Of all contemptible callings that of

A Modern Madonna.
It is oiilv once in h great while that
a modern painter gives us a Mother
and child that has the sentiment and
pathos of tlie painting by Earl Stet
son Crawford that appears as the
cover of tiio September number of the
Womans Homk Companion. This r -
markable painting was chosen as the
first prize from over five thousand
canvasses submitted in the recent
prize cover contest conducted by the
Womans Homk Companion, and rep
resents the highest achievement in
magazine-cover work that lias yet a: -
peared. Mr. Crawford, the artist, is
a pupil of Houguereau, de Chavannes
and \V histlcr. and is the winner of
liiua first pr:/,ss 10 ar: contests al
ready. He received $1,500 fer this
painting, the largest amount ever
paid for a magazine cover.

The Inter Urban Railway.
It was clearly demonstrated at the
Mass meeting Saturday, that the pro
moters of the Middle Georgia Inter
Urban Rail road are in earnest and
mean to build the road as early and
as rapidly as possible. The person
el of the company is composed of old
rail road rnen and civil engineers, all
of them men who are posted as to the
eoormoua expenditures that will b“
necessary before such an undertaking
can bo completed. On the other
h vnd it is gratifying to note the real
interest and enthusiasm manifested,
and the hearty co-operation that the
people of Butts County will extend
ro the company.
There was nothing said or done
that will be mroe salutary than the
statements of Messrs T. E. Redman
J A. Pittman and J. C. Jones to the
effect that although the road might
go through their fairest acres, yet
tney would douate the right of way
cheerfully to encourage the building
of the road. Such a spirit if manifes
ted a;l along the way will go far to
wards making the road a certainty,
and there is not the shadow of a
doubt that the value of Property will
be enhanded many tines more tin n
the narrow strip will be worth.
Now let every body get together in a
spirit of co-operation and do every
thing in human power to has ten the
time when we can hear the cars go
whizz' ng by.

Who is it in Butts County that
can't today sing, rejoice and be tx
ceediogly hupp> ?
Our fondest an 1 sweetest hopes
have been realized. THANK God
for the banishment of liquor from
our bt loved siaie of Georgia.
I can't, think of it without sheding
11 ars of joy.
My boys and my neighbors are to
grow no without the open liquor simp
to Mure and intice them to clogreda
t.ion and ruin. Some say it will no'
prohibit drinking, but wo are sure
t hat thousands and tens of thousands
of our young boys will not uequire
the Imbit of drink when we close up
the places where they can resort to
aid drink socially.
Social drinking is peculiarly ‘a
southern habit.
With the warm handed and golden
hearted citizenry of the South we
have drifted into that, dangerous hab
it of socially drinking.
With the bar-rooms closed we can
and will soon drift out of this very
evil custom so prevalent in our midst.
If the closing of the grog shops in
our state will save only one soul will
we not. be more than fully rewarded
for the step taken towards the tem
perencegoai? Many good men have
been turned, by the use of strong
drink, from loving husbands and af
fectionate fathers into veritable de-
mons.
The poor laboring man has often
.received his weekly wages and with a
light heart started for home with the
sane, but lie f*ll in with “the boys’
a - the open saloon to drink a social
glass and eve the night was half gor e
he hud drunk to drunk"ess and to a
wife and children at home, anxiously
awaiting his coming, ho went peniv-
l j ss and poor. His children are
male to suffer for the want of the ; c
tual necessities of life and often I e
raises a murderous hand against them
when if he was not under the influ
ence of drink his home would be a
place of joy and happiness.
The noble W. T. 0. U. of Georgia
should not stop the hgnt with the
present law enacted. Tom and Jerry
offers his services without cost to
stump the State for the changing of
our constitution and make Georgia
a dry StateConstitutionaily. This is
the way to put the question at rest
f rrever.
Good bye old Man John Barleycorn.
Many are the furrowed cheeks and
broken hearts you have made in Geor
gia. You have wrecked homes and
dug graves by, the thousands, but
thank God you will not be a menace
to our people after Jan. Ist 1908, as
you have been in the past.

A Crestfallen Inspector.
When former Minister Wu Ting Fang
left tills country he was accompanied
by an extensive retinue and attended
to the steamer by a delegation of lo
cal Chinese merchants. The customs
officials, who then were also immigra
tion inspectors, carefully took the
names und count of the local Chinese
as they went on board. This precau
tion v.as to prevent some dvportod or
otherwise not welcome Celestial from
effecting u lauding by joining the mer
chants as they came ashore after tak
ing a ceremonious farewell of their dis
tinguished countrymau. Half an hour
or so ni*ter Wu and his friends had
gone on board one of Vt'u’s secretaries
arrived on the dock and was hurrying
up the gangplank when a customs in
spector seized him by the arm and
pulled him hack on the wharf.
“Washamaila you, John? 1 no tukee
name, you no can come back. Who
you belong?’’ said tlie inspector, smil
ing at some girls with whom he hr*]
been talking.
The Chinese shook loose the inspect
or's hold on the loose sleeve of his
fill, role and wi*h quiet dignity re
marked:
"This violence is unnecessary, sir.
and ray name is a matter of no inter
est to you. I am a member of hie
excellency's suit. I 90 on board this
steamer to leave this country never
again, I hope, to return.”
That customs inspector Is still on
the force, hut never since has he tried
to be funny with a Chinese gentleman.

One day Marjorie, aged three, wanted
to play doctor with her sister. Marjo
rie was to be the “doctor” and she
came to make a call on her sister, who
made believe she was sick. “Do you
want to know what you’ve got?” the
doctor asked after a critical examina
tion. “Yes,” faintly assented the sick
woman. “You’ve got dirty hands,"
said Marjorie, dropping in disgust the
wrist on which she had been feeling the
pulse.—BuiTdlo Commercial.
Experience.
It was Sunday afternoon and the in
fant class teacher was trying to im
press the children with the beauties
of the garden of Eden. “But, chil
dren," she said, “there was one thing,
in the garden that Adam and Eve-;
might not touch.” {
“I know,” said a little boy who had:
evidently had some previous knowl-*
edge of beautiful gardens; “it was poi- 1
son ivy.”—Harper’s.
