y' A few gallons of our North
Georgia moonshine liquor should
be seut^over to the Phi 1 ippino army
and after drinking it they would
whip each other and save the
States a lot of money.
A certificate of election was
given W. S. Taylor, the republi
can candidate for governor in
Kentucky last week. Some of
the state democratic candidates
will carry their cases before the
Senate.
If the 20 Senators who voted
against the prohibition bill knew
how little the worst liquor drink
ers in Georgia think of thorn they
would never again want to go to
the Senate, and if they did want
would be all.
Mrs. Charles II. Bloomiss, of
.\o>> tWfl" member 1 ' 771 “the
Colonial Whist club, died of heart
disease while playing a hand at
whist. Women whist players
must not allow' themselves to be
beoome too much excited over the
game.
A lady at Social Circle, Georgia,
has just married her fifth husband.
She has never been divorced, and
her first four husbands have died
natural deaths. The Walton News
describes the ceremony as being
“very interesting, it being her fifth
marriage.”
Secretary Gage has decided to
extend the period in which bonds
may be presented for redemption
under his recent stop to Wall
Street. Evidently that monetary
stringency, of which so much was
heard, existed more in fiction than
in realty, but what matters a few
millions when the Wall Street
contingent can be accommodated.
A quarter of a century ago
Charles Broadway llouss, t lie blind
millionaire, was imprisoned in
in New Nork for debt, it was an
honest debt, and Mr. Roues likt s
to tell about it as an example of
the workings of an absurd law
long since repealed. On the walls
of the Ludlow Street Jail may
still be seen the inscription he
then cut there: “When I leave
hero I shall be a rich man."
The latest official census of the
island of Cuba shows a populat ion
of about one and one half millions.

t j ()Ii t 0 III his is that, wo have not
enough Sum \ Schools in the
county, and t 1 j< i re .son is, J sup
pose, we i nt o migli interest
in this wot • Let us compare
the school population with the
lumber enrolled at Sunday
School. According to the census
of 1AIH ther nro 2,68 f J white
children between the ages of 6 and
IS years, ut kin from this the
Sunday School enrollment above
leaves 1044 children who do not
attend, or more than two thirds
of the school population. Think
of it, nearly 2,000 children who
do not share in the benefits and
blessings of this.,Sabbath teaching.
If Sunday School is a good thing
(and every one who reads Hie Bi
ble surely believes ii is) then
gome body is responsible for this
great army of ehildred not being
taught God’s word on the Sab
bath. Somebody is not doing
what, they ought to do in this
matter, and when I say some body
1 mean nil who claim to lie de
sciples of Christ and who faiLto
carry out his command. In sev
eral instances Christ honored chil
dren while Imre on earth, and in
what better way can we honor
Him now than in giving the bread
of life to those out of his fold
There is, 1 believe, no greater
work in which a Christian can en
gage, and one where visible re
sults are numerous. That teacher
who goes before his class each
Sabbath after earnest prepara
tion will doubtless see his class
as they advance in years also ad

Paul commended Timothy for
his knowledge of the holy Scrip
tures even from his childhood.
Ji' v.c do nothing more than to get
the children familiar v^th the
Scriptures in our Sunday School
work, we may feel well repaid, for
it is seed sown in che right place.
There is more to accomplish than
this however, for we could cite
many instances where soujs have
been saved through the medium
of Sunday Schools.
Let us wake up to our interests
and try to get others interested in
this grand work.

What Irony is This.
There is irony in the fallowing
extract taken from an exchange,
besides many tiuths pungency told.
It is addressed to the far ok Filipi
noes:
“You ought to know what, a good
thing you are missing by no\ want
ing to become a citizen yf this grand
country of ours. There’s nothing
like it under the sun. You pught to
send a delegation over here to see
us—the land of the free—tins land
of churches and 400,000 ')censed
saloons, Bibles, forts and gims-jliouses
of prayers, millionaires and paupers,
theologians and theives, chaiigangs, l^ertines
and bars, Christians and
politicians and poverty, schottls and
scala-wags, trusts and trampa’ virtue
and vice.
“A land where we have men in
congress with three wives atuia lotot
men m the penitentiary forjhaving
tw’o v ires, where some make sausage
of their wives, and some epf them
raw; where we make balgona^ausage
of dogs, canned beef of horsts and
sick cows, and eorspses of people
W'ho eat it; where we piy „„a hm~ in
jail for not*f.aviug the iiFniss of
support and on a rock pile for asking
for a job of work.
“Where w'e have a congress of
400 men to make laws and a Supreme
court of nine men to set them aside;
where good whiskey makes bad men
and bad men makes good whiskey;
where newspapers are paid for sup
pressing the truth and made rich tor
telling a lie; where professors draw
their convictions and salaries from
the same source; where preachers are
paid $25,000 a year to dodge the
devil and tickle the ears of the
wealthy; where business consist of
getting property in any way that
won’t land you in the penitenitary;
where trust hold you up and poverty
holds you down; where men vote
for what they don’t want, for tear
they won’t get what they want by
voting for it.
“Where women wear false hair
and men dock their horses’ tails;
where men vote for a thing ope day
and “cuss” it 865; where wo have
prayers on the floor of the National
Capitol and whiskey in the basement;
where we spend $5,000 to bury a
congressman who is rich, and $10 to
put away a working man who is poor.
“Where to be virtuous is to he
lonesome; and to be honest is to l e
called a crank; where we sit on a
safety valve of energy and pull wide
open the throttle of conscience; where
gold is substance—the one thing
sought for—and God a waste basket
for better thoughts and good resolu
t’ons.
“Where we pay $15,000 for a dog
and fifteen cents a dozen to a poor
woman for making shirts; where we
teach the “untutored Indian” eternal
life from a book and kill him with
bad booze; where we put a man in
prison for stealing a loaf of broad
and in congress for stealing a railroad;
Where the check talks, sin walks m
Oroal daylight, justice is asleep j
Crime runs amuck, corruption per*.- j
tncates our social fabric and satan!
laughs from every street corner.
“Come lo us, Fiilies! We’ve got
the grandest aggreation of good
things, big and little things, cold
flings and hot thing, soft things and
bard thing, all sizes varieties and
colors, ever exhibited under one tent.
Come to our arms at once!”
An editor pilots bis paper to give
his patrons the news of the day and
for the money there is in ;t. lie is
presumed to of what he writes, and
he generally does. When he writes
as he does in the Leader Courier,
Osceola .Mills, Pa., without fee or
hope of reward, that “Chamberlin’s
Cough Remedy acts magically, and
we have found none better in our
household. If you have a cough, try
it,” it may he accepted as an honest
expresion, worthy of credence. For

Out of all the Georgia Senators
there are only five who do not
drink. Who could have expect
ed anything but defeat for the
Willingham bill? .
