are convenient to polling places and,
of course, will not iorget it.

in iT what they can, with the means in
hand, for the improvement of the new

coming a popular resort. Some “sweet
day’’ in the bright future the park will
be “a tiling of beauty,”—but it will
take time as well as money.
The trustees ot our military college
pay rent for the Barracks and it is the
duty ot the* city fathers to keep the
building in repair. It is the best pro
perty owned by the city, and the city
council should take special pride in it,
as the best means to continue the proud
history of our grand old town The
historic old capital is well calculated to
give a high inspiration to our boys and
already Georgia is being nobly illustra
ted by those who have gone out into
the world from our military college.

BIO SLUMP IN JUNE VOTE.
Politicians say apathy of country
voters means much to Candler.
Onlv small vote expected.
Claim is made that the country dem
ocrats will remain at their homes ami
leave the cities und towns to do the
voting. It this is true the situation
is exceedingly uncertain and the lack
of interest is painful to democratic
workers.
The consensus o? opinion is that the
vote will be very light in all the coun
ties where there is no local contest on
the same day. One of the clearest-
headed and most observant politicians
in the state, who has just returned
from a trip through the western part of
the state, said this morning that not
more than one-filth of the democratic
vote would be polled in the primary on
•thp Gth ot June, except in the counties
wliere local candidates are to be voted
for on the same day. This applies to
about half ti e counties and if true, it
means that in half ttie sta*e not more
than one-fifth of the party vote will he
east.
This gentleman said that the fifth
voting would come muinjje from the
towns and cities, and that the farmers
would have little to do with the elec
tion Atlanta Journal.
It will be seen from the above upon
what the. combined' opposition against
Col. Candler is basing its hopes. It
would seem that their only hope is that
the farmers will stay at home on elec
tion day and not express their choice
for Governor.. In this we think they
are mistaken. We do not believe the
farmers will leave the election of Gov.
ernor entirely to the cities and towns.
Surely they will give one day to the
election of their choice tor the highest
office in their gift.
As county officers are to be nomina
ted at the same time. Gtli of June, in
this county, a full vote will, no doubt,
be polled in Baldwin.
SAND.PILB FOR CHILDREN.
The Cheapest and Most Satisfying
Playing in the World.
“First in a child’s outfit should be a
sand heap if th« young ones are quite
young,” writes Charles M. Skinner ot
“Gardens for Children” in the .June
Ladies’ Home Journal. “Almost the
first thing that human beings want to
do, after they learn to eat. is to dig. A
cartload of sand is one ot the cheapest
and most satisfying playthings in the
world. It is worth a houseful of dolls,
and painted monkeys on sticks. Watch
Johnny and Nellie at their work and
you will wish most heartily that you
could find the same novelty and en
thusiasm in your employments. That
sand pile is very cosmos. Mountains
are builded from it with the use of tin
shovels and beach pails;there are caves
in the cool depths near the toot of those
Himalayas—caves big enough for the
cat tv turn around in. Johnny makes a
fort on his side, and Nelly lays out a
garden on hers. Johnny’s lort mounts
muiderou9 clothespins, and the gar
den has trees and flowers and fountains
made of burned matches, wisps ot paper
and broom straws, while china dolls
walk abroad there and take the air.
‘What trifling!’ did you say? Not so.
This is one ot the most serious affairs
in life. Don’t you see that in this plav
the little ones are learning? Probably
they acquire more exact interrelation in
an hour than they gain all day in
school. They are gathering ideas—
facts—about this physical world that
they must use their whole lives long,
for all knowledge rests upon them.ideas
about substance, gravity, density, form,
distance.”

The Masonic Hall is one of the his
toric old buildings of this city that ha
escaped the flames and, now with the
splendid water facilities for suppressing
conflagrations, its substantial walls pro
mise to stand ior years to come. Most
of the prominent men of this city for
the past seventy years have climbed
its stairs to learn the sublime mysteries
of masonry. For years and years the
old Southern Recorder was published
by Grantland andOrme and Grieve in
the corner now occupied by ihe Bank,
and was headquarters of the old whig
party before the war. Since the war
the Union Re;oruer has had an office
in the same building. When the court
house was destroyed by fire the second
floor of the Masonic Hall was used for
Court purposes. Usually this floor has
been used for law offices. In the his
tory ot the old town this grand old
building stands preeminent.

Clifford Howard writes of Robert
Browning’s romance as “The Most
Beautiful Love Story in Literature”
in the June Ladies’ Home Journal.
“Not once in all the years of their
married lite was Browning absent from
his wife a single day,” writes Mr.
Howard. “At home or on their occa
sional journeys he was ever with her. j
ready to protect her and to wait upon
her. Often ill and unable to leave her
room, he nursed her with the tend r- |
ness of a woman; cheering her in her
convalescence with stories and son:s.
or reading to her four hours at a time,
as he ott had done in the days before
their marriage. It was in their touch ■ 1
ing thoughtfulness—in his little act of (
loving and unsolicited attention—that j
his love for her was most truly shown.
Ofttimes would he rise earlj’ in the i
morning, long ere the time for her;
awakening, and hastening ;orth into
the garden or the fields, gather a bunch ;
of fl agrant blossoms to place at her ;
bedside, that they might be the first re- :
altiesof life to greet her with their sun- |
shine and with their tender message of 1
love upon her return trom the world of |
dreams. Hisevpry thought, his every
care, was of her—to add to the joy or
the comfort oi lief life; and many were
the means devised by bis tliouglitlul
solicitude for the accomplishment ol iiis
loving purpose. To shield her delicate
eyes from the light lie had placed in the
window of her room a small shutter ot
mica, so arranged that the sunliglr
might fall upon her table in subdued
and gentle radiance.”

Whenever a man cannot conscien
tiously say something good of his town
and its people he had better leave it.
He should go to the town that he can
praise. Nothing so injures a town as
discontented and disloyal* citizens. It
is not selfishness for members ot a
family to defend, uphold and assist
each other in preference to others, and
neither is it selfishness for the peop'e
ofa town to stand by each other in a
business way. It is nothing more
than what is right and proper. When
ever it is possible every enterprise
sliouid patronize every other enter
prise. The old adage, in union there
is strength, will apply here. Foreign
enterprises have no claim upon the
; eople of a town in which there are
like enterprises, everything being
equal. The way to make a town is to
stick to it, its people and its enter
prises.
The human machine starts but once
and stops but orce. You can keep it
going longest ar.d most regularly by
using DeWitt’s Little Early Risers,
the famous little pills for constipation
and all stomach and liver troubled.

Scientists Insist That There is No
Such Tiling as "Hydrophobia.”
In the June Ladies’ Home Journal
Edward W. Box writes on “The Buga
boo ot the Mad Dog,” quoting a num
ber of authorities to show that there is
no such disease as "hydrophobia” and
inquiring ir "it is no: time, therefore,
in vie v ot these indisputable tacts, tliut
we should give ourselves a little more
freedom trom tins bugaboo o! the mad
dog? A'liut tiie newspaper* so essen
tially report ns cases ot ‘hydrophobia
are, in reality, nothing more nor le?s
than instances ot people who have been
Ihtteii by 'logs and triglitene.1 into hys
terical conditions in which they invol
untarily reproduce ail the suppo.-ed
symptoms of ‘hydrophobia.’ It is a
pity vital our newspaper editors cannot
Have a m nv careful regard for the
feelings of women during the summer
months and agree to s p >r*-L tiie re
ports of cases supposed to be ‘hydro
phobia.’ They make the public mind
nervous, and do more lo spread the
silly notion ot a beiiet in ‘hydrophobia’
than anything else. Women have had
(heir feelings played up n long enough
by this foolish notion ot “hydroplioqia,*
and enough unnecessary sutUring lias
been inflicted upon the dog, who is of
ten killed tor uotliing but a popular
fallacy. It ^ high time that common-
sense should rutt: that we .-hould tie-
lieve the fact that there i* nc such
