Kaiser Bill is likely to sink one
ship too many one of these days.
The revivalists are shaking up
Atlanta. That place needs sha
king as much as any we know of.
What if Editor Anderson’s pig
should turn out to be a typical
South Georgia razor-back after
all this publicity?
It is all right to hope for con
tinued peace but the way things
are going now Uncle Sam had
better his powder dry.
Beware of the fakirs. They

Savannah is after cheaper gas.
If she could confine some of the
gas being wasted on that new

cheap enough.
Bv the by. it is nearly time for
Editor Blood worth, of Forsyth,
to begin writing about the sweet

According to the United States
department of agriculture Geor
gia spends $26,075,000 annually
for wheat, oats, corn and hay.
That is a lot of money and ought
to be kept at home.
By the way, when you feel like
knocking your home paper, pay
up vour subscription and see if
you don't feel better.—Griffin
News.
It is the man who owes you
that does most of the knocking,
as a rule.
Says The Tallapoosa Journal:
It is peculiar that a man who
owns a bunch of cattle or hogs
will go out to look at them every
few days, but not once during
the year will you catch him at
the school house where his chil
dren are being educated.
Yet we can’t keep from won
dering what effect a few regi
ments of Georgia crackers, Texas
rangers, with a liberal sprinking
of Irishmen, under a leader like
Gordon or Jackson, would have
on the foreign fracas. They
would be heard from, at least.
Of the eight thousand ways to
kiss a pretty girl we’ve never
seen the good old fashioned way
equalled.—Griffin News.
Do pass on your recipe to Ed

IT’S A TIME FOR SPUNK
AND GRIT
The pure grit shown by the
people of the South in 1865 looms
larger as the years come and go.
When the folks were left without
food, when an army had left the
country so bare of food that a
jaybird flying across it, had to
carry his rations, the people put
up no appeal to the nations of
the earth for help. Mothers went
to where the horses of the inva
ding army had been fed, gather
ed up the grains of corn trampled
into the mire, washed it and had
it ground and made bread from
it—but they never made an ap
peal for help nor plead at the
door ot charity that they were
paupers.
They left beautiful homes or
the ashes where these homes had
been, and went to live in log
cabins. But they never whined
or asked alms. They were grit
through and through, these our
foreparents were, and they never
even winced nor cried aloud.
Their sons and daughters should
not let a war 3,000 miles away
cut the grit from under them, al
though it has cut the price of
cotton in two and has brought a
temporary financial depression to
this country of ours. Exchange.
Figures show that Georgia has
170,000 more acres planted in
wheat than the previous year.
This is a percentage increase of
118. The state has an increase
of fall sown oats of 328,000 acres
or a gain of 96 per cent. Bully
for Georgia. And Butts county
has her share of this good gain
in these important food crops.
This is one year the people are
going to buy with an eye to bar
gains. It is the time of all times
for the business man to keep up
his advertising. The advertiser
who keeps eternally and ever
lastingly at it this year is going
to get the greatest results of a
lifetime. The race is to the swift,
the battle to the strong. Let the
timid stand from under. Don’t
haul down the advertising flag.
When is a progressive not a
progressive?—Butts County Pro
gress.
After he gets elected to the
United States senate and joins
the bolters.— DeKalb New Era.
Earlier than that. As soon as
the returns are in.—Macon Tel
egraph.
Now that you have tagged them
it is hoped the “dear people’’
will keep track of these four
flushers in the future.

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Adis like dynamite on a
Sluggish liver and you
lose a day’s work
There’s no reason why a per
son should take sickening, saliva
ting calomel when 50 cents buys
a large bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone—a perfect substitute for
calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable li
quid which will start your liver
just as surely as calomel, but it
doesn’t make you sick and can
not salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take Dodson’s Liver Tone, be
cause it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug.
It is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty cal
omel today and you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated tomor
row. Don’t lose a day’s work.
Take a spoonful of Dodson’s Liv
er Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bil
iousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coated tongue or
sour stomach. Your druggist
says if you don’t find Dodson’s
Liver Tone acts better than hor
rible calomel your money is wait
ing for you. ad.

Resolutions on Death
of Mr. C. S. Maddox
The death of Mr. C. S. Maddox,
our county school superintendent,
was received with much regret
by his many friends all over the

loved by all who knew him.
We can never have another
superintendent who will be held
in higher esteem among the
schools. Our school among the
other schools of the county will
sincerely miss Mr. Maddox among
our schools.
