Let’s have biennial sessions
without delay.
If for nothing else but to get it
out of politics seems enough ar
gument in selling the State road.
One trouble about being a little
boy is that pretty ladies kiss him
before he is old enough to appre
ciate it.
When people get mad over re
ligion, it’s a sure sign they haven’t
any, is the way the Greensboro
Herald-Journal expresses it.
Of course, the best place to hold
the World’s Fair is on your lap,
(after the old folks have gone to
bed.) Now, that’s what we’ve
heard.
The Albany Herald thinks the
gubernatorial race is about to de
velop into one of the worst mix
ups known in Georgia politics for
years. And it may.
Governor Harris kept the
path on the prohibition bill, and
the liquor heads have it in for
the governor. This was expect
ed. —Greensboro Herald.
An olive-complected damsel
asks us what is the sign when her
nose itches? Why, gentle one, it
is a positive indication that your
proboscis needs scratching. —Ex.
No one ever Jost money, tem
per, character or the esteem of
others by being truly polite at
home, in public gatherings, in
business, on the streets, in school
or church.
There is nothing more touching
than the magnanimity of Colonel
Roosevelt in permitting all the
erstwhile scoundrels and robbers
of the G. 0. P. to come back to
him. —Fix.
Prof. Otis Ashmore, for twenty
years superintendent of the pub
lic schools at Savannah, has ten
dered his resignation. He says
hr has labored in the schools long
enough and deserves a rest.
Dressed in the uniform of Uucle
Sam’s navy, a man signing him
self “F, 11. Gilman,” issued a
number of spurious chocks on
Atlanta merchants in the pur
chase of goods before the fraud
v as detected.
The Weekly congratulates both
the Governor and Editor Trox
Bankston upon his appointmet on
the gubernatorial military staff.
Tnis gives Mr. Bankston the rank
of Lieutenant Colonel—and right
gracefully will the honors be
worn.
The Weekly hopes the senti
m mt in favor of biennial sessions
v i not be allowed to escape the
next session of the legislature.
Other States are finding it to
work admirably. Surely there is
nothing to be lost but all to gain.
The field is ripe unto the harvest.
What Moses will lead the way?
The Girard Raids.
The raiding yesterday of blind
tigers and liquor warehouses at
Girard, Ala., by a strong force of
deputies led by a law agent ap
pointed by the attorney general
of Alabama, rounded up malt and
spirituous liquors valued at $750,-
000. The raids, it was announced,
would continue from day to day
till all olaces under suspicion have
been searched. A great deal of
whiskey and other intoxicating
liquors is believed to have been
hidden in the country near Girard
during the last few days, informa
tion that a raid was corning hav
ing leaked out, in spite of the fact
that every effort was made to
keep the plan secret.
The Alabama authorities had in
formation that more than a million
dollars worth of liquor was stored
in Girard, from which point it was
being slipped into Georgia as op
portunity presented itself. The
raid was carefully planned,
and although those who were
making Girard headqaalters for
wholesale violations of the law
had made dire threats of what
they would do if any attempt were
made to interfere with their busi
ness, they were meek as lambs
when the representatives of law
and order swooped down upon
them.
The confiscated liquor will be
shipped to Montgomery, and the
state authorities will make such
disposition as the law directs.
The Girard raids, the greatest
yet pulled off in Southern prohi
bition territory, will have a tre
mendous moral effect, for thev
serve notice upon those who
wculd set aside the law that ‘‘pro
hibition that prohibits” is going to
prevail in spite of communities
which, for the sake of filthy lurce,
would be laws unto themselves.
The whiskey interests had chosen
Girard as a sort of Gibraltar, from
whose wine Cellars, warehouses
and “speak-easies” they defied
Alabama’s authorities.
And Alabama has answered in
a way that those who challenged
her will remember. —Albany Her
ald.
Don’t Fall Off, 80.
Jim Williams looked like a fish
out of “water” in Macon at the
State convention. Commerce
News.
Editor Shannon told us if we
could “scare” up something he’d
pay for it, but there was nothing
doing. It is only a matter of
time when every one will have to
get on the water wagon—and we
are now on. —Herald.
Bulloch county has just com
pleted a campaign for $150,000 to
build a packing house.

With the cost of materials al
ready about doubled, and contin
ually going higher, there is noth
ing left for weekly newspapers to
do but raise‘the price of subscrip
tion or go out of business.
By all means let Old Man
Woodward, Joe Pottle, A. 0. Bla
lock, Thomas S. Felder, Duck
worth and all other aspirants for
gubernatorial honors get in the
race. We want them to run if
they hanker to do so. —Cuthbert
Leader.
Of course we are all subject to
certain hoses of memory, but
there is one subject close to our
hearts which should never be lost
sight of for one single moment.
Think it over —talk it over—push
it along with every possible breath
of life. We want better country
roads.

Here’s Speedy Relief
from Kidney Troubles
“Foley Kidney Fills have done me a
heap or good.” A. I. Bartlett, Brock
ton, Mass.
Some daysAt seems as if you can no
longer bear the pain and misery you
suffer from kidney and bladder trouble.
The ache across your back grows worsa
with every move you make, and with
every step you take. It not only robs
you of all your strength and energy, but
it affects the other important organs of
the body as well. Nervousness, head
ache, disordered stomach, liver trouble,
bad eyesight, are only some of the con
ditions that follow kidney trouble.
Foley Kidney Pills help the sick weak
kidneys to regain their normal healthy
state and activity. When they are again
able to do their work effectively, your
system is no longer choked and blocked
with poisonous waste matter. Your
symptoms clear up, your weariness,
pain, misery and weakness go away,
Foley Kidney Pills can do you also “a.
heap of good.’*
