AFTER SCHOOL, WHAT?
This is the last year of our high
school course. What shall we do when
it is over? Some of us may go to col
lege; others may not. Whatever we
may do or wherever we may go, let us
remain loyal to our school and true to
our classmates. Let us so act that not
only the past, but also the present arid
future deeds of the cIsrh of 1916 shall
be glorious in the history of the New-
nan High School,

SUCCESSFUL FAILURES.
Lives of men, marked as failures by
generations of the past, may be termed
successes by the people of to-day. Thus
it was thnt Edgar Allan Poe, contend
ing against his unfortunate habits, and
at the same time brnvoly striving to
keep the wolf from his door, was con
sidered a disreputable type of humanity
by his fellow-men. Mainly on thiH ac
count he could not obtain good prices
for his works. Rut to-day he is judged
from a different, and a more liberal
point of view, and, in spite of his un
desirable traits, ho is considered one of
the greatest poets the world hus ever
known. His greatness, however, was
rendered possible by his knowledge of
life in its every phase—a lesson taught
him by his own sad failures.
Another illustration may be found in
the case of EdiBon, who, having been
expelled from school on account of his
unruly ways and lack of application to
his Btudics, went to work. In business
he was again a complete failure, and
Boon lost his job. While idling around
the town one dny he rescued a wealthy
man’s son from drowning in the public
reservoir, jfcThe] grateful parent gave
the youth a'place in his telegraph office.
Jlcrc young Edison rapidly found him
self. He began to make improvements
on the crude instruments, and soon to
make inventions of his own, which ho
haB continued, until now I. time is
famous the world over. Would it have
been possible for us, as well ns those
who follow, to reap the benefits of Edi-
Bon’s unprecedented achievements had
he not failed at first in both school and
business? —[Thomas Bradley.

hungry for candy.
— Dancing Master Byram says that

— Why is it that the ninth grade girls

that George McBride cannot keep his
eyes and attention on the graphophone
when ’he ninth grade girls are march
ing in?.
— During a heated argument among
the hoys in chemistry Wee Willie Mc-
Rride for once sat back and said noth
ing. It was a wise thing to do, for if

hsve poured forth on the floor.
—The Constitution of Atlanta offers
pins or badges to pupils of grammar
and high school grades in the public
schools of Georgia who accomplish cer
tain feats—silver badges for high school
pupilB and bronze pins to pupils of
grammar grades. The events for high
school pupils are: 220-yard dash in 28
seconds; running high jump, >1 feet 4
inches; chin pole !> times. Following
are events for grammar pupils: 100-
yard dash in 14 seconds; standing broad
jump, 6 feet 6 inches; chin pole 6 times.
These events are to be held by Dec. 15.
Although it may Beem easy, it is diffi
cult for a boy to excel in all these
events; consequently a pupil who re-
ceivea one of theBe prizeB is usually an
excellent athlete. Only seven pins were
won laHt year by pupils of N. H. S.
The boys are practicing daily, and we
hope that a goodly number will be auc-
cessful this year.
Bear This in Mind.
“1 consider Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy by far the best medicine in the
market for colds and croup," Bays Mrs.

Eye Strain at Picture Shows.
Birmingham Age-Herald.
The Journal of the American Medical
Association, one of the most interest
ing and informative publications issued
in thiH country, offers some timely ad
vice to the patrons of moving picture
theatres. As nearly everybody goes to
see a motion picture occasionally, and
a large part of the population are reg
ular patrons of this class of amuse
ment, the consequent eye strain is apt
to cause serious injury, if the eyes are
not. protected. However, it is impos
sible to be a confirmed "movie fan"
and experience no bad effects if the
proper precaution are not taken.
"The great majority of those who
suffer from eye strain after watching
moving pictures," says The Journal,
“can find much, if not complete relief,
in perfectly fitted glasses. The picture
may not be quite so sharp, but this is
more than compensated for by the in
creased comfort. For those with very
sensitive eyes a colored glass, either
amber, yellowish green or amethyst.,
may be necessary to give complete re
lief. There havo been put on the mar
ket recently several varieties of colored
glass, each of which has some advan
tages, so that some suitable color can
usually be .secured. ”
Referring to theatre lighting _ this
authority Bays; "A subdued light in
the theatre is much less irritating than
when the only light visible comes from
the screen. It is also advisable to
avoid sitting in a place where it is
necessary to look upward, as the addi
tional Btrain becomes very tiresome and
leaves u headache."
For a time there was much discussion
of the evil effects on the eyes follow
ing constant attendance at moving
picture shows, and a great many peo
ple with defective eyes have been un
duly alarmed. It is gratifying to know
that simple precautions will obviate all
discomfort, and will not interfere with
one’senjoymentof motion pictures. The
tilm-makers have not only provided en
tertainment of the most elaborate sort,
but many of the subjects they present
nowadays are highly educative, and of
the class that one who wishes to keep
in touch with the times cannot afford
to miss.
An editor is a millionaire without
money, a Congressman without a job,
a king without a throne. He con
structs without a hummer or saw,
builds a railroad without spikes or rails
ami farms without a plow. He runs a
butcher shop in the journalistic world,
and deals in brains cheap for cash or
credit. He loves those who advertise
with him as he does u brother. The
editor is u teacher, lawyer and a
preacher. He heals the wounds, cares
for the dying, rescues the perishing and
starves himself, when a ham sandwich
would snatch him [from the jaws of
death. _
WORDS FROM HOME.
Statements That May Be Investi
gated. Testimony of Newnan
Citizens.
When a Newnan citizen comes to
the front, telling his friends and neigh
bors of his experience, you can rely on
his sincerity. The statements of peo
pie residing in far away places do not
command your confidence. Home en
dorsement is the kind that backs Doan’s
Kidney Fills. Such testimony is con
vincing. Investigation proves it true
Below is a statement of a Newnan resi
dent. No stronger proof of merit can
be had,
T. C. Cook, 17 Carmichael St., New
nan. says: "A spell of Grippe weak
ened my kidneys and 1 suffered from
a constant ache in the small of my
hack. When I moved or tried to get
up, 1 felt as if my back was breaking
in two. 1 could not bend, I was so
sore and lame. My sight became
blurred and objects floated before my
cyt s. Doan’s Kidney Fills, procured
at John R. Cates Drug Co., cured me
of all signs of kidney trouble."

Cotton Futures Act.
Recently a suit was brought in the
United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York by
members of the New York Cotton Ex
change to test the constitutionality of
the United States cotton futures Act.
The plaintiffs sought to recover from
the Collector of Internal Revenue at
New York a tax imposed by the Act,
which they paid under protest. One of
the contentions was that the United
States cotton futures Act originated
in the Senate, in violation of Article 1,
SectioR 7, Paragraph 1, of the Consti
tution of the United States, which pro
vides that all bills for raising revenue
shall originate in the House of Repre
sentatives. The case was argued be
fore Judge C. M. Hough in the United
States District Court in New York
City on Sept. 16, 191ft. A decision was
rendered on Oct. 1.3, 1915, sustaining
the contention above stated, and hold
ing that the Act is unconstitutional.
Pending the review by the Supreme
Court of the United States of this de
cision, the Treasury Department and
the Department of Agriculture con
sider the Act as in full force Bnd effect,
and will continue the performance of
the duties imposed upon them by ita
provisions. The Department of Agri
culture notes with gratification that the
major portion of the cotton trade has
expressed itself in favor of the Act.
Laughter Aids Digestion.
Laughter is one of the most healthful
exertions; it is of great help to diges
tion. A still more effectual help is a
dose of Chamberlain’s Tablets. If you
should be troubled with indigestion give
them a trial. They only coBt a quarter.

First of all remember, if you will
continue to suffer with Catarrh, it is
your own fault. Catarrh is worse in
Winter because the most common
place precautions against germs and
contaminations are neglected.
We go to stuffy theatres and Inhale
over and over again vitiated and
germ-laden air. We sit in over-heated
rooms, neglect exercise, exclude fresh
air because it's cold, and in a hundred
ways do everything possible to assist
In the ravages of a disease that Is al
ready making tremendous progress to
wards a complete sapping of vitality.
It Is small wonder that Winter brings
additional annoyance to Catarrh suf
ferers. The nostrils, reasonably free in
summer, are easily stopped up by the
inflammation of the tender membrane,
and the phlegm and secretions which
cannot readily flow, aggravate the
Jelicate lining of the throat and poi
son the system. Hawking and spitting
becomes more frequent. In fact, Ca
tarrh is not only a nuisance, danger
and annoyance to the afflicted, but a
continued menace to everybody. Any
one who comes in contact with Ca
tarrhal germs, expectorated or ex
haled in stuffy rooms, poorly venti
lated theatres or cars, may contract
tho disease. They’ll think they have
taken cold, but it Is more likely that
this Insidious waster of strength and
vigor has hastened itself upon them.
They will soon know the Catarrhal
headache, the disagreeable closing of
air passages, they may find it attack
ing the bones of the nose, the tissues
of the ear, resulting In deafness, tho
loss of smell, for no part of a body
is secure from the ravages of Ca
tarrh. Catarrh makes you sick all
over. It is a disease of the blood. It
circulates through the system, and for
this reason sprays, washeB, vapours
and salveB must be failures in curing
it. You can relieve Catarrh thoroughly
and permanently. S. S. S. will cleanse
the blood, relieve unhealthy secre
tions, reduce the membraneous swell
ing. It will literally wash the blood
free from the poison. S. S. S. goes di
rectly to the source of trouble, en
riches, while It cleanses the blood. It
is a wonderful tonic invigorator. Write
us particulars of your case and let our
physicians help you get rid of this
stubborn and dangerous malady. Our
