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. Approved Aug. 16, 1908. 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. Here is Relief for Women.

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.
