Hope never dies and treasures as <rrcat, {'olden, and glorious, as those Opliir still shine in the future. The world needs folk who art; looking upward and onward, pushing ahead, opening up ways for other people. Looking back means brooding over what might have been and opportunity may pass at any time. A smile and a blessing hover just beyond the horizon of mortal view for those who will travel with perseverance. This is the age of advancement. There is no such thing as standing still. The old idea of being conservative and staying on the fence, so to speak, is vanishing. The theory about evolution coming in the naturul order of things has been exploded and it is activity now that brings about changes. The people who try to stand still retrograde and lose all chance of doing anything. Standing in such a position too long puts one in an awkward place. It is a hard matter to fight it out after you drag along in the old rut for awhile. Every way you look seems to he backward, because you have traveled over all the ground. That’s a hard old story, hut it’s too true of the toilers in the common ranks of men. But still there’s even a way to climbout of the rut. Look up. Don’t try to look around, hack, forward,or on tho side The view will Uo the same that has greeted your gaze day after day for years. If there happens to he a mirror near by you’ll see you are growing older and that wilFbe all the change. It’s time to look up! There never was a moment,'or rather two moments, when the skies above always appeared tho same. Some new tint of blue, some new star, some new cloud that brings a shower when rain is needed, is always there. It pays to look up and go onward. Looking back brings wrinkled brows and care-worn minds. The other way means health, happiness and hotter time in the days to come. J. C. McA. ON WASTING TIME. THE SCIENTIST tells 11s that in reality TIME does not actually exist. To all practical purposes the “Scientist” lies. Others tell us that time is money. That’s bettor. But got this into your head. Time is a real, genuine thing, a tangible asset that God gives to every man. Time is money. Time is capital. Yesterday is currency. To—day is case in tho pocket. Tomorrow is a saving account to draw on and invest. Time to the young man is gold- To the middle aged man it is silver. To the aged it is still as valuable as a clearing house certificate. When you waste time you waste money. You are thi owing away opportunity just assure as the man who lets good bottom land lie under water because he hasn’t got, the energy to drain it. (Jet busy. Don't grumble because you haven’t inherited a working capital of your own. Beach out and grab the hours and shake the profit out of them. Don’t let a day slip by unrecognized. Collar it. Look it in the face and demand what it has for you. Every day rain or shine, brings you something worth while if you will but ask for it.

Do all things conic to him who waits? Sure—if ho gets up and goes after them. The man who sits down and waits for time to bring him something—generally gets it. And he gets it goixi and hard. Take care of the days and the years will take card of themselves. Put your hours in the savings bank of life and they will draw a certain interest for you. The man who waists his time is no better than the misguided fool squanders his dol lars on liquors or eWrds. Take time by the forelock and put a bridle on it—and ride it to prosperity. And remember that TO-DAY is yours. To-morrow may belong only to others. J. J. C.

TO WASHINGTON IN BEHALF 0; CATTLE , Comulsslonsr Will Al'cmpl to Get Deparimt n: to Con.inuc 1 ar on Tick. ATLANTA,Ga.—ThomasG. Hudson, state commissioner of agriculture, left this afternoon for Washington, D. C., where he goes to beg the federal gov ernment to not stop its war on the bo- ophulua annulate* in Georgia. He car ried along numerous petitions from the citizens of Stephens and Habersham counties, in which it is de clared that unless the war is continued their interests will suffer materially. ' To the tAknowing ones, it might as we'l be stated th it bo-ophulu» annulatus is the scientific term by which the com mon cow ticks is denoted. As a spread er and purveyor of cattle's diseases the above designated specimen of the tick is said to Le pre-eminent. Thousands of dollars have been spent by the national from the land. \ A Negroless Community Ruled by Moonshiners Section of Georgia Which Negroes Shun and Where Mjonshlne Flow'. Albany, Ga.—There is a little strip of territory down in Miller county, not a great distance from the line of Early, that is uniqile, in that it is the only neighborhood in all South Georgia, in which not a single negro, man, woman or child, is to be found. There are many interesting stories told of this neighborhood, which all negroes give a wide berth and concern ing which they speak in awed whispe*». They will ride or walk many miles to detour around it, and will venture to cross its boundary lines neither night nor day. Not long ago a negro, who had come from a considerable distance, was pass ing through Miller county. .His home was many miles away, and he was go ing on foot, as country darkies often do, to visit some relatives sown near the Florida line. During the day he walk ed, and at night he partook of the hos pitality of members of his race who were willing to give him shelter. Warned, But Did Not Heed. When he approached this negroless land and casually remarked to a farm er with whom he st'opped, that his route lay that way, he warned to go in another direction. “If you go the way you’ve started,’’ he was told, “you will never get through alive.’’ But the strange negro didn’t believe the tale that were told him, and he determined not to change his route. Early one morning he passed into the "forbidden land,” and proceeded uninterruptedly for an hour along the big road. But before midday, as he was pass through s me woods, he heard the crack of a rifle several hundred yards away, and a bullet sang through the branches of the tree above his head. Half a minute later the same thing hap- | pened, and a fresh pine bough oropped j down at his feet. Before he had gone j fifty yards further a bullet splintered I a rail of the fence by the roadside in close proxmity to the negro, whose course was rapidly oozing away, and who capitulated unreservedly when a leaden missile from a near by thicket j threw up a handful of dust not six feet | from where he had involuntarily halted. Made a Marathon Sprint. Facing about, he took his hat in one hand and his bundle of clothes in th other and proceeded to “dig” in a man ner that would put Marathon runner to blush. Bullets continued to whiz over his head, but he reached the home where he had received the friendly warning with a whole skin and some j valuable experience. I Such is the experience of every black 1 man who has the hardihood to venture into this strange region. There are stories told of mysterious disappear- | ances of negroes whose bravado was greater than discretion, though no such cases have been reported in the recent I aking Powder Absolutely Pure The only baking made from Royal Grape ig powder Mft 3 Cream of Tartar. § 1 WiRZ MONUMENT MAY YET REMAIN PERMANENTLY IN GA. Savannah, Ga. —Upon the dj3ire of two. possibly three Georgia cities to furnish a site for the monument to Capt. Wirz, for whom it is claimed that he lost his life in the defense of Confeder ate President Jefferson Davis rests the reason for the present fight among the members of the Georgia Division, Uni ted Daughters of the Confederacy, that has been caused by the monument ques tion. At the regular convention of the di vision in Savannah during the last week for Andersonville. where Capt. Wirz’s service in the civil war has placed the center of the discussion his named has caused since the war closed, to Oe se lected for his monument. Savannah delegates led a fight in favor of Rich mond and by a very close vote the old capital of the confederacy was select ed. However, the Georgia cities that had before wanted .he monument kept after it and now a called meeting of the division will take up tha. question of reconsidering its selection, and tha in October, 1903, after the partisan j ra mument may yet remain permanent- fight of cities had made it impossible j ly on Georgia soil.

The residents of this negroless neigh- hood are all farmers, and numerous illicit stills have been found thereabou * by revenue officers during the last few years. In fact, it is said that moon shiners are about as thick in that region as they are anywhere in Georgia. Ducks natch well In Incubators and are easily raised in brooders if thuy are not crowded. If you are a lover of chicken meat. Just try a nice fat capon and you will know why iney bring a better prica than other poultry. Feeding laying hens of the larger breeds liberally is one way to induce them to sit early. The number of eggs a hen may lay before she begins to sit depends a good deal upon her condition when laying. The well fed, fat laying hen will not lay many eggs before she begins to sit, usually. Fattening a laying hen is very apt to cause uer to become broody, at least the tnedency Is that way with larger varieties. However, It would not be wise to feea breeders too heavily. If any one wishes to try this method I would advise separating the ones one wishes for early sitters from the oth er* then try this mode of feeding.— Inland Farmer.
