LOCALS BliOl WIT LORU AliD.
Themany friendsof Mr. and Mrs. J. P.
Jones, jr., sympathize with them in the
loss of their bright little 3-year-old
daughter, Edna Moore, whose death
occurred Monday night in Atlanta, to
which place she had been carried for
treatment. While eating an orange,
about two weeks prior to her death,
she thoughtlessly swallowed one of the
seeds. Passing down the windpipe, the
seed lodged in the bronchial tube and
set up inflammation. Monday night she
was seized with a fit of coughing, and
during the paroxysm the seed was ex
pelled from the bronchial tube, but
lodged in the windpipe, causing her
death. The little body was brought to
Newnan the following afternoon, and,
after a simple service at the grave,
conducted by Rev. H. L. Edmondson,
it was laid to rest in the family lot at
Oak Hill.

Fast Freight Schedules on A. & W. P.
R.R.
Atlanta Journal.
To handle the increase of traffic that
has resulted since the first of the year,
the Atlanta and West Point railroad,
the Georgia railroad, and connecting
lines have put into effect within the
last week the fastest through freight
schedules the road has maintained since
it was organized.
Officials of the Atlanta & West Point
stated Tuesday that a seventeen-hour
freight schedule has been put on be
tween Montgomery and Charleston, and
two extra freight trains have been
added to handle cotton shipments from
East Alabama and West Georgia to the
Atlantic seaboard. According to these
officials, many shipments from the
Pacific coast for Eastern and foreign
points are pouring through this section,
hut the real change in schedule has
been necessitated by the marked re
vival of trade in Georgia and Alabama.

An Enjoyable Day With Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Steed.
Twice since the New Year’s bells
rang out their joyous chimes have
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Steed, of Palmet

and relatives come and sit with them
around their generous board to do jus
tice to the favorite American bird, Mr.
T. Gobbler, with all the dainty accompa
niments that wer>- artistic triumphs of
culinary skill. Mrs. Steed has held on
to her laurels of “immaculate house
keeping and perfect, table fare” since
the days that Madam Kellogg and Miss
Anderson viBiled their former pupil,
then a young matron, and brought bhek
this glowing account. Reared in Cowe
ta and educated at College T mple, she
is regarded with admiration by a large
circle of friends here. The only re
maining granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Bird Parks, of revered memory, who
came to Georgia from Virginia in the
early years of the last century and, set
tling in the Sixth district of Coweta
county, were important factors in mak
ing this section the garden spot of
Western Georgia in those halcyon days
"before the war.” Mrs. Hewlette
Bailey, Mrs. Gordon Lee and Mrs. Joe
Featherston are great-granddaughters
of these grandparents. Mr. and Mrs.
Steed, on the more recent occasion,
were ably assisted in entertaining their
guests by their son and daughter-in-
law, Mr. and Mrs. Vedder Steed, -<nd
their niece, Mrs. Bagiev, of Newnan.
The four grandsons of the house were
present. Just before dinner was an

Croydon Four Corners. One day he
set off for New York to buy a lot of
goods. The goods were shipped immo-
rliately. and as Bill had lingered in New
York sightseeing, they reached Croy
don Four Corners before him. The
goods, in an enormous packing case,
were driven to the general store by the
local teamster. Mrs. Sprague came
out to see what had arrived, and with a
shriek, tottered and fell.
“Oh, what’s the matter, ma’an?”
cried the hired girl.
Mrs. Sprague, her eyes blinded with
tears, pointed to > the packing case,
whereon was stenciled in large black
letters: “Bill Inside.”
A good Methodist once asked John
Wesley to advise him in regard to -u
certain woman well-known to both.
The great preacher told the man that
he never would be happy if he married
her.
“But she is a member of your church,
isn’ 1 she!”
“Yes,” was the reply.
“And you think she is a Christian
woman?”
“I do.”
“Well, then, why should I not marry
her?”
“Because.” replied Wesley, “the
Lord can live with a great many people
that you and I can’t.”

Effect of Great Kidney
Remedy is Soon Realized
I feel it mv duty to let you know
what Swamp-Root did for me. I was
bothered with my hack for over twenty
years and at times I could hardly get
out of bed. I read your advertisement
and decided to try Swamp-Root. Used
five bottles, and it has been five years
since I used it, and 1 have never been
bothered a day since I took the last
bottle of it. I am thoroughly convinced
that Dr. Kilmer’s Swarnp-Root cured
rne and would recommend it to others
suffering as I did.
My husband was troubled with kid
ney and bladder troubles and he took
.vour Swamp-Root and it cured him.

LAWS OF THE INCAS.
A Code That Was Remarkablo For Its
Beneficent Simplicity.
Among Hu- most 1-0111111'kable laws of
tile Incas were those concenilng taxa
tion. Tin- priuetpnl feature of those
laws was Unit taxes were ant paid la
money, tint in work and in produce,
whether niniiiifuctiired or grown. Tito
Inca emperors thought it unjust to de
mand that taxes should la- paid in any
kind of commodity that the people could
not produce iiy their own personal la
bor.
The people also paid another sort of
tribute. Tliej made clothes, shoes and
arms for the soldiers and fol tile poor
who could not work themselves owing
to age or infirmity. The cloth was
made ol wool front the lloeks of llamas
that abounded In tile mountains. On
the plains ol the seaeoasl, where the
climate ts warm and tle-y do not dress
In Woolens, tin- people made cotton
cloths, the cotton being supplied from
the crops of the emperor. The shoes
were made In the provinces where
aloes were most abundant, for they
were made of the leaves of a tree
culled maguey. Knelt province furnish
ed its own produce, and no province
had to supply anything that did not be
long to It.
There was a inundate that forbade
beggary and destitution; that, of course,
followed upon due provision of their
laws. Every citizen was provided for
theoretically and practically. No man
need lie idle; no man need lack laud or
seed or Implements for cultivation;
therefore no one was permitted to lieg.
It any were found lining so It was
•clear proof of idleness, for the Incapa
ble were provided for. and contempt
and punishment were meted out on all
trumps, vagabonds and Idlers.—“The
Secret of the I’uellic.”

the purpose.
