went to a preacher to get married.
The minister asked the young
man in the course of the ceremony,
11 Will you promise to love, honor|
ai d cherish her as long ns you
live? 1 ’ He didn’t respond, but
after a pause said, “I can’t prom¬
ise to love her as long as I live,
but will promise to cherish her.
IS * one can be honest and say what
he will love in the future, for love
no one can control, but I love her
now. We understand that the

Burglary is a crime that
should be punishable with
death. If the members of
the Legislature, when it next
meets, have any desire to
immortalize themselves
they can easily do so by mak¬
ing it dangerous to life for a
burly block negro, a tramp,
or any other individual to !
commit burglary. The I
Weekly Baener goes on re
cord as favoring death for j
burglars.
The Fifth Congressional
district, of Georgia, has more

routes will be put on in this
county within the next week
or so.

Ladies Scooting Club.
Some of our citizens are
agitating the question of a
shooting club for ladies, The
prime object of the organiza¬
tion will be to learn ladies
how to use a pistol or ride
expertly. The time lias c ime
when it is absolutely nec.essa
ry that ladies should be able
to protect themselves at all
times, even in the sacred
precincts of the home, and
this they can’t do without a
knowledge of shooting. Most
ladies are afraid of a pistol or
gun and are wholely unable
to use them with’ any accu¬
racy. If a sufficient number
of ladies will signify their wil¬
lingness to become members
0 f‘ the club steps will be ta
ken for its immediate orgau

USES OF RAWHIDE.
Cogwheels Made of It and Mallets wj ■
Many Other Things.
“One of the most curious of % ■
many things made nowadays of ra?.; E I
hide/'’ said a.man who handles such.
articles in his business, “is the raw-: K
hide pinion or cogwheel. Yon; I it
might think that the teeth of such;
a wheel would break down and wear; K
off quicker than those of an iron! I I
wheel, do but break, as a and matter rawhide of fact theyj I
not a pinion’
will w r ear as long as an iron pinion/, I I
if not longer. | I
“Such pinions are made of many
layers of rawhide pressed solidly I
together and bolted through and I
through to metal plates placed on
the face sides. of the The wheel teeth thus cut formed across the |
are,
of course, each composed compacted of many
layers of the thoroughly
rawhide standing edgewise.
“Pawhide pinions are used for
many purposes. One of their great .1
advantages is found in their noise- I
lessness. They are used in machine I
shops against iron gear so as to
make less noise; they aTe used for;
motor pinions on street railway cawj
£fnd so on. ;
“Another rather curious though;
now somewhat common use for raw-;
hide is in the making of mauls and;
mallets having heads of rawhide and;
hide faced hammers. These are put;
to a great variety of uses, as fori
pounding on dies and punches and;
cn polished metal surfaces. I
“Rawhide is used for bellcord in; _
street cars, for all manners of straps
and for shoe and boot laces. It is 1
used in the manufacture of arti¬
ficial limbs and for trunk handles
and for trunk binding, for washers,
for many sorts of harness and sad- .
dlery goods and for whips and
lariats, and not the least of its use*
is in the manufacture of various
kinds and all sizes of belting"—
