NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN, FRIDAY, DEC. .1 ONE DOLLAR A in Advance. YEAR ‘'The Senior Chronicle." MmiRKPr. mills Mrllrklr: mlitor-in-rhfrf. Mary Atkinnon; PjKJrting edllorH. Arthur Murphey and Snrnh Davie; corresponding editor*, Nina Tomp- kina and Hamilton Arnall. [Editorial.] 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. ♦ ♦ ♦ SOCIETY NOTES. — A very plensunt. affair was the dance given [by MiBs Sallio Kirby on Friday night, 12th inst.

(She requested that we not reveal her age.) — Misses Annie Drake, Johnnie Cald well and Sarah Hall spent the Thanks giving holidays with frundu at Bessie Tift College. — Miss Randall spent Thanksgiving with friends in Laurenhurg, N.

He is wearing red socks with white rings around them. —Mr. Elwyn [Powell received a se vere shock the other night when a young lady slapped him. —Girls, get busy and make the senior boys some candy.

See him for particulars. —Look out, Sarah Hall; recent re ports from Hollins Institute tell us that Dorothy Jones has gained six pounds. — Why is it that the ninth grade girls cannot keep time to the music, and 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 he had opened his mouth peanuts would 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. Albert Blosser, Lima, Ohio. Many others are <.f the same opinion. Obtain able everywhere. 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." Price 50, at all dealers. Don’t sim ply ask for a kidney remedy — get Doan’s K'dney Fills — the same th8t Mr. Cook had. Foster-Milburn Co. Props., Buffalo, N. Y, 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. Ootainable everywhere. A woman’s idea of doing charity work is to get her male acquaintances to furnish the money.

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.
