“Reform” First.
Hundreds of women have married
drunkards with the idea that they
could Lelp th°m teform. l).;e plan
does not succeed once in a hundred
times.
It the man has the moral s.rength
to re orm he can do it before mar.
na - e > instead of running the risk of
dragging a woman down to want
and misery.
T he man who says to a girl,
“Alarry me, and I atn pure with
your heir* I can reform,” is a cow
an!
He has no right to shift t he re
sponsibility ot his reformat on to
other shoulders.
Tha* is a bnrden and a light that
he must carry alone. Through his
own moral stamina and strength of
will he must win the battle.
When a girl finds that the man
whom she ha< grown to love is ad
dicted to drink, she can help him
with [love and sympathy, but she
commits ;i grave error it she marries
him un <-ss hie reformation is corns
plete. She has no right to marry
and bring children into the world
ha> dicap,.ed by the nurse ot a drun
ken father.
Where the head ot the heme is a
drunkard there is squalor,want, mis.
ery. The wife and children are
neglected and wretehed.
Mrs. John W. K‘*rn, wife of the
Democratic candidate for the vice
presidency, declared the other day
in an Interview that she i* in fa
vor of the suppression of the army
canteen. She believes in prohi
bition, and declares that she does
not intend to have any wine on
the table or cocktails on the ato *-
board jn the Kern household
“whatever happens.’
Drainage and Health
/
Are questions which convict labor
could be most advantageonsly put
to practical use.
One of the most important local
questions before this section of
country is the proper drainage of
the stagnant ponds and swamps ot
South and Southwestern Georgia—
breeding places of the malarial and
of even the yellow fever, mosquitoes
and contamination of *he drinking
water, and also in that way propa
gating malarial and other malignant
fevers. With these places properly
and thoroughly drained tens of
thousands of acres of the most fer.
tile lands could bo made arable, and
tillable and remove the most permars,
eat cause of sickness in these loealiv
ties.
In limestone forms tions, this
could be done by (sinking big wells
*o “hand pan” but where limestone
forma' tuns do not un lerlay ditches
ooulu be digged instead. This done
and lands contiguous to these locali
ties wouid enhance a hundred told
ami make room for thousands of
tew ci*ir.onry—to at healthy a sec
tion as the world can sf o w.

Crude Turpentine Market
Bainbridge now has a market lor Crude Turpentine that
will be interesting to every one making the product for mar
ket. Seeing that a market for this enterprise was necessary
in South Georgia, I have opened a Crude market at Bainbridge,
Ga., by reason of its many advantages as a shipping point, i
propose to buy crude turpentine anywhere on the G F & A.
or the Coast Line railways, within 50 miles of Bainbridge
Besides, it can be shipped here from either one of the rivers »
small cost. I intend that teis market shall be second to noi
or Crude Turpentine. Wilmington. N. C.. has had the rep»
ation of being the best Crude Market in the world. It is tl
Idest but no betterthan Bainbridge. I quote virgin gum tt
ay at $5.00; old dip, $4.5o, for 280 pounds. For furtht
nformation write me at Bainbridge.
