Eaton, preaching in the Madison Avenue Baptist church of New York City Sunday on the subject, “Are We Drifting Into War'.'" tnkes tho view that the world was "losing its soul" and is being “purged by pain.” He says — “The real problem for the United States raised by the war is the place which we are to hold among the nations when peace returns. Three facts will largely determine the issue: First We are now, and must remain, a world pow er. Second—As a people we do not want war, either for ourselves or for our neighbors. Third—When peace conies there will be enthroned a world public opinion, and this public opinion, which will be part judgment and part conscience, will determine the influence of each nution over the others. “This war is the greatest blessing that has fallen upon mankind since the German Reformation. The world was losing its soul. Germany, under the blight of militarism, had lost her moral sense, and her culture had become an efficient engine of destruction—a men ace to herself and all the world. Russia lay stupid, sodden and hopeless under iron despotism. France had forgotten God and was smotherinr in the froth of a frivolous and immoral a-stheti cism. Britain, chief among democra cies, had distilled within her veins the poison of class hatred and individual selfishness and was fast sinking into kind of social coma. America, soaked in materialism, prosperous, shallow, restless, dissatisfied, was drifting to ward spiritual anarchy. Everywhere the soul had died out of the bosom of man. “We needed a cross, and God has laid this cross upon the world. We are be ing purged by pain. Suffering, the beautiful mother of greatness, is breed ing the race back to nobility, to unsel fishness, to idealism—to real manhood ‘‘We alone of the great nations stand outside the struggle. And this constitutes at once our danger and our opportunity. While we are not fighting with arms, we are nevertheless in the war, and have been there Bince the first day. If as a people we live up to our history we shall win for ourselves place of leadership among the nations. If, on tho other hand, we temporize and shrink from accepting the burdens of our own greatness, we shall ue d spised by the nations and shall lose our moral leidership, perhaps forever. ‘‘This is where America stands to day, at the parting of the ways. Our makers of opinion see the issue with remarkable clearness. Never has the newspaper press of America risen to such worthy and noble leadership as to day. If the press has already found its soul, shall we not hope that politics, business and religion will catch the larger meaning of the age, and unite to make our beloved nation the real ser vant and friend of mankind? “In view of these great considera tions, what ought America to do? ‘‘First—We must accept our own propositions without reserve. We are for men: for government of, for and by the people; for justice, liberty and hu manity. We must protest clearly, offi cially and firmly against every viola tion of these ideals. And if our protest leads to loss, or even war, we must be ready and prepared to pay the price We cannot profess high principles with out accepting full responsibility for our principles, and we cannot assume re sponsibility without paying the price. ‘‘Second—We must let all the world know that American citizenship is a sa cred thing, and its rights cannot be vio lated by anyone anywhere without a reckoning to the last penny. “We hate war, but we would rather perish fighting for right than rot in shameful and cowardly ease. God is calling to us to lead mankind out of its failure and ruin into peace and pro gress. But if mankind loses its confi dence in us and its respect for us, we can neither lead nor serve.” Our Jitney Offer—This and 5c Don't Miss This.

J. F. Lee Drug Co. The South is Optimistic. l'liilnrielphiu Ledger. For the first time since the outbreak of the European win- the South is opti mistic. It is genuine optimism, horn of really improved conditions, and not a manufactured optimism which is mov ing the South. The reason for this is not hard to find. This time last year, when the South had looked forward to u big fall season with a good price for ewtton, cotton was down lo tij cents. Exchanges were closed. Everybody was in debt, and with no prospects of getting mon ey to pay out. The cotton, which in many instances was mortgaged for these debts, had been expensively ruised, which both increased the debt and reduced the margin of profit in tho sale. To-day cot ton is selling around 1:1 cents and on an ascending market. This is one cause for optimism, hut a far greater cause is the fact that this year’s cotton crop was the most eco nomically raised of any crop the South has produced in a decade. Cotton selling at 10 cents this year meuns more net profit to the cotton- grower than last year’s crop would have meant selling at 15 cents. That is just how economically this year’s crop has been raised. This was due both to the farmer’s plan to practice economy, and the fact thnt he did not have the money to act otherwise. This condition of tho farmer in relation to his cotton crop, together with tho prospect of plenty of money to hold or move it, has placed tpe South’s staple upon a firm foundation. For the purpose of financing the crop not only are the reserve banks co-oper ating, but private banking institutions throughout the South have made ar rangements to lend millions on cotton, independently of the reserve hanks. These two financing factors, together with the offer of tho Secretary of the Treasury to place $30,000,000 in the South for cotton, furnish all the finan cial machinery the South could wish. In addition t» this, the cotton crop this year is -1,000,000 bales short, which insures that prices will hold up or go higher. These conditions warrant the South in looking forward to the pros perous cotton year it would have en joyed Igst year if there had been no war. The South is in tremendously hotter shape this year in the matter of food stuffs than it has ever been. Diversi fication of crops has been conducted to such an extent this year in Dixie that practically all of the food needed for the year will be found right at home. This wilt keep millions of dollars in the South which in years past have gono elsewhere for these things. In addition to these conditions, gen eral business is already making splen did gains. Bank clearings in many Southern cities are picking up rapidly. Merchants in all parts of the South re port that collections are improving. Taking the outlook by and large, the South finds no reason to complain. For Indigestion. Never take pepsin and preparations containing pepsin or other digestive ferments for indigestion, as the more you take the more you will have to take. What is needed is a tonic like Chamberlain’s Tablets, that will enable tho stomach to perform its functions naturally. Obtainable everywhere. They were having a wonderful time. Every light in the house was lit. (also some of the gue ta.) The dancers swayed to and fro, some treading with light, fantastic toe —others treading with a heavy weight on toes. (Ah, me!) The happy, care free throng was laughing, whispering noiseless nothings into each other’s ears, tickling them. Chattering groups were scattered here and there. Little recked they of the dreadful fate awaiting them; of the harrowing moments which they had to endure in fortified silence. Suddenly, above the reckless clatter, rose the frenzied shriek of a woman. The noise ceased and the crowd rushed to the doors in a mad effort to escape from the room. Gowns were rent to shreds—hair disheveled—jewels loBt— everything was wild confusion. All—because a fair young maid had volunteered to recite ; ‘Curfew Shall Not Ring To-night.” Habitual drunkards in Portland, Ore., are now being sentenced to remain in jail until Oregon goes dry on January 1, 1916. When Baby Has the Croup. When a mother is awakened from sound sleep to find her child who has gone to bed apparently in the best of health struggling for breath, she is naturally alarmed. Yet if she can keep her presence of mind and give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy every ten minutes until vomiting is produced, quick relief will follow and the child will drop to sleep, to ..waken in the morning as well as ever. This remedy has been in use for many years, with uniform success. Obtainable every where. “Home, Sweet Horae,” Written in Murray County. Murray County Moa'ionger. The author of one of the dearest songs we have,—“Home, Sweet Home,” was born in the city of New York. His parents were Bohemians. At the age of IS he made Ins ap pearance at the Park Theatre in New York. During his stage life he played in England and Ireland. Although l’ayne wrote many plays, none of them was as famous us the song, "Home, Sweet Home.” In 1M2 l’ayne was appointed U. S. consul to Tunis. After this we know very little about his life. He returned to America after the expiration of his term in Tunis, and while traveling in Georgia he met Miss Mary Harden, of Athens, with whom he fell deeply in love. But the world will never know the reason why the romance failed to end happily. It. is _ more than likely that, as he did not have a home of his own, he would never make a home for another. During his stay in Georgia ho visited Spring Place, in Murray county, and while there he got on a drunken spree and was arrested. While he was in jail awaiting trial ho composed the heart-rending song, “Home, Sweet Home.” When tho officer came for Payne he made him march around the square and up before tho trial officer. As he was marching he sung his song, and so effectively that he was released from prison and further trial. Payne afterwards told the people that as he lay awake during the night before the trial and thought of his past life he said, “Home, Sweet Home,” and it kept running through his mind until he composed the song. He got up and asked for a candle, and wrote it off on paper borrowed from the jailer. After he was released he sent the original copy, interlined with endearing expressions, to his “lady love.” It seems that after this he again re turned to Europe to wander through life—ever thinking of his loved one, but unable to be with tier. He re mained poor. One day un American was on the streets of London and met l’ayne. During the conversation ho said: “I have walked the streets of European cities where tho stately palaces rear their cold fronts against the heurts of the poor, and 1 have heard within their walls the song ‘Home, Sweet Home,’ when I didn't have a cent of money in the world, nor a shelter for the night.” After this we know nothing further of his life until wo learn of his death in Tunis. In 18811 Payne’s remains were ex humed at Tunis and brought to thiB country for interment. Is it not possible that there is anoth er R. E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson or a N. B. Forrest somewhere in the South that we could persuade to go over to Eurqpe and direct those scared allied armies and draw them out of those lousy, dirty trenches on the western lines? Something has to be done. This war is not progressing to suit our no tions of propriety. Tho Germans say they "can,” and they do it. The En glish and French say they "can’t,” and they don’t try. Vaudeville and polo in terest them more than kicking those energetic, self-confident Gormans out of France. Help the English and French to find a general. Maybe Aus tralia, New Zealand or Canada can find one. Help us to find him. This thing is unbearable. — Macon Telegraph. "Just the Thing.’’ A tailor’s work is sedentary. That is why most tailors suffer from constipa tion. G. W. Roberson. Wichita Fails, Tex., Bays: “I find Foley's Cathartic Tablets the most delightful, cleansing cathartic I have ever taken. They are just the thing.” They keep the stom ach sweet and liver active, drive away headache, dullness, tired feeling, bil iousness. bloat and other results of clogged bowels. Prompt and effective, without gripe or pain. Stout people praise them for the light, free feeling they give. J. F. Lee Drug Co. Sometimes the haBty word has been spoken, the sharp, snappish word been carelessly uttered in the home circle. The true wife’s heart so often bleeds at the bitter, thoughtless, but cutting word of a husband. When she is gone to heaven, and he "weeps o’er her bier,” he will remember it. How Two Coweta Negro Women Have Answered the Question. In the last number of the New York Independent tho wife of Hooker Wash ington ruiseR and seeks to answer the question, “Are colored women making good?” She writes intelligently and interestingly uhout the natter, and modestly ns well, with no disposition to dogmatize or abuse anybody for what ever failures there may he in the home life and the social and moral life of the negro women of the South. Instead of finding fault with the Southern people for their treatment of tho negro—a favorite way of handling the question on the part, of many who are not really trying to help the negro—she tells what the negro women themselves are trying to do to better themselves and their homes. She tells how the negro women of Alabama, out of their eager mennH, raised $2,000 a year to maintain a reformatory for negro hoys, and how they kept this up until the State took the institution over. She sees clearly, what every other friend of the negro sees, that the beginning of better things for the race must bo in the home life of the negro. If to he the mother of large families is making good—and that used to be supposed to bo true by such scriptural women ns Sarah and her desc ndanf.s— then two negro women of Coweta have given a most satisfactory nnswer to the question rnised by the wife of Booker Washington. The wife of Geo. Ferro- by, colored, is the mother of twenty children, and the wife of Geo, Bras- weU is the mother of twenty-three. These women live within half a mile of each other, near Bethlehem church. Pass their records on to Col. Roose velt. Chronic Constipation. "About t wo years ago when I began using Chamberlain’s Tablets I. had been suffering for some time with stomach trouble and chronic constipation. My condition improved rapidly through the use of these tablets. Since taking four or live bottles of them my health has been fine.” writes Mm. John Newton, Irving, N. Y. <Ibtninable everywhere. Courtesies are indications of refine ment, and cost nothing. They help to make the wheels of life move more smoothly. It is not an elaborate at tempt. at politeness that true gentility consists;—it is the simple expression of a genuine feeling for the welfare of others. Our company politeness is gen erally superficial, because we are little or noLhing t,o those we try to be polite to; but if we are interested in those at home and are anxious to make their lives pleasanter, we will endeavor to give expression to that interest, and in doing chat we will he doing a really po lite thing, for such things cannot be expressed in an impolite way. The cul tivation of this expression will be the best possible education in true polite ness. The kitchen in a house may represent an engine room in a steamship, and the cook may represent the engineer. How ever beautifully furnished the rest of the ship Ih, if the engineer is incapable, or the engine is broken, all will go wrong. So it is with the home; no mat ter how nice the parlors are furnished, if the cook is not competent, everyone connected with the homo will have to suffer the consequences. NEW NAN’S REPLY Newnan Accepts the Evidence and Many Newnan Readers Will Profit by it. Which is tho more weighty proof— a few words from a Newnan resident, whom we know and respect, or vol umes from strangers in distant towns? There can be only one reply. Mrs. W. II. Sewell, Spence Ave., Newnan, says: “I suffered so from my back that I could not get up when I was down. I was always in misery and was so sore and lame that I could not do any work. I got up in the morn ing feeling more tired than the night before. Headaches nearly drove me mad and the kidney secretions caused rne much annoyance. I used Doan’s Kidney Fills, procured from J. F. Lee Urug Co., and they relieved the pains in iny buck and put my kidneys in good order. When I have any signs of kid ney trouble now, I always use Doan’s Kidney Pills, and they relieve me.” Price 50e., at all dealers. Don’t Bimply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Sewell had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffulo, N. Y.
