HOW FOR I*oo.
The man who loves Georgia
better than his own county isn’t
full of patriotism. First your
home, then your county, then
your state. First your county
paper, then your state papers.
We intend to make the News-
Herald for 1900 better than it has
ever been. To do this, we need
the co-operation of the best, peo
ple of the county. If you take
the paper yourself, speak to your
neighbor, who does not take it,
about his subscription. If you
know of anything that will be of
interest to the people, send it to
us.
We want our correspondents to
write each week, if possible. Your
letter may not be of very much
interest to people of the other
side of the county, but they will
be highly interesting to the people
of your community.
This is a great political year.
Every officer from the President
to the Bailiff is to be elected. We
■hall give our readers the plat
forms aud candidates of all the
political parties. Our county af
fairs aud county elections will be
of special interest to you. There
fore, you can’t afford be without
the News-Herald for 1900.
Judge Richard B. Russell’s firm
stand for good roads in the West
ern circuit is commendable. Every
county in the circuit has better
roads thau ever before, and Clarke
county is even grading hers.
IS IT TBS 19th OB 90th CENTURY?
One writer says: “Represent
the moment of the birth at Beth
lehem with a zero mark if you
please, but it remains true that
the first year of the Christian era,
or the year 1, did not come to an
end until 865 days had elapsed,
likewise the first century could
not be completed until the last
second of the last day of the 100th
year had passed. The first year
of the second century was there
fore numbered 101, and if so the
first year of the twentieth centu
ry must be numbered 1901. That
is all we can see in it. It is true
that 1900 stands for 1900 years <
but a year is not a mere second of
time that comes and is gone in a
twinkling. We begin to write
1900 next Monday, not because
1900 years have passed, but be
cause the 1900th year has begun.
When it is completed we shall
write 1901 and thus begin to count
the years of the new century.”
Another writer says: “Begin at
the beginning, which for the sake
of clearness, we may call zero;
then, when a year has passed, you
may count 1, after which you will
be in the second year, which, when
completed, will count 2. And so,
if you continue this method of
calculation through the centuries
till 1900 is reached, the record
will be that 1900 years have pass
ed and the nineteefith century is
complete; and what comes after
midnight on December 81, 1899,
must of necessity belong to a new
century, the twentieth. ”
It seems to us that the first
reasoning is correct, and that the
trouble with the second is that
the premise is wrong, therefore
the conclusion must be wrong.
You should not wait till the end
of the first year to count one, as
suggested by the second writer,
because at any time during the
year 1 the date would have been
in the year of our Lord 1, so in
the year 1900 any date means in
the 1900th year, and not that 1900
years have already passrd.

QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of usiug anything else for Indiges
tion or Billiousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldsm heard of
Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
•ystem and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doges of Green’s
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is noth
ing serious the matter with you.
