The fruit crop in Murray
count) was almost a total fail
, ute this year, but not so with
cotton, corn and other farm
products. Murray has the
finest crops this year that we
have ever seen; and they are
better, it seems on the red
land than on the gray.
The two cent fare railway
rate law went into effect Mon¬
day. Several roads adopted
the two-cent rate; some two
and one half; others two and
three fourths, while others
still retain the % three-cent fare,
and still some reach from
three cents a mile to four and
one fourth.
THE DRUG HABIT.
The enforcement of the re¬
cent drug law passed by the
recent legislature has brought
to light many victims of the
drug habit in the larger cities
of Georgia.
Especially in one instance
already the act has caused the
death of one woman in At-,
lantu, for the reason that the
sudden change from large
doses of some drug to nodose
at,all, and people are asking
Governor Smith to do every¬
thing in his power to allow
the poisonous drugs to he
sold until the^|£Xt legislature
convenes and reconsiders the
suffering and death it wjll un¬
doubtedly cause and repeal
the act that the lives of the
unfortunate habitues may he
saved and save others from
the madhouse.
The enforcement of this
act will drive many of the un¬
fortunates out of the state, for
they must have their daily
supply of narcotic or lite will
become miserable for them
and many of them will die
while numbers of others will
he driven t;> the madhouse.
This act will also prove a
boon to drug dealers in the
border cities of other states
bordering Georgia on all sides,
for they can there secure the
drugs at very little more cost
than before, and smuggle it
to others who are addicted to
it’s use. Therefore some of
the habitues will he arrested
and imprisoned.
While all the above is true
we are heartily in favor of
such an act, for its enforce¬
ment will possibly prevent
others from forming the
lonthesome habit, and in a
lew years there will he none
or very few drug fiends in
Georgia. We feel that the
year 1007 is as good a time to
stop the sale of these drugs as
any other.
DEMOCRATS MAY WANT TO KNOW.
It seems to be the under¬
standing in Washington that
the President isn’t going to
-get his fleet of sixteen battle
jihintt Gups cfnrteri started fnr tor the the Pacific Racihc
coast without first giving an
explanation of his purpose of
sending it there. It
copped out that it i s .he i«
tendon of the Democratic
members to introduce a
, lution . as soon as ,, Congress • is
organized calling for informa-
tion from tiie Department of
the Navy or the President re¬
specting the purpose of the
movement. It is hardly prob¬
able the fleet will start before
Congress convenes.
But if the resolution is in
troduced and passed will it
amount to anything? The
President will probably say
that it is, advisable to keep the
ships in motion and that they
can learn more that may he
of benefit in the future by
going to the Pacific than by
going to any other place. If
such an answer shouid be re¬
turned what objection could
Congress offer to the Pacific
trip?
It is hardly probable that
t’ne“e is any desire to oppose
the sending of the ships to the
Pacific. What those who are
proposing to make the in¬
quiry wish to know, perhaps,
is whether there is a threat in
die movement—whether it is
the purpose to bring home - to
Sqnth American countries and
also to Japan the fact that
this country has a powerful
navy which it will use prompt¬
ly if the occasion to do so
should arise.
. Of course the Meet will visit
some, if not all, of the prin¬
cipal ports of the South
American states. They will
do that for the purpose of
getting coal in some instances
and also to express our good
will. Of course the Depart¬
ment of the State will notify
the governments whose ports
will be visited.
There isn’t much, if any,
probability that the fleet will
be prevented by Congress
from going on the long j Tur¬
ney, hut if it should meet with
disaster of any sort it is pretty
certain that the President
would he subjected td pretty
severe criticism.—Savannah

WORK OF THE LUNGS.
j What Has Happened When an Athlste
Gets “Winded.”
The football match la stopped. “Man
; hurt,” “Take time off”—these are the !
expressions to he heard when a player
is “winded.” But why has he col¬
lapsed? Why is he gasping for air?
A few facts concerning the lungs will
| explain have matters. 200 cubic inches of air In
You
your chest, and you only breathe out
at each expiration about twenty to
thirty of these. Try ns hard as you
cun, you are unable to breath out all
the air. It would be bad for you if you
could, for your lungs are in a kind of
bag. Prick this, and the lungs col¬
lapse.
The footballer has had too much air
knocked out of him. No wonder he
gasps, for the atmosphere is pressing
on his chest at the rate of fifteen
pounds to the square inch. He has
lost some of the air inside which
Should press against the pressure out¬
side.
What about the work of the lungs?
Suppose the word “laundry” Is used
Instead. That is just the idea. The
impure Wood travels to the lungs quite
dark red in color. The reason is that
It contains much carbonic acid gas.
Try breathing through a tube into
some Hjnewater. Notice the clean wa¬
ter becomes milky. This gas is con¬
tinually passing from the blood into
the lungs. j
You have to breathe six or eight
times before the air reaches the bottom |
of the lungs. The first breath only j
gets to your collar stud. The oxygen j
you have inspired meets some carbonic
acid gas, and they change places.
Down the oxygen goes till it meets
the air cells. Imagine a prison ceil
with a transparent door. The blood,
as it were, can see the oxygen. Right
through the skin wall the oxygen
passes. The carbonic acid gas also
passes out into the lungs to be ex¬
pired. j
What is the blood taking away?
Your blood is full of small live bodies j
“-corpuscles—and these will take as i
much oxygen as you can give them, j
The blood is so happy when It obtains j
some of this gas that it changes its
color from dark to light red. Away it
goes round the body and in a minute
or two conies hack to the lungs with
a fresh cargo of impure gas.
In one day you breathe out 15,000
cubic Inches of this impure gas. Weigh j
it, and there are six ounces of solid
carbon. There is enough materia) for
a dozen lead pencils. Put this fact in
another way.
You will breathe out in one year 137
pounds of solid matter, perhaps as j
much as you weigh.
j “Where does it ail go?" you ask.
i What about the trees and shrubs?
! They are principally made of carbon.
j Perhaps a tree contains some parts of
w u at was once man.
j A microscope will show you holes on !
j | times the under of the side day of this a breathed leaf. At out certain j f
j gas
front human beings enters and passes
I into the interior of the leaf.
| tains Now, millions « loaf is of green cblorophyi because it con¬
bodies.
Those take the carbonic acid gas—
eat, if you will, the carbon—and set
the oxygon free to be rebreathed by
man.- I'earsou's Weekly.
A Curious Church.
The most singular church in the
world is probably St. John’s, at Davos ;
I’latis, in Switzerland. Davos Platz is j
over 5,000 feet above sea level and is i
famous as a winter resort for con¬
sumptives on account of Its great pu
I rity of air and protection from high
winds. St John’s church is a very
small building, but nevertheless it has
two Steeples. One of these is much
larger than the other, towering high
above the church and presenting a
most singular appearance, bein’g twist¬
ed after the manner of a corkscrew, j
The steeples contain some fine chimes, j
which in ancient times were used to 1
sound toe alarm when there was a
threatened tuv;- ion of wild animals.
