HOT HIGH-PRICED AMBITION
Magazine Poet Surely Could Not Be
Accused of Having Too Strong
Desire for Wealth.
Apropos of Marshall R. Kermoehan,
•who makes $30 a year by writing
music, a magazine poet said:
“To make $30 a year out of music
is pretty good. It’s as much as I, a
successful poet, make out of verse.
“When they see my poetry in all the
magazines people think that I live
at the Ritz-Carlton. Alas, they don’t
know the magazine poetry rates.
“A young lady said to me the other
day:
“ 'I like your poetry so much. I have
often heard the expression—beautiful
as a poet’s dream. Tell me, what are
poet’s dreams like?’
" ‘Well, my dear young lady,’ I re¬
plied, ‘mine are usually about three
square meals a day, clean linen and
an occasional 6-cent cigar ' ”
Very Different.
“Were the fish biting on your last
country trip?’’
“No, but the dogs were.”

STATE'S RESOURCES
GOVERNMENT CENSUS BUREAU
PUBLISHES BULLETIN OF AS¬
SETS OF THIS STATE.
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES
Western and Atlantic Railway is Val
ued at Twent Million Dollars by
United States Appraisers.
—Atlanta.
William J. Harris, director of the
census, made public an advance re¬
port on the state of Georgia’s debt and
taxation figures.
The value of the Western and At¬
lantic railroad, fixed at $20,000,000 in
the comptroller general’s report for
1912, is taken into consideration, the
census bureau shows that state’s in¬
come bearing property far exceeds its
$7,000,000 of bonded indebtedness. The
report continues:
"In the entire United States the
only states having a larger amount of
revenue-producing property or securi¬
ties comparable to this Hem of Geor¬
gia’s are Massachusetts, which has
$46,00,000 in tiiis class; Minnesota,
which has $2,7,000,00; New York,
which has $2^,000,000, and Texas,
which has $69,000,000.
“This item, of course, does not in¬
clude public buildings, nor does it in¬
clude public lands still owned by states
or by state institutions.
“In Ibo'j the total debt of Georgia,
at the close of the fiscal year Septem¬
ber 30, was $9,919,000; in 1912 it had
been reduced to $6,934,000. The popu¬
lation of the state increased from 1,-
542,0CC in 18S0 to 2,697,000 in 1912. In
1880 the per capita debt was $6.43, de¬
creasing steadily with each year until
it amounted to $2.57 in 1912. in con¬
trast witl) the state of Georgia we find
that taking the entire debt (less sink¬
ing fund assets) for the fortyeight
states the per capita debt according to
tlie latest reports is $3.52.”
Big Profit in Live Stock Raising.
Brooks county holds the distinction
<7l producing and selling more bacon
than any other county in Georgia.
Twenty-two wagon loads of cured ba¬
con, amounting to 46,000 pounds, were
delivered at Quitman in one day re¬
cently. Last year Brooks county, ac¬
cording to report issued by the United
States department of agriculture,
raised the meat necessary for home
consumption, shipped out several car¬
loads of hogs, and in addition sold 150,
000 pounds of bacon at an average
price of 14 cents per pound. This year
it is estimated that Brooks county will
sell 250,000 pounds of bacon in addi¬
tion to what is needed for home con¬
sumption. About 1,000 head of fat. cat
tie will also be marketed In the county.
The raising of live stock has not been
accomplished at the sacrifice of
other crops, but has Been produced in
addition to the regular crops, witii the
result that those who have taken up
this line of work are becoming the
leading and most prosperous farmers
in the country. The cash receipts for
live stock and bacon shipped from the
county is near $100,000. What is being
done in Brooks county it is believed
can be done in every county in the
south. $75,000 to $100,000 distributed
each year among the farmers of each
county in the state would make a won¬
derful difference in the general busi¬
ness conditions in Georgia.
Traveling Men Win.
After seven years of strenuous fight¬
ing between the traveling men of the
state and the railroads, an agreement
was reached before the railroad com¬
mission which will permit the sale of
“stop-over” tickets on all railway lines.
The “stop-over” ticket ends the long
dispute. Traveling men are elated
over the victory. Under the agree¬
ment, the railroads will restore within
the next ten days all former inter¬
changeable mileage which was remov¬
ed from sale after the commission's
order some time ago to the effect that
mileage be pulled on the trains, which
order was upheld by the supreme
court.
The new stop-over tickets will be
put on sale by June 1 at all regular
railway ticket offices, and will be sub¬
ject to the usual rules and regulation
pertaining to tiie checking and trans¬
portation of baggage and effects.
The “stop-over” ticket means that
its purchaser, if he, for an illustration,
be en route to Savannah, can stop over
at any of the intermediate points for
a period of five days, without being
forced to buy another ticket.
Perry Not In Treasurer's Race.
A short while ago it was stated that
Editor Ben F. Perry of the Jonesboro
News, would probably be a candidate
for state treasurer. He has just an¬
nounced, however, that he will not en¬
ter the contest. In announcing his de¬
cision, Mr. Perry is grateful to his
many friends in all parts of the state—
newspaper men, bankers and others—
for their kind expressions.

She Lost no Time in Profit¬

Miami, Okla.—-’’One of my neigh¬
bors,” says Mrs. Hannah M. Turley, of
this town, “came to my house last
week, and said: 'Mrs. Turley, what
did you take to help you so quickly?’
I told her it was just Cardui, the
woman’s tonic, and she said: ‘I wish
I looked as well as you do.’ I told her
if she would only get $5.00 worth of
Cardui, and take it, she would. So
she sent her husband to town to get
the Cardui, and commenced taking it.
She looked so pale and sick ali the
time, but is beginning to look better
already.
As to how it helped me—I suffered
for about 5 years, with womanly trou¬
bles, and became so weak and ner¬
vous, and would suffer such pain
every month, that I thought, at times,
I would die. Was in such condition
that I couldn’t do my work half of
the time, and would have awful smoth¬
ering spells.
My husband bought me a full treat¬
ment of Cardui (6 bottles) and I can
truthfully say that after I took the
last bottle I was well. Am enjoying
the best of health now, and am so
thankful to Cardui.”
Take Cardui for your trouble. You
will never regret it. Begin today. Ask
your nearest druggist.

Slaton Will Not Resign.
Governor Slaton, who last week an¬
nounced that he would be a candidate
for the unexpired term of the late
Senator Bacon, will not resign the
governor’s office until after the pri¬
mary elections on August 19.
Governor Slaton made this very
clear. He said:
"I was elected governor for a two
year term by the people, and when I
resign it v/ill be by the authority and
command of the people themselves.
“If the people in the primary record
it as their will that I shall leave the
governorship and represent them in
the United States senate then, of
course, I will resign, and in doing so
I will obey the mandate of the peo¬
ple. I would not. feel authorized to
resign the governorship until 1 had
consulted the people. They elected
me to the governorship and it is for
them to say whether I shall be pro¬
moted to the senate.
“By the time the primary is held the
legislature will have adjourned, and
the period between then and the inaug¬
uration of a new governor will be an
interregnum, so to speak. I will have
accomplished all I can accomplish,
as there will be no more sessions of
the general assembly during my term
of office.”

On account of the high cost of beef

difficulty with which that institution
makes both ends meet. It is stated
that unless the state asylum can get

Failing to get this in satisfactory form,
he has assessed the company’s proper¬

sins of omission and commission, in
which the author decried the importa¬

birds "to decorate our gentlewomen,”
G. K. Chesterton says: "This is a
real wrong and a scandal. I am
against gentlewomen being decorated.
They have their rouge and their hair
dye. Why cannot they be content to
be disguised?"
Business Proposition.
A boy who had done something to
incur the wrath of his mother and
then had taken to his heels was hotly
pursued for some distance by her.
Finding it was useless to continue the
pursuit, and almost beside herself
with rage, the old lady shouted at the
top of her voice: ‘Til give anybody
a dime to catch that boy!” The boy
instantly stepped and, turning round,
shouted in reply : "Give me the dime
and I’ll come back.”
