THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
THERE are women everywhere who suffer almost con
stantly because they cannot bring themselves to tell
all about their ills to a physician.
Such women can surely explain their symptoms and their
suffering by letter to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for the con
____ fldence reposed in her has never been
M wmw/r* mm Mlf violated. Over a million women have
sM been helped by her advice and medicine.
___ _ Mrs. Pinkham in attending to her vast
JItEUPS correspondence is assisted by women
' only. If you are ill, don’t delay. Her
ww OBWbEN reply will cost you nothing and it will be a
practical help as it was to Miss Ella E.
Brenner, East Rochester, Ohio, who says: “I shrunk from
the ordeal of examination by our physician, yet I knew I must
have treatment. My troubles were backache, nervous tired
feeling, painful menstruation and
leucorrhosa. I am so grateful
to you now that I am willing to

State School Com
missioner’s Report.
The state school commissioner
' as laid his annual report before
the legislature, and it is an inter
esting document. Mr. Glenn thinks
there should be some improve
ments made, ana he recommends
hat the legislature make some
- rdical changes in the present
•chool system.
He recommends that each coun
ty be required to raise bv taxation
,i local school fund equal to 25
ner cent, of the amount received
. com the state for school purposes.
< rovernor Candler referred to this
iu his annual message, but rec
ommended a local tax of 40 per
• •ent. instead us 25 per cent. But
!c is doubtful about the recom
mendation being enacted into a
law, for the people will undoubt
edly be against such legislation.
Mr. Gleun also recommends a
compulsory education law, and
-ays that if a state has the right
to tax the people for school pur
poses it also has the right to com
pel every parent to send the chil
dren to school. We need some
thing of this kind—either a com
pulsory law or a higher Benso of
duty to the children that will keep
the schools going nine months in
a year.
The increase in school popula
tion >early is 12,000. Aud
yet only 60 per cent, of the chil
dren go to school. Is it not a
lamentable fact that 40 per cent
of the boys and girls of Georgia
never go to school ?
Mr. Glenn recommends that
schools be centralized —that there
lie fewer schools and better ones.
Gwinnett county seems to be
adopting this plan and we hope
i he good work will go on.
It will not be a surprise to any
who ore at all familar with the
rood qualities of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, to know that peo
ple everywhere take pleasare in
relating their experience in the use
~f that splendid medicine and in
telling of the benfit they have
teceived from it,of bad colds it has
.*ured, of threatened attacks of
pneumonia it has averted and of
the children it has saved from
nttaoks of crup and whooping
■ *ough. It is a grand, gocd medicine.

ARP ON OLD ROAD.
Bill Takes Trip From Atlanta
To Augusta.
Some sad and some sweet mem
ories came over me as I journeyed
on the old Georgia Railroad from
Atlanta to Augusta. It was the
first railroad I ever saw and trav
eled on. My good old father was
one of the original stockholders.
He subscribed $5,000 and paid it
as it was called for. In those days
roads were not built on bonds or
questionable, mysterious schemes,
There was no preferred stock or in
come bonds or first and second
mortgages, but everything was
simple, plain ,»nd honest. I have
great reverence for that road. I
lived in Lawrenceville while it was
being built. Stone Mountain was
our nearest depot, and it was there
I first ventured to board a train,
as I journeyed to Athens to enter
college. How solemu, how inspir
ing was that ridel I remember
that it seemed to me that the trees
and fences and farms and inhabi
tants were all moving swiftly back
wards, while the train seemed to
be standing still and shivering on
its track. I had the same feeling
the fir-t time I ever weDt up in an
elevator. It was at the Gilsey
house, in New' York, and I was not
conscious of going up, but thought
the hotel was suddenly descending
into some subterranean cavity.
Young people nowadays have no
such experience. They do not re
member the time when there were
no railroads or telegraphs, nc r sew
ing machines, nor cooking stoves,
or matches, or steel pens, there
fore they cannot appreciate or be
grateful for the blessings they en
joy-
As we neared Stone Mountain
and I looked upon its hald, majes
tic summit I was carried back in
memory to the delightful days of
my youth, when, nearly sixty years
ago, that mountain was our tryst
iug place, and boys and girls jour
neyed there sixteen miles from La
wrenceville and spent a happy day,
and while there and on the way we
reveled in loves young dream, and
eyes looked love to eyes that spoke
again. I romember when th*re
was a tower on that, mountain’s
top —a tower one hundred and six
ty feet high, whose slender top did
sometimes touch the clouds, and it
was built by Anron Cloud, whose
very name made him a fitting arch
itect. It was the first sky-scraper
ever built in Georgia. I remember
the delightful day when a brunette
lassie with hazel eyes and ludian
hair ascended those winding stairs
with me, and as we sat together on
its dizzy pinnacle I thought I was
nearer heaven than I had ever been
before. Uoder pretense of shield
ing her from harm I half enclosed
her with my arm, and the palpita
ting lace on her bosom told me
how fast her heart was beating,
and there, almost in the clouds,
wo plighted our troth. I remem
ber one winter night the storm
came, and the rain descended, and
the winds blew, and that tower
fell, and great was the fall of it.
I remember when there was a fine
hotel at the base of that mountain,
and one night there was a ball in
the spacious diniDg room, and
“bright the lights shone o’er fair
women and brave men,” and for
the first tim6 I saw that queenly
girl whom the boys called Becky
Lattimer, and whose dashing beau
ty drew them to her as molasses
draws flies. Her father lived not
far away, a substantial farmer,and
a few- years later “our Becky” be
came Mrs. Rebecah Felton, wife of
the learned and eloquent doctor of
Cartersville. I remember when
that great solid mountain of gran
ite seemed larger—yes, much larg
er—than it looks to me now, for I
was young then and nature had
not begun to shrink with me. Ev
erything is smaller now and every
year gets smaller still. As Pope
says of the dying Christian, “The
world recedes —it disappears,” and
so it will to those who die of old
age. Tom Hood expressed it beau
tifully and pathetically when he
said:
“I remember, I remember the flr trees dark and
high,
I used to think their slender tops were close
against the sky;
But now I’m growing older and find It little
joy
To know I’m farther off from heaven than
wnen I was a boy.”
I remember that historical town
oalled Madison, where many of my

college mates lived. They are all
gone now,not one is left to comfort
me >ll my declining years. It was
here when I saw this raiiroad when
a boy of fourteen, and it .vas com
pleted to Madison. What a sen
sation of wonder and alarm as 1
looked at the huge leviathan that
came puffing down the track with
a train behind it. My father had
to hold my hand, for I trembled
lest it should jump the track and
sill us all.
My father was proud of that
road —proud because he helped to
build it. He kept the stock for
twelve years without receiving a
dividend. The stock went down,
down, down, till it reached its low
est point in 1849. It was then
worth only 27 cents on the dollar
but he faith and clung to it
with hope. About that time a
commercial revolution —a crisis—
a panic—came over the country
and to B’ive his mercantile credit
he was forced to sell his stock. It
distressed him and grieved my
mother, but he said there was no
help for it. The stock must go. I
remember the night he came home
and told my mother that the stock
was gone—he had sold it to Judge
Hutchins for 27 cents on the dol
lar—the stock he had paid 100
cents on 12 years before. Father
was sad and the tears fell on mo
ther’s cheek and none of us cared
for supper. When father went
back to the store that night I sat
down by mother’s side and took
her hand in mine. “Mother,” said
I, “you must not feel-so bad about
that stock. Let me tell you a se
cret: Last night I proposed to
Octavia Hutchins, I asked her to
marry me, and she said she would,
and we have fixed the time —the
7th of March —and in less thau
three months I’ll get that stock
back and it will be in the family
again. Now, don’t you tell, but
you mustu’t cry any more,” and I
kissed her on her che«k and said,
“Mother, Mr. Shakespeare says
‘All’s well that ends well.' ” But
my dear mother was a woman, and
womanlike she told an intimate
friend what I said about getting
the stock back, and that friend
told another woman in confidence,
and the confidence kept spreading
and spreading until the engage
ment and the stock matter got all
over the village and at last to
Judge Hutchins. I was mortified
and alarmed, but my affianced
stuck close to me, for she was
dreadfully in love, though she de
nies it to this day. In due time
we were married and were so hap
py that we didu’t want any stock
or any thing else hardly. A few
days after our marriage as I was
passing his office the stern old
judge called me in. He unlocked
his iron safe and taking out a pa
per, said to me, “I heard that you
told your good old mother that
you were going to marry Octavia
and get that railroad stock back.
Did you tell her that ?” I was
intensely alarmed, but, like Geo.
Washington, I would not tell a
lie. “Yes, judge, I did,” said I,
“but I did not mean it,” I added.
I saw the twinkle in his eye.
“Well,” said he, “I thought if you
were determined to have it I had
just as well giv* it to you now,”
and he handed me the certificate
with the transfer already written.
I don’t know what I said but he
enjoyed my embarrassment. What
a considerate man he was. I re
member a few months after he
sent six of the family negroes up
NOVEMBER 15, 1900.
to our house one morning before
we got up. We heard them
talking on the front steps and my
wife asked me to get up and see
what they wanted. They informed
me that ‘ old master told them
he had given them to me and Miss
Octavia and to come up here.
They were all servants and had
long said that when Miss Octavia
married they were gwiue to leave
with her. That was usual patri
mony of slave owners to their chil
dren. We had no use for them
and sent them back with a kind
note asking the judge to keep them
for us a’while longer. Some years
afte* that. Mr. Lincoln set them
free Lid tell The truth I am glad
of it, they were always a care and
an expense.
Now, while I write our train has
reached Union Point and I
remember when we college boys
used to take the tandem mule
train from here to Athens. It
was an all-day journey for it took
us eight hours to make the forty
miles, but we rode ou top and had
lost of fun and plenty of good
things to eat that our mothers had
provided. Yes, I love to ruminate
about those good old times when
everything had a roseate hue and
we wrote love letters to our sweet
hearts and reveled in love’s young
dream. —Bill Arp in Constitution.
DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and danger
ous results ot throat and lung
troubles. What shall you do? Go
to a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible If not
possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that
has been introduced in all civilized
countries with success in severe
throat and lung troubles, “Bos-
German Syrup.” It not
only heals and stimulates the tis
sues to destroy the germ disease,
but allays inflamation, causes easy
expectoration, gives a good night’s
rest, and cures the patient. Try
one bottle. Recommended many
years by all druggists in the world.
