tried puller. It would do your
soul food to see him pull, ” was the
enthusiastic reply. Trade was made
and in a few days the owner came
back and claimed the parson had
misrepresented the qualities of the
animal I told vou it would do your
s a od good to see him pulL The pur
chaser saw the point and dropped
the subject.
Philip.ties Not _ A Paradise*
\ Georgia boy in the Twenty-
ninth Infantry, writing to a friend
i Atlanta, gives the following des
cription of the Pliilipines: The
Philipines area bunch of trouble
athered on the western horizon of
civilization. They are -bounded on
west by hoodooism and smug
glers; on the north by rocks and
destruction; on the east byityphoons
and non soons; on the south by can
nibals and earthquakes. The soil is
very fertile, producing large crops
insurrection and treachery. The
inhabitants are very industrious,
their clieif occupation being trench
di—ing and making bolos. Tl^eir
houses are made principally of bam
boo and landscape. Their principal
amusements are cockfighting and
stealing. Their favorite diet is fried
rice boiled rice stewed rice and rice
The beast of burden is the caribon
and shoul a hundred mile journey be
undertaken with one of them, the
driver would die ot old age belore
reaching his destination. Malarial
fever is so prevalent that on numer
ous occasions the islands have been
shaken as if with a chill. The Phili
pines are a good present for a deadly
enemv. The natives are friendly, at
the point of a gun .while the climate
is pleasent and salubrious for mos
quitoes, ants, lizards, snakes roaches
bats, tarantulas, scorpions, centi
pedes and alligators. The soil is
adapted to raising foul aromas and
breeding disease.”
Dr. Hoff, a distinguished Vienna
physician, announces that he has
found a cure for comsumption,
upon which he stakes his reputa
tion as a physician that it is effica
cious in all cases that have not
reached the hopeless stage. This
discovery he says, is the result of
years of investigation and experi
ment which, he claims, have been
tested sufficiently to prove their
merit. This remedy is not a serum
but a mixture of drugs which may
readily be found in any drug store.
Dr. Hoff gives the formula gratis
It is as follows: *
“One part of arsenic a'*id. two
parts of carbonate of potash, three
of cinuamylic acid, five of distilled
water : heat until a perfect solution
is obtained, then add 25 parts of
cognac and three parts of extract
of opium which has been disoived
twenty-five parts of water and fil
tered. Of this mixture there are to
be taken at first 4 drops after sup
per, and the dose is to be gradual
ly in creased to twenty-two drops.’
Dr. Hoff testifies that he has
treated two hundred cases with
this remedy, which he found to be
very gratifying as to results. In
cipient cases lie reports were
quickly cured and those even in
advanced stages were greatly im
proved. The duration of tne treat
ment depends upon the condition
of the patient, a cure being effective
in mild cases in two months, while
if requires two years in more se
vere ones. Tne doctor reports one
case in which he effected a cure in
two years in which were cavities
in the patient’s lungs large enough
for the insertion of a first.
If Dr. Hoff’s remedy shall prove
to be all that he claims it is, it will
beja godsend to many thousands of
sufferers throughout the land.
The Methodists, Baptist and Pres -
bvterians of Marietta recentyl held
union exercises, the object being to
promote the interests of the church
un verse. This is an illustration of
the practicability of church feder
ation. Organic union among the
evangelical churches is both im
possible and undesirable, nut we
have in federation everything nec
essary to conduce to Christian fel
lowship and to advance the cause
of religion. Church federation, in
some respects resembling organic
union, is an accomplished fact in
England tne combined member
ship of all the churches represented
therein being greater than that of
the established church.
This is the spirit of the age. and
it is ultimately destined to domi
nate the world.

There will be no tears shed in the
south over the defeat of geDator
William E. Chandler, of New Hamp
shire, for re-election. In and out of
season he has always been a rabid
south hater, and his turning down
by New "Hampshire republicans is
no loss to this section.
A general reorganization of rail
ways included in the system has
been determined upon, provided the
plans of the directors can be carried
out. The meetings of the boards at
which the reorganization is to be ef
fected will be held, it is understood
in April.
The Savannah, Florida and Wes
tern is to be the leading line in the
reorganization. It is to acquire the
stock of other lines comprising the
system, and issue preferred stock up
on all the property included in the
reorganization.
No change in the operation of the
Plant System will follow the reor
ganization. For years the several
lines have been consolidated in so
far as their operation is concerned,
but their accounts have been audited
independently. The controller keeps
separate records cf the earnings and
expenses of each of the lines, and
each line has its own board of direc
tors.
It is said that the principle object
aimed at by the Plant System people
in the proposed consolidation is the
simplification of the work of the
auditing department. The labor of
conducting the affairs of many sep-
ai - ate lines, too, would be greatly
decreased, and a general board of
directors of the several lines are
found the same names, in a number
of cases, the Plant investment Com
pany being represented as the princi
pal stockholder.
All the lines now operated by the
Plant System, it is understood, are
to be included in the consolation save
Bone Bailey Branch of the Savan
nah, Florida and Western, the Tho-
notosassa Branch of the Savannah
Florida and Western, the Sanford
and St. Petersburg, the St. John’s
and Lake Eustis and the Sanford and
Lake Eustis. Those to be included,
therefore, will be .the Savannah,
Florida and Western, as the corpo
ration of the consolidation, the
Charleston and Savannah, the Bruns
wick and Western, the Alabama
Midland, the St. Johns River Rail
Such is Editorial Eire.
A newspaper man was asked to
publish an article roasting a citizen.
“Certainly,” he said to the caller,
“what shall I write?” He was fur
nished with an outline of what was
wanted, and wrote an article that
was a scorcher.
“That’s splendid,” excliamed the
man, delightedly when the article
was read to him. “That is right;
that’ll make his old hair crinkle.”
“All right,” said the editor; “let me
see, what are your initials?” “Good
heavens,” said the citizen, “you are
not going to sign my name to that?”
“Why not,?” asked the editor. I
wouldn’t have anyone know I had
anything to do with that for the
world; I can’t afford to get into a
row with my neighbors.” The edi
tor smiled benevolently and said:
“Why should I get mixed up in a
scrap that does not concern me?
Why should you expect me to as
sume the blame of publication of
such an article to which you are
afraid to sign your name?” The
man stopped his paper and went
away mad. And such is life—in the
editorial chain.
