Has anybody seen Prof. Snider?
Wonder who the kaiser thinks
the Lord is helping now?
The British seem to have dis
covered the punch at last.
The "Dorsey Whirlwind" is
the latest thing in state politics.
May be the sharks were just
investigating the new style bath
ing suits.
The Atlanta Constitution is
tooting the Dorsey trumpet loud
and lustily.
The legislative session is half
over. There will be no regrets
when it’s all over.
For a dead thing, which the
Atlanta papers claim, the capital
removal is a right lively corpse.
We see where Uncle Asa Can
dler is to run for mayor of Atlan
ta to keep alive the “Atlanta Spir
it”
Your Uncle Joe Hill Hall, of
Bibb, of “unconstitutional” fame
might do some pood in the legis
lature now.
May be if there were not so
many barbecues and frolics, the
legislature would be in favor of
biennial sessions.
At last Joe Hill Hall has found
something constitutional —he says
it is constitutional to move the
capital from Atlanta to Macon.
The first bale of cotton of the
1916 season in Georgia has been
sold, but what we want to know'
is how the grower managed to
pick a bale of cotton between
rains.
Governor Harris is proving he
is far from a dead one. As soon
as the legislature adjourns he
will begin an active campaign of
the state, making as many as
three speeches a day, he says.
The Hon. J. R. Smith, “Jack
son’s Own Native Son,” and fa
mous as a campaign manager, is
helping direct the Dorsey cam
paign. In the past, with one ex
ception, “Bob” Smith has always
managed winning candidates.
A good man is kind to his beasts.
The law properly punishes cruel
ly. When sentiment and care
for one’s good name do not re
strain theowner. business shrewd
ess at least should dictate great
er care for the stock as a saving
•f dollars and cents. Kindness
pays. —Columbia State.
THE VALUE OF TIMBER
It is certainly high time to
wake up to the value of the timber
crop. All over the country farm
ers have given away valuable
timber almost for a song. All
over the country forest fires work
shameful destruction, and men
who start forest fires go unpun
ished. All over the country are
forest lands yielding less than
half the profits they should yield
simply because the "stand” of
trees has been destroyed. Men
who would be ashamed to have
even a small field with only half
a stand of corn, cotton or tobac
co think nothing of keeping 50 to
500 acres of timber land on which
feckless lumbering has reduced
the stand to one-fourth what it
should be. We must learn that
timber is a crop just as truly as
corn or cotton—even if it does
take a little longer to mature—
and treat it accordingly.—The
Progressive Farmer.
EXEMPTION OF ENDOW
MENTS
There remains only the vote of
the lower house of representa
tives to exempt from taxation
the endowments of church schools
and colleges in the state of Geor
gia. We sincerely hope and trust
that the lower house will follow
the action of the senate and vote
to repeal the iniquitous law.
There could be no more impor
tant work accomplished bv the
legislature than to remove our
shame as a state, by removing
the tax on college endowments.
No southern state, excepting
Georgia and Florida, has such a
law now, and, as a Georgian, we
plead for the removal of our dis
grace in this matter.
The federal government refuses
to tax the property of colleges,
yet our state, since 1877, has
taxed the property of colleges, so
far as endowment is concerned.
Rightly, Georgia refuses to tax
the buildings, grounds and appa
ratus used for our colleges, but
wrongly puts a tax on endow
ments, and this wrong should be
righted by the general assembly.

Oh, no, we have too much sym
pathy for the Mexicans to do any
thing like that.—DeKalb New
Era.
EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is Quicksilver and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It’s mer
cury ; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put
into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out
and believe you need a dose of
dangerous calomel just remember
that your druggist sells for 50
cents a large bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone, which is entirely veg
etable and pleasant to take and
is a perfect substitute for calo
mel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and cannot salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes
you sick the next day; it loses
you a day’s work. Dodson’s Liv
er Tone straightens you right up
and you feel great. Give it to
the children because it is perfect
ly harmless and doesn't *r*ipe. *4

You can hardly wait—something big is

thing Chesterfields do for your smoking—
FI they satisfy!
