In probing the frauds of the Su
'gar Tru.-t, it develojied tiiat falsie
weights were not oniy used on the
government, Imt also on ship own
•ers. When an individual or eor
jporation goes to stealing they are no
inspectors of persons. If these
millionaire robbers were treated like
common criminals, and placed in
penitentiary or chaingang, where
they la-long these cases would lie
less frequent.
You let a sorry negro, or for
that m atter a white man, without
money or influence commit a crime,
it. (matters not how trivial and they
-will be very apt to suffer for same,
Sint whemone of these high handed
iwxbbers are caught stealing millions,
they are not even arrested, but turn
ed aloosc on tbe.ir own recognizance
■without even requiring them to give
iihond. In rare instances as in the
caise of Morse they sftlnetime get
into the toils and after they are
committed to prison, some thin
.■skinner Governor will pardon them
he fore they have served a third of
their time.
hook at the Cooper case. Old
man, Cooper was tried by a jury of
his peers, sentenced by the lower
court, the ease was appended to the
•highest tribunal in the State, and
the superior court judge confirmed
the decision of the lower court.
11c had the lest of talent to defend
him, and in the. face of all the facts
and (lie decision of the supreme
court judge, Governor l’atterson is
sued a pardon before he is even
petitioned to do so.
What is the matter with our
country? It seems we have plenty
of law, hut the law is not enforced.
Judge Speer states, that there has
.been between four and five hundred
receipts issued to parties in Bibb
county from the federal government
for monej* paid for retail liquor lic
enses, and in every instance the
party obtaining the license has to
make an affidavit that they were go
ing to engage in the retail liquor
business. The judge stated this
was prima facie evidence against ev
ery one of these people, An open
and flagrant defiance of the law in
this manner is out rageous, and
there is something radically yrong
somewhere When criminals can
ruthlessly defy the iaw without be
ing punished, our Initiated civiliz
ation seems a faree.
The first edition of the Georgia
Odd Follows publication was receiv
ed on our exchange table Tuesday.
St is exceedingly neat and attractive
in appearance and make up, and
contains interesting reading matter
for the craft. It is the offical organ
of the Georgia Odd Fellows, and
should he supported *by a liberal
subscription. There are thirty-five
thousand Odd Fellows in Georgia
and they are fully able to sustain
a first class paper, and we hope the
brethren will give it their hearty
support. It is published in Atlan

and Tolbert Strickland, manager.
The subscription price per single
copy is §1 per year; in clubs of ten

Religions intolerance is an awful
thing, and when it is combined
with race prejudice it knows no
limit. Late dispatches from Berlin
indicate that the expulsion of Jew
ish families from Kiev is going on
in the crudest manner.

It seems tlfht Eugene N. Foss,
the newly elected democratic repre
sentative from Massachusetts, a
former republican and a leading
manufacturer, will lie a factor in
national politics. He is firing
some hot shot into the “Stand
Patters. "Rather queer that a lead
ing manufacturer should he such a
strung foe to protection; especially
when we consider tie* fact that Mr.
Fuss is a representative manufacturer
in the steel and iron industry of New
England and there is a 4o per cent
tariff duty on these articles.

Mr. Isaac Cook, Commander of
above Post, Kewanee, 111., writes:
For a lung time I was bothered
with backache and pains across my
kidneys. About two months ago 1
started taking Foley Kidney Pills
and soon saw they were doing just
as claimed. I kept on taking them
and now I am free from backache,
and the painful bladder misery is
all gone. 1 like Foley Kidney Pills
so well that I have told many of my
friends and comrades about them
and shall recommend them at every
opportunity.” Taylor A Kennington
Fireproof.
Burning cinders, sparks, etc.,
will not ignite Roekalyte Paint, and
wherever it is used it will retard the
progress of fire instead of acting as
a fuel, as is the ease with most

Foley Kidney pills are antiseptic,
tonic and restorative and a prompt
corrective of all urinary irregular
