BRYAN AND THE TARIFF.
As The Banner has pointed out ilme
and again, the democratic party can
no better than go to ih; .ountV
next year on the tariff re?->. n issue-
Ihis is lac issue above all oners that

it strikes at the root of all evils
in the economics of the count-v.
There is some opposition 'o Mr.
Brvan here and there throughout I he
country, and lately it li^s cropped out
in Alabama. If it he analyzed, it will
lie found to emanate chiefly from re
presentatives of the protected indus
tries.

on that issue we elected ill lSSi and

president chosen since ISM. There
is, in my judgment.greater and more
inn tndiate in ed for tariff revision

■erteil and united effort to relieve

Savannah is talking about enacting
a city ordinance prohibiting the keep
ing of intoxicating liquors within the
city limits for rite purpose of illegal
sale. The Savannah News thinks the
city would get plenty of income
through the adoption of this ordinance
as it is foregone conclusion that
liquors will be brought into that cit.-
for these Illegal purposes.
Athens has reason for congratula
tion on tho decision of the Atlanta

this city. Now if tho people would
bestir themselves and get the Savan

would have much more cause for con
gratulation. If this latter road is to
be secured the work will have to be
done spedily.

large part of our uukindness is
sheer thoughtlessness. Few people
mean to be unkind. In fact, most peo
ple are kindly disposed toward others,
and would be glad to help them; but
they simply do net think. They are
so intent upon their own affairs, their
minds are so focused upon themselves
that all thoughts of others or their
needs are crowded out.
There is no other tiling which will
give greater satisfaction than the
forming of a kindly habit, the habit
of holding a kindly spirit toward ev
erybody. and of cheering and encour-
ing others.
If we iM-rsist in tills habit it will
drive out all petty little jealousies,
all moroseness and gloom, envy and

UNHAPPILY MARRIED.
Williams James, the famous psycho!
ogist of Harvard, said at a dinner in
Boston:
"An odor often recalls to us a
childhood scene. A voice brings har t
memories that we had thought buried
forever. As we regard some strung"
landscape, it often seems to us that,
we have been just here before. The
oddest, the most momentious associa
tions oftentimes attach themselves to
the most trifling tilings.
"Thus, at a Thanksgiving dinner
that I once attended, the hostess sai l
to a sour-faced man on my left:
“ 'May I help you to some of the
boiled rice. Mr. Smith?'
‘"Rice? No, thank you: no rice for
me,’ Smith answered vehemently, it
is associated with the worst mistake
of my life.' ’
