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. Toxas leads all of the states in rail road mileage, having 12.494 miles of track. Illinois is next with 12.188 miles, and Pennsylvania third, with UJtt.

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. '• [ MRS. L. M. LANDRUM.

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 Application for Administration GEORGIA —Chattooga county. To al! whom it may concern: Mrs. Dora Henry having in proper form, I applied to me for permanent admin istration on the estate of W. F. Hen ry. Jr., to be and appear at my of fice within the time allowed by law and show cause if any they can why permanent administration should not be granted to Mrs. Dora Henry on W. F. Henry, Jr., estate. Witness my hand and official sig nature, this 2nd day of August, 1909. J. P. Johnston, Ordinary. RAISES PROPERTY VALUES $912,555. 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.
