Poorest Man in the State.
Banks county wears the blue rib¬

state, and Spencer M. Smith, of Toc-
coa, found him. lie is so poor he
can’t afford a path to his house, and
so economical he makes his children
drink out of the branch to save
spring water. It is thought he is
closely related to the man who bor¬
rowed the money from one of our
‘ and requested him to
lawyers pay
the boy for bringing it back. It is
going a long ways to say that a law¬
yer ever had any money to loan,
which was true, and the poverty and
“nea.ness ,, statements are equu y

how large they grew. '
Ben Aderhold says he has a patch
so fine that he can’t dig them, as the

A FAMILY FUSS.
IJY ITXCJLK TOM.
(Continued from la,st week.)
The three months has elapsed, and
Sam steps out on terra firms, a free
man as to age. He calls to Tom and
tells he thinks of going to see his
brother and sister. Tom says:
“You had better see dad about
that, as you know he has always op¬
posed you going.”
“I know it,” Sam replies, “but this
is my birth-day, and I am 21 years
old, and he can’t refuse me now, as I
am free as him or any other man
when it comes to that, but through
respect for father I will mention the
fact to him before leaving.”
Accordingly Sam approaches his
father and said:
“Father, 1 think of going away for
a few days to see'brother and sister.”
“Ah, Sam, you cannot go. You
know I have always told you the
road leading to where they live is a
dangerous one, i)ml it will not be
safe for you to trhvel.”
“But, father, l am anxious to see
them, Yoq, knoypJt Ipts been a long
time, and besides,that l .have got to
make a.start-sometime in the world,
and as Well noiv As ariy time.”
“Sam, you iuh.4t consider you be¬
long to ine, and you cannot do as you
please. You will wait till you ob¬
tain my consent before you go.”
“Father, is there not a limit? Am
I not free by the law to act for my¬
self? Strange,' indeed, father, you
think to deep me bound down always
and never Jet me have any showing,
while you give Tom all the liberty
he desires without even asking you a
word.”
“Come, Sam, come ! Do not talk
so to me. I am the ruler of this
house, and my orders must be com¬
plied with. Talk about being free
by the law, what do you know about
law ? There is no law only as it is
| J decreed by me, and my law proper.” is that
yon shall not go till I see
j “Very well, father, I will not con-
! trary you; but as you protest against
me going, I will decline. But I wish
, to know whether you and mother
Jliave complied with my request to
look into the constitutionality of the
difference you have made between
myself and Tom?”
“Now, Sam, you want to get up
that same old matter again. I hoped
you would forget that and it would
go by with the past. I want to know
who has put so much mischief in your
head? What do you know about
constitutions and laws? You have
never been anything hut a regular
field hand, but now here you are
claiming to be free by the law, and
understanding laws and constitutions.
I suppose you will rise up one of
these days and pose as a great states¬
man.”
“Now, my dear father, what you
say I must confess to our shame re¬
flects more upon you than myself.
While 1 have had to work and toil
all the while to the neglect of many
things in the w ay of hooks, I have
not been idle. While j'ou have de¬
nied me the privilege of reading
many books, I have lost no time, for
while you, mother and Tom have
been sleeping, I have been reading
all the boolcs and papers that come
within niy reach, but the greatest les¬
son 1 have learned is from the book
of nature. I look upon the sun, the
moon, the stars, and even the plants
and trees, and I learn by the constant
unehangable course of the planets
there is a law governing them, and
this law is based upon a constitution.
In like manner is the plants and trees
governed, and if these all have a con¬
stitution and law to govern them,
then reason teaches there must be a
constitution and law to govern even
the people.”
“Well, Sam, tliat is enough.”
(To be Continued.)
The consciousness of having a
remedy at hand for croup, pneumonia
sore throat, and sudden colds, is very
consoling to a parent. With a bot¬
tle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral in the
house, one feels, in such eases, a
sense of security nothing else can
give.
The man who spends his money
for an office, g< neraliy makes the
