Next June is the time when
the census ie to be taken and will
have to be completed in thirty
daya_Col. J. W. Anderson of
Covington is the supervisor for
the fifth district.
An exchange tells of a little fel¬
low who went to a church on a re¬
cent Sunday and was greatly in¬
terested in the collection, He
watched the ushers for a time
then whispered to his father:
“Papa, more’n half the folks got
in free.”
The pension drain upon the
treasury under existing laws now
amounts to $144,000,000 a year
and the bills introduced since the
opening of the present session of
Congress will, add if passed, at
l«ast $200,000,000 a year to this
sum. When will the raid of the
pension grabbers cease?
Thib will be great political year
and the white primary ought to
be adopted for the nomination of
candidates and thus do away with
all purchasable elements and
scrambles for individual success.
The white primary has workod
well and the registered voter on¬
ly is alowed to vote and decide
results.—We hope to see the Dem¬
ocratic party adopt this measure
to arrive at the will of the peo
• pie in the selection of candidates.
If Conyebs expects to keep its
name as a thrifty little city it
must get in the procession with
its neighboring towns and go to
establishing some little manufac¬
tory’s—something should be done,
and done very soon—There ought
to be several little enterprises put
in opperation here this year
There must be if the town is to
grow, and greater prosperity is
to our county—Let some of our
enterprising moneyed men take
& step forward at once by build¬
ing some kind of a factory.
Many a purchase is made away
from home because the prospec¬
tive purchaser is unrware that the
article desired can be procured of
local dealers or manufacturers.
The people must be kept constant¬
ly advised respecting the things
that are offered for sale. Some
merchants understand this thor¬
oughly, and as a legitimate ex¬
pense of their business devote
certain sums to keeping themselves
and their wares before the multi¬
tude of buyers. Asa rule, those
who grumble most about people
not buying from them have not
the classes of goods that they are
desired, or else hide their lights
under a bushel by neglecting or
refusing to advertise. They ex¬
pect prospective purchasers to
hunt them and their goods up.
The day of. that sort of merchan¬
dising is past, and will never come
again. The successful merchant
iu these days must be a believer
in and a liberal user of printer’s
ink. If he is iu a position, with
goods and prices, to meet compe
tion either at home or abroad, he
will tell it publicly, and keep tel¬
ling it. That is the way to at
tract custom.
Meantime, let those who make
their money in trade, rents or
oterwise keep this in mind, that
it is the duty they owe to their
fellow-foilers in pursuit of busi
ness not to let a dollar go abroad
that can be spent just advantage
ously at home.

All doctors told Renick Hamilton, of
West Jefferson, O , after suffering 18
months from Rectal Fistnla, he would

formed; bathe cured himself with five

PfiOfllBlTION.
< Senator McGehee’s speech before the
Georgia Senate, continued from last
Now. we come to the financial
question, and I state in my place
that the financial argument is
unworthy of consideration in a
great moral issue Jike this. Sen¬
ators, will you put the happiness
of your home, will you put
ture of your bright-eyed boy, will
you put the happiness of your
daughter who is just blooming into
beautiful womanhood, in the bal¬
ance and weigh it agaiust dollars
and gold dust, and silver? Will you
do it? The time has not come in
Georgia, it will not come soon,
when the people of this state will
and diamonds, dollars
and pounds, against virtue and so
briety, truth and honor, temper
tt nce and justice. But let us de
scend to that low and unworthy
argument, and I challenge any
man to refute the proposition,
when I say by passing* this bill you
would save enough money in one
year to run the state government,
with its schools and charitable in¬
stitution for two years, and then
leave a handsome sum in thetreas
ury. Now, let’s see. The people
in the state of Georgia pay annu¬
ally for education two million dol¬
lars, they pay for state govern¬
ment and public schools two mil¬
lions, that makes a total of 4 mil¬
lion dollars, and they pay 10 mil¬
lion dollars every year for whis¬
key That much in a year in Geor¬
.
gia ! Now, that is just the bare li¬
quor, to say nothing about the ad¬
ditional expenses of'courts and
jails, police and penitentiaries.
Ten millions! Just think of it.
When we spend money for schools
the buildings themselves and the
useful knowledge stored away in
the minds of our children abide
with us as an investment which
pays large dividends; moffey spent
for our charitable institutions is
an investment which brings honor
to the state because it is her duty
to care for her demented, poor, af¬
flicted children. What, senators,
does the barroom give us in re¬
turn for the ten million dollars—
what? It does not leave u shin

from sadness, our children from
shame and want, onr citizens from
disgrace and death, our women
from sorrow and tears. What is
the proposition of the saloon? In
return for the ten million dollars
per year, which they take largely
from the working and laboring
classes, they propose to give us
three hundred ami fifty tbosand
dollars, which can be applied to
the education of the children.
Senators, it is an insult to the vir¬
tue, intelligence and manhood of
Georgia, and 1 resent it in the
name of this grand old state.
What care the barrooms for the
education of our children? Noth
ing! The liquor traffic is after
money, and only money. What
is three hundred and fifty thous¬
and to them when they get ten
million by debauching our sons,
blasting the lives of our daughters,
tilling our homes with wail and
want? Why does this tax go in¬
to the school fund? I believe it
is a part of a scheme intended to
fasten eternally this curse upon
the state. They know that is the
place to put ifW'it will be strong
and have the greatest possible
power. They know where they
are ing P^iu^it. itjff the’edneation vThey are
not because the liquor traffic of
you^-ctfifdreh, Georgia loves the education of
dpt a bit of it, not
because they want to see j r our
children elevated. They put it
there because knew it was a
strong place to invest rheir
ey in ordtr to keep the legislature
from rooting up and rooting out
their business. That is why they
p u t it in the public schools,' and it
was thrown into the teeth of inen
in that house. “you gentlemen
,
ought not to support this bill, be
cause you couutry members get a
thousand dollars from the liquor
business.” I throw it back into
the teeth of the cities who made
the charge and I say to you that
the country members of Georgia
today are not ready to sell out
their homes and their virtue, and
damage their children for a few
paltry dollars from the cities of
the state of Georgia. I will tell
yoir.jyi>at -if'the -cities, of; Georgia
will let us alone we could afford
to'let them alone. If local option
is good for the citieg, why is it not
good for the country? They say
we have no right to cross city
beundaries and dictate to them
what they shall do, but every day
they an setting aside our law and
dictating what we shall do. If
you will keep your liquor out of
the dry conntieg, if Fulton will
keep her liquor at homo and out
of these adjoining, counties where
she is growing fat and rich on the
liquor business, draining five, ten
end fifteen thousand dollars'a year
from a county and quit debauch¬
ing ruining our boys afid homes
and damaging our community,
then we may listen to her talk of
“personal liberty.”
OBITUARY.
It becomes my sad duty to re¬
cord the death of Charley Den
nard. He was born August the
8th, 1868, died Jan. 15th, 1900.
His death occured in Covington
Ga , from a pistol shot which he
was placing in a drawer but fell
from his hand and fired, the ball
taking effect in his left leg below
the knee which caused his leg to
be amputated, and was done by
skillful physicians and was
thought to be doing well until a
short time before his death, All
was done that could be done by
doctors and friends, but to no ef¬
fect. - /
Charley was a young man with
many admirable qualities and was
loved and highly esteemed by all
why knew him.
Dear mother, weep not for thy non,
His work on earth was early (lone,
Now feasting on a saviors love,
He hears a seraphs harp above;
Thou sparkling eyes that upward
glowed,
Did they not speak his onward flight;
Did they not speak of joy began.
Yes mourning friends think of this
And view thine nugel child in bliss,
Nosicknees there, all sighing o’er
That radient glance shall fade no more
His spirit freed from sins dark stain
Will not encounter with again,
But when the savior bids the come
Ho will spread his wings to guide the
heme.
Then do not wish him bock again
To suffer and be wreched with pain
But let him in heaven at home
Where he shall no more sigh or groan ;
Yet, And O ! why his was place yonr darling filled killed,
now can not be
Because the savior knew it was best
To take your Charlie home to rest.
A FRIEND.
LET THE LAWS BE EN¬
FORCED.

Iti talking with our trustworthy
sherriff the other day we learn
that there are ton prisioners in
our ; jail awaiting trial and
before court convenes which is in
April we are likely to have sever
all more, and we have frequently
heard it bruited about that at
such a rate will soon bankrupt
the county. While it is costing the
the county no little sum
to keep these prisoners, yet we
charge upon our officers the 611 -
forcement of law. No matter
what the law is, if it is a law it
must be enforced in the interest
of life, prosperity and the com¬
munity's well-being—If the Jaw
is a bad one enforce it strictly
and it will sooner be repealed.
Let every citizen not only de¬
mand of officers the enforcement
of all law but help them—Officers
are only men and cannot enforce
the law without the help of its pri¬
vate citizens.—If all our people
'would help enforce the laws we
would have few violations and very
short inexpensive terms of court.

exchange suggests that her hus¬
band was a God-fearing man and
did not commit suicide.
Yonug man, dear young man,
did you know the girl you adore is
ready and waiting to give you a
favorable answer when you mus¬
ter up courage enough to ask her?
Don’t try to make up and menio
i‘iSe a set speech. It won’t work.
Numbers have tried it and never
did get off their speech that invol¬
ved so much thought and time.
If you have no parlor courage and
fail to get the needed inspiration
from a buggy ride or a moonlight
stroll, try swinging on the gate.
The yard gate has proven in many
instances to be the gate to bliss.
