CAPITAL KEPT BY PERPETUAL REPRODUCTION
SIMILAR TO GROWTH
OF THE POPULATION
Each Year the Number Born
Exceeds the Number Who Die,
Therefore, the Popoulation
Always Increases.
Capital is kept in existence from
age to age not by preservation but
by perpetual reproduction: every
part of it is used and destroyed,
generally very soon after it is
produced, but those who consume
it are employed meanwhile in pro
ducing more. The growth of capi
tal is similar to the growth of pop
ulation. Every individual who is
born dies, but in each year the
number born exceeds the number
who die: the population, therefore,
always increases, though not one
person of those composing it was
alive until a very recent date.
This perpetual consumption and
reproaucton of capital affords the
explanation of what has so often
excited wonder, the great rapidity
with which countries recover from
a state of devastation; the dis
appearance, in a short time, of all
traces of the mischiefs done by
earthquakes, floods, hurricanes
and the ravages of war. • An ene

and sword, and destroys or car

wealth existing in it: all the inhabi
tants are ruined and yet, in a few
years after, everything is much as
it was before. This vis medicatrix
nature has been a subj ect of sterile
astonishment, or has been cited to
exemplify the wonderful strength
of the principle of saving which
can repair such enormous losses
in so brief an interval.
There is nothing at all wonder
ful in the matter. What the ene

GROVER ISON KILLS G. E.
GOGGIN, OF GRIFFIN. IN
A SELF-DEFENSE FIGHT
%
Griffin, Ga., October 24. —(Spe-
cial) —G. E. Goggin was shot and
killed by Grover Ison today at Dig
by, near Griffin. Both of the men
who are well-known throughout
Spalding county, met in the store
of Frank Moody and the shooting
followed. Ison was wounded slight
ly and is being held under guard
until he is removed to the colmty
jail.
Reports of the shooting by eye
witnesses are conflicting. Accord
ing to one version of the affair,
Goggin was advancing toward Ison
with a baseball bat and Ison shot
in self-defense. Another version
is that Ison was drinking and curs
ing and this led up to the shoot
ing. After the shooting Ison was
taken to a nearby house where sev
eral cuts in his head were dressed.
Ison has been placed under a
guard until such a time as he can
be removed to the county jail. Gog
gin was 29 years of age and is
survived by his widow and one
child. Ison is 19 years of age,
A preliminary trial will be held
Monday.
the inhabitants themselves: the
wealth which they so rapidly re
produce would have needed to be
reproduced and would have been
reproduced in any case, and prob
ably in as short a time. Nothing
is changed, except that during the
reproduction they have not now
the advantage of consuming what
had been produced previously.
The possibility of a rapid repair of
their disasters depends on wheth
er the country has been depopu
lated. John Stuart Mill,

SWAMPED BY CONYERS
The Conyers Lads Defeated the
M. H. S. Boys Last Friday
Afternoon in the First Game
of the Season, 24 to 6.
Friday afternoon ushered on
the high school grounds a new
kind of athletics for McDonough.
Supt. Fleming, of Conyers High,
brought his husky quintet over
that they may give the local boys
their initial taste of basketball,
and even though the local boys
were defeated the defeat did not
leave a bitter taste.
The school children seem to en
joy the game so much for it was
the first game they ever saw. We
hope to show them much better
games ere many moons wax and
wane.
We are glad to note a number
of the town people out to witness
the fight and we hope that they
will be out even in larger num
bers to see the next game and
help us to make the school a part
of our city life and an occasional
place to visit as a social center.
The Convers boys were much
heavier than the M. H. S. boys
and had two years experience,
which makes quite a difference in
basketball.
This being the first game for
the M. H. S. boys a 24 to 6 score
is not a bad defeat at all, especial
ly when the 12 fouls they made is
compared to only 2 by Conyers,
and that Conyers’ foul shooter
had a way of putting the half
through the basket about every
time Ije had a chance.
“Skinney,” the tall and lankey
center for Conyers, and “Speck,”
the speedy forward did the work
for the visitors and they are a fast
pair.

MANY CONFEDERATE VET
ERANS ATTEND ANNUAL
REUNION IN CHATTANOOGA
The Confederate Veterans, who
left here Tuesday to attend the
United Confederate Veterans an
nual reunion at Chattanooga, were:
Messrs. W. H. Bryans, D. B. Mor
gan, J. T. Davis, W. R. Nail, Judge
and Mrs. A. G Harris.
We learn from the Constitution
that the characteristic address by
Governor Alt' A. Taylor and Sena
tor James B. Frazier, of Tennes
see, featuied the opening session
of the thirty first annual reunion
of the United Confederate Veteran
Wednseday. Governor Taylor, in
welcoming the delegates voiced
his pleasure over the unity exist
ing in all sections, stating that re
conciliation was made complete
when President McKinley ordered
headstones placed at the graves
of Conferate dead at the expense
of the government.
Before launching his address.
Governor Taylor called Johnny
Bass, a grizzled veteran, and in
mate of the Nashville Soldiers'
Home, to the platform. He then
asked that a fiddling trio of Tex
ans come forward, when the gov
ernor himself took up his fiddle
and led the orchestra, with John
ny at the piano. The crowd went
wild when the fiddlers started the
musical program with “Dixie,”
and the rebel yell resounded
throughout the tabernacle.
This was a great occasion for
the yeterans, and it makes our
heart leap for jov to see them en
joy themselves.
usual splendid playing for M. H. S.
for their first game of ball. Eve
ry boy of the M. H. S. team did
splendid work and showed much
speed, and so soon as they get
more knowledge of how the game
is played they will show some
high school teams that they are to
be considered as players.
Wednesday afternoon Supt.
Adams will carry his boys over to
Conyers for a return game and
the boys are going with a deter
mination to show the Conyers
boys that they learned a great
deal about basketball last Friday
afternoon. I
