All flour seems to be of the self-rising variety these days. Nat Harris has made good as governor. Why turn him out? The legislature is being abused as much for what it failed to do, as for what it did. Cotton was 8 cents a pound this time last year. Now it’s 14. Brace up and smile. Macon will have to wait a year at least before becoming the cap ital of the Empire State. Judge Dick Russell and Tom Bell are having a hot race for congress in the ninth district. Congress will adjourn by Sep tember first so the spellbinders can get out and save the govern ment. Candidate Hughes is making a lot of noise. But Woodrow will take the wind out of him on elec tion day. Augusta wants the government nitrate plant and Macon wants a land bank. Here’s success to both of them. Your Uncle Joe Hill Hall is a candidate for the legislature in the State of Bibb. Here’s suc cess to the doughty old warrior. Congressmen J. \y. Wise of the sixth and Carl Vinson of the tenth district will be returned without opposition. In all the other districts there is a merry scramble on for the honor of rep resenting the dear people. Well, the gubernatorial cam paign is taking on some snap and promises to be full of thrills from bow on. Governor Harri* is pro ving that he is not too old to de fend his administration in a most vigorous way. The butchers of Atlanta are buying up the old worn out cab horses. They will be cut up in to fine steaks and served to the people. Rome Tribune-Herald. News to us. But if it is true, anaybe it accounts for the way the legislature has been acting. It may be that mule meat will cause people to make jackasses af themselves.—-Dalton Ditizen.

When published these principles have always been found impressive and of universal usefulness and application. Take, for example, Marshall Field’s “twelve things to remember,” viz: “The Value of Time.” “The Success of Perseverance” “The Pleasure of Working.” “The Dignity of Simplicity.” “The Worth of Character.” “The Power of Kindness.” “The Influence of Example.” “The Obligation of Duty.” “The Wisdom of Economy.” “The Virtue of Patience.” “The Improvement of Talent. ” “The Joy of Originating.” Hon. J. W. Wise is to be con gratulated that he will be return ed to congress this year without opposition. His friends and vo ters generally believe he is enti tled to a second term as an en dorsement. It is the consensus of publicly expressed opinion that Judge Bartlett made a wise de cision in refusing to run at this time. Every pint of whiskey a man drinks shortens his life by eleven hours, declares an eminent tem perance lecturer, all of which isn’t true. We can take a pencil and show by figures that if every pint of licker a certain fellow in this county has consumed had shortened his life eleven hours he would have died nine and one half years before he was born.— Greensboro Herald-Journal.

Women’s Woes Jackson Women Are Find ing Relief at Last It doos st'em that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must ‘•keep up,’’must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to Stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Keeping the kidneys well has spared thousands of women much misery.
