Out of Death’s Jaws. “When death seemed very near from a severe stomach and liver trouble, that I had suffered with for years,” writes P. Muse, Dur ham, N. C., “Dr. Kings’ New Life Pills saved my life and gave per fect health.” Best pills on earth and only 25c at Holtzelaw’s drug store. The congressional elections come on Tuesday, Nnvember 4th. 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. — *-o-* 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.— The" Commoner. / 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. Try them.

Ship me your Cotton. G. B. WILLINGHAM, Cotton Factor, Macon, Q-eoxgla,. 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. —Madison Advertiser. j The Talley Pine Lumber Com pany of Fort Smith, Ark., has purchased 53,640 acres of good timber laud in Leon and Wakulla counties, Fla. in addition to con ducting a wholesale and retail lumber business in variors states.
