C. M. Morcoek has assumed charge

Oh, no, Polly. There was no polit

Mr. George Woodruff came In to rea<

Callahan came in to Rive us an ad

of the Harrow county Sunday schools
and Judge Johns was in conversation
with our brother upon legal matters.

R. E. Davison, chairman of the

physician, is quoted as saying: “All

plenty of leather; it's the best medi
cine dn the world for a sick con

remarks quoted above lie is unfit

BEST WAY TO BOOST.
The proper way to boost your own
home town is a subject which has in
terested many a willing citizen who
has learned from observation that
the real booster is not the man who
throws his hat up in the air and
runs up and down the street calling
attention to himself while shouting
"Hurrah for Bingville.”
Boosting is actively doing things
that will make for prosperity in
your locality . The most practical
form of all is patronizing your home
stores and your home industries buy
ing at home and’keeping money in the
home town. A dollar spent in your
home town runs the rounds in your
home town and does local good all
along the line . When you send your
dollar out of town it’s "Goodbye dol
lar"
Mutual helpfulness in a commercial
way is the way to put ‘pep’ and ‘gin
ger’ Wo any community large or
small.
If you want to rtavel the road to
Better Buying; if you want to make
your purchases with safety and with
confidence; if you want a full dollar’,
worth for your dollar and a load of
satisfaction free with every purchase,
your course is clean Go straight to
the merchant who advertises in his
home paper. He can meet your he“
quirements, and often he can g'vo
you more for your money than you
can get by sending it off to the mail
order house. The home merchant
who advertises is a real booster, be
is a builder and he will do to tie
to; he is the kind of booster that
makes good and through his hm e p?
per lie points the way.
FOREWARNED— FOREARMED.
A girl hud a proposal of marriage
Sunday night, and asked a week to
consider it before answering She
then organized herself into an inves
tigating committee and begun taking
evidence from married ladies of her
acquaintance. The first one she vis
ited used to be a belle and the most
admired girl in town, before she mar
ried six years before. Tide cross ex
amination brought out the fact that
she had six children, dud all her own
work, including washing and ironing,
and hadn't been down town for four
weeks, and that her husband had giv
en her but $2 since she married, and
that he had borrow and and forgot to
pay back $lO which her brother had
given her for a Christmas pres nt.
lie bought himself anew overcoat
with the money, while she wore the
same push coat.w hich she wore when
lie was courting her. Another wom
an whom she visited quit tea ‘iiing
school three years ago to marry the
handsomest and best-dressed man in
town, and she was supporting him.
A third didn’t dare say her soul was
hr own when her lius'and was
around, though she used to write
tome lovely essays when she was in
school on the "emancipation of wo
men," and the fourth woman she vis
ited was divorced. After visiting all
of there and summing up the evidence
she went home and wrote the young
man. She will be married next
month.

GEORGIA HOUSE JUMPS ITS JOB.
The lower hou.se of the Georgia
General Assembly jumped its job
Wednesday at 1 o'clock in the after
noon.
The ruling power in this illegal
move is attributed to th° fanatical
and misguided, self-styled prohibi
tionists---the extremists, who have
done rnoro injury to real temper
ance in this state than any other
class of our citizens.
Fifty thousand dollars of the
state’s money gone and only three
measures of general interest passed-
When will the people of Georgia
quit sending men to the capital to
wrangle over prohibition in a prohi
bition state.
The action of these fanatical ser
vants of a more fanatical THIRD
HOUSE will necessitate an extra
session of the legislature. The
state cannot operate without the
funds constitutionally and proper
ly appropriated.' The emergency
legislation which makes the extra
session necessary should lie the only
legislation put before the law-givers.
If Governor Harris does include
a recomendation for prohibition
legislation at the extra session, then
we hope he will recommend t li a t
any measure passed by this bunch
at this time he submitteed to the
people, of Georgia for ratification
before it becomes operative.
These extremists would wreck the
state to serve their outside fanatical
bosses. With a depleted treasury,
they illegally vote to quit their jobs
in an effort to force their pet hob
bies down the throats of the people
of Georgia.
Now look what has been left un
done. We have not yet the cotton
warehouse bill, legislation in which
nearly every farmer in Geoogia is
vitally interested —legislation mak
ing a cotton warehouse receipt nego
tiable collateral in any bank in any
money center.
There is not yet a thing on the
statute books to standardize our ex
pensive, involved and archaic land
title system, although two first-class
bills, each designed to meet a spe
cific need were before the Legislature
There in no State system of road
building and Georgia is now good
roads crazy, though there was a
first-class bill designed to work im
measurable good to counties which
want to build good roads, waiting
all those days to be put on its pas
sage- So on and so forth.
REFORMERS AND POLICE.
According to Robert E. Crow, for
mer state's attorney for Illinois and
recently appointed attorney for the
police trial board of Chicago, ‘‘So
called reform organizations do more
harm than good. They create suspi
cin and interfere with the co-opera
tion which should exist between po
lice and public.’ 'ln other words, a
community pays taxes to maintain a
police force. This organization does
its work effectively and quietly. It
does not aim to be spectacular or to
play to the grand stand. Then along
comes a reformer and exposes some
thing beneath the nose of the police.
He indulges in hyperbole for the ben
efit of the newspapers. Conditions
are “shocking.” “Vice is rampant."
Morals have gone to the etenral bow
wows. He parades his discoveries
before the eyes of the public. He
gloats over the naughtiness he has
found. He revels in it, and is glad
that he, at least, is above temptation,
and can um'arth a cess pool without
soiling his fingers. It is an old sto
ry to the police. If vice and crime
did not exist, there would be no Use
for the strong arm of the law. But
where the police might have dealt
with the situation rationally, the re
former, nine times out of ten. merely
spills the beans. The work of the
police is undone. The expose be
comes a nine days wonder, then is for
gotten while the reformer plans an
other coup. Meanwhile, how-ever. the
confidence in the police force is les
sened. The police, sensing this lack
SCHOOL FOR GROWN PEOPLE.
Beginning August 23, and running
through September 3, there will be
held at the Ninth District A. & M.
School few grown people.
This school is prompted by the
fact that there are many mature men
and women in. the country who came
on about the time of and just after
tfce Civil War and, consequently, bad
little or no chance to secure an ed
ucation. it is mainly for those peo
ple that this term has been! planned.
There is no good reason why the
schools should have limited their
work so much to the children of pub
lic school age. (
The people of Denmark were first
to es’ablish schools for grown-ups,
and they have been quite successful.
No regualr school for adults has been
conducted in the L T nited States. In
Kentucky moonlight schools have
been held. So the Ninth District
school will be the first to try a reg
ular term of this kind.
THE ONLY WAY.
It is better to give children char
acter and good tastes and habits than
to leave them hard cash. Human
qualities are always higher things
than metals, and it is a strange dis
tortion of values to find so many peo
pie hungering and thirsting for the
possession of coined metals for their
own sake and not for the sake of
what these, which are tokens of hu
man labor, can give when translated
into their equivalent in books, furni
ture, pictures, flowers, or beauty of
one kind or another. The only way
of taking one’s wealth out of this
world into the next is to transform it
into mental possessions, into feelings
for beauty; into thought; into intel
lectual desires; things which we
can well believe elude burial in a
coffin. It is a dreadful waste of
time in the world to go out of it, cs
poor as we went into it; to bear
no treasure away from this world to
whatever stars one may go to; and
life is waited if one has not stored
oneself with the wisdom of books am
the beauty of art and life as far as
might he possible.—George W. Rus
sell.
Vagaries of Patriotism.
Patriotism is a surprising thing,
some times. Take the case of the
New Jersey' Italian who sold his
housekeeper and her child for S2O
and went to war.—Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
HOUSE WITH A HISTORY.
The old Carter Hill place, now 1 oc
cupied by Manse Wages, is perhaps
the most historic home in farrow
county. It has the distinction of
having been located in four counties
of Georgia. The dwelling house was
originally built in Franklin county in
a part of the territory which later
went to Jackson. Then when Cut
Off district was taken from Jackson
and ceded to Walton it included this
old home, and it is now a part of a
prosperous section of Barrow county
The building was erected of hewn and
split logs, pinned together with post
oak pins. It has stood for many
years and is destined to stand the
storms of years to come. In troub
ulous times of the past it was used
as a fort and its port holes arouse
i
the curiosity of present day visitors.
Could the old building speak it woulc

of confidence, become indifferent and
don't care. The reformer has not
remedied things in the least. He has
if anything, made them worse.
Despondency Due to Indigestion.
“About three months ago when 1
was suffering from indigestion which
caused headache and dizzy spells and
made me feel tired and despondent,
I began taking Chamberlain's Tab

the very' thing I needed, as one day’s
treatment relieved me greatly. I used
two bottles of Chamberlain’s Tablets
and they rid me of this trouble.” Ob
