The most recent church census of
the country shows 40 denominations,
with 161,731 ministers, 210,199 church
e» and 32,983,156 members.
Most of the counties of the state
show a very gratifying increase In tax
returns. The total increase for the
state will be about $20,000,wv, which
will be more than double the gain of
last, year over 1907.
An advertisement is to a merchant
very much what sowing seed is to a
farmer, it may take a little time for
the results to become apparent, but
they are sure to come.
It has been estimated that the
amount of wood annually consumed
in the United States at the present
time is 23,000,000,000 cubic feet,
while the growth of the forest is on
ly 7,000,000,000 feet. The figures are
based upon a large number of state
and local reports collected by the
government and upon actual measure
ments.
At the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church held recently at
Denver, Colo., resolutions were pass
<•<l to appeal to Congress for temper
ance legislation, under the following
special points: That the receipt of
revenue in any form from the liquor
traffic he discontinued. That the Fed
oral government shall no longer is
sue tax receipts in prohibition terri
tory. That a prohibitory zone twenty
five miles wide bo established around
every Indian reservation. That the
mulls bo closed to the advertising or
the distribution of liquor. These res
olutions are in line with those adopt
ed by the National W. C. T. U. at
its convnetion last October, and
doubtless express the hopes of a great.
mass of tile people of the nation.— i

The poetoffice department has for a
number of years been using every en
deavor within the limits of its juris-:
diction to secure the improvement of
the public highways. It is a primary
essential that roads over which rural ■
delivery service is established shall be
maintained in condition to be traveled
with ease and facility at ail seasons i
This does not necessarily moan that
the roads shall be of the highest ini
proved type, but it does mean that
they shall be kept smooth, fee
from ruts and drained. When- j
ever report Is made to the de
part meat that roads on which a rural
route is established are in bad condl
tion. impeding the progress of the car
rier or causing the service to be de
layed or suspended, the road officials,
postmaster and patrons are immedi
ately notified that, unless steps are
taken within a reasonable time to
improve the condition of the roads,
service will be withdrawn from .such
roads. These notices usually result
in prompt and favorable action, but
when ignored, the service is with
drawn.
BOARD ®F EDUCATION
Select* Site for New School Building
In Bethel District.
The county board of education held
a meeting Tuesday for the purpose of
locating a site for a new school build
ing in the Bethel school district. The
school house in that district was burn
ed down several weeks ago and some
of the patrons of Ute school did not
want to rebuild on the old site, and
the matter was referred to the board
of education.
The members of the board met at
Bethel one day last week to look over
the different sites offered but did not
com.- to any decision at that time.
At the meeting Tuesday it was de- '
elded to locate the school on the hill
just north of the old site, on the land 1
of D B. Scott. The trustees are ne- '
rottatina with Mr. Scott for the pur
chase of this property and If a deal '
Is closed work on the new school 1
building will be startl'd right away.
It is hoped that this will be a satis- ,
factory solution of the school ques
tion in Bethel district.

'NO CHANOI* MADR
IN PENSION LAWS
There were no changes made in
the pension laws of Georgia at the
recent session of the legislature. The
Senate failed to pass the bill design
ed to Increase the class
of persons entitled to pensions and
the measure goes over to the next
session as unfinished business. The
bill was designed to grant pensions
to all Confederate -soldiers having
less than $1,500 worth of property an
to widows of Confederates who mar
ried again prior to 1870, and who have
no more than $1,500 worth of proper
ty.
Ordinary Johnston is in receipt of
the following letter from the State
Pension Commissioner in regard to
the pension laws.
Dear Judge: I hasten to advise
you at the earliest day possible after
the adjournment, of the General As
sembly of the status of the legisla
tion presented affecting the Pension
laws.
The bill to regulate and fix the
fees of the Ordinaries for their pen
sion work passed. It allows a fee of
SI.OO annually for each pensioner on
the rolls Those on the indigent,
rolls are to be paid by the county out
of the pauper fund; those on the dis
abled and first class widows rolls are
to be paid out of their annual pension
The bill that passed the House of
Representatives by a vote of 129 to
7 to put in force the new Constitu
tional amendment that provides a
pension for all Confederate soldiers,
and the widows of Confederate sol
diers married prior to the Ist of Janu
ary, 1870, not worth over Fifteen
Hundred Dollars, was at a late hour
on Tuesday night tabled in the appro
priation committee of the Senate,
thereby refusing to report the bill
back to the Senate that it might be
read the second time and go to the
Calendar for its passage on the last
day of the session. This action of the
committee carries the bill over as
unfinished business to the session of
1910. I am sure the bill would have
passed in the Senate had it come to
a vote.
Therefore, no change has been
made tliat affects the present pension
laws. You can use the blanks as
heretofore, and if you have none, or
der you a supply at once, that all
who desire to apply for a pension
under the present law may make and
file their application in this office be
fore October Ist next.
Yours respectfully.
J. W. LINDSEY,
Commissioner of Pensions.
People Anxious to Learn About Tu
burculosis.
Evidence of the popular interest in
the anti-consumption crusade is giv
en in a statement made by the Na
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis, to the
! effect that during the year ending
August 31, nearly 3,000,00(1 people
j have attended tuberculosis exhibitions
in various parts of the country.
Besides the three traveling tuber
< ulosis exhibitions of the National As
sociation for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis, there are twenty
eight exhibits of this kind in various
parts of the country. Four years ago
there were only three such displays
in the entire country.
Over 300.000 people have attended
the three traveling exhibits of the Na
tional Association for the Study and
prevention of tuberculosis which have
visited ten different states and terri-
■ tories during the year just closed. The
three exhibits are now stored for the
summer months.
The Southern Exhibit has been
shown in Tennessee, Alabama. Flori
da. and Georgia in ten different cit
; 'cs and has been viewed by about
100,000 people. Thousands of others
have been reached by the literature
and posters distributed, so that the:
number of people who have been ed
ucated directly or indirectly about tu
burculoais by this exhibit is consider
ably over 300.000,
As a direct result of these exhibi
tion campaigns, laws relating to the ‘
anti-tuberculosis campaign have been
passed in Tennessee, Florida, Nebras
ka, Kansas and Porto Rico. In the
latter territory, a comprehensive gov
ernmental campaign against tubercu
losis has been started. Another re
sult of the work has been that near
ly a million people have received in
losis, and the ways to prevent it.
struction about the dangers of tuberm
A plan that might well be carried
out by the merchants of any town
who have the comfort and welfare of
their country patrons at heart is
the equipping of some room in the
town conveniently located where
tl.e farmers’ wives who come to mar
ket and often bring little children
with them might go to rest. The de
tails of the plan could be worked out
by any wide awake committee, and
the rest room provided with as many

GEORGIA HAS 1,594
RURAL MAIL ROUTES.
Washington, D. C. Aug. 16. —In a
statement issued today by the Post
office Department it is shown that
on August 2, 1909, there were in
operation 40,919 rural postal routes
in the United States served by 40,-
; 804 carriers.
While some of the Southern
States were slow to recognize the
advantages of rural delivery, this
i can not be said of Georgia, for it is
a matter of record that long before
there were as many as half a dozen
applications for the service pre-
I sented from some of the neighbor
ing states, there were in operation
in Georgia several hundred routes
and petitions pending for as many
more.
The first rural route in the State
was established out of the postoffice
at Quitman, December, 1896.
On Auguest 1, 1909, there were
in operation in Georgia, 1,594 rural
routes and there are pending, un
acted upon, 59 petitions for addi
tional service.
Service has been organized on a
county basis in 32 counties and oth
er counties will be taken up for re
organization as rapidly as condi
• tions will permit. The reason that
so many routes were put into op
eration in Georgia and other states
was the foresight of the people in
promptly presenting their petitions.
Rural carriers in Georgia travel
dally except Sundays and holidays
nearly 40,000 miles of highway and
serve about 630,000 rural residents.
Since the establishment of the first
route in the State extension and
maintenance of the service in Geor
gia has cost the government about
$6,700,000, the present annual rate
of cost being a little more than sl,-

Pertaining to Fish.
Blessings on thee, little man! Go
a-fishing when you can. Never mind the
teacher's rule not to run away from
school. Take your bait and alder pole
and then hunt the deepest hole where
the wary troutlets hide by the canyon
streamlet’s side. You’ll get licked at
home, of course, and you’ll suffer great
remorse, but when daddy sees your
string he’ll gasp and say, "By jing!”
And his rod and reel he'll snatch and
start out to make a catch when your
jacket he doth tan. Blessings on you.

Clothes and the Man.
Man is in some sort a slave to his
clothes, and there are many men who
dislike wearing the same clothes on
two consecutive days, more particu
larly the necktie. For the first two
or three things you look at when you
meet a man are his eyes and his neck
tie. And there is a sort of underlying
consciousness as you face the morning
world that your tie must be straight
and clean and new. Rut to this end
' you must buy the cheap tie and throw
it away with your sins before going to
bed.—London Chronicle.
A Curiosity.
"What in the world have you got

Thrifty.
A Scotsman and his wife were trav
eling from Leith to London by boat.

"Dinna think o’ deein’ yet.” answered

Men and Their Feet.
The Frenchman’s foot is long, nar

Scotchman’s foot, according to anthro
pologists, is high and thick, strong,
muscular and capable of hard work.
The Russian's foot possesses one pe
culiarity, the toes being generally
“webbed” to the first joint. The Tar
tar’s foot is short and heavy, the foot
of a certain type of savage, and the
toes are the length. The Span
iard’s foot is generally small, but fine

Javelle Water.
Wherever water is used in preparing
bleaches it should be soft. The alkali
in hard water affects all chemical sub
stances. Javelle water is a standard
preparation for bleaching white things
"nd removing spots and stains, but it
must not touch colored surfaces. To
make it dissolve half a pound of wash
ing soda in a pint of boiling water and
mix it with a quarter pound of chloride
of lime dissolved in a quart of boiling
water. Stir well, let settle, pour off
the clear liquid and keep closely corked
in a dark place.
