THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
ittle Luella Astonishes Her Puzzled
Parents.
“I've been thinking nil day about
a problem a man gave me this morn
ing,” said Mr. Jnwbor ns he and Mrs.
Jnwbor moved up to tho centre-table
preparatory to an evening of reading,
interspersed with debate. “It was
one of those things that seem easy
enough, hut you can’t tell where to
begin to work 11.”
"What was It?” asked Airs.
Jawber.
It’s this way: A man goes ink
a place and says to tho store-keeper,
1 have a certain sum of money, less
than $ll*. Now if you will lend mo
ns much money as l have I will
spend $10 with you.’ The store
keeper agreed and gave the money.
After spending tho $10 he had some
money left, so he wont to a second
store and made the same proposition,
and it was accepted. Then lie went
In a third store and carried out the
same transaction, after which all his
money was gone, llow much did lie
have in the first place?”
"Morey me!” said Mrs. .lowlier:
“I don't see how anyone could find
out except by taking the money and
going round with it from one place
to another.”
“But how would you know the
amount needed?” naked he triumph
antly.
“I never thought of that,” she ad
mitted, somewhat crestfallen.
“You say he went to throe
places?” broke in Lunllu, who natur
ally would liii'-c been overlooked had
she not spoken, as she was In the
low chair beside the table and was
busy with books and slate.
“Keecp to your studios,daughter,”
said Mr. .Iawlier. "This doesn’t in
terest little girls.”
The ton-year old bent over hoi
slute once more and Mr. Jawber sale
thoughtfully, "I think the only waj
to find out is to take different sumt
and calculate them through to set
how they eomo out.”
"Why, that’s easy,” exclaimed
Luella, again looking up from hci
work.
"Daughter, do not interrupt,” said
Mrs. Jawber, who had been doubt'
fully setting down figures with a
lend pencil and then marking them
out.
"It was $8.75 ho had,” persisted
I lie child. "Don’t you see, ho bor
rowed another $8.75,making II $17.50.
When lie spent $U> ho went to an
other place with $7.50 and borrowed
(lint much more, of course then lie
had $15, so that when lie spent $10
he had only $5 and after borrowing
unother $5 nnd spending $i0 he hud
no money.”
“Um-m-ni,” said Mr. Jawber.
“How did you get it?”
“By algebra.”
"Ah, yes, algebra,” ho murmured,
ns In- gazed blankly at tho x ami y
marks on her slate.
“We do liurder ones llinn that
every day,” said Luella.
Mr. and Mrs. Jawber each picked
up a hook, but not to read. They
were hiding from each other the
humiliation of being tossed Into the
air by their ungrateful offspring.—<

Economy in Pure Food.
There are many persons who, froir
a misguided sense of economy, pur
chase food which thoy know to be in
ferior, so that t hey may thereby save
in order to meet other demands of the
family. Handsome clothing and fine
houses in aristocratic neighborhoods
are desirable, we admit; but not at
the expense of the most important,
factor of our existence: especially
when we know that pure, nourisha-
blc food is the immediate cause of
pure blood, and, consequently, more
perfect nerve nnd brain power. It, is
not only false economy but positive
crime to obtain edibles below tin
standard for the use of sustaining
both Hie mental and physical healtl
of any human being.—[Baltimore

President Waddell's Stirring Ad
dress -Gov. Nortlien Speaks.
The aemi-nnnunl convention of tho
Georgia State Agricultural Society met
iu the court-house at Carrollton Wed
nesday morning. On account of free
paascB by the railroads nu unusually
'nrge number of delegates was present,
l'ho convention was opened with prayer
by Rev. W. A. Williams, of Carroll
ton.
Mayor G. II. West, in a very ap
propriate address, welcomed the dele
gates to the best of everything tho
plncc afforded. Hon. W. F. Brown,
on the part of tho Carroll County Ag
ricultural Club, also welcomed the
delegates to Carrollton. Hon. J. S.
Cobb also welcomed the convention in
behalf of the people of Carroll ill an
eloquent speech, in which there were
many humorous references.
Dr. E. D. Newton, of Athens, was
called upon to respond to these wel
come words on tho part of tho Booiety,
nnd he made a very appropriate speech.
Tho roll of delegates wiih called, and
then President Waddell delivered his
semi-aunaal address.
THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
President Waddell congratulated the
members that through the liberality of
the railroads a full delegation was
present. Tho roads had boon actuated
by a desire to perpetuate and encour
age an association which lias for nearly
half a century boon an active though
modest factor iu tho development of
the state.
“Tho managers of tho railroads,"
said he, “considered your conservatism
nnd your sense of justice on all ques
tions involving tlm rights and prop
erty of others whether private or cor
porate.
“They know your record of oppos
ing unjust legislation which would
throttle or cripple legitimate " enter-
prisa. Your past history gives ns.nir-
nneo of your respect for ami obedience
to law, nnd that anarchy urn! violence
anil lawlessness will never 11 ml adher
ents among tho farmers of Georgia.
These reasons have actuated (ho man
agers of our railroads, and in my pinen
I make public sincero acknowledge
ments for tho courtesy."
"My observations in tho past few
years," said he, “forces on mo tho
conviction that wo will never achiovo
success or independence ns farmers
except by our own personal effort.
We have hoped ngninst linpo for united
and concerted action among ourselves
and have waited too long for congress
o give legislative relief. Our reforms
nnd progress must conic through tho
xainple of individual effort. One
progressive, public spirited citi7.cn of
Carrollton is worth more to it than
volumes of city ordinances. So also
is the example of a few intelligent and
energetic farmers of incalculable werlli
to tho Callao of agriculture.
“Without reflecting on the opinion',
of others, wo yet venture to say that
too much has been aaid and written
about ‘hardtimes,’ ‘distress,’ ‘poverty,’
signs of evil.’ Our people are rapid
ly getting into a morbidly morose con-
lition from which I should rejoice to
sec them aroused and reassured. All
tlm great questions now agitating and
dividing our people nnd which engen
der strife and discord—questions of
tuxes, tariff and money which have
been discussed sinco the foundation
of the government and apparently
they nro no nearer solution I linn
lien they were wrestled with by
Jefferson and Hamilton, by Clay, Onl-
bonn nnd Webster anil by Stephens,
Hill nnd Toombs, giants in intellect
and matchless in patriotic devotion to
tlie principles of onr government. Tho
solution of those questions requires
On) exercise of wisdom, of experience,
of honesty and of patriotism. Into
the hands of our national legislators
have wo committed our interests, hop-
fur a jimt settlement of tho issues
involved and nothing is left us but to
bold them responsible for their stew
ardship. "
lie advised tho farmers to direct
their energies to more useful, profit
able and practical questions which
benefit them and add to the glory and
prosperity of Georgia.
Tho fearful scenes of violence,”
continued he, “recently enacted in tho
west, fearful in the interruption to tho
business and commerce of tho country
and more fearful in tlio destruction of
life anil property should carry with
their horrors a lesson and a warning
ry farmer in this state. A con
tinuance of those disturbances for one
month longer would have cnuseil a
bread and meat famine in Georgia, a
state which can bo and which should
lie an empire within itself. In such a
state, with such a climate, such soil,
such seasons, such susceptibility to
the production of all the vnrie'il
products which sustain life and
give comfort and enjoyment to innii,
such a condition is little less limn
criminal. We cannot escape respon
sibility in permitting the importation
into this stntu of thoso productions
which can be easily and profitably
raised .in Georgia.”
President Waddell referred to the
want of success among the farmers and
attributed it largely to the practice of
giving over to negro tenants the entire
charge of lands. Ho advocated snmll
farms to in- run by tlm owners and
urged that the Georgia of today was
greater than the Georgia of olden
times of which we hear so much.
President Waddell called forth more
than ordinary attention when ho euiil:
“For many years our society has
had no recognition from the state of
Georgia. In 1859 the legislature en-
illustrating onr agricultural, mechani
cal niul industrial resources. That
law remains on tho statute books, but
it is a dead letter because wo are told,
that undo! tho constitution of 1877 no
provision is mndo for snob appropria
tion. When wo sock to remedy this
wrong wo nro told that tho state ia
doing a vast amount of good to
tho farmers in the -support of tlio
agricultural department and in the
establishment of tlm experiment sta-
tiou. It is suseeptittle of proof that
these do not cost the state one dollar.
Tho inspection fees Which are paid by
tlio farmers are sufficient to meet tlio
expenses of both the department and
the station and pays into tho treasury
of tlio state a snug surplus, which is
placed to the credit of tho common
school fund. Besides tho experiment
station was established with funds do
nated iu greater part by the govern
ment, I positively assert tlmt tho
railroads have dono intlnitoly more for
this society nnd the cause of agricul
ture than linvo the legislatures
during tho past fifteen years.
From the state, during that
time, we have not received one dollar.
Tho railroads, on the contrary, linvo
mndo largo contributions in money,
they lmvo transported county exhibits
to and from Btato fairs free. To tlm
fail's they have given the lowest possi
ble rates’, nnd to this society, with blit
ono exception iu over twenty years,
they linvo given froo transportation
both ways to tho delegates to our agri
cultural conventions. They have done
more to Hiistnin tlio society, to perpet
uate it, than all other agencies Com
bined. The facts sustain those asser
tions, nnd it is but an net of simple
justice to make them.
In closing, Colonel Waddell paid a
handsome tribute to Hun. O. A. Barry,
tlm general vioe-preiiidenl, who hud re
signed to go to Texas.
•. OVItllNOll NORTHEHn’s HI'KI-'.ITI.
At tlio conclusion ‘of tho president's
address, Governor Northeu was invit
ed by special motion to address the
convention. He said that lio felt hon
ored ill speaking to a society tlint 1ms
honored him so highly in the past,
and ho could say this honestly as he
was not nor would lie ever again so
long as ho lived a candidate for pub
lic office.
Ho referred to the great iiirtuoiio.il
wielded by tho society, nnd gave tlio
members much cnoourngemont for tlm
future.
He argued the imhortmioo of edu
cating tho children' in tlio rural dis
tricts of Georgia, Who, taken ns a
whole, wore lint beluig educated. Ho
referred to his biilila in Hancock, ueur
which 'there was no white school, liut
several admirable smiools for tho ne
groes. Ho said it whs time to Login
developing ihu brkiji of Georgia and
lie called forth npplituso, when lie said
lie was unalterably opposed to plant
ing any dynamite in Georgia, to
bringing any man hero who duos not
understand our system of government
nnd is opposed to it.
He said further, that ho was opposed
to peoplo who wouid formulate strife,
or who ndvocstod strikes. Tho great
question lieforo Georgia today, lie de
clared, is what to do to benefit tlm
country districts tlmt they may sus
tain net only themselves but tlm other
general interests of tho state.
Ho referred to tho peoplo going to
Texas, and said that they were going
there becauso they could get better
education than in' Georgia. Ho en
dorsed c\4r£ sentiment expressed in
President Waddell's address.
NEWBY ITEMS GATHERED HERE
AND THERE OVER TIIE STATE
To Restrict tiul Halo of I’olsons.
Again the restriction of tho salo of
poisons and narcotic drugs is Doing
prominently liryuglit before the public.
Messrs. Austin Park, attorneys, of
Atlanta, representing the state board
of pharmacy, have sent tlio following
circular to a good many grocery stores
in the stato, notifying them that thoy
will be prosecuted if cases of violating
tlio law can 1m made out against them.
Tlm following is tho circular:
“To regulate the sale of poisons in
this state.
“Section 1. It shall be unlawful for
any person to furnish by retail any
poisons enumerated ill schedules A
and IS, ns follows:
SCHEDULE A.
“Arsenic—Fowler’s solution, Dono
van’s solution, urseniouH acid, arsemto
ammonia. Acid—Prussic. Mercury-
Biniodie, corrosive sublimate, red pre
cipitate. Morphia—Acetate, bromide,
muriate, sulphate, valerianate ninl so
lutions, oil bitter almonds. Opium
Laudanum, tincture opil iloodarata,
tincture oil acetate, fluid nnd solid ex
tract of potassium cyanide. Strych
nine—Sulphate, muriate. Alkaloids—
Aconitia, atropia, brueia, codeia, co-
uin, emotia, nurcotina, nieotia, veru-
tria, etc.
SCHEDULE n.
“Aconite—Belladonna, eantharidos,
colchium root, coichium seed, cotton

acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid,
sulphuric acid, sulphurous acid, sul
phate Of zinc.”
It is a misdemeanor to violnto the
above law and is punishable by a flue
not exceeding $1,000. The above ex
tract of tlm law shows tho medicines
that can only bo sold Dy a registered
druggist or pharmacist. Tho recent
suicides throughout tho state have
brought about this action.
Firurr the devil at every point. If
he see.- that he cannot muke you com
mit a big sin, lie will try you with Jit-
tig t'po harms.”
Amt Condeiiseil Into Pithy mill Inter
esting Piiragraplis.
When the uniformed rank, Knights
of Pythias, from all tho country over
meet in Washington during tho latter
part of this month, Georgia will bo
represented by n full regiment of near
ly live hundred knights.
I/. P. Master’s family and iho Pn-
oettis, of Savannah, linvo just lcarnod
that they nro heirs to a largo fortuno
in Cordinns, Culm, loft by two groat
uncles named Attgrew. Tlio property
Inis for some years been in the bands
of tlm Spanish government and tho
heirs linvo employed attorneys at
Washington to look into tlio matter
through tlio stato department.
Tho Athens Banner hns been sold at
public outcry to Messrs. J. C. C. Mc
Mahan, of Athens; James Smith, df
Kmithonin, nnd Hamilton McWhorter,
of LoXiugton. Tlio salo was made by
the sheriff'in order to perfect the title
and only brought, $1,900 at public out
cry, but tlio real price paid in private
sail) was $4,800, which satisfies the flrat
two mortgages held by Messrs. George
Dudley and Ellison Stone. Tho threo
purchasers were the largest stockhold
er:! in tlio old company. They will
hold tho paper until they can sell or
lease it. Mr. Joo Stone, who has
boon tho lessee of tlio piper for tho
past year, will linvo control of Tho
Banner temporarily and Mr. T. W.
Rood will lie retained iih managing
editor until the purchasers permanent
ly disposo of tlio paper.
Thu early charters of steamers at
Savannah for tho coming season open
ing iu September anil October, espec
ially tlio shipments of cotton, would
indicate a clump rate of freight, for
early shipments. Just what effect,
however, tbo present eastern einbrog-
liu will have on tlio freight market for
tlie rail and water business lias not yet
mndo itself apparent. It is more than
likely that there will bo a largo
amount of ton lingo required to carry
war supplies to tbo east, and in conse
quence uf this anticipation rates for
steam vessels aro more tlmn apt to
llrm up some, and higher rates for Do
comber and November shipments will
1m tlm rule. .Exports of cotton will
Mho be very Into tlio coming season
owing to tlio backwardness of tho
crop, which has been retarded by
rains and eool nights. Last season
the first bales hail already oomo to
hand in July, but thus far there nre
not even any advices oi new bales for
tho Savannah market.
■ State Dairymen’s Association.
The dairymen of Georgia nnd olhera
interested in dairying and stockrnis-
ing are invited to meet iu Griffin on
August 22d and 23d for tho purpose of
organizing a stato dairyraon’s associa
tion. The usual concession in railroad
rates will bo accorded, provided as
many as 100 shall attend, paying full
fare going. When buying a ticket at
the starting point, ask tho ticket agont
for n receipted ccrtiticnto. This will
afford a good opportunity for any ono
to visit tho experiment station and
farms, etc., whether specially inter
ci ted in dairying or not, as all who at
tend tho convention will be entitled to
tlm reduced rates, under tho condition
proscribed. A considerable number
linvo already notified Director Redding
that they will attend. For any further
information on tho subject address Di

igo, in tlio time of Queen Elizabeth,
die language was spoken only by
about 6,000,000 of people, nearly all

It was about this time that England

The principal languages which enter
into competition with English, and
which are spoken by the greatest
number of people—leaving out of ac

lilndustuneo—are French, Spanish,
Russian and German. Of these
