Tho Inoculation produced symptom* of the same nature In a young lady of forty-fivd. She spent flvo dollars at n drug store for cosmetics, bought a lot of new hair and a croquet set, Bang “Empty Is tho Cradle,”’ Bent out Invitations for a party and com plained that the young men do not go Into society. An Inoculated youth of seventeen, employed In a country store, did up a gallon of molasses In a paper bag, and also threw some fresh butter out of the window, while he put the cat In the tub. Fin ally, he sat In a basket of eggs while looking at the photograph of a pret ty girl and was discharged for his carelessness. The doctor Is still experimenting and will soon lay the result of his observations before the medical world. A GIIEAT WORK. The Methodist church In Georgia Is doing a great work. The church Is to be commended for its active and aggressive enthusiasm and for the results of this enthusiasm as shown in figures. In this day and time monetary measure IS the standard of the world. We cannot measure the Importance of the work of sav ing souls and the burdens that have been lightened by aid and advice. But we can gain some Idea of the great work of the church from the following figures: ' The conference has raised this year tor foreign missions, $34,133-- 21; domestic mlsldnB, $111,194.19; church extension, $5,157.SO; W. F. M. Society, $16,485.64; W. H. M. Society, $15,814.73; total' for mis sions, 83.084.18. How .many local preachers? 169.

There are 164 parsonages and 148 pastoral charges teir districts, with three dis trict parsonages. Received on pro fession of faith, 4,987. The following "sensible words are from tho Telfair Enterprise; “The secret of success for both couqtry and town Is for them to work togeth er, hand and hand, realising that the prosperity that comes to the one cannot possibly hurt the other, but on the other hand It will Inure to their mutual, benefit. | "The sooner this lesson Is learned, by the town and country people In any section tlm sooner will an era of prosperity and good feeling spring up that Inures the advancement of that section along all lines. We have In mind one town In this state where the people of the county In which \ It la located seem to feel a special pride In the furtherance of all pro-, Jects that tend to the advancement of the town and today It is one of the best small cities la the state. The harmony, that exists between city j and country is really an Inspiration to any one who will observe It and you cannot fail to observe It If you' go to,that county. ' A. "Of course the town must tote ^XMr. Artth the country and show to i Ik- backbone” of all prosperity that What they do is appreciated, and lend encouragement to them in every way possible* • STAND TO IT. TheTimes-Enterprlse hopes that delegatee from the Thomas county cotton growers association will all attend the state meeting In Atlanta. The work of the association so far has done wonders and has convinced the most skeptical of the virtue In the plan. Its future usefulness de pends upon the completeness nnd solidity of Its organisation. This Is an age of organisation. Ev ery branchof Industry and labor is organised, save the farmers. Now they have a chance to get together on, a business basts. The Farmers Alliance had a good start and gave promise of great usefulness. This usefulness evaporated when the Al liance got Into politics. Bo far the cotton association has stayed out of politics and we believe will continue |o do.BO. The benefits of organisation are so apparent as to need exposition. An example In our own county* is that of the Insurance association. The cotton movement la as Important to the pocketbooks of the farmers as anything that has come before them In recent years. We hope they will stand to and abide by the purposes of the association. Bishop buncan preached another sensational sermon Sunday. He ob ject* to preachers bestowing care on personal appearance and says too many of them carry brushes instead of Bibles in their gripe.

One of the party express ed 1:1s surprise at what he found In the following words: "With the South and with Georgia In particular, I am delighted; and I had as well confess; also surprised each one of us, s you know nat urally pictures In his mind before hand any place that he Is to visit. Well, I had pictured the South as a rather easy , going, self satisfied sec tion, dosing In Its bounty of warm sunshine. But, to my astonishment, I find the people fully as brisk and as alert to evory business Interest as the most hustling cities of the west You are taking advantage down here of all the rich opportunities which a fertile soil and a benign climate has blessed you with. "And this other fact Is particular ly conspicuous," continued Mr. Vick ers: this Is a country of young men. Why, in evey city we have visited It has been the young men who hare met us and shown interest in our movements. There are few gray heads In your banks and large estab lishments. The South doesn’t live any longer In the past. She is run ning over with energy, youth, and fresh ideas.” CONFIDENCE—No tear of mistakes— is what we'have built our trade upon.

The time has long since passed away when the name of "Jew" was regarded as a byword and a reproach. The good traits of these people -are many and marked, and the world Is coming to a realization of these traits. The Jews have played a larger part than most people are aware of, In the development of this country. Recently there was a cele bration of the 260th anniversary of the landing of the Jews In this coun try. The anniversary wax the cause of much good feeling and many pleas ant expressions. Men no less noted than President Roosevelt and ex- President Cleveland Joined In the felicitation!. From their words It becomes apparent that America is greatly Indebted to the Jews, even as the Jews are greatly Indebted to America. This country has always given them what many lands stllf withhold, the benefit of trie Institutions and equal treatment before the v law. From the earliest days they have re paid this by a splendid quality of ■jltlsenshtp. Even in the colonial per iod they aided In' the development of the country and of domestic and for eign commerce. In revolutionary days they served In the armies and with smoother sailing of the ship of state they have carried out In their cltlsenshlps the same qualities of usefulness and worth they have dis played In the family.

The senate convened with the usual formalities and after swear lng In the new members an adjourn ment was taken to‘respect to the memory of the late Senator Platt of Connecticut The greater Interest atsched to the house proceedings because a com plete organization was necessary, In cluding election of a speaker and other officers and the drawing of seata by the members. There have been many changes made Inside and out of the capltol since the last session. The Interior of the rotunda has' been scoured and burnished until nothing remains of the stains of age accumulating for the last fifty years: New carpets'are laid In the halls of both branches. By order of the last Congress no flowers are allowed in the Senate chamber and the rule had the effect of stopping the sending of such tes timonials to the house; consequently the prevailing custom, was notable today by Its absence.
