Tribute of Respect.
On the evening of Dec. 29, 1908. the
messenger came to our beloved sister,
Edna R. Parrott, saying: “The Master
is come, and calleth for thee.” She
heard, arose, and went to Him. While
her departure has left sad and aching
hearts, it is to her the consummation of
the Christian’s hope—to be present
with the Lord. Death is always sad,
especially when it comes to one so
young. Edna was in the springtime of
a happy life, filled with the buoyant
hopes that animate the young. To the
natural mind her death was untimely,
and an inscrutable mystery. Faith
alone can sustain and bear us up in the
presence of such a providence. A sim
ple and child-like faith makes the
grave the shrine of hope, and hears
from the depths of the tomb the Easter
greeting: “He is not here; He is ris
en.” The light of Christianity has dis
pelled the gloom of the grave. The
death of the pious young is to them a
blessing. God accents the promise for
the performance, and whilst the faith
ful, earnest laborer is asking, “Lord,
what wilt Thou have me to do?” He
answers, “Enter thou into the joy of
thy Lord.” Christianity alone hallows
an early decease. Paganism bewails
it as an unmitigated calamity ; Judaism
contemplates it as an inscrutable mys
tery ;—but the gospel consecrates it
with its sacred benediction, as the
speedy beginning of a higher and hap
pier life. Her family and friends do
not mourn as those who have no hope.
Her Christian example is worthy of
emulation, and the influence of her god
ly life wiii rest like a benediction upon
her home. Since its organization she
has been a faithful member of the Bi
ble Study Circle of the Central Baptist
church. She loved the Scriptures. Reg
ular in her attendance, she was helpful
and instructive in spiritual things. A
divine presence seemed to have led her
to “so number her days as to apply her
heart unto wisdom.” That life, how
ever few be its years, is not unfinished
which had learned to know God. “This
is life eternal, that they may know
Thee, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom Thou hast sent.” To
know God is the highest conception of
life; it is the perfection of existence.
To the grief-stricken family we tender
our sincerest sympathy, and the assur
ance of our prayers. As an evidence
of the love and esteem we bear her, be
it resolved—
1. That in the death of Sister Edna
A. Parrott the Bible Study Circle of the
Central Baptist church has lost an
earnest and consecrated member, and
the cause of truth a devoted follower.
2. That this memorial of her be
printed, and a copy furnished her fam
ily. Mrs. H. C. Glover,
Mrs. N. L. North,
Mrs. H. A. Hall,

Georgia’s Vote is Cast for Bryan.
Atlanta, Dec. 11. — Assembled in
solemn conclave in the State Chamber
at the State Capitol at noon to-day the
thirteen Democratic electors, compos
ing the Georgia electoral college,
unanimously declared that the State of
Georgia has elected William Jennings
Bryan, of Nebraska, President of the
United States. John W. Kern, of In
diana. was unanimously elected Vice-
President.
The college was called to order by
Eb T. Williams, who was then elected
president without opposition. Benja
min M. Blackburn was elected secre-
tar.\.
Mr. Bryan and Mr. Kern were elec
ted President and Vice-President, re
spectively, on the first ballot. The tel
lers were Frank H. Saffold, James R.
Pottle and Samuel J. Boykin.
Having disposed of the formality of
electing a President and Vice-President
for ;’.,o United States, the electoral
college directed its attention to the
election of a special messenger, who
shall be entrusted with the obligation
of conveying the important information
to the President of the Senate at Wash
ington.
Clayton Robson, of Baldwin county,
was elected on the first bal'ot, receiv
ing seven out of thirteen votes. John
Corrigan, of Fulton county, received
two votes and T. K. Oglesby, of Sa
vannah,^received four votes.

Cause of Car Sickness.
W. c. Wood attributes car sickness
to the nystagmus produced by looking
out of the car windows. Look out of
a car window and observe how
rapidly the telegraph polos lilt by.
Each otto Is seen and Involuntarily fol
lowed by the o.ve until It Is opposite,
when the eye shifts to the one follow
ing. This Is true of near buildings.
Objects farther away seoui to move
slower, and those very far oil’ soetn to
be almost stationary until the whole
landscape appears to be revolving
round u common center. The un
conscious effort to take In everything
produces a rapid lateral oscillation of
the eyeballs, as any one can observe
by watching the eyes of Ills follow
passengers. The eye strain Is enor
mous and Is the chief factor In pro
ducing car sickness. ■ This can he
proved by asking a patient who Is
subject to car sickness to look steadily
at a mirror which Is moved rapidly-
to and fro or tilted backward and
forward. He will Immediately com
plain of nausea and vertigo. The
treatment consists of advising the
patient to avoid looking out of the car
windows and In giving him a grain of
cltrated caffeine shortly before he
takes the cars and repeating it every
hour as long as there Is any tendency
to he sick. The author has been en
abled by tills procedure to relieve
many sufferers from car sickness.—

The Ship's Bell Clock.
In Its mosf 1 ordinnry form the ship’s
bell clock Is a stout, well made clock,
a good timekeeper, contained In n
round nickel plated case gjx or seven
Inches In diameter whlcll is mounted
on a board that can he hung on or
screwed to a wall or bulkhead. The
face of the clock, the dial, Is of finish
ed steel, and Its pointers are of blued
steel, so that with its nickeled case
the whole clock has a metallic, solid,
serviceable look.
Attached to a projection of the board
upon which the clock is placed, out
side the clock and Immediately below
It, Is the clock’s gong, with the ham
mers—there are two of them—brought
down Into It on arms extending
through nil opening In the clock's case
and striking on the gong's inner side.
It Is u sturdy gong two or thr.ee' Inches
In diameter, and it sounds with a
strong, clear, resolute note when the
hammer strikes It. On this clock's
face you can tell the time In the usual
way, but the hours are struck as they
are at sea on a ship's bell.-New York
Sun.
Fresh.
There was no doubt about it. lie
was very angry when lie entered the
village grocery store and demanded tc
see the proprietor.
“You sold my wife some eggs yester
day, Mr. I’envey,” he said when the
grocer appeared.
“Waal, yes,” said Mr. Peavey genial
ly, “believe 1 did.”
“And you told her that they were
fresh eggs,” continued the visitor.
“Waal, yes; It seems to me I did,”
said Mr. Peavey.
“But, see here, Peavey, you had no
business to say they were fresh eggs.”
“Why not? I bought ’em for fresh
—from Si Wiley too.”
“I don’t believe It. Si Wiley’s an
honest man.”
“Waal, SI said It, all right, lie come
In hero with his basket full of ’em and
put ’em down on the counter and trad
ed ’em off for a box of sody biscuits."
“When was this?"
“Oh, I dunno. 'Bout six weeks ago.
I guess.”—Baltimore American.
How He Knew.
A ragman who was gathering up
woraout clothing in the country pur
chased u pair of discarded trousers at
a farmhouse and remarked to the man
of the house us he paid for the stuff
he had bought:
"I see, sir, that you are about to lose
your land on a mortgage.”
“Guess you ure right,” said the dis
couraged looking farmer, “but will you
tell me how the Sam Hill you found
that out?”
“Easy enough,” said the cheerful
ragman ns he settled back on the seat
of his peddling wagon. “I notice that
these old pants arc completely played
out, so far as the part of ’em you sat
down on Is concerned, but they show
mighty little wear nowhere else.”—
Exchange.
Ju«t His Luck.
“William, Freddie informs me that
his teacher has decided to advance him
from the sixth to the seventh grade
owing to his fine deportment and his
praiseworthy attention to his studies."
“Pshaw! That’s just my luck!”
“Why, what makes you say that?”
“I had It all figured out that I was
going to be about $10 ahead at the end
of this month. Now It will be neces
sary to buy a new set of schoolbooks.”
—Chicago Record-Ilerald.
The Invisible Point.
It was an awfully old joke, but the
American thought it might cause his
English friend to generate a smile.
“Just before I sailed for Liverpool,”
said the American, "I dreamed that I
was dead, and the heat woke me up.”
“So?” rejoined the Englishman seri
ously. “The weather must be beastly
hot In America.”—Chicago News.
Luck.
‘Do you believe there Is anything In
luck?" asked the young man.
“Yes,” answered the home grown
philosopher. "There is a lot of Intelli
gence and perseverance In it.”—Ex
change.

shoe horses unless he has passed a

Hotel Grafters.
The proprietor of one of the largest
hotels In New York, speaking of the
uses made liy nonpaying customers of
his house, said to a rural guest a few
days ago: “We have a largo number of
patrons from whom we never collect
a cent, although we have no such
thing as a free list. They come here
in the morning, pick up a castoff pa
per, which they read, keeping an eye
open for another, which they grab as
soon as it is dropped. After reading
awhile they stand at the ticker, often
giving long lectures to their follows on
financial conditions and stock possi
bilities. The overcoat becomes burden
some, and It is taken to the cheek
room, where its owner knows it will
he perfectly safe. Then, If they can
tear themselves from the ticker, let
ters are written on our stationery.
They do not use our telephones lie-
cause wo charge an extra 5 cents for
the call, but they carry home matches,
toothpicks, blank cards and blotters
and use up the soap In our lavatories.
They also take generous nibbles of
the cheese nnd crackers In tho cafe.
The strangest part of all Is this—that
the majority of this class are well to
do and highly respectable, and on that
account we do not shut them out."—

The Sleeping Sickness. .
The terrible sleeping sickness of
tropical Afrien Is discussed at length
In an article in Popular Meehanies.
The disease, which long baffled scien
tists, Is sprend by the tsetse fly, a
bloodsucking, dny flying Insect. On the
approach of either man or unlmal nt a
river crossing In the densest forest
the victim Is soon scented out by the
fly, If there Is one In the vicinity, und
then, either silently or with u peevish
buzz, It makes straight for the most
accessible spot and gives Its stab.
The usual course of the disease Is
from four to eight months. At the
outset there are headache, a feverish
condlton, lassitude und a correspond
ing disinclination to work. The facial
nspect changes, and n previously happy
and Intelligent looking negro becomes
Instead dull, heavy and apathetic.
Later, tremor in the tongue develops,
speech Is uncertain, and mumbling,
walk shuffling nnd progressive weak
ness, drowsiness und oblivion to his
surroundings nffliot the sufferer. The
last stage Is marked by extreme ema
ciation and a coma deepening Into
death.
Cause of Fatty Heart.
The great danger from obesity lies
In the liability of the fat to invade the
cellular elements of the body, especial
ly the muscles. This produces fatty
degeneration of the muscular tissues,
which greatly weakens nnd Impairs
their functional activity. When the
fat Invades the tissues of the henrt
muscles the disease known ns “fatty
degeneration of the heart” results, nnd
the patient Is In serious danger. When
ever a slight additional strain upon the
circulation results from undue exer
cise, excitement or other cause the
muscles Interfere with the heart’s ac
tion, and It is liable to cease beating
Anaemia and hysteria often nre accom
paniments of obesity. Because of the
increased weight and difficulty of
moving about such patients are pre
vented from taking an ordinary
amount of exercise. Often, too, there
ore a lassitude and a positive dislike
for muscular exertion of any kind.—

From Medicine to the Drama.
The earlier part of Vlctorien Sar-
dou’s career was beset with many
trials nnd difficulties. Ills parents
wished him to tnke up a medical ca
reer, nnd he began his studies with
some zeal. The love of the drama,
however, was far greater than the
love of the pill box, nnd In the Inter
val of the other work Sardou was
busy upon n pluy. Life was a strug
gle for him, for he had little money,
though he managed to get Journalistic
work to supplement his more slender
income. His first piny wns a failure,
and Sardou rushed from the theater
vowing never to enter one again. He
fell seriously 111, wns nursed buck to

from that time his fortune wns made.

Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
One of the impossible things of life
is to successfully establish a new paper
where one is already covering the field.
This has been tried time and again, and
it has been found impossible to break
down an old established paper and put
a new one on its feet, when the field is
only large enough for one.
Over in Eastman The Times-Journal
was covering the field most admirably.
There was no reason why a new paper
should have been established, and yet
The Hustler sprang into existence. It
led a precarious life for some months,
and is now dead for all time.
We regret that anyone should lose
money in a newspaper venture, but
there will always be money lost when
the reason for a new paper is no more
apparent than it was in Eastman when
The Hustler was established.
“ We congratulate the editor of The
Times-Journal over the vindication of
his course in conducting a clean, read
able, newsy paper. Opposition may
come to him again, but it will sooner
or later fail, if he continues to print as
good a paper as The Times-Journal is
now. _
