Some people are so superstitious they won’t sit down to a table
of thirteen people. But if there’s thirteen dollars under the plate
they’ll grab 'em without ever a blink.

A four-year term for the Governor, bi-annual sessions of the leg
islature elacting its members for a full term of four years for two
sessions of the body, should be part of the legislative program for
Georgia this year.
Fifty dollars to dependent families of guardsmen who enlist for
the Mexican war. Now, why not pay $3O to families of dependent
workingmen and farmers who work the year argund to increase the
value of the country’s resources?
Somehow, we are unable to appreciate the fine point that divides
the claim of the one from that of the other, and would like to see the
families of #he constructive workers given at least the same recogni
tion a& the one solely trained to destroy what others have builded.
BUT WHAT ABOUT HIM?
A Chicago preacher is quoted as saying “I believe in the bap
tism of blood-—that death in battle atones for all previous sins and
that the souls of warriors go straight to heaven.” But what about
the Christian ministers who preach such a doctrine? Where do they
go—William Jennings Bryan in “The Commoner.”
THE APPOINTMENT OF THOMAS W. GREGORY.
President Wilson has further improved the personnel of the Su
. preme Court by the appointment of Thomas W. Gasgory, of Texas,
¢ member of the President’s cabinet. Mr. Gregory, like Mr. Bran
deis, distinetively owes his recognition to national prominence, for
his valuable services rendered the public, in trust prosecutions, both
in the Federal as well as in the Courts of his own State, prior to the
time that he became Attorney-General of the United Statgs:
Mr. Gregory will be 55 years old in November. He was born
m Crawfordsville, Miss., @nd was graduated from the Sonthwestern
Eresbyterian University at Clarksville, Tenn., in 1883. He was a
w 1 ~al student at the University of Virginia for a while and finally
:":-1:;2::;1i5 law degree at the University of Texas. He was admitted to
‘,').‘,{” v\'(\‘l‘_\"n Texas in 1885 and began practice in Austin. Fram 1891

B GOOD CROPS, BUT—
T ‘ ¢
hr Crops are unusmally fine for this season of the yeer, and up to
the first of June had reached their present stage with less expense
for labor than any of recent years. Just now, everything points to
a bountiful harvest but—
Don’t count the harvest yet.
First, while cotton plamts are fine, the stands in many fields do
not average over four-fifths. This is due to dry weather at planting
time. Many fields were planted two or more times, and still their
stands are bad.
Now that the raik have come, they are almost daily. A few
weeks of this, and the young cotton will be full of sap. Then, a few
days of blistering, hot, dry weather late in July, and what looks like
@ bountifal crop prospect goes to the ground in discarded forms.
Then comes the rust, “dry winds,” etc., and your bumper crop dis
appears. With so little fertilizer used, it is mot to be exprected that
aheavy c¢rop will be carried to maturity.
Of course, these things may not happen. But it & very prob
able that they will, and it is safe not to count on a bumper crop until
you see it coming into town on wagons. More things can happen to
& cotton crop than to a ¢ouple with their first baby.—Tifton Gazette.
ILLITERATES NORTH AND SOUTH
In the opening paragraph of a short paper on “The American
Iliterate,” written by Winthrop Talbot for the World's Work, is
something to think about, and to remember in order that the pres
ent condition it portrays may be compared with the condtion, say, in
1920. The paragraph reads:
Illiterates are increasing in numbers in New England
and in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and in the
Far West. Illiterates are decreasing #n numbers in the
Southern states. The increase in illiterates is altogether
a product of white immigration. The South is meeting its
problem of the illiterate negro; the North and West are not
meeting their problem of the illiterate white man.
If this be true, there should be no more wild talk of failure on
the part of the South to do its duty toward the negro, and there
should be no more boasting, as by a superior class of persams, of
what the North has done and is doing in matters educational as
‘ompared with what the South is doing. Education’s corner stone
the elimination of illiteracy.
‘aln some of the most prosperous states the number of illiterates
m:rcasing; while in the South the proportion of negro illiteracy,
arding to the author quoted, was cut 25 per cent. in ten years:
't is, between 1900 and 1910, and the number of iliterate negroes
as reduced by nearly 1,000,000. The South is not rich enough to
give its people, whether white or colored, all the schooling it desires,
but'it is apparently doing enough for the negro to put a quietus on
criticism from other sections of its efforts in that respect.—Savannah

OF ME, SAYS NEWMAN]
W. & A. Engineer Was in Bad
Health Ten Years. Says Tan
lac Did Him More Good Than
Everything Else.
“This Tanlac is certainly a rail
road man’s medicine and that is
all there is to it,” said W. G. T.
Newman, a well-known W. & A,
engifieer. - |
*Yes, sir," he continued, “it has
simply made a new man out of
‘me and I can now mount my en
gine and feel as young as [ did
when I first got my run, and I
expect to take it along with me
on my engine for some time to
come.
“I had been suffering from a
mean, nagging stomach trouble
for ten or twelve years, and Tan
lac was the only thing I ever got
hold of to give me any relief.”
“My doctor said I had acid
stomach, and I guess he was right
because I always had a sour taste
in my mouth, and was constantly
belching up sour gases.
“My digestion was awful and
sometimes my food just seemed
to lay in my stomach like lead
and then gas would form and I
would have a full, bloated feeling
that would last for hours. Some
times my stomach would swell
up so 1 could hardly get my
breath. At other times I would
have pains in my back over my
kidneys that would almost bend
me double.
“I was tired and worn eut most
all of the time and was so nervous
[ would almost scream, and was
easily fretted. Then again I
would have headaches and felt
sore all over.
“I bought Tanlac because of the
high testimonials of my railroad
friecnds, and 1 can understand
now why they all allowed their
names to be published. I think
it is a medicine that everybody
should know about, because it
has done me more good than ev
ery other medicine I have taken
put together.
“My appetite is good now and.
cverything I eat agrees with me.
[ am not nervous any more eith
¢r and can take more interest in
everything. That's what this
medicine has done for me.”
Mr. Newman, who made the
above statement, has been an en
gineer on the W. & A. railroad
betweem Atlanta and Dalton for
the past twelve years, and his
hundreds of friends all along that
diviston, and at his home in Dal
ton, will be glad to hear of his
complete restoration to health. l

GUARDSMAN HAD TO EN

Atlanta, Ga., June 24.—Re
cruiting for the Fifth regiment of
the Georgia National Guard
‘which consists of Atlanta com
panies, as well as for units of the
Guard throughout the state, was
given a very decided stimulus
vesterday by the announcement
that regiments will go direct to
the border without stopping at
state sobilization camps, as soon
as they have enlisted up to the
minimum stréngth of 65 men
per company. i
An able-bodied young Atlan
tian with no wife or others de-‘
pendent upon him was a member
of the company in the Fifth
Georgia regiment for a year ori
more. When Secretary Baker’s
famous call came out last Sun-‘
day for the National Guard to
proceed to the border, and thei
companies assembled at the ar
mory and ‘began to make their
hurried preparations, the young
Atlantian reported along with the
rest, l

to the new oath of enlistment,
whereby the United Seates gov

TO THE VOTERS OF THE
THIRD CONGRESSION
AL DISTRICT
I hereby respectfully announce
my candidacy for re-election as
your Representative in the Sixty-
Fifth (65) Congress, subject to
the Primary to be held Septem
ber 12,
During the short time I have
been your congressman, I have
sincerely endeavored to serve you
faithfully, and if my efforts and
record meet with your approval, I
will feel greatly honored and pro
foundly grateful if you will give
me your support in the coming
election. Congress has been in
almost continuous session since
vou elected me, and duty required
me to stay here, which prevent
ed me from visiting you as often
as I wished. The Ways and
Means Committee is now daily
working on a Revenue measure;
being on that committee, I must
remain here until the new tax law
is pasesd. As soon as Congress
adjourns, or before then, if public
business will permit me to leave,
I expect to canvass the District,
meet the people personally, and
talk to them face to face, both in
dividaully and on the stump.
If re-elected, I promise to dis
charge the duties of the great of
fice with fidelity, and to the best
of my ability.
From the depths of my heart I
thank you for your past kindness
to me.
Cordially yours,
Dd-sep-19. Charles R. Crisp.
turned to his place of business
and began to laugh and tell the
boys how cleverly he had put one
over the militia.
About that time his employer,
who had overheard him, walked
up and told him if he was that
sort of a soldier he could get his
|hat and coat ané leave at once,
as he wanted mo such cattle in his
employ.
“Wait a minute and let me con
sider,” expostulated the young
guardsman.
“Go to the armory and eon
sider,” was his employer’s stern
reply. “If you enlist and go to
Mexico and are fortunate enough
to get back your job will be wait
ing for you, and half your salary
will run along every month. But
if you don’t, you needn’t come
back any more.
The young man went to the
armory and enlisted.
