It may seem strange to judge people bv the public highways, but from time
immemorial such has been the case. Milledgeville is just beginning to emerge
from its place of stagnation and the era of progress is here, There is no do-bt
but permanent improvement will be made on some of the streets and after the
work is once started the citizens will never rest until the whole city is beautified
with elegant streets and driveways. The grass is beginning to grow groen along
the highways, the lawns are showing.lhe approach of the spring time and with
good streets and the goo 1 roads that Baldwin county now possesses there is no
naiou why Milledgeville and this section not rank right up to the front in tnis
respect.
Mayor Bell, a majority of the councilmen, and the people, are in favor of
permanent improvement if it is possible to do it within the bounds of reason,
and it is easily possible. Let the work of paving the streets with such material
as is available once get under way and the rest will be easy. Milledgeville will
not stop at this, for better sidewalks will be laid and then property will increase
in value rapidly until everybody everywhere in the city will be ready to co-op
erate In the work.

There are lots of people in Milledgeville—as in all other towns—who send
away much money to get something which can purchased at home much cheaper.
This is a free country an*l every man is privileged to do his own sweet will, but
everybody interested in material progress, who Is willing to work for the up
building of his community, will readily aid any movement tending toward* the
ends epumcrated. There are circumstances surrounding [certain actions on the
parlof’ individuals which excuses them from entioism nr Censure, but taken as
as wfiole when it comes to trading at home no one is exempt from dyty.
Milledgeville is a growing city, a live place, it needs live citizens, live
methods on the part of the people. Herein this city may be found some un
paralleled opportunities for doing your trading. Merchants here offer good in
ducements, they give you one hundred cents for overv dollar and they are will
ing to back \ip their work with personal guarantee. And they are men of un
impeachable intcrlty and butiness men whom every patriotic citizen of Mitledgo-
vllic should support.
Sending money away from home has many undesirable features about it,
while keeping it at home has many desirable. There would be some excuse for
it if the goodk‘desired could not be found here, out when therejare such excellent
stores hero,'such a splendid lot of goods, it is quite certain tfcdt nearly everybody
can supply their wants in Milledgeville and should it be found impossible to get
them nearly all merchants will take pleasure in getting them for a customer
and such an action insures(safety to the purchaser and at the same lime gives
added prestige to the merchant’s business.
Of course, we advise you lit all times to trade with our advertisers. It is a
part of our business to push their business along. There may he others just as
good, but we know tho men who advertise in The News. They are splendid,
substantial, business men, aclling goods that will stand the test of publicity and
it will piv everybody to trade with them. We want to make The News bene-
to Milledgeville, to Baldwin county to its businessmen, and to the public gener
ally and this is tho excuse for tho foregoing. Consider it und act on the sugges
tions.
Stevens Thinks the

W. W. Stevens, one of the best
known peach men in the state, was a
visitor in Milledgeville Thursday and
stated that growers were very appre-
henaiye on account of the continued
warm weather. In some instances
peach bud* are beginning to swell and
indications point to blooming unless the
tendency is checked soon.
Mr. Stevens has just finished work in
his orchard and states that he expects
great things from the Georgia peach
growers exchange this season and is
therefore particularly anxious to see a
good crop.
He attended the Taft banquet in Au
gusta Wednesday night and stated that
the crowd thoroughly enjoyed the oc
casion, which while formal was full of
congeniality and good fellowship pleas-
aatly expressed.

THE CHURCH AND THE STATE
Since the time when Martin Luther promulgated his famous doctrine which
revolutionized the political and religious world, there has been considerable argu
ment concerning church und state. The scope of the ground covered, the won
derful possibilities surroanding ‘he subject, makes it one of colossal magnitude.
During the recent presidential campaign when William Howard Tatt, now presi
dent-elect of the United States, was a candidate for tho highest office in the
gift of the country, the party leadersjwere wise enough to keep dawn the subject
of religion in reference to the candidate's, particular belief. Since that time the
public have been informed that the matter of religion does not and should not
figure in politics. Tnat is Mr. Roosevelt's statement, echoed by thousands of
others, but it is only the repitition of Martin Luther's idea that church and state
should be separated.
Ordinarily this subject would be a dry one, thoroughly threshed out, but last
Monday morning the Methodist ministers of Atlanta met and discussed the
proposition of ministers interfering in civic matters. There was some discus
sion on the subject, some declaring that they should light openly for law and
order and the enactment of laws which would serve to upbuild Ih® nation.
In Milledgeville quite recently there was some dissension surrounding a
question in which the leading citizens—the good people—and the ministers took
part. Even a few church people declared that the church should stay out of the
controversy and allow tho city council to settle all civic matters.
These three things —the president’s religion, the ministeis’ action and the
local matter—may serve to put some people to Blinking. But the church -not
one, but all o: them-the parties. — republican, democrat and all—are united in
pushing forward such movements as will foster the highest and noblest things
in life and whether it has an especial signifance or not it seems that all forces
are uniting to bring about the day when the lion shall lie down with the lamb
and the sword will be made into a plowshare.

Lameness
in Horses
Much of the chronic lameness in horses is due to neglect.
See that your horse is not allowed to go lame. Keep Sloan's
Liniment on hand and apply at the first signs of stiffness.
It's wonderfully penetrating—goes right to the spot—relieves
the soreness — limbers up the joints and makes the muscles
clastic and pliant.
Sloan's Liniment
will kill a spavin, curb or splint, reduce wind puffs and swol
len joints, and is a sure and speedy remedy for fistula, sweeney,
