An agricultural college in each coo
greuionai;disirict{of Georgia is a prop*
sition'tbat has'many arguments to top-
pyrtit. The Camilla Enterprise has a
strong editorin', on tills i object. It per
tinently says:
' Georgia is a great state and b'-r soil
and climatic conditions are as vsri
were the colors of the famous “Joseph’s
Cost.” Whet would snit the soil and
climate of Be bun county would in tu-
wise answer for Mitchell or any other
Southwest 1 Georgia county, ueitner
would the tiling^that would be < f ma
terial benefit to Dade county be north
a oent to Camden or Glynn,’
The idea has frequently been'adrano-
ed before,pint has never been pushed
either from lack of interest or organiza
tion This is something for which Thomas
county’s representatives in the general
assembly might well exert thou,selves.
There is plenty of land in the uounty,
land of the best quality, land rliai will

cane, and in fact every crop that grows

owns the Fruth Georgia college, a

The iutiitation would not Interfere iu
any way with the SDOCrsa of the State
Agricultural College at Athens. It
would be a valuable auxiliary to that
institution and would send np many
students who wonld wish to carry their
studies farther than the district cnrric-
atom offered.
The Enterprise sobes the question of
funds this way:
'■Then are eleven congressional dis
tricts, let each congressman see to it
that die law governing the apptopria
tion from the agricultural department
changed so far aa Georgia is concern
•0 that the 180,000 now received by

it the attractive heading cf an article in
Sunday's Atlanta Journal by Rev. Alex
W. Beeler." If the pugilistic preacher is
psrsiugwesre very glad. People are
too sensible and too well educated now-
sdavs to be frightened or bnilied into
the Kingdom of Heaven. The religion
baaed on fear is bnt a poor thing. The
goapel of love and sunshine is better.
Mr. Bealersaysof him. "The pngi
listie preacher attracts great erbwda and
yon know that isoonnred as a success by
many people. It is a necessary adjunct
to a revival to have a crowd of people,
bnt the ones that gather to bear the pu-
giliatic preacher are made np of tin-
same clasa who wonld rnn aronnd the
block to see a dog fight, to lee a bull
fight or to see a slagging match be
tween two "guttersnipes.” He knows
his crowds and Ills remarks are too of
ten well sprinkled with the vernacolai
of tlw groggery or of the street t orner,
language that would butter be under
stool in a ten-cent dive than iu a parlor
in which ladies and gent'etren nregsili
eren together."
The after effects of a lu-etiug led by
the pugilistic preacher are l ad. A re
action is sore to take place, and people
who have been ku-cked into the cl nrch
are sore to drift tut again alien tl,t-y

ThomasTllle has had experiences will-
preachers of this kind and waa never
becefitted thereby. Wo are glad to
echo Mr Beeler's words about Dr.
John E. White, who follows a different
plan.
"Slues I have heard his teoder appeals

way with the people of the town of
Thomaeville. He hie made a deep im
pression and one that is lasting npon our
people and it is dne to the fact that he
is a messenger, and not a mountebank
spirit-filled servant of God and not a
pugi'btie preacher. H* is t he represen

MUNICIPAL DEBT.
Perhaps the most important case de-
cidtdjby the Supreme Court recectlj
was to the effect that under the con
stitution of Georgia a^mnnicipality can
not ifsne bonds for the purpose of tak
ing up a floating debt.
The Major Jand Council of Macou
called an election for Dec. J3, 1004. to
deride on thegqaeeticn of issuing $175.
000 of bonds to take up Macon’s floating
debt. Ben L. Jones, a citizen, stopped
the election brfan injunction, and the
Supreme Court sustains Jndge Felton iu
granting the rectraining order. It is
held that a rote to issue bonds carries
with it the sanction of the debt winch
is created by the bond issne.
The taxpayers of Macon hare never
had opportunity to pass on the floating
debt, which has been accamuUting for
several years. There is an intimation
in the Supreme Court’s decision to the
effect that the only way by which
Macon can get money to pay off this
debt is by levying taxes for that pur
pose.
The decision is of loc«J interest owing
ro the plans for incurring debt for an
electric light plant, and there has t.esn
uiudi talk about debts, how to make
them, how to pay them, and the like
The decision has uo direct bearing on

WeaK
Stomach.
A weak stomach is most fre
quently caused by the over
worked and exhausted nervous
system.
The power that runs the
stomach is the nerve force sent
to it from the brain through
the nerves. When the nerves
are weak or exhausted the sup
ply/of energy is insufficient
and the action of the stomach
is impaired, and results in im
perfect digestion—dyspepsia.
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nerv
ine increases nerve force. It
strengthens and builds up nerve
tissue, gives vigor to the nerves
and muscles of the stomach;
this produces a healthy activity.
Nervine allays the inflamma
tion, heals the membranes, apd
makes the stomach strong and
healthy. There is nothing that
so quickly gives energy to the /
whole system as Restorative J i--
Nervine. f
