However there is no use denying the fact that this par ty is a strong factor in the world’s political make-up. It is growing very rapidly, and will no doubt play a con spicuous: part, in the future history of both continents. Flying the Alps. Over one hundred years a go Napoleon astounded the world by crossing the Alps with his victorious army in a fortnight. East I‘riday with the Aeroplane (the wonder ful invention of the twentieth century) Chavez, the daring, Peruvian aviator crossed the snowcapped Alpine barrier in forty minut s, beating bis own world’s record for height of <S27 1 feet. Starting at Brig, Switzer land, it was bis intention to follow the eagle’s route across the Alps to Domodossola, and thence to Milan, Italy, a dis tance of seventy live miles; the successful accomplishment of which would have entitled him to a prize of $20,000 off ered by the Italian Aviation Society. The Alps had been crossed successfully, and just as the plucky hero attempted to make a landing at Domodos ! sola, when about thirty feet above the ground, a sudden gust of wind seemed to catch ! the aeroplane, which turned I 1 over and fell. Both his legs were broken, i his left thigh fractured, and his body badly contused. His injuries, however, are not considered fatal, and unless unforeseen complications set in, his physicians think he will be about in two months. This is a wonderful age. What will ;m . hunored more years bring fortl'r? Will the next century be as far ahead of the present time as the twentieth century is in ad vance of the nineteenth? I What of America? She is I now able to feed the world. Far less than a hundred years, unless lu-r population is thinned by war, famine, or j some unforeseen calamity, she | will not be able to,' sustain ; her own people, judging from the enormous increase each decade is adding to her popu lation. Some scientists believe we have not reached the border line of civilization ; that we are yet living in the “Ikirk Ages,” as it were; that the future will bring forth won ders that would stagger the imagination to contemplate; that our present state of culture will be regarded as the unenlightened relics of a for mer age. We do not desire to live a an hundred years, but the thought comes to us, that from some corner of God’s great universe we should like* to he able to look down up on this old world and view the wonderful transformation. Latkk : The physicians were mistaken, kite dispathes from Domodossola state Chavez died at 2: GO o’clock Tuesday. Uncle Sam Gets After Mud- Si ingers. Criminations and recrimi nations, vituperation, person al abuse, and character assas sins seem to he the order of the day. The fair name of Georgia is not the only one that is be ing besmirched. Tennessee has just gone through a hot campaign culminating in Pat terson’s retirement from the gubernatorial race and the fu sion of the independent dem ocrats and republicans in the nomination of Hooper, the republican candidate. In South Carolina Feather stone, who, it was claimed, represented the best element, was defeated after a hot con test by Blease, a local option candidate. And in Mississ ippi the press became so vio lent and abusive that “Uncle Sam” threatened interfer ence in the interest of public safety. •Now what does all this mean, and where will it end? It seems that the time has arrived in this country, when the politician, using the press IN SHOOTING A RIFLE BUYING CLOTHES! IN BUYIf f<*r ./•« t«6 %. C. r*a SUITS FGRIBOVS-!

Liar scoundrel, thief, vaga bond, reprobate, and such terms are indulged in until actually a self respecting and honorable man fears to en ter the arena of politics. 'Fhe newspapers ought to quit publishing such rot. It not only antagonizes and em bitters the candidates against each other, hut also creates bitterness among their follow ers. Fine state of affairs, when the Federal government deems it necessary to notify the newspaper men of a Southern state, to tone down j their articles for the benefit of public safety. Some of our hot headed editors in Georgia better take warning. We believe in a free and untrammeled press, but discussions should be dig nified and parliamentary, and not descend to the low level of the “gutter snipe” and character assassin.

She writes: Our little boy contracted a severe bronchial trouble and as the doctor’s medicine did not cure him, 1 gave him Foley’s Honey and Tar in which I have great faith.
