CHARLTON COUNTY HERALID
VOL. Xl.--NO. 9.
DOING.
As the Herald has said before,
we people are too contented. We
are satisfied to continue in the way
of our fathers. Only a few days
since thers was a move by the Way
cross board of trade to encourage
the extension of the Atlanta, Birm
ingham and Atlantic railroad from
Waycross to Jacksonville, Several
towns a2t once joined with the move
nient and had representatives at the
meeting of the Jacksonville and
Waycross Boards of I'rade held in
Jacksonville last Wednesday, Prom
inent Imong these towrs were St.
Marvs and St. George, one to the
south west of a dirsct line from
Waycross to Jacksonville, the other
ta the east. In ouropinion this is
a move on the partof the A.B. &
A people to get into Florida, and
this belief was strengthened in a
short conversation with Mr L.
Johusoun, Pres. of the St. Marys
& Kiugsland R. R on Monday. We
asked Mr Johason if it was not realy
amove on the part of the railroad
p ople and he admitted that only a
sow days before the agitatian was
begun the vice-president had said
shat it was the thing to do.
With all fairness to St. Marys, for
we would not do a thing that we
thought woulcd interfere with her
plans for the future; would it not be
the thing to do for the officials, both
caunty and city, to meet and come
on some cnderstanding, and at least
extend an luyitation to the A. B &
A people to puss through Folkston?
Snch a move would at least do us
of the A. B. & A. peoplg, they will
in all probability strike a bee line,
from Waycross, or as straight as is
practicable, in which case the road
would run to w:st of here, some
four or five miles, a thing Folkston
does not waut. We want the road
to touch the town,
Mr Johnson says iz case the road
fails to run to Bt, Marys and comes
to Folkston that he will extend the
Bt. Marys and Kingsland roal to
connect with it at this peint, Our
peopie should take the matter up
with the A. B, &, A. officials, mapp
g out the route, the distance and
advantage to be gained by touching
Folkstan. It is true that the road
cannot b: extended from Waycress
to Jacksonville without passing
thraugh this county and the county
would be benefited by the extension
but, we want it to come to Folkston
and we believe that 1f our people
will take a little interest in the mat
ter, it will touch us this being the
county cite and the bnsiness center
of the county. With the A, B. &
A , the Atlantic Coast Line, South
ein ancd St. Marys & Kingsland
roads here, there are few, if any
small _towns that would be bet
ter equipped in the way of irfnspor

outlets with competing lines in any
and all directions by land and wa

to it,” writes doctor Hale in Woe

pine times out of ten the midnight

that you have veglected some 'dllyy

STATE IS DUMP
Atlanta, July 19.—The people of
the state are urged by Dr. R. E.
Stallings. State chemist. to be care
ful in purchasing food stuffs, to see
'that such is labeled, to examine the
label and find if the contents are
pure, aduiterated or compound; to
see that the weight corresponds with
that given and, above all, watch fine
print on all labels.
The cantion is given 1 a pure
food bulletin, the first that has been
issued, which was made public Sat
urday. It gives a detailed report
of the work accomplisned since the
present law went into force a year
ago, a
MUCH ADULTERATION.
**The work in the laboratory dur
ing the last few months has shown
conclusively that there was an enor
mous amnount of adulterated articles
on the market,” says the State chem.
ist. [t shows that our state has
been a veritable dumping ground for
the manufacturers of impure goods.”
“Great improvement is noticcanle
since an understanding of the 1e
quirements of the law became some
what general,” he adds. He states
that no prosecutions have been made
for violations because merchants
and manufacturers as a rule have
be:n unfamiliar with its provisions.
He urges that this custom cease and
hereafter permit the law to take its
course. { Pt
- “ I beheve that there is no more
important law on our statute books,”
continues Dr. Stailings, ¢lt pro
tects the lives of our people, and the
consumption of pure fouds no doubt
lengthens the lives of all. The man
who insidiously and sjowly poisons
ihe people by placing chemicals in
verely dealt with,” ;
45 PER CENT ADULTERATED. ‘
The extent of adulteration in the
average food stuffs 1s shown by the
statement that out of 632 samples
evamined 45 per cent were found to
be aduiterated, misbranded or below
the standagd. ;
The law does not fix standards
except for goods that are sold as
pure. Adulterated or compound ar
ticles must be laoelled with a state
ment of their correct contents,
Dr. Stallings urges that amend
ments to strengthen the present law
be enacted, among the needed ones
being a provision to give greater
publicity to those found guilty of
violations and to prevent the unhin
dered use of many doubtful pro
ducts. |
USE CQAL TAR. l
He calls attention to the use of |
coal tar preparations as coloring,
saying that the practice, while harm
less in some instances, is a danger
ous one and shculd be stopped, i
Attention is called to a butter col
oring generally used, upon the orig
inal package of which 1s printed a
warning to keep it out of the reach
of children. .
The names of individuals and
firms from whom samples of various
kinds of food-stuffs were taken are
given, together with the result of the
analysis of each sample.
Sausage dealers lead in this res
pect, taking up about two and one
half pages of the pamphlet. The
pubiic is informed just what the
contents of the staples of life shoula
be,in order that they may know
when they get real goods.

) The home of Mrs. E. A, ‘Foster
wus the scene of a quiet, but very
pretty murriage Tuesday afternoon at
four o’clock, the contracting parties
being her daughter, Miss Ethel Fos
ter ard Mr. Turner Jones.
The ceremony was a surprise i
tha* no anouncement had been mude
of it, It was known, however, that
Mr. Jones had been very assiduous
in his courtship for a year or more,
and the intimate friends of the couple
had begnn to suspect that a surprise:
was being planned for them. The
ceretmony was performed by Rev. J
D. Chepman in the presence of!
members of the family, the m:u!l'i:l'ge~
being a quiet home affair. 8
‘l'he bride wore a blue Panama
coat suit, with hat and gloves t_(fi
match and she looked exceedinglé
pretty. The groom was handsomé
in a conventional business suit. At
ter the ceremony the couple took
the train for Jacksonville, wheré
thea took a steamer for New Yorl
They will remain three weeks in the
north and they will return to \:fig
dosta. Upon their return they
have rooms at the residence of MA

The bride is an unusually attract’
ive young woman and posseses Q',
cellent traits of character. She has
resided in this city for the past threg
years and has won many warfii
friends by her modesty and womf:

THE ARTESIAN WELL =
About a week ago at’d depth of
510 feet a vein of artesian water
was struck which came up to about
14 or 15 feet of the top of the ground
and thinking that by going another
100 feet that another vein with
more force would be sttuck which ‘
which would bring the water flowing
out at the top, Mr, Russell contin
ued to bore until Tuesday afternoon
when at a depth of 605 feet he struck
an opening that absorbed all the
water he conld pump into It, but nu
flow. Yesterday morning a pitcher
pump was put on and worked hard
for an hour or more, bringing a
very fine quality of artesian water,
which seems to be inexaustible. It
is more than probable that a flow
will never be obtained. The dan
ger now lies in the fact that if cas
ing is used to enable further boring
that the present stream will be lost,
and the same conditions that now
has theiwn hung up will be encounter
ed before another vein is struck, At
any rate Folkston has fine artesian
water if 1t docs have to be pumged.

Pepys on May Dew.
In Pepys’ time May dew—that Is,
dew gathered from the grass on a May
morning, ‘and especially on 'the morn
ing of May day—was highly prized for
bleaching linen and improving the com
plexion. "“Pepys Wrote in 1667: “My
wife away down with Jane and W.
Hewer to Woolwich in order to a lit
tle air on to ' lle there tonight and so to
gather May dew tomorrow morning,
which Mrs. Turner bath taught her is
the only thing In the world to wash
her face with, and I am contented with
it.” Two years later he made this en
try in his diary: “Troubled, about 3
in the morning, with my wife's callifg
her maid up and, rising herself, to go
with her coach abroad to gather May
dew, which she did, and I troubled for
it for fear of any hurt going abroad so

sleep again. She came home about 6.”
