for years,” writes P. Muse, Dur

Pills saved my life and gave per
fect health.” Best pills on earth
and only 25c at Holtzelaw’s drug

Augusta Herald.
Frequently it is remarked that
if such aud such a youth or a cer
tain girl makes as good a man as
his father or as good a weman as
her ^mother nothing else can be
desired.
But is not something else de
sirable? No matter how good,
how pure, how superior mentally,
morally and physically the pres
ent generation may be, is not the
betterment of the race dependent
upon the next generation being
even more perfect in every par
ticular? Progress is the watch
word of the century, and no man
should be content with the old
ideals, old beliefs, old concep
tions of wright and wrong cher*
ished by men of a century gone
when he has better things to take
their place. He may, indeed
should, respect the sincerity of
men and women who held certain
views he himself has outgrown,
but he should not merely for -the
sake of the sentiment try to .con
tent himself with that which be
longed to a life made, by force of
circumstances, far narrower than
that which offers wider and wider
opportuninies every day to the as
piring youth of the twentieth cen
tury, opportunities whioh had'no
place in all “the thoughts which
our fathers did think”.
Sentiment is a beautiful thing,
and respect for one’s elders is still
more beutiful; but to be satisfied
to be only as good as any one
man or woman is not a desirable
thing, for in that direction lies
paralysis of effort.
A Quality of the Popular Girl.
A girlfmay not be at all musical
or well read or clever in any way,
but she may become popular sim
ply by being trustworthy, by lis
tening sympathetically to people’s
confidences and keeping them sa
credly locked in her own keeping.
Most people, especially young
men, like to have some sympa
thising friend that they can come
to when they feel discouraged or
elated to unburden tbeir trials or
their plans. All the girl has to
do is to listen, perhaps to say
some words of help or encourage
ment, but above all she must uev-
repeat what has been told. A
girl may be plain in feature and
uugifted wih talent, but if she be
comes known as perfectly trust
worthy and discreet she will gen-
aerlly be preferred to her more in-
tertaining, pretty but less reliable
sister.—The American Queen.

It is reported that the pres
ident and his senatorial advisors
have agreed that there shall be no
tariff revision at present. They
are afraid to begin revision, for
fear they cannot find a stopping
place, but they must remember
that a failure to amputate a dis
eased limb has often resulted in
the death of the whoie body.—

/ His Life In Peril.
“I just seemed to have gone all
to pieces,” writes Alfred Bee, of
Welfare, Tex., billiousness and a
lame back had made life a bur
den. I couldn’t eat or sleep and
felt almost too worn out to work
when I began to use Electric Bit
ters, but they worked wonders.
Now I sleep like a top, can eat
anything, have gained in strength
and enjoy hard work.” They
give vigorus health and new life
to weak, sickly, run-down people.

Roosevelt in 1904.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
The aotion of the republican
9tate convention of Massachusetss
yesterday swells the number of
states that have virtually pledged
themselves in favor of President
Roosvelt’s renomination in 1904
to fifteen. The list.with the num
ber of delegates each state will
have in the convention, is as fol
lows: Alcbama 22, Colorado 10,
Connecticut 14, Delaware 6, Iowa
26, Kausas 20, Massachusetts 82,
Minnesota 22, Missouri 86, Mon-
tara 6, New Hampshire 8, New
York 78, Pennsylvania 68. Texas
26, Washington 10. Total 294.
Under the hew congressional ap
portionment the next convention
will contain fifty-eight more del
egates than that of 1900, or 984,
As a majority is necessary for a
nomination, the successful candi
date must receive 492-J votes.
President Roosvelt has at present
pledged to him just two-fifths of
the entire ^convention, or 98^
votes less than a majority.

Creeping Inflictions.
A committee from the Georgia
Bar Association is preparing a
bill to oreate ah appellate court
with five judges as a rest to the
supreme court. Every class is
striving for rest and more pay,
except the farmer. The Jackson.
Argus, whose level headed editor
is generally on the right side, is
opposed to the multiplicity of
courts as incubators of more lit
igation. Every new court is a
suggestion to another, While it
is claimed that there is urgent
need for every seheme that is con
cocted fer legislation and state
appropriation the fact that these
little things have placed a burden
of taxation that is hurtful cannot
be overlooked. The people ought
to fight these creeping inflictions.
