THE NORTH GEORGIAN (SUCCESSOR TO THE NORTH GEORGIA BAPTIST.) Entered at the postofflce at Cun teilng, Ga., as second class matter. -•~ni ' ■" i 5B& The practice of Upping has become so general and Is considered so neces sary, laments the Philadelphia Press, that it has become substantially a tax on incomes. The sugar trust has been cheating the government for ten years. Yet the government is kinder to the sugar trust, asserts the Rochester Herald, than to any other in the country. Says the Springfield Union: It is desirable that the letting of boats to persons Incompetent to manage them ■ should be discouraged, and perhaps this end can best be attained tnrough a licensing system, putting every per ■ son in the business of letting boats in danger of losing his privilege if he disregarded the regulations laid down. That “white woodchuck with pink eyes,’’ whose capture is reported from North Andover in the common wealth of Massachusetts, must be that same "groundhog” who annually on Candlemas day comes forth from his hole, looks around, sometimes sees his shadow and sometimes does not, and incidentally causes so much comment In the newspapers. He should be released at once, demands the New Haven Register, for he is an Indispensable institution. Referring to the gasoline stench so often left in the wake of automo biles, a French traveler said to the Washington Post: "What is the mat ter with your health bureaus? Do your health officers have an idea that gas oline fumes are beneficial to the gen eral health and welfare? Gasoline fumes are poisonous. What’s the mat ter with you people? Why don’t you protestftgainst this nuisance? Those guilty of the fume nuisance are ar rested in Paris and other parts of Eu- Kps*'- The fact is, the horrors of war are It being brought to the attention of a multitude of “average citizens’’ all ■ over the world by the growing econo mic strain of preparation for war, af firms the Providence Journal. That such preparation may be charged off to insurance against the war does not moderate the feeling that it is prov ing altogether too costly. That war is not the worst of evils may be ad mitted without relieving discontent at the obvious evils apparently made necessary for its prevention. No one will protened, argues the Philadelphia Inquirer, that in and of themselves the ancient Greek and Ro man writers furnish a pabulum that is directly and immediately practical for those who do not expect to leueli them. They have their merits as liter ature, but the study of them produces some very "practical results.” The young man who is able to read in the orignal with more or less ease the dra mas of Aeschylus or the Odes of Hor ace has passed through a mental dis cipline which, if he have any adapta bility at all, will be of use to him as much in a mining camp, a steel mill or grocery store as in a lecture room, lie has been obliged to put the gray material in his brain to very diversi fied uses and has accomplished the task of adjusting his mind to abstruse with definite results. It is a fact that many of the most successful men in business today have studied the clas sics. The English may be looked upon as the most successful administrators of the world, the men who have gone farthest and accomplished most. Yet the men of England who have done things were early schooled in the classics to a degree that would be im possible here. It is not Plautus or Ter ence or Sappho that is being studied so much as that the mind is being plowed and harrowed and developed so as to seize the exact situation in anv given set of circumstances. The American young men who omit clas sical study are one-sided and these are they who suffer most in those per iods of depression when the "engi neers,” as most scientifically trained young men bre called, are not need ed, and they can do nothing outside their narrow self-imposed limitations. COTTON NEEDS RAIN improvement Is Shown in Some of the States. BOLL WEEVILS NUMEROUS The Crop Promise Is Still Uncertain, But With Favorable Weather a Fair Yield Can Be Made. Memphis, Tenn.—The following is the Commercial-Appeal’s summary of the week's cotton crop condition: Returns from the cotton crop this week are mixed. Improvement is noted in Georgia, Alabama, Missis sippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma and northern' and eastern Texas. No improvement or loss occurred in North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, and central, southern and western Texas. The plant in Arkai: as, Oklahoma and northern Texas is large, fruiting well, thrifty and full of promise. East of the Mississippi river, although im provement has taken place as noted, the plant is small and not always healthy and apparently stands are bad. The crop promise is regarded as still uncertain, although wVi fa vorable weather for the remainder of the season, a fair yield can be made. Heavy rains in North and South Carolina delayed cultivation and much grass is still complained of. Dry weather there is greatly desired. Much apprehension exists throughout cen tral and western Texas of a sum mer drought. It has not rained there for two weeks or more and tem peratures have been very high. The plant show's the effect. As yet no great damage has resulted, but it is believed that the crop has reached a point where it will soon deteriorate without moisture. 801 l weevils are nu merous in Louisiana, but complaints are not frequent. New Orleans, La.— The Times-! Democrat, in its summary of cotton crop conditions, based on reports from correspondents in every section of the south, says “the concensus of opinion is to the following effect: “Taking the belt as a whole, there has been distinct improvement since (Tie last report. "The crop is late, as a rule, but has been industriously worked -wherever the meteorological conditions were favorable. There has been some ad ditional reduction of acreage, through forced abandonment. There are com plaints of 'boll tyeeyil frorn sections of Mississippi, LouisiaiET, ’Arkansas and Texas, but it is too soon as yet to forecast the ultimate damage. Despite the improvement during the month, the situation still presents grave pos sibilities, and the plant, being small and puny, is peculiarly subject to dam age front premature frost.” GIKLS WALK WHiLE ASLEEP.

Washington, D. C. —The so-called "elevator allowance” to dealers in hay, grain and grain products at Nashville, Tenn., was declared to be unlawful discrimination in a decision announced by the interstate com i merce commission. The complaint was brought by com mercial houses in Atlanta and other Georgia cities, which alleged that the carriers have granted to Nashville un due preference in the handling of grain, grain products and hay from Ohio and Mississippi river crossings to southeastern destinations, thereby eliminating competition with the southeastern territory. The commission held that ‘the cir cumstances and conditions prevailing at Nashville are not so dissimilar from those prevailing at other points in the southeast as to warrant a con tinuance of this privilege at Nashville without undue discrimination, to the prejudice and disadvantage of points in that territory not having a simi lar privilege.” It was held further that “this priv ilege operates as a device by which traffic may move at less than the law ful ttriff rate.” The defendants which include prac tically all of the lines operating in the southeastern territory, are order ed to cease paying -by September 1, next, any allowance for elevation, un loading or handling grain, grain prod ucts or hay at Nashville, or for re billing or reshipping such products at Nashville. They are directed to file tariffs with the commission in con sonance with the order. ECONOMY ON ISTHMUS. No More Carriages for Government Officials. Washington, D. C. —The wave of economy first noticed at Washington some time after the advent of the j Taft administration is reported as I having arrived at the isthmian canal I zone. Its first effect was to sweep | away nearly all the government cal> i riages used by the commissioners and j other officials on the zone. Colonel J GoethaTs, chairman of the canal com mission, lias issued an order discon tinuing the use of these carriages and directing the chief quartermaster to sell all transportation equipment on hand, with the exception of a few sur reys to be used exclusively for the transaction of public business. Non# of these is for the use of any mem ber of the commission. In contrast with this policy is to be noticed the methods of the French during their attempt to construct the canal.

'.*• City a Thousand Years old. Budapest, whose front is circled with lights like a crown, whose hill 9 rise d;rk and feathery above tbo riv er, whose Parliament buildings run along the bank and are second to none but Westminster —Budapest, bright, flashing, gay, beautiful, mod ern and rich, ardent and executive, close-built and amalgan.ative —blend- er of peoples—is the product of on'y a few decades, and yet at its las. exposition it celebrated its thou sandth birthday. Pest, to the right of the river—for the cities are twin and divided by the Danube —Pear, dates back to 1200; and Buda was theOfen of the Romans. Buda climbs up the opposite hill, today magnifi cently new, but sown round with green crumbling walls that mark the passing of the original founders whose painted gallery came up the Danube from, the Black Sea. The ■twentieth-century civilization, sharp ly new and powerful, must for a mo ment be brushed aside and the Buda of medieval times put in its stead — Marie Van Vorst, in Harper’s Maga zine.

The story of great discoveries or inventions is always of interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct, was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words, before he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renew his physi cal and'mental strength. He knew that a food which was a brain and nerve builder (rather than a mere fat maker) was universally needed. He knew that meat withj the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centres is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. The he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. It contains the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seen in a marked stur diness and activity of the brain and nervous system, making It a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a stimulant, but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavour is charming, and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the | factory it is served instantly with !cream. * . The signature of the brara. worker Ispoken of, C. W. Post, is to Vo seen on each genuine package of Grftpe- Nuts. N Look in pkgs. for the famous lit- itie book, “The Road to Wellvlße.” "There’s a Reason.” Do You Get Up With, a Lame Back?
