Plant peanuts and starve the boll weevil. Don’t get politics and cattle ticks mixed. The Georgia legislature will get in action on June 28. Williamjaybryan hasbeen bray ing at several Georgia chautau quas at about S3OO per bray. It is reported in political circles that Murphey Candler will run against Tom Hardwick two years from now. Macon is making a big noise about moving the capital. Wants it as an attraction at the state fair, possibly. There are candidates enough for governor to make a good poker game. Why not have a game and settle it that wav? Let’s see: Mr. Pottle, candi date for governor, is the guy.that put the roll in steam roller at the Macon convention two years ago. % To be up to date, South Geor gia, that is, real South Georgia, ought to put out a candidate for governor and make the thing in teresting. The Augusta Chronicle and Columbus Enquirer-Sun are among the larger daily papers supporting the claims of Macon for the state capital. Now that the hot season has arrived, see to it that the dumb animals are treated in a kind and humane manner. There is no ex cuse for the cruel treatment of dumb animals. If Teddy is not nominated at Chicago, we’re in favor of send ing him after Villa, for if he were to hunt that bandit as faithfully as he hunted the nomination, Vil la would have to crawl in a hole. A few years back Joe Pottle was a power in the ranks of the Populists. At the state conven tion in Macon two years ago he was a “Progressive Democrat.” Don’t know what kind of handle he has to his name bv this time.

Citizen. The Ugliest man in all the world Is Jasper Blue, we think; He makes his wife write shorthand- Ho as to save the ink. —South Georgia Progress. The stingiest guy we now recall Is old man Jimmy Rocks; He paints his legs above his shoes To keep from buying socks. —Savannah Press. The closest yap that we remember Is surely old Eddie Beecher; He always stays away from church To save paying the preacher. TAKE TIME TO REST The Dawson News. Life is too short to give up all to business and nothing to pleas ure and rest. Too many people defraud their stomach, head and heart until they have made a competency. When they expect to enjoy the pleasures of life they are generally too old, or their greed for money has dried up all the well springs of their being and they are incapable of enjoy ment. Devote your business hours to business and your leisure hours to innocent pleasure and wholesome amusement and the cultivation of such things as will make life pleasant. THE HOLIDAY PLAN The majority of the merchants and business interests of Jackson have signed an agreement to close for a half holiday once each week. It is regretted that the movement was not carried out unanimously. The holiday plan has much to commend it and is in line with modern conditions. Possibly all of us pay too much attention to business, take our work too se riously, and give t<So little atten tion to play. During the dull summer months, when trade is not very active, there is bathing to be lost by the plan. The half holidav plan has its disadvantages as well as its ad vantages. These can be overcome, however, and in a short while everybody will adjust themselves to the closing at 1 o’clock on Wed nesday afternoons. In taking this action Jackson is only getting in line with a large number of other progressive cities throughout the country.

A French professor says that he has weighed the human soul, and that it tips the scale at three ounces. There are some men, however, whose souls are so small that ten thousand like’em could play ring round-the-rosy on the face of a thin silver dime for ten thousand years with-out ever brushing against each other. They are the men who knock their home town. And a knock from the home town is to send elsewhere for work and goods that you could buy at home just as easily and. perhaps, more cheaply. If it is not too impertinent, how much does your soul weigh? THE REAL NOBILITY OF FARMING People used to think of farm ing only as an industry. Lately they are coming to realize the truth that farming is really (1) an industry, (2) a business, (3) a profession. An ‘industry’ is an occupation requiring manual effort of labor. A ‘business’ is an occupation requiring knowledge of buying and selling—financial transac tions. A ‘profession’ is an occupation requiring techical skill and know ledge—scientific training. The trouble with us heretofore has been that we haven’t laid j emphasis on the two last mention- j ed phases of agricultural effort. Too many of us have thought of farming as anoccupaion in which j all muscular effort counted, the | essentials to success being sum med up bv Josh Billings in the famous lines: “He who by’farming would get rich Must rake and hoe and dig and sich Work hard all day, sleep hard all nite, Save every cent and not git tite.” Fortunately, however, we are at last beginning to get a clearer understanding of the real situa tion. We are beginning to see that while farming is an industry —just as is digging coal in a mine, or cutting trees in a forest, or shoveling fuel into an engine, or keeping a piece of machinery going in a factory—yet farming is very much more than this. The miner, fireman or factory operative has nothing to do with the business side of his industry; all the purchase of supplies and all the big tasks of selling the product profitably are foreign to him. Moreover, for the miner or factory operative there is ab solutely nothing in his work to make it a profession. It does not call for scientific knowledge and training such as the success ful farmer requires in greater or less degree in a dozen branches — the care and management of soils; the feeding and breeding of plants and animals; the effects of various processes of fertilization, culti vation, rotation; methods of com bating plant and animal diseases, and a thousand other problems offering scope for knowledge of chemistry, biology, physiology, botany, and a dozen other scien ces. This is why farming is a nobler occupation, an occupation better calculated to develop ability, character, and all-round efficien cy, than anv other in which any great portion of the race is en gaged.—The Progressive Farmer. WHY m ARENERVOUS T 1 • I! :■-veils system is the alarm system of tiie human body. In perfect health vie hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is declin - ing, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches tiredness, dreamful sleep, irritability and unless corrected, leads straight to a breakdown. To correct nervousness, Scott’s Bmul . sion is exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment get 9 into the blood and “rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while i the whole system responds to its refresh ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol. Sect: & Dowue. Bloomfield, N. J. Consistency Is what counts most in a drug &ore.
