MISS ELIZABETH A. HARDEN.
Well defined and authoritative ru
mor* of a first-class row inside the
Georgia Agricultural Department, in
volving the present and the next ad
ministration. is the piquant morsel of
gosHip political observers are chew
ing upon.
The present Commissioner of Agri
culture. J. J. Connor, and the oresent
Assistant Commissioner, J. J. Brown,
both, it is said, aspire to be Assistant
Commissioner under Commissioner
.lames D. Price, who goes Into office
in June.
Some time ago Commissioner Con
nor and Assistant Commissioner
Brows ai' ■ aid to have had an un
derstanding, the alleged setting aside
of wh*ch Is now the cause of thetJls-
turbance within the department.
Brown Is understood to have prom
ised Connor his assistance in the mat
ter of the recent election of a man
ager at the Agricultural Experiment
Station in Griffin. In return for Con
nor's assistance In landing the As
sistant Commis^onership under Price
for Brown
When the election of a manager
took place at Griffin recently, how
ever, Connor was not elected, the
plum going to Professor DeCoach, of
Athens
Since that election Brown’s friends
• Taira that Connor has entered the
race for the Assistant Commissioner-
ship under Price, and Assistant Com
missioner Brown has been outspoken
in his indignation and surprise.
The Assistant Commissioner will
be appointed by Commissioner Price
after he is sworn In, and in the mean
time the disagreement between Con
nor and Brown as to which, if ei
ther, shall have the assistant’s place
is extremely interesting to political
observers throughout the State.

was best so, for Patrick had just been
told that a Vassal* College girl was
after bis shot-putting laurels and he
seemed a bit “miffed.’’
He di<1 not seem at all pleased to

But Miss Elizabeth Abigail Harden,

to-day that she wilt shortly do even
better than 33 feet and 3-4 inches.
In the shot-put McDonald’s mark

a seven-pound shot at the girl’s col

annual field meet at Vassal* last w eek,

that the meet kept her from march

Recent Reports Show Hundreds
t Suffer With Kidney Troubles
and Don't Know It.
There e scores of nervous,
tired, run-down people throughout
the city suffering with pains in
the back and sides, dizzy spells,
weaknesses of the bladder (fre
quently causing annoyance at
night), who fail to realize the se
riousness of their troubles until such
conditions as chronic rheumatism,
bladder troubles, dropsy, diabetes
or even Bright’s disease result.
All this is due to weak, inactive
kidneys. The kidneys are the fil-
terens of the blood, and no one can
be well and healthy unless the kid
neys work properly. It is even
more important than that the bow
els move regularly.
If you suffer with such sytnt*
toms don't neglect yourself anoth
er day and run the risk of serious
compiicgfions. Secure an original
package of the new discovery,
Croxone. which costs but a trifle,
and commence its use at once!
When you have taken a few doses,
you will be surprised how differ
ently you will feel.
Croxone cutes the worst cases of
kidney, bladder trouble, and rheu
matism, because it removes the
cause, it cleans out the kidneys,
and makes them filter out all the
poisonous waste matter and uric
acid that lodge in the joints and
muscles causing rheumatism;
soothes and heals the bladder, and
quickly relieves you of all your
misery.
You will find Croxone different
from all other remedies. It mat
ters not how old you ore or how
long you have suffered, it is so pre- ( 1
pared that it is practically impos- i
sible to take it into the human sys- '
tem without results. ' {j
An original package of Crox- ( .
one costs but a trifle, and all drug- \'
gists are authorized to return the >j
purchase price if it fails to give ,
i he desired results the very it ret G
lime \ou use it.

“The Way, The Truth
and The Life”
Mansions in Heaven,
Factories on Earth,
And Certain Houses
The night of His betrayal, Jesus said:
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe
in God, believe also in me.
“In my Father’s house are many mansions;
if it were not so, I would have told you. I go
to prepare a place for you.”
You believe, and yet are troubled.
His cross and love have made you dissatis
fied with self and with what you see and hear.
Visions of a heavenly home for you can not
soothe you, so long as yonder hovels pour
streams of children into Mammon’s maw.
“They should be at play,’’ you say.
Instead, factories and mills are marring
their hearts and lives to make dividends for
men.
Not this did Jesus mean, when He said:
“Suffer the little children to come unto
Me.”
And you would not—could not still the pity
born of His spirit surging in your heart.
Rightly, you deny that woman’s virtue de
pends on money.
But many families receiving less than a liv
ing wage must live within cheerless walls.
And this, you know—
When their girl is lost, fathers and mothers
are not consoled by the thought that, had their
wage been greater they could have saved her
from the colorless, gloomy home which made
her the more easily believe the luring lies of
an easier way to live.
“Better had she died,” you cry.
True! But you will not defend the hovel
and the wage.
You recall:
“The day-spring from on high hath visited
us,
“To give light to them that sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet
in the way of peace.”
And so, when some misguided man says:
“Segregate a few women for the common
good.”
You answer:
“Who shall choose the victims?
“Since when did God give man the right to
assign some to mansions in the skies and send
others to lodgings in hell?”
You justly say:
“Have done with the lie that men being
lower than beasts makes necessary the ruin
of some women!”
Even should a creature, like the fabled Min
otaur of Crete, more monster than man, ap
pear, you will not talk of sacrificing girls for
him.
Instead, you will lock up the brute.
Segregate him in a cell; that would be well.
The day has past for the making and
seiyng of white slaves in our city.
God’s pity for His children is opening your
eyes and ears.
You will help your sister. Never again will
you consent by silence to her destruction.
Heaven help the man who thinks you will.
You are awake.
“You believe in God.”

MEN AND RELIGION FORWARD
