If You Want to See This
Town Grow.
If you want to see Jackson grow
remember that you are a part of it
and that its growth depends as
much on you as on your neighbors.
Don’t get the idea that the future
prosperity of the town rests with a
few, for it is the business of the
many. Above all, don’t criticise
those who are trying to uphold the
community and do nothing your
self. They at least have the proper
spirit, and just as long as you deny
them your support, just that much
harder their work will be.
He a booster for the town and
lend your co-operation to those who
had the nerve to start first. It is
never too early to start and it is
never too late to begin.
Wilson and His Beliefs.
President Wilson is going about
his work in a business way. lie
is not making any parade about it.
tie does not go to the front steps of
the White House and cry aloud and
say that he is going to work in the
good old Jeffersonian way. With
out ostentation or parade, he goes
into his office as a busy banker or
merchant would enter his. ,
bast Sunday, when he and his
wife started to church, he saw a
largo crowd of the ill-bred, vulgar
class 1 aed up at the church on the
street waiting for his arrival, lie
ordered his driver to go to another
church, where he was not expected.
He has cut out all the decorations
of the President’s box at anv then
ter ho mav attend. The “Hail to
the Chief" business has been called
off. He buys his own theater tickets
lie has put the President’s yacht,
the ' Mayflower,” out of commis
siott. That was used by the l’resi
derrt for pleasure jaunts and social
frolics. He says that if Iris official
duties call for the use of a vessel
he w.U call for one from the Navy
l)epa tiueut.
He also does not conform to pre
cedent in his wearing apparel, but
wears such clothes as suit hiiu.
He is doing none of these things
to attract attention and advertise
himself, lie is just bringing com
mow sense to bear on his private
aud official conduct.
THE DANGEROUS DEMAGOGUE.
The United States Senate rejected Georgia’s senior Senator,
A. O. Bacon, for the place of temporary president. Of course, all
good Georgians are sorry that her distinguished representative did
not receive the honor which he was doubtless due. However, the
blame for his defeat cannot be placed upon the shoulders of any
one mail or any personal grounds. Ihe Senate is being reorgan
ized along progressive lines, and the progressive Democrats de
feated Bacon.
Tlie Atlanta Georgian laid the blame of Bacon’s defeat upon
Hoke Smith. This paper supported its implications by no proofs,
merely stating that Iloke Smith, together with Senators O’Gorman
and Gore, were controlling factors in the Senate. The Senate and
Senator Tillman have since exonorated Senator Smith from any
blame in the matter. In fact, if the progressives had doomed
Bacon, it would stand to reason that they would not say anything
to Georgia’s junior Senator about the matter. This course would
save him from the embarrassment of working against his colleague.
However, the Atlanta Georgian saw a good opportunity to
“start something” in Georgia, and implied that Iloke Smith was
the mainspring in the organization which caused Bacon’s defeat.
But everybody knows Ilearst. In national politics he occupies the
same place that Thomas Watson occupies in Georgia politics. lie
wants to fight with tooth and toe-nail, and dislikes extremely to
back his argument with reason. Almost everyone was glad to see
the Georgian retract its own article on the following day, for there
are very few people whose eyes can be blinded by a demagogue of
llearst’s type. They listen with a species of wild delight at his
rampages, but are not convinced unless his statemens are backed
with facts.
Senator Smith is nothing if not a courteous gentleman, and
this fact alone would have kept him from working against his col
league; and the people of Georgia have doubtless taught the Hon
orable “Didmore” Ilearst that they are not so easily fooled as he
thinks, by the way in which his article against Georgia’s power
ful Senator was received.
Senator Smith has been instrumental in passing some bills
which will benefit the people greatly. lie has put through an
amendment to the national banking law which will aid the farmer
in getting money direct from his national bank. He is on the
most important committees in the Senate, and if the Honorable
“Didmore-” Ilearst wants to argue that he is a little man, he is
talking against the wind.
The Glory of Easter.
Kaster day comes to us clothed
with glory. Of all days in the
year, it is the most regal. A poet
has said that the bud that first un
folded at Christmas reached its
splendid bloom at Kaster.
'fhe cemeteries have many vis
itors on Kaster afternoon. The
quiet sleepers in God’s Acre are
not forgotten; they have never
quite left us. Only the mortal
part lies beneath the turf. The
soul of ethereal essence cannot
perish with the body. It comforts
our hearts to carry our gifts of
flowers and leave them on the
mounds under which our loved
ones sleep.
While we carry flowers on Kaster
to the church and the cemetery, we
should not omit to carry them or
send them to the sickroom, the
chamber of the shut-in sufferer
and the homes of the very pooi.
No one can walk through a crowd
ed quarter in the iworest part of
any town bearing flowers without
being besieged by the children of
the streets They hunger and thirst
for flowers, as sometimes they huu
ger for bread. An instance is re-
PRESCRIPTION v
For h Long Life.
This Is the prescription for a long
life given by an old gentleman in Con
necticut. who is ninety-nine years old
and still well and cheerful. “Live
temperately, be slow to anger, don’t
worry, take plenty of exercise in the
fresh air, and, above all, keep cheer
ful."
Should the system get rnn down —
digestive organs weak—the blood thin
and sluggish, take Vinol, which is a
delicious combination of the medicine
—body-building properties of cods’
livers, with the useless grease elimi
nated and tonic iron added. NVe re
gard Vinol as one of the greatest
body-builders and strength-creators in
the world for aged people.
Mrs. Mary lvev, of Columbus, Ga.,
says: “If people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, you would be
unable to supply the demand; it is
the finest tonic and strength-creator
1 ever used.”
We wish every feeble old per
son in this vicinity would try
Vinol on our agreement to return their
money if It laUa to fill® satisfaction.

Advice about Stomach Troubles
and how to relieve them.
Don’t neglect indigestion, for it
may lead to all sorts of ills and com
plications. An eminent physician
once said that ninety-five per cent of
all ills have their origin in a dis
ordered litomach.
Our experience with Rexali Dvs
pepsia Tablets leads us to believe
them to be one of the most dependable
remedies known for indigestion and
chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredi
ents are soothing to the inflamed
membranes of the stomach. Rich
in Pepsin and Bismuth, two of tha
greatest digestive aids known to
medicine, the relief they afford is
very prompt. V’sed persistently and
regularly tor a short, time, they tend
to relieve pains caused by stomach
disorders.
Rexali Dyspepsia Tablets help
Insure healthy appetite, aid diges
tion, and promote nutrition. As
evidence of our faith in them, we ask
you to try them at our risk. If they
do not give entire satisfaction, we
will return the money you paid us
without question or formality. Three
lizes, 25 cents, 51) cents and SI.OO.

STATE REUNION DATES
WILL NOT BE CHANGED
July 16-17 Will Remain as First
Announced.
The dates recently decided upon
for the state reunion of the Confed
erate veterans w-ill wot be changed,
but, as at first announced, the old
soldiers will gather in Brunswick on
J uly 10 and 17.
When these dates were announced
some weeks ago a request imme
diately came ;n from the state com
uiandei as well as from the camp at
Americas requesting a change,
pointing out that the dates of the
state reunion were too close to those
selected for the reunion of the Blue
and Gray to be held in Virginia,
The state commander argued that
many Georgia veterans desired to
attend both reunions, but with only
ten days between this would be im
possible, therefore the local veterans
were requested to postpone the state
reunion until October.
After carefully looking into the
matter, however, the local com
mittee which lias the reunion in
charge decided that to make a
change at this time would not meet

with the approval of a majority if
the Georgia veterans, that a moie
opportune and pleasant season could
not be secured for sucli a meeting on
tlie seacoast, therefore the original
dates will stand.
