The generous hearts of the people
of Thomas county are shown almost
every day, and they are known, not
by what they would do, but what
they acually do. Many people have
been liberal and most kind in their
attentions to the Bodiford fami
ly, which was almost sundered by
the heavy hand of tragedy several
weeks ago. They are now' on the
way to recovery, and anything which
may bo sent them is greatly appre

“The split skirt,’’ says the
Rev. G. L. Morrell, of Minneapo

Sun, "shows a cracked brain and

wrong, parson. We can prove
by the talented and frisky edi
tor of the esteemed Thomas

the sedate and dignified editor
of the Moultrie Observer as well,
that those seen down here in
South Georgia show some
thing—or perhaps we should
say, things—entirely different.

Oh, wonderful things. Yes,

It was naturally presumed
that the editor of the Observer
would he a competent witness,
inasmuch as had evidently been
seeing some of the "wonder
ful things" revealed by the split
skirt. And as he had displayed
sufficient courage to write—in
a guarded way we admit—about
one of the beslitted apparitions
on the streets of Moultrie, it
was Inferred that he might pluck
up the courage to tell "the
iruth and the whole truth" on
the witness stand. But we all
have to be mighty careful when
it comes to telling about some
of the things we see these
days, and the bravest of those

Though tne American people
drank more wine and spirits, whis
key a'nd beer during the fiscal yea?
1913, than ever before in history*,
the number of purveyors of spirits
is falling ofT. There were fewer
rectifiers, fewer wholesalers, and
fewer retailers during business In
the United States last year than there
were in the fiscal year 1912.
The heaviest decrease was In re
tailers, saloon men, and others,
showing the effect of restrictive leg
islation, and the campaign of the
antis. There were 21,2S8 less re
tailers of 1 quors in the United
States last year than the year before,
but despite this decrease in the num
ber of places to buy drinks, there
were more drinks bought than ever
before.

W. AND A. ROAD PAYS WELL
Atlanta, Aug. 22.—When the spe
cial committee appointed by the
Legislature, meets to take up the
Western & Atlantic Railroad ques
tion, it will have some interesting
new figures before it.
Large gains over the year pre
vious are shown in the gross and net
earnings of the road. The gain in
gross earnings is over $270,000. The
gross earnings per mile of the Wes
tern & Atlantic are nearly three
times as much as the Southern, the
Central and -the Coast Line.
It is indicated by all the compara
tive figures that the state’s property
is growing yearly more valuable. All
these figures will be submitted In
detail to the joint committee, of
which Representative Barry Wright,
of Floyd is chairman.
This committee will report to the
next session of the Legislature.

by Commissioner of Internal Reve

Despite the increased revenue re
ceipts, the cost of collection made a
new low record. It cost j list $15.92
to collect each $1,000 of revenue. It
cost $35. a thousand to collect the
customs receipts, which will not ag
