Make the Children Happy |
By Orison Swett Marden.
j~'” - J j E have all seen children who have had no childhood. The
■w w y fun-loving clement has been crushed out of them. They have
been repressed and forbidden to do this and that so long
that they have lost the faculty of having a good time. Wo
t— .. see these little old men and women everywhere.
Children should be kept children just as long as possl-
ble. What has responsibility, seriousness or sadness to and
-11 „ll with children? We always feel indignant, as well as sad,
when we see evidences of maturity, over-seriousness, care,
or anxiety. In a child’s face, for we know some one has sinned somewhere.
The little ones should be kept strangers to anxious care, reflective
thoughts and subjective moods. Their lives should be kept light, bright, buoy
ant, cheerful, full of sunshine, joy and gladness. They should be encouraged
to laugh and to play and to romp to their heart’s content. The serious side of
life will come only too quickly, do what we may to prolong childhood.
One of the most unfortunate things I know of is the home that is not II
- iminated by at least one cheerful, bright, sunny young face, that docs not ring
v ith the persistent laughter and merry voice of a child.
No man or woman is perfectly normal who is distressed or vexed by the
Playing of children. There was something wrong in your bringing up if it
rnnoys you to see children romping, playing, and having a good time. —From
Success Magazine.

Collected Blind Beggar’s Money.
11. W. Hopkins, justice of the peace
of the 1348th district, was indicted by
the grand jury at Atlanta in two
counts, one true bill charging he col
lected ten dollars from a blind negro
beggar, Wright Weidman, that was not

charging him with not keeping his

Pelham Bars Lockers.
At a meeting of the Pelham city
council a tax of S7OO was placed upon
pool, billiard and other gaming ta
bles, also a tax of SIO,OOO on locker
clubs.
This was largely in response to a
demand made upon the council by
a committee of citizens. With these
licenses and vigilance that was prom

forced in the city.

To Accept Taxes of Western Union.
Attorney General Hart has advised
Comptroller General Wright to accept

general advises that it will be proper
to receive and receipt for the tax ou

duced bills in congress for new post
office buildings at every county site in
the fifth congressional district, the
cities named in the bills being Deca

These places are served by third
class offices, and the custom hereto
fore has been to limit the building
appropriations to $7,500. In his bills,
however, Congressman Livingston asks
for $15,000 for each place.

Deplore Rate Reductions.
The Georgia Federation of Labor
has gone on record through an inter
view issued by its president, D. P.
O’Connell, after a meeting of the ex
ecutive committee, in Augusta, as de
ploring the reduction of railroad rates
and fares through legislation of the
kind.
Mr. O Connell contends, as does also
the executive committee, that labor
conditions in the south have been dis
turbed by the legislation which has
caused shortening of hours, and there
by reduction of wages, as well as be
ing the direct cause of numbers of
workmen being laid off.

Trieste shortly. There will be 100 to
200 of them.
There are more men than women

Bankers Will Co-Operate with Farmers
After a conference in Macon be
tween the officers of the Farmers’ Un
on and the Georgia Bankers’ Associ
ation. looking to an agreement to con
trol the movement of cotton, it was
understood that, while the officers of
the bankers’ association could not com
mit any of its members to any line
of policy, yet they earnestly recom
mended that the banks and bankers of
Georgia co-operate with the farmers
In carrying out their purpose as far
as their individual ability would per
mit, and that it was their belief that
if farmers should take cotton to ware
houses and get receipts for it, they
could take those receipts and adjust
with creditors their obligations by
creating new obligations based -upon

Town Marshal Killed.
Asa result of the unprovoked killing
of Marshal Brinson by a negro whom
he arrested Sunday afternoon at Mid
ville, a small near Millen, a
bitter feeling has IxTui engendered,
which may result in further trouble.
The negro escaped, and on a call from
Midville the sheriff of the county and
a large number of armed men, with
bloodhounds, left for that place on
a special train for the purpose of
hunting down the slayer.
The negro killed the marshal with
out any provocation. He thrust a pis
tol against the officer’s body and fired
three times. One bullet passed through
the marshal s body and two lodged in
his abdomen. The officer fell to the
sidewalk and died almost instantly.
Clear Road for “College on Wheela."
In February and March next an ag
ricultural educational campaign ofi
great importance will begin in Geor
gia under the direction of Andrew M.
Soule, dean of the state agricultural
college.
Dr. Soule has received assurances
from the Georgia railroad commission
that it would not be an infraction of
the anti-pass order of the commission,
effective January 1, 15*08, to accept
from railroads of the state the use
of a special train to be used in this
campaign.
The plan is to secure a special train
consisting of two days coaches and one
baggage car, and travel all over the
state, speaking, lecturing and demon
strating to fanners the best methods
of farming.
It is understood that the railroads
stand ready to furnish this train and
transport it from point to point with
out cost, provided it does not conflict
with the rules and orders of the com
mission. Io determine this point be
fore going into it too deep, Dr. Soule
addressed a letter to the commission,
explaining the matter fully. Chair
man McLendon assured him that it
wou’d not conflict with the orders of
the commission.

70 TEST THIRD TERM IDEA.
Ulayton of Alabama Asks the House
to Go on Record.
Representative Henry D. Clayton of
Alabama wishes the house to go o\i
record as opposed to the Roosevelt
third term boom. That was the pur
pose of a resolution introduced by him
Monday.
A similar resolution was passed in
the forty-fourth congress in the effort
to defeat President Grant’s third term
aspirations. The measure was present
ed by Representative Springer of Illi
nois and passed on December 15, 1875,
by a vote of 233 to 18, with 35 mem
bers not voting. The house was dan
pcratic and Kerr of Indiana was speak
er. Many republicans who were un
friendly to Gr.'.nt and opposed to the
third term idea, supported it. Speaker
Cannon is said to favor the Clayton
resolution, and its author hopes enough
republicans will support it to have a
record vote, but the speaker, -despite
his personal preference, may not per
piit the aeutal vote to be taken.
COTTON AS SECURITY BASIS.
McLaurin of Mississippi Seeks to Help
the^parmers.
Senator McLaurin of Mississippi in
troduced a bill in the senate Monday
designed to relieve the present money
stringency and prevent its recurrence.
It permits persons owning any bonds
of the United States to deposit them
|n the treasury and receive notes to
an amount equaling their par value.
It is provided that until February,
J 909, persona owning one or more bales
of cotton may deposit cotton receipts
in a depository designated by the sec
retary of the treasury and receive
treasury notes to the extent of 70 per
cent of the value of the cotton. If
not redeemed, the cotton shall be sold
by the government.
BLUE SUNDAY IN NEW YORK.
Everything Closed Tight and Silence
Was Painful.
New York, which can usually be de
pended upon to provide something new
and sensational, treated its millions
of residents and tens of thousands
of week-end visitors to the novelty of
a thoroughly blue Sunday, the first iu
the history of the metropolis.
The effect of Sunday, closing was
everywhere apparent. The hush
throughout was painful to ears accus
tomed to week day noises and Sun
day harmonies.
