HUMAN LIFE A MERE PAWN.
Som e historians have scanned the
years which span the space from the
beginning until now and insist that
the life of every nation and race is
marked in cycles which denote eleva
tion and on the contrary—degreda
tion.
Greece built a wonderful and great
country, but as she was nursed in the
lap of luxury her declining years
came. Rome arose on her seven hills,
reaching her pinnacle of fame for good
government, but corruption arose and
her government fell .carrying with th
deluge all her former glories and con
quests.
Rising out of the struggle for inde
pendence th e great state of Georgia,
was formed, and throughout the years
which have marked the progress of
the American people, she has consist
ently maintained herself with becom
ing dignity and proud honor.
But, we fear, there is another story.
Another chapter has been written, bu*
God forbid that it can be final. It is
no longer, “whither are we drifting 9 ’
but—“see where we are.”
Human life has become as cheap
add insignificant as to become a mere
pawn in the hands of a cool, calcula
ting mob. With all our law, with our
boasted motto, “Justice. Wisdom and
Moderation,” w e are not very far re
moved from the stage w'here man had
no law and demanded nothing save
the right of self-protection.
The officials of state, county and
city, in whom people reposed confi
dence, trust and their very existence,
have denounced law, blackguarded
officials, acquiesced in mob violence,
and, we do not doubt, took human
life in its very self.
Te lofty teachings of Christ are for
gotten. Faith, hope and chaiity have
been discarded for blood, disorder and
violence. The very stones upon which
the church of almighty God has at
tempted to exist are shaken. Some
of its members and officials took their
stand beside the shameful men who
countenance and commit those acts.
Preachers stand helpless, afraid to
speak their minds!
We would not arraign the church
for the conduct of some of its mem-'
bers, and officials, but we would purge
that Godly institution of its lecherous,
low and dishonored units. The ques
tion naturally arises is there enough’
good left to cleanse.
Twenty-five men cannot disgrace
Georgia. The good at heart and pure
soul of the state's citizenship must
decide. If we are unfaithful to the
trust there is but one inevitable re
sult. Posterity will be mired in the
muck of lawlessness and disorder.
It is not a time for condemnation
It is not a time for revenge. We should
say to the pure in heart to look in
pity upon the misguided. “Forgive
them, they know not what they do.”—
Greenrboro Herald-Journal.
TURKS HAVE IM FOR
GRANTED THEIR VICTORY
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 11.—Tak
ing it for granted that Turkey will
emerge victorious from the present
war, a number of prominent Turkish
newspapers have recently occupied
themselves seriously with the future
international relations of the Ottoman
empire. What the wishes of Turkev
are in his respect may be said to have
been ably epitomized in two leading
articles of the Tanin, a Union and
Progress daily with tendencies of its
own, even in these days of censorships
and governmental surveillance of the
press.
For reasons none too obvious, the
leaders of the Tanin coupled the ab
sence of the German ambassador, Ba
ron von Wangenheim. on a vacation,
and the temporary occupancy of his
post here by Prince Hohenlohe-Lang
enburg, with their study of the sub •
ject. The Tanin remarks that “Baron
von Wagenheim, through his work with
the Turkish statesmen, w’as an import
ant factor in the alliance (between
Turkey and Germany) now existing,”
and that “it would be too great a task
to enumerate the facts proving that
Baron von Wangenheim, owing to his
remarkable perspicacity, had come to
know Turkey in very little time.” The
inference is that Ambassador von Wan
genheim would during his vacation de
vote much of his time to a further
strengthening of the bonds between
Germany and Turkey.

DARK DAYS
Are Days of Suffering—They Are Be
coming Brighter for Some
Americus People.
_____ I
Many “dark days” from kidney ills.
Backache, headache, tired days;
Urinary trouble makes you gloomy.
Doan’s Kidney Pills have proven
their worth.
Have been tested by many kidney
sufferers.
They are endorsed.by Americus peo
ple.
W. A. Hardin, grocer, Elm Ave. and
Hill St., Americus, says: “I had se
vere pains in my back which were al
most unbearable at times. The kid
ney secretions were too frequent in
passage and highly colored. It was
told to try Doan’s Kidney Pills. I got
relief from the first few doses and I
continued using them until the pains
in my back left and the action of my
kidneys became regular. I have had
but very little trouble since.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Hardin had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
Props., Buqalo, N. Y. advt
Frank Reagan, publisher of tre
Henry County Weekly at McDonough,
has purchased and is now conducting
the Covington News. Here is a good
fellow with two newspapers, and there
are plenty of folks that can’t run one.
We are glad that Burns wrote “man
was made to mourn,” for it excuses
i
many mourning souls with just a head '
on their shoulders.
I “Whoever hates is not fit to lead,” is
the truthful truth as written in the
Alpharetta Free Press.
If it wasn’t for so many ambitious
politicians like could be passed fairly
pleasant.
