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. But lators 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. June 9th. LONGSTREET. Misses Margaret and Annie Laurie Crain, of Newnan, were recent guests of Miss J.ucile Moore. The party given Saturday night by Miss Moore in honor of Misses Annie Laurie and Margaret Crain, of New nan, was very much enjoyed by our proposed young people. i Misses Kathleen and Estelle Hughie, most of the attention of legis-' of College Park, are the attractive in those ante-session days is guests of Miss Mittie Lou Vineyard given to the choice of presiding officers. Several are in the fi-dd for these places, i 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. The singing at Ebenezer Sunday was largely attended. A number of fine singers were ptest-nt. June 9th.

M, 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.

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.
