the: situation in Mexico.
The policy of "watchful waiting" so
term ami so patiently pursued hy the
l!r,lint Stall's towards Mexico, has at
last worn threadbare. This fact is evi
dent even to President. Wilson, and it is
equally patent to the people of the
wlmle country.
For many reasons it hHS been a wise
policy. Naturally, the sympathies of
the l,atm-American nationH were with
Mexico. The suspicious distrust of these
nations towards the United States,
which has been well-known, was per-
h»i*i as natural us the sympathy they
felt for Mexico. This attitude made
any steps thut might lie taken by the
Untied States open to suspicion, if not
downright opposition, on the psrt of
the nations south of us. Resides, this
country wanted no war with Mexico,
anil wants none now; hut all Europe
looked to this country to restore order
in Mexico, and under the Monroe doc
trine we were unwilling for any coun
try beyond the ocean to take part in
the settlement of Mexican affairs. Our
policy of non-interference in Mexico
has been made possible much longer
than it would otherwise have been by
the European war. Rut for that great,
all-absorbing struggle mutters would
have reached art acute stage long ago.
But further forbearance would seem to
bo no longer a virtue. If there lived in
any community in this county a family
the heads of which spent their whole
time in lighting each other, while the
children were left to starve or heg,
there would lie a manifest duty in the
case;—the neighbors would go in and
make peace- -peaceable if possible, or
bv any means necessary.
For years Mexico lias been in a state
of civil war. Rival leaders unite only
to defeat other leaders, and then fall
to fighting each other. Carranz i and
Villa drive out Huerta and then go to
war with each other. In the meantime
the poor people of the war-ridden and
war-ruined land are starving, and this
country is called on to'feed them, while
the men who aspire to leadership ex
ploit their rival claims with the lives of
those they seek to govern.
There may bo a remnant of patriots
left in Mexico and some small remains
of patriotism. If so, I’resident Wilson's
appeal ought to have weight, and help
to bring about better conditions. If
this ih not the case, there is little hope
for nnything short of urmed interven
tion.
Possibly (and this may be the pur
pose of the Administration) the United
Stales can unite with the sume powers
(Argentina, Brazil and Chile,) that
came to the rescue of Mexico a few
months ago, and with them form a joint
protectorate over unhappy Mexico.
Such a coalition would avert war with
Mexico. Otherwise there appears an
unpleasant possibility, if not probabili
ty. that the army of the United States
will have to go down into Mexico and
bring the warring factions to terms
that will insure the peace of the nation,
as well as the safety and well-being of
its people and the interests of all who
have gone into Mexico, either in person
or with their money.
Till-: LEGISLATURE.
This body will soon be in session. It
is only a matter of some two weeks
until that body will he sweating and
aweilbring in the capitol, und wrestling
with question 1 of legislation, wise and
otherwise, expedient and inexpedient.
Doubtless many hills have already been
drawn by aspiring members of the
body with a view of getting them on
the calendar at an early stage in the
session, and thus secure their consider
ation and (msible enactment before
the body grows too impatient from the
high register of the thermometer to
give cool attention to any
measure.

REFORMED KENTL'i. EY.
Years ago a native of Kentucky,
with more wuggishness than State
pride, thus apostrophized his common
wealth—
"Kentucky. O Kentu ky!
The Inn*] where 1 w ** bon.
Wtwwi* #*>rn i* full t»f kernel«
And Colonel* full of corn,"
If this consciencel-ss wag is still
among the living ho ought to write a
retraction of this bit of rhyming
slander. K-ntueky is in the front
rank of reforming and reformed States.
Take this as an illustration: The i
other day a prominent citizen of the |
State was convicted of a serious of-1
fense against the laws of the common-1
wealth. WKile out making up a ver- J
diet the jury engaged in pri yer for
special divine direction. When the
fact became known the attorney for
the convicted man appealed for a new
trial, alleging thut this procedure was
prejudicial to his client and calculated
to thwart the ends of justice. The
presiding Judge overruled the appeal,
holding that if Jehovah answered the
prayer the verdict was right; if not
praying did no harm anyway.
l ake another instance: Not |long
since the Governor of the State joined
in a State-wide movement looking to
an increased attendance on Sunday-
schools. He issued a proclamation in
due and solemn form, calling on all the
people of the commonwealth to ob
serve a go-to-Sunday-school movement
on a certain Sabbath,
And again: Most of the territory of
Kentucky has become “dry” under
local option, and it is among the
certainties of the near future that the
State will no longer be the legal home
of the sale and manufacture of the
famous whiskieB that have come from
that region since the days whereof the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary.
Verily, Kentucky is no longer “the
dark and bloody ground” of song and
story.
Commissioner of Agriculture J. D.
Price hus arranged this year, for the
llrnt time, to secure show-cases on the
first floor of the capitol building, in
which are to be regularly displayed the
best exhibits of corn, grain, hay, can
ned fruits and vegetables shown in the
annual Georgia Corn Show by the Boys’
Corn Chibs and the Girls' Canning Clubs
of the State. Some line exhibits from
the last corn show are now displayed in
these cases, and it is the purpose of the
Commissioner to replenish them each
year, showing the best of the products
grown and put up by the boys and girls
of the State. These will remain on ex
hibition for practically an entire year,
and the Georgia boys and girls who
would like 11 have their products in
this display would do well to begin
now, with a view to making the very
best they know how. The names of
tho boys and girls who produce them
ure prominently displayed upon the ex
hibits.
The official list of members of the
House in the Sixty-fourth Congress
shows thut of the 435 members 230 are
Democrats, 191 Republicans, 7 Progres
sives, 1 Independent snd 1 Socialist,
together with four vacancies, and the
First New York district not yet deter
mined between Democrat and Republi
can.
The sensation of the week was Hon.
Wtn. J. Bryan’s resignation on Tuesday
last ns Secretary of State, and his re
tirement from President Wilson’s cabi
net. The “great commoner” has been
in a state of painful repression for some
time, and our only surprise is that he did
not break loose sooner.
The Prison Commission has refused
to recommend commutation of Frank’s
sentence, and the case is now squarely
up to Gov. Slaton. Unless granted ex
ecutive clemency or a respite he will go
to the gallows one week from next
Tuesday,
RAYMOND.
Saturday afternoon the good n-ople ;
of Raymond and Raymond district were
the hosts at a very enjoyable barbecue, i
There were many visitors from New- j
nun and Atlanta and some of the sur
rounding points, and all departed prats- j
mg the hospitality shown them, and the
good time they hid had The principal!
amount of praise was givrn to the |
atile " 'cue artists" who prepared the
main part of the entertainment, be
cause, when it comes to cooking pigs
and Bruns wick stew in the old-fashioned
Georgia style, Messrs. Emmett and Ei- j
win Bailey have no peers in the State.
All were much interested in several
very able and instructive addresses de
livered by the four distinguished visi
tors. Congressman Adamson, who
came to Raymond to mingle with his
many friends for the afternoon, made a
short talk, which was very instructive
as well as entertaining. Dr. Peter F.
Bahnsen, State Veterinarian, spoke on
matters dealing with the cattle and hog
industry, and cited many figures and
facts showing their applicability to
Coweta county. Mr. D. G. Hughes,
Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture,
made a very interesting and beautiful
talk on the suhject of country home
life, emphasizing that every farmer
should make the home his first thought,
and every city man should, where pos
sible, have a home in the country alBo.
Mr. J. H. Blackwell, County Farm
Demonstrator, spoke on meters deal
ing with the proper care and cultiva
tion of the crops, stating that it made
no difference what crop was under cul
tivation just so that crop was given
proper attention.
Poatoffice Inspector J. W. Cole
stopped at Raymond last week for an
inspection of the local office. This is
only the second visit he has made since
the establishment of the office. Post
master Winslett is to be congratulated
on the confidence placed in him by the
department.
Mr. Ii. F. Shedden moved to Ray
mond with his family last Thursday.
They will remain here during the sum
mer and enjoy the pleasures that their
beautiful country home affords
Miss Osa Carmical, of Hapeville, and
Miss Opal Carmical, of Union City,
spent the week-end at Raymond with
relatives and friends. Several enjoya
ble affairs were given in their honor.
Rev. L P. Winter, of Grantville,
will make an address at the Raymond
school-house on the evening of the third
Saturday on the unique subject, “Be
hold, I have played the fool.”
Prof, and Mrs. J. S. Morton, Prof.
McGee and Miss Sarah Brittain left
Monday for Carrollton to attend the
normal school held there for the teach
ers of this section ot the State.
Miss Allie Stevenson, of Raymond,
left Monday to attend the summer nor
mal school at Carrollton.
Miss Ettilu Stevenson has returned
to her home near Raymond, after spend
ing a week with her sister in Atlanta.
Mr. Irwin Winslett was in Newnan
one day this week on business for the
Farmers’ Supply Co.
Plans are being laid for a big affair
to be held at Raymond on the Fourth of
July.

Misses Margaret and Annie Laurie

of Miss J.ucile Moore.

Two important questions will inevitably
come before the body. One of these
is the lease of the Western and At
lantic railroad. This matter can hurdiy
be deferred longer. A commission,
headed by the Governor and armed
with full authority, would seem to le
the best way to dispose of this matter.
The question of prohibition will be
brought forward by the temperance
people. One thing is clearly in evi
dence to those who are willing to see
the truth: The people want and will
have effective and stringent laws for
bidding the sale of alcoholic drinks in
this Slate. If the will of the major
ity is to find expression in the action of
the Legislature,
this week.
Messrs. Elwyn Vance and Carl Roh
insiin, of Newnan. visited relatives and
friends here Sunday and attended the 1
singing at Ebem z-r.
Little Lucile Vineyard is on the sick
list this week.

largely attended. A number of fine
singers were ptest-nt.

WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott’s Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Try it.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as thev cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless
the intlammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an In
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
