BAY-SCHOOL ON Til* DEATH OE D. R. RUMMERS.
On the lust day of the old year 1914,
in the fulness of the morning, our la
mented brother, I). S. Summers, entered
Narcotic Law Effective March 1.
A new law to control the sale of all
narcotics goeH into effect the tirst of
March, and every druggist, doctor, den
tist, veterinarian, or other dealer in the
United States, will have to comply with
the nation wide regulations imposed by
the internal revenue act. The law pre
scribes conditions for the sale of all
kinds of narcotics, including morphine,
opium, heroin and cocaine.
Kvery dealer or dispenser must regis
ter with the Collector of Internal Rev
enue in their respective districts, (Hon.
A. O. lfialuck, Atlanta, being Collector
for Georgia,) and pay a special tax of
$1 per year. This includes physicians,
dentists, veterinarians, retail and whole
sale druggists, manufacturers, import
ers, or anybody else who happens to
handle them. Mere possession of any
of the articles will be deemed a viola'
tion unlesB the holder is registered.
No one may order the narcotics ex
cept on blanks furnished by the Collec
tor of Internal Revenue, and these must
be made in duplicate, the purchaser and
the seller retaining their copies for two
years. Narcotics sold without orders on
these blanks constitutes a violation of
the law, except that in the case of reg
istered physicians ordering from regis
tered druggists, prescription blanks,
signed and dated, may be used. Every
dealer is required to furnish the Collec
tor of Internal Revenue a report at any
time it is culled for, and books and
stocks must be open for inspection.
The law provides that violations are
punishable by a fine not exceeding ?J,-
(i(IO, or imprisonment fur not more than
five years. The effectiveness of the
new law will be known shortly after
the first of March, when the internal
revenue machinery will be in operation,
throwing Uncle Sam's forces behind
the work.
There are four things in particular
which every dealer must do in order to
continue the sale of narcotics, lie must
register with the Collector of Internal
Revenue and pay (he special tax. When
he orders narcotics they must be or
dered on blanks furnished by the Col
lector.
Dealers must be ready to hand in re
ports of all sales and purchases to the
Collector of Internal Revenue, or any
officer of the service, or allow exami
nation of books, us (hey may be re
quired. Sales can only be made on or
ders from registered physicians, veteri
narians, or dentists, or from other reg
istered parties, and in the lutter case
upon blunks furnishtd for the specific
purpose by the Collector of Internal
Revenue,
The fact that the new law goes into
effect soon makes it necessury for al|
interested in the provisions of the Act
to immediately get in communication
with the revenue officers and be in po
sition to comply with the regulations,
the enforcement of which will be the
most drastic of any of the internal rev
enue laws.
Sold His Bedding to Buy Wiskey.
Home Tribune-Horn Id.
Joe Ashworth is nearly seventy years
of age, partially blind, has no work nor
money, and will doubtless occupy u cell
in the county jail during the next six
months. Not a very pleasant lot, eh?
He plead guilty before Judge J. H.
Reece in the city court Saturday ufter-
noon to a charge of selling whiskey at
what purported to be whiskey —and was
sentenced to pay a fine of one hundred
dollars and costs or go to the county
jail for six months It would not be
correct to say that be chose the latter
alternative. He had no choice. The
amount of the fine, to poor old Joe's
dimming sight, looked like the wealth
of a Rockefeller. He not only couldn't
pay that much—he had never even seen
that much, and bo it is the jiil for
him.
Ashworth told the court that he had
sold his bedding to obtain the money to
purchase the whiskey which he had
sold.
He is married to a wife who is nearly
half a century his junior and who ac
cuses him of beating her. She was
only sixter n yeBrs old when she mar
ried Ashworth, who was then past fifty.
Little Willie had been permitted to
enter the sick room to view the small
stranger who had arrived B few days
before. He looked the little one over
with the disapproval natural to a de
posed monarch. The nurse brought
the baby's bath tub and tilled it with
water. Then she started unwinding
the baby’s outer shell, preparatory to
bathing, while Willie stood liy watching
the procedure with interest. Suddenly
the light of understanding illumined Ins
face and he rushrd to the door.
"Hey, sis!” he shrilled d iwn the
stairs, "come on up, quick, they're go
ing to drown it."

Obituary.
Basil Smith, (commonly known as
"Uncle Baze,") whom to know was to
love, departed this life Jan. 24. He was
born in Gwinnett county, Jan. 2, 1823;
. , , , , was a pioneer of Coweta county, hav-
gently into that last sleep, to awaken , , ■ .
• . , , ' , , ing moved here in 1833; wa« married to

, , _ , preceded him to the land of glory in
hummers was a member of the C entra ,, , ... „ . ..
’ " They were blessed with five chil-
Baptlst church of Newnan, its Sunday-
school, and Bro. H. A. Hall’s Bible
Class. During the first nine months of
the preceding year Bi*b. Summers failed
but twice to be present in his class.
What a splendid record! Was D. S.
Summers faithful in his attendance upon
the Sunday-school? We fxiint to his
record. Was he deeply interested in
Sunday-school work? We point to his
record. Nothing that we could say
would speak more forcibly than-this.
His record is a memorial of his faith
fulness to duty and his love of the work.
Here it is. Let us emulate it. Some
streams are turbulent. They roll over
the rocks, and splash and foam. They
possess power, it is true, but it is a
noisy power. Other streams are placid.
They flow gently along their courses;
little flowers grow upon their hanks;
tall trees gather strength from their
moisture; the valleys are enriched by
their influence; all nature about them
is refreshed and made sweeter by their
presence; a hidden strength lies in their
bosoms. They possess power, but it is
a silent power. Of this latter kind of
stream, if we may use the figure of
speech, was D. S. Summers. Unobtru
sive, unassuming, he pursued the even
tenor of his way, earnestly striving to
embody into his everyday life the Boirit
of the Master. Kind deeds grew along
his pathway; stalwart Christian men
were strengthened by his influence; the
community was better for his presence.
He sought not in a vainglorious manner
the plaudits of his fellow-man, but by
his modest, earnest Christian life he
deserved and won their good will and
eBteem. In every phase of our church
work and life—in the church, in the
Sunday-school, in the prayer-meeting,
in the outside duties of the members,
in the matter of Christian fellowship
lie will be greatly missed; for where his
Christian duty called hirn, there it was
his pleasure to strive to be; and that
service which his Christian duty called
upon him to do, that service it was his
pleasure to strive to perform. "He
fought a good fight, he finished his
course, he has kept the faith. Hence
forth there is laid up for him a crown
of righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous Judge, shall give him at that
day." Therefore, be it—
Resolved, That this memorial be
spread upon the minutes of the church
upon a page dedicated to his memory,
that a copy tie furnished the family,
and also to The Newnan Herald for pub
lication. J. S. Anderson,

We earnestly entreat every young
man, after he bus chosen his vocation,
to stick to it. Don’t leave it because
hard blows are to be struck or disagree
able work performed. Those who have
worked their wuy up to wealth and use
fulness do not belong to the shiftless,
unstable class, but may be reckoned
among such as pulled off their coats,
rolled up their sleeves, conquered their
prejudices against labor, and manfully
bore the heat and burden of the day.
Whether upon the old farm, where
our fathers toiled diligently striving to
bring the soil to productiveness, in the
machine shop or factory, or the thou
sand other business places that invite
honest toil and skill —let the motto ever
be; Perseverance and industry. Stick
to one thing, b >ys, and you will have
success.
One day Mrs. Jones rushed into her
husband's presence with a wild look

John. "Did she get it started?"

There are fifteen grandchildren and six
teen great-grandchildren, whom we
trust will emulate his life. He was
strictly an agriculturist, having guided
the plow to make seventy-two crops.
He was a Christian gentleman, a good
citizen, a loyal Mason, and a gallant
soldier, belonging to the 1st Ga. Caval
ry, and as brave as the bravest. He
was a member of the Methodi.st church,
and always ready when the hour came
to "go up into the house of the Lord."
He fought in the army of the Lord,
and “ran, like the unwearied Paul, to
win the day, and to conquer all.” But,
alas! having finished his work here, the
Lord took hirn to Himself in glory. His
remains were laid to rest beside his
loving wife in the old cemetery at
Moreland, there to await the resurrec
tion morn.

He died as the Christian dies, and he
will be remembered here; therefore, he
has triumphed over death, in time and
eternity. It would be useless for me to
say more. If I were called upon to
write the epitaph of this good old man
I would chisel upon the shaft that
stands above his remains these words—

A State to Be Envied.
Savannah J'rusa.
Alabama got tired of holding so many
elections and determined to cut the
number down. This was done at a Con
stitutional Convention. It seems to be a
good Constitution. It provides for a
General Assembly once in four years,
and the election of a Governor for the
same period. That may seem a long
time to some of us here in Georgia, who
are accustomed to have the lawmakers
gather every June for a long and hot
siege, but Alabama appears to thrive
on it. Of course, they do not have as
many new counties over theru as we do,
nor do they get out a new Code every
year showing that what was the law
yesterday is not the law to-day, nor
will that of to-day be the law of to
morrow—but they manage to exist and
to get p'ong fairly well.
A certain preacher, in one of the
Southern States, was preaching away
one Sunday night when a fire alarm
broke the attentive stillness of the
sanctuary.
"Sit still!" he cried to his disturbed
congregation. "If there is a fire, the
Lord will take care of His own, and
not let anything happen that shouldn’t.”
Just then two children, who had
stepped outside, shrieked:
"Oh, it’s the parsonage! It's the par
sonage!"
Without a farewell that preacher
made a wild bound from the pulpit and
struck out for his burning residence.
"They is times, it seems,” said a
cynical member of the congregation,
"w^en th’ Lord needs he'p.”
-—A farmer had a dream. He dreamed
that he raised 2,7100 bushels of corn, and
was very happy. He then dreamed that
he sold his corn for a dollar a bushel,
and his happiness grew great. But he
dreamed now that he had sold to two
thousand different people, a bushel to
each one, and that none of them had
°f | paid him, and then he was mad. When
he awoke it was broad daylight, and,
leaping out of bed, he exclaimed to his
wife: "Rebecca, I have had a dream
which gives me a solemn warning, and
I know the meaning of it. I am going
off to town to pay the editor the dollar

amazed Mrs. Jones. "It blew her out | paper."—Marion County Patriot,

"That's all right, my dear," returned
the philosophic Jones. "It was her

The man who cheapens himself is
pretty sure to be marked down by his '
neighbors.

Son of Congressman Adamson Now
a Benedict.
Wn-hinirton Cor. Atlanta Constitution.
Washington, Jan. 23.—An interesting
romance which culminattd in the mar
riage of Ernie Adamson, third son of
Representative W. C. Adamson, of
Georgia, and Miss Catherine Cowdery,
daughter of a wealthy citizen of Lake
land, Fla., cam', to light to-dav, when
news reached Washington that Mr. and
Mrs. Adamson had left Jacksonville,
Fla., for the National Capital.
The wedding of these young people
took place in Atlanta on Dec. 30. Rev.
Chas. B. McDaniel performed the cer
emony at his home on Moreland avenue.
The attendants were Gus Russell, for
merly of Carrollton, and now an attorney
of Atlanta, and Evelyn Cowdery, young
er sister of the bride.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr.
Adamson caught the noon train for
Washington and the bride returned to
her parents in Jacksonville. They had
induced Rev. Mr. McDaniel not to re
turn the marriage license for several
weeks.
Both the young people are about the
same age, Mr. Adamson being 21 and
his wife 20. It seems that the parents
of the bride favored another suitor, who
was in Jacksonville this past week
pressing his claims, but the young lady
decided to bestow her heart and hand
according to her own desires. Miss
Cowdery is beautiful and petite, and of
the brunette type.
Taking her younger sister into her
confidence, she arranged for a trip to
Atlanta, ostensibly to visit her dress
maker, and there met her fiancee. As
her father was seriously ill at the time
she hurried back home and decided to
keep the marriage a secret and await
the outcome of his illness.
Mr. Adamson is taking a post-gradu
ate course in law here, having first read
law under his father and graduated in
law at the University of Georgia. He
left Washington Thursday night, having
already requested his brother, Reese
Adamson, of Atlanta, to meet him in
J acksonville. To-day he wired his father
that he and his bride were on their way
to the capital.
No Pistols Sold in This Town.
Milledgeville, Jan. 24 — This city
probably claims a distinction which can
not be equaled by any city of its size in
the State, in that no pistols can be
bought from legitimate dealers here.
City council has placed such a tax on
the little weapons that dealers will not
carry them.
Reliable evidence is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we are continually pub
lishing in the newspapers—hundreds of them—are all genu
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true—if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for^yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Camden, N.J.—“ 1 was sick for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham’s vegetable
Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
your medicine to every one and so does my husband.”— Mrs. Tillie
Waters, 630 Mechanic Street, Camden, N.J.
From Hanover, Penn.
Hanover, Pa.—“I was a very weak woman and suffered from
bearing down pains and backache. I had been married over four
years and had no children. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
proved an excellent remedy for it made me a well woman. After
taking a few bottles my pains disappeared, and we now have one of
the finest boy babies you ever saw.”—Mrs. C. A. Rickrode, R.F.D.,
No. 6, Ilanover, Pa.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
I Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many others—why should it fail in your case?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound lias Been tl»e standard remedy for fe
male ills. No one sick with woman’s ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made front roots and herbs, it
has restored so many suffering women to health.
