It is to be hoped that interest in the new railroad and other projected en terprises, which have absorbed public attention the past few weeks, will not cause our people to lose sijfht of the school question. Good schools'are of vastly more importance to the commu nity than a new railroad, or any other prospective enterprise that has been discussed, or that can be now called to mind. The proposed issue of bonds for the purpose of providing: additional school facilities is directly in line with other improvements and extensions that have been found necessary from time to time to meet the demands of our growing town. Since the opening of the fall term the total enrollment of white children in our public schools has reached S02, and in the colored schools 377. Nearly twelve hundred children in school, and comfortable school-room for not more than half that number! The Temple avenue school has long since outgrown the building, and it has been necessary to rent rooms in private homes near by to accommodate the overflow from some of the grades. Even the playground is overcrowded, with no outlet for the romping young sters at play time except the streets. In tln> South Ncwnnn school the teach ers are required to double on the grades that is to say, each teacher has two grades. School work under such conditions is necessarily deficient and unsatisfac tory, and the pity of it is, the children are the chief sufferers. The teachers do as much as could be expected of them under the circumstances; -the wonder is that they are able to make as creditable a showing as they do. Here and there you will tind a child less citizen who is opposed to bonds, on the ground that a bond issue will in crease his taxes. Against this selfish objection we put the welfare of the children of the entire community, and believe the children deserve to win. Moreover, regarding the question of taxes, we believe that with better school facilities (with such increased efficiency of the system as is now de manded,) will result in an enhance ment of property values that will offset a hundred times over the small levy that may be necessary to meet the bond payments as they fall due. Don’t lose sight of the schools! will be recalled that the asylum physi cians testified that Bell was afflicted with a form of dementia known as de lusional insanity, and they advised against his release from the institu tion. Yesterday’s tragedy proves that they were right. The asylum experts understood Bell’s condition better than did the judge and jury that gave the poor fellow his liberty. THE DEVIL'S OWN DREW. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Agricultu ral Department, who has been making , a crusade against impure foods and j drugs and injurious beverages through-' out the country, has this to say regard-1 ing the reckless sale of caffeine drinks j at soda founts, to-wit: “Parents of ten forbid their children the use of coffee and tea at home, and yet. they | are allowed to get caffeine dtinks at j the soda fountains, unmindful that caf- j fuine is the injurious part of coffee and tea. These caffeine products are j sold at the soda fountains without any notice that they contain caffeine, and caffeine in its pure form in such drinks is much more deadly than when com bined naturally with tea and coffee.’’ TJie good Doctor doubtless had coca- cola in mind when he gave out the foregoing statement, and he is not alone in his condemnation of this and other caffeine drinks. Dr. G. W. Ped- dy, one of Newnan’s oldest physi cians and most successful practi tioners, has been for many years preaching against the coca-cola habit. He regards coca-cola as one of the most insidious poisons that can be ta- ! ken into the system, impoverishing the blood, lowering the vitality, shriv- j cling the brain, destroying the nerves, | impairing the digestion, and making 1 of the stomach a veritable purgatory, j j The lining of a coca-cola fiend’s stom ach. he says, hears more resemblance j to a section of half-tanned bull-hide | than anything he can think of. Meriwether Vindicator: “.Judge W. R. Jones, an able member of the Green ville bar, and one of our splendid Rep resentatives in the General Assembly, is being prominently spoken of for Speaker of the next House. If he should listen to the importunings of his many friends and enter the race, we believe he would be successful in the fight. He would make an excellent presiding officer, and Meriwether would be glad to see her distingished son thus honored.’’ Governor-elect Brown spent Satur day in LaGrange, and we infer from the comments of the LaGrange news papers that he made a good impres sion. Referring to his visit The Graphic this week says: “Now that Hon. Jos. M. Brown has visited La Grange and Troup county, the people are more convinced than ever that he will make the State a good executive.” According to the report of the Cen sus Bureau, issued Monday, the stocks of cotton on hand in the United States at the close of February amounted to 5,252,663 hales. The number of bales ginned since Aug. 31 aggregated 13,- 006.612 running hales. The total ex ports from Sept. 1 to Feb. 28, inclu sive, were 6,566,571 bales. Perry Home Journal: “The Far mers’ Union in Georgia will be largely responsible for a greater degree of in tensive farming and diversified crops in the State this year. This alone will establish the order as a valuable and most worthy organiz rtion. ” HANDY. Mrs. G. A. Boynton returned home Monday, after spending several days in Carrollton. Misses Hattie Whitaker and Florrie Stanley spent Friday night with Miss Essie Jackson. Mrs. Ware, of Cooksville, and Mrs. Daniel, of Americus, were the guests of Mrs. J. C.

Miss Letha Starr spent the week-end with her aunt, Mrs. Wiggins. Misses Hattie Whitaker and Daisy Jackson were their guests Saturday. Misses Minnie Clare and Edna Jack- son spent Saturday and Sunday at Mr. R. L. Wilson’s, near Bethel. Mr. Theo Crowder, who has been sick for several weeks, is able to be up. A Sunday-school will be organized at Elim church next Sunday afternoon. Let everybody come, and let’s have a good school. There will be a meeting of the Poca hontas at Handy next Saturday after noon. All members are urged to be present, as there will he important business on hand. Mr. and Mrs. Posey Davis and Mrs. M. B. Millians spent Tuesday in New- nan. The school at Elim will close Friday, to the regret both of teacher and pu pils, for it has been a very pleasant and protfiable term. March 24th.

Poor George Bell, who was released I from the State Sanitarium four weeks | ago after a sensational trial on a ha-1 heas corpus hearing before Judge | Lewis, of the Oconee circuit, commit ted suicide on a train between Macon and Savannah yesterday morning by j cutting his throat. He had been to Atlanta, and was returning to his | home at Swainsboro when the deed was : committed. At the trial referred to it ‘•A Panacea for All Ills." The following is a verbatim copy of a letter received from a lacy who has used Horn of Salvation for lour years. A hook could he filled with similar let ters received from time to time prais ing this remedy. Try it and you will never he without it. "Savannah, Ga., March 8, 1909.

It is our household cure-all—our doc tor’s hill saver—our panacea for all ills. By so doing you will greatly oblige Yours respectfully, “Mrs. M. S. Lesbey, "910 E. Anderson St.” McCOLLUM. There is always a bright lining be hind the darkest cloud, and the Lord helps those who help themselves. So, farmers, cheer up, and clear your new- ground, cut the corn-stalks, and clean your ditch banks, for the ground will soon be ready for the plow.

March 22d. \gazme The Lurid Glow of Doom was seen in the red face, hands and body of the little son of H. M. Adams, of Henrietta, Pa. His awful plight from eczema had, for five ye^irs, defied all remedies and baffled the best doc tors, who said the poisoned blood had | affected riis lungs and nothing could save him. “But,” writes his muther, “seven bottles of Electric Bitters com pletely' cured him.” For Eruptions, Eczema, Salt Rheum, Sores and all blood Disorders and Rheumatism Elec tric Bitters is supreme. Only 50c. Guaranteed by all druggists. j —While prices of all other commod- j ities still soar upwards, that of cotton j continues to “shoot the chute,” yet I the farmers are hustling to make more ! this year than last, regardless of con ! sequences. Before the Rubicon is crossed, we appeal to them to use a lit- I tie judgment. Plant enough corn to make bread and meat, and then put in all the cotton you can cultivate. No farmer can prosper and buy corn at $1 a bushel.—Lawrenceville News-Herald. You’ve got no use for any maga zine ? No ? Don’t need EVERYBODY’S? No? Doesn’t concern you r No ?
