PALE PEOPLE
Zlron is a tonic medicine for pale, weak, nervous people. Its suc
cess in the treatment of conditions of simple anemia and general debility
has been shown in thousands of cases of men, women and children.
Ziron contains no dangerous, habit-forming drugs, it is a safe, mild
tonic, compounded in accordance with modern medical science, by
chemists of high pharmaceutical skill.
The Scientific Iron Tonic_
Many men and women, grateful for the benefits they have obtained,
write about Ziron, hoping their experiences may be helpful to others.
“I was very nervous; had bad headaches, loss of appetite and could not
sleep well at night,” writes Mrs. Laura F. Smith, of Route 1, Springfield,
Tenn. “My husband bought a bottle of Ziron, and I began taking it and
began to pick up. I think it is a very good tonic for run-down people.
My little boy was thin, and looked very pale and delicate. 1 gave him
Ziron, and he mended up and is looking fine.” Sold |by druggists on a

HAS A GIRL GOT A CHANCE?
LaGrango Reporter.
Tho Reporter is’ about to oomo to tho
conslusion that, nfter nil, tho women
have got tho job of saving tho country
from damnation.
There are too ninny mon’ those days
who don’t care whore tho country goOB,
boeauso they are going there. And wo
hope that cryptic statement may bo un
derstood.
It is our humble opinion that the old
time Southern “cunnol,” with nil his
mint julips and peculinr ideas of pef-
Bonnl liberty, oxorcisod higher respect,
for and did more to safeguard public
mornlB and manners than does the aver
age reform fanatic, or so-called “aris
tocrat” of today,
In those dnys civilization wns strength
oned by tho cultivation of public dig
nity and the proprieties.
in tliCBO dnys, it seems , with “bone-
dry” laws and Btrict reform regulations,
the- average limn figures thnt self-
restraint is unnecessary. Ho probably
considers that tlioro are enough laws and
regulations to keep tho world straight
without any personal effort on his part.
But we nro getting away from the-
original proposition.
Tho wonion tinvo got to save thtf
country—and themselves.
Wo moil liavo developed a slicll of
philosophy ill which wo try to hide from 1
responsibility for some of tho ills of'
society. Mention wild fashions; careidss
manners, freedom of personal impulse 1 ,
or anything of the kind with reference
to botli mon and women, and Mr. Aver
age Man will give you a dozen ronsons
wiiy the women are to blame. Tho sci
ence of masculine defense arid tho phi
losophy of man’s irresponsibility and
helplessness have become habits to which
any of us resort unconsciously when the
subject is advanced.
We heard a woman make ri speech in
a convention the other day. It wan a
gem of oratory, Several men had spoken
before, which wsb unfortunate, because
tlie contrast was such a reflection upon
the men. Their speeches were’ pitiful by
comparison. The woman spoke with
greater dignity. Her words breathed of
sincere idenls, and her sentences carried
the thought somewhere.
That gave us an idea. Como to think
about it, mere man is on the decline.
It is not simply that woman is waking
up and taking her place in the affairs
of the world. She has got to do it, judg
ing by tho signs, for man is being dissi
pated. And lie is getting things nil tan
gled up by trying to excuse himself
through false logic, in order to hold on.
Woo is man,! Unless he jumps back
to the higher ground of puro ideals and
human responsibility, ho might as well
step entirely down and out.
This is woman’s chance.
Indeed, woman needs a chance, and
tho world needs for worpan to havo a
chance in redeeming things.
The girls of today need a chance. As
it is, they almost haven’t got it. They
are taught to.be frivolous from infancy
on upward.
“OhI” you say, .“but mothers are
responsible for that. They raise them. ’ ’
Not so. Mothers merely get them
started. It is true not so many mothers
are strong enough to resist modern cus
tom in the dnugliter’s early years, but
when they do resist the effect is de
stroyed by the standards in many schools
and colleges which men construct, and
by the influences of jazz tea-rooms, res
taurants and club ball-rooms which arc
thought to be monuments to tlie genius
of modern man—ail of them with the
single objective of popularity f?nd profit,
with little thought for culture and re
finement.
The girl who comes through these days
into real, noble womanhood, with all of
her good qualities and faculties preserved
and developed for service towards a
CENTENARY OF THE BIRTH OF
. YOUNGEST VICE-PRESIDENT.
I Washington, .inn. 121.—John Cabell
Breckinridge, tlie one hundredth mini-
versnr.v of whoso birth was celebrated
tbdn.v, was tlie youngest limn who ever
lield the office of Vice-President of tlie
United States, Whan lie was elected to
tlmt office on tho ticket with James
Buchanan in 1850 he hud reached only
tlie age at which man becomes eligible
under tlie Constitution of tlie office of
President. And nobody coiistitutloimlly
ineligible to tlie office of President is
eligible to tlmt. of Vice-President
Bo wns tlie ropresentotive of tlie grout
Bibekenridgo family of Virginia mid
Kentucky, tlie spelling of tlie mime hav
ing been changed to Breckinridge. His
grandfather, John Breckcniidgo, wns the
intimate friend in Virginia of Jefferson,
Madison mid Monroe. He served in .tho
United Btntes Sennte, mid inter ns At
torney-General in tlie onblnot of Presi
dent Jefferson.
John Cabell Breckinridge inherited Ids
grmulfntlior’s intense loyalty to tho doc
trine of State Boverolglmty, and when tlie
family was divided at the time of tho
Civil War over tho question of State or
Union, ho was nmong tho foremost lend
ers of tho Confederacy.
Ho wns only 211 yenrs old when tho
Mexican War began, but wns elected
major of a rogimont of Kentucky volun
teers. Ho displayed the sninc romnrknblo
precocity tlmt had distinguished his
grandfather.
After serving in the Kentucky Hottso
of ] Representatives, lie was oloetfld to
Cgpgress at tlie ago of HO, lie wns re
elected, and during his second torln de
clined the offer of the Spanish mission
tendered him by President Pierce.
When .Tames Buchanan whs nomina
ted- for President in 11)08 tho South
wap roprosontod on tho tickot by Breck
inridge, who was tho candidate for Vlo.o-
Pr^sident. During tho political tumult
of Vtho next four yonrs lie wns rognrdod
as tho distinct representative of South
ern intorests, and ns such lie wns nom
inated for President in 1800 by tiio
Southern delegates in tiio Democratic
Convention, who sopnrntod from tlioHO
that supported Stephen A. DouglnB.
Breckinridge received in the Electoral
College 72 votoH to 1.80 for Lincoln, .80
for Bell, and 12 for DougltiH. With tiio
oxcoption of Virgin In, Kentucky, Tonnes-
see and Missouri 1 , nil tlie Southern States
voted for him, in that siimo year ho
was olected to tlie United States Senate.
He defended tiio Confederacy in tiio Son
ata mid was expelled.
Soon afterward ho wont South, enter
ed the Confederate army, and in 1801 wns
appointed a major-general, and placed
in command of tho Confederate Reserves
at Shiloh. Other engagements in which
lie took npnrt were at Murfreesboro,
.Oliickamnugn, Clmttajioogn and Cold
Harbor. j
' jPor several months before tho end
of the conflict lie wbh Secretary of War
in the cabinet of President Jofferson
Davis and wont with tiio President and
other officers of tiio Confederate Gov
ornment to Charlotte, N. C.. When tho
contest wns finally abandoned ho went to
Cuba and from there sailed for Europe,
and did not return to tho United States
until 1888. -
Tho career of Breckinridge hns linil
few parallels in American history. Ho
had been Congressman, Senator, Vice
President and major-general, and yet
when he died, ten yenrs after the close of
tho war, ho was but 54 years old.
greater civilization, is a marvel. Fur
thermore, she is due little gratitude to
man.
No god of mythology, and no warrior
of ancient history, ever started upon a
more dangerous, thrilling adventure than
that upon which the average girl em
barks today when she starts to grow up.
Hardly a week passes but someone
tells the editor of his home paper of
“news” regarding fights, family quar
rels, dissensions in the church, derelic
tions of town officials, or other choice
bits of gossip. We do not consider such
matter as news, but rather scandai-
monging, and The Pilot is not a scandal

THE ATTRACTIVE TOWN.
Economy is a good thing in municipal
affairs, but you can enrry it too far.
Many public officials say thnt beauty
is u luxury nnd it enn’t he afforded.
Yet people who go on that theory in
imndliug their own places arc npt to
boo their rcnl estate advnnco in value
much. It is tho sumo in hoveloplng a
city.
It Ims become n settled policy in
many advancing towns to ,try to por-
Huuiie ovory householder to plnnt shrubs
nnil trees nnil give each homo a restful
setting of follnge. Trees nro planted
when streets nro laid out so thnt when
houses nro built tiio neighborhood seems
honfollko.
Vacant land in tho outskirts is takon
for parks. If tuxoB can’t bo offered
to improve It, community work dnys are
held and the pooplo take hold nnd make
it n Hoeno of beauty. Unused corners
lit street intersections nro nindn into lit
tle nests of greonoryi When buildings
nro tint up, good standards of taBto ate
nonsuited. ,
If a town will carry out such a policy
for a period of yonrs it will acquire a
charm far more attractive than costly
edifices, it would gain a reputation as
a homo of progressive nnd rtjflned peo
ple wlte Jmve traveled onough to know
whnt a fine, modern town looks like.
Almost nnyono would pay a premium
to live in a plnco like tlmt.
“KEEP ADVERTISING.”
. Editor and Publisher, ono of tlie most
widely rend magazines ill the United
States, under the nbovo heading print
ed tho following very excollont editorial:
“Advertising is more than a business
tonic; it is a business necessity. That
iB why it is needed at all times. Of all
advertising, that whic.li carries with it
tho greatest waste is what is known ns
tho 'onco-in-a-while kind.’ ,
‘ 1 Successful advertisers aro tho kind
thnt keep it up persistently. Tlioy are
judged successful becauso of the re
suiting success of their business.
“Up until a few years ngo there was
a certain soap thnt was known around
tho world. It had been the most per
sistontly advertised article offered In
th’o markets of the world during tho
previous hundred years. From tlie day
this soap was first put on the market
in 1812 it was advertised in a small
way, but persistently nnd continuously,
For the last fifty years it Ims been one
pf the best advertised products of the
world. Then tho directors decided tlmt
becauso the factory was selling to ca
pacity, advertising could be discontin
Ucd ns n useless expense. Ill less than
pno year from that time the business of
the firm dropped 35 per cent, in volume.
That soap is again being advertised,
anil we understand it wns necessary to
spend $5,000,000 in extra publicity over
previous appropriations to get back to
normal.
“This firm, wns not a 'flier in adver
tising.’ Its product had been UBcd for
generations and was known in the homes
of the world, but it cost its makers
$5,000,000 to Jcarn that advertising was
as necessary to it ns the raw products
thnt enter into its making. The history
of merchandising iB filled with stories
like this, but only a few have found it
possible to win Imck trade foolishly
thrown away. ’ ’
Will Tolbert, a white man, living near
Sheilman, is dead from tlie effects of
hydrophobia, after horrible suffering for
several days. He was bitten by a pet
dog last summer. The wound wns only
a slight one, and soon healed up and
the. incident forgotten. Thursday lie felt
a peculiar sensation about the hand, and
by Friday the numbness hud extended
into his body and soon he went into vio
lent convulsions. The sight of water
would cause these convulsions to come
on, sometimes lasting several hours, and
the doctors could only give him tempo
rary relief. At times it took the com
bined strength of several strong men to
manage him, and his neighbors felt that
death wns a relief to him.
Aurollus G. Turpin, of OhfoagD, wnj
a fast worker ami stunk to the Job With'
cnmmouitnblo tenacity when lie gave Miss
Virginia Foster 00 kisses in an hour,
Tlioy wore not little canary-bird Imita
tions of a kiss, but woro of tho-moist,
clinging vnrloty. Hottce Miss Foster did
not Imve much timo to hroatho in that
blissful hour. A jury asBcssod tho kisses
nt $58 each and Turpin was ordered to
pay her $3,500 for Ills oscillatory per
formance.
THE ROBT. E. LEE OF TODAY.
M. Ashby JonnB,
It has boon fifty-six years since the
dose of the war, and fifty years since
the dentil of Leo. Tho war clouds have
rollod away, and tlie last rovorbrating
echoes of tho guns died into sllonco.
Tiio wounds of tiio conflict nro’ healed,
tho gulf which separated sections is
closed, nud tho passions nnd prejudices
which produced the fearful conflict are
rapidly fading away, Many of tiio [(rent
actors who walked giant-llko across the
stage of action have passed out of tho
consciousness of our national life. Faces
and figures which In tho hontod imagi
nation of those dnys loomed largo with
significance, in tho sane and sober
thought of now generations nnd new Is
sues have shrunken Into normal propor
tions.
But there ih ono figure silhouetted
against that background of flaming
florcencBB which grows largo nnd more
distinct ns the fires of war subside;
Tliero Is oho fneri which tfrows brighter
ns tho clouds pasB from botweon. Tliero
is ono voice, instinct with the tone of
command, yet mixed with the melody of
lovo, which grows more audiblo ns tho
cannon'b ronr subsides, nnd Is more po
tent in proclaiming the pathway of our
national life today than when it called
men to storm batteries of death, or to
stand Arm against tiio Inflowing tide of
destruction. Robert Edward Leo is
grantor in tho thought of tho world to
day than when ho was laid to rest be
neath tlie academic, shades of his be
loved college. Ho is tho South’s most
sacred sentiment. May he become in
deed and in truth, tiio South’s idoal.
