CRUSH LAWLESSNESS NOW. 1
Night riders entered the shade to-!
bacco fields of W. C. Gibson, in Grady
county, last week and pulled up andJ
destroyed half of his tobacco crop be
cause, it is said, he had failed to re
duce his crop one-half as the tobacco
pfanters of that section had agreed
should be done. |
This §s the first instance of such(
lawlessness in Georgia that has come
to cour attention. It is to be hoped
that the guilty men will be arrested
and adequately punished.,
While there may be no objectiin lo’
an agreement to curtail a crop, s.ach
outrages as have been seen iun ‘en ‘
tucky in late years should never lwg
experienced in Georgia. When a man|
lies down to sleep at night, his Hnu‘;‘c-z
hold and his property should be|
secure, and the success of ('i\'ilizvd;
government is measured by (h;u!
security, |
The governor and the local nulhn:i—f
ties of Grady county should go after |
this viper of cowardly lflwl«-ssnoss,i
and crush it while it is young. ]
Governor Smith announces that he
will appoint General Clement A, Evans
aljutant jgeneral to succeed adjutant
general Scott, and that he will appoint
Judge Patterson, of Griffin, a member
of the Prison Commission to succeed

REV. W. A, WELLS AT HOME
AGAIN,
The many Cobb county friends of
Rev. W. A, Wells will be glad to learn
that he has so far recovered from (he
injuries received near Decatur two
months ago that he has been able (o
return with Mrs. Wells to their home
in Alpharetta. He attended church at
that place Sunday a week ago, and
made a short talk, but was very weak.
The Free Press says it will be several
months before he will be entirely well,
Mr. and Mrs. Wells were hurt by hav
ing their buggy struck by a trolley
car as they were crossing the track
between Decatur and Atlanta. Their
horse was killed. 1t is likely that Mr.
Wells: will visit some of his Cobb
county friends in a few days.

BLUNT ANDREW JACKSON.
#old Hickory's” Caustic Advice to
James Buchanan.
Stories of Andrew Jackson are likely
to be pointed aud to have a practical
~application, as do the stories told ot
Fraokiin. In Mr. J. W. Forney's “An
ecdotes of Public Men” there Is given
a story as it was told br James
Buchanpan at his own table. Although
it contained a reproof from the presi
dent tp one who was to succeed him,
it is said to have been a favorite story
at that board.
Shortly after Mr. Buchanan's return
from Russia in 1834, to the court of
which country be had been sent by
Jackson in 1832, and immediately fol
lowing his election to the senate he
called upon “Old Hickory” with a fair
English lady whom he desired to pre
sent to the head of the American na
tion.
Leaving her in the reception room
downstairs, he ascended to the pres!
dent’s private quarters, where he
found General Jackson unshaved, ,un
kempt, in his dressing gown, with his
slippered feet on the fender, before a
blazing wood fire, smoking a corncob
pipe of the old southern pattern.
He stated his object, and General
Jackson said that he would be very
glad to meet the lady whom Mr
Buchanan desired to present.
Mr, Buchanan was always eareful of
his personal appearance and in some
respects was a sort of masculine \Miss
Fribbe, addicted to spotless cravarts
and huge collars, rather proud of a
foot small for a man of his large stat
ure and to the last of his life what the
ladies would call “a very good figure."
Having just returned from a visit to
the fashionable eircles of the conti
nent after years of thorough ‘inter
course with the etiquette of one of the
stateliest courts in Kurope, he was
somewhat shocked at the idea of the
president meeting the eminent English
lady in such a guise and ventured to
ask if General Jackson did not intend
to change his attire. Thereupon the
old warrifor rose, with his long pipe in
bis band, and, deliberately knocking
the ashes out of the bowl, said to his
friend:
“Buchanan, I want to give you a lit
tle piece of advice, which [ hope you
will remember. I knew a man once
who made a fortune by attending to
his own business. Tell the lady 1 will
see her presently.”
The man who became president in
1857 was fond of saying that this re
mark of Andrew Jackson humiliated
him more than any other rebuke he
had ever received.
He walked downstairs to meet the
lady in his charge, and in a very short
time President Jackson entered the
room, dressed in a full suit of black,
cleanly shaved, 'with his stubhborn
white hair forced back from his fore
head, and, advancing to the beautiful
visitor, he greeted her with almost
kKingly grace
As she ieft the White House she soid
to her escort, *Your republican presi
dent 1s the royal model of a gentle
man.”
Napoleon’s Tribute to Frederick.
When, after the battle of Jena, Na
poleon invaded Prussia he visited
Potsdam, which contains the mortal
remains of the Prussian kings. The
sepulcher of Frederick the Great occu
pled a prominent site in the mauso
leum. When entering the latter Na
poleon uncovered his head and went
directly up to the sarcophagus of the
noted warrior. For a moment the
conqueror stood still, seemingly ab
sorbed in deep thought. Then with
the forefinger of his right hand he
wrote the word **Napoleon” in the dust
of the huge stone casket and, turning
to his marshals, said:
“Gentlemen, if he were living 1 wouid
not be here.”
A Joke That Failed,
Once when Henrik Ibsen was en
gaged In writing a play he by chance
dropped a scrap of paper on which
were the words, “the doctor says.”
Mrs. Ibsen determined to have a
joke and one day casually remarked:
“Who is that doctor In Your new play?
I suppose he'll say some interesting
things?"
Ibsen at first was silent with astoo
ishment. Then he broke out into a fit
of rage, full of reproaches for her spy
ing.
Tenuity.
The convivial boarder as be sat
down explained that if anybody pres
ent noticed an odor of cloves it was
due to his having been trying to relieve
a toothache.
“Among the permissible syoonyms
for ‘thin’"” observed the taciturn
boarder, breaking the long silence that
followed, “are ‘gauzy,’ ‘diaphanous,
‘exiguous’ and ‘anguilliform.’ Mrs,
Irons, where are the pickles?"—Chl

Different lvories.
“Let's go down and have a game of
biiliards.”
“Excuse me, but I'm a greenhorn at
billiards.”
“Greenhorn? 1 am surprised, sir.
Why, you told me you were at home
with the {vories.”
“So I am, sir. | am a dentist."—Mll

' THE MIND CURE.
Don’t Worry, Eat and Sieep Right ana
Live For a Century.
Thousands of sick and afflicted are
daily told by their phbygsicians to
change their diet and keep the stomach
free from indigestible food. This we
admit to be good advice, but far great
er is the usefulness of advice to
change your thoughts, for out of a de
filed mind proceeds a corrupt and dis
eased pody.
The body quickly responds 1o every
fmpulse and impression of the mind.
and one rarely if ever sees a person
with a contented mind thin, anaemic
and suffering with neurasthenia and
its train of nervous and gastric symp
toms. if it were not for the worry,
discontent and abnormally strenuous
life that characterize the people of
this age the specialist on nervous and
mental diseases would have to discover
ways to obtain a livelihood other than
catering to the whims and fancies,of a
veritable army of perverts.
As paradoxical as it may seem, I
candidly and deliberately proclaim
that 80 per cent of all the inhabitants
of the world now living under fifteen
years of age could liye and enjoy bet
ter health until they have passed the
century mark in age if it were possible
to instruct them concerning the proper
observance of those unchangeable laws
of health, hygiene and physiology. We
are often admonished to give up alco
holie stimulants, tobacco and coffee if
we des’-e to become even octogena
rians. While | admit that this is
essential, yet 1 consider the observance
of three other rules more conducive to
longevity, as follows: Never worry and
never become angry; eat slowly and
regularly; obtain at least ten hours'
sleep out of every twenty-four, for in
this age of progress and achievement,
when every one is making strenuous
efforts to excel his neighbor in obtain
ing knowledge, wealth and influence,
ten hours’ sleep is barely sufficient te
restore equilibrium to an exhausted
sensorinm.
And for the man that wandereth out
of the way of understanding and wor
ries through a miserable existence,
never quite satisfied with any one or
anything, we shall soon number him
with the congregation of the dead.—L.

BONES OF THE EAR.
Thé Little Stirrup When Displaced
Causes Noises In the Head.
Vibrations of the eardrum are eom
municated to the inner ear by means
of three exceedingly small bones, one
of which'is called the stirrup. When
this particular little bone is displaced,
however slightly, the patiént hears
sounds which are subjective, or, to
use plainer terms, noises confined ex
clusively to the auditory apparatus
and not heard by others. These sounds
frequently seem like wind whistling
through a crevice or a buzzing such as
one hears when passing under a net
work of wires on a windy day. Other
sounds of similar subjective origin are
classified as musical. They take the
form of ringing bells, trumpet blasts,
organ notes and the piping of birds.
Still another form conveys to the pa
tient sounds such as frogs make as
they sit on logs and like the shouts of
a crowd at a baseball game.
Dr. Marage, a famous French aurist,
recently laid before the Academy of
Sciences in Paris the results of his
study of a thousand cases of this gen
eral sort. He has found that the nerves
of the ear in certain cases maintained
the conducting position which they as
symed when they @ransmitted the
sound of a ringing bell or like sound,
and, like an electrie button out of
position, kept the bell vibrations from
being interrupted. Other sounds were
produced by the persistent excitation
of the auditory nerve centers. High
frequency electrical currents and vi
bratory massage have been used by
leading specialists in the treatment of
ear troubles in these several conditions,
and the results have been encouraging.

Wrong End First.
An old Indiana justice of the peace,
after listening for two long days to
the evidence pro and con in a criminal
case, wound up his decision upon the
conflicting testimony by saying that he
had grave doubts as to the guilt of the
prisoner, but, whereas when a law
student he had read in Blackstone that
it was better that ninety-nine innocent
men should be punished than that one
guilty man should escape, therefore he
would find the prisoner guilty.—Hil
