JOHN H. HOUSES, Propr, DEVOTED TO HOME INTERESTS. PROGRESS AND CULTURE. S1.SO a Year In Advance. VOL. xxxr. PERRY, HOUSTON COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1902, NO. H The Plight of Riches. Atlanta Constitution. Social .philosophers claim a great advantage for the United States in its system of society and laws that works against entails of property and the creation of a permanent moneyed class in this nation. A moneyed class we will -always have, of course, and its numbers will in crease with the boundless develop ment of our resources and the su premacy of our industries of pro duction. But the peroonnel of the class will always be shifting and thus prevent that continuity and co hesion of personal and family influ ence that are rlecessary to the build ing up and permanency of a definite aristocracy of wealth. The good Book tells us truly that •‘riches take to themselves wings" unexpectedly, and the axiom pre vails in this country modified into the vernacular form that “it is but three generations from shirt-sleeves to shirt-sleeves”—from the man who begins a fortune with pick and shov el to the grandchild who finds him self compelled to once more resort for a living to the shovel and the hoe. As Mr. Dooley truly remarks: “That's what keeps th’ money movin' around. What comes in at th’ ticker goes out at th’ wine agent. F’river an’ iver people have been gettin’ rich, goin’ down to some kind iv a Newport, makin’ monkeys iv themselves an’ goin’ back to th’ jungle.” A few days ago Senator Clark, the Montana multi-millionaire, went in to a Butte barber shop for a hair cut and a shave. When he asked the price, at the end of the service, the barber replied: “Your son Char ley usually gives me five dollars.” The senator quietly asked the regu lar fee and, when told it was fifty cents, handed out a half-dollar and went his way with the remark to the barber: “My son Charley has a rich father and I have notl” The remark of the senator tells the whole story of the thrift ot the father and the prodigality of the children in the vast majority of American instances. The American fortunes that have survived and in creased through three generations may be counted on the fingers of one hand. The prospects that very many of those now in existence will last longer are not flattering. The familes that own them have too many “Charley hoys” to pay the barber five-dollar notes for hair cuts and to throw money at the birds— the birds that twitter and trill in the tenderloin paradises. It is perhaps one of the compen sations of civilization that wealth and work ride the see-saw in this alternating fashion. It keeps the ambition of the masses stirred to emulation and at the same time prevents the leprosy of idle luxury to get a firm grip on the social body of the nation, The rich we will have with us always as well as the poor, and we can safely trust to the providence in nature that elects the survival of the . fittest to prevent stagnation at either end of the line. Need More Help. Often the over taxed organs of digestion cry out for help by Dyspecpsia’s pains, Nausea, Diz ziness, Headaches, liver com plaints, bowel disorders. Such troubles call for prompt use of Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They are gentle, thorough and guaran teed to cure. 25c at Holtzclaw’s drugstore.

Those who have given the subject careful consideration are of the opin ion that the new fertilizer law which goes into effect on August 1, next, will give farmers all the protection they need against fraudulent fertil izers. For years there has been complaint in this state, and doubt less in other states, that there were fertilizers Bold which were of no benefit to the purchasers. How much foundation there has been for this complaint it is of course impos sible to say. Doubtless there have been fertilizers sold which were of little acoount, but it doesn’t always follow that when there is a poor crop the fertilizer used - in the mak ing of it was worthless. The weath er conditions may have ruined the crop, or disease of some sort may have injured it. Of course the tendenoy is to blame the fertililzer when there is a crop failure, and no doubt there are cases where the blame is properly placed on the fertilizer, but the law in regard to fertilizers is now bo stringent and comprehensive that it is a safe statement that it is seldom that a fertilizer is put upon the mar ket that ifl> of little or no value. Under the new law there is a hea\y penalty attached to the plac ing of a fertilizer on the market which does not come up to the an alysis, and in the event of a crop failure the fertilizer used to make the crop need not be paid for if it can be shown that it does not con tain the materials it is alleged to have and in the required propor tions. It seems therefore that the farm ers, in the matter of fertilizers, have about all the protection against fraudulant fertilizers it is possible to give them. And in the face of the very stringent legislation against fraudulent fertilizers it is doubtful if much practically worthless goods is placed upon the market in this state. It is probable that in the past farmers, to some extent, have been to blame for the injury they have suffered in the matter of fertil izers. Some have demanded a cheap grade of goods and they got it. The situation has now been changed for the better. In future the farmers will have less reason for complaint. If they will comply with the law strictly they will find that it will give them all the protection they need against worthless fertilizers.

Summer School of the South. Macon News, July 23rd. President P. D, Yollock, of Mer cer University, who has just return ed from the Summer School of the South,' which is now in session at Knoxville, made the,following state ment: The number registered in the Summer School of the South this morning—Railroad reports show that 2,300 persons have bought Summer School tickets to Knox ville. There are over 600 persons in attendance from Knox county. The total enrollment will certainly exceed 2,000. There are t\yo full weeks yet. Dr. G. Stanley Hall, the distin guished philosopher, said to-day in answer to the question as to what he thought of the Summer School of the South: “It is the biggest one in the world. In numbers and interest it has never been surpassed. From what observation I have been able to give the class work, the charac ter of the work being done is of the best. I think that the greatest im pression made upon me, next to the number, is the social quality of the students. You have the advantage over us in the north by far, in the high character, socially, of the la dies, especially, who are the teach ers in the schools. Most of our teachers are from the lower walks of life, while yours are from the best. This means more than you can probably appreciate. This school is sure to have a tremendous influ ence upon southern civilization.” Still Unsubdued. Mother—I suppose your father doesn’t mean to do it, but he tries my patience very hard at times.
