CANDIDATE AKERMAN
ANNOUNCES FOR CONGRESS.
Asks the Support of the Voters of the
Seventh Congressional District.
Cartersville, Ga., Aug. 15, 1910.
To the Voters of the Seventh Dis
trict: I have the honor to announce
my candidacy to represent the Sev
enth, District of Georgia in the Nation
al Congress and to ask your favorable
consideration thereof. If elected, I
pledge myself to faithfully regard the
interests of the whole country, our
state and this district.
I endorse and shall follow, if elected,
the most enlightened construction of
the Republican platform of 1908 and
the policies of my party since the de
veloped along its lines, and I will most
heartily strive for—
First. Care of our natural resources
of the country in which all of the peo
ple have a direct interest, the conser
vation and use, for the general welfare,
of our forests, mineral deposits, water
powers and water supply.
Second. The restriction of foreignl
immigration to those whose presence
among us constitutes a national ad
vantage and not a public burden.
Third. The extension of the Rural
Delivery system in our district to the
end that in time all will enjoy the
benefits of this service. I realize that
in order to get the best service for the
people it is necessary to pay the high
est salaries, and in view of the fact
that the rural carriers are paid the
lowest salaries of any government
employees in proportion to the service,
I favor an increase in their salaries so
that the public may be benefitted
thereby.
Fourth. 1 believe the public high
ways of our country should receive as
much support from the National Gov
ernment as our waterways, and if elect
ed, shall do everything in my power
to divert some of the surplus funds of
the treasury in that direction.
A generation has passed since Geor
gia has had representation in a Repub
lican Congress. During Republican
administrations, which have been al
most continuous since 1874, the state
has had in effect no representation in
Congress, its claims have been neg
lected, its development obstructed and
the presentation of its advantages for
those seeking homes or investment. has‘
been left to the conflicting efforts of
corporations and individuals. I be
lieve that a direct representation of
this district, and, incidentally, the
state at large, by a Republican fully
in sympathy with your ideals, and re
specting traditions committed to your
care, will be felt in every county.
Lands will increase in value, capital
Ibecome more accessible, the rate of
interest lowered and your population
increased by the industrious of every
section who seek a salubrious climate,
fertile soil and conditions that make
for happiness. To these ends and to
the furtherance of your interests I
shall commit myself industriously and
in good conscience, if I have the honor
to be selected as your representative.
Very respectfully,
Walter Akerman.

Qil Cook-stove
Gives no outside heat, no smell, no smoke. It will cook the biggest d{nngr
without heating the kitchen of the cook. It is immediately lighted and immedi
ately extinguished. It can be changed from a slow to a quick fire by turning a
handle. There’s no drudgery connected with it, no coal to carry, no wood to chop.
‘You don't have to wait fifteen or twenty minutes till its fire gets going. Apply a
light and it's ready. By simply turning the wick up or down you get a slow or an
intense heat on the bottom of the pot, pan, kettle or oven, and nowhere else. It
has a Cabinet Top with shelf for keeping plates and food hot, drop shelves for
coffee, teapot or saucepan, and even a rack for towels. It saves time, worry,
bealth and temper. It does all a woman needs and more than she expects. Made
with 1,2, and 2 burners; the 2 and 3-burner sizes can be had with or without

THE SELFISH LIFE.
A man who lives entirely to him

To Thread a Hair Through a Walnut.
To pass a hair through a walnut
without boring a hole seems an im.
possibility, but the feat has often been
done. The hull of the walnut when
examined with a strong glass is seen
to have innumerable small openings.
some of which lead entirely through
the nut. The trick consists in using a
very fine hair and an infinite amount
of patience. Pass the hair into one of
these minute crevices and urge it gen
tly along. Sometimes it will appear on
the other side at the first trial, but if
it comes out at the hundred and first
you will be very lucky.

The Real Need.
In negro households, espeeially in
communities where negroes form a
large portion of the population, it fre
quently happens that the woman is
the head of the family, being not only
the breadwinner. but also the discipli
narian, and in that capacity on occa
sions she regards her putative lord and
master as subject to her will. This
at least was the assumption of the col
ored woman who was a pzsty to a lit
tle scene enacted in the office of a jus
tice of the peace.
A man had been arrested on the
charge of beating and cruelly misus
ing his wife. After hearing the charge
against the prisoner the justice turned
to the first witness. 4
“Madam.” he said, “if this man were
your husband and had given you a
beating would you call in the police?”’
The woman addressed. a veritable
amazon in size and aggressiveness,
turned a smiling countenance toward
the justice and answered: e
“Dlo, jedge. If he was' mah husban’
an’ he treated me lak he did ’is wife
Ah wouldn’t call no p’liceman. No,
sah; Abh'd call de undertaker.” —
Youth’s Companion.
Flexibility of English.
English is not only, as Richard Jef
feries asserted. the most expressive
and flexible of tongues., but also, in
Swinburne’s opinion, the most musi
cal. He proclaimed the lines—
‘ Music that gentlier on the spirit lies
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes
to be unmatched for melody in any
I language. And few would ventyre to
contradict such a master of music and
} tongues. But surely French ranks
| next on the roll of languages. For
clearness of diction it is unrivaled.
and, thanks to its abundance of vow
els (close on one for every consonant)
it flowes rhythmically from the tongue.
Against Westley’s dictum. that French
is to German as a bagpipe to an or
gan, may be cited a saying of another
famous divine, Dr. Dollinger, “L’Alle
mand n’est pas une langue, mais ceux
qui parlent ce jargon se comprennent
*entre eaux” (German is not a lan
guage, but those who speak this jar
gon understand one another).—London
| Chronicle.
Facts About Giants.
That very few of the giants who
bhave ever lived have been healthy or
well formed recent researches prove
beyond a doubt. All we know about
Goliath is that he was very tall, but in
the second book of Kings we read
about another giant. who had more
fingers than an ordinary human being,
and, according to modern scientists,
this is invariably a token of degen
eracy. Marcel Donnal saw at Milan a
giant who was so tall that his body
filled two beds at night, but whose
legs were so weak that he could hard
ly stand upright. Willilam Evans, the
gigantic porter of Charles 1., had little
strength, and Cromwell’'s porter, an
other giant, ended his days in a luna
tic asylum. Finally, O’Brien, the Irish
glant, has been described as ‘“‘an enor
mous sick child who grew up too
fast.”
Another Fake.
“Did you see the ‘lightning calcu
lator’ in the sideshow?” asked the old
farmer in the wide straw hat.
“By heck, yes,” drawled the other
ruralite, “‘and bhe was the biggest fake
in the show.”
“How was that?”
“Why, thar was a thunderstorm go
ing on while I was in the tent and
when I asked him if he could calculate
where the lightning was going to strike
he just gave me the laugh.”—Chicago
News.
An Ominous Symptom.
“A good wife is heaven's greatest

lead him softly over the rough places.
She is”—
“Jeremiah,” said Mrs. Jarphly sol
emnly — “Jeremiah, what wickedness
bhave you been up to now?”
Doubled In Value.
A Missourian who bought some
Texas land and wanted to unload it
told a prospective buyer that it had
“doubled in value since I bought it.”
“But,” said the other, “you offered to
sell it to me for the same price you
paid. How has it doubled in value?’
“Well, you see, I gave twice as much
as it was worth.”—Kansas City Star.

: Antiquw'ty of Shorthand.
Shorthand is apt to be looked upon
as an essentially modern art. The
predecessors of Pitman—Byrom in the
eighteenth century, Mason in the sev
enteenth—are dim and distant figures
beyond which it seems useless to ven.
ture. Cicero dictated his orations to
his freedman, T. Tullius Tiro, and was
inconsolable when temporarily depriv
ed of his services. He complained in
a letter to a friend that, wuile "“Tiro
takes down whole phrases in a few
signs, Spintharus (his provisional sub
stitute) only writes in syllables.” We
need not. however, suppose that the
“notae Tironianae” were actually in

London Weekly.
A Benevolent Censor.
A trio of young ladies spent some
weeks last year at an out of the way
village in the mountain region. They
found the village postmaster a quaint
oid character, whose ways were as ori
ginal as they were startling, so that
the daily trip to the postoffice became
a real event.
“Is there any mail for us, major?”
asked one of the young ladies as she
appeared at the window one morning,
“No; they ain’t a thing for you all
this mawnin’, Miss Mary,” was the re
ply. *“They wasn’t nothin’ come for
you but a letter that looked like adver
tisin’, an’ so I opened it, and sure
enough it was jest some advertisement
about somethin’ or other, and I says
to myself, says I, ‘Now, Miss Mary
don’t want to tote such stuff as that
home with her, and so I é“owed it in
the waste box.”—Youth’s Companion.
Snuff and a Crook. :
Robert Pinkerton once told a story
of his father, the founder of the de
tective agency, which illustrates the
elder Pinkerton’s caution. A noted
criminal was detained in Pinkerton's
Chicago office. The elder Pinkerton
left the room and when he returned
took the precaution of holding a re
volver in front of him ready for use.
He saw the criminal standing by the
door with a snuffbox he had picked
up from Pinkerton's desk in his hand.
“This is good snuff,” affably re
marked the crook as he took a sniff.
“For the eyes or the nose?’ asked
Pinkerton, who knew that the crook
had intended to blind him in an effort
to escape.
“Well,” remarked the criminal, “I'm
sorry to say that the nose gets it this
time.”
Appius Claudius.
Appius Claudius, surnamed Caecus
(the blind), was a Roman statesman
who lived during the third century be
fore the Christian era. He was a Ro
man censor, 312 to 308, and consul,
807 to 296. He commenced the Ap
plan way and completed the Appian
aqueduct. From his Roman juris
prudence, oratory, grammar and Latin
prose date their beginning. He abol
ished the limitation of the full right
of citizenship to landed proprietors.
In his old age he is said to have be
come blind, whence his cognomen
“Caecus.”” He was the author of
works in both prose and verse, of
which almost nothing is known.
No Pure Water.
Owing to the extremely solvent pow
ers, pure water i{s never found in na
ture, the nearest approach being found
in rainwater, which, as it is formed in
the upper regions of the atmosphers,
is the purest that nature supplies, bu
in descending it brings with it whatf‘
ever impurities are floating near the
surface, which in the neighborhood of
cities are always numerous; hence per
fectly pure water is hardly to be found,
even the artificially distilled being only
approximately so.
Where to Begin.
“Look here,” said the reforming hus
band; “we must have things arranged
in this house so that we shall know
Just where everything is kept.”
“With all my heart,”” sweetly an
swered his wife, “and let us begin with
your late hours, my love. 1 should
very much like to know where they
are kept.”—Stray Stories,
A Boomerang.
“Call that art!” exclaimed a would
be critie, pointing to a painting in a
studio. *“if that daub is a work of art,
then I'm an idiot!"
“The latter part of your statement,”
rejoined the artist calinly, *would seem
to furnish conclusive proof that it is 2
work of art.”
