Mr. Taft will not be /requested

Washington.
The Georgia and Texas cotton
growers keep throwing a brick now

Agriculture.
President Bdosevdt evidently
does not believe that a nation can
"appear stylish" /unless it has
its "navy” on straight.
We can see a fortune for a man

between St. Louis and Milwaukee,

The Georgia Legislsiture con*

Here’s hoping that the grand
old .county of Dooly will remain
undisturbed in the new /county
fight before the legislature.
There was a decided bullish ten*
deucy to the “mint market" in
Louisville during the visit of the
confederate veterans to that city.
Mr. Polk will be remembered
longest as the man who. lidded St.

days, and the lid seems permanent

There is no occasion for Russia
to despair yet. She should rem

to secure peace after the fighting
was over.
"Most men like women in plain

plea for economy than an exhibi

AND THE NEW COUNTY
What Strange Thing* De Happenl
According to the Vienna News,
Senator D. A. R. Cram will fight
the movement to create "Crisp 1
county with Cordele. ae the Capi
tal. Senator Cratniliveg at Cor
dele, too, which makeehii position
•lithe more unusual.—Thomaston
Times.
Me*, in some places it might
seem strange and unusual for
Senator to endeavor to represent
tbewiH of- the majority of the
peqple instead of that of a certain
locality, It ia quite a-eomptiment
to be paid a, representative who
does not use hie office- for selfish
purposes.
Who Would Pave Dammed It?
The Vienna News quotes Sena
tor-Cram, of Cordele, as, being
opposed to dividing Dooly county,
and yet the “Crum” qlaims Cor
dele as his home.—Worth County
Local, Sylvester,
Which shows very distinctly
that he is not of the narrow
brand-rbut is a representative of
the people.
The Equitable row is likened
with the Russo-Japanese war:
It is with us for some time to come.
Neither drinks or shaves are
obtainable in St. Louis on Sunday.
If Gov. Folk will listen to a com
promise, St. Louis would be wil-
Hng .to go without the "shaves."
That the Japs are not patterning
after us too closely, is shown by
the fact that there has as yet been
no claim that some admiral other
than Togo is entitled to the credit
for that naval victory.
"The time is ripe for the great
American play" says the New
York Dramatic Mirror! Yes, the
time iB ripe enough, but most of
the plays are either “green or
overripe.
‘Will to hands clitic to the tightened rein.
Slipping the spur from the booted heel,
Tendered voiced .cry ‘Tom again,*
Red lips tarnish the acrabkarded steel,
High hopes faint on m warm heartstone,
He travels the fasfcwt Who travels alone."
The Nebraska legislature pro
poses to allow a citizen to get
drunk three times a year. A law
making it compulsory for some
people to “get sober" throe times
a year would be more to the point.
A few more “resiitukious” like
that of Mr. Hyde, of the Equita
ble, by.his old "pals" will help
considerably ill placing this great
insurance institution upqu a
firmer foundation.
It warns that when it comes to
filtration, soma of those Philadel
phia politicians show themselves
to be men of sand. They are ab
solutely unfilterable.
The News is still in favor of
electing the railroad commission
ers by the people. It is the best
and only right way, and the pub
lic will uever get justice until it
is doue.
Carter Harrison has returned to
Chicago from his western trip and
started a oampaigu for the mayor
alty nomination in 10071 'He just

The industrial problem is main,

In Chicago it is mainly one of
good marksmanship and court in

The News has not as yet com
mitted itself upon the guberna
torial race since the retirement of
Hon. Pope Brown, of Pulaski.
Before the entry of Mr. Brown,
we were kindly disposed to Mr.
Howell. We have not as yet
consented to the trade of Mr.
Brown to Mr. Smith, if such it
can be colled.
The boodle indictments on the
Arkansas legislature are interest
ing only in showing that the Ar
kansas lawyers are now settling
their troubles in the .courts in
stead of with diriks and pistols.
A man in Lincoln, Neb., wants a
divorce asserting that he was in a
trance when he was married. Most
any one can get a divorce on that
ground, and the lady will have to
put him in another trance or
lose him. •

Hon. Henry Watterson says of
Emperor William and the Presi
dent that ‘‘either conld earn his
living iu case he lost his job."
He is right. William would make
a good wailor aft a' fair preacher,
and Mr. Roosevelt canid! write
history, punch cattle, command a
regiment or do anything else that
comes to bond.
The Atlanta News is determined
to sit astradlo on the fence as
long as it can in the gubernatorial
fight, but one of its legs is longer
“than it really ought to be,” and
is already sagging iu close proxim
ity to the ground.—Macon Tele

Possibly it is not satisfied as th
the “big side" yet.
Pulaski county will probably

A UPON WHAT' SHO ULD A CO l
BY HfcLLEN OLDFIELD, INAUQUSTA
E WEDA
ONICLE.
T here are few men, fewer wo
men, who do notateometime
during their lives entertain the
ideawf marriage; and no question
is more seriously considered or
more<freqttently asked than: Upon
how much, or how little, money
is it-oafe, not to say pendent, for
two/people to marry? (Like most
questions of deep impact, .it is one
which demands a different answer
iu every cose. "It depends,”
tew and women also/are of so
many minds, such varied temper
aments, with, such widely differ-
ing-atandarda and desires, that no
hardand fast rnles may be made
for any two, especially .not by
otbergnople' The manner of man,,
the manner of women; /training,
tomperenent, environmeuts, and,
above-all, character? haveeachund
all much to say in the p/remises.
And eioce the contract ia presum
ably made for life, it is the bound
ed duty of every, man and /woman
to think carefully again and again
before the or s^e assumes a burden
which -by every law of love and
honor-one must bear bravely and
well -or prove “niddering"—the
old Saxon term for craven .and
shrink.
In the first place, the question
involves both physical and mental
ability and endurance of body, of
heart, and of spirit; not only per
sonal but vicarious, which to the
best ODd uoblest is harder. “A
igfe and children are poverty’s
teeth pnd they bite hard,” says
Nictor Hugo. Neither can it be
otherwise than bitter for a loving
womaji to feel that perhaps her
husband migfit have climed higher
without the weight of herself.
“What is enough for one is not
enough for two; no arithnfbtical
formula has ever been discovered
by which the half may be made
to equal the whole. Yet it,is cer
tain that in some hands a single
dollar will accomplish more than
two iii others, nay, as much as ten,
some times, when strength, knowl
edge, and good will gq to the ef
fort. What it costs to live has
long been and must continue to
bo a vexed problem in political as
well as domestic economy. It is
not so much the love of. money as
the lack of it which isthe‘‘rootof
evil." ‘‘Be happy and you will be
virtuous," paraphrases Mark
Twain; be rich, while you may fall
short of goodness, you are scarcely
opt to be openly oriminal. Enough
is ah elastic tern, Omar Khayyam’s
'A book of Tone* underneath the booth.
A jot of flm>, B loaf of bread, and tbon
Bealde me, ainclat In the wildem.ee;
0, wilderness were paradise now"
can hardly be expected to suffice
•. gr- ►*ib in-
for any but intense lovers, who
are poets and philosophers as well.
Robert Grant demonstrated clearly
that life upon less than f10,000 a.
year is not life; merely existence;
an appalling demonstration, since
thereby but a few hundred thous
ands of the 80,000,000 people of
the United States can be said to
do more than exist. The balance
fall far, far below, since statistics
show that, counting in aU the
multi-millionaires, the average in
come of the addnlt citizen is
fraction less than $500 yearly.
Which sum, although it means
starvation to some, signifies to
many comfortable independence
. No girl who has not been brought
up in life of poverty, who cannot
exercise practical economy, and,
moreover, "do without” cheerful
ly, is fit to be wife to a poor man,
while even such a one is wise to
bear ia mind that it requires much
less courage and strength of pur
pose to. marry poverty than pa-
tientl and cheerfully accept the
consequences of the act.
Theoretically, no two people
have the right to many upon ab
solutely nothiug a year. The fact
that it bos been done successfully
in nowise conttoreijs this state
ment. Men have leaped from
preoipces and lived, bnt inch
eapee dote not insure the lives pf
their imitators. There ought to
bean income, or at lest, an assured
salary, sufficient to keep a roof
over the heads of the dbuple, buy
bread and batter, adequate cloth
ing, and the -rest of the actual
necessaries of life, even though
the lovers are, or suppose them
selves to be, willing to dispense
with luxuries. Here, again, arises
another diffioWKy: How shall one
fix the boundary between necessa
ries and luxuries? Not to mention
the fact that to some luxuries are
more vital than necessaries.
"Enough" is an elastic quantity.
To one woman it means a> five
room flat simply fnrnished, where
she works willingly with her hands
to-another woman a town house,
a country house, carriages and
servants, gowns from Paris and
London, jewels, laces, and all the
frills of fashion; and who shall
say that the woman in the back,
street is not happier than she who
dwells upon the boulevard? We
have all been told,perhaps known,
bow cohtent will torn her back on
a palace to abide ia a shanty:
“um that no golden tlennan attach,
Bnt,wlll fly away (ram an-emperor'a match
To dance at a penny wadding."
A safe rule always os to count
the cost before any and every
undertaking.. The two who marry,
expecting to face poverty toge
ther, should be absolutely sure of
themselves, reasonably so of one
another. When they take their
way into the wilderness, band in
hand, there must be no repining,
no regretful longings for the flesh-
pots and leeks; they must have
strength and courage for the jour
ney across the desert. The germ
of success, of failure, is > within
themselves; as already said it de
pends on the two who are made
one.
It- is sometimes safer to marry
a poor man than a rich one. A
multi-millionaire, who has made
his mark in other lines than that
of money making, tells how his
father aud mother-in-law had
grave doubts as to his ability to'
support a wife, and gave reluctant
consent to his marriage. Per
contra, many of us will recall a
brilliant marriage in an eastern
city a few years ago, where youth
and beauty uud wealth were uni
ted with great rejoicing; but when
the wooden anniversary came
round.the millions were dissipated
and a miserable and injured
woman was suing for divorce.
"One cannot most always tell.”
There are many fortunate matri
monial ventures from which mon
ey, and calculations as to money,
are wholly absent; but they re
quire the preaeuce of an unusual
amount of common sense, judg
ment, and good humor on both
sides to make them so. Woman,
under any and all circumstances,
take heavier risks than men do
when they marry. However muoh
iii love they may be, however ad
mirable the man of their choice,
when they marry poverty, the
prospeet immediately ahead of
them ia one of petty cares, of
contracted, often unpleasant sur
roundings, of isolation from gen
eral society! in short, of continual
self-sacrifice, which if not gladly
made, cannot fail to be wearing,
perhaps unendnrable. Personal
inclination and tastes must always
be subordinated to insure happi
ness in marriage under any cir
cumstances; when one is poor
they must be forgotten in the in
cessant demands of dnty and hard
tasks must be performed cheer
fully, without expectation of
thanks or appreciation. Neither
can it be denied that a poor man
feels his position as lord of crea
tion qnite as much as a wealthy
one, and is less likely to have ac
quired early habits of considera
tion, deference, and care for wo
men. It is scarcely fair to expect
him to realize or appreciate the
sacrifice.of habits and tastes w
he has never known.
Yet all most admit that those
who win are usually those- who
take risks; nonetheless every wo
man should remember that in thif
world, at least, she has but one
life.
