And in promulga ting that propaganda we ever face the fact that the people are the power—not the head-spring only, but the great rolling river, dear with intelligence and masterful with might, shining with justice and sweet with truth, con trolled by no one, but controlling every one. “My countrymen, love is not an empty idea, and fraternity not a dream. All things peaceable are possible to those whose will is to do the right. The glory of Georgia can be found in a uni ted manhood. If, then, in the exercise of the faculties with which the Deity has endowed us. we acquire prestige, rank or power, let us cast them at the feet of our great mother State, and to her say : ‘These are thihe, and we are thine!’ “Finally, I pray that all of 11s into whose hands the sovereign people have entrusted her governmental affairs may hold in mind that we are here to reconcile, not to antagonize to confer with our consciences while we confer with each other, and, so realizing, that we may move forward, harmonious and loyal, with the lamp of reason, not the torch of discord, to light our way.” HON.

Atlanta, Ga., June 26.—With simple ceremony and democratic simplicity, and without undue ostentation, Hon. Joseph M. Brown was inaugurated T. Q.

From the executive reception room the pro cession to the Hall of Representatives was led by Gov. Smith, escorted by Sen ator Calloway as chairman of the Senate committee on inauguration. Governor- elect Brown, following, was escorted by Representative Hall, chairman of the House committee. Other members executive, legislative and judicial de partments as the balance wheels of government. Interference of either with the other was forbidden, and each within its circle was supreme, save that the Governor, by the orderly exer cises of the veto, was invested with the power to stay hasty or ill-consid ered legislation, “1 pledge my obedience to the Con- ,, . . . , . stitution in Its entirety.

Gathered on the floor of the House was the General Assembly of the State —the Senate and the House of Repre sentatives that together constitutes the Legislature. The Senate was for the occasion seated with the members of the House. In the galleries were the compara tively few representatives of the great public of Georgia who could gain ad mittance, and in the corridors were those who could find no room inside. The invocation was pronounced by Dr. John E. White, a warm personal friend of Mr. Brown. Governor-elect Brown was uresented to the General Assembly by the Presi dent of the Senate, Hon. John M. Sla ton, after which he delivered a brief but most excellent and eloquent inau gural address. The oath of office was administered to Mr. Brown by Chief Justice W. H. Fish, of the Supreme Court, after which the Great Seal of the State was delivered to Gov. Brown by retiring Gov. Hoke Smith, and then turned over to Secretary of State Phil Cook by the new Governor for safekeeping. The recessional from the hall of Representatives was in the same order as the processional, and escorted the Governor and his wife to the executive office in the State Capitol, where an informal reception was held and after tions, and no one in another department is authorized to interfere with the ex ercise of such administrative powers. "Equality under the laws is the com mon righ£ of our citizenship, constitu tionalism is the pass-word of the patri ot, justice wields the sword which strikes down the wrong, which protects the pure; and the voice of reason we perforce must heed, for we cannot ig nore the truth that reason coerces while it coaxes. In obedience to the Constitution we fulfill duty, we secure pleasure, for, while that great instru ment commands, it protects. “1 will not to-day consume time in proposing specific plans of procedure in our governmental labors. You who are here assembled know the problems which confont us; and at an early day we will counsel together, we will co operate in the endeavor to lessen the burdens of the people, and to restore economic conditions which will enable all who work to prosper. “In the meantime, if there have been differences let us put them behind u»; let harmony guide our thoughts and ac cord characterize our acts; let us bear in mind that we are Georgians, and that the interest of each Georgian is the interest of all Georgians, and let us prove to the world that wisdom-en dowed, Constitution-obeying and honor- loving Georgians hold forever sacred the guarantee that under her aegis abides as regnant forces justice, faith and truth. “I ask you, therefore, to remember that as great as are our opportunities, so great are our obligations that the laws of our State are not enacted to confer more power on those named as officials, but to furnish and apply the machinery whereby the officials can which the new Governor entered upon ; protect in equality of rights ail the the discharge of his official duties. Following is the inaugural address de livered by Hon. Joseph M. Brown just before taking the oath of office as Gov ernor ; “Gentlemen of the General Assem bly, I,adie3 and Fellow-citizens: In obedience to the mandate of the sov ereign people, I appear before you for the purpose of taking the oath which binds ms to the duties of chief execu tive of this commonwealth. people, their peers. And in the appli cation of those laws we cannot elimi nate the personal equation from the problem, for both the official and the private citizen are bound to mutually responsive action in the protection of society, to the extent that in all mat ters affecting the interest of the public, the private citizen should hold his word to be as weighty with fidelity to fact as the official holds his oath. Let us, then, to safeguard that protection, dis card haste and impulse and with faith in God and in ourselves promulgate in- His Troubles Numerous and His Wor ries Great. Certain it is that no class of men in business is so generally helpful to a community and so universally abused as the country merchant. It is no wonder tnat at times we find him lighting back. His business life is one of continuous fighting for his rights from the time he opens his doors in the morning until he closes them at night. It is little wonder that we find him “grouchy” and cross at times. He has to light with the salesman to get his goods at a price which will ena ble him to sell them so as to meet com petition, so as to satisfy his customers. He must be ever on the alert and watch everything that comes into his store to see that only first-class arti cles are put on his shelves. He is continually harassed by per sons who want credit, whose responsi bility is not the best, and with whom it would be, oftentimes, a loss to deal. There are numerous calls on him for charity and the support of charitable institutions. If there is to be a new enterprise of any kind started, a new railroad or franchise of any nature, or a new man ufacturing enterprise, the merchant is always expected to assist by subscrib ing for stock which many times proves worthless. No matter what cause or condition may arise looking to the betterment of the condition of the town, the mer chant is the one on whom the responsi bility of assisting with capital and time falls. Your private citizen, your landown er, scarcely takes an interest in these things. He profits by it, however, hh does every other resident of the city or town, as does every resident or farmer near the town, whose property is en hanced in value thereby. Since so much is expected of the merchant, since he employs so many people in the conduct of his business, since he is such an important factor in the upbuilding of a community, why' should he not receive the patronage and support of every resident of a com munity? Why should the money of a community be sent out of that commu nity to support people jn a large city? We know well the argument that the Mail Order House patron puts up in answer to this question—“because we can buy cheaper from the Mail Order House.” No greater absurdity ever existed, no greater falsehood was ever given in reply to a question. In one case out of one hundred this might, to a certain extent, have a real relevancy, but gen erally the proposition is as false as it can be stated. We would ask you, Mr. Mai! Order House customer, how do you know that the Mail Order House can sell cheaper? How do you know that your merchant cannot and will not duplicate these prices and these goods? This is where you err. The business of the world is done on confidence. You must have confidence in your merchant. Take him into yotir confidence and you may rest assured that when you do this he will work in harmony with you, and your community will be benefited, and you will _like- wise profit thereby.

Once I was judge in a baby show. Another time I interfered with a man who was beating his wife,” Support of the Home Paper. Business Men’s Magazine. Many a good town isn’t wortli a cent because the local newspaper is neglect ed. Many a good merchandising center is dead because the men in business treat the editor of the newspaper as an object of charity. This is wrong. The local paper is the greatest thing in the com munity. It should be supported. It should be read anti patronized. The merchants who think they are Clevel and smart when they slip one over on the local paper make a big mistake. Every dollar you take away from the local newspaper in schemes and knocks hurts the town. It hurts business, and, most of all, it hurts the merchants who indulge in it. Whatever else you merchants do, pat ronize your home paper. Don’t tell me that it has a small circulation. Don’t tell me that you reach ten times as many people with less expense using circulars. Don’t spring any of those time-worn gags on me at all. Stop standing ift your own light. Get behind the local paper and push it for all you are worth. I don’t mean push it to the wall. Push it up grade to a position where it ought to he, and as sure as you are alive you will push your own business up with it to a point you never dreamed of before. When a man tells me that he reaches more people and gets better results from his circulars I know that he is deceiving himself and telling me-what I can prove to be untrue. A newspaper in the com munity is read by the people. They learn to watch for it, and when they get it every member of the family wants his turn to see what it says. Ads. and all are read. If the merchants of a community will educate the people to look in the newspaper for their announce ments the people will read the paper more and greater will ho the returns. Thore is no alley so long but that has its ash barrels, and there is no knock so powerful or subtle but that it reacts. Do yourself a favor and keep up your end by supporting the local newspaper, and support it for all you are worth. The Blessing of Fresh Air. Riil< inli (N. C.) Progrrasslve Farmer. Perhaps no other fallacy has done so much to promote ill-health in the South as the foolish notion that there is some thing peculiarly and mysteriously injuri ous about “night air,” as if night air were different from the air which we breathe and which gives us health and strength in the daytime. We would have far fewer deaths from consump tion, far fewer headaches, and a great many more people witli rosy checks and untroubled bodies, if people made it a practice to sleep with their windows open. If fresh air cost money, we would have millions of poor people complain ing that their poverty prevented them from getting enough fresh air; where as, since it costs nothing, they go to great pains to shut out as much as pos sible this great health-making gift of God every night that comes. Go out of a close, unventilated house early in the morning into the fresh, sweet air out of doors and note the con trast. Can you conceive how it is pos sible for people to deliberately shut themselves up one-third of their lives in the bad, unwholesome air of a closed room, when the invigorating atmos phere of God's out-of-doors is free to every living being for the mere asking? Even in the coldest weather, plenty of cover in the sleeping-room with the windows open will make one perfectly comfortable, and there are few things which will do more to promote health and vigor. TRUTHFUL REPORTS. Newnan Reads Them With Uncom mon Interest. A Newnan citizen tells his experience in the following statement. No better evidence than this can be had. The truthful reports of friends and neigh bors is the best proof in the world. Read and be convinced: Mrs. A. M. Askew, 25 Willcoxon St., Newnan, Ga., says; “I cannot hesitate to recommend so valuable a remedy as Doan's Kidney Pills. For a long time my daughter, eleven years of age, was annoyed by the imperfect action of the kidneys. The secretions were much too frequent and at times caused a burning sensation during passage. One box of Doan’s Kidney Pills, which were pro cured at Lee Bros’, drug store, entirely corrected the difficulty and there has been no return of it since.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cent?.
