ONE DOLLAR A YEAH.
Simplicity to Mark Inauguration of
Governor-Elect Brown.
Atlanta, Ua., June 12.-For Demo
cratic simplicity and disregard ol' prec
edent and form, the induction into the
gubernatorial office of Joseph M.
Brown on June 26 will set hii example
that will long he remembered in Geor-
Cotton.
I hilatlelphia Record.
Silk is worth $4.50 a pound; wool, 80
cents; linen, 00 cents, and cotton is
worth about 11 cents, and is likely
to go to 15 cents in the near future.
These prices account for a rapid in
crease in the consumption of cotton.
The price of wool drives people to use
cotton, sometimes knowingly and
sometimes without knowing it. There
is a marked increase in the buying of
cotton fabrics as a matter of economy.
There is an increasing use of cotton by
manufacturers to adulterate silk, lin
en and woolen goods. The consumer
will-
gia political history. How Mr. Brown
by his little journeys through the State i gets the goods at the price he
'ling to pay, and is not always aware
j that its cost has been reduced by the
, admixture of cotton. Recent processes
since his election has endeared himself
to the public, l ow he has proved him
self to lie entirely free from the affec-
tation of popular regard which charac
terizes the ordinary office-seeker and
to be at heart a man of the people by
taste and natural predilection, are mat
ters of too general recognition to re
quire any comment at this time.
There are many facts about the in
ner life of the Governor-elect, how
ever, which are not generally known—
nor are they likely to be, if it depended
upon him to herald them. His modesty
and self-suppression are proverbial,
forming one of the most marked ele
ments of his character. It is not gen
erally known, for instance, that during
his term of office he will maintain two
homes instead of one, being one of the
few Governors of Georgia to do so. And
this, far from being an indication of a
preference for ostentation and display,
is really explained by a directly contra
ry sentiment—his love of home.
No man in Georgia has lived a more
pleasant home life than has Mr. Brown
since he brought his young wife from
Richmond county to occupy their Ma
rietta home, about twenty years ago.
The house the old Gov. McDonald
home at Marietta was selected by Mr.
Brown. It. has large rooms and ample
halls and porches, according to the old
standards of Southern simplicity and
hospitality. Here Ihe Brown children
were born and the whole of Mr. and
Mrs. Brown’s married life has been
passed. So strong was Mrs. Brown’s
attachment to this home that the fear
that she might have to give it up, if
Mr. Brown became Governor, made
her at first use her influence to dis
suade him from running.
So it will lie that, while Mr. Brown
will tie compelled by the requirements
of ; his position to occupy the mansion
in Atlanta as his otticial residence, the
Marietta house will be retained as a
second home, where he and his wife
and children may spend Saturdays and
Sundays, and whatever brief vacations
he may be able to take, in domestic
simplicity away from the cares and re
sponsibilities of office. His stays at
hiH old home w ill lie about the only
recreations or absences from Atlanta
Mr. Brown will allow himself during
his term.
In the domestic and social adminis
tration of file mansion there will be no
pomp and little form, hut an abund
ance of old-fashioned Georgia welcome
and cordiality. The Governor’s table
will savor more of Southern plantation
cooking than it will of the menu of
Sherry's or Delmonico’s, but the fare
will suit those who have been reared
upon bacon and cabbage and spring
beans and fried chicken and hominy.
Special provision will be made for the
lovers of collards. as that good old
Georgia vegetable is a special favorite
with the new Governor.
In making his plans for the inaug
ural ceremonies, it has been Mr.
Brown's intention to come to the city
on a street car and walk up the hill to
the capitol and take the oath of of
fice without display of any character.
Owing to the fact that, a great many
people will be here, it is probable that
Mr. Brown will be prevailed upon to
abandon an idea, formed for simplici
ty, but which, under the circumstances,
might be misconstrued as affectation.
In al' probability he will come fo the
city on the street car and will go to the
home of his sister, Mrs. Connally.
From there he will probably go to the
capitol in a carriage, accompanied by
Mrs. Connally and Mrs. Brown, and
perhaps one or more of his brothers.
The ceremonies will take place in the
House of Representatives, in accord
ance with the old custom, and for the
further reason that Mr. Brown’s voice
is too weak to permit of his addressing
a large outdoor audience.
That the Governor - elect will not
yield in his determination to have the
inauguration devoid of pomp and cere
mony of every kind is shown in a letter
which he has written to Judge Robert
L. Rodgers, of this city, declining his
offer of an escort to be composed of
veteran Georgians, friends of the new
Governor’s father. While keenlj appre
ciative of the honor intended him, Mr.
Brown persists in his original determi
nation to have no escort at all.

in the manufacture of cotton have im
proved its appearance so much that
women use it increasingly in place of
silk and linen.
It is upon these facts rather than che
prospect of a shortage in supply that
Theodore H. Price, of New York, con
spicuous as a “bull” operator in the
cotton market, bases his expectation of
advancing prices. There has been a
drought in western Texas far the lar
gest cotton - producing State in the
country, and some of the more excited
traders predict a loss of a million and
a quarter or a million and a half hales.
But this is only guesswork, and Mr.
Brice attaches little importance to it.
The season is young yet, and copious
rains within three weeks would repair
all the damage that dry weather has
done. Besides, the crop of the current
year is probably the largest in our his
tory. It is considered in excess of the
world’s demand for American cotton.
The American mills are already well
supplied with material, and there are
a million bales of cotton in Liverpool.
Even if the coming crop should be light
there would be cotton enough until the
crop of 1910 should come forward. But
the consumption is gaining rapidly, and
a moderate crop this year would be fol
lowed by higher prices. A short crop
would leave no surplus to carry over to
another year. The South, therefore,
stands a good chance of attaining its
ideal, which is 15 cents a pound.

before his death Bro. Murphy divided
his time with his children—sometimes

Grantville, and then to Moreland, and

Bro. Joe Murphy was a good hus

The Nomadic Impulse.
Indianapolis Star.
The spirit of vagabondage is not an
uncommon thing. Perhaps it may be
called universal, though in most per
sons it manifests itself only at inter
vals, and as a passing mood. Few are
the men and women who do not feel at
some time or other a drawing to the
primitive life. They find relief from
the conventional existence by camping
in the wilderness; they look with half-
envious interest on the vans of the
gypsies, they seek their recreation in
places so remote from civilized fash
ions and manners of the world. The
man who goes hunting is animated
more by a secret spirit of vagabondage
than by any wish to fill his bag with
game. He goes fishing not to catch
fish so much as to sit by the river and
fancy himself released from bonds and
burdens that conventional life imposes.
The song of the road sings itself in
every ear at times; the call of the
wild is heard by more than the few. In
every heart is felt now and then an im
pulse to shake off care and hampering
loads and escape into the open. The
man looking from the window of the
I’ullman car is not always conscious of
superior advantage over the tramping
wayfarer. Sometimes, on the contra
ry. he would change places with him.
The woman in costly attire driving by
in her carriage sometimes secretly en
vies the occupant of the wayside cabin,
whose ragged cotton gown and hare
feet trouble her not at all.
Oldest Things in the World.
Boston Globe.
The big trees of California are the
oldest living things in the world. Es
timates made from cross sections of
some of those which have fallen show
that the mature trees are more than
four thousand years old. There are
trees still flourishing vigorously in the
Calaveras grove which were pretty
well grown at a time which antedates
the p.\ ramids of Egypt. They were
centuries old when Rome was founded,
and when Columbus started on his voy
age of discovery they were hoary with
age.
In one portion of the grove there are
ten trees, each of which has a diameter
of more than twenty-five feet. The
bark is from six inches to two feet in
thickness, and the trees are so hardy
that forest fires produce almost r.o ef
fect on them. Indeed, they are almost
indestructible except by man, and if
saved from the ravages of the lumber
man there is no reason to doubt that
they will live for many centuries to
come.
But the necessity for such protection
is revealed in the statement that each
of these big trees contains as much
lumber as is ordinarily grown on fif
teen or twenty acres of timber land.
The Calaveras grove was in the posses
sion of a Minnesota lumber concern op
erating mills on the Pacific coast, and
the Government obtained possession by
trading an equal amount of other land
situated on the forest reserves.

father is asleep,” commanded the lad’s

Harry obeyed, and found the old gen

room.
Every case of Rheumatism lias its origin and its development in the
blood. It is not a disease which is contracted like a cold, but it is in the
blood and system before a pain is felt, and the changes in the weather or
any physical irregularities, such as a spell of indigestion, bowel disturbance,
etc., are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches, which
are the natural symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism is caused by an
excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood, which
are carried through the circulation to every part of the system. Every
muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and joint becomes saturated with these
acrid, irritating impurities, or coated with fine, insoluble caustic matter,
and the sharp, piercing pains or the dull, constant aches are felt with every
physical movement. When the blood is filled with uric acid poison, perma
nent relief cannot be expected from liniments, plasters, or other external
treatment. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to conquer
Rheumatism and bring about a
complete cure, the uric acid and
other inflammatory matter must be
expelled, and this cannot be done
with external treatment. S. S. S.
cures Rheumatism because it is a
perfect and entirely vegetable blood
purifier. It goes down into the
circulation, neutralizes the acids,
and dissolves the irritating depos
its which are pressing on the sensi
tive nerves and tissues and produc
ing pain, enriches the weak, sour
blood, and removes every atom of
impurity from the circulation. So
instead ol" being a weak, sour
stream, distributing uric acid to the
different parts of the system, the
blood is strong and healthy and
therefore able to supply every mus
cle, nerve, bone and tissue with nourishment and strength. Then the inflam
mation and swelling subside, the pains and aches cease, and not only is
Rheumatism permanently cured, but under the fine tonic effects of S. S. S.
the entire general health is benefitted and built up, In all forms of Rheuma
tism, whether acute or chronic, S. S. S. will be found a safe and reliable treat
ment. Special book on Rheumatism and any medical advice you desire will
be furnished free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
Sometime ago, I had Rheumatism and had to
quit work. The pain in ray back and between
my shoulders was so intense I could not rest or
sleep. I tried everything, but nothing did me any
good till I heard of and took S. S. S. This med
icine cured me sound and well. It purified my
blood and made me feel like a new man.

I was severely troubled with Rheumatism. I
had it in my knees, legs and ankles, and any one
who has ever had Rheumatism knows how excru
ciating the pain is and how it interferes with one
at work. I was truly in bad shape—having been
bothered with it for ten years, off and on. A
local physician advised me to use S. S. S. I did
so. After taking two bottles I noticed the sore
ness and pain were greatly reduced. I continued
the medicine and was thoroughly cured; all pain,
soreness and inflammation gone. I recommend
S. S. S. to all Rheumatic sufferers.
