At that rate many a fairly ardent young lover would possi bly violate the law about $100 worth any favorable evening. But. the proposed law won’t do. It is clearly unconstitutional, it is class legislation, and it is against public policy. The right to pursuit of happiness is guaran teed in the fundamental law. Wouldu’t that right be everlast ingly knocked into a cocked hat if the free privilidge of osculating Vvibli the chosen of one’s heart were denied? Is there any hap piness which surpasses that of the moment when lips meet in “A j long, long kiss—a luss of youth land love?” Whether the immor- : tal framers of our constitution had this contingency in mind they were building the GEORGIA, Houston County.

Address THE HOME JOURNAL, Perry, Ga. THE COMMONER, (Mr. Bryan’s Paper.) The Commoner has attained within six months from date of the first issue a circulation of 100,000 copies, a record probably never equaled in the history of American periodical literature, The unparalleled growth of this paper de monstrates that there is room in the newspaper fields for a national paper de voted to the discussion of political, economic, and social problems. To the columns of the Commoner Mr, Bryan contributes his best efforts ;and his views of political events as they arise from time to time can not fail to interest those who study public questions. The Commoner’s regular subeription price is $1.00 per yecr. We have arrang ed with Mr. Bryan whereby we can fur nish his paper and Home Journal to gether for on& year for $1.90. The reg ular subscription price of the two pa pers when suberibed for separately is $2.50. The proposition is vicious class legislation, in that it says “he” must get tho license to kiss. That throws the onus of thb burden of on one-half of the population, leaving the other half free; and the half that is prohibited is the half 'that the other half wants to be kissed by. The favored half wouldn’t give three straws to exchange kisses with itself. True, it does some thing of the sort in a perfunctory and social way, but that is mere ly by waji of conforming to a cus tom and not becaoise it roally wants to. A foundation stone of our institutions is equally before the law. The bill in question would create a favored class, but the class would consider it a migh ty poor way of being favored. The bill is agaiust public pol icy, because it would incite to vi olations of the law and thus de tract from the respect in which the laws are held. The unlicens ed swain would say “Won’t you permit me to smash the statute, Miss 'Mary?” And Miss Mary would pucker her lips into an en ticing smile, and the statute would be smashed. Aud Miss Mary would thus become an ac cessory to the illegal act. Is it possible that there is more than one legislator in Virginia who would make the youthful chivalry of the state a class of criminals and the beauty thereof an aggre gation of accessories to violations of law? Representative Ware. of Amherst county ought to with draw his bill. The Value of a Mechanic. • ^.T >l iHf b . aa moi ’ a raw mate rial of a diversified character than auy other portion of the globe. Besides, it grows every crop need ed tor the sustenance of miyn or beast. It stands'at the opening doors of the world’s commerce, and can supply at low fates al most every necessity of the human family. There never was such a theatre for intelligent humau en deavor as the, South presents. It is the high duty of the state gov ernments of the South, of its mu nicipalities and of its public- spitited citizens, to provide the meaus to educate that portion of the population that gives the greatest promise of the most fruit ful^ outcome to the country. A trained, educated mechanic is the most powerful factor in the prog ress of nations. Such a man thinks, provides for the unexpect ed, multiplies his forces and dares the world to meet him. South ern boys would make such leaders if educated in industrial schools. —Southern Farm Magazine. T m '""n }y:.- ■‘ v Viy y*- -DlSALi5» IN- WATCHES, CLOCKS AND JEWELRY. OPTICIAN SPECIALTIES.

He said he had no home, no money aud no friends, and that one thing that induced him to attempt to .kill. himself was the certainty that he would be arrested and sent to jail for vagrancy. In short, it was against the law for the pair fellow to live and against the law for him to at tempt to die. What was he to do? .. 1 JLJ V Y JL W JLIJLSl JL/jLJL ILHlUl .LJL. JLjL 1 .fli.ll.

Newsom, of Ducatur, Ala., “if it had not been for Electric Bitters. For three years I suf fered untold agony from the worst forms of Indigestion, Water- brash, Stomach and Bowel Dis- pepsia. But this excellent medi cine did me a world of good. Since using it I cam eat heartily end h ive gained 35 pounds.” For Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Stomach,Liver and Kidney troub les Electric Bitters are a positive guaranteed cure. Only 50c at Dr. “Quick lunch” is one of the commonest of city signs. The sj|.p doesn’t say “a healthy lunch of good food—the character of the food abparently is not considered. It’s just a quick luuch,—eat and get away. Is it any wonder that the stoinacl breaks down? Food is thrown at* it, sloppy, indigesti ble and innutritious food, very often, and the stomach has to do the best it can. Normally there 'should be no need for medical as sistance for the stomach. . But the average method of life is ab normal and while this continues there will always be a demand for Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is the oue medicine which can be relied on to cure diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It is not a cure-all. It is a medi cine designed for the stomach, and to cure through the stomach re mote diseases which have their cause in the derangement of the 6taomacb and digestive and-nutri tive system. It cures wheu all else fails. The taxation that goes for the upbuilding of the public schools is the very freedom aud liberty of the people .—Governor Charles B.
