Under the new convict law,
where a county does not take its
legal porata of convicts, and
they are apportioned to some oth
er county or counties, the latter
musi ultimately pay such county
back in convicts when it calls for
them for work on its public roads
Or, it is possible, under the law,
for a county to call for its con
victs and turn them over to some
other county for a cash consider
ation, the money to be expended
in improving the public roads of
the county so selling its convicts

The transformation of Ireland
from a country of tenant farmers
and absentees landlords into a
country of peasant proprietor
proceeds apace. In single months
negotiations covering the pur
chase of as many as 5000 farms,
have been completed. Since the
passage of the act of 1903, notes
the New York Mail, the latest
official report shows purchase
agreements to the number of 166,
898 have been lodged, and loans
applied for to the Government
under the act to the amount of
$288,742,305.

Some merchants want anewspa
per to everlaatilgly preach against
people sending money off to mail
order houses when as a matter
of fact these same merchants rare
ly ever try to counteract the in
fluence of the mail order business
by calling attention of customers
to the bargains they themselves
may have to offer, says The
Qui t man Free Press. One good
way at least, to put the mail or
der house out of business is for
local merchants to fight them
with tJie same kind of fire they
use. Tell the people intelligent
ly and constantly what you have
to offer them and show them
how low you will sell. Then
above all live up o what you ad
vertise.

i A. i Unjust Charge
A m v dispatch from Atlanta,
evidently originating in the of
fice of th pension commissioner
says: “Lt is a well known fact
that as compared vith other sec
tions of the state, the mountain
counties furnished fewer soldiers
to the Confederate forces, and
yet the pension rolls show a far
greater proportion of pensioners
* in that section. This is confined
, to one or two counties but in
cludes practically all of them.”
> In this connection the counties
comprising the Ninth district are
• especially mentioned and criti
t cised. The charge may be true
of the ninth district, but
it is utterly untrue in regard to
the Seventh district embracing
the mountain counties of north-
I west Georgia.
The counties composing the
Seventh district sent as many sol
’ diers Io the war as any other
section of the stite, in proportion
to population, and their record
on the fighting lines of Lee, Jack
son and Johnson challenges the<
record of the bravest men who ei
er went to war for any cause.
The history of Gen. “Tige” An
derson ’s brigade, made up main
ly in North Georgia, is one that
'will live in history, and this is
but one instance of many other
. commands in the war which went
from that part of the state.
It is just as well to keep the
record straight, and give honor
to whom honor is due. Quitman

The increase in the alien pop
ulation of the I nited States in

According to the New York
World the Democratic party is
neither dead nor half-dead. It
polled 6,393,183 votes last fall,
an increase of 1,31'5,211 over 1904
as against a Republican increase
of 14,190. Il elected Governors in
14,190. It eleted Governors in
Ohio, Indianna, Minnesota, Ne
braska, Colorado, Montana, and
North Dakota. It has gained a
United States Senator in Indiana
and also in Oregon. “Statistics
however, tell only a small part
of the story of the rehabilitation
of the Democratic party,” says
The World. “The old factional
feuds are dead. The country is
united again. It is in better con
dition than it has been since 1892
and has every prospect of being
in still better condition two years
from now than it is today.
FIGHT ON BOLL WEEVIL
'l'he action of the house in
: voting $146,000 to fight the boll
weevil in the south means much
for the cotton planters, who have
already suffered greatly from
| these pests, which are no longer
confined to Texas, but are spread
Ing all over the cotton belt.
According to reports the boll
weevil has crossed the Mississip
pi, and its ravages will cover the
Delta and perhaps one-half of
Mississippi this year.
The fight that the government
is making, aided by the states, is
one of education. 'l’he farmers
are taught how to minimize the
| number of the pests and how to
grow a pretty good crop despite
their nestings in the bolls and tht
1 ravenous attacks on the plant in
general. The proposed appropri
ation will no doubt be accepted
by the senate ami become a law.
and it will go a long way toward
arming the farmers for the battle
against the destructive insect.

emplary life.
In the Bethel Presbyterian
church, where he has served as
. an Elder for years and as Sun

Fell from Scaffold
and injured His Back
Thirty years ago James C. Lee
)f 1100 9th., S. E. Washington, D
C., fell from a scaffold and se
riously injured his baek. In tell
ing about it he says: “My suf
fering was terrible; from the
small of my back all around my
stomach was just as if I had been
beaten with a club. I tried all
kinds of plasters, belladonna, cap
cine, and porous plasters, without*
getting relief, and bought so
called electric belts, but none of
them did me any good.
One day while working near mj
daughter's house, my baek pain
ed so badly that I had to quit. 1
went into the house and lay dowi
for ease. My daughter had a bot
tle of Sloan’s Liniment in the
house and she rubbed my baek
well with it and gave me some to
take home. I used six and a half
bottles of Sloan's 25c Liniment
and can do as much work now as
' any man in the shop, although I
I am sixty-seven years old. would
not be without Sloan's Liniment i
for any consideration and recom
mend it to anyone suffering pain .1
LAWRENCE—MORELAND
The many friends of Miss Geor
gia Lawrence, who has been in
Jacksonville, Fla., since Christ-,
mas, will be interested to learn
of her marriage to Dr. J. D More
land, of Comancha, Texas. .
This news will bring a surprise
to the friends of Miss Lawrence
in Rome, though not to her fam
ily, as the marriage was a culmi
nation of a romance that began
more than two years ago. When
Dr. Moreland was a student at
the Atlanta Dental College he
met Miss Lawrence and they be
came engaged soon afterward.
After graduating with honors at
Atlanta the doctor went to Tex
as to establish a home for his
bride.
After gaining the consent of
her parents the young couple
agreed to meet at Shreveport, La.
and the marriage took place there
on Sunday morning.
Dr. and Mrs. Moreland left im
mediately for their home in Tex
as.
Mrs. Moreland is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Lawrence
of Subligna, Ga., and while a res
ident of Rome she won many
friends by her accomplishments
and grace of manner. Hearty con
gratulations will follow the coup

Strenuous Fatalism.
Old Abe Cruger lived in New
England in the days of Indian war
fare. He was a fatalist of a pro
nounced type. Nevertheless he
would not venture forth without his
blunderbuss. One day he had an
important errand, but the blunder
buss, when he came to get it, was
missing from the rack made of an
tlers where it always hung. Some
one of his family had taken it. Abe
sat down to wait till it was brought
back.
“But, Abe, I thought you were a
fatalist?” said a friend.
“So I am,” the old man an
swered.
“Then why bother about your
blunderbuss?” taunted the friend.
“You are in no danger from the In
dians, since you can’t possibly die
till your time comes.”
“Yes,” said the old man, “but
suppose I was to meet an Indian
and his time had come. It wouldn’t
do for me not to have my blunder
busa, would it ?”
Disenchanted.
“Yes,” she admitted, with a sad
little sigh, “there was a time when
I thought him the grandest man in
the world —when I fancied that
nothing could ever make me cease
to love him.”
“Well,” her friend replied, “I
suppose we are all doomed to these
disenchanting experiences. We have
only to become acquainted with a
man to discover that he is not the
god we had supposed him to be.”
"But it wasn’t becoming ac
quainted with him that destroyed
my ideal. I am sure that I could
still think him splendid if I had
never seen him in ridina breeches ”

No man better exemplifies this description than Col. William Camp, whose

A BUDDING GENIUS.
Ambitions and Hard Work of the Boy
Saint Gaudens.
Immediately on being appren
ticed to A vet I applied for admis-1
sion to the drawing school of the ■
Cooper institute, and every even-'
ing after my return from work at
6 o’clock and a hasty tea 1 went
down there, where my artistic edu
cation began.
I can recall there the kindly im-!
pression produced on me by Abram |
S. Hewitt as he glanced at me dur
ing some function. Father at that
time was making shoes for the
Cooper family, and I suppose that
that is why he looked at me. The
feeling of profound Jtfatitude for
the help which 1 have had from
that institution abides with me to
this day.
It was during the next two or
three years that my first aspirations
and ambitions made themselves
felt. I became a terrific worker,
toiling every night until 11 o’clock
after the Cooper institute was over,
in the conviction that in me anoth
er heaven born genius had been
given to the world.
I can recall thinking in public
conveyances that if the men stand
ing on the platform around me
could realize how great a genius
was rubbing elbows with them in
the quiet looking boy by their side
they would be profoundly impress
ed. As a result, I was so exhausted
by the confining work of cameo
cutting by day and by drawing at
night that in the morning I was
literally dragged out of bed by
mother, pushed over to the wash
stand, where I gave myself a cat’s !
lick somehow or other, driven to
the seat at the table, administered
my breakfast, which consisted of
tea and large quantities of the long
French loaves of bread with butter,
and tumbled downstairs, out into
the street, where 1 awoke. —“Rem-
