Franklin’s Idea of Death.
From a letter at time of his
brother’s death in May, 1790:
“Dear Child: I condole with you.
We have lost a most dear and
valued relation, but it is the will
of God and nature that these
mortal bodies be laid aside when
the soul is to enter into real life.
Tis rather an embryo state, a
preoaration for living; a man is
not completely born until he is
dead. Why then, should we
grieve that a new child is born
among the immortals, a new mem
ber added to their happy society?
We are spirits. That bodies
should be lent us while they can
afford us pleasure, assist us in ac
quiring knowledge or doing good
to our fellow creatures is a kind
and benevolent act of God. When
they become unfit for these pur
poses and accord us pain instead
of pleasure, instead of an aid be
come an incumbrance, and an
swer none of the intentions for
which they were given, it is
equally kind and benevolent that
a way is provided by which we
may get rid of them. Death is
the way. We, ourselves, pru
dently choose a partial death. In
some cases a mangled, painful
limb, which cannot be restored,
we willingly cut off. He who
plucks out a tooth parts with it
freely, since the pain goes with it;
and he that quits the whole body
parts at once with all pains and
possibilities of pains and diseases
it was liable to, or capable of
making him suffer. Our friend
and we are invited abroad on a
party of pleasure that is to last
forever. 1 iis chair was first ready
and he has gone before us. We
could not all conveniently start
together, and why should you and
I be grieved at this, since we are
•sure to follow and we know
where to find them? Adieu.”
The bill for biennial sessions of
the Legislature has been passed
by the Senate of Georgia. We
hope the House will concur in
making the measure a law. The
fewer sessions of the Legislature
we have the better off the State
will be. —Thomaston Times.
It is now in order for the Gov
ernment to revise its estimate of
the coming cotton crop and cut it
down some two or tluee million.
Wilson bids fair to be known in
history as the winner of great
bloodless victories.
For Summer Troubles.
Hay fever afflicts thousands
and asthma sufferers endure tor
ture. Foley’s Honey and Tar
gives relief, for it allays inflamma
tion and clears the air passages.
It eases the terrible, gasping
cough and soothes the membranes
rasped by constant efforts t-b
check irritating disturbances.

What Will n Mean?
If the propose I railroa 1 str ke
now threatened should take place
what would it mean?
The railroads all over the Uni
ted States will be tied up and not
a train running, either passenger
or freight.
Can you conceive the results to
our country? No one can travel,
no freight will by shipped, com
merce veiil be stopped; one hun
dred millions of people will suffer
and millions of them for bread.
Can vou conceive the results?
Business will practically close
for merchants will be unable to
get goods, and thereby you as an
individual will suffer.
How come all this trouble to be
started?
The organizations of all railroad
laborers have made most unrea
sonable demands for wages and
time.
You ask can this be reconciled?
How udien in conferences be
tween the leaders of the strikers
and the railroad people efforts
have been made to get the strik
ers to agree to some form of arbi
tration between the two parties,
but the strikers refuse and repeat
the demands “of all and in full of
what we demand of you.”
They have been asked to submit
their claims to the National Com
mittee, for arbitration, but they
refuse totally.
The roads have made overtures
after overtures, but the strikers,
blinded in their demands, have
refused every effort of whatso
ever kind of cny manner.
Is this just upon the part of the
strikers?
Do not all business people resort
to business methods to settle all
differences?
Then why should not these
.strikers do the same?
They will out themselves out
of the pale of the law, when they
will force millions to suffer for
their unreasonable conduct. We
are no apologist for either side,
but there is justice that should be
observed.
When any class put themselves
outside of the pale of the law,
they should not expect protection
from that source.
Without prejudice we are forced
to say that they seek to make
the United States an inferno. —
Pike County Journal.
The Pike County Journal has it
down right when it says: “A
man raises a bale of cotton, he
sells it to the buyer, he sells it to
the cotton factor, he sells it to the
manufacturer, he makes it into
cotton products. He then sells it
to the manufaetu: irtg agent, he
sells it to the jobber, be sells it to
the wholesaler, he sells it to the
retailer, he sells it to the original
raiser, and he pays all these mid
dlemen a profit, and wipes his
weeping eyes with a cotton rag
and goes to his grave a servar f
of all.”
His Backache Hone,
More men have kidney trouble
than are aware of it. Just how
serious a backache, sore muscles,
aching joints, rheumatism, swol
len ankles, and blurring vision
may be is sometimes realized only
when a man attempts to take out
life insurance and is refused on
account of kidney trouble. Jo

severe backache that ha. both
