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 tation, We woald thern have ample outlets with competing lines in any and all directions by land and wa ter, (eentleman, this matter 18 worth giving a little thought, time and money, if you would have Folk ston attain what ¢he is rightly en. titled to, “People talk about the midnight 01l as if it had some virtue attached to it,” writes doctor Hale in Woe man’s Home Companien. “In truth, pine times out of ten the midnight oil means overwork, or it means that you have veglected some 'dllyy which should have been attended to 1 efore the sun went down, * Unless each night recovers the ground lost in the exertion of the day before, you are committing sui cide by inches; and yon have no right to commit suicide at all.” . ekt Concelt 1s the soap bubble of life, very large, ver§ smooth and ascendagt untll pricked. i ame, L 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.

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.

She has resided in this city for the past threg years and has won many warfii friends by her modesty and womf: ly, Christian character. 5 The groom is a member of the Wina-Jotes Shoe Co., and is one of the most successful voung busin f ' men of Valdosta.

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. dzmwgv%e@w< % W.B.

" Cherry History. g 4t Is still asserted in schoolbooks that scherries were Introduced to England by* the “fruiterer” or greengrocer of yHenry VIII.; also, that they were not ‘v' non for a hundred years after that ‘thme.

Gower says the fri 8f taught that “life is but a cherye fayre,” and Hope ‘“endureth but a ji‘tfx,mwe. right as it were a cherye pfeste.” There §s more than one record _of the purchase of trees for the king's r@@n at Westminster centuries be ifore Henry VIIL. was born.

An unusual album was presented to Willls Clark, brother of Lewls Gaylord Clark, a poet, on one accasion, with a request for “some rhymes.” Mr. Clark was at the house of a farmer, and the man's daughter had turned an old account book fnto an autograph album in which were in seribed the names of her varlous friends and relatives below approprinte sentiments, Mr, Clark saw his opportunity, and after turning over the leaves for a mo ment or two he took a pen and wrote the following verse: £ s 4 This world's a scene as dark as Btyx !

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 betimes "happening to her, but 1 to sleep again. She came home about 6.” " Very Bagacious. A farmer had a very sagaclous dog which he had trained to count his sheep as they passed through a partic ular opened gate, against which a pile of stones were placed for the dog's use, As each sheep passed through the dog placed one of the stones agide. One day, much to the farmer’s surprise, he found the dog trying to break a stone In half, and on himself counting the flock he found there had been an ad dition In the night of a lamb.
