Three Railroads
Seek Train Revision.
Atlanta, Sept. 12.—The Cen
tral of Georgia Railway Com-'
pany. the Georgia and Florida
and the Ocilla Southern Railway
filed petitions today with the
Railroad Commission asking per
mission to discontinue certain
passenger trains and to rear
range the passenger service on
their lines.
The Georgia and Florida asks
permission to discontinue the
double daily passenger service on
its Millen and Vidalia division
and substitute a mixed freight
and passenger train. It also
wants to discontinue handling
passenger coaches on its mixed
trains between Hazlehurst and
Augusta, and between Valdosta
and Madison, Fla.
War And This.
In the midst of discomforting
and distrubing news from Eu
rope, comes a suggestion by Edi
tor Frank Fesler, of The Onlook
er of Foley, Ala., which, it seems
to us, deserves quick condemna
tion. Editor Fesler’s newspaper
has been a factor of unusual ef
fectiveness in the wonderfully
rapid and substantial up-building
of one of the best sections of the
Southeast, and it is to be regret
ted that he has made such a sug
gestion. He proposes that along
with other tag days Alabama
shall set aside one day for the
tagging, of bachelors, it being
urged that if bachelors should be
tagged widows could easily find
them and cupid would do the
rest.
‘ ‘The batchelor is naturally tim
id,” Editor Fesler declares, ‘‘but
with the encouraging influence of
a merry widow he can be easily
led to the altar. The women
have tag days to promote every
other public enterprise and why
not a tag day for bachelors?”
Why not, indeed! A bachelor
has an inalienable right to be a
bachelor, he has the right to his
own plans and policies for the
possession of peace and the pur
suit of happiness. Let the bach
elors alone. —Industrial Index.
Just What he Wanted.
Representative Livingston says
that he was once in a little cross
roads store in Georgia, when an
old darkey came shambling in.
‘‘Hello, Uncle Mose!” the pro
prietor greeted him. ‘‘l hear
that you got converted at last at
the campmeeting, and have giv
en up drinking.”
‘‘Yas, sah, ah done seed de er
ror ob mah ways an’ turn roun’
an’ headed fer de narrer path,”
Uncle Mose declared, fervently.
‘‘Well, you derserve a great
deal of credit for that, Uncle
Mose,” the merchant said, ap
provingly.
“Yas, sah, tank yo’, sah,”
Uncle Mose exclaimed, delight
edly; “dat’s what Ah thought,
an’ Ah ’lowed Ah’d come in hyah
an’ git you all to gib me credit
fer some side meat an’ meal.”
Brief Speeches.
“There are many motorists,”
says a Washington driver, ac
cording to the New York Ameri
can, “who cannot speak as fast
as they can drive. Indeed, I
have noticed that we are, as a
rule, wretched speakers. In this;
relation I recall a dinner at an
automobile club in Detroit. A
well known automobilist was as- j
signed at this dinner the task of
presenting a silver cup to another
no less we’ll known. Both had
plenty of time to prepare ad-1
dresses, but the best the present
er could do was to extend the cup j
and stammer:
“ ‘Here’s the mug.’
“The other rose in his turn. }
His speech consisted of:
“ ‘ls that the mug?’ ”

No Cotton Pickers
Bailed Out Os Jail.
Moultrie, Sept. 12.—The Col
quitt county jail has more ne
groes in at this date in Septem
ber than it has ever held since it
was built more than twenty years
ago. As a rule no negro that is
any good as a cotton picker who
can be released under bond is
left in jail, but this fall it is dif
ferent and all because of the Eu
ropean war and the resultant in
active cotton market.
Farmers of this county are not
very anxious to get their cotton
picked. At least they are not
anxious enough to pay sixty-five
cents a hundred for having it
picked while there is no market
for the staple. And negroes who
spent July and August in prison
with the fond hope that they
would be bailed out as soon as
cotton began to open have met
disappointment.
Uncanny Skill.
Coroner Corodon Norton of
Freeport was talking to a New
York reporter about the Garman
case, relates the Washington
Star.
“Great skill has been displayed
in this case,” the young coroner
ended. “Uncanny skill, I might
almost say. Skill which reminds
me of the young lady at Coney.
“A young lady met a young
gentleman at Coney, and they
took a bath, and a long walk on
the beach, and then they sat
down side by side on the white,
clean sand.
“The spot was a lonely one,
and the young man began to talk
of love. He drew 7 nearer and
nearer to the young lady. Fi
nally he reached out his arm to
encircle her waist.
“But she drew back sharply
and at the same time she took a
pair of large white cotton gloves
from her handbag.
“ ‘lf you’re going to be friend
ly, George,’ she said, ‘just slip
on these. My steady’s a detec
tive, and if he found your finger
prints on this here white belt of
mine ”
Watterson on the War.
The following pen-picture of
the European w 7 ar is from the pen
of Col. Henry Watterson, in the
Louisville Courier-Journal:
“The heart of man as he sur
veys the slaughter from afar
grows sick and stops its beating,
the word he fain would speak,
passes silent from his lips and
dies upon the empty air. That
is why the poets seem so insuffi
cient —the very Kiplings limp and
stark —the singing drowned by
the wailing.
“Christ! That any man should
gloat—that any woman should
glow —before such appalling sav
agery.
“Wolf of the world and yellow
footed kite alone are gleeful, nor
but from the tower of Briges,
across the low country to the
dome of Cologne, by Ghent where
the peace treaty was made, and
Aix, where Charlemagne sleeps
the dreamless sleep, and Liege,
the immortal—and up and dow 7 n
the vales of the beautiful river
nowhere any ringing of bells,
nor shouts of glory; only moans
over the dying and mourning for
the dead; from white hoods of
Flanders and Rhenish maiden;
from palace and cottage; the
smoke of Louvain ascending still
I from earth to heaven—even to
' the throne of God—in awful,
awe-inspiring indictment. To
; your prayers, ye fools of warrior
birth and blood, to your prayers!
You know not what you do.”

Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband

from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but 1 was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.

I had gotten so weak 1 could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and 1 com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. 1
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’stonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it Begin taking Cardui today.
