MY PRAYER.
Let me be true enough to meet each honest eye,
Yet If a friend whose sorrowed heart has been
undone
Asks me for comfort where in truth there can
be none.
Then let me grasp bis groping hand —and kindly
lie.
And if my neighbor does those things I think are
ill.
Let me not judge! Who knows whut tangled,
taunting skein
Fate may have woven to have meshed hia heart
in pain —
Would I have smoothed the evil knot with half
his skill?
Since I must play the game of life, this in my
pruyer:
Though I may lose. let me preservo u smiling
face—
Let me notscorn'the weak who falter in the race;
Let me be merciful—let me play fair.
—| Caroline Reynolds.

Beef in the South.
Wall Street Journal.
Enough has been said to prove the
existence of an alarming shortage of
beef cattle. To allow depletion to go
on unchecked must ultimately mean a
meat famine. The remedy, of course,
lies in increasing the supply, but the
vital question is how that is to be done.
What better breeding place could bo
a9ked for than in the South? Between
Virginia and Louisiana are millions of
acres of cheap, well watered lands that
could carry cattle. Climatic conditions
would make the carrying cost less than
in the North. The fever tick is being
eliminated. North Carolina, for in
stance, is now two-thirds free from the
pest. There is room in that Bection
(and need, too,) for thousands of cat
tle.
In the last census year the two Caro
lines, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis
sissippi and Louisiana had 5,766,000
head of cattle, worth $72,000,000. With
their total area of 348,715 square miles,
that would average 16.5 head to a
square mile. New York and Pennsyl
vania are by no means well stocked
with cattle, yet on their total area of
94,300 square miles they carried that
same year 4,010,000 head of better cat
tle-worth $140,000,000, averaging 42.5
head to the square mile.
In that same year these seven South
ern States spent $60,000,000 for com
mercial fertilizers, and their crops were
worth $916,550,000. Those of New
York and Pennsylvania (without count
ing animal products) were worth $700,-
000,000. This is not because the North
ern soil is more fertile. The enormous
yields of cotton on some of the experi
mental farms, and the extraordinary
results, show what the Southern lands
can do. Yields obtained by some of their
boys’ corn clubs, cropping, and more
cattle, would mean larger returns per
acre.
The census valuation looks as if a
large part of the Southern cattle is na
tive “scrub,” of which even New York
and Pennsylvania have too much. To
prepare Buch a steer for market is like
trying to fatten a fence rail—and the
product is about as juicy, liut to es
tablish herds of thoroughbred stock is
a costly undertaking. The North Car
olina commissioner is trying to grade
up the native stock by placing thor
oughbred breeding animals in different
parts of the State. The plan commends
itself to common sense.
If the farmers of the South will be
satisfied to raise more corn and forage,
and learn to look upon well-graded cat
tle as mills to condense that feed for
market, they can raise an equal amount
of cotton on a similar acreage, and
save a part of their immense bill for
fertilizer. Incidentally, also, they will
be on the way to solving the question
of rural credit.
“Wanted: A Hero.”
Breeders' Gazette.
We read the other day an article with
this heading. The author felt that he
roes were rather few nowadays, and
that the world was the poorer for the
lack of them. Fiddlesticks! That, au
thor did not know a real hero when he
met him. We know a number of them,
their dreBS plain, their hands calloused,
their boots heavy and soiled with mud.
Out in the cold and wet they go to their
daily tasks. One is ditching every day
this winter in unpleasant, sticky mud.
Another feeds cattle. Another is clear
ing a piece of new land. Out before
day in the chilly morning and toiling
hard, the inspiration for this heroism is
the same that has appealed to men of
red blood for thousands of years. Some
where, perhaps in his farm home, per
haps in mind’s picture, is a woman; she
too, must be good, true and worthy of
heroism. For her and for the little
ones the hero labors, suffers, endures
cold, wet, weariness and discourage
ment. Sometimes his crops fail; some
times there is a note hard to meet.
Yet he workB on; he comes home to the
woman he loves with a hero’s conquer
ing smile.
Here’s to him who can work and hope
and smile at temporary defeat and take
up another hole in hia belt and grimly
fight on
About “Buying up” the Press.
DoKalb Now Era.
A certain candidate stated in Decatur
Monday that Jack Slaton had “bought
up” the press of Georgia.
We were very favorably impressed
with the gentleman until he made that
statement, but after that we lost in
terest in his remarks.
The New Era, like all other Georgia
papers, has sold advertising space to
Governor Slaton, just as we have sold
space to Senator Smith, Dr. Hardman,
Judge Nat Harris, Hon. Randolph An
dersen and others, and wo will continue
to sell it when wo can, because adver
tising space is our stock in trade; but
we haven’t sold out to anybody, and we
do not know a single weekly editor in
Georgia whom we believe would Bell
out. If there aro Buch we don’t want
to know them.
The space sold to candidates is sold
without any obligations whatever,
other than the fact that we aro to print
so many inches at regular rates; and
none of them have asked us to give
them editorial support on account of
the business they give us.
We have heard just about as much as
we care to hear from various dema
gogues in Georgia and clHowhero about
the press “selling aut,” and we desire
to state that every man who makes a
charge like that proves himself to be
either an hopeless ignoramus or a mon
umental prevaricator.
The press of Georgia—especially the
weekly press—is composed of the finest
body of men it has ever been our privi
lege to meet, and we don’t like to hear
them slandered by cheap politicians.
We happen to know that the weekly
papers of Georgia throw into the waste
basket every year more offers from
whiskey concerns than the political
business amounts to in four years.
They will not print whiskey and beer
advertising—though all of them could
make a lot of money that way—and
most of them will not print fake land
stock and insurance ads.—therefore, it
is an insult for any man to charge that
the weekly press of the State has "sold
out.”
Every man may have his price, but
the price of the Georgia editor is too
high for any candidate to afford.
The ess a man knows the more
vice he distributes.

An Alarming Accident.
Two gentlemen of French descent
were in tho journalistic profession—one
being a Bub-editor of an evening paper
lublished in I’aris, and the other an
artist for a revival publication—had a
quarrel over some trivial matter, and,
as is quite the custom in France, they
finally decided to settle the dispute by
means of a duel with swords.
At last tho eventful day arrived, and
the combatants, along with their
seconds, referee, timekeeper and doc
tors, arrived at the scene of action.
The combatants faced each other
with grim determination, both being
confident of victory. After much
purrying tho sub-editor managed to get
in an overwhelming cut which severed
tho artist’s nose. The wounded man
dropped his sword with a groan, but in
falling it had tho misfortune to fall
across tho big too of his right foot,
cutting it clean off. After this inter
esting state of affairs he was rendered
hors du combut.
The doctors rushed up to replace the
pieces, but in doing so they made the
fatal mistake of putting the toe on the
artist’s face and his nose where the
too should have been, and ever since
the accident when the unfortunate
fellow has wanted to sneeze he has
been obliged to take off his boot.
ACKNOWLEDGED IT,
Nownan Has to Bow to the Inevit
able-Scores of Citizens
Prove It.
After reading the publie statement
of thiH representative citizen of New-
nan given below, you must come to
this conclusion; A remedy which prov
ed so beneficial years ago with the kid
neys, can naturally he expected to per
form the same work in similar cases.
Bead this:
Mrs. H. W. Jennings, 78 Murray
Sti, Newnan, Ga., says: ”1 testified as
to the merit of Doan’s Kidney Pills
some years ago in a public statement,
and to-day I am pleased to say that my
faith in this remedy is stronger than
ever. I did not have a personal ex
perience with this remedy when I gave
my former testimonial, hut others of
my family had been helped by them.
To-day, however, I can praise Doan’s
Kidney Pills, procured at the Lee
Drug Go., from personal use. They
huve been prompt in curing me * of
pains across my hack and weakness
through my hips and loins, together
with other annoying symptoms of
kidney complaint.”
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get. Doan’s
Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Jen
nings had. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffa
