Home institutions first, last and all the time. Cotton is going up. Let her rise till she gets sky high. The legislature has not been very friendly to new counties this session. The newspapers are commend ing Governor Harris for pardon ing Stripling. The mosquitoes drew the first gore in the fight with the soldiers at Camp Harris. The legislature will adjourn next week. In many respects it has been a stormy session. Gosh, if they get to naming flivvers like Pullmans, somebody will have to invent anew alpha bet. The paper pirates, trusts and monopolists are now squeezing the printers of the country to the limit. Some of the gubernatorial can didates having claimed every county in Georgia, will now prob ably run in Alabama. With paper jumping from S4O to SBO a ton. life is not all roses for the editor these days. And they tell us the worst is vet to come. Haven’t heard much about the “Fighting Fifth” recently. Probably got worsted in the bat tle with the Camp Harris mos quitoes. From the wav the other can didates are lambasting Dorsey, they evidently think the man who beats the Atlanta solicitor will be the next governor. Reliable reports state Governor Harris is gaining ground steadily. When the legislature is over and he can get out among the voters look for the fur to fly. Do you suppose there is any connection between the big rains and the gubernatorial oratory? Have read somewhere that the firing of big guns might produce rain. THE THREATENED STRIKE Somebody, some how ought to be able to prevent the threatened railroad strike. Such a strike woul ! tie up all the principal railroads in the country, and would absolutely paralyze busi ness for the time being* Such a condition would be worse than a state of war while it continued. It ought to be impossible for any body of men, whether capitalists or laborers, to bring about such a strike as the country now faces. Every factory, every cotton mill, every industry in the coun try would be affected. Unable to secure coal or to ship their products to market, these indus tries would be compelled to close down and thousands of men would be thrown out of employ ment. If there is any way to prevent such a strike it ought to be done. “The Only Respectable Dis ease Is Old Age” Dr. Harvey W. Wiley speaking in Kansas City recently said that old age is the only respectable disease to die of. ‘‘Hardly one hundred of you* here to-night will die of old age, ” Doctor Wiley said, “tlie only re spectable disease of which man may die. The rest of you are going to die before your time. “I mean it. You men are burn ing yourselves up with tobacco and business cares. You women are trying to shorten your lives by drinking tea, dancing the tan go and playing bridge. “Distresses that could be avoided are going to carry you off. You wait for an ache before you go the dentist. You ought to go twice a year. The dentist will find a cavity or he will pre vent one from coming. Every tooth is worth SI,OOO. “The average life is 44 years. Why, a man is just getting into his best years then. Just getting where he can pay back a little interest on the investment he has cost. It is not unreasonable that the average life should be ad vanced to 88 years.”—Ex. We notice that some of the candidates have spoken so much that they have sore throat. But haven’t heard of the populace yelling to the sore throat stage. The prospect now is that pro hibition will be drawn into every political campaign’for generations to come. The law ought to be enforced and some of the agita tors gagged. The thrifty farmer who has money in the bank, has a farm that tells you about the character of the owner the minute you come in sight of it. Such a man has long since learned that the fence corner or under a tree is no place for an implement not in use. Such seemingly little things added to other like little things make the big things that deter mine a man’s success or failure. —The Progressive Farmer. Scoffers Pay The Penalty Those who ignore warning signals of disordered kidneys and scoff at dangers of serious consequences often pay the penalty with dread diabetes or Bright’s disease.
