tribute to the paper. He has been

O
THE CITY LEAGUE.
Here is looking at the city baseball
league which was organized last
night at the court house by an en
thusiastic bunch of fanatics.
It may not be an exaggeration to say
that the national sport has done as
much for America as all the economic
movements combined, inasmuch as it
has furnished straight limbed, red
blooded men to carry out schemes of
government and plan the nation’s
progress.
Baseball is a sport which drives
away dull care and smooths the
wrinkles of worry from the brow, and
he who does not feel a thrill when the
bases are full and a heavy hitter steps
into the plate, is fit for treason, strat
egem and spoils.
"LITTLE JOE’S” MESSAGE.
From every quarter of the state tire
daily newspapers are loud in th"’r
praise of Governor Brown’s retiring
message to the Georgia legislature
and there is one fact worth noting
and that is that these commendary
expressions are from former political
foes as well as from friends.
In fact the opponents of Governor
Brown are so generous in their words
of praise of "Little Joe” that
thoughtful men are pausing to get the
full force of the fact that the gover
nor has made good with a great many
people who were against him at the
time of his election.
Governor Brown’s farewell message
was one of the strongest state docu
ments which Georgia has placed on
file in many yearn. It was clear, con
cise, well balanced and full of recom
mendations, which, if carried out to
the letter, would make a nation sit up
and take notice.
If you failed to read the message,
get a newspaper of June 28 and look
it over. It is worth your time.

MUR RAY j
By W. M. SAPP
Beneath the silent vigil of Old Fort,
Whose contour pieces the skies,
Awing us into reverence,
The fair county of Murray lies.
Peopled by brave scions of patriots,
Ennobled by the march of years,
Through whose veins flows the crimson
Os ancestors without peers.
Dame Nature’s bounteous hand of
plenty
Into Murray’s lap has poured
Untold wealth for the husbandman;
And her mountains with richness
are stored.
Piping peaceful paeans of prosperity,
Over forest, field and fen,
Come zephyrs from the realms of Deus
Laden with the breath of life for
men.
Close to the blue vaulted dome of
heaven,
Old Cohutta’s proud peaks rise,
Pointing forever upward
To the home beyond the skies.
Her varied valleys and clear sheening
streams
Lyric poems constantly raise;
Epics from the hills to the valleys —
All give the Great Architect praise.
(N. B.—The word "lies” in the
first spasm refers to location rather
than a proclivity to disregard truth.)
Old Soldier Tortured.
"For years I suffered unspeakable
torture from indigestion, constipation,
and liver trouble,” wrote A. K.
Smith, a war veteran at Erie, Pa.,
"but Dr. King’s New Life Pills fixed
me all right. They're simply great.”
Try them for any stomach, liver or
kidney trouble. Only 25c at Fincher

o
Wonders of the Sun.
When bees swarm they are led by
a queen. So the sun midheavens
journeys throughout space followed
by a family of worlds, but he is many
times larger than all of them put to
gether. His heat is so great as to be
oppressive at 93.000,000 miles. What
must it be close up? The temperature
of his surface is 18,000 degrees Fahrn
heit, while 100 degrees is almost un
bearable to us. The burning at once
of 11 quadrillions GOO.OOO millions of
tons of coal would not produce the
sun’s heat given off every second.
The light afforded by him every second
is equal to 1.575,000,000.000.000.000.-
000 millions of wax candles. From
him this inconceivable mass of heat
and light has been streaming every
second without any perceptible change
for thousands and thousands of years.
The noise and roar in the sun caused
by flame rushing up to the surface and
plunging down to the center would
kill a man at a distance of 10,000
miles. In 1902 a hole opened up on
its surface 92,000 miles long and 62,-
000 miles wide. It remained open for
months. Seventy worlds as big as
the earth would not have plugged up
its mouth. The sun does not rotate
as a whole. Different parts have dif*
ferent periods. At the equator he
turns over in twenty-five days. Half
way thence to his pole he turns over
. in twenty-seven and a half days, pro
ducing the wildest confusion and up
roar amid the limitless oceans of fire
on his surface. A clock ticks 86,400
times in a day. To tick as many
times as the sun is miles from us a
clock would require to run three
years. You can travel around the
world in sixty days. At this rate on
a journey to the sun you would be 600
years old on your arrival, if you
started as an infant.

A Republic or a Democracy?
No thoughtful citizen can fail to
realize that great and far-reaching
changes in the form of our govern
ment as originally established are im
pending and are in actual progress.
After a century and a quarter of un
precedented national growth and de
velopment under the representative
form of government, many of the
states of the Union have, in recent
years, adopted radical innovations in
that system. If the movement now
well under way continues to spread,
and finally reaches the national gov
ernment, the result must ultimately
be the overthrow of the republic and
the substitution in its place of a pure
democracy.
Our institutions were not hastily
adopted; they should not be thought
lessly discarded. Are we prepared to
make the change?
In considering the issue thus raised
it is well to admit at the outset that
there are defects in our present repre
sentative system of government which
must be corrected. There can be no
pallation for the corruption which,
unfortunately, lias too frequently char
acterized some sessions of the legis
latures of nearly every state in the
Union. The connection between large
private interests and public affairs
has been thoroughly exploited in the
magazines and press of the country.
It is not necessary to our purpose to
consider to what extent the writers
of some of the sensational articles
which have recently appeared have
drawn upon their imaginations in
order to make readable articles and
saleable copies. The real problem is
to find correct and adequate remedies
for such defects as are known to exist
in our present republican form of gov
ernment. Can we correct those evils
without destroying the system? Or
must we, in the face of the fact that
democracies have, in all ages of the
world’s history, led through anarchy
to despotism, passively acquiesce in
the destruction of the republic and the
substitution of a democracy? Will
the impending innovations cure ex
isting defects and remedy the evils
complained of, or will they only aug
ment and intensify them ? These
questions must soon be authoritively
decided by the American people.—
Hon. Robert W. Bonyngs in the June
Forum.
Canada’s Destiny at Stake.
Canada does not like our political
system, and it is true that in some
respects the Canadian system works
better than ours. But Canada’s gen
eral relationships, as neighbor and in
timate associate, ought to be with the
United States. A development of the
British toe that had as its object the
creation of a military power along our
northern frontier, would inevitably
bring about as its logical effect, an
annexation movement that would have
unpleasant features. Canada needs,
practically, neither army nor navy.
If she abstains from the sword she
will be protected and defended in
every emergency. Her close co-opera
tion with the United States need not
diminish her ties of sentiment with
the United Kingdom. It would on the
other hand tend to strengthen the
good understanding of the English
speaking world. Reciprocity as a
means of committing the two halves
of North America to a future of clos
er relationships is a thing to be advo
cated. Meantime there can be no
sound reason why every item of the
pending measure should not be dis
cussed upon its merits, precisely as
is the case with any other tariff bill.
If the sentiment for reciprocity in
the two countries is of such dubious
strength that it requires that this par
ticular measure be gulped down with
closed eyes—lest no sort of reciproci
ty could otherwise ever be agreed
upon —then it would seem as if the
subject had better wait for further
maturing of public opinion—American
Review of Reviews.

WHAT MAKES A TOWN’
CONTRIBUTED BY FOSTER SEEBOLD
What makes a town anyway?
Is it the wealth evidenced by fine
homes and splendid store buildings?
These may attest the stability and
thrift of certain people, but they of
fer no great inducements to commer
cial progress.
Is it the spirit of good order and
law observance? That is a factor on
ly. The sleepiest old hamlets that
dot the maps have this spirit in rank
abundance.
Is it the schools and church? May
their number ever increase, but they
don’t make a town —they only cul
ture it.
Is it the geographical location, the
character of the surrounding country,
shipping facilities, the natural advan
tages,? None of these is essential.
Well, what makes a town anyway?
DEEDS, NOT WORDS.
Dalton People Have Absolute Proof of
Deeds at Home.
It’s not words, but deeds, that prove
true merit.
The deeds of Doan’s Kidney Pills,
For Dalton Kidney sufferers,
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Dal
ton people who have been cured to stay
cured.
W. C. Howard, 153 N. Depot St-
Dalton. Ga., says: "I was in bad
shape with my back and could not
stoop or straighten without having
the most intense pains in my loins and
limbs. In the morning after arising,
it was quite awhile before I could get
about with any ease. I used every
thing I thought would help me but to
no avail until I got Doan’s Kidney
Pills at Fincher & Nichol’s drug store.
I took this remedy strictly according
to directions and in a little over a
month it restored me to good health.’
(Statement given March 23. 1908).
No Trouble Since.
On February 8. 1911. Mr. Howard
said: "I can give Doan’s Kidney Pills
as much praise today as I did when
I previously endorsed them. The cure
they made in my case has been per
manent.”

Storm Fully Cures Woman.
Reading Pa.—During a terrific el
ectric storm which swept over this
region last week, Mrs. Mary R.
Wentzell, who had been a paralytic
for three years, found herself able to
move her arm. Later she was able
’o stand and today, for the first time
in months, she walked to church. Her
strange cure was announced in the
pulpit at this morning’s service by
the Rev. A. R. Yost, whose statement
answered the question on the lips of
many persons who could not under
stand how Mrs. Wentzell came to be
in her long vacant pew.
Mrs. Wentzell’s cure is attributed
by the minister to prayer. Members
of the congregation, he said, had al
ways remembered the woman’s afflic
tion when asking for divine mercy.
Mrs. Wentzell was in bed during the
storm. The lightning played around
her home almost continuously. Find
ing herself able to move she cried
out. Her family helped her to her
feet and gradually her muscles stren
gthened and she was able to walk.
