: N THE HERALD. It S————— ~e S Published Every Thursday, SBUBSCRIPTION PRICE, §1 A YEAR. IN ADVANCE. ' Advertising Rates Reasonable ©fficial Organ Chariton County and the Town of IFolkstod. W. W. TYLER, Proprietor. BEmntered at the postoffice at Folkston, Ga, as Second Class Matter. Society, in the real sense, is some thing to keep somebody out of, in such a way that nobody will doubt it s really worth getting into, wickedly observes Puck. The New York Herald suggests that instead of raising freight rates the railways obtain more income by asking payment for carrying bag gage, We dare not picture the up roar such a step would cause. Doubt~ less the rallroads would prefer to face shippers, Interstate Commerce Com-~ mission and President than to engage in ecombat with an indignant baggage carrying public. Delegates to the American Insti tute of Electrical Engineers at Atlan tic City devoted part of their time to the discussion of lightning and other natural electrical phé'nomena and dis turbances. A Pacific Coast expert in a paper on ‘“Protection Against Lightning,” said that the voltage of an ordinary bolt of llghtning is be tween 600,000 and 2,000,000, *“lt has been computed that the power of a single bolt of lightning’ would run all the electrical appliances in the world for six months,"” he said. “Per haps here we will eventually find a solution of part of the problem of conservation of natural resources, which has been troubling our statess men so much of late.” One of the largest manufacturers of preserves, catchup and chili sauce announces that in the future the preparations will be put up without artificial preservatives, and that the lkeeping qualities will be guaranteed the same as before. This decision, ;boutl the American Cultivator, 1s a triumph for the pure food campaign, the officlals of which have been try gnz to convince the manufactuvers ithat there is no need to use such chemicals as benzoid of soda and other injurious materials to make the Boods keep. It is announced that !tpounndl of cases of goods were put up last year without the preservative and have caused no trouble, while the natural color and flavor were maintained better than when chemi cals were used. “The present year has seen an ap preciable diminution in the number of volumes of verse published in England and America, announces Ferris Greenslet, in the Atlantic. lln 1906 the record was well toward the 6500 mark. In 1907 the number has probably not been more than half as great; there have been fewer volumes of distinction, and the average of quite negligible sheaflets of rhyme has been higher. It chances, hows= ever, that the year has brought forth a group of books by certain young men with whom poetry is a serious, and, in varying degrees, an intelli gent pursuit. In the poems of Al fred Noyes, George Sylvester Viereck and Madison Cawein, in the poetic dramas of Ridgeley Torrence and Percy Mackaye, and the collected dramas of Mr. Yeats, we have a body of sufficiently diverse material for the study of the poetic temper and attalx_xg)ént of our time as they are exhltglted in the work of those with whom poetry is a profession. The modern French duel meets every requirement of the modern French. gentleman of “scrappy” ten dencies, and as the Frenchman's duel s hi own affair what more is to be desired? Real “duels, Insists the Louisville Courler-.fo\urnal. are open to criticism: upon the score that the results do ‘not necessarily spell jus tice and as often as not satisfy a lust for murder rather than the demands of affronted honor. In the days when duels with swords were fought to a finish, frequently ending in the death of one of the contestants, the famous duelist was often a finished murderer and a consummate bully who pigked causeless quarrels, felying upon jhis superior swordmanship. Pistol del- Ing with real pistols and real ballets was little better, the aivantage rest ' dng with the man familiar with fire arms and expert in marksmanship, Civilization in this country has right 1y condemned the custom by outlaw .\: the duel and making the duelist felon. ¥ GEORGIA’S GREAT LOSS American Naval Stores Company Will Move Its Headquarters.

It has developed that the burglars who broke open amnd stole a number of guns and other articles from Hutchinson Lumber and Supply’ com pany at Cordele, might have been the same parties who caused that city to be in darkness more than an hour by tampering with the electric light plant.

Mr. Taft was well received in Min nesota, speaking in good voice with overcoat collar turned up because of snow.
