A. Fish bum, secretary of the Commercial Club of Dallas, Texas, has prepared a set of rules for making a town grow. Ho guarantees their efficacy. Here they are: 1. Join no organizations looking to the upbuilding of your town. This will prove an encouragement to those who give their time and money to sustain such orgtiniza* t ions. 2. Impugn tin; motives of those who join and charge them with :g desire to advertise themselves. This inspires patriotic men to work all the harder for the public: good. Why? Many people are asking why. The question has troubled you not a little, Why is t.hu saloon so strongly out reached? Why are so many people in every community indifferent to its rav ages^ Whv do they not arise in right eous indigation and stamp it out? it is not because the ravages of drink arc unknown. It is not because tin* advantages of sobriety are unfamiliar. It is not because the saloon pro tends to !>e anything but a lawless j abomination. it is not because most persons in 1 every community would not glad- j it W. 1>.

This will*prove a keen incentive to the complete fulfillment of their official obligations. 7. Whenever your town papers fail to make war on the saloon be cause they know that such a war would alienate the brewer and the saloonist, and thus contract the volume ot profitable trade. Yes, sir; it is 1ho money centred in the whiskey business wliich makes it so overwhelmingly influ* cntial.. Take away the commercial element and you rob it of its chief power.

Too Many Laws. 13eale© in FAMILY GROCERIES The recent remarks of .Judge Coxe, of the United States Court, before the graduating class of the Law Department of the Univer sity of Chicago, have attracted wide attention. Among other things be said: “Wo are suffer* ing in this country from an over production of law; there are 1-1,000 statutes made annually in the United States. We legislate to cure all evils, to remedy past ones, 1 to stop immorality, and yet every day we see crime go unpunished and murderers go free. The mob tired of 1 ho law's delay, drags out its victims to death in light of flaming jails and court houses.” Comment ing on this, the Nashville Banner says that “there is too much law*mal<ing and too little AND General Merchandise.

From this fund Georgia would receive about $250,000, the money being distributed on a population basis, excluding cities of more than ten thousand inhabitants. An exchange published the fol lowing of the relation of the “homo paper” to the people: “Somebody has well said that j ‘your home paper never los“s in- | (crest in you.’ This possibly you J have never given a passing I thought. No matter whether you : like the newspaper man or be likes you, if he is true to his pro- i fessiori and publishes a paper for I the people, he allows no personal matters or petty spites to inter | fere with his news gathering. He may meet you as a stranger, yet i along with his best and dearest i friends chronicle your successes j and your sorrows wherever you may be. Those who would forget i you but for your home paper, are ; ever and anon reminded of your existence by some item in toll ft vil lage paper where you spent your boyhood days. Other may deceive and defraud you, but the homo paper never forgets you. Pos sibly you do not always deserve it, lint a newspaper on the right lines has no pets, and should it at any time say things that cause your fur to turn the wrong way, study a moment and sea if it has not at vartous. times said nice things of which you fail to give it credit.” A Sickening Sight.

A fellow named Edwards, postmaster at Macon, a native southerner and calling him self a white man, made a speech in which he told how much the south loves Roosevelt and the principles of the republican party. And yet, some iiorthen people wonder why it is that the south re* mains steadfastly democratic. We hope the people of Macon will it*- remember that fellow Edwards and when a democratic president is inaugurated next March t. a man representing southern senti ment will be promptly installed in the Maeon postoffico. — ‘Cold* County Courier.
