The Macon News denies that mar ried men live longer than bachelors, admitting that It just seems longer. The railroads admit that they are the goat of the parcel post system. If «o they wont stay in that position long. Thoftw skirts are not so bad until your wife or sister or daughter comes up town with one on. Then the deluge. It doesn’t appear to lesson the candidates because Georgia houses her Governors in a junk heap on Peachtree street. We love sweets better than any 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 ciated as the earning capacity of the father has been Impaired for some time to come. Besides tue amount sent from Ocb- loeknee, by individuals, the good people of that town, hearing of their need, at this time, yesterday die down and evaporate, now’ that the season has passed, or practically so, and the matter of winner is settled. If this does happen, there will be I no unpleasantness to mar the pleas ure we have had and all will b< ready to enter into the contest next year with the proper zest and en thusiasm. If this bitterness is con tinued. there will be no hope for harmony next year. Let’s all forget for we all have something to for give. • AME CHART FOR THE GEORGIA Hl’XTER. cuts.

Morrell, of Minneapo lis. according to the New York Sun, "shows a cracked brain and empty heart.” You’re dead wrong, parson. We can prove by the talented and frisky edi tor of the esteemed Thomas ville Times-Enterprise, and by 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. —Albany Herald. Oh, wonderful things. Yes, quite interesting. But why should the Herald draw the edi- or of the Observer on the wit ness stand, knowing that he Is a married man and dasn’t?— Moultrie Observer. 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 of «:s wearing the intimidating, restraining yoke which the edi tor of the Observer reminds us he is wearing, dare not tell all we krow. Seeing that our Moul trie witness is embarrassed, he may "come down.”—Albany way appeased for losing the pennant.

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.

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.

It cost $35. a thousand to collect the customs receipts, which will not ag gregate as much as the internal re venue taxes. dertaker or undertaker’s assistant, is accused of getting the coffin out of the freight depot under false pre tenses and collecting $4 6 for it.
