A Proposal Against A Free Press.
A free press has largely made the
U. S. what it is. Suppression ot
same has made some other nations
what they ore.
Tho following bill has been intro
duced in the 64th Congress by Siegel
of New 1 York, containing this:
“That whenever a complaint in
writing shall be filled with the Post
master General that any publication
making use of or being sent through
the mails contain® any article there
in which tends to expose any race,
creed or religion to either hatred,
contempt, ridicule, or obloquy, lie
eh aLI forthwith cause am investiga
tion to be made under his direction
and shall wlbhin twenty days after
receipt of such complaint, if the fact*
contained therein are true, make am
order forbidding the further use
of the mails to any such pub Idea
tion, but nothing herein contain e<
shall be deemed to prevent the Poet
master General from restoring such
use of the mails to any such publi
cation whenever it shall be establish
ed to his satisfaction that the pub
ration has ceased to print or publish
such prohibited matter aaid given hin
satisfactoryy assurances in writing
that there will be no further repe
tition of the same.”
If passed. l it is very probable that
the Supreme court would declare the
act unconstitutional. It would tend
to make the post office department a
bureau of Autocracy and to give to
the Post Master General the pow
er of a Czar.
It would make people’s minds re
v Tt to the Spanish Inquisition,* the
Hostile and St. Bartholomew’ day.
Suppose it were lo pass. Suppose a
Catholic post master general, or uny
other as to that matter and freedom
would he as dead as the dickens, as
soon as it came into effect. We
s ill favor the freedom of the press,
and forever oppose “one man rub
in the United States.” Splendid laws
against libel protect the public and
a lot of things need to be exposed
and aaied which can he done only
through the press. 6

BRIEF THINKLETS.
The wese man sees, hears and
thinks. The fool i® tickled with the
sound of his own voice.
Let a handsome, sprightly and styl
ishly garbed woman walk down the
street and every eye will be turn
ed upon her. It is our instinctive rec
ognition of that which appeals to
ue. The eye but obeys the will of
the brain and of the mind.
And as we gaze in admiration upoa
the wonders of womanhood, so <it
Is when the brightest and cleanest
of nature and the works of men l are
opened up to us. We see, we admire
and we retain our impressions thn
out the years.
Take a walk around the business
section of town. It will compare
favorbaly with the average town of
its size. But it should not simply be
on a par with other places. It should
be the best of all towns of its
class, because our business men have
the ability to make it such if some
one will take the lead and inaugurate
an improvement movement. Busanest:
but Little expense, fresh paint would
property could be improved w r ith
but little expense.
The birth of a newi year should
see the dawn of anew order of
thing® in this towtn. It should see
every man and every woman striv
ing to make this the brightest and
the most attractive spot in this
whole section of the state. I should
see u® striving with might and de
termination to convert a pleasant
country town into a graden spot of
beauty, with health, happiness and
prosperity as the heritage of our dai
ly life. It can be done if wje want
to do it. M
Ths Habit of Taking Cold.
With many people, taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed —not ace cold, hut a
bempature of about 90 degree® F.
Also sleep with your window up. Do
this and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take cold take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and get rid
of it as quickly as possible. Obtain
able everywhere. Advt.

SUFFERED FOR
TWENTY YEARS.
“Smothering Spells Almost Set Me
Wild,” He Says. Takes Tanlac
and Says He is Now Well
and Strong.
“For twenty years I have suffered
with catarrh in my head and throat
Everybody who knows me, and I knov
a great many of people, knows this
to be a fact,” said C. F. Cartwright,
who lives in Alton Park, Chattanoo
ga, Tenn.
“Every night my head would be so
stopped up 1 could hardly breathe,
and. I would have a clicking leefling
and shortness of hr ath that nearly
drove me wild. I guess I had car
tarrh of the stomach, too, because
I had indigestion most of the time.
In fact, I have not had a well day
for years, and have been so nervous
and restless 1 simply dreaded to
see night come, because I could not
sleep, and to tell the truth, I was
so weak and rundown I have not
been able to do any work for I don’t
know how long. No kind of medi
cine and I took nearly everything,
seemed to help me a particle until
1 heard of th® Tanlac. My son-in
law induced me to try it, he said
he had been hi aring lots about it.
“I have used two bottles of the
medicine and am proud to say I be
lieve I am a® well and strong as 1
ever was. My appetite and digestion
have improved and I am gaining righ
along. 1 sleep good at night an J!
can breathe fine. I no longer have
those choking, smothering sensations
like 1 used to liave.
“Everybody cer n nlv ought ot know
about this medicine, for it surely has
done wonders for me. The only tiling
1 hate is that I did not h-ear about
i f years ago, as 1 believe 4 it would
have saved me lots of suffering.”-
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Winder
