The Herald and Advertiser NEW NAN. FIRDAY. NOV. 13. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR IK ATHAWfTK. The Value of Love. What is the rash value of love? So far the only attempt* that's ever been made to give love a market ration have been in breach of promise suilH where forsaken damsels have placed the damage to their uffections at sums that ranged all the way from $100 to $100,000. That these estimates of the intrinsic worth of affection have been considered excessive, and have been liberally Rcalyd down by the juries, in not to lie considered as con stitution a standard of value. Most of U£ are inclined to bo cynical regarding the break in a heart that can be plas tered up, and made as good as whole by the application of a few greenbacks. Yet, for all that, love is not listed among the negotiable securities on the stock exchange, there is no Cupid Con solidated, or Mutual Affection, pre ferred, or Cuaranteed I’nion Devotion at whose quotation we may glance in the morning over our coffee, love Htill has an actual cash value, and ia quite as valuable an asset bh anything in our Htrnng boxes. Nor does this refer wholly to senti mental consideration. It ia a cold, hard, business proposition that the ability to win love ia juHt as much a factor in any nne'a success in the world as is the ability to earn money. Who are the people that we help, that we lend money to, and whose credit we boost into success? The worthy? The needy? The industrious and thrif ty? Not at all. It iB the people we like. Who'are the ones we Hhoulder into buc- eeHH? The especially gifted? The un usually lit? Not a bit of it. It is the people we like. Cenius nllied to an un- plcasing personality still starves in gar rets, while agreeable mediocrity has golden opportunities thrown in its way. The most forcible illustration, how ever, that the world affords of the cash value of love is to he found iri the do mestic,relationship. Nobody ever ap praises a man’s love for his wife as n tangible asset, yet in reality the worth of a genuine case of affection for his wife runs the capital on which any man iH doing.business up $T>0,Oufi a year. If ho is violently in love with tier this fig ure may be safely doubled, while if he thinka she is tile only woman in the world, and that nothing is good enough for her, he has practically unlimited (inanciiiljn sources. This is not an ex aggerated statement. Dove has also turned rriuny a man into a millionaire. It is a power so great that it is genius in itself. Just because he wants to clothe some woman he loves in silks and jewels makes many a naturally indolent man into a hustler. Thcjknowledge that a woman believcsJl'n him, and < xpects him to succeed, nerves a man up to do the very lust that is in him, just ns the ltnuwledgu that his wife is indifferent to him, and will nag him, and twit him with hia failures, saps his energies and paralyzes his courage. A quiet, peaceful happy home, is such an element in a man’s success, n tender,'affectionate, loving wife is such an inspiration to him that it is a won der lliut even sellish women, who care for only what they run get out of their husbands, have not sense enough to see that in failing to give a man any ap preciation they are literally starving to death the goose that lays the golden egg. A cheerful, loving life is a mascot. A fretful, unloving wife is a hoodoo, and thus it happens that love wins out, and draws down the prize in money as well as in domestic pouce and huppi- ness. So far as women are concerned men will tind that it is also money in their pockets to love their wives, and keep their wives in love with them. It is a cynical marital joke that the man who quarrels with his wife has to square him self by means of tine raiment and im ported millinery. More than this, there is no doubt that v hen women are un- happyfthcy relievo their feelings by ex travagance, as miserable men do theirs by drink. As long as a woman believes in a husband’s affection she can he happy in a log cabin, or a two by four tlat, and it is because love flies so often out of the window that so much money has to come in by the door. As long ns a nun tells his wife that she is the most beautiful woman in the world in his eyes she will wear last year’s clothes without a word of repining. As long as a man takes any interest in holding his wife's hand she will glad ly work it to the bone for him. and, this being the case, it is a wonder that the sex that prides itself on its financial sagacity has never thought it worth while to bestow more kisses and com pliments and less coin on his wife, it would make for economy. I’orhaps, when we come to regard love as a tangible asset, instead of u dream, we shall lie less cureless about losing or mislaying it. There would he fewer divorces if the average husband and wife were us cureful of each oth er’s affections as they ure of a five dol- Ur bill.

Popular Mi ehanifu Msirexino, CIobg by the west bank of the Hud son, and lying I etween Stony 1’oint and West river in the lower pvssage to the Highlands, in a region made famous by the Revolutionary War, is lonu Island, the ammunition base of the United Slati-h navy. Describing this spot anrl the work that is carried on there, a wri ter to this magazine says: “At this little known place, a reser vation of slightly more than a hundred acres, several hundred men are em ployed in the preparation of ammuni tion for the gunsof our warships. Rack of the hills which seclude most of the island from general view are maguzines and stori-ho .sea holding approximately 3,000.000 pounds of smokeless powder, 1,000,000 pounds of black powder, and tens of thousands of ahells. “Skirting the island, joining its labo ratories and storage places, and con necting with the landing pier is a small railroad, the locomotive of which is op erated by compressed uir. This is used in the transportation of the deadly car goes from one building to another and in carrying ammunition to the dock where it is received for the warships. The precaution of having a locomotive which will not throw off sparks, radi ate heat nor require connection with high-voltage electric wires is necessary to averl the danger of an explosion. “Four separate fire-proof walls sur round each of the magazines, which ate divided into compartments in order to safeguard against the complete de struction of the works in the event of a fire or small explosion. Careful in spection of all of the cartridge stores and powder buildings are made at fre quent intervals during both day arid night. After sundown every visit at one of these places is recorded at the administration building by electric in struments. Close attention is paid to the temperatures wherever explosives are kept, thn heat being regulated to remain between SB and 90 degrees at all timcB. The interior walls and floors of the magazines are so made that not a single pieee of iron or steel is exposed. Upon entering one of the structures in spectors and workmen wear a special kind of clothing and soft Hhoes without nails, carrying absolutely nothing com posed of iron nor anything whicli might produce a spark. “Similar precautions are taken in the filling rooms, where the charges are placed in the shells. Here every one is dressed in white serge, and the tools, such us measuring cups, scales and fun nels, are made of copper, which does not give oil sparks, even when struek by stolle. The supply of powder to be used during the day is brought to the tilling rooms each morning, where it is emptied into a long wooden trough. Over half of the smokeless powder used here is manufactured at the navy prov ing ground at Indian Head, Md , while the rest is supplied by private firms at the rate of 70 cents a pounds." Going Too Far and Too Fast. There was once a doubting Thomas in a certain section of the mountains of North Georgia who did not believe the reports of a railroad about to be built through his community. When they begun grading Ins neighbors tried to make him acknowledge the raad was a surety. "They’ll never git the cross tics and rails down, “ he dolefully said. In due course of lime the rails wore laid. Still he w.ts not convinced. “They'll never git a truin to run ’em,’’ he insisted. Finally, an engine rolled into the community, and a neighbor persuaded the < Id man to go down arid see the sight. They arrived at the station and pointed oui the engine. “Well, Uncle John, don’t you be lieve now?” "Naw, sir; they’ll never git it started." Own Your Own Home. No man who has the opportunity should fail to acquire title to the pro perty in which he is to reside. Until one owns his own home, his life is not complete as It should be. Even if a man must go in debt to secure his home, it is the thing for him to do. I’aying for a home is a good game as one can engage in, and the difficulties attending it but lend Z"8t to the struggle. Those who enter the lists almost invariably come out better for the effort. Really, the chances taken are not formidable. In almost any city, pur chase of real e.stato at a fair valuation is a good business investment. Land values are going up the while and they will continue to go up for years. In cities like ours with desirable influence and every advantage as a residence city, there is not even the prospect of a reversal. If there did not exist the commercial argument in favor of owning one’s home, there would be plenty of other reasons for recommending it. Some one has remarked that it is like reach ing the state of parenthood. When one acquires a home he has something worth living for—fighting for. It makes him a better citizen and a bet ter member of society. It gives him a substantial interest in the great or ganization known as government. And while it increases a man's sense of obligation to society and his country, it gives him a new sort of freedom. In hiB own a man feels at liberty to do things he does not feel like doing in the homes of others. He expands and de velops his energy. i’erhaps he establishes a talent for mechanics. Perhaps he makes a garden and satisfies an inherent long ing to dig and plant. He may never become an inventor or a successful grower of plant life, hut he can have the fun and satisfaction of trying with out feeling that he is imposing on some one else. If he wants to have a work bench in the cellar or tear up the lawn for his experiments in gardening, it is his own business. It costs money to keep up a home, hut what of that? It costs money to en joy any of the pleasures of this life, and there is nothing that gives so big a return for the expenditure as does an abode wherein one can exercise his own will. No other possession he may ac quire ever means quite so much to a man as does this first home. - ■ ■ ♦ Remarkable Cure of Croup. “Last winter when my little boy had croup I got him a bottle of Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy.

An unusual feature of the fleorgia- Florida Fair at Valdosta and one that is attracting much attention, is the exhibit by the negro canning club. The enrollment in this club for this year is •100 and the members have put up over 40,000 cans. This is their first year in the work and the members were trained by a negro woman working under the industrial training department of the General Education Board. This is part of the work which Prof. George D. Godard, of Milner, has in charge and is some of its first visible fruits. The work of the negro girls is said to be very fine and to show up creditably in comparison with that of the other can ning clubs. At first glance the white people may not be especially interested in this work, but if the white farmer and the land-owner who has negro tenants will think what it would mean to him if the negro's family would can enough products that are going to waste on the farm to last it through winter, and if the housewife will con sider what it would meun to her if her Story of a Familiar Hymn. A young mother was accustomed to sing her restless little boy to sleep with I)r. Watts' hymn, “Hush, my babe.” When he was only twelve years old she died, and the poor little fellow was heartbroken. His father, a stern, un demonstrative man. left the boy almost entirely to his own devices. Having no sisters or relatives in the home to restrain him, he drifted onto the streit and into bad company. He grew wild and reckless, going from had to worse rapidly, and finally left home entirely. The vague rumors that came back from lime to time were sad enough. On" evening a young man was Bittimf alone in a little room in a cheap board ing house. His face showed plainly the marks of dissipation. Men spoke of him as they passed him on the street as a “hard ticket.” He wqb intending now to go out at midnight to meet two of lus cronies and commit a bold robbery. Everything was ready. He had only to wait here a little longer before putting them into execution. But as he sat there alone in the dark he was startled to hear a mother in the adjoining room singing the old familiar hymn: “Hush, my babe,” to her baby. Evidently the child was very restless, for she sang it over and over. The listener sprang up with an oath, and taking his hat, was about to rush out into the street, but remembering that he must not be seen, he sat down again thrusting hia fingers into his ears. He could not shut out the sound, how ever, and he seemed to see his fair young mother bending tenderly over him. He could almost feel her caresses and hear her loving words. It seemed to him he could not hear it. What would she say if she could see him now, if she knew what he had in his heart to-night? Before the sun rose his hands might be stained with blood! Thank God! she did not know! She had bade him meet her in heaven; she had said she would be waiting for him. If he should die to-night heaven’s gates would be closed to him. Hour after hour he fought his battle. It was a desperate one, but just be fore the time came for him to meet his associates, he crept stealthily to the station and boarded the first train that came. His mother’s hymn had saved him. Women Suffer Terribly From Kidney Trouble.

"But she is a member of i’our church, isn’t she?” “Yes,” was the reply. “And you think she is a Christian woman?" “I do.’’ I “Well, then, why should I not marry her?" “Because," replied Mr. Wesley, "the Lord can live with a great many people that you and I can’t.” There is no manhood mill which takes in hoys and turns out men.
