Favors Of The Editors. tEvery man, in every town, dur jig the course of his lifetime, has ask a favor of an editor—not exception to this rule.

A special director’s meeting of the North Georgia Electric Company was held at the office of the company last week at which the following stockhol ders and directors were present: Gen eral A. J. Warner, W. A. Carlile and W. H. Slack of Gainesville; E. P. Kirby, W. F. Huntley and E. S. Greenleaf of Jacksonville, Ill; C. M. Merrick of New Brighton, Penn; W. W. Murray of Huntingdon, Tenn; F. M. Marriott of Deleware, Ohio; R. S. McCabe of Dayton, Ohio. J. F. Moore and J. H Moore of Dahlonega. The principal matters claiming the atteution of the stockholders was the erection of a hotel and sanitarium, the disposition of the surplus power of the company, and the extension of the Gainesville & Dahlonega Electric rail way to Dahlonega. After going over all those matters, the directors decided only positively about one thing, viz: the erection of of a modern sanitarium, well fitted up and equipped, on the electric line somewhere between the Longstreet home and the switch. There are five sites suitable, but not one has been positively decided on. It is ery likely, however, that one will be chosen at an early date and the erec tion of a sanitarium begun, though no plans have yet been drawn for the building. The directors have the other matters spoken of above under consideration bnt have decided positively about none of them. At an early date, the Nbws may be able to give something definite concerning them, The President Would Do. While James Jeffrey Roche was having a ohat with President Roosevelt in the White House last week the telephone bell was ring ing somewhat persistently, says the Boston Hearld* There being no attendant at hand the Presi dent excused himself and went to the repeated oall.

They are strong men tally and physically, aud yet prac tically they eat no meat at all. The diet which enables them to develop such hardy frames and suoh well-balanced' and keen brains consists almost wholly of rice, steamed or boiled, while the better-to-do add to this Spartan fare fish, eggs, vegetables and fruit. For beverages they use weak tea, without sugar or milk, aud pure water, aloholio stimulants being but rarely indulged iu. Water is imbibed in what we should consider prodigious quan- tities-to an Englishman, indeed, the drinking of so muob water would be regarded as madness, The average Japanese individual swallows about a gallou daily in divided doses. The Japanese reoognize the bene- fioial effect of flushing the system through the medium of the kid neys, and they also clean the ex terior of their bodies to aa extent undreamed of in Europe or Amer ica. Auother—and perhaps this is the usage on whioh the Japanese lay the greatest stress-—is that deep, habitual, forcible inhalation of fresh air is an essential tor the acquisition of strength, and this method is sedulously practised until it becomes part of their ua ture. Resent Ashley's Proffered Insult Editor Gainesville News: Will allow me to express the very pleasure it gives me to see that men of our city and county are organ izing to rebuke iu a proper spirit the impudence of Mr. Ashley, an Ohio Re publican, in presuming to think he could represent us-Southernera, .ieor- gians—in Congress. This presumption is an insult to the intelligence and pa triotism of every man in our district. It is humiliating enough that he has found among us those who go around repeat ing plausible sophistries as to why he should be sent to congress. The only reason given would arouse ones indig nation were they not so absurdly ri diculous. First, they claim he is a very pleasant gentleman. Doubtless, but we have several other republicans, who are pleasant gentlemen, but they have never dreamed that we would re ward their pleasantry bv sending them to congress. Second reason, his na tron saint has received him kindly, shown him the earth and the glories thereof, and ail these things will be given us if we fall down and worship him by sending Mr. Ashley to congress. Little does Mr. Ashley know of the proud uncompromising southern heart. The south is as sensitive of her poverty as she is of her hpnor. The south has been robbed* plundered and humiliated by the republican party but thank Heaven it has never been able to bny it and it never will. Let our people hurl back with scorn and oontempt his offered insult ia republican fieshpots. Make his defeat so overwhelming, so ignominious, as to convince his party once for all that Georgia will be repre sented by her own sons or not at all. Next to her own hearth-stone the southern woman loves her southland, and the chivalry, honor and glory of southern men are her proudest herit age. Any evil that would threaten the safety of one, or mar the brightnees of the other arouses her deepest indigna tion. Therefore, Mr. Editor, may a wo man, an old time southern woman, urge every father, brother and son in our district, be he democrat, populist or independant, to allow nothing to prevent him casting his vote for demo cracy and sharing in the honor of bury ing Mr. Ashley so deep that there will not remain even the memory of his re publican stench. —Southern Woman. Gainesville, Oot. 1904. Foot Almost Crushed By Car Coupling. While standing on the platform of a train in Atlanta recently Mr, Wm. K. Loyd came near losing his left foot, the next car of the tram was baoked up and his foot caught between them with great pressure. But having on a pair Au Eighth aveuue car was bowl- ling along uptown when a gust of wind unceremoniously lifted a straw hat from the head of one of the male passengers aud Bent it whirling down a side street, says the New York Press. “Oh, look, auntie 1” exclaimed a small boy on the seat behind, as he nudged the woman next to him and pointed at the hatle&s and bald-pated passenger, “Thatman’e lost his hat, Why don't he stop the oar and go after it?” “I. don’t know, dear,” replied the woman, “unless it is that the straw hat season is over, and the gentleman dosen't miod losing it. “Well, auntie, is your hat on good and tight?” “YeB, dear; why do you ask?'' “ ‘Cause if it blowed off it might take your wig along with it, and then you’d look just like the man, wouldn’t you—” But at this point the little boy’s auntie whispered something iu his ear that made him suddenly sit up straight and stop talkiug.
