Carrollton, Ga., October2o 1910
A Pittsburg judge has ruled that
a man is master of .the house. In
theory this ruling will work, but in
practice—hardly.
The next State Reunion of the
Georgia Division of Confederate
Veterans will be held at Rome, Ga.
Quite a lot of interest is being
taken in the Free Press' Contest.
A number of contestants have been
nominated and i.are hard at work.
The names of the various contest
ants will .appear in next week's
paper.
The man who edits the average
country newspaper cannot well avoid
treading on somebody’s toes; must
expect to be censured often for un
intentional failures; must expect
hard work and little thanks; must
expect to be called a coward because
hd does not "pitch into” everything
that somebody thinks is ! wrong and
a fool if he speaks out too plainly
on public evils. He must expect to
grind other people’s axes anti turn
the grindstone himself. Still we
think it is one 'of "the noblest pro
fessions on earth, the one in which
the earnest man can do the most
good to his fellow man and in which
an honorable man can wield much
power for good.—Arcanum Times,
An exchange says;
"We apologize for all mistakes
made in former issues and say they
were inexcusable, as all an editor
has to do is to hunt news, clean the
rollers, set type, sweep the floor, pen
short items, fold papers, make the
paste, mail the papers, pay the
postage, solicit job printing, talk to
visitors, distribute type, read and
correct proofs, hunt the , shears to
write editorials, dodge the bills and
dun delinquents—we say that we
have no business to make mistakes
while attending to these little mat-
iers, and obliged to “turn a smiling
countenance to the man who tells
us our paper ain’t worth 75 cents
anyhow, and that he could make a
better one with his eyes shut,
Negro Shooting.
In a Tnegro row at the railroad
camp nearBowdon, last Tuesday, a
negro, named Howard Moreland,
shot another with a pistol, the ball
entering hisjleft side and it is thought
the wound will prove fatal.
Sheriff Garrett was notified and
hastened to the scene, blit the negro
who did thejshooting had escaped
Cure for flog Cholera.
Mayor Scott, of Moultrie, gives
the following formula for a prepa
ration which he guarantees to cure
or prevent hog cholera. He has
known it used for years without
failure in a single case. He has
known men who had tried it and
were conviced of its curative powers
The formula is as follows:
"Take equal parts by weight of
pulverized ginger, sulphur, pulver
ized saltpeter and black sulphuratte
of antimony. Mix thoroughly and
feed in a mash. One tablespoon
ful per day to each hog when sick.
As a preventive give from one to
three doses per week. If the hog is
able to eat it will save him."—Ex.
The legislature at its recent session
passed a law in regard to the run
ning of automobiles, copies of which
will soon be distributed by the sec
retary of the State.
Stripped of unnecessary verbiage
the law provides as follows:
All automobiles must be register
ed witli the Secretary of the State,
giving name of owner, make of
machine, etc., the fee for this being
$2. The Secretary of the State
furnishes the metal number which
must at all times be kept plainly
visible.
From one hour after sunset to
one after sunrise every machine be
ing operated must carry a white
light in the front that will throw a
bright light at least 100 feet, with a
red light at the rear that will illumi
nate the muchine numbers.
Machines must not be operated
upon the highways at a higher speed
than is “reasonable and proper," or so
to endanger life or limb or the safety
of property, and upon approaching
a bridge, dam, high embankmen
sharp curve, descent, or crossings
of intersecting highways or railroads
crossings, the machine must be
brought to a speed of not more than
six miles an hour.
Upon approaching a pedestrian in
a roadway or a horse or other draft
animal being ridden or driven the
person operating the machine must
give reasonable warning of its ap
proach, by the use of a bell, horn,
gong or other signal, and use every
reasonable precaution to insure the
safety of such person or animal; and
in the case of horses and other draft
animals, to prevent frightening them.
A person operating a machine
shnll on request or on signal by put
ting up the hand or other sign of
distress of person riding, leading or
driving a restive horse or other
draft animal, bring such machine
immediately to a stop, and if travel
ing in an opposite direction remain
stationery so long as may be reason
able to allow such horse or animal
to pass, and if traveling in the
same direction use reasonable cau
tion in passing sucli horses or
aninal, and in case such horse or
animal appears frightened, or the
person operating the machine is re
quested to do so, such person shall
cause the motor of the machine to
cease running as long as shall be
reasonably necessary to insure the
safety of others.
It is made unlawful for any per
son who is intoxicated to operate a
machine and no one under sixteen
may opeiate a machine unless said
minor shall have had twelve months
experience and must be accompan
ied by the owner of the machine.
The act provides that every
owner or operator of a machine shall
have equal rights upon the public
highways of this state with all
other users of such highways, and
no person or persons shall throw
glass, nails, tacks or other obstruct
ions upon the public highways used
and traversed by automobiles, or
unreasonably obstuct or impede the
right of travel of such owner or
operator while operating such
machine, and no person or persons
shall give any signal of distress
or danger or call for assistance up
on a person lawfully operating any
such machine on any of the public
highways of this state, maliciously
and without reasonable cause for
doing so.
It is against the law to operate a
machine without authority from the
owner.
The penalty for violation of the
law is not more than $1,000 fine, or
twelve months in the county chan-
gang, or six months in jail—one or
all in the discretion of the judge.

A Quaker Girl’s Yes.
A younger Quaker had been for
some time casting diffident glances
at a maiden of the same persuasion,
while she, true to the tenets of her
upbringing, had given him mighty
little encouragement, says the De
troit Times. However, one day the
opportunity of placing the matter
upon a more stable footing presented
itself to Seth, and he slyly inquired:
"Martha, dost thou love me?”
“Why, Seth, we are commanded
to love one another,” quoth the
maiden.
“Ah, Martha, but dost thou feel
what the world calls love?"
“I hardly know what to tell thee,
Seth. I have tried to bestow my
love upon all, but I have sometimes
thought thou wast getting more
than thy share."—Ex.

The “Trading" Rat.
Aii animal whose instinct teaches
it to give something in return for
that which nature lias taught it to
steal should he capable of a busi
ness education. A curious state
ment is made about the “trading”
rat, which is one of the unique ana
interesting animals met with in the
Rooky mountains.
Miners of the region declare that,
although these rats enter houses,
camps and mines and take things
that do not belong to them, they
never take an article without leav
ing something in its place. They
conduct a trade, and hence their
name.
They enter dwellings at night
and steal anything they can find,
carrying away spoons, knives and
forks, but invariably leaving a chip,
stick or stone in place of each arti
cle taken away.
Not Very Reliable.
The sages of the general store
were discussing the veracity of old
Si Perkins when Uncle Bill Abbott
ambled in.
“What do you think about it, Un
cle Bill?” they asked him. “Would
you call Si Perkins a liar?”
“Waal,” answered Uriele Rill
slowly as he thoughtfully studied
the ceiling, “I don’t know us I'd go
so fur as to call him a liar exactly,
but I do know this much—when
feed in’ time comes, in order to get
any response from his hogs he has
to get somebody else to call ’em for
him, ”—Everybody’s.
Case Proved.
“You aver,” thundered the black
browed bandit chief, “that you aro
the celebrated prima donna M’lle.
Squallina! Prove it and you are
free! Never shall it he said that a
Cuttawuzanda would offer an indig
nity to an opera soprano! It is
against all the tenets of the profes
sion !”
“But how,” wailed the captive,
“shall I prove my identity?”
“By singing, of course i”
“What!” shrieked the lady. “Sing
in this cave! No bouquets, no en
thusiastic applauders, and not a
cent in the box office! Never!”
“Gentlemen,” declared the ban
dit, “it is quite evident that this
lady is what she claims to he. Es
cort her to the nearest village and
set her free.”

There is an evaporation from the body going 011 continually, day and
night, through the ports and glands of the skin. ibis is nature s way of
nmmtaiuwig the proper temperature of our systems and preserving the soft
ness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from impur
ities no trouble will result. When, however, the blood from any cause
becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must be expelled, and
coming in cout. t with the delicate fibres and tissues with which the skin is
so abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and tlie
-fleet is shown by Ki/etna, Acne, Tetter, and skin affections of various kinds.
These impunties and humors get into the blood through a deranged or
inactive condition of the system ; the members whose duty it is to carry off
the waste and refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their work,
and this impure, fermenting matter is left in the system to be absorbed by
the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within the
system, but poisons from without,
such as Poison Oak, Poison Ivy,
Nettle Rash, etc., enter through the
open porea and glands, and so thor
oughly do they become rooted in the
blood that they are ever present,
or return at certain seasons of each
year to torment the sufferer. Salves,
washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure skin
diseases. True, such treatment re
lieves some of the itching and dis
comfort, and aids in keeping the skin
clean, but it does not reach the real
cause, and at best can be only palli
ating and soothing. A thorough
cleansing of the blood is the only certain cure for skin diseases. S. S. S.,
a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, made entirely of vegetable ingredients
of the forest and field, is the proper treatment. S. S. S. goes down into the
circulation, and neutralizes the acids and humors, thoroughly cleansing and
purifying the blood, and curing skin affections of every kind. It supplies
to the blood the fresh, nutritive qualities necessary to sustain the skin and
all other parts of the body, and rids the blood of any and all poisons. S. S. S.
cures Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Poison Oak and Ivy, Nettle Rash,
and all other skin troubles, and ernes them permanently by removing every
trace of the cause from the blood. Special book on Skin Diseases and any
medical advice desired furnished free to all who write.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA1
I have used your S. S. S., spring and fa!! #
for the past two years, with the result that it
entirely relieved mo of a form of Eczema
which my doctor was unable to cure. My
arms, lower limbs, and, in fact, the biggest,
portion of my whole body was affected, and
when I first began S. S. S. the itching, etc.,
was wo«se, but I continued the remedy with
the resJt that the dry, itching eruption en
tirely disappeared. I think a great deal of
your medicine, and have recommended it to
others with good results. It is the best blood
medicine made, and I can conscientiously
recommend it for the cure of all blood and
skin affections. CHAS. HORSTMAN.

no Accepted the Apology.
A prominent New York lawyer is
noted for his ready answers and
skill in repartee. When n young
practitioner he appeared before a
pompous old judge, who took of
fense nt a remark the lawyer made
criticising his decision.
“If you do not instantly apologize
for that remark, Mr. Blank,” said
the judge, “I shall commit you for
contempt of court.”
“Upon reflection, your honor,” in
stantly replied Mr. Blank, “I find
that your honor was right and I
was wrong, as your honor always
is.”
The judge looked dubious, but
finally said that he would accept the
apology.
