THINGS TO BE THANKFUL
FOR.
If there ever was a time for
clear thinking and sane living in
our day it is now. The world is
passing through a volcanic uphea
val, and while we are out of reach
of the flames and smoke we are
not beyond the reach of the earth
quake shocks. But we certainly
ought to be thankful and accept
whatever comes gladly. Our bus
iness affairs may be temporarily
disturbed and we may suffer a
small amount of inconveniece,
but what is that compared with
the woes whieh have fallen on
the unfortunate countries of Eu
rope? Poor Belgium finds itself
swept by all the horrors of medie
val conquest for no other reason
on earth than that she happened
to lie between Germany and
France. The blight of this mon
strous war—a war precipitated
by the selfishness and greed of
monarchs who still live in the
middle ages—has fallen on mil
lions of homes in France, Ger
many, England, Austria, Russia
and even far away China and
Japan. How many homes happy
and prosperous two months ago
are now black with sorrow and
the shadow of death! What count
less sons and fathers have been
snatched from their loved ones
with a swiftness and brutality
that is shocking beyond human
words, and what millions of moth
ers and children are left to face
a future which is all blackness—
a future which for thousands of
them is worse than death!
For us, who are left at home in
peace with our loved ones, to
complain about the slight inter
ruption of business or the slight
decrease in the price of things
we have to sell or the slight ad
vance in the cost of what we must
buy—for us to complain and wor
ry is simply childish and contemp
tible. If we should not be able
to sell one pound of cotton for the
next year and had to live abso
lutely without sugar, coffee and
other things which come from
abroad it would not kill us and
might do us a lot of good.
We can wear our old clothes
and for the great majority of im
ports now held up by the war we
can live without them. It is a
good thing for nations just as
with individuals to be forced
sometimes to stand on their own
feet—to live on their own resour
ces. Nothing so develops the
manhood and resourcefulness of
individuals and nations as to be
placed where it is a case of root
hog or die. When that time comes
every hog that is w'orth while
will get out and root up a living
somehow and be a stronger, bra
ver and better hog for having
stood the test of adversity, but
the few pusilanimous pigs who
willdo|nothing but squeal may die
and the world will lose nothing
when they are out of the way of
the vast throng who are willing
to face conditions as they come—
who are able and glad to fight
adverse conditions to the end.
For America and Americans the
future looms big with promise.
After this war is over we will
stand forth as the one great world
power whose hands are free and
whose strength is unimpaired.
Vast fields of new business will
be opened to us and if we do not!
profit by them it is our own fault.
The thing for us to do now is
to live sanely, simply and cheaply
—to save what money we can and
go about business cheerfully and
with thankful hearts. —DeKalb

MACON CONVENTION.
Words are inadequate to ex
press our opinion of such farce
conventions as the one just held
in Macon. If the will of the peo
ple is not to be considered why
have primaries?
This convention failed to nom
inate the man whom the people
endorsed by a plurality of both
popular and county unit votes.
It endorsed the wisdom of the
Tax Equalization Law and repu
diated the man who gave it to
them and nominated a man who
had fought it bitterly.
It endorsed the Parcels Post
and nominated the man who was
its most bitter enemy and was a
tool of express companies. It to
tally disregarded the national law
which provides for the nomina
tion and election of United States
Senators by popular vote. It was
a farce from start to finish and
was wholly dominated by fac
tional politics that would be less
than creditable to a bunch of
ward politicians. Douglas Coun

How To dive Quinine To Children.
FBBRILINE is the trade-mark name given to an
improved Quinine. It is a Tasteless Syrup, pleas
ant to take and doei not disturb the stomach.
Children take it and never know it is Quinine.
Also especially adapted to adults who cannot
take ordinary Quinine. Does not nauseate nor
cause nervousness nor ringing in the head. Try
it the next time you need Quinine for any pur
pose. Ask for 2-ounce original package. The
name FEBRILINB is blown in bottle. 25 cents.

BAILEY & JONES COMPANY.
REMEMBER YOUR LAST
DOSE OF CALOMEL?
You probably recall the bad af
ter-effects of the calomel more
than the sickness you took it for.
You need never go through with
being ‘ ‘all knocked out for a day
or two by calomel.”
Next time your liver gets slug
gish and inactive, we urge that
you go to Slaton Drug Cos. for a
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, a
splendid vegetable liquid medi
cine that will start your liver as
surely as calomel ever did and
with none of the after-effects of
calomel. It is absolutely harmless
both to children and adults and
demands no restriction of habits
or diet.
A large bottle of Dodson’s Liv
er Tone costs only fifty cents and
the druggists who sell it guaran
tee it to take the place of calomel,
and will refund your money if it
fails in your case or if you are
not satisfied, adv
10 CENTS PAID
FOR COTTON HERE
BAILEY £ JONES THE FIRM
Movement Started Here
This Week
10 cents a pound for cotton!
Announcement by Messrs. Bai
ley & Jones that they would pay
that price to customers on account
has created the keenest sort of
interest all over the county. The
news spread like wildfire and the
result is they are getting stacks
of cotton. The offer holds good
to the first of October.
Other firms are giving a pre
mium over the market price, but
this enterprising business house
was the first in Jackson to offer
10 cents a pound for cotton and
their action has been the sensa
tion of the local market so far.
