Leonard Wood declined the position

$30,000 per annum in order to go back
to Cuba on the scant pay of a soldier
and clean np the province of Santiago,

Wood eets of devotion to duty, of the
determination to do a thing when once
undertaken. We can well be proud of
Gen. Leonard Wood.
Secretary of War Alger has stiffened
his backbones and replied to tho nu
merous stories that be would resign.
He says lie has no intention of
resigning—which is a misfortune to
the people and the army- that he has
never retired nnder fire and does not
now propose to do so. It Is true the
record shows that be retired during
the war between the states when tire
was expected. The secretary in
timates that he is proud of his record
as secretary of war, which is more
than the people are proud of.

Call on Davenport for Pautber Creek
i Positive Headache Remedy. It is safe
nesday nud Thursday, August 2d and
3d. All horticulturists, fruit growers,
and progressive agriculturists are earn-
cstly and especially invited to send
sneb articles for exhibition as will
make the display of Georgia-grown
fruits, flowers, and vegetables credita
ble to the skill and progress of its
people.
It is earuestly hoped that there will
be a fnll attendance of members from
every section of the state, that concen
trated information and experience of
frnit growers may be obtained, thns
aiding tho society to perfect the sever
al catalogues of frnits and vegetables
adapted to each geographical division
of the state. Thcao catalogues are now
the recognized reliable guides for frnit
growers of Georgia, and have had a
most wonderful influence in developing
its fruit-growing interests.
Tho society was organized iu l*?o by
a few public-spirited eitizens who have
faithfnlly labored since to promote the
fruit-growing industry of Ueorgis and
aid iu the higher education of its peo
ple. They have paid with their purse
and person, not only freely giving
their labor, hnt paying for the publi
cation of its proceedings, which baie
been distributed free of charge when
over they could serve the aims of tho
society. The only revonno of the socie
ty is derived from the annual member
ship fees, and as this is limitied the
society is hampered in its scope.
The Southern Express company,
with its usual liberality and interest
evinced in the success of the society,
will carry free of charge all packages
of fruit, flowers, and vegetables intend
cd for the exhibition.

CHANCELLOR WALTER B. HILL.
The olection of Hon. Walter B. Hill,
of Macon, chancellor of tlie State Uni
versity, ia abont tho beat piece of work
the board of trustees ever put in. Mr.
Hill ia 0110 of the purest men in Geor
gia. Hc is a man possessed of a big
brain and a heart of pure gold. He is
able, (me, honest and fearless. He is
not afraid to do right, and what's bet
ter ho knows wbat right is. Mr. Hill
is a Georgian to the manor born. He
is an able lawyer of national reputa
tion. He knows the wants and needs
of our State University, and will be
fonnd doing all he can to build up the
old college and will bring her np to the
standard of other universities. The
Times-Rocorder congratulates tho trus
tees on their wise selection and the
University on its good luck in having
each a great and wiao man for eban-
ellor.
The horrora of life in the Philippines
appear to have no terrora for qnite a
number of the bloods of Georgia who
never did have a job ami couldn’t hold
down one if they were fortnnateenongh
t) get ono.
Aguinaldo has covered more ground
on foot than any living man.
Preparation for the coming state
fair to be held in Atlautn in October
next lias been going on with n vim,
and ns the time approaches the work
of pushing Georgia's great fndnstrial
exposition forward is assuming wide
spread magnitude.
This seems a splendid opportunity
for the club women of Georgia to show
their clever genius and well earned
ability by taking a lively interest in
the Woman's Department of this great
fair of 1HU9. They now have a unique
opportunity to put in practice what
they have been advocating for years in
their federation meettngs to pnt forth
their great influence for the good of
the women of Georgia by devising
ways and means whereby the indus
trious and overworked women of our
rural districts iu Georgia can corns,
bring the fruits of their labor and join
in making tho Woman's Department
the most attractive and creditablo in
tho state's- history.
There are quite a number of success
ful farmers among our Georgia women.
Some of them aro blessed with n rich
share of this world’s goods, nml can
look with pride on their broad fields of
waving corn and hundred of acres of
blooming cotton. They are farming
for pleasure as well us profit.
Past experience reminds us that
there is a great deal of solid comfort
and happiness to bo derived from prof
itable farming, thns communing with
nature where God, in His divine wis
dom, teaches some of His most won
derful and beautiful lessons. Rnt
there aro tboso of onr less fortunate
women who only see and’ experience
the rugged aide of this farmiag pic-
tare. Their daily labor is ono of stern
necessity inspired only by love, for
they most toil from snn until sun do
ing with all their heart, sonl and
Btrength their pait to make the little
farm on the old red hill side eke ont a
scant, honest living for their helpless
and often dependent families.
It is this class of Christian wornon
wo want to reach and help. May God
bless them. Their peaceful struggle
for existence ia as bravo and heroic as
the Spartan mother. Let them he led
out of the briar patches and shown the
paths to remunerative labor. Now’s
tho opportunity for the clnb women
and the press women to put into prac
tice their excellent theories so often
expounded from tho rostram. Let
them torn their talents, time and en
ergies to aid and edcoarage these
kindly souls by inspiring them to
bring to perfection their wares and
handiwork, fetching same to the state
fair, where they con make a proud ex
hibit of their honest labor, and have
opportunities to share in the list of
rewards which will come to every
faithful toiler who has tried to better
self and state.
I recall an instanco that happened
some years ago. I was very busy in
my office, mixed up in a miserably
knotty political fight that required my
every energy to try and manipulate for
my candidate. In the midst of this
turmoil I had a letter from a poor but
Woman’s Mission.
Successful compel it ion in any field defends on physical health.
I A 1A/ITYY T A questions about
\lx VI I 8 ] A woman's future
> .Ai*X£.L/AXxA\ aro constantly
a asked.
Shall women vote? Shall they practice law?
Shall they compete with men in every field?
W hatever woman's mission may finally be de
clared to be. It is certain that something
must be done for tier physical health.
Ignorance, superstition nml mystery sur-’
round woman's delicate organism. Heroic
efforts to endure pain is part of woman's
creed. Many women's lives arc a constant
struggle with lassitude; many are violently
ill without apparent cause, and few indeed
arc in normal health. 4
This is all wrong and might be different
if women would follow Hr. Hartman's ad
vice. Perhaps the most practical printed
talk to women to be found anywhere is in
Hr. Hartman's bool; called “Health and
Iloauty," which the Pc-ru-na Medicine Co.,
Columbus, (>., will mail free to women
only. It is certain that Dr. Hartman's
Pe-ro-na has proved a perfect boon for
women Vs diseases of the pelvic organs. It
treats them scientifically and cures them
permanently. AR druggists selt it.
■ " I received your book and commenced
the use of your medicine at once,*’ writes
Mrs. II. 1). A moss of Greensboro, Ga., to
l)r. Hartman. "I took five bottles of
Pe-ru-na and two of XIan-a-iin. I feel like a new woman. When I eoimnericed
taking Pe-ru-na I could hardly walk across my room; now I am doing my own
work and can walk to church. 1 shall never cease to thank you for prescrib
ing for tne. I hail lieert under the treatment of two doctors blit never received
any benefit until I commenced taking yonr medicine. I wish every woman
who was suffering as I was would send for one of your books. May God bless
you and spare you many years to relieve women who are suffering as 1 was.”
Fifty thousand women will be counselled and prescribed for this year free of
charge by Dr. Hartman, president of the Surgical Hotel, Columbus, O. All
women suffering from uny disease of the mucous membrane, or any of the
peculiar ill* of women, may write to him and the letter* will receive hit
personal attention, c Write for special question blank for women. a
ple-l mv forgiveness b r troubling me
as she bad never met me, but stated
that she bad forty pounds of fresh but
ter to sell and couldn’t find a market
for it any nearer home, ami urged me
to make an immediate sale for her,
stilting she was iu groat need of the
money to | urcknso a young dangbter's
modest trousseau for her commence
ment, which day was near at hand. In
the great worry and rush of work,
which it didn’t seem possible for me
to accomplish in (he time allotted, the
temptation was great to pnt the letter
aside unnoticed, hnt I looked at it
again and discovered tear marks on
the otherwise neatly penned pages. A
rush of thoughts came over me which
Idid not and conld Dot resist. I pnt
myse'f in that anxious, loving mother's
place, nml for tho time being all other
matters wero sidetracked, and in less
than an horn s time the butter was
sold and a check for the money on the
way to mako happy that mother’s
heurt. A letter came soon after telling
me the great joy of that household,
which was worth more than tho credit
of a hundred meaningless political
victories, even if credit should ever be
given for such. I could go on nud
mention scores of minor instances of
the kind, bnt they come simply as a
pait of my every day life and can be of
no possible public interest.
Now in all truth there soems n great
work ahead for the progressive women
of Georgia to take np and carry to suc
cessful operation. Will they do it?
They can if they will. I am proud to
note that there has never been a state
fair or an industrial exposition held in
Georgia lint that Sumter county made
a most creditable exhibit of frnits, veg
etables, farm products and a hundred
other articles too nnmerons to mention,
capturing many money prizes of value.
Much of the credit for this good work
most be and has been accorded to a
woman, M ss Mollie Rutherford, one
of Snmtcr connty'ajmost industrious,
cultured and energetic women. Miss
Rutherford is a genius of the most
kind. There is uothing on the farm
she canuot create into usefnl and
beantifnl designs, which has given
Sumter county ranch of bor reputation
in state agriculture and horticultural
history. Sho has invented a model
cake pan, which certainly takes tho
cake for beauty, shape and excellence
in its baking qualities, ami what's more
Miss Rutherford treated bor friends to
frnit cake Christmas baked in this pan,
and every ounce of frnit, wine, ingre
dients, etc. in tho cako was a product
of her farm. The cako was delicious
and conld not have been told from
that furnished by a city caterer. Want
of means and facilities alone prevents
Miss Rnthcrford from measuring np to
the most successful and advanced wo
men farmers of the great West.
Would that the county officials of
each connty in Georgia might be em
powered by law and a personal wil
lingness to belp along such deserving
women, for they can be found all
through Georgia. Let the club women
seek out these deserving sisters and aid
them in commg'to tho state fair with
an exhibit which will reflect credit on
the Eui} ire stato of the South and
Georgia womanhood, which has never
been found wanting in any emergency
or duty she was called upon to perform
whethcrjthat be iu the dai kest hours of
adversity or the heyday of the state's
prosperity. M.uuc Loii.sk Myiihk.

A lover of good corn, writing to a
New York paper, wants to know the
proper;;way of catirg corn on the cob.
His tnellieil of tnling it is this: "I
pick np the car with both hands, one
at each end; I hnttor two or three rows
nt a lime ;nnd put on so much salt as I
want, and then l pick up the ear and
bite cfi'the rows of kernels that I havo
thns prepared. Then I pnt one end of
the ear down and fix the next two or
three rows and eat them in the same
manner, andso;on.” And hc asks is
this correct. Unhesitatingly yes.
Some fastidious people might say it
resembles a rat gnawing n crust of

never get the real enjoyment out of
