WHO'S A PUPPY?
For more than one hundred years the
United Stales have made the proud
boast that this country oould live re-
Kardless of any exigencies that might
exiBt in other purls of the world; that
this country, hounded as it is on the
one hand by the I’aciflc ocean and on
the other by the Atlantic, separated
thousands of miles from the "Yellow
Peril;" on the other hand separated
thousands of miles from the heterogen
eous elements of Continental Huropo—
the rest of the world might go to hell,
if they chose to do so, and still we
would be basking under the sunny skies
of America—the land bubbling over
with milk and honey and hog and homi
ny.
And now, my fellow -citizens, wo have
an opportunity to illustrate! the declara
tion made by every hill-billie orator of
the last century or more, from the
mountains of New Hampshire to the
swutnps of Florida, and yet here we are,
tht* average one of os, going around
like a mangy dog, whining about the
"war." You can hardly get an audi
ence with a man on any subject, and
nine-tenths of the people seem to he
under the impression that Homebody
bus done them or their folks a serious
injury.
The question at this hour is not "Who
hit Billie Patterson?”—but are the
American people—the Southern people
a lot of pule-face molly-coddles, with
skimmed gout's milk (lowing through
their veins, or have they inherited the
rich, red blood of our American sires
who left their bloody footprints on the
frozen valleys of Virginia, when George
Washington led them on to a victorious
deliverance from the yoke of English
royalty?
These men won because they had
sand m their gizzards instead of grape
mils, and guts in their bellies instead
of tapeworms.
True, we nmy have to abandon some
of our twentieth century luxuries. It
may he necessary for us to adjust our
selves to a new basis of living—but
should we surrender? True it is. some
of our folks may have to divert to some
extent the stream of gold that has for
the last ton years flowed from our
vaults and into the coffers of Mr. Ford,
Mr. Packard, Mr. Uuick and Mr. Sax
on, and other esteemed fellow-country
men to the north of us. but w« can still
raise mule colts nnd jersey hulls and
get there somehow, even though it he
at a lower rate of speed.
True it may be. that our women folks
may have to suspend their suffragette
convocations for a brief spell and re
sume the monotonous business of look
ing after the bailies and knitting sox
for the men- but this is the way they
used to do and they managed to live
through it.
True it may he, that our dads won't
have quite as much money to spend on
their boys in the way of Piedmont
cigarettes, patent leather shoes and ice
eriom clothes, and it may even be pos
sible that the boy will have to learn
something about self-denial and pliysi-
c»l labor -but this is the way they used
ti do, and several of them managed to
live through it Take, for instance,
Abraham 1 .incolii and a few other cheap
skates.
True it may he. that some of our far-
— v
mers will bp driven, against their will*
to the production of hog and hominy,
peas and potatoes and sorghum and
cider—but that iB the way they used to
do in the old days, and some of them
managed to live through it.
True it may be, that the insincere
politician who has been feeding the
"dear people” on glitte'ing generali
ties and pleasing platitudes may be
called upon to deliver the goods instead
of honeyed phrases—but this is the way
they used to do in the old days and the
country managed to survive it.
True it may be, that these kind of
times serve to show up in the commu
nity who is tho real man and who is the
humbug, but we will have to submit if
we can’t do any better.
True it may he, that preachers will
be driven to revisiting the sick, the
widows and orphans, and preaching the
gospel instead of politicking around—
but that is tho way they used to do in
the old days, und it may even be possible
for us to survive the conditions of that
extreme character at the present time.
England's unpreparedness for tin's
war is literally astounding; they have
boon raising milksops over there in
stead of men, and suffragettes instead
of mothers.
In France they have been intoxicated
for a generation or more with an inor
dinate love for dress, dissipation in all
forms, and a repudiation of God.
On the other hand, Germany lias giv
en the world an object lesson in home
making, statesmanship, manufacturing,
banking, farming and religion, (although
they do drink a little beer in the after
noon after spending e good part of the
morning at church.) It is probably
not necessary, however, for one to
drink a little beer in order to he truly
religious.
1 have not subscribed to Teutonic su
premacy, because I have believed that
there is too much trace of Bismarck and
Von Moltke’s “blood and iron" policy
in the German people. On tho other
hand, I say lot tho beat man win, and
let’s quit whining nnd go to work.
Suppose Germany had our opportuni
ties. Suppose German farmers had the
same opportunity to-day that the South
ern farmer has within his grasp; he
would not only feed his own family, but
supply produce for families across the
seas.
Some people say that if the Germans
should win over tho ullied armies that
they would then ply their aggressions
to the south of us; seize the Fanu-
ma Canal und destroy the Monroe Doc
trine and dominate the commerce of
South America. Suppose all this should
happen, which might merely after till
be the vagary of some mild-mannered
statesman’s imagination, is that uny
reason why wo should go around with a
face as long as a lamp post talking war
instead of work?
The American people stultified the
Monroe Doctrine when they planted
themselves on the Philippine Islands, on
which the "Yellow Peril" ulready had
one foot.
The German people have ulready ta
ken advantage of our supineness, and
now practically control the commerce of
South America.
One word in conclusion, and this is
with reference to our merchants and
bankers. The only criticism I have for
either is that they have been too good
to the people. All this talk to the con
trary is nonsense and is ingratitude, and
the man who indulges in it will wuke
up before this thing is over to the fact
that he has been making a fool of him
self.
I.et’s get down to hrass tacks —adjust
ourselves to the new conditions—turn
our faces to the rising sun—get busy!

What Would You Do ?
There are many times when on“
man questions another’s actions and
motives. Men act differently un
der different circumstances The ques
tion is, what would you do right now
if you had a severe odd? Cou'd you do
better than to take Chamberlain's
Cough Keniedy? It is highly recom
mended bv people who have used it for
years and know its value. Mrs. O. E.
Sargent, Peru, ind.. says. “Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is worth its
weight in gold and I take pleasure in
recommending it.". For sale by all
dealers.
May Lose on Damaged Cotton.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 22.—Cotton plan
ters may lose as much on damaged cot
ton next spring as they have lost by
war prices, is the belief of many ex
perts who have been studying the situ
ation, and they say planters should
make haste to store their bales out of
the weather.
Bankers, it is stated, can perform a
valuable service by using every resource
to force cotton into storage. Haynes
McFadden, secretary of the Georgia
Bankers’ Association, is sending out to
members a letter written to President
L. G. Council, of the association, by
Mr. Mills B. Lane, of Savannah, who
says;
"It is our opinion that the planter
will be as great a loser by damaged cot
ton next spring when he is ready to sell
as he is damaged by low prices now.
I believe it would do more good if the
bankers' association could bring about
a campaign to make the farmers pro
tect their cotton than anything it has
attempted. ”
Commenting on this President Coun
cil says;
"1 certainly think it would be well
for our association to get busy along
this lino and try to prevail upon far
mers to store their cotton in the ware
houses and out of the weather. If our
banks will take hold of this it will, in
my judgment, help materially.
"I might also say that the farmers,
as 1 see it, should bring their cotton in
to the warehouses if for no other pur
pose than to turn the receipts over to
their creditors. In my section I find
many are holding back their cotton on
their farms, when they have obligations
that should be secured, at least with
the warehouse receipts for this cotton,
until finally sold.”
The bankers’ assodiation, which is
making every effort to relieve the situ*
ation in cotton, will mako a campaign
all over the State, urging that the cot
ton bo properly protected.
Stop Those Early Bronchial Coughs.
They hang on all winter if not check
ed, and pave the way for serious throat
and lung diseases. Get a bottle of Fo
ley’s Honey and Tar Compound, and
take it freely. Stops coughs and colds,
heals raw, inflamed throat, loosens
the phlegm and is mildly laxative.
Best for children and grown persons.
No opiates. For Bale by all dealers.
Tho lovely girl, having lingered a min
ute to make sure that her skirt fitted
to her entire satisfaction, descended
to the parlor to find the family pet in-
sconced upon the knee of the young man
caller, and her curly head ne3tled com
fortably against his shoulder.
“Why, Mabel," the young lady ex
claimed, "aren’t you ashamed of your
self? Get right down.”
"Shan’t do it,” retorted the child. "I
got here first. ”

DELICATE CHILDREN
Should Read the Following
Letter—Mrs. Slack’s Story
About Her Child’s Recovery
Is Entirely Reliable.
Palmyra, Pa. — "Three years ago my
little girl had black measles which left
her with a chronic cough and so awfully
thin you could count all herribB,and she
coughed so much she had no appetite.
"Nothing we gave her seemed to
help her at ell until one day Mrs. Neibert
tola me how much good Vinol had done
her little girl, so I decided to try it for
my little one, and ithasdone herso much
good she is hungry all the time, her
cough is gone, she ;a stouter and more
healthy in color and this is the first win
ter she has been able to play out in the
snow, coasting and snow-balling without
any ill effects.’’—Mrs. Alfred Slack,
Palmyra, Pa.
We know Vinol will build up your
little ones and make them healthy,
strong and robust, therefore we ask
parents of every frail and sickly child
in this vicinity to try a bottle of Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic
without oil.
If we can induce you to try a bottle
of Vinol as a body-builder and strength-
creator for your child, and you do not
find it is all we claim, we will return
your money on demand.
JOHN R. CATES DRUG CO., Newnan
A Sketch From Life.
Judge Henry Revill. in Meriwether Vindicator.
The must humanly human picture my
eyes ever beheld is a boy in a buggy
with his sweetheart and driving a mule.
The very awkwardness of tlie couple
emphasizes the absence of guile, and the
naturalness of the situation displays
tho sincerity of tho actors.
Such a picture I saw Sunday. The
boy was a caution. He didn’t know
what to do with his hands and feet. He
was certain as to where he wanted his
arm to be, hut not sure it would do to
put it there.
The girl, too, was just as much at a
loss to know what to do with her feet
and hands.
Their facial expressions reminded you
more of syrup candy than anything
else.
It was nature. It was free from all
art or hypocrisy. ’Twas the spontane
ous picture of two human hearts mir
rored in human faces.

HUSBAND RESCUED I
DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—in an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: "I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
i all. At times, I would have severe pains
in my left side.
Tlie doctor was called in, and his treat-
; meat relieved me for a while, but 1 was
soon confined to my bed again. After
1 that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.
