Popular Use of Dangerous Drugs.
The distressing case of two “dope
fiends” reported in Atlanta of a mid
dle-aged woman and her more youth
ful brother, of respectable Virginia
connections and antecedents, burrow
ing in a garret, the woman dead and
the brother an agonized wreck from
the use of morphine, is an object les
son of the criminal carelessness of the
authorities and the law-makers in suf
fering this seductvie class of poisons
to be recklessly put in the hands of
people, independent of any very rigid
or effective restrictions against their
abuse. This is true not only of the old
er and more familiar drugs of this
character, but also of a number of
more powerful and recently discovered
drugs such as phenacetin, acetanilid
and anti-pyrin. Notwithstanding that
the physicians w ho have tested these
newer drugs, warned by the results,
are inclined to use them less and less,
the people looking tor handy specifics
for the relief of temporary aches and
ailments are turning more and more to
them, with no more restriction than
that imposed by their own illy-informed
judgments. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has published t
report on the use of these drugs, in
which the dangers attendant upon
their use are pointed out.
“The report makes no attack upon
the drugs, so far as medicinal value
concerned,” says the Chicago Tribune.
“That is recognized. What is sought is
to warn the public of the danger of us
ing them without proper advice from a
physician. The points made are that the
toxic properties of the drugs are ob
jectionable and that their effect is par
ticularly depressing on the heart. In
1894 the British Medical Association
published the report of a committee of
investigation of these drugs. It laid
the evil results of the drugs to exces
sive and injurious doses, it suggested
much greater caution in their use.
Since that time physicians have been
more guarded in their prescriptions.
"But there has been an increasing
sale to the public directly in headache
cures and other preparations. The ev
idence is cumulative that the drugs are
habit-forming. The troubles for which
relief is sought are recurrent. The
tendency to use the drug frequently is
strong. The net results upon the phys
ical condition of the individual are
disastrous. It is the story of opium or
cocaine over again. A drug hailed
once ns possessing properties of pecu
liar value has become dangerous be
cause the habit of excessive use has
brought with it ruin to body and mind.
"As the investigators of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, in connection
with the laws for pure foods and pure
drugs, have studied the correspondence
with physicians and the prescriptions on
tile in pharmacies they have become
convinced that the use of the three
drugs mentioned is becoming habitual
with many individuals, and that the
number of such persons is growing
steadily. That is the reason for the
warning which now is sounded. These
drugs should not he used carelessly or
frequently. There is peril in them.”
Wanted---A Name.
AuKUHta Herald.
The citizens of tho jrreatest country
on earth are in the peculiar fix of hav
ing no national appellation by which
they may be designated. A citizen of
England is an Englishman, a citizen
of Holland is a Dutchman, a citizen of
Turkey a Turk. But a citizen of the
United States of America can only be
called an American, an appellation
which belongs equally as much to a Ca
nadian, Mexican or Brazilian, but is
not especially claimed by any of the
twenty-one other American countries
because none of them are so poor in
this respect as we, since all of them
have a national name of their own.
We have some States also whose peo
ple are in equally as bad fix in regard
to their Statehood designation. A citi
zen of Georgia is a Georgian and a cit
izen of New York a New Yorker. But
what of the citizen of Maine, who can
be given a State designation only by
calling him a Maineie? The citizen of
Michigan might be called a Michigan
der, which would, however, lead to the
unpleasant necessity of calling his bet
ter half a Michigoose. As to what the
people of Massachusetts or of Wyom
ing should be called nobody has been
able to suggest.

votes remained this way until the

Forest Area of the South.
Albany Herald.
The South, with twenty-seven per
cent, of the total area of the United
States, contains about forty-two per
ent. of the total forest area of the
ountry. The forest area by States is
as follows: Alabama, 20,000,000 acres;
Arkansas. 24,200,000; Florida. 20,000,-
000; Georgia, 23,300,000; Kentucky,
10,000,000; Louisiana, 16,600,000; Ma
ryland, 2,200,000; Mississippi, 17,500,-
000; North Carolina, 19,600,000; South
Carolina, 12,000,000; Tennessee, 15,-
000,000; Texas, 30,000,000; Virginia.
14,000,000, and West Virginia, 9,100,000.
The South, it will be seen, has still
much of the virgin forest of the coun
try. This forest must be used, of
course, in order to meet the steadily
expanding wants of this section. It
must be used in such a manner, howev
er, that the very most may be made
from its annual cut, while at the same
time this cut is being replaced by new
growth. In this way its timber will
remain a source of perpetual wealth.
The importance of forest conserva
tion to Southern interests is clearly un
derstood by the people of the South.
The future of the South is more nearly
bound up in the plan of forest preser
vation to watersheds, power streams,
and wood-working industries, than is
anything now before the people of this
part of the country. Not. only is the
protection of the watersheds, which
will some day furnish the power to run
all manufacturing establishments in
the entire South, an important matter
to the South, but the industries depend
ing upon the forest products will also
be benefited by the protection thrown
about the remaining timbered area.
On June 21, 1909, our much-beloved
sister, Anna Lee Morris, departed this
life. Sister Morris was born Sept. 1,
1878, and was married to Bro. N. M.
Morris Nov. 13, 1892. To this union
four children were born, one having
preceded hei to the grave. Sister Mor
ris leaves a husband and three children
to mourn her death, besides a host of
other relatives. Sister Morris was the
daughter of the late David S. Estes, of
this county, who had just preceded her
to the grave. In the death of Sister
Morris the church has lost a consistent
member, who was loved by all, and the
community a good citizen and neigh
bor. Therefore, be it resolved—
1. That the church bows in humble
submission to the will of our Heavenly
Father, “who doeth all things well,”
realizing that our loss is her eternal
gain.
2. That the members of Liberty
church extend sympathy to the be
reaved husband and children, brothers
and sisters. We cannot give comfort
to the crushed hearts, but we point
them to the loving Father in this sad
hour of affliction.
3. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent the bereaved family, and also
published in the county papers.

Sam Houston’s Brave Mother.
Smith’s Magazine.
The mother of Sam Houston was an
other woman who, for the sake of her
children, hazarded the dangers of the
wilderness without the protection of a
man’s strong arm. Houston’s friend
and biographer, C. Edwards Lester,
portrayed her as “an extraordinary
woman, distinguished by an impressive
and dignified countenance, and gifted
with intellectual and moral qualities
which elevated her in a still more
striking manner above most of her
sex. ”
The death of her husband left Mrs.
Houston in poor circumstances, and
with a growing family of six sons and
three daughters. Knowing that many
of her neighbors who had gone West
had prospered, she determined to fol
low their example in order that her
children might get a good start in life,
she sold her Virignia farm, and jour
neyed to Tennessee, ending her migra
tion only when within eight miles of the
boundary between the settlement of
the whites and the wigwams of the
Cherokees.
There she erected a rude cabin, with
the help of her oldest boys, and there
she labored diligently to bring up her
children to be useful men and women.
It was for them that she toiled and
prayed and denied herself, personify
ing in her devotion another trait of the
mothers of the early West.
There is au
Not a Good Speaker.
Shortly after his rise to the bench
Judge Coleman, of San Francisco,
had occasion to pronounce a life sen
tence upon a notorious offender? In
the course of his remarks the Judge
spoke with so much feeling and elo
quence that many of the listeners were
deeply affected. The prisoner, on the
other hand, seemed to be quite indiffer
ent, looking at the ceiling and appa
rently giving no attention whatever to
what was being said. After he had
been remanded to jail one of the young
lawyers went, into the cell, curious
to know how the criminal had felt
when his honor was passing sentence
upon him.
“What do you mean?” asked the
convicted one.
"I mean when the Judge was telling
you you must go to prison for life.”
“You mean when he was talking to
me?”
“Yes.”
"Oh, I never paid no attention to
Dick Coleman; he ain’t no public
speaker, nohow.”

evaporation from the body going on continually, day and
night, through the pores and glands of the skin. This is nature’s way of
maintaining the proper temperature of our systems and preserving the soft
ness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from impur
ities no trouble will result. When, however, the blood from any cause
becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must lie expelled, and
coming in contact with tile delicate fibres and tissues with which the skin is
so abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and the.
effect is shown by Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and skin affections of various kinds.
These impurities and humors get into the blood through a deranged or
inactive condition of the system ; the members whose duty it is to carry off
the waste and refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their work,
and this impure, fermenting matter is left in the system to be absorbed by
the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within the
system, but poisons from without,
such as Poison Oak, Poison Ivy,
Nettle Rash, etc., enter through the
open pores and glands, and so thor
oughly do they become rooted in the
blood that they are ever present,
or return at certain seasons of each
year to torment the sufferer. Salves,
washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure skin
diseases. True, such treatment re
lieves some of the itching and dis
comfort, and aids in keeping the skin
clean, but it does not reach the real
cause, and at best can be only palli
ating and soothing. A thorough
cleansing of the blood is the bnly certain cure for skin diseases. S. S. S.,
a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, made entirely of vegetable ingredients
of the forest and field, is the proper treatment. S. S. S. goes down into the
circulation, and neutralizes the acids and humors, thoroughly cleansing and
purifying the blood, and curing skin affections of every kind. It supplies
to the blood the fresh, nutritive qualities necessary to sustain the skin and
all other parts of the body, and rids the blood of any and all poisons. S. S. S.
cures Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Poison Oak and Ivy, Nettle Rash,,
and all other skin troubles, and cures them permanently bv removing every
trace of the cause from the blood. Special book on Skin Diseases and any
medical advice desired furnished free to all who write.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, _GA;
I have used your S. S. S., spring and fall,
for the past two years, with the result that it
entirely relieved me of a form of Eczema
which my doctor was unabld to cure. My
arms, lower limbs, und, in fact, the biggest
portion of my whole body was affected, and
when I first began S. S. S. the itching, etc.,
was worse, but 1 continued the remedy with
the result that the dry, itching eruption en
tirely disappeared. I think a great deal of
your medicine, and have recommended it to
others with good results. It is the best blood
medicine made, and I can conscientiously
recommend it for the cure of all blood and
skin affections. CHAS. HORSTMAN.

Boy of 16 Has Hair Cut for First Time.
Franklin, Pa., Aug. 4.—Harry San
ford, sixteen years old, residing near
Franklin, had his hair cut the other
day for the first time in his life. He
has wanted it cut for several year-,
but his parents, proud of the luxu
riance of his hair, refused to allow it.
But the boy is going to college next
fall and he told his parents the other
day that he was going to have his hair
cut whether they gave him permission
or not. His locks when shorn weighed
more than a pound.
Up to the time he was eight years
old Harry wore his hair loose about his
shoulders, but of late years he has
braided it and let it hang down his
back under his coat. Even this was
very conspicuous and the boy never
liked to come to town because he at
tracted so much attention.
Because of his sensitiveness the lad
never associated much with other boys,
devoting most of his time to school
studies and his violin. As a result he
enters college at sixteen and is a pro
ficient violinist. Like Samson of old,
Harry possesses unusual strength, and
"Samson” is his nickname.
In referring to a thin boy, it is all
right to call him "skinny,” but you
must call a thin girl “spirituelle.” It
means the same, but sounds better.
Never call anyone but a boy “puny.
A “puny” girl should be called “fra
gile.” It sounds more like delicate
china, and all of that sex like to be
compared to fine Dresden. A “chunky
hoy is al! right, but a girl has a "fine
ly rounded figure.” A boy is “gawky,”
1 but a girl displays “untutored grace.’’
Resolutions of Respect.
On the 5th of May, 1909, God, in His
infinite wisdom, saw fit to remove from
among us one of our beloved members,
Mrs. Mary E. Goodson. She was born
Aug. 14, 1S34. She joined the Baptist
church at Bethel, Heard county, when
12 years of age, and was a consistent
member until her death. Her maiden
name was Mary E. Ball. She was mar
ried to W. D. Goodson March 23, 1854.
She was a devoted wife and loving
mother. She is survived by two chil
dren, two having passed to the Great
Beyond. Sister Goodson lived a quiet
Christian life, always ready to admin
ister to the wants of her neighbors.
Before she died she had moved to
Franklin, Ga., where new friends were
made, and now are caused to mourn on
account of her death. Be it resolved—
1. That we, as a committee and as a
church, tender our heartfelt sympathy
to the bereaved children and grandchil
dren, and point them to God, who doeth
all things for His glory.
2. That in the death of Sister Good-
son we have lost a true and consistent
member of our church.
3. That a copy of these resolutions
he furnished the family, a page of our
church-book be given to them, and a
copy sent also to The Herald and Ad
vertiser for publication.
