Committee
The legislature just closed,
passed some excellent bills and
we think its greatest sin this
year one of omission in failing
to pass the age of consent bill.
Good prices are being offered
the farmers for mules now, but
our advice is not sell them if you
are going to need them. They
will cost you much more in the
spring.
The first test case in Georgia
of the draft law was bacided at
Mt. Aviry Monday by Judge
Speer, and his decission upholds
the constitutionality of the law.
The Commissioners are having
concrete walks put in front cf
the Court house. We commend
them for this act. The improve
ment will be permanent and
should, as soon as, possible, be
put on all sides and entrances.

A Mild Threat.
The following story of the lnte Dr.
Timothy Dwight appeared recently In
tlm dally press. In Ids early day
when lie was a tutor In charge of stu
dent discipline at Yale, a sort of pn
tor, apparently, lio was called out of
Ills room by some midnight escapade.
IIo was obliged as a matter of duty
to pursue the disturbers, and with his
long legs he soon found himself gnln-
iug rapidly upon them. Thereupon n
solemn voice rang out suddenly Into
the night:
“Gentlemen, If you don’t run a little
faster, I shall be obliged to overtuko
you—Youth’s Companion.
Sunday Services
Rev. J. B Phillips will preach
Sunday morning to Christians,
Everybody .urged to come out
and hear him.
In the afternoon he will preach
a special bermon to men and
boys over jl2. This is an im-'
portant meeting and every man
andbov in Douglasville should
hear this sermon,
The singing, led by Mr. Bell,
will be an enjoyable feature cf
both services.
State of Oman.
Oman Is an Independent state In
southeastern Arabia extending along a
coastline—southeast and southwest—of
almost 1,000 miles from the Gulf of
Arinins and inland to the deserts.
Area, 2,000 square miles; population
estimated at 500,000, chiefly Arabs, but
there is a strong infusion of negro
blood. Capital, Maskat, with about
24,000 population. Reigning sultan,
Scyyhl Tulrnur bin Feysll, who sue
reeded his father, October 5, 1913. In
land the sultan’s authority Is merely
nominal. Oman Is really a dependency
of the British government.
FOR SALE CHEAP-Some
screen doors and a few pieces of
furniture. Call at my home. I
also wish to buy a piano box at
once. Mrs. G. H, Turner.

Bait for Pigeons.
A little salt mixed with a qunntlt5'
of common yellow clay und placed
the roof or on a board on the side of
an outbuilding will attract the com
mon pigeons to such an extent it will
not be dlllicult to secure quite n bevy
of these birds. It is known that the
pigeon loves a little salt, and as most
of the natural salt licks, as they were
called in early days, are gone, the birds
will soon discover the salt with the
moist earth.
Calling Him Down.
Mr. Cole had been scolding his slx-
y ear-old daughter, who retorted
“Don’t you think, papa, that just be
cause you married mannna you have
right to be rude to all women 1”

The Inner Life.
’TIs nn exact life that maintains It
self In due order In private, wrote
Montaigne. Everyone may juggle his
purt, und represent tin honest man up
on the stage; but within, and in Ills
own bosom, where nil may do as they
list, where all Is concealed, to be reg
ular, there’s the point. The next de
gree is to be so In his house, and in
his ordinary actions t for which there
no study nor urtiflee. And therefore
Bins, setting forth the excellent state
of a private family, says; “Of which
the master is the same within, by his
own virtue and temper, that he Is
abroad, for fear of the laws and report
of men.” And It wus a worthy saying
of Julius Drusus, to the masons who
offered him for three thousand crowns
to put his house in such n posture
that his neighbors should no longer
have the same Inspection Into It us be
fore: "I will give you,” said lie, “six
thousand to make It so that everybody
may see Into every room.”
OPENS SEPT. 3
The Douslasville Public School will open
Monday, September 3rd.
We are expecting the largest attendance
in the history of the school.
Children who will be six yeara old by Jan. 1st.,
should enter in September rather than January,"
Pupils are urged to enter the first day.
Our High School is on the accredited list which
means that our graduates can enter the best col
leges of Georgia without an entrance examination
We urge all the boys and girls of the county
who expect to attend a high school this year, to
come to Douglasville.
DOUGLASVILLE SCHOOL BOARD
Exercise Your Will.
In the Woman’s Home Companion a
writer says: “Let us keep it in mind
each day that a weak will is the sign of
Inferiority; It means that we belong to
the lower classes, to the weak and in
ferior; and then remember that if we
remain weak apd Inferior, it is not be
cause we must, but entirely because we
prefer to; and remember that we can
become one of the intelligent ruling
class if we choose. Let us set ourselves
certain tests of will, and remember to
let them be tests, not tasks. Let us
throw away if we can, all somber ideas
of duty and all ideas of our weakness
being sinful. Perhaps It might be ac
counted so by those of a strongly re
ligious trend; but let us remember that
our task, our whole splendid and Joy
ous tusk in this instance, is to learn
to exercise and use our powers. It Is
Emerson who says: ‘What you are
speaks so loudly, I cannot hear what
you say.’”
