BROWN <fc CARPENTER, EDITOR* AND rt/m.MIIKIW. P. WINTER. Contributing Editor. MOKE PEAT/IS FKOM HEART DISEASE. U. S. Census Bureau statistics, covering some 65 per cent, of the popu lation of the country, and for the year 1913, disclose the fact that 30 per cent, of the deaths reported were caused by three diseases tuberculosis, pneumonia and heart disease. The number of deaths from tuberculosis was ‘.i3,421; from heart disease, 93,112; from pneumonia, 83,778. In nine years the mortality from tuberculosis fell from 200.7 per 1,000,000 to 147.0 per 1,000,000. In thirteen years, the mortality from heart disease went up from 123 and a fraction per 1,000,000 to 117 for every 1,000,000 deaths. This increase in the number of deaths from heart trouble of various sorts is worth stopping to consider. It has its causes, and it is well to inquire what these are. It is safe to say that the use of cigarettes is the cuuse of many of the deaths from heart disease that make up this alarming increase. It is a well- known fact that the use of tobacco is dangerous to the heart, and no form of its ubc is aB perilous as cigarette smok ing. Of course, the feverish life of the people of to-day especially the life of city people—is well calculated to bling on heart failure. We live under a constant strain. We are in a hurry about something or other from year’3 end to year’s end. The heart is kept on extra duty much of the time day and night, and finally breaks down. We need to go back to simpler ways; to less extravagant eating and drink ing; to find our stimulants in proper exercise, not debilitating beverages; to avoid the excitement of all intoxi cating recreations, and to have a prop er regard for the laws of health. Dis regarding all these, we may prepnre to pay the penalty in an increased num ber of sudden deaths. THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CAM- DA KIN. Coming events east their shadows before, and it requires no great politi cal prevision to foresee, from certain glimmerings and shades here and there, what may be expected a year hence. The Progressive party is practically dead. The Inst Progressive member of the United Stutes Senate has an nounced himself a candidate on the Republican ticket for re-election. Politicians nre generally pretty well able to sense a situation, and what they think —especially what they say and do—may he taken ns worth more than the straws which show which way the wind blows. Of course, nobody knows what Theodore Roosevelt will do. He will do the unexpected, we may be sure. But leaving his possible future course out of the calculation, it is more than probable that the contest next year will be between the Democrats and Republicans. In view of this prospect, the Demo crats, if they hope to remain in power, must get together and stay together. If the Democrats should divide into factions, or if there should be luke warmness in the ranks, the result will hardly be in doubt. A divided Democ racy in 1916 will mean a defeated Democracy. Georgia Drainage Congress. The fourth annual meeting of the Georgia Drainage Congress will be held at Albany May 12 and 13. The in dications are that it will be the most interesting and successful meeting in its history. The (Jeorga Drainage Congress was organized in 1912 to promote drainage of swamp lands and stream control. There is hardly a State in the Union that has more interest in this question than (ieorgia. The (ienerul Assembly passed in 1911 an excellent Bnd com prehensive law for the promotion of drainage, establishment of drainage districts, and the proper financing of drainage projicts not by single indi vidual effort, (which in most cases is impracticable,) but by collective work. Proper drainage can be accomplished in no other way. But we need more legislation, and must present a united front to perfect the law and to give encouragement to the utilization of Georgia’s large acreage of wet and oveflowed lands, rich in agricultural possibilities, but now useless for want of State encour agement and co-operative effort. Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Geolo gist of North Carolina, will address the Congress and tell us what North Caro lina has done, and why she is so far ahead of other Southern States in effective drainage. What she has done we enn do. Mr. S. W. McCallie, our mvn State Geologist, will tell us of ac tual physical conditions in Georgia, il lustrating his lecture with lantern slides. Mr. S. W. McCrory, Chief of Drainage Investigations, Department of Agriculture, a recognized expert, will deliver an address. There will be prac tical and interesting talks and papers from other distinguished men. The importance of the Southern States in connection with this question was acknowledged by the National Drainage Congress at its meeting last year in Savannah, when it elected as its president Hon. E. J. Watson, of South Carolina. He will attend and make an address. Hon. N. E. Harris, Governor-elect of Georgia, has promised to attend and we have strong hopes that Gov. Slaton will be present. Dr. Soule, of the State College of Agricul ture, has expressed his earnest desire to attend. The municipal authorities and the Chamber of Commerce at Albany have cordially invited us, and will do all in their power to make the meeting a success. No special qualifications are necessary for attendance on the congress. The fact that the subject interests you as a good citiz.en is alone sufficient. The officers, however, would be much grati fied if counties, cities, towns, boards of trade and chambers of commerce throughout the State would give official recognition to the congress and appoint delegates.

MORELAND. The memorial exercises held here on the 20th ult. were an unqualified suc cess. The school children did well in their rendition of the old patriotic songs. The main feature of the oc casion, however, was the address by Col. W. C. Wright, of Newnan. His address on “The Old South” was a fine piece of oratory, and greatly enjoyed by the large audience present. After the exercises the children marched to the cemeteries and scattered flowers on the graves of the old soldiers. The occasion was a memorable one, and the credit for its success is due to Capt. P. A. Carmical, who managed the affair. The play given last Friday night by the young people was a great success. A large crowd was out and enjoyed the play very much. Mrs. Fannie Camp, who has been suffering from an attack of the grip, is quite ill at this time. Mrs. Hugh Camp and two children have gone to Cook’s Spring to spend the summer. Next Sunday is “Mother’s Day,” and will be observed with a special service at the Methodist church Sunday morn ing. Sermon by the pastor. At night the services will be turned over to the children, who will render the “Chil dren’s Day” programme, consisting of songs and recitations, etc. May 5th. Some people love to be in the wrong. Otherwise why don’t they come over to the right side when we reason with them? It’s sometimes easier to settle down than it is to settle up. Maxwell I J\(eu)19/5 JVfodel ’695 Official figures compiled by Com missioner of Agriculture Price show that during the present season, from Jan. 1, 1915, to April 28. 1915, there hud been 4,741,965 tons less of com mon-ini fertilizers marketed in Geor gia than for the same period last year. These figures are based upon the num ber of fertilizer tags sold by the department. From Jan. 1 to April 28 this year fertilizers sold in the State aggregated 7,795,140 tons as against 12,741,965 for the same period last year. This was 50.47 per cent, of the 1914 record. 17C\{g is) Teatures Powerful—fast—unusually graceful and beautiful in its lines—roomy, comfortable and completely equipped with Top, Windshield, Speedometer, and anti-skid tires on rear, the 1915 Maxwell at $695 has more high priced car features than ever put in an auto mobile before for less than $1,000.

A Georgia editor thus apostrophizes the sweet vernal season: "The dove can be heard softly calling to his mate, the red bin! is perched high up in the poplar tree, the cackling ot the hen can bo heard in the barnyard, the lizzard can be seen on the log taking a sun bath, the fish are beginning to bite, the women folks are visiting around in the settlement, an! th > horny-handed sons of toil are turning old Mother Earth bottom side upward —which reminds us that spring is nigh." While in Atlanta last week Ger aldine Farrar, the frisky little prima donna, paid a visit to L to Frank in his cell at the Fulton county jail, and after looking him over declared that he was an “innocent man.” That’s what Burns, the “great detective,” asserted. That’s what all Jewdom say. In fact, Frank says so himself. Prescriptions a Specialty Small boys will eat green apples—“big boys ’ too.
