We hope Atlanta will get her
new million dollar pout office.
Atlanta is a hustler every day in
the year.
Mrs. A. H. Shaver will continue
to run the Jackson Argus and the
press of the state wish her abund
ant success. She will deserve a
liberal patronage from her city

An Immense War Gun.
The largest and most powerful
weapon of destruction in the world
has been placed at Sandy Hook as
a protection to New York harbor,
and its proving test has convinc
ed experienced army officers that
it is a success and will do all that
is claimed for it. This immense
war machine is the 10-inch coast
defense rifle that was tested on
last Saturday.
The projectile hurled by this
immense gun weighs 2,400, and
can be fired for a distance of twen
ty-one miles. It can be sent a
mile high and then dropped upon
the selected victim. The charge
of smokeless powder required
weighs 040 pounds, and it cost
SIOOO a shot tc lire the big gun.
The steel boring projectile goes
through the rate of 2,000 feet a
second —u mile in less than three
seconds.
The charge of powder ÜBed is
the largest ever before placed in
any gun, but the big gun behaved
remarkably well during the re
cent test, and the designers were
well pleased with the results ob
tained.—Griffin News.
Bartlesville Afflicted Also.
The following article shows that,
Albany must be troubled with the
chronic kicker too, judging from
the tone of the writing. She has
our deepest sympathy in her af
fliction :
“There are a lot of people in
this town who are meddlesome.
They are never contented unless
they are prying into affairs tha
don't concern them, and poking
their noses into other folks' busi
ness. Some of these fussy and in
trusive characters probably mean
to be perfectly honest and truth
ful. They won’t exactly take
your money, but some of them
will injure your character, which
is infinitely worse. They inter
fere with your comfort, they are
officious in giving advice, and t hey
make comments where they are
not called upon to speak at all.
The homely proverb about mind
ing one’s business is rather rude,
but there is a good deal of good
sense oontainined in it, and it
would be well if it were more gen
erally heeded.—Albany Herald.

TEA GROWING IN EXITED STATES
The United States Department
of Agriculture has been carrying
the work of introducing tea cul
ture in the United States. Experi
ments conducted at Pinehurst,
Summerville, S. C., in co-opera
tion with Dr. Charles U. Shepard
have yielded interesting results.
Dr. Shepard now has at his place'
100 acres in tea gardens. His fact
ory is well equipped for carrying
on the work on a commercial
scale and for accurate scientific
experiments. The yield of tea in
Dr. Shepard’s gardens last year
was 4,500 pounds. For JiXtA,
there were 0,000 pounds of mar
ketable tea. Some of the gardens
have proved very prolific and
profitable, while others have given
yields of tea of pure quality. A
tea farm is soon to be established
in Texas if suitable land can be
secured. Whether or not tea grow
ing in this country can he made a
commercial success will depend in
a large measure upon the most
rigid attention to the details of
field and factory work.—Scien
tific American.
Teachers’ Salaries Being Paid.
The school teachers of Georgia
are now being paid in full for
services rendered during the year
HX)2, and Governor Terrell says
that if the hoards of education or
county school commissioners of
the several counties in the State
will send in their reports early in
February the school teachers of
the State will he paid promptly
their salaries for the month of this
year, and from this time on tljey
will be paid by the month. The
amount now being paid out by
State on this account is about
$(500,000. The following list shows
the amount going to Pike and ad
joining counties:
Pike $4,90522

Certificate holders
Are Not Satisfied.
The following is a card prepar
ed and signed by certificate hold
ers referring to the recent assign
ment of the People’s Bank of Bar
nesville:
“Under date of Jan. 6, there ap
peared in The Journal an account
of the assignment of the People’s
Bank of Barnesville. The article
is misleading in the extreme, es
pecially the following extract
therefrom : It is understood that
the assignment is satisfactory to
the holders of the certificates.
These are not the facts. Anyone
who would take the trouble to
talk with the holders of there cer
tificates would know that they are
anything but satisfied. These
people accepted the.certificates of
deposit as a settlement upon the
representation that they were pro
tected by an absolutely good bond
for $50,000, and that the stock
holders were liable in amount
equal to the stock held by them.
They now realise that they have
been dealt with in a very unjust
manner, and the assignment re
cently made is entirely unsatis
factory to the certificate holders
and to a large number of stock
holders. Please give place to this
in your columns.

The
Collier
Clothing,
like “Blue Steel” shoes,
has become known as the
best that the country
affords. Pursuing the
policy that has made this
store famous throughout
this part of the country,
we are clearing off all
this season’s stock, so
that with the beginning
of another fall and win
ter, you’ll find nothing
but anew, fresh stock
from which to make your
selections.
In order to accomplish
this, surely we have made
prices on all that we have
on hand so low that they
must appeal strongly to
the thrifty and critical
people of this vicinity.
You can buy a suit or
overcoat, payable next
fall, as cheap as buying
next fall—maybe a bit
cheaper.
Remember that the
hardest and most trying
part of the winter is be
fore you.
Our clothing is of such
high character that it can
only be compared to the
custom work —

Odds and Ends
Dress Goods...
A time of the year to
make these odds and ends
in woolen and worsted
goods —some have been
left from onr last sale, but
the greater portion are
entirely new—just been
thrown out from the
regular stock —prices

To the Farmers: .
We thank you for your liberal patronage during the cotton season. M e hope that >ve
have been of benefit to you in the cotton business, as we have had a great many farmers tojso
express themselves to us in the way we have handled their cotton, in getting the highest mar
ket price for it, and appreciate our efforts in their behalf.
Now, the cotton season is coming to a close, and we ask a continuance of your patron
age. We are handling
Corn, Oats, Bran, Syrup ahd Flour.
We have already sold several car loads of corn. We also represent the
Largest Fertilizer Factory ill the World.

News is very scarce here this

It has been reported that W. J.

though we are not sure that he
has them. We hope it is all a
mistake.
We are having some more rainy
weather.
It Beems that the farmers are

“Pansy.”
What a splendid type of tireless
activity is the sun as the psalmist
describes its issueing like “a
bridegroom from his chamber and
rejoicing like a strong man to run
a race.” Every man ought to
rise in the morning refreshed by
slumber and renewed by rest,
eager for the struggle of the day.
But hotv rarely this is so. Most
people rise still unfreshed, and
dreading the strain of the day’s
labors. The cause of this is de
ficient vitality and behind this lies
h deficient supply of pure, rich
blood, and an inadequate nourish
ment of the body. There is nothing
that will give a man strength and
energy, as will Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It does this
Iby increasing the quantity and
[quality of the blood supply. This
nourishes the nerves, feeds the
brain, builds up enfeebled organs,
and gives that sense of strength
and power which makes the strug
gle of life a joy. The “good feel-
I ing” which follows the use of
I “Golden Medical Discovery,, is
not dus to stimulation as it con
tains u Alcohol,'whiskey or other
intoxicant. It not brace up
the body, but builds it up into a
condition of sound health.

Regrets for the political suicide
of Roosevelt will be general, for
he was becoming one of the most
popular of our presidents. Yet,
when his whole career is consider
ed, the Crum incident is not un
characteristic. He has always
been like the cow that gives good,
rich milk—and then kicks over
the pail. If, itching for notoriety
and sensation, he desired to ex
periment with miscegenation in
United States offices, why did he
not appoint a negro collector to
some port and en
joy the results of giving a negro
worshippers some of their own
medicine? Why did he not ap
point a negro collector here in
New York, where a little deeper
blackness in Republicanism would
uot have afl’ected the solid Demo
cratic majority? Why did he select
atypical Southern city, in which
there is not only the race prejudice
but the constant dread of at
tempted negro domination? I
cannot believe that Mr. Roose
velt’s object was to capture the
voters of the negro delegates in
the next Republican convention,
because a moment's consideration
would show him that a reuomi
nation would be worthless if all
the whites were driven from him.
No; this is a rare and sad cases
of mid-winter madness —our an
cestors would have called it “pos
session by the devil”—and we can
only morn the loss of one who
promised to rank with our most
illustrious presidents. Griffin
