THE WOULD GOES ON.
The world Roee onward all the earne,
'Mid palma of peace or battle flame;
One measure of just joy to me
And one impartial Bharo to thee;
We fight, we plan;—our own dream seems
The first and last of all the dreams.
The highest and holiest need
Of life and land and time and deed;
We vanish—but the world goes on
Unto Botneunrison dawnl
The world goes onward all the while.
If wo weep or if we smile;
We blow our bubble, chase our ray
And have our little part to play.
The chance, the strife, the take and give.
The living and the letting live.
The coming forth and going by
With winged Icarius to fly;
We fall, we fade, and are undone.
But not the dawn and not the sun!
The world goes onward all the time.
With sob and Bigh or Bong and rhyme;
We come and go and build our spire
And dream our dream of old desire;
We work and wait and rest and Bleep,
And we are dust, and inossea creep,
And all we did to make time sweet
Time treads in dust beneath its feet;
We halt, we pause, our Hags are furled,
But ever onward goes the world 1
How to Post Land.
We are frequently asked what is the
law governing the posting of land, and
for the benefit of all who may be in
terested we print below the Act in full
prescribing how it shall be done :
"Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of Georgia, That
section 221 of the third volume of the
Code of 1896 be and the same is hereby
amended, so that said section, when
amended, shall read as follows, to-wit:
If any person or persons shall hunt
with dogs, firearms, or in any other way,
on any lands, enclosed or unenclosed,
of another, or fish with hook, seine,
net or in any other way in any streams,
lakes, ponds or lagoons of another, af
ter being forbidden so to do, when or
dered to desist therefrom by the owner
thereof, or by the person having same
in charge, or his agent, such person
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemean
or. It Bhall be the duty of the land-
owner to post a notice in two or more
places on each tract of land owned by
the party posting the same, forbidding
all persons to hunt thereon or fish in
the streams, ponds, lnkes or lagoons be
longing to said owners thereof. When
said lands are posted such posting shall
be held and deemed a legal notice un
der this section.
Sec. 2. It shall be the duty of the Oi>
dinaries of the several counties of this
State, or the Commissioners of Ronds
and Revenues in such counties where a
Board of Commissioners of Roads and
Revenues exists, to furnish a suitable
book, to be known as "the register for
posting lands," to the Clerk of the Su
perior Court of their respective coun
ties, in which the landowner shall reg
ister his or her name, after having first
stated in the presence of the officers in
charge of said book that the two no
tices have already been posted upon
said landowner’s land, as required by
section 1 of this Act.
Sec. 3. The posting of the notices at
two or more places on each tract of
land (although such notices, from any
cause, should thereafter be defaced,
knocked down, or destroyed,) and the
registering of the landowner’s name in
the book to be kept for that purpose
in the office of the Clerk of the Supe
rior Court of each county in this State,
shall be deemed and held a legal notice
under this section.
Sec. 4. It shall be the duty of the
Receiver of tax returns of the several
counties of this State to carry said
register for posting lands with them
on all their rounds when receiving tax
returns, and all land owners who have
placed a notice at two or more places
on their land as required by this Act
are hereby authorized to register their
names in the register for posted lands
in the presence of the Tax Receiver of
their county in the same way as if reg
istered in the presence of the Clerks
of Superior Courts of their several
counties, it being the intention of this
Act to permit the landowners to regis
ter their names in the register for
posted lands, either in the presence of
the Clerk of the Superior Coourt of
their county, or in the presence of the
Receiver of tax returns of their coun
ty. At the time of the registering of
the name of the landowner he shall
also register a description of the lands
that have been posted, giving the dis
trict in which said lands are located,
and either the numbers of the lots or
other description of the lands sufficient
to put the public on notice of the lands
referred to. For registering Baid narries
and description the officer in whose
presence the registry is made is au
thorized to charge and collect a fee of
twenty-five cents from the person so
registering.
Sec. 5.* The book known as the
"register for posted lands” shall be
kept in the office of the Clerk of the
Superior Court, except while being
used by the Receiver of tax returns
while making his rounds, as provided in
section 4 of this Act, it being the
purpose of this Act to provide the
parties posting the lands, as well as
the parties desiring to hunt or fish, the
privilege and opportunity to examine
the register.

Man is a social animal. To disregard
your fellow is to defy the lightning.
Next State Administration Will Be
Up Against the Rocks.
The General Assembly of 1907-1908
hands the State over to its successor of
1909-1910 in bad financial shape. Reve
nue has been cut off and appropriations
increased, and of course you cunnot di
minish your income and augment your
expenditures without getting into
trouble.
Being in trouble we must get out as
best we may, and the first step townrd
getting out of trouble is to ascertain
exnctly what got us in. When you are
lost in the woods there is no sense in
blundering about haphazard, trusting
to luck to get out; the proper thing is
to retrace your steps, get back to the
point of departure, if possible, and take
a fresh start.
We annihilated our liquor system,
which had been in existence for a cen
tury, and put no other system in its
stead.
Again, we had a convict system which
had been in vogue for forty years.
It developed defects, some of them se
rious. but instead of directing our at
tention to these imperfectona we be
came hysterical, arrived at the conclu
sion that the system was too large for
us to handle, and in token of our ina
bility to grapple with it wiped it out
altogether, and made no provision for
the loss of revenue theroby created.
In the year 1906 our State Treasury
received $242,044.92 from liquor tax
and $340,011.22 from convict hire. This
annual tevenue of $582^546.14 the Gen
eral Assembly of 1907-1908 annihilated.
It is a little over 17 per cent, of our
entire revenue.
Having thus most materially de
creased the revenue, the same General
Assembly proceeded to most materially
increase our public expenditures. It
increased the school appropriation $250,-
000 and other appropriations $126,000,
thus adding $386,000 to the out-go,
while taking off $680,000 from the in
come, thereby making a difference as
against taxpayers of $956,000 per an
num.
Nor is this all it did. It proposed an
amendment to the Constitution which
practically places on the pension roll
every man who ever served in the Con
federate army, such pension to be con
tinued to his widow—the cost of which
is estimated by some at $1,000,000 per
annum The maimed, the blind, the
permanently disabled, tho infirm, the
needy veterans and their widows, are
already amply provided for. This new
proposition is not for their benefit, but
is exclusively for those who do not
come within the above-mentioned cate
gory.
In the meantime what are we going
to do about it? Are we going to sit
around and talk, or are we going to
get together and act?
How to Make Mischief.
Keep your eyes on your neighbors.
Take care of them. Do not let them
stir without watching. They may do
something wrong if you do. To be sure
you never knew them to do anything
bad, but it may be on your account
they have not. Perhaps if it had not
been for your kind care they might
have disgraced themselves a long time
ago. Therefore do not relax an effort
to keep them where they ought to be.
Never mind your own business—that
will take care of itself. There is a man
passing along—he is looking over the
fence. Be suspicious of him. Perhaps
he contemplates stealing some of these
dark nights; there is no knowing what
queer fancies he may have got in his
head.
If you find any symptoms of anyone
passing out of the path of duty, tell ev
eryone else what you see, and be par
ticular and see a great many. It is a
good way to circulate such things, it
may not«benefit yourself or anyone
else particularly. Do keep something
going — silence i3 a dreadful thing.
Though it is said there was silence in
heaven for the space of half an hour,
do not let such a thing occur on earth;
it would be too much for this mundane
sphere.
If, after all your watchful care, you
cannot see that they have done any
thing bad, throw out the hint that they
are no better than they should be—that
you should not wonder if the people
found out what they were after awhile;
then they may not carry their heads so
high. Keep it going, and some one may
take the hint and begin and help it
along after awhile;—then there will be
music, and everything will work like a
charrn.
Follow the above directions and you
will be pretty sure to make plenty of
mischief.

An Ill-timed Bouquet.
Jumps II. Collins in Circle Mngnzlne.
Some years ago an attorney was
called in by a large company and hand
ed a lease.
"Give us your opinion," said the
president. "We hare n great deal of
this sort of legal business, and it is
only fair to say that your opinion may
mean much to us and yourself."
The lawyer went through the docu
ment with some care, but quickly, and
to tho spot.
"Um—will you tell me whnt firm
drew up this instrument?" he asked,
at length.
"No firm at all,” was the reply.
"For five years we have drawn overy
lease made by our company right in
this office. My subordinate here, Mr.
Johns, is the only man wo have ever
found who thoroughly understands the
complications and conditions of such
transactions ns we went into.”
The attorney’s fnce brightened.
"This is one of best drawn leases l
have ever examined,” he said heartily.
"You are wise to handle such matters
inside your own organization. I com
mend your business judgment.”
"Can you suggest any improve
ment?”
"None whatever,” declared tho law
yer.
"Can you discern any ffnws?”
"No — emphatically ! Mr. Johns,”
continued the attorney, turning to the
president’s assistant, "I want to con
gratulate you, as a lawyer, upon your
thorough grusp of thiB most difficult
branch. In my opinion this instrument
is unassailable. It will hold in the
highest court of this State.”
"That is what we want—your honest
opinion,” said tho president. "You
have given it and we are much obliged
to you, and shall be pleased to hnvo a
bill for your service. My dear sir, the
highest court in the State declared this
lease null nnd void last week, and we
have lost a ten-thousand-dollar suit
upon it!”
A State Capitol Sensation.
An Atlanta special to tho Savannah
News says there is considerable gossip
at the capitol anent an alleged sensa
tional incident which is said to have
transpired in the meeting of the State
School Book Commission, which had
under consideration the matter of
adopting new text-books for the com
mon schools.
The rumor, which has it that the
commission was divided three to two
on many matters, particularly whore
the substitution of books was con
cerned, was recently published in the
Macon Telegraph, and iB said to have
provoked a warm correspondence be
tween Gov. Smith and Editor C. R.
Pendleton of that paper. According to
the report Gov. Smith and State School
Commissioner Pound are said to have
composed the minority, and Attorney-
General Hart, Secretary of State Phil
Cook and Comptroller-General Wright
the majority.
Discussions pro and con are said to
have been carried on with some little
asperity, with a passage of some sever
ity between the Governor and Attor
ney-General.
The claim is made that the situation
grew out of the minority’s opposition
to the books of a certain publishing
house, while the majority protested
against the effort to make any more
changes than were absolutely necessary
on account of the expense to the peo
ple.
None of the members of the commis
sion will talk about it, but that some
thing happened seems apparent from
the munner in which they seek to put
aside discussion of the subject.
There has been recalled by the death
of James W. Paul, the Philadelphia
banker, this story which he told long
ago:
"I was going home one night late and
saw a man who had evidently looked
too deep into the cup making frantic
but unsuccessful efforts to open a door
with a latch-key. I decided to help the
man, who was not so far gone as to
have forgotten his politeness, for before
entering the house through the door
which he had succeeded in opening, he
asked my name and thanked me. 1 pro
ceeded to go my way, but had only gone
a few steps when I heard someone call:
'Mr. Paul, Mr. Paul!’ I turned and
there was my friend of the latch-key
coming toward me with unsteady gait.
He put one hand affectionately on my
shoulder, and. looking me in the face,
said: ‘Say, did you ever get an an
swer to that long letter you wrote to
the Thessalonians?’ ”
Two women walked into a Jewelry
store. One of them wanted to buy a
wedding present, and asked to look at
a soup ladle. Her companion turned
up her nose at a soup ladle. "I received
one when I was married,” the first wo
man said, "and it was the most useful
present I received. It’t the only thing
I can give the baby to play with that
he doesn’t swallow.”
The Marvelous South.
Waahington Post.
Fifty years ago the South lay pros
trate, her fields devastated, her indus
tries obliterated. She boasted only of
her past, and lifted up the remnants
of her bruised spirit to glorify tradi
tions which war had swept away. To
day she is almost riotous in tho fervor
of her industrial activity. Her boast is
her progress; she glorifies no more in
ancient ancestors and families; to
search and tell in simple, direct lan
guage the romance of self-sacrifice, of
noble endeavor, of high achievement,
of devotion to others—not forgetting
the traditions of her past, but the
promises for her future. The history of
the Southern States for the last 56
years Is, perhaps, tho most remarkable
recorded of any section of tho world in
so brief a time. Not even the captains
of industry, with their fingers constant
ly on the pulses of trade, conceive the
phenomenal rapidity of industrial
growth at the South without the aid of
figures. Figures do not lie, and it is
only their reputation for veracity that
saves the sturtling figures showing the
South’s prosperity from impeachment.'
In 1858 the amount of cnpital invest
ed in Southern industries might be rep
resented as nearly nil. In 1881 it had
grown to $21,000,000 for cotton mills
alone. But 28 years later, in 1908, the
amount of capital invested in cotton
mills had grown to $266,600,000, an in
crease of almost 1,100 per cent. In
1858 the coal mined in .the Southern
States was insignificant. By 1880 the
coal output had grown to 6,000,000 tons,
and in 1890 the mines of the South
producced 95,000,000 tons. In 1880 the
farm products of this section, regarded
since the war bh "poor folks’ country,”
wore valued at $660,000,000. Tho value
of Southern farm products for the cur
rent year is estimated at $2,225,000,000.
A Magazine of Good Cheer.
Here is the unique plan of the Circle
Magazine, which is not a new maga
zine but one that is taking a new grip
on the public. It is worth spreading
broadcast: i
To show that beauty, and honor, and
kindness, and joy have not vanished
from off - the face of the earth, nor out
of the hearts of men; to recognize and
exploit the good in social, business, and
public life; to find in individuals and in
families the secrets of the life worth
living, and then to tell these secrets to
the humble and obscure while admiring
the brilliant and famous; to spread
contagion of good until men and women
and little children In every great city
and every remote hamlet shall be
caught in the epidemic; to come close
to the hearts of these men and women
and little children, and draw them, if
we may, close to ub in mutual sym
pathy and helpfulness; to encourage
and Join in their work and their play;
to provide stories, and music, and pic
tures, and fun ; to arouse enthusiasm;
tojiwaken ambition; to guide this
enthusiasm and this ambition into prac
tical, worthy, successful effort; to be
a magazine that loves and is proud of
the people both in city and country, in
mansion and cottage, in high position
and at the work bench, and that shall
win the love nnd pride of these people
in return—this is The Circle plan.
