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. Here is Relief for Women.

Y. 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. He Hated Long Prayer. Washington Post. ”It. happened,” said the colonel, “thai there were two colored preach ers inhabiting cells in the penitentiary at Frankfort at the same time.

Murphy was born in Hancock county, Ga.. Dee. 5, 1*22, and died at the home of his son, Jas. D. Murphy, at Moreland, May 26, 1909. He came to Meriwether county and married Miss Elizabeth Jones in 1M7. They were blessed with three sons and seven died in 1904. in all the rela tions of life. Soon after their marriage they settled near what is now Grant- viile, and joined the Methodist church at Mt. Horeb, u mile north of Grant- vilie. from which church the churches at Grantville and Moreland came. I was in charge of the Grantville High School in 1869 and taught his children. Was pastor also, and four years after was his pastor three years. It was a pleasant family for the pastor to visit. leaving, the children wpre called in, the bible was read and prayer offered to God for blessings upon the household, and I believe all are now members of the church. For five years before his death Bro. Murphy divided his time with his children—sometimes at Carrollton, came two weeks ago to Grantville, and then to Moreland, and died suddenly. Save one living at a distance, all his children were at his funeral, which was conducted by his pastor, Rev. T. R. Kendal], jr. I took part. John Hendricks, a life-long friend, led the singing, which was en joyed by the large congregation. Bro. Joe Murphy was a good hus band, a good father, and a good friend, and I feel sad that he is gone. W. J. Cotter. 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. “Harry, go in and see if your grand father is asleep,” commanded the lad’s father. Harry obeyed, and found the old gen tleman snoring. “Yes, sir, he’s ’sleep—all ’cep’ his nose,” retorted the boy from the other 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.

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. CONRAD LOHR, Anderson, Ind. 122 E. 19th St. 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. J. L. AGNEW, 803 E. Greenbrier St., Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Excursion Fares via Central of Georgia Railway Company.
