Pardon for Ex-Senator Dodd.
The prison commission recommend
ed that a pardon be granted former
State Senator W. P. Dodd of the for
ty-third district, who is serving a two
vears’. sentence at the state prison
farm for embezzlement of county
school funds while he was school com
missioner of Gordon county. Dodd
has served a year and one month
of his sentence.
His friends at once began a move
ment to secure g pardon for him.
Never 'has the prison commission had 4
0 unanimous a request for clemency.‘
Not only was it signed by nearly all
of Gordon county, but even the grand
jury of Bartow county, adjoining Gor
don, urged the commission to grant
him a pardon. Every member of the
state senate in which Dodd had served
strongly urged his pardon and numer
ous reguests in his behalf came from
all parts of the state.
~ The commission, however, decide(‘:‘
that in view of Dodd’s conviction of |
| this crime, even though there ‘appear-‘
ed extenuating circumstances, hej
shoulg be required to serve at least}
a year of his sentence before favor
able action was taken.

GAS AND WATER.
S ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER?
Citizens of Large Cities Say 1t Is,
New York, June 13.—1 n the recent
agitation here about the price of gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every resi
dent is as dependent upon a suppiy of
gas as upon a supply of good water,
It has come to pass that the day la
borer uses gas as iis only fuel for
eroking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, is
cheaper, better and more satisfaetory
than any other kind of light. Gas’
sells at $l.OO per thousand cubic feet
in large cities, and from that to as high
ag $3.00 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene (pronounced a-set-a
lene), and each user makes his pwn gas
aud is independent of Gas and Electvie
i Companies. Acetylene is a more per
fect illuminant than the gas sold by
the big gas companies in the cities, and
the cost to the smallest user is about
the equivalent of city gas at 85 cents
per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily ne
cessities.
The light from an acetylene flame is
soft, steady and brilliant, and in qual
ity is only rivaled by thke sun's rays.
If water and a solid material known as
Calcium Carbide are brought into con
tact, the immediate result is the mak
ing of this wonderful gas. The genera
tion of acetylene-is so simple that ex
perience or evenapparatus is not neces
| sary to make it. If it is desired to
make it fer practical lighting, and to
keep it for immediate use, then a small
machine called an ‘“Acetylene Genera
tor” is employed. There are many re
sponsible concerns making acetylene
generators. In practice this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
| buildings, grounds or entire cities and
towns in the same manner as ordinary
city gas. Acetylene is the only satis
‘factory means of lighting isolated
‘buildings_ located in the country or
| suburbs &t a distance from city gas or
i electric plants.:
|'HE HAD A JONAH'S TIME OF IT.
Evangelist Working Way to Mexice
Cast Away in a Storm. '
The Rev. J. M. Johnson, an evange
tlist, who is conducting a series of
lunion Gospel meetings in Laredo,
| Texas, recently had to underge some
|of the experiences of the Biblical
’Jonah, but the whale did not come
Ito swallow hirma., Mr. Johnson is a
young man who was admitted to the
|mlnistry a few years ago, and was
!'paxstor of the First Congregational
| Church of Lake Charles, La.
I A few weeks ago he was imprezssed
. witk the belief that he was called to
' preach the Gospel to the poor people
[of Mexico. He was without m.ney,
fo he shipped as cook ou a fishing
- vessel, bound for 'the red snapper
banks of Tampico, Mexico.
' The fishing fleet had gone about
| 200 miles when a violent storin arnse.
Mr., Johnson then made it known that
he was a minister and weps axiong
the crew, trying to quiet their fears.
The motley lot, filled with supersti
| tion, raised the cry tuat the cook
i was the hoodoo of the whole flect. It
- was resolved that he shou!d be cast
overboard. His pleadings, hcwever,
resulted in their placing him in &
' small boat to drift in a terrific sea.
He was picked up by another boat,
but set adrift again, with no food or
water.
For three days he was at the mercy
of the seas. He prayed and wept by
turns. Great billows rolled over the
boat. On the evening of the third
day he was picked up by a fishing
yawl homeward bound for Rockport,
Texas. He was almost unconscious.
After recuperating at Lockport he
came to Laredq. His revival meet
ings here are largely attended, ana
he has made many conversions. He
says that he is still determined to
enter the Mexican field—MNew York
Times. :

i Home Industries Tor Boer Women.
i The Manchester Guardian describ
ed an attempt which is belng made
i in the Orange River Colony to teach
certain home industries to members
‘of Boer households impoverished by
the war. The scheme is directed by
Miss Hobhouse and supported by a
jcommittee in Englana. The first ex
‘periment has been made in the small
town of Philippolis, where there are
‘now fourteen girls learning the whole
‘process of weaving wool into gar
ments, carpets, &c., in the first place
for home use, but afterward, it is
‘ hoped, for sale.
~ As the writer points out, home in
dustries have a better chance of suc
cess in a country like the Orange
River Colony, tnat is almost destitute
of manufactures, than in an industrial
country. The girls astonish their
teachers by the quickness with which
they learn all the processes by which
wool is converted from the raw ma
terial into the finished article. It is
proposed also to teach lacemaking,
for which there is sald to be a good
market, and to establish all the in
dustries that may be taught on a co
operative basis with co-operative
credit for the purpose of buying ma
chinery, tools, &c. .
The girls have taken to the scheme
with much eagerness. Some of them
come to Philippolis from outlying
farms a good distance away, and the
work, whatever commercial success it
may have, is a welcome relief to them
from the enforced idleness which is
often one of the most irksome results
of sudden poverty. The scheme at
present is supported by only a hun
dred subscribers. We hope this num:
ber will soon be enlarged. :
Birds That Build.
Among the birds of the western
hemisphere the best mason is a pot
ter as well; This is the oven bird of
the pampas in South America. It is
called the “casara,” a housebuilder by
the Spaniards. The nest is mad 2 of
mud and bits of straw, practically the
‘same as the material used for most
Ibuilding:s in Mexico. The wallg are
very thick and there is a partition
wall insid?, reaching so high as to
form an antechamber.
UNIQUBE.
“We've got a new dinner set of
150 pieces.”
“We’ve got one of 150,000 pieces.”
“Why, 1 never heard of such a
thing!”
“Neither did we till we got our
present cook.,”—Houston Post.
FEED YOUNG GIRLS.
Nust Have Right Food While Growing
Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl is
just merging into womanhood that the
diet shall contain all that is upbuilding,
and notfng harmful.
At that age the structure is being
formed and if formed of a healthy,
sturdy character, health and happiness
will follow; on the other hand un
healthy eells may be built in and a sick
condition slowly supervene which, if
not checked, may ripen into a chronic
disease and cause lifedong suffering.
A young lady says:
“Coffee began to have such an effect
on my stomach a few years ago, that I
was compelled to quit using it. It
brought on headaches, pains in - iny
muscles, and nervousness.
“I tried to use tea in its stead, but
found its effects even worse than those
l I suffered from coffee. Then for a long
| time I drank milk alone at my meals,
but it never helped me physically, and
at last it palled on me, A fricad came
{ to the rescue with the suggestion that
1 try Postum Coffee,
“I qid so, uly to find at first, that I
didn’t faney it. But I had heard of so
many persons who had been benefited
by its use that I persevered, and when
I had it brewed right found it grateful
in flavor and soothing and strengthen
ing to my stomach, I ¢an find no
words to express my feeling of what
I owe to Postum IFood Coffee!
“In every respect it has worked a
wonderful improvement —the head
im'lms, nervousness, the pains in my
] side and back, all the distressing symp
| toms yielded to the magic power of

in the betterment of my physical con
dition: it seems keener, more alert and
