When the system is in this run-down and disordered condition it is not safe to take unknown concoctions, sarsaparillas, compounds, etc., because thev usually contain potash or some other equally strong and harmful mineral ingredient, which acts unfavorably and often dangerously on the depleted, weakened system at a time when it needs gentle and natural stimulation to throw off the impurities and recuperate its lost energy.

Harsh words have been described as two edged swords, Injuring both the user and the person at whom thfey are aimed. The temptation to say cutting things l'i strong within us and the slightest provocation Is often apt to furnish the desired -r'use for the use of words that sting and rankle tn the.memory. The satisfaction derived from Inflicting a pain Is so keen with some persons that It completely outweighs all other considerations. Past friendship, present association, future probabilities; all these are forgotten or wilfully discarded for the fleeting pleasure of thrusting a few keen cutting sentences that will make the victim wince. Some-men—and women,also—seem to gloat over such a doubtful joy as though It was the sweetest that earth could afford. Says Will Carleton In his "Settler's Story:” “Boys playing with kites can haul in their white-winged birds, But you can't do that when you play with words.” That simple ballad is one that every person inclined to the use of the tongue as a lashing weapon, or for the saying of those meanly vindictive things that savor of the diabolical spirit of petty revengo and hatred, should read. No meaner caprice seizes on a hu man b'eln than that of deliberately grounding another in such a'fashion. Oftentimes it 13 done with a half-re vealed malice that makes its injury even deeper and harder to heal. Some times It Is Just a passing bit of anger, the outward evidence of a ruffled spirit. But In either case It leaves an indelible .impression. Words spoken In anger may be forgiven, It Is doubtful If they are ever entirely forgotten They cling to the memory with unending pertinacity. "A wound given by a word is oftentimes harder to be cured than that which Is given by a sword,” wrote Sir Henry Sidney to his son Philip, that beau ideal of the Christian knight and true gentleman, whom he was advis ing, with all a father's love and wisdom, as to his course In life. Long ex perience as a courtier had shown Sir Henry the folly of such a misuse of the golden gift of speech. Not that he would have had hl3 son stay his tongue in the presence of evil or of wrong, not that he would have had him silent when there were abuses to rectify, or evils to be routed, but he yearned for him to exercise that self- command which Is greater than any other human attribute and withhold the needless words tlfat satisfied a passing spleen at the expense of a comrade's feelings. He still held in high esteem "the ancient courtesies of speech.” Many a friendship has been permanently broken by a misuse of words In such a fashion. Oliver Wendell Holmes well says that friendship does not authorize one to say harsh or disagreeable things to an Intimate. Leave that to others who are outside the magic circle of affectionate regard. Those who may have a reason to dislike, or those who have no reason to withhold, can always be depended on to say sufficient unkind things without friends assuming thajt prerogative. Suppress the inclination to say harsh things, or to say things that, under the cover seemingly brightness, unnecessarily rasp the feelings of others. It is far better not to proVoke the admiring smile or the laughing approval over your witticism than to afterwards realize that you have alienated in some degree a friend or even acquain tSnce. Our destinies are so inter mingled in this world that no one can predict the relationship into which we will be brought with others In tho future. It Is best for all concerned not to have to encounter the memory of stinging words when the time comes for closer associations in business, or social, or religious life. Better far to go through life seeking to make It brighter and sweeter than to act the part of a barbed and poisoned arrow. -j- q THE GEORGIA SCHOOL TEACHER. £q ygy ggy jjp WITH A LAME BACK ?

Never before has It seen the crops of cotton now whitening in the fields of Sumter and adjacent counties, in a position where they would command probably an average of twelve and a half cents a pound, perhaps even thirteen] While the crop hereabouts will not be as large ag was anticipated, It bids fair to be an average crop at least, and many believe above the average both In yield and In quality. Sumter county Is already the second cotton county of Georgia. It Is not at all improbable that this year the distance between It'and Burke county, the first In cotton production In this state, will be decreased. If not overcome. The time Is not far distant when Sumter will have the proud honor of being enrolled at the top of all the cotton counties > of Georgia. With a good crop and the highest price, on the average, ever received, how can Sumter be other than prosperous. And with Sumter and Its sister counties of this section prosperous Amerlcus must likewise be prosperous. The business men of this city have shown their confidence In the future by their broad preparations to meet the Increased requirements of trade that naturally come upder such conditions as we are now facing. Old residents state in no past year have there been such Improvements in the mercantile establishments of the city as have gone on during the past few months. New stores, of a superior character, confront the visitor; old stores have been, or are being, remodeled, and the stocks of goods carried this fall and winter will exceed in quantity and quality anything ever known before in this city. It Is gratifying to record such signs of the time, to point out with satis faction these evidences of the prosperity that haa Come upon his section, come, we believe, to stay. Sumter county Is destined to go steadily onward. Its crops will become greater year after year, and of more value And as it developes Amerlcus will develop. With such a country behind it this city could not stand still if It would. And with enterprising merchants such as Amerlcus has. with Its business men fully alive to their opportun ities and exerting themselves at all times to meet all possible needs of their patrons, there Is no reason to fear that this city will ever lose the position which it now holds. Why does sljp wear outlandish hats! Why does she scream at mice and rats?

One might infer from this that Atlanta haa heretofore been ah unsafe place to live in It the Governor had known that Hon. Pope Brown would give such reasons for declining the position of railroad commissioner he would never have tendered him the place. That’s certain.

[TOBACCO Really, when you come to think of It, Judge Parker may be the Ideal candidate. He simply couldn't make a worse race than he did tn 1904. and might possibly get a few more votes. “There Is a lull among ^he reform ers” says the Valdosta Times. Getting more wind for the next radical move, perhaps. Even the Georgian acknowleges, that "The only fellow who pays full value for his' railroad pass Is the newspaper man, who Invariably gives a little more In advertising than he gets in transportation.” Isn’t this a change in front to please the brethren'of the weekly press, who have been doing a little thinking about the pass question of late with out regard to how certain Atlanta organ feel?
