NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN, FRIDAY, FEB. 5. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR IN AUVANCB. — Resolutions of Respect Anorr*D by centrai. rai-tirt church and run. 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."

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, H. C. Arnull, jr., J. Litt Jones, Committee. 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 excitement. "On, John!" she exclaimed. "Norah made a mis f ake and tried to light the kitchen fire with gasoline!" "Gasoline, eh?" calmly responded John. "Did she get it started?" 189! dren, two of whom are yet living. 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. “A nnme, r»*arhinj? down the aj?e of time.

Bailing on through the depths of the On whose brightness wc gaze each evening anew/' 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— "Here lies an honest man, the noblest work of God." P. A. Carmical, Comrade Co. K, 1st Ga. Cav. Moreland, Ga., Jan. 27th. 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 I owe him on the subscription to his "Did she get it started?" cried the amazed Mrs. Jones. "It blew her out | paper."—Marion County Patriot, the kitchen window!" "That's all right, my dear," returned the philosophic Jones. "It was her afternoon out, anyway.” The man who cheapens himself is pretty sure to be marked down by his ' neighbors.

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.

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.
