flTC COVINGTON NEWS. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 30, 1915-
MONTICELLO BASEBALL TEAM
WON SERIES IN COVINGTON.
“The Montieello base ball club
Journeyed over to Covington Monday
of this week where they played a
series of three games with the fast
team of that city. The Jasperites
were successful in taking the scalps of
the Newton county lads, winning two
of three games.
"Wednesday's game was one of the
fiuert exhibitions of the national pas¬
times ever staged in middle Georgia.
Thii teen innings were played and the
result was 6 and 5 in Monticello’s
favor. “Kid" Collier did the twirling
for l he winners aDd he was received
by Gibson. With the bases filled in
the later part of the ninth, a triple
pla.\ on the part of the Montieello
boys, from Collier to Gibs off, to Ste¬
phens to Gibson, was a spectacular
feature of the game.”—Montieello
News.
The above was clipped from last

and to straighten matters out, we are
publishing a box score of the third
game, which decided the winners of

‘Cured”
Mrs. Jay McGee, of Steph
enville,Texas, writes: "For
nine (9) years, I suffered with
womanly trouble. 1 had ter¬
rible headaches, and pains in
my back, etc. It seemed as if
1 would die, I suffered so. At
last, I decided to try Cardui,
the woman’s tonic, and it
helped me right away. The
full treatment not only helped
me, but it cured me."
TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
Cardui helps women in time
of greatest need, because it
contains ingredients which act
specifically, yet gently, on the
weakened womanly organs.
So, if you feel discouraged,
blue, out-of-sorts, unable to
do your household work, on
account of your condition, stop
worrying and give Cardui a
trial. It has helped thousands
of women,—why not you?
Try Cardui. L-71
POLITICIANS WHO CAPITALIZE
STRIFE A MENACE TO
GOVERNMENT.
Neglect of Agricultural and Industrial
Opportunities a National Crime.
By Peter Radford.
There never was a time in the his¬
tory of this nation when we needed
statesmen more or agitators less than
at the present moment. The oppor¬
tunities now afforded us on land and
sea demand the best there is in state¬
craft and the possibilities that are con¬
fronting us call for national issues
that unite the people, build industry
and expand trade. The agricultural
and industrial development of this
nation has suffered severely at the
hands of agitators who have sent
torpedoes crashing into the port side
of business and whose neglect of the
interests of the farmer makes them
little less than political criminals. We
want no more of these evil spirits to
predominate in government. Too long
their hysterical cry has sent a shiver
down the spinal column of industry.
Too long have the political agitators
capitalized strife, pillaged progress
and murdered opportunity. An indus¬
trial corpse is not a desirable thing,
a crippled business an achievement or
neglect an accomplishment about
which any representative of the gov¬
ernment has a right to boast.
Issues that Breed Agitators Should be
Eliminated.
The political agitator must be elim¬
inated from public life before thought¬
ful consideration can be given to a
constructive program in government.
The liquor question is the most pro¬
lific breeding ground for agitators and
whether pro or anti, the hatch is
equally as undesirable. This article
is in no sense a discussion of the li¬
quor question but deals solely and by
way of illustration with the political
products of that issue. Other sub¬
jects will be dealt with in the order
of their importance.
In the history of our government
the liquor issue has never produced
a constructive statesman worth men¬
tioning and it never will. It has sent
more freaks to Congress, Lilliputians
to the Senate .and incompetents to
office than any other political issue
under the sun.
The recent experience of the Eng¬
lish Parliament which lashed itself
into a fury over the liquor question
has a lesson that it is well for the
farmers of this nation to observe; for
the subject in some form or other is
constantly before the public for solu¬
tion and ofttiines to the exclusion of
more important problems to the Amer¬
ican plowmen.
Too Many Political Drunkards.
Lloyd-George, the Prohibition leader
of Europe who led the prohibition right
in England, has declared that he will
never again take a drink politically
and there are many American politi¬
cians—pro and anti—who would render
their country a service by climbing
on the water wagon or signing a pledge
of political temperance. Too often
our legislative halls are turned into
political bar-rooms and many of the
members become intoxicated on liquor
discussions. We have too many polit¬
ical drunkards—pro and anti—in our
public affairs. No one who is a slave
to the political liquor habit is quite
so capable of dealing with the busi¬
ness affairs of government as the
sober and industrious. We. have few
public men in this day who are strong
enough to resist the temptation of
strong drink politically and when the
demon Rum once becomes firmly en¬
trenched in the mind of a politician,
he is less capable of meeting the de¬
mands for constructive statesmanship
now confronting this nation.
We have in this country too many
red-nosed politicians—both pro and
anti. A candidate with political deli¬
rium tremens, a preacher with politi¬
cal snakes in his boots and an agitator
drunk on the liquor question are the
saddest sights in civilization and they
should all be forced to take the polit¬
ical Keeley Cure.
It is far more important in govern¬
ment to make it easier for those who
toil to eat than to make it more dif¬
ficult for a few topers to drink. There
is not one person in one hundred of
our rural population that ever touches
liquor but we all eat three times a
day. ,
THE LAYMAN’S DUTY
There never wa3 a time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization did
not shriek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning of,gov¬
ernment, politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry Into the meshes of
politics and make them carry banners
in political processions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top of power and offered to make them
monarch of all they surveyed, and
while most of them have said, “Get
thee behind me Satan.” a few have
fallen with a crash that has shaken
every pulpit in Christendom.
