Thursday Morning, April 16, 1914. Biggest event just ahead—the County Pupils Contest here on Saturday. Give the boys and girls a chance and then insist that they make good use of the opportuni ties offered. It is profoundly to be wished that some of the old hatchets be ing buried in this political rush will pass into rust before they can lie resurrected. Considering his stature, no man in Georgia can cast such a shadow as Little Joe Brown. When it passes across the politi cal disc there is a tremor all along the line. There is still a possibility of disaster to the fruitcrop, and the boll weevil hangs continually as a menace over the cotton crop. But Georgia’s crop of candidates never faileth. Like Oscar W. Underwood, Congressman Dudley M. Hughes is sticking to his job in Washing ton, and his friends will see to it that he is returned to the place he has so ably filled. There's no use in kicking, hut we cannot help wondering what the girls now in tango and slit skirts will look like forty or fifty years hence when playing the role of grandmothers. If the worst comes, the Atlan ta Georgian, fighting President Wilson on the canal tolls repeal bill—and on everything else— might refer the matter to Detec tive Burns for final adjustment. A rare opportunity to visit Florida will he afforded by the Confederate Reunion, to be held at Jacksonville on May 6-8, and many of the old guard from this section will propably attend. If you doubt that the hope of Montgomery county lies in the children now being educated and trained as they have never been heretofore, attend the big rally of the County Contest at the Browton-Purker Institute here next Saturday. It is said that the only thing that prevented Edison from en joying his stay in Florida was that he could not get the brand of tobacco down there that suited him. “Lives of great men all remind us” —that there is some thing ridiculous in each one. Editor John W. Simmons of the Brunswick Banner, who, as a student at home here a few years ago. was sticking type on The Monitor, makes us hungry for one more snits of the salt sea air, in the “railroad and harbor edi tion” of that paper of Thursday last. You just cannot satisfy the people of this old world. The Western Irrigation Congress in Denver last week was planning to get more water on the land, and the National Drainage Con gress in Savannah next week will Ik* devising means for dis posing of the surplus moisture. If you cannot render any aid to the boys in the corn club work, and can speak no word of encour agement to the girls of the can ning clubs, if the work of the teachers who are striving day and night to lift your children above the clouds of ignorance that befog this country brings no word of approbation, you can, at least, climb u|>on the fence and see the procession go by. , TTVVVYYYYYVWYTYWYYYTYYY • E Gleanings From 3 ► Wisdom’s Field. * La Grange Reporter:—The only trouble about sending Slaton to the senate is that it will be mighty hard to fill his place as governor. None of the aspir ants so far impress us as being quite of gubernatorial size. Macon News:—This thing of being a G-r-e-a-t Detective is a terrible strain on a man. Just think what a time he has trying to live up to his reputation. Atlanta Journal:-Most of us think we know a lot of people that his satanic majesty doesn’t have to waste any time running after. Greensboro Herald-Journal:— Bought corn means that you go poorer fed, jioorer clothed and poorer educated. Prosperity can not come to the man who pays more than double price for what he eats. Monroe Advertiser:—Accord ing to some of the papers this is “peace time” in Georgia; and most of the politicians are taking the oft-heard advice: “In time of peace, prepare for war.” Savannah Press:-The editor of the Hazlehurst News has been nominated for treasurer of Jeff Davis county. Now we will have one less paper in Georgia clamoring for the abolition of this office. Macon Telegraph:—Three men were arrested the other day while gambling in the grand jury room of the court house at Baxley. The men should have known bet ter. Nearly all our troubles are started in grand jury rooms. Lyons Progress:—Among the men who loom large upon the new political map of Georgia is the Honorable J. Randolph An derson of Savannah, who will be a candidate for governor in the event Governor Slaton enters the senatorial race. Brunswick Banner: Sixteen years ago the United States was trying to see how many Span iards they could kill. Today it is trying to do all it can to keep them from getting killed. Hawkinsville Dispatch-News: —The resolutions passed by the Cobb county executive commit tee, seeking to mix up Governor Slaton in the Frank case, are too silly to be noticed, and will do the governor no harm. When such methods as that are em ployed to injure a candidate they usually have the opposite effect. Darien Gazette:- We are going to have heaps of politics in old Georgia this summer; but friends and fellow citizens, we are going to keep just as cool and comfort able, under the circumstances, as possible, promising to love every body even if we can’t vote for everybody. Valdosta Times:—You can’t ever make people believe a news paper when they print headlines like “Never Missed Sunday School in 64 Years.” IYnbroke Enterprise:—The old adage, “Better let good enough alone,” may be well applied to the present congressional race in this district. It would be hard j to find a man to fill the present incumbent’s place. Fitzgerald Press:—The Press is opposed to anything under the j sun which is absolutely under the sole control of any one mortal man. lx* he priest or politician. Ocilla Star: —It ought to be considered a shame for any fam- j ily in Irwin county to eat a can of tomatoes that w r as put up out side of the county. THB MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, APRIL 16. 1914 Burned Wife He Patched Sues Doctor for Divorce Pittsburg, Pa.. April 10. —Even though he sacrificed eighty square inches of his own skin that he might graft it on the body of his burned wife, thereby saving her life, Dr. A. S. Cunningham, a prominent surgeon, has been made the defendant in a divorce suit brought by Mrs. Cunning ham on the grounds of cruelty. Mrs. Cunningham charges her husband wfith extreme cruelty and neglect of duty. She alleges that he has made life unbearable for her for several years and has cursed her and otherwise abused her. She asks for an absolute divorce, custody of their minor child and alimony. They were married in Zanesville 24 years ago. It was but a few days ago that Dr. Cunningham startled the medical world with his skin graft ing operation. Burned about the body in a fire, Mrs. Cunningham was near death when her hus band decided that heroic meas ures were necessary. Taking 80 square inches from his own side he quickly completed the skin grafting operation on the burned portion of his wife’s body. She is now said to be rapidly recov ering. Former President lift Arrives at Augusta, Ga. Augusta, April 10.—Armed with golf clubs, and smiling broadly at the prospect of an ex tended vacation, former Presi dent William H. Taft arrived here today for a stay that he said might last several weeks. He was accompanied by Mrs. Taft. The ex-president will be one of the speakers Tuesday at the ded ication of a memorial bridge to Archibald Butt, his aide as presi dent, who lost his life on the Ti tanic. He Knew Down in South Carolina they caught an old negro roost robber “with the goods on him,” as the saying goes, and forthwith haled him into court to stand trial for chicken stealing, relates the Ar gonaut. When old Rastus was placed in the dock the judge said: “Now, Uncle Ras, I suppose you realize that you’re in a court of law, and you quite realize what a court is?” “Why, shore, boss,’’ came back Rastus, “a co’t? Why, a co’t am shore a place where they dispenses wif justice!” Saving a Dime Johnny’s mother had instituted a fine of 10 cents for every spot made on the tablecloth, says the Judge. One day Johnny was ob served rubbing his finger for a long time over the cloth at his plate. “John, what are you doing,” said his mother at last. “Nothing. I was just trying to rub two spots into one.” thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able M to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles ri of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon [pj gained 35 pounds, and now, 1 do all my housework, as we *l as run a big water mill, bog 1 wish every suffering woman would give 9 Cardui i y The Woman’s Tonic Ej a triaL I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad, ■Si and it always does me good.” Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, \ tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman- P*B ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s r~3 tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui kTI for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing women for more than fifty years. i I8(| Get a Bottle Today 1 pi All He Could Do. Sir Claude Stratto-Wight Hat tersleigh was frankly a bore. He knew only one topic,—his hunt ing experiences in Africa,—and i he repeated his stories over and over. On one occasion he was telling Miss Keene a story she had heard at least five times. “And do you know, Miss Keene,” continued the English man, “there I stood without an other cartridge, facing that fierce wart hog. Now, pon word, what do you suppose he did the mo ment I spoke to him, and he got a look at me?” “Why, ’’ answered Miss Keene, a bit wearily, “he ran away, of! course.” Learned His Valuation. A tourist in Scotland came to a j wide ferry. It was stormy, and the wind was constantly increas ing. The Scotch ferryman agreed to take the tourist across, but told him to wait until he had first; taken a cow across. When he had returned and j started across with the traveler, the latter became curious. “Will you tell me why you; took the cow over and made me i wait?” he asked. “Weel, now,” explained the ferryman, “you see the coo wur valuable, and I feared th’windj wud increase so th’boat might! upset on th’second trip!” Libel For Divorce.
