We have no'desire to arouse 1
I «
the ire of the b cy< sts, but,,just
I the same, we wii. iefer to them
lo illustrate the practice of tax 1
dodging in Georgia. Not to all
of them, of course, but merely
t) those whom the cap fits. For
instance the value of bicycles
returned for taxation in Bibb
county is $1,260, as shown by
the lax receiver’s books. This
amount would properly repre
sen' about ad< zen full • grown
bicycles, and ytrt we all know,
as a matter of fact, that there
are as many as thirteen or four
teen bicycles in the county. We
expect the average pedestrian is
almost run by that many
• very week. The city tax books
show that, in reality, there are
fifteen times that number in the
city alone. And yet.
But what’s the use? Tax
dodging in Georgia is so common
that very few people think any
thing of it. It is nut confined to
the bicyclists alone, but, on the
eontrary, the tax books will
show quite as few horses in pro
potion. The situation is this :
nobody pays on such property,
or, indeed, on any personal
property, unless the matter is
presented so pointedly that it
cannot be evaded. And we have
never yet heard of a tax official
doing anything of this sort.
But it is a rank injustice to
cut down the common school
term while more than the neces
sary amount to sustain the
schools is lost every year through i
shameless tax dodging—a prac-l
tice that has grown common,
either through the callousness
of the individual or the indiffer
ence of officials. A practice, a
any rate, that should be put an
end to. —Macon News.
Gov. McMillin, es Tennessee,
says : “I could, I ihink, be elect

disappoint them.”

Death’s Betrothal.
A few years ago a New York newspaper
conducted an open discussion upon the
topic: “Is Marriage a Failure?” The
answer is easy and upon the surface. Where
there is mutual love and re pect, if there is
,also health marriage is a success. When
health is left out, even the most ardent love
does not count, and marriage is invariably
a failure.
Modern science has cri d the warning
RO often that all should realize the dangers
of wedlock to people in ill-health. In a
case of this kind death lurks on every side
—in the kiss of betrothaf and the caress of
the honeymoon. The man who is suffering
from ill-health isaphy -cal bankrupt, aud
has no right -to condemn a woman to be his
nurse for life and the mother of babes that
inherit his physical Weakness.’ Dr Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery acts directly on
the digestive organism. It makes it strong
and its action perfect. When a man’s di.
gestion is all right his blood will be pure;
when his blood is pure his nervous system
Will be strong and his health vigorous,
A woman who suffers front weakness and
disease of the delicate organism of her sex
is certain to suffer from general ill-health,
and to be an unhappy, helpless invalid and
a disappointment as a wife. Her children
will be weak, puny and peevish. A happy
home is an impossibility for her until her
health is restored. Dr. Piprce’s P'avorite
Prescription cures all troubles of the dis
tinctly feminine organism. It cures them
speedily, completely and permanently. It
fits for wifehood and motherhood. Both
medicines are sold by all good dealers.
DR. WURTH,S OPINION.

A Remarkably Successful Remedy
For Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
stomach Troubles.
• Dr. Wurth is com men ing on
lect-Di diocovr.'ie- in medicine
baid : Ihere is irone which is cer
tain io ie so valuable ai d lip'

pepeia I ablets, the law stomach
remedy, I say fur reaching, be*
cause peopl- little realize how im
portant « sound stomach and vig
orous digestion is to tv< ry rjuii,
woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point
of consumption, heart disease,
Bright’s disease, dialetes, neivous
prostration, liver troubles, why is
this so? S.muly because every
ueiVe, muscle and tissue in our
bodies is created and nourished
f.om the- food we eat. If that
food is, by reason of a weak stom
ach, compelled to lie for hours, a
sour, fermenting mass of half di
gested food, it poisons the blood
and nervous system, creates ga«
w hich i ieteuds the stomach and
boweiß, causing pressure on the
h>. art, lungs and other c igans, and
seriously impeding their action,
He says further, ’be point t>
dirtci attention is m t the n?rves,
nor heart, nor lungs, nor kidueys,
but t e stomach, th* first cau-e of
all the mischief.
The remedy t? use for indiges
tion and weak stomachs is not
some cathartic, but a remedy
which will d’gest the food, in*
crease the flow of gastric juice,
a 1 s <rb the gases and S'uarts Dys
P'*psia Tablets will accomplish
exactly this result in any case of
