It seems strange therefore that such should be tolerated when it is some one from some other section. There are many travesties practiced in the name of justice and law, many frauds practiced in the name of sincerity, and in fact many doubtful features attached to everything there is in life, but the most rep rehensible of all is the deception in the name of religion. With the passage of time there is no doubt but that folk here will learn bet ter than to allow themselves to be stirred by sentimentality, or for the simple reason that the appeal is made a good cause. When fraud and deseption and misuse of a good thing comes before the public in its true light the people— those who cannot be fooled all the time —will get right on the question and the other kind —those who can be fooled all the time are such a miserable few, the petty, and arch grufters alike, will conclude there's no use in pursuing their work in this section. Thai Atlanta Spirit. There is hardly] anything under the sun nowadays that Atlanta is not con nected with. If Atlanta fulls to get r there first it comes in second with somethin.; better than the first. The Savannah automobile race stirred up the Gate City and it iB quite probable that it will now have a great race of its own sometime in the near future. But the Intest out is the proposed musicial festival. Augusta, also in Georgia, has planned a great festival of this eh iri oter for next April and At lanta proposes to follow it up by one better. Arrangements have about been concluded by which Enrico Caruso, greatest of all artists, will be the star, assisted by half a dozen others almost -equally as great. Atlanta deserves the best there is in everything, for Atlanta people do noth ing by the halfway measure. And in the matter of the musical festival may there be no exceptions to the general rule there. The difference between the stupid ox and the man is the gray matter in their patea. It is the difference between brains and Drains.

With nothing now except scarce headlines the Atlanta Georgian Tues day carried a front page article of the Geo. H. Bell case, which has caused so much discussion in Milledgeville. The public is awaiting developments. Ths green clover is covering the scarred places of earth around Milledge ville and the perfume of blossoms of spring time is making the air fragrant. jkI this in the winter time. THE PITABLE PLIGHT OF INTERAL REVENUE. # News from Washington is to the effect ‘hat the revenues directly and in directly attributable to the decrease in southern liquor traffic is causing thegov- ernment’s receipts to fall behind something like half a million dollars daily Just think about what that means! True enough, it puts Uncle Sam in a pret ty poor financial condition, but imagine how many beautiful southern homes can be made more beautiful with this money. How many necessaries of life can be supplied where want has slalken abroad heretofore. And besides the revenue receipts there must be counted the profits of the dealers, which amourts to many times as much us the revenuo. Still further along must be counted the actual cost, which ag.iin swells the total. What a itupenduous a nount when it is all figured in full. It must mean something akin to $360.000,OnO a year, or at least half as much as the entire cotton crop of the south. But where is the man, especially tn southern man, who is inclined to bring back the traffic just to fill the coffers of Uncle Sam? Fora long number of years politicians of the south have claimed that the northern politicians have been receiving all the bounties, or spoils, of the government, but there is a greet consolation afforded in the statement given and that is the south is appropriating to its own use millions and millions of doi lurs that it once contributed to the support of the government. So here's to prohibition and decreased revenue receipts. May it continue for ever, so long as it contributes to better homes in the south, the supplying of necessaries of life and general peace, prosperity and happiness. a BACK TO THE LAND! ♦ > THE CACKLING OF THE ♦ ♦ HEN ♦ <> « > There'3 music In the warble 4 » Of the song bird's merry trill, ♦ > When lovely spring comes smll ♦ > Ing, ♦ ♦ Freeing every little rill; • > There's music in the humming ♦ > Of the bees In flowery glen, ♦ > But tweeter Is 'he music ♦ ♦ Of the cackling of the hen. ♦ > ♦ V Whin the crops are coming thin ♦ > And the glide man's tired and ♦ V blue, ♦ > (For his pocketbook Is empty, ♦ > Anil the taxes almost due), ♦ > When he knows the golden ♦ > eagle ♦ ♦ Cannot be obtained from men, ♦ ♦ Then his heart leaps up with ♦ ♦ gladness ♦ ♦ At the cackling of the hen. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ When the dreaded vampire ♦ 4> mortgage, ♦ ♦ Orowtng bigger, day by day, ♦ ♦ Casts Its darkening shadow o'er ♦ ♦ him, , ♦ ♦ Anil he knows not how to ♦ ♦ pay; ♦ 4 When sugar's getting dearer ♦ ♦ And tho cows are falling. ♦ 4 then ♦ ♦ Thnre’B nothing like the music ♦ ♦ Of tho caekling of the hen. ♦ •- ♦ ww.

C, “SNOWDRIFT USED UN TAFT POSSUM Famous Hlsh Served To the Presi dent Elect Hade Great Hit. The secret of the sweetness to the Taft 'missum is out. It was praised with “Snowdrift” —"Hogles Lard.” Frjm one end of the country to the other there has been written the story of the famous banquet given to presi dent elect William H. Taft, in Atlanta, Ga., on January 15. when the price de- resiatance of a sumptuous ntanui was “,Possum and ’Taters” served with persimmon beer. That it was enjoyed evory correspondent attending the dinn er wired his paper before the taste had left his mouth and the President-elect gave expression to his pleasure at the juicy dish prepared for him, bv making even broader the famous Taft smile, after he had partakes heartily of this characteristically Southern dish. This much is known to all; bat the secret of the sweetness has just been learfted from Caterer Chas. A. Merritt, former ly at Harvey's restaurant in Washing ton, and manager of the Tivoli Hotel (Govt.) Aaron, l’anama, who superin tended and ssrved the Taft dinner, pre paring with his own hands the 'possum that was served the guest. It was “Snowdrift.” the parent shortening in the world,made fromjeotton seed oil and free from anv and all odors. Chemists have pronounced it the richest and most digestible oil in the world; epicures have pronounced it leiictoas, and chefs have pronounced it p -rfect. It was the rano blending of the delicious taste of 'possum meat combined with the palat able sweetness of the cotton seed oil which made the (fish perfect. I have noticed that intellectual giants are financial pigmies. The man whose head is in the clouds is too far removed to have his hands in the dirt. Don't be a consummate slave. Quit doing like somebody else. Do just like you feel you ought to do. Be free—be a king in your own realm. The weather bureau has been predict ing so many cold waves recently until every time a Milledgeville man per spires he wipes the sweat drops from his brow with ius naked hand to see if they are ice could. Don’t worry! Failure to take that advice has caused many a smooth path to become a way beset with thorns. Re greats brings back no yesterdays and tomorrow may never come. Generally speaking everybody has strength enough to stand the strain of the present. It is only the time gone by and the days to come that concerns most folk. These areproblematieal enigmas theoretically infused into life to prevent earthly existence from becoming a paradise There is nothing stable about them and if an attempt wai made to construct anything upon a basis equally as un certain everybody would look with disdain on the movement. Don't worry! It causes age to come too soon. It takes away the prestige of glory from the gray hair that adorns the head grown hoary in the three score and ten years usual ly allotted to man, even when spent in valiant service for country, for humanity and for God. Don’t worry. It indelibly stamps a wrinkle on the youthful brow as well as on the forehead of the people grown hard-hearted by [contact with the world. It tikes away the smile that lights the pathway of mankind and de tracts from the glory of the divine hope that lies smo ilder- ing in the worst of humanity, or dulls the brilliancy of the most Christian-like and charitably inclined. Please don’t worry, for it brings a frown for a greeting to the dearest there is on earth for men. It causes a heart ache where love should reign and makes many a man fail in the work which he lias mapped out for life. It is the bane which has curtailed perfect happiness and caused tiie imprint of discouragement to bo protrayed on an erst while smiling countenance that all along has needed help. Don’^ worry! It does not add one iota to the world’s happiness and does not bring one moment of joy to the world in common, but instead it brings sorrow to tho multitudes and a pitiful pain to the individual. J.
