The contest for the nomi-1185 nation of a candidate for President was very heated between the different dele gates, the nominees heinff James Buch anan, Franklin Pierce, Stephen A.

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. Shake Into Your Shoes Allen’s Foot-Ease, a powder.

Georgia first voted sodidly for Frank lin Pierce and kept this up until the tenth ballot, when three changed to Buchanan and seven to Douglas. The votes remained this way until the seventh ballot, when Buchanan was nominated unanimously. John C. Ilreckenridge, of Kentucky, was nomi nated for Vice-President. Several eloquent speeches were made in the convention on the subject of “Con stitutional Government” and the con struction of a “great public highway through the West.” Then, ^snow, sec tional strife was deplored and the South was eulogized, but was given no offices. California being a “ new State,” fought for the highway. children have sustained a great loss, the church at Liberty has lost a consist ent member, and the community a good citizen and neighbor.

Carter, Committee. 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. Done by order of the church. F. B. Powell, Minister. J. H. Hyde, T. F. Jones, E. T. Carter, Committee. 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.” Mr. Andy—"Years ago I had money to burn and I burned it!” Mr. Rocky—“How?” ” Mr. Andy—“On an old flame of mine. ” 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.

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. Wheeling, W. Va. 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.
