One never knows how pleasant tho atern straight path ot duty may become until ho enters upon It. The primary reward la the satisfied com sclousnesa that he has done his very best. The approval ot conscience stands first and close behind it comc3 the approval ot ones fellow man. The officers ot the town and county who are pushing the blind tiger crm aide are. finding this out. • A promi nent citizen who bad always been prohibition leader bad made no s» cret of the fact that he Intended to vote a wet ticket if he ever bad an other opportunity. He only voiced hat many others thought, that the open and legal sale was preferable to the Illegal and dangerous blind tiger. The other day this citizen told the officers • that their vigor In the crusade had caused him tt^ change his mind and that he was dry again. This must have been very cheering news to them and a compensation for any unpleasantness that they might have encountered In the performance of thel/ 1 duty. * f As they go ahead, and they are go ing ahead, they have scarcely begun yet, they will find thkt their task grows harder. As they'arrest and punish people that stand higher In. the scale, of Influence and society, they will find that" the unpleasantness from their enemies Increases, blit so will the approval ot the right- minded people. THANKFUL OF COURSE. A GREAT DENOMINATION. The eyes of the state are on Vlacpn this week, where the Baptists bf Georgia are holding their annual convention. This ( denomination IS a distinct factor In the religious life of the community. Ita numbers are large and the active virile piety of Its members make It a great force for good. The Georgia Baptist convention was organized In 1822 by Rev. Jesse Mercer, who held the presidency for nineteen years and after whom Mer cer University la ham^d. The denom ination has grown from a pioneer church, winning Ita way along the margins of the wilderness to the dominant religious organization of Georgia, with 210,886 members and 2,098 churches, and an Imposing In crease still to be reported at the pres ent convention. The convention now Includes 88 associations. The property valua tion of the church in Georgia Is $2,- 198,990 and the contributions to all purposes were In 1904 9562,898.81 A much larger sum will, be reported as witness to the work ot, 1905 and the baptisms 13,057, reported as the annual extension to the Columbus convention last year, will this year be shown to ba far surpassed.

If every child was educated to .let the stuff alone and no one drank whisk ey we would not be bothered with blind tigers, saloons or dispensaries. Mayor Roddenbcry"Is the man be hind the nerve all right all right, all light He said he was going after the'blind tiger and he did it The good people and the right sentiment «f the comunity are behind the man tabled the nerve. Aa encouraging sign of the time* is the meeting ot a number ot the leading denominations In New X°rk and the formation of a Christian Fed eration now In progress. The Idea ot aeota to wall and good bat there tshoulfi be no enmity between those ■working for the same end. Surely, this year above all others the, people of the state and especially of South Georgia have overy reason to be thankful. For health and hap piness, for peace and plenty, for pro gress and prosperity, they return to the Giver of all good fervent and sincere gratitude. Every class of citizens engaged in any honorable or useful occupation baa shared In the bappy condition ot the people. The material' blessings have been such that the professional pessimist, who continually croaks gloomy warnings of future woe, has been silenced. Over and above the mere blessings in the shape of wolrdly goods comes the blessings of knowing how to use these goods. ' From every part of our great state comes evidence that the people do know how to use this pros perity. They have first, provided, and rightly so, for their own wants. They have then shared their good fortune with tbose less fortunate and contributed to the work of Him to whom.they are Indebted for It all. Never before have schools been so well provided for. Never before has church work prospered aa It has done during the past year. Never before has giving to charitable and and religions work been so unstinted and generous. The biggest thing we bare to be thankful for to that our people know'how to aland prosperity and how to share It. Going down a little deeper we find attendant canse for thanksgiving In what might be called the awakening of the national conscience. There to a new and altdgether creditable grav ity of thought and alertness of Inter est In the more serious things oMlfe. Thpre seemed to be for a time grave danger that this nation might go money mad and In Ita race for coin forget the ancient and better Ideals that made us what we are. Bnt the events of the time have caused people to stop and think. The red page of horror In autocratic Russia, the bog of corruption In politics, the mess of graft in finance and Insurance, have caused an awakening. People are stopping to ask what these ihlngs mean and why they came about. They are getting straight In their own iqjhds. what' Is worth while and what Is not. They are digging up fundamental princi ples and rules of right living from under the rubbish of careless years. All of these things have entered Into the life of onr town to a great er or less degree. Here as In other communities the events of the great er world are reproduced In miniature Thomasvlllc teems to be waking up. There, have been no grave evils In the quiet life ot our city. There baa been carelessness and some gross neglect. There will be no longer. So let us all be deeply and truly thankful. For life to very good these autumn days In Thomasvllle. Hater lal wants, spiritual needs are both provided for. So all together, give thanks. We have the advantage of those Atlanta editors In one respect- are not running for office. > An aggrieved minister calls Bishop Duncan an "Autocrat!* and Irritable Imbecile.’’ It might be well tor the gubernatorial candidates to remem ber this phrase.

Morgues and Gau tier by name, who discovered a way to separate the medicinal curative elements, of which there are about fifty different kinds In cod’s liver from the oil, and give to modern med Iclne all the tonic, body building and curative properties of that grand old remedy cod liver oil, unencumbered by the oily, greasy part, which sci ence had proved of no value what ever either as a food or medicine. Thus they produced Vlnol. Vlnol Is guaranteed to contain in a highly concentarted form all the medicinal elements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods' liv ers, and wherever old fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions will do no good, Vlnol will do far more good— for being without oil, It Is delicious to tbe taste, easily assimilated and won’t upset the weakest stomach. Vlnol tones up the digestive or gans, creates a bearty appetite,makes rich red blood and creates strength for old people, weak women, puny children and after sickness and for all pulmonary troubles It has no equal. So strong Is our faith In Vlnol that we freely offer to return money In every case where It falls to give sat isfaction. R. Thomas, Jfr.
