RELIGION AND EDUCATION. Unfortunately there seems to he a conflict between these two great forces, of latter day education and old time re ligion. Tills is not as it should be for there is no reason why the two should not work together in perfect harmony. The trouble is not with either educa tion or religion, but with those who in sist upon dealing with the less important things in each, and allowing the great fundamental truths to fall into the back ground. Of course education has done away with the idea of infidelity, and but few, if any, intelligent people deny the presence of a Supreme Being. There is, however, a Certain freedom and dar ing in modern education that tends toward liberalism. THOUGHT ROOSEVELT A NEGRO. A valued contributor handed us the following and vouches for its actual oc currence, says the Griffin News: Old Unde Jack came into my office with a broad smi! a iiirmiiwa.ting his dark face. He is a type of the dntebellum dkrkey and has long loved to visit me and discuss current events. .This time I saw something was ^muring him and so after greeting him cordially I waited for him to speak. “Pears lak ns niggers is on top now, Marse Robert,’* said Uncle ^ack. “How is that ?” said I encouragingly. “Hull, ain’t we got a nigger fer pres ident?” ;•*' „-~ I started to say ye£ but in the inter est of truth I had to reply “No, Mr. Roosevelt is as white as Iain.” “Aw go on! Marse Robert, you just foolin’ me. 1 heered dat he gin a recep tion to the niggers in Washnmton and led the old Virginny reel wid a cullud ’oman from Agnsty. Yon know dat if he’s doin’ dat way he ain’t no white man. I speck he's blaek as I is.” After a long,time I convinced Uncle Jack that he was mistaken and he went awayisorrowfol, saying as he closed the door: ' “I sho thought" President Gooeefelt was a nigger.” **uhl*OL every Satnrday by the imes.Eiterprise Publishing Co. At the Time-Enterprise Building. Thomasville, Ga. follows a cold, but never follows the use of Official Organ Thomas Counter The study of the human mind and its controlling forces is a fascinating one. There is great danger that a youthful person and one not ■extraordinarily well balanced, may be fascinated with ethicality and moral ity, and lose sight of the far more im portant idea of a personal God and a personal salvation.' In other words, he is prone to neglect the cultivation of the aool in the cultivation of the mind. On the dther hand, the adherents of religion far too often neglect the cultiva tion of the mind, under the mistaken idea that this shows sanctity^of the soul. They ding with tenacity to the worn ont fallacies of a by-gone day, and never admit that good people, even, may have been mistaken in their interpretation of the great problems of life here and here after. . What we need most of all is^fien who can reconcile the differences. Such men must have high courage, great abil- the old, as well as the new address should be given.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY? <Asks an exchange. Does it? Note this announcement of the Curtis Pub lishing Company, publishers of the La dies’ Home Journal: The Proctor & Gamble company, of Cincinnati!, have awarded a contract for a full page in each issue of the 'Ladies’ Home Journal for three years, with option of two ad ditional years, for the advertisement of Ivory soap. The pfioe agreed is the Journal’s full rate, $4,000 per page mak ing an expenditure of $48,000 per year, or $144,000 for three years absolutely contracted for, and 96,000 for the two optional years, representing a contract for §240,000. Occasionally we hear of a concern with a small local reputation say, “We don’t have to advertise. FOLEY’S HoijEY AND TAR is taken, as it soothes and heals the inflamed air pas sages and the cough disappears. Be sure and get FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR, as preparations cpntaining opiates stop the cough temporarily by paralyzing the nerves in the throat and leave the germs of serious lung trouble and you gel one cold on another because* the first one was ne* cured perfectly. V Saved Her Life From Pneumonia. . “My wife had a severe attack of Pneumonia which followed a severe attack of La Grippe and I believe' that FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR saved her life,” writes James Coffee, of Raymond, Missouri.

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. We purpose in short editorials, from time to time, to tell what American Democracy is, and to make the way clear, we will in this, briefly tell what American Democracy is not, says Dupont Gnerry. It is not sectional, or race, «r caste, partiality or prejudice. ' It is neither envy of the rich, nor con tempt of the poor. It is not favoritism, for either the masses or the cbaaes. It is not factitious, soeial or financial equality, or inequality. It is not the employment of the gov ernment for or against any particular interest or interests. it is not empire, at home or abroad. It ia not support of or opposition to government, regardless of whether the same he right or wrong. It is not a varying declaration oftqp- portune platitudes, designed for party success, and official spoils. It is not the sacrifice of the many far the few, or the few for the many. It is not the greatest good of the great est- number, but the greatest good of each and alL It is not the grant of any right to any body; it ia the people’s guaranty of every God-given right to every body.
