A |cohol and the Con
sumptive.

. ,, m ade the statement that al,
(0
fo! ja- justly attained n high
„ h a food material tor persr ns
piae*a
(ul ,| H l with tdberculonis. Shortly
^rward, Dr. Knapt, th-r New
y, r i£ t uhereulost# expert, ve eraenf
. 'protested against “the harm that
. j oE ,. i, v nuch announcement in
tie pul lie presB.’’ Dr. Knapt him.
1{ regarding the nse ot alco-
, llV tubercular patients “Extens
• V r .-xperience in t'.e treatment ot
tuberculosis has taught me that al*
( .,kol can nevei be considered a
^ ( t ,r i he consumptive. There
it so little tood value in alcohol,'
»,,4 it is so easy to over step the
amount that can be assimilated bv ;
(be system, iu which case the elete*;
rfou*effc#tsf«r exceed the benefit I
drived, that it ia not 'safe to reedea- '
aend it as a food at all. To preach
tb»t alcohol is a tood in tnbercalasia
ii to my miud an error so grave, ao
iarHilly dangerous, that I repeat
that l canaot let it pass withoat the
itroagest possible proteat.” In
the anti- tuborcoleaia campaign
Dr. Knapt takes pains teach
tbr people that aloohol is not a food
lor couauinptiveSi and is m bo sease^
i care tor consumption.
It is such statements aa thia at*
tributed to Dr. Wiley—made, per*
iwpi, with good intent, that the
liquor interests are glad to appropri*
ite and make the most ot in the ja T
lerest of a propaganda in fiavor of
increased consumption of spirits.
We believe tha», Dr. Knapt, with
hm daily contact with scores p .r ;
baps ol the city’s consumptive poor,
u in a better position to speak with
authority on this subject tnaa is
Dr. Wiley in his laboratory.
Theoreii.ally, alcohol may be a
tood; in practise, it proves to be
one ot exceedingly doubltul utility,
with the capacity for harm far out
weighing any good that it niay do -

Alcohol and Crime.
Dr. Otto lulK Usb^rger, writing
in a Berlin paper, the Hil e, states
this belief as a result ot caretul
study of statistics, that the maiD
source of crime is to be found in the
excessive nse of alcohol.
This is in line with th° observa -
tion of Sir Richard Temple, (who
stated that ii the soldiers stationed
in India could stop drinking, they
uould be practically free from
crime) and others. It was Liszt,
the criminologist who said, “Our
penalties do not improve nor
frighten criminal*; they do not at
all prevent crime, but work the
other way, strengthening it.” This
leads Juliousberger to advocate an
educational .-Tusade agaiast the
evil. He says that one ct the chief
prejudices in tavor of* alcoholic
di inks is in the belief ia their value
for nourishment and strength. The
mom eat these idols fall to the
ground, the diffusion of crime will
ceaee. He urges the teaching ot
the effects of aloohol in the public
schools, and believes that a similar
line of instruction should be carried
Ob in the pear entiaries, teaching
the victims that aloohol is their do*
stroyor. Yes, possibly something
may be accomplished by suoh in
structions in the penitentiaries, but
it is rather late to be of much use
to rained and hardened characters.
Much more benefit should accrue
as the result of a vigoroas educa*
tional campaign ?n the schools.
But why ^should the government
be so inconsistent as to prescribe
the teaching of temperance in the
schools, and then license min to
open drink shops convenient to t&e
pupilt?
Many towns and counties, and a
few states, are seeing the inconsis.
tency, and are proceeding to do the
only logical thing—abolish the li
cense. W. C. T. U.
Labor Day.
Monday last was Labor Day—a
day legally set aside and celebrated
by twenty seven states.
It is observed in honor of fhs
toilers and is devoted especially to
those who produce wealth with their
hands and earn their living by the
sweat ol their faces. They carry,
the civilized world upon their
shoulders, and constitute the hone
»nd sinew ot every free country of
the earth, and trom their ranks are
drawn the brains that keep our"
beleved country tree. They toter*
erate political abases to a great ex
tent, but when once their patieace
has boen exhausted, th. y brush
•snip these burdens and reestablish
their GocUgiven rights.
The working men are the rulors,
because they are in the majority,
ind the country is fastly becoming
*>ore strongly organized, and they
have limitless power when directed

Labor .)ay has become oae of the
®*st important holidays iu the
calendar, it being inaugurated only
1 !«w years back.
$6 Per Thousand
Is tive tax rate fixed by the
Loun y Commissioners, for eoHnty
purposes, at Monday’s regular

^ State 1 * rate of $5 makes the
y^r's tax toll $11 per thousand
lor general purpose—exclusive of

be^u adopted—an increase of $1
ov er the rate of last year for the
**.>anty.
^ e are not authoritatively ad»
v ised as to the reason of the in*
er ea«ed rate, but apprehend that it
u partially due to the decrease of

Why James Lee Got Well.
Everybody in Zanesville, O.,
knows Mis. Mary Lee, of rural
route 8. She writes: “My hus
band, James Lee, firmly believes
he owes has life to Me use of Dr.
King’s N*w Discovery. His lungs
were so severely affected that con
sumption seemed inevitable, when
a friend recommended New Dis
covery. We tried it, and its use
has restored him to perfect health.”
Dr. King’s New Discovery is the
king of throat and iung remedies.

equal. The first dose gives relief

A Coon Chase.
Deputy Sheriff Dean had a lively
•hase after a coon one day last
week, a mile irom town np the Al*
bany road.
He had a warrant for the coon
aforesaid charging him with net
and on seeing the deputy took leg
bail with Dean in his wake. After
running some distance (half a mile
Dean declares) he drew nearer the
coon and yelled to him that if he
didn’t stop he’d shoot to hurt and
threw his pistol in position, when
the fugitive threw up his hands and
“caved.” The deputy at first fired
his pistol in the air to frighten and
stop the coon. It worked like a
charm; it frightened but didn’t stop
him; for you know a scared coon’s
legs don’t know anything but to
run when scared, and »he fugitive
couldn’t make his legs listen to
reason till they had carried him a
half mile.
Bob landed him in jail all right.
Restocking With Deer
Mr; IL J. Bruton has been pre*
seated with thr^e deer, a buck and
two does, aged about 4 months,
from Louisiana, bv Mr. Wiston
Powell, who is engaged in the naval
stores business west ol New Orleans
in a section where deer abound, and
where he captured these without
injury, and which Mr. Brnton will
place in his wire fence pasture ot
several thousand acres with his herd
of Hereford cattle and Berkshire
hogs for propagation of their kind.
This section has been abont dev
nuded of deer, and we hope Mr.
Bruton’s efforts will be seconded by
every one to replenish our woods
with these beautiful and Innocent
animals.
A Paying Investment.
Mr. John White, of 38 Highland
Ave., Houlton, Maine, says:
“Have Deen trouoled with a cough
every winter and spring. Last
winter 1 tried many advertised
remedies, but the cough continued
until I bought a 50c bottle of Dr.
King’s New Discovery; before
that was baif gone, the |cougk was
ad gone. This winter the tame
happy result has followed; a few
doses ence more banished the an
nual cough. I am| new eonvieed
that Dt. King’a New Discovery is
the best of ail cough and lung rem

Crude Turpentine Market
Bainbridge now has a market tor 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 not
or Crude Turpentine. Wilmington. N. C.. has had the rept
ation of being the best Crude Market in the world. It is tb
ldest but no betterthan Bainbridge. I quote virgin gum tc
ay at $5.00; old dip, $4.5o, for 280 pounds. For furth*
nformation write me at Bainbridge.
