Mr*. Eddy, the heart and founder
»f Christian Science, says: “If God
created drugs for medicinal use, Jes
us and His disciples would hsiye used
and recommended them." This is
on a par with the objection to smok
ing tlmt “if God Imd intended a man
to smoke lie would have built a chim
ney on his head."—Savannah news.

Waycross Herald: One of our
readers tells the following: A cer
tain woman who was a great admir
er of Shakespeare, was very much
wrought u over the idea that it was
Bacon who wrote curtain things that
were attributed to Shakespeare. On
one occasion she said to her husband
that when she got to heaven she
would ask him about. Her husband
quietly stated in a soothing manner,
“Mary, ho may net be there.” She
quickly took in the situation and re
plied, “All right then, John, you ask
him about it.’’

It’s lucky for mosquitoes in their
busy season that they don’t know
wtiat modesty is.
It’s funny, but the tnan who will
shy clear across the street at the
truth will believe most every lie he
hears,
A woman can’t spend as much on
a bathing suit as au opera cloak, hut
she can show a great deal more for
her money.
The meanest man that over lived
in,.st feel something warm in his
heart when lie sees a toddling baby
girl squeezing a puppy dog close to
her/
If there weren’t any wives there
wouldn’t be any quarrels, but if
weren’t any quarrels there wouldn’t
be any making ups, and then every
body would bo bored to death.
' J'he man is never old who, the
loiter lie lives, lives the more.
Women are such a puzzle to men
t because they are such a puzzle to
themselves.
There is a certain way a girl fixes
x nip when a man is coming to call
o i ier which she calls “just enough
lit.'
it makes a girl awfully mad to
oituh her yawning and realizes that
she caught it from a man that she
just hates.
When a man hates another man
the worst, it,is for the least reason;
when a woman loves a man the best
.it is when lie is the least worthy.

From The Atlanta Constitution.
Columbus, Ga., July 1.—Applica
tion for charter for the Columbus and
Arlington Kailway Company was
published this morning, tiie proposed
road to he built from here to Arling
ton, Ga., in the southwest corner ot
the state, ninety miles away.
The incorporators ot the new road
are J. F. Hanson, John M. Egan, T.
D. Kline and other gentlemen who
are well known through their con
nection with the Ceutral of Georgia
ruilway. The personnel of the in
corporators shows that the new road
will lie a part of the Central’s grow
ing and vigorous system,
The new road will run through the
counties of Calhoun, Kandolph, Stew-
ert, Chattahoochee and Muscogee.
The petition for charter explains that
the road is to be built from Arling
ton to Cutbbert, from Cuthbert to
Lumpkin, and from Lumpkin to Co
lumbus. The capital stock of the
company will be $500,000. The
principal office of the company will
be in Columbus.
The completion of this project will
give Columbus a straight line to Tal
lahassee, the capital of Florida, as
the Georgia Pme, which runs from
Bainbridge to Arlington, is now ex
tending from Bainbridge on the
south to Tallahassee. This will be
but one beneficial result of building
this road, however, as it is confident
ly believed that the guage on the
Columbus and Home will be broad
ened and the road extended to New-
nan, thus giving the Central rmlway
a direct route from Chattanooga to
Florida. This has always impressed
railroad men as a feasible and prac
tical route and the for a charter for
the Columbus and Arlington Rail
way Company would indicate that
the Ceutral railway fully recognizes
this fact.
Building the Columbus and Arling
ton will uot only place Columbus on
a through trunk line from the west
to Florida, but will open to the oily
one of tiie best sections of Georgia, a
territory wbioh in many respects has
been almost inaccessible heretofore.
MIIHK VOTES TO KI.Kcr UHKHIIlIvYT.
Leslie a Weekly.
It w,ill take fifteen more votes to
elect the next president than were re
quired at the last election of McKin
ley. Under the reapportionweut act
which goes into operation cu March
4, 1903, the membership of the bouse
of representatives and the - eleotorial
college is increased to the extent of
twenty nine. There were 447 mem
bers iu the eleotorial college which
chose President McKinley. There
will be 47(1 in the body which will
choose his successor iu 1904, ami this
number will be further increased if
any* of the Territories should be ad
mitted to Statehood in the interval.
The States of the North Atlantic
seaboard gaiu nine votes in the eleo-
torial college by the new allotment
(three of which go to New York),
the sixteen ex-slave States gain ten,
and thw middle West ami far West
also gain ten.
As the States increase and the elec'
torial college expands, the chance for
the dominance of any particular state
grows less and less. New York was
“pivotal” in 1844, 1848, 1880, 1884,'
1888, hut Cleveland in 1892 and Mc
Kinley in 1896 and 1900 would have
been elected if New York whioh
the carried, had gone against them.
In 1876, however, when Hays had a
lead of ou.lv one vote in tiie elector*
■al college, aud when Tildeu carried
New York, the little State of Colo
rado, which was admitted that year—
which the democrats could easily
have kept out, aud which they prob
ably would have kept out if they had
thought it would be on the other side
iu the election—may he sai l to have
been “pivotal.” The eleotorial col
lege had 369 members in 1876. It
had 447 iu 1900. It will have 476
in 1904, while it Oklahoma or any
other Territory be admitted to State
hood before then the number will be
greater. Manifestly, as the elector
al college increases in size, the mar
gins for the successful candidates for
president will have a tendency to
broaden, and no single State, howev
er large, will ordinarily he able to
claim for itself any especial domi
nance in dictating the result.
AX ALABAMA BA BY 11 IT H FOl R 1.KBS.
Physicians in Alabama are taking
much interest in the case of the four
legged clrtld to whom Mary Maddox,
a negress, gave birth at Opelika on
May’24th. The baby is a well-devel
oped male child.
One pair of legs are iu the ordinary
position, and, like the arms, are wOll
formed. The extra pair of legs are
near the arms, and while quite well
formed, are small. The feet on the
extra legs are regularly formed with
toes and toenails, but have the ap
pearance of belonging to a sickly,
child. The child is robust and healthy,
with all the faculties of an ordinary
child. The child has been examined
by leading physicians of the stale
and pronounced healthy in every
thing except the extra pair of limbs,
lie lias good use of his regular limbs,
but seems unable to control the oth
ers. The physicians, after a careful
examination, said that it the child
liveB, which seems altogether proba
ble at this time, he will eventually
get control of them, as there are
about the same muscles and liga
mems in them that are fouud in a
cub hear of the same age.
Th rusands of people have gone to
Opelika to view the freak, of whom
the parents seem to he very fond.
Several theories are advanced to
account for the monstrosity. One
of them is that the mother was fright
ened by a great black hear during
the street fair in Opelika last fall.
Dr. Williamson, a stroug believer m
the Daiwinian theory, declares that
the case is simply a retrogression of
mankind—a step backward—and that
the child demonstrates that the hu
man race came from the monkey
family.
The features of the child are regu
lar. They are those of the typical
African, with the large mouth, flat
nose and kinky haw.
Already the father of the child,
John Maddox, is arranging to place
him on exhibition, believing that he
has the greatest human curiosity ev
er produced. He is awailiug the
highest bidder, and as soon as the
child and mother are strong enough
they will take to the roald.—New
York Sun.
Senator Hanna is a yery shrewd
politician, but events have shown
that he is not proof against the wily
confidence mau. A smooth stranger
dropped iu to see him iu Cleveland
the other.day, and introduced him
self as “Mr. Bailey of Texas, brother
of Senator Bailey." After a few
minuses conversation “Mr. Bailey”
informed the senator that he had
been to Buffalo and had spent more
mouey than he should have done,
and was temporarily short; would
the senator kindly let him
have $25 until he reached home?
The senator did. Later he learned
that “Mr. Bailey of Texas” had
transformed himself into “Mr. Wise
ot Virginia,” “Mr. Hogg ot Texas,”
aud several other persons, brothers
of celebrities of politics, and “touch
ed,’ a number of Clevelanders who
chanced to be as confiding as Sena
tor Hanua.
