INTOXICATING DRINKS.
Written For The Home Journal.
I see and hear that people are
trying to vote whiskey out of
Georgia. What a blessing that
would be to those who live there-
It is now circulated that Du-
Written For The Borne Journal.
m
pont G-uerry will be the next Gov
ernor of Georgia, because he is a
prohibitionist.
How many who reflect back to
the trouble this one thing has
caused from the beginning of its
use, to the present time, could go
and cast your vote in a way not to
dispense wtih it? May God influ
ence the voting people to cast
their votes in a way that they can
have a clear conscience toward
God that they did not aid the suf
fering .of humanity.
If we could look in all the homes
that this Demon has entered, how
our hearts would feel torn and
bleeding for them. Who? not so
much for the one than is drinking,
no, but for his family, his mother
and sisters, or his wife and chil
dren, they are the ones that are
suffering. Probably suffering for"
bread to sustain life, they are de
prived of the love and devotion of
a husband or father.
I guess you all read of the wo
man that went in a store in Atlan
ta, to buy her eleven; year old
daughter a pair of shoes,and when
asked what number'she. wore, re
plied, “I do not know, she never
had a pair before.” Why was it
she never had any before? because
her father was a slave to whiskey,
and what he made was spent in
satisfying his thirst for that which
destroys the happiness of so many
homes. Oh! the misery it causes.
What will this country be in a
few years if there is not a _stop
put to the excessive drinking of
intoxicating Liquors.
The young man of to-day* can’t
spend a few hours of enjoyment
at a social entertainment without
a bottle hid in his buggy to drink
at intervals. Whiskey is a good
thing in its place, a-bad thing out
of its place, and it stays out of
its place so much.
If it was voted out of Georgia,
it then would not be out of reach,
but it would be harder to get, and
probably it would eventually die
out.
Sam Jones gives the much need
ed advice, for he was once a slave
to drinking, and knows the sor
row it will bring. He says,“Young
men, beware of the wine glass, for
you know not what it contains.”
When that Demon once enters a
home it is ruined, it is deprived
of happiness and the luxuries it
once posessed.
I hope there will be a change in
the near future for the benefit of
the rising generation.

Allow me to say a few words in
praise of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy. I had a very severe cough and
cold and feared I would get pneu
monia, but after taking the second
dose of this medicine I felt better;
three bottles of it cured my cold and
the pains in my chest disappeared
entirely. I am most respectfully
yours for health, Ralph S. Meyers,

The constant growth of a knowl
edge of English in Mexico is made
evident by the new demand on
the part of Mexican youth for
hooks and periodicals of this lan
guage. One dealer in books and
periodicals in England says that
more than half his customers are
Mexic&ns.

Sister McCarty, wife of Deacon
P.^D. McCarty of near Unadilla,
Ga., fell a sleep on July 22nd,
1901, thus ending a life well spent
in the service of Christ. g
Sister McCarty had been afflict
ed and was an invalid for many
months, but she had a faith that
was strengthening to her spiritual
being, and this enabled her to sub
mit to her trials with patience,
and give her courage to tell of
Him, who was her strength and
comfort, wisely counseling her de
voted husband and loving chil
dren as well as showing forth her
great love for her Savior,and to all
friends and acquaintances.
Resolved, that as we have lost
a faithful and beloved sister, yet
we submit to the will of Him who
doeth all things well.
2nd, That we deeply sympathise
with our brother and his loved
ones in this time of trial, praying
God to comfort and enable them
to look forward to that happy re
union in eternity.
Brd, That these resoultions be
spread upon the church book and
printed,in our couty paper and a
copy be given to the bereaved
family.

The leading nations of. Europe
are recognizing and admitting
more fully every year that they
may learn much of this nation.
“Time’s last offspring and its
best.”
The Journal referred recently
to the visit of a number of rail
road magnates who were traveling
in the United States with the
avowed purpose of studying our
railroad systems and their man
agement, and who declared they
had learned already much that
would be profitable to them. ,
A still more striking concession
to the progressive spirit of this
country comes from the French
government, which is planning to
establish in the United States a
college in which young men from
France may study American bus
iness methods.
The originator and the most
enthusiastic advocate of this enter
prise is M. Bouquet, technical
head of technical instruction in
the French misistry of commerce.
He says: “America now leads
the van in industrial progress.
She is far ahead of England, Ger
many and ourselves in organiza
tion and methods of work. Hith
erto we have been sending, num
bers of engineering students to
Germany, England and Bel
gium.”
. M. Bouquet has become con
vinced that the United States now
offers a better field for the ’ tech
nical instruction of French youth
than England or Belgium,because
here they “will be able to study,
under competent guidance, that
audacity, inventive genius and
the marvelous organization which
have lifted the industrial world of
America above all its European
rivals,” and thus our country is
becoming more and mo re the
center of the world’s practical
thought and industry.
North Carolina may go into the
China matting manufacturing
business before]a great while. It
is stated that the Matting reed —
the reed out of which floor mat
ting is made—has been found
growing in large quanities in the
marshes of the Neuse and Trent
rivers about New Berne. The reed
is identical with that of China,
the stalks being from one-six
teenth to one-eight of an inch in
diameter and three to seven feet
long. It is said to bo a hardy
plant and a rapid grower. The
importation of matting from Chi
na has been as high as 800,000,-
000 pounds in a year. The Balti
more News says the manufacture
of matting is simple and compar
atively inexpensive, very little
skilled labor being necessary.
Astounding’ Discovery
From Coopersville, Mich., comes
word a of wonderful discovery of
a pleasant tasting liquid that
when used before retiring by any
one troubled with a bad cough al
ways ensures a good night’s rest.
“It will soon cure the cough too,”
writes Mrs. S. Himelburger, “for
three generations of our family
have used Dr. King’s New Discov
ery for Consumption and never
found its equal for 'Coughs and
Colds.” It’s an unrivaled life-
saver, when used for desperate lung
diseases. Guaranteed bottles 50c
