Vernon, Georgia, Thursday Morning, Feb. 17, 1910. - - B<- sure that you get onto Hll* matter of registration ere it is too late. There in such n thing ns get-' ting left, even at a simple game. 1 Do not be afraid that Halley's comet will swat you a John L. blow this summer. It is n long way off, and then too, there will he a little grass that may used your attention now and then. To say that u man should saw wood and say nothing does not mean that he should stay abso lutely silent when lie strikes a knot. Life is full of knotty prob lems and it sometimes takes u lit tle wind work to overcome them '1 he door to success is said to be broad and open, and yet. so many of us fail to enter. Possibly the night-latch of indifference has been left on too long, or possibly the latch-string is too hard to pull, (live it a good, strong jerk and substantial results may be ob tained. They say it will not he long be fore we will hear the honk, honk of the festive automobile on our highways, but just now it is a song nf gee and haw with our people. The auto may he swifter than the 1 hay-burner, but when it comes to tilling the soil, the halautu is the thing. And now the world is wondering what Roosevelt will do when he reaches Home on his way home— deliver a talk before a Pretest ant assembly or run with the Pope. Former Vice-President Charley Fairbanks was in town a few days ago, but had respect unto ins Pro testant faith, even if it did Imr him from the courts of the Cath olic sovereign. ’Twill be no but-. prise, however, if Teddy does not play before both houses and not gi t scratched, either. In regard to the little contro versy among some of the sister counties composing the senatorial, district, of which Montgomery county is a part, we have no kick to make, inasmuch us this county lias the satisfaction of having fur mshod the present capable repre- j simativeof the district. Surely! Montgomery county w ill not ad vance another candidate until her time to play. And we see no plaus ible reason w hy the other counties of the district should not be able to settle the matter among them selves. Some of the great charity lead ers of the crowded cities of tin North say that when the farming season opens it will give them an opportunity of sending multitudes! of unemployed men to the coun try. If it is a fair question, why do not a few thousand of these un employed strikers go to the coun try and stay there, where labor is in demand, and where there is no likelihood of starvation. We have always said, and still maintain, that there is plenty of room for the honest workingman in this country. Montgomery could ac commodate a few. Even France, the festive and bibulous nation, is seeing tho foul effects of strong drink and has commenced a crusade against its use. The time was when the French were a wine-drinking peo ple, whoso progress had not been hindered by alcohol, but during the past quarter of a century it has felt the fangs es the real and more deadly serpent in the shape of alcohol. Startling, hut true, the nation is ou the decrease,phys ically and mentally, as a result of strong drink and the thinking el ement is now raising a uote of warning to her people. Evident ly the prohibition wave is felt around the world. 1 ■ ■—. j MARRIAGE AND LONGEVITY. Dr. Jacques Bertilloti, tho French Hum, "ho designed that marvelous system for the accurate measurement of criminals, has j mow discovered that marriage and longevity go hand in hand. New lou’t laugh ami say that the life it a married man only seems long*j r thun that of u single one. That 1 is a V"i y old joke, but not appli cable in this case. Dr. Bertilloo is very much in earnest and his conclusions have been drawn af ter the most cureful consideration, i Ji•• calls in the aid of statistics 1 to prove his contention that u married man or woman has three times as much chance to attain a ripe old age uh a bachelor or spins-1 ter, and w ith regard to men he -iliows that the mortality among widowerera is greater than among married men. Dr. Bertillon says his father went thoroughly into this question and obtained statis lie* from oilier European coun tries which completely support this opinion, while he himself has studied later figures in France His advice to young men is to 111a rry. The doctor declares that mar ried people lead a more regular I life. '1 hoy are more surrounded and tt)( 1 lore more controlled,dis-' erect though this control may he, land it must he discreet if it is to be useful. Their physical life,like t In* 1 r moral life, is healthier, quieter, more nut urn!. in tile French statistics of one year, which Dr. Bertillon lihs se lect'd the deaths in a thousand men among bachelors between the: ages of thirty-five and forty wero j nineteen, while those of married men were only eight. Between the ages ol tifty-tive and sixty the fig urea were forty-one for tho former and f wenty-three for the latter. With women the mortality was twelve and eight between thirty live and forty, and twenty-four ■Mid' ightoen between fifty-live and i sixty. I’lie death rates among widows and divorcees were re spvtiwly twelve and twenty-one women a thousand. Dr. Bertillon does not take a j cheerful view of the lot of the wid ow He says: “The mortality ; ’Mining widows is distinctly much greater than among married wo men of the same age. 'The sweet state of widowhood' is, on tho con trary, fatal to young widows. I'heir death rate from twenty to twenty-five years of age is twice that of married women at the cor ivspo n ding nge.”—Savannah Dress. Dr, Frederick Cook may be, proven the biggest liar on earth, but he must be given credit for having retired from the stage of action. No trouble, however, to Hud Ins successor. GEORGIA VETERANS MUST PAY TAX. In the cases of Manus v. the State and Allen v. the State, from the city court of Atlanta, the state court of appeals rendered a decis ion n few days ago holding that the tree license granted to confederate veterans to peddle and sell merchandise, by the or dinary of any county under the law providing for such liceuse, does not exempt those veterans who engage iu the sale of “near be*r“ from the payment of the specific tax of |2OO imposed by the state upon the sale of this art icie. I'll" section of the general tax act imposing this tax specifically prohibits all exemptions, and the tax must be paid by everyone en gaging in the business. The con victions in those two cases were 1 Mllirnied. I THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR- TfII’R&DAY, FEB. 17, 1»10. Soperton Hpeeisl Correspondence. School is progressing fine.

Atlanta, Feb. 11.—In the case! Os Walker vs. the state from the i j City Court of Dawson, the state | Court of Appeals in reversing the conviction of Walker for violat ing the prohibition law, held that the state has no power to prevent ! a citizen from keeping liquor in his home or from having it ship ped to him individually for use in his home. The court holds that the mere finding of liquor in a private resi dence m large quantities does not prove that it was kept for the purpose of illegal sale. Judge Powell dissented on the ground that the evidence showed that Walker had vastly more liquor in his home than an ordi nary day laborer (carpenter) would be expected to have for legitimate purposes. NO SNAKE TALE THIS, BUT— Orrin Woodiu, a Hurwrntou farmer, who lost a cheap watch 9 years ago while haying, lias just recovered the timepiece in a very novel manner. He butchered one of his cows ami when engaged in dressing the bovine, heard a tick ing noise. An investigation dis closed the lost watoh, still keep ing tune, but two hours in arrears. Woodin thinks the cow must have swallowed the watch while eating hay. The watch was a stem winding affair and every time the oow breathed Woodino thinks it l pressed against tho stomach, thus keeping it wound up.—Winsted (Conn.)
