Bryan thinks Democratic
chances for 1912 are bright.
We hope so, hut don’t care to
risk the “Peerless” as stand
ard bearer. He seems to be
a “Jonah.”
The Agricultural Train is
a big success. It is being
greeted by large, enthusiastic
crowds throughout Georgia.
Our farmers are waking up to
the necessity for intensive,
scientific farming.
The reciprocity agreement
with Canada was ratified in
the H ouse of Representatives
Tuesday through the support
of an almost solid Democratic
vote. Only 5 Democrats vot
ed against the measure. This
scores another big victory ov
er the “stand patters.”
-
“Uncle Joe” Cannon is yet
in great evidence. lie was
the central figure at a dinner
given in his honor by Presi
dent Taft Tuesday night. It
seems the insurgents have not
been able to submerge him.
He is a strong character, al
though his political ideas may
be greatly at variance with
many of us.
Walter E. McNorack, for
mer attorney for the Inter
state Railroad Commission,
predicts that tne Interstate
Commerce Commission will
finally exercise control of all
commerce both interstate
and intrastate, and charges
that much of the railroad rate
legislation, passed by individ
ual states, was “vicious, cor
rupt, and dishonest.”
Senator Bailey, who, not
long since, was in the “lime
light” on account of his tran
sactions with the Standard
Oil crowd, is now using his
powerful intellect in defense
of Senator Lorimer in the
bribery case. He has made
sensational charges of forgery
against the Illinois State Bank
of Chicago, in which he says
Governor Doneen is inter
ested.
The regular army has adopt
ed anti-typhoid vaccination
for the prevention of typhoid
fever in the army. About
one seventh of the regular ar
my has been vaccinated and
it is pointed out that if it were!
required that all new recruits!
and re-enlistments be vaccin
ated, the regular army would
be immune to typhoid in three
years. Adi serious results fol
lowing over 1)1,000 inocula
tions in the army, the pro-!
ceedure is regarded as abso
lutely safe. The wonderful
developments in medical
science are proving a great
boon to the nations. It seems
that all the dreaded diseases
known to mankind will final
ly yield to his superior knowl
edge.
GOOD THINGS
“Say, Mr. Fanner, don’t you re
member three years ago, you
couldn’t get a doctor, you couldn’t
tell a thing about the markets, you
couldn’t have a social gathering,
you couldn’t have a talk with your
neigldsjr, in fact you couldn’t com
mune or converse beyond your
household, without stopping your
teams and losing a half, and proba
bly a whole day in riding in after
what you wanted.
“You don’t have to do that now
do you? No sir, you can just step
to the telephone. You don’t have
to stop your team, don’t have to
dress, don’t have to face the inclem
ency of the weather for 5, 10, or 15
miles, and say, did you ever sell
that load of produce before you
loaded it on your wagon? There
was a time when you couldn’t, and
your wife, life is not shut in for her
now as it once was, is it?”
Well, how did all this happen?
Why, Dußant being a telephone
man and Crowson a newspaper
man, and both Alamance enthusi
asts, they just yoked up together
and went for the backbone of the
county; viz. the farmers. They
talked, they wrote, they persuaded,
and then some of the farmers took
hold. “You can’t keep a good
thing down” and “once tried nev
er forgotten.” Then the farmers
did some talking themselves, just
ask (he hoys who has a tele
phone. Would you give it up,
Bill, for what it has cost you?
Where does Alamance stand in
farmers’ line development? “Why,
Bill, there’s no county in the south
that could hold it alight.” She’s
on a little mountain all her own.
Has the development stopped?
Well, 1 guess not.
We have four hundred and eighty
farmers’ stations in this county.
Three years ago we had practically
no rural telephone connection. And
we have just begun. The thing
hasn’t s'arted. The rural telephone
system in Alamance county is go
ing to he the biggest thing in it.
There has recently been connect
ed with the Burlington Exchange
thirteen new stations. Besides
these, are several other lines that
will he connected very shortly. Mr.
Farmer, are you one of that bunch?
Old Alamance, the Burlington
News, and the telephone, always.—
Burlington (n. c.) News.
Since the report has been
current that the whiskey men
were expecting the next house
to bring whiskey back to
Georgia it seems that Macon
is making a strenuous effort
to suppress the “blind tigers”
at that point. If she had
started this campaign earlier,
she probably would not have
subjected herself to such se
vere criticisms. But it is nev
er too late to mend.

cy will give a medal for the best es

RESOLUTIONS
On The Death of James Coody
By Cochran Lodge F. and
A. M. No. 217.
Despite tne barred doors and the
tyler sword, the agony and prayers
of loved ones the Grim Reaper crept
in and .kissed away the spirit of our
beloved brother, James Coody, on
Jan. 10, 1911. He became a mem
ber of Cochran Lodge in 187 —, and
so consistently and faithfully did he
serve the Craft that his absence
from the regular communications
was a matter of comment. He ill
ustrated in his life the broad sym
pathy and charity for his fellow
man so impressively taught by
Masonry.
Brother Coody was born in Jef
ferson Co.. Ga. in 1834, and re
moved with his father, while a
child, to Pulaski. In 1861 he of
fered his services to the Confedera
cy and became a faithful soldier in
Anderson’s Battery, and remained
in the army until Johnson’s sur
render at Salisbury, N. C. in 1865.
He engaged in agriculture and pur
sued his vocation with such enthu
siasm nod fidelity that he became
an inspiration to his community
and amassed quite a fortune. He
raised a large family and lived to
see them all started in life and
leading the lives of useful citizens.
Brother Coody was so orderly in
all of his affairs, his business was
so arranged that he had hut to wrap
his cloak around him , when the
summons came, and fall on Sleep.
Therefore, be it resolved:
In the (Igath of Brother James
Coody the community has lost an
honorable and wise counselor, his
family a devoted and loving father,
and Masonry a true and faithful
brother.
Resolved; That a copy of these
proceedings be spread upon our
minutes, a copy he furnished the
family, and a copy he published in
The Cochran Journal.
Respectfully submitted.

E. Cook, Sr.,
It. H. H. Coley,
Committee.
A CARD OF THANKS.
The parents and relatives of Mr.
J. 11. Overby, late deceased, desire
to extend their sincere appreciation
for the many kindnesses shown
them by their friends during their
bereavement.
"Eating Crow."
The term "eating crow" comes from
an ante-Uevolutlenary story. A soldier
of an English regiment stationed in
Virginia shot a pet crow belougTug to a
farmer. The la iter entered a coa*-
plaint with the colonel, who sentenced
the soldier to eat the crow. The farm
er was left alone with tbe soldier to
see that he did it After the soldier
had consumed a portion of the bird
he took his gun, presented it at the
farmer and told him to eat the re
mainder of the crow or he would shoot
him. This was the origin of the eat
ing crow story.
Didn’t Awe Him.
The members of a Greek letter fra
ternity from a southern university
were being shown through the library
of congress. They were apparently
stricken dumb with admiration of the
beauties of the building. But the at
mosphere of awe was dissipated when
one of the party, a red headed youth,
exclaimed fervently:
“Gee. fellows! Wouldn’t this make
a dandy frat house?”—St. Louis Re
public.
The Old Problem.
"This magazine looks rather the
worse for wear.”
“Yes; it’s the one I sometimes lend
to the servant on Sundays.”
“Doesn’t she get tired of reading al
ways the same one?”
“Oh, no. You see, it’s the same
book, but lf> always a different serv
ant.”
SPEEDY RELIEF FROM KIDNEY TROUBLE
“I had an acute attack of Bright’s
disease with inflammation of the
kidneys and bladder, and dizzi
ness,” says Airs. Cora Thorp, Jack
son, Mich. “A bottle of Foley’s
Kidney Remedy overcame the at
tack, reduced the inflammation,
took away the pain, and made the
bladder action normal. I wish ev
ery one could know of this wonder
ful remedy.” For sale at Taylor
