A great many people experience
distress after meals; others perhaps
more numerous, poor in this world’s
goods, have that distressed feeling
prior to meal time.
Twenty-two Christians decapi
tated and yet we cry “War is in
evitable.” In the matter of con
jugation the unspeakable Turk
has the advantage of us.
Southward the course of relig
ion takes it way—the Salvation
Army has pitched its tents in the
mountains of Tennessee and will
proceed to Christianize the native
heathen
$25,000 for a smile. Young la
dies unskilled in the art will learn
something to their advantage by
communicating with Miss Bonnie
Burnham, Writing Indiana. Par
ticulars will be furnished.
It is said that the brains of the
Japanese, both male and female
average greater weight than those
of the English. Another case of
quantity not quality. The other
extreme may be discovered in the
comparative "footing” of the two
nations.
And now Postmaster-General
Payne states that the appointment
of fourth class postmasters is gov
erned by political and not civil
service rules. We have no doubt
of it; evidently some of the first
class appointments are political
effects, also.
Information comes from Flori
da that Capt. Bob Davis is press
ing his campaign for the Demo
cratic nomination in such a splen
did manner as to make sure his
selection over all opposition. Bob
Davis will be made governor, and
bis scores of Decatur county
friends will greatly “rejoice with
them that do tejoice” over his
election.
Miami, with her real, live cy
clone has wrested the palm from
Atlanta in the queer accident con
test. Her old gentleman with his
false teeth and mosquito lotion is
strictly out of it when it comes to
a genuine Florida hurricane.
However wc learn that Atlanta
intends to contest the decision on
the ground of mistaken identity;
every one will readily admit that
it was the Atlanta carshed that
cyclone intended to demolish
Professional.
In the year past, ending Au
gust 1st, the number of bales of
cotton consumed by the mills of
the South was 2,000,729, while
for the same period the mills of
the North employed - only 1,967.-
635 bales. This showing should
be sufficient to convince every one
that the drift of the mills south
ward until.this section practically
manufactures all its cotton, is only
a question of time.
During the nine years past,
upon the basis of consumption the
South has gained 915,725 bales,
that is she has figured on a com
parative basis over her rorthern
competitor. What does this
mean, if it does not indicate that
all the mills are sooner or later to
be moved to ther logical location;
that is among the cotton fields
where the heavy expense of trans
portation may be avoided.
The streams of Georgia furnish
ample power for their erection
where such power is required or
preferred. The people of the
North are becoming more and
more acquainted with this . fact
and as rapidly as they can do so,
they are rebuilding their factories
and re-founding their hopes upon
the commercial possibilities of the
South.
We have a • great stretch of
country in Georgia, and as she
blossoms as the rose every citizen
should appear on the firing line
and with the substance of his la
bors help our Empire State in her
struggle for commercial supremacy
over the rest of the country.

The Search Light does not
vor persecution in anv shape or
form, and it does not have to do
so in order to press upon the peo
ple of the rural districts the im
portance of ridding themselves of
the vagrants. As these indolent,
theiving, lawless classes are driven
from the cities, it is natural that
they should flee to the country for
refuge. In this way rural commu
nities will become overrun with
vagrants, and the only method of
protecting themselves will be to
employ the utmo-t vigilance in the
prosecution of all parties coming
within the scope and meaning of
the law.
The days of the festive mosqui
to now are numbered.
The friends of Mr. W. J. Pridg
en, formerly a resident of Decatur
county but who is at present liv
ing at Pridgen, Fla., will be inter
ested in hearing of his thrilling en
counter with a wildcat a few days
ago.
It seems that while out riding
he came across a wildcat with two
kittens and attempted to kill it
with a pine knot. Tne cat resent
ed the attempt and returned the
attack with interest. Mr. Pridgen
seeing that discrestion was in his
case better plan, ran to his horse
and mounted; hut his feline antag
onist thoroughly aroused pursued
him and also mounted the horse.
Had it not been for tbe timely as
sistance of a friend Mr. Pridgen
would surely have sustained seri
ous injury. His friends are con
gratulating him on his esca|>r.
