Entered at the Summerville Post
Office as Second Clavs Mail Matter.
Summerville, Ga., Sep. 2, 1909
Where The Remedy Lies.
The remedy for the mail order bus
iness rests with home merchants, if
instead of sitting down in despair or
gloomily telling people how their
trade is cut by the mail order
houses, they would but imitate some
of the features of those houses, and
then go one better, they would have
no cause to complain of poor trade.
It is by profuse and timely adver
tising and by getting that advertis
ing Into the homes, the mail order
business thrives. Too often the
home merchant contents himself with
a small unattractive ad that does not
appeal to people. When that Is the
case he alone is to blame if the
mall order house gets the best of him.
Let the home merchant catch the
eye by generous and timely advertis
ing in which the quality and variety
of his goods are set forth. Let him
also point out how in the home store
tile customer sees the goods before
he buys them, that if his credit is
good credit is given, and that there
are no vexatious delays in delivering
the goods (all of which are advanta
ges the customer of a mail order
house never has) and business will
flourish.
It may bo said that people know
this already. Probably they do, but
it Is necessary to get them to real
ize it, and that is done by constantly
keeping at it.
The resent special session of Con
gress cost the country a half million,
so it has been figured, ilut that’s on
ly a small part of what the public
will have to pay.
Tornado at Monterey, Mexico.
News from Monterey, M<x., under
date of August 30, state that the re
sult of the tornado ami < loud burst
ia that city was most appailng 2.000
people w<ro drowned In tie flood, 20.
000 are homeless, the property loss
will reach 120.000,000, Ulen, women
and children are drifting on rafts and
hundreds are starving for food. The
district west from Matamaras to Tor
r< on, a distance of 300 miles, and
South 400 miles, is practically all un
der water —many towns are oestroy
<ml, crops are ruined, railroads washed
out, bridges are gone, telegraph and
t< lephone wires are down, and every
where is the sickening sight of death
in its most terrible form.
The American consuls are trying to
find if any of the 3,000 Americans in
Monterey have perished.
Troops have been put to work where
It is possible to send wagon trains
oi provisions, bedding, tents and med
icines.
Monopolies and the public good are
always at variance for the reason
that monopolies exist to enrich the
few at the expense of the many. In
England as far back as the seven
teenth century this was painfully re
allzed when the Stuart kings granted
monopolies on salt and other articles
to their favorites. The same thing :
is being realized today in our own
land. It is true that monopolies are
not granted by any chief executive,
but the effect is the same. The growth
of corporations until they are able
to control the whole business in
their several lines and the obtaining of
unfair land, water, mineral and tim
ber concessions from a government
create monopolies just as absolute
and just as vicious in their operations
as any old world or old time mono
poly granted by despotic kings. To t
defeat and stop such a system that
the public good may triumph over
private greed calls for constant vigi
lance, determinations and the in
telligent exercise of those legit
mate powers which the law rightly
vests in the people. In other words
the remedy is to be found in the
choice of law makers who will hon
estly represent the people and in
supporting them when the choice is
made.

THE ORPHAN’S APPEAL.
It was in the long ago that God,
the Father, said: “'The poor shall
never cease out of the land: there
fore I command thee, saying, Thou
shalt open thine hand wide unto thy
; brother, to thy poor, and to thy
needy, in thy land.” Again he said:
"The fatherless which are within thy
gates, shall come and shall eat and
shall be satisfied.” Later, by the
1 mouth of his prophet he said: “Leave
thy fatherless children, I will preserve
i them alive.”
Jesus, the Lord, reiterated the state
i ment made by the Father in the be
ginning, when he said to his disci
ples: “Ye have the poor with you
f -always and whensoever ye will ye may
do them good.”
’.j During all the ages that have pass
ed the number of dependent poor has
increased, the cry of the fatherless
is heard more and more throughout
the world, and the voice of God the
Father, and of Jesus Christ the Son
sounds out over and over again: “The
i poor shall never cease out of the
i land —Whensoever ye will ye may do
, them good.”
The care which we bestow upon the
fatherless is one of the New Testa
i- ments tests of the purity of our reli-
- gion.
God, in his wisdom and mercy, has
so ordained that the strong shall ev
er help the weak —that those who
\ have must share with those who have
1 not.
As the needs have increased the
• ■ love of God, and the love of humani-
ty, has constrained Christian people
’ - to provide homes where dependent or
i : phan children may be cared for and
trained for lives of usefulness.
■ ’ The work of caring for the orphans
• ; has grown until our fair land is dott-
ed over here and there with homes
; that stand with wide open doors to
gather in the homeless ones and save
■ \ them for time and for eternity. But
- i alas, the funds for carrying on the
i work have not increased with the de-
• mand. While hundreds are being res
cued year by year hundreds more are
■ crying for admittance into our Or
phan’s Homes. This cry has become
■ so urgent that Orphanage workers all
over our Southland have agreed to ap
peal to the people to observe one day
during the year as Work Day for the
Orphans. The plan is that every one
t who is able to work shall give the
value of the day’s work for the sup
'■ port of the orphans. Work Day this
f year is Saturday, September the 25th.
We have at the Georgia Baptist
Orphans' Home at Hapeville 180 <■l’ll
- dren to be fed, clothed, and trained.
We are greatly in need of funds with
which to meet our present expenses,
and take in the many more needy
0 ones that are constantly knocking at
our doors for admission.
B Will not the friends of the orphans
observe Work Day and send their
e ! cash contributions to J. J. Bennett,
■. ! Atlanta, Ga. Groceries and other
■ gifts should be sent by freight or
o j express to Hapeville, Ga.
Remember, the only way by which
I God can be “the father of the fath
| erless” is through you, and you, who
read this appeal, whom he has made
j stewards of his bounty.

i phans' Home.
FOR RENT—Two-horse crop. Ap
ply to U. I’. Neal.
WANTED—Two families to pick

sufficient to pick from eight to ten

Did NOT EAT CORN BREAD
BUT DIES OF PELLAGRA.
Atlanta, Ga. —Mrs. Kate Barto, ag
ed 45, died Tuesday morning at 11
: o’clock of pellagra at 63 Walker
' | street.
Mrs. Barto has been sick for some
time and has been attended by Dr.
’ Frank Eskridge. When he was first
called and diagnosed the case he im
mediately pronounced it pellagra.
This is the so-called corn bread
disease, but Mrs. Barto said that
she had never eaten corn bread or
■ corn products of any kind. This is
a decided refutation to the theory
,of many prominent scientific men
that the disease is caused by corn
i bread. Dr. Eskridge gives it as his
j opinion that corn bread may aggra
j 'ate a case, but it is rarely the cause

Walker County Grand Jury Probes
Receiver’s Returns.
Lafayette, Aug. 31.—After a two ■
weeks’ grind, the Walker County Su- '
perior Court has adjourned, having ;
disposed of a heavy civil docket the ■
first week of court. Many cases that .
had been set for this term ■were car- ;
ried over to the February term. The
criminal docket occupied the second
week, and was one of the heaviest
dockets the county has had in some
time.
The grand Jury did not complete
their labors until Friday afternoon,
when their presentments were read
to the court. The presentments
show that the grand jury for the
August term was not idle one mo
ment during the session. Sixty
eight true bills were returned by the
jury. And among other important
business was the raising of property -
! valuation to the amount of $912,555
The jury made a thorough investiga
tion of the tax digest and all pro
: petty found to be given in at under
valuation was raised and the amount
of the raise marked on the tax digest !
which the tax receiver will be com
i pelled to see is given in on his rounds
! next year.
