THE WATCHDOG.
The statesman wears a look most
wise;
“We must,” he cries, “economize!”
He placidly admits a few
Appropriations should go through
For sums that seem amazing great
To benefit his own dear State.
But when his millions he has gained
He wears a lock exceeding pained
That some hard working clerk should
seek ‘
A raise of five or ten per week
Or that some town, outside the
fence : '
That bounds his sway, should make
pretense
'With an ambition strangely rash,
To anything that looks like cash.
No wonder that he seems so wiso
Whenre'er he cries “Economize!”
—Washington Star.
' " Wasted Mistletoe.
. Another illusion dispelled. Mistle
toe, it seems, is not a Christmas
decoration. “Holly, the box and the
bay,” should deck forth our houses
and churches at Yuletide, but mistle
toe should not make its appearance
till the New Year. It may help to
restore the practice of making the
hanging of the mistletoe separate New
Year's ceremony to state that its of
flcacy is entirely lost if it is hung
and used for the encouragement of
-osculation before the first day of ths
year—Lady’s Pictorial. L
I, LESS MEAT
% Advice of Family Physician.
b pr
" Formerly people thought meat nec
essary for strength aYid muscular
vigor. :
The man who worked hard was
supposed to require meat two or
three times a day. Science has found
out differently. Vi A -
It is now a common thing for the
family physician to order less meat,
as in the following letter from a ‘N.
Y. man:
' “I had suffered for years with dys
pepsia and nervousness. My physi--
cian advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. I tried sev- |
eral things to take the place of my
wusual breakfast of chops, fried pota
toes, etc., but got no relief until 1
tried Grape-Nuts food.
' “After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two
years, lam now a well man. Grape-
Nuts benefited my health far more
than the $500.00 worth of medicine 1
had taken before.
“My wife and children are health-'
jer than they had been for years, and
we are a very happy family, largely
due to Grape-Nuts. ,
“We have been so much benefited
by Grape-Nuts that it would be un
_ grateful not to acknowledge it.”

Water Power Development Ad,
vocated by Senator Bacon.
Many Georgia Projects Provided For By
Congress in River and Harbor
Bill Recently Passed.
Washington, D, C.—ln the, closing
days of the regular session of con
gress, the subject of water power de
velopment, which is now attracting
such widespread interest in the
gouth, came up in connection with the
river and harbor bill, and was dis
cussed at length by Senators Bacon
of Georgia, Bankhead of Alabama,
Smith of Michigan and Frye of Maine,
The right of the government (0
build dams and develop water power,
independently of work undertaken to
aid the navigability of streams, was
called into question, and a vigorous
debate, replete with sharp clashes, en
sued,
As there has been some misappre
hension ag _to the Georgia projects,
provided for in the bill as it finally
passed, the surveys authorized are
given herewith. They are:
In Georgia—Saplo bar and harbor;
Oconee, Ocmulgee and Altamaha rv
ers; Ocmulgee river, vith a view to
the construction of locks and dams
between Macon. and Hawkinsville ;
Big Satilla river from the mouth to
Burnt Fort; Savannah river, at Au
gusta, with a view to determining
what improvements are necessary in
the interest of navigation; Ogeechee,
Ohoopee and Cannouchee rivers.
In Georgia and Alabama—Etowah,
Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers, with a
view to their improvement for navi
gation, Such examination for the im
provement of the navigation of said
‘rivers, including the Alabama river
in connection therewith, shall include
investigations necessary to determine
whether storage reservoirs at the
headwaters of said rivers can be util
ized to advantage, and, if so, what
portion of the cost of any such im
provements, : including reservoirs,
should be borne by owners of water
power and others. |
In Georgia*and Florida—St. Marys
river.
Senator Bacon, who has al
ways been friendly to projects look
ing to the improvement of the naviga
bility of Georgia streams by govern
ment appropriation, took a decided po
sition in the debate on the river and
harbor bill against the government
going ‘into the business of developing
and +selling water power. Last year
he passed througzh the senate a bill
providing for a survey of the Atlan
tic and Great Western canal, which
would include the Coosa, Ocmulgee
and Altamaha rivers. This bill did
not pass the house. Senator Bacon
states he will introduce that measure
at the next session of congress and
feels confident of being able to pass
it again through the senate and hopes
the measure will fare better in the
house than it did, last session.

CENSUS FOR PENSIGNERS.
State Pension Commissioner J. W.
Lindsay Makes Strong Appeal.
Atlanta, Ga.—State Pension-Com
missioner J, W. Lindsay ha§ prepar
ed a circular letter, which he has
mailed to every member of the new
legislature, ‘to county officers, to the
newspapers all over the state, with
the request-for publication, and to
all the camps of confederate veter
ans 'in QGeorgia, in which he urges
upon .them the importance of making
a careful and accurate census of the
confederate veterans and widows in
each county entitled to receive a pen
sion.
Commissioner Lindsay shows that
this information will be valuable from
two standpoints: First, in preventing
fraud in the pension rolls, 4nd, sec
ond, in indicating to the legislaqture to
just what extent it, will bave' to g 0
‘in making gfivfiaé for n’Ew pe;sio?-’
" "STATE GLEANINGS, -
That Georgians are a music loving
people is shown by the fact that peo
ple from one of the state to the other
have reserved scats to the Great
Southein Musical Festival to be held
in Atlanta next May 4th sth and 6th,
The Auditorium in which the festi
val will take place is capable of seat
ing nearly 8,000, - A good portion -of
these seats have already been taken,
This rush is due partly to the re
markably low price of the season
tickets, ‘but largely to the worldwide
fame of the various "singers and per
formers who will take part in each
of the flve concerts,
Trustees of the Georgla Fruit Ex
change estimate that the total yleld
of peaches in the Georgia territory
this season will be 4,000 cars at the
maximum or from 3,600 to 4,000 cars,
as a conservative estimate, This
would be about 75 per cent of last
year's yleld, There has been some
damage all through the state; to the
extremely early varieties as a result
of heavy rains last week. A, O. Mur
phy, a large grower of Barnesville,
says that the crop in his vicinity was
damaged about 10 per cent by cold
weather in February, The trustees,
however, say that the recent cold
snap did no damage, and while the
rains hurt the early varieties in some
cases, they did not affect the Elberta
and other staple shipping varieties.
The frost line did not extend below
Barnesville, and the growers report
ed that the blooms in the northern
section were not far enough advanc
ed to be injured. The outlook, bar
ring abnormal conditions, is for a
normal crop and the growers are
greatly encouraged.
Governor Hoke Smith and Mrs.
Smith left for New York, The gov
ernor goes to attend the annual ban
quet of the democrats of western
New York, at which he is scheduled
to make the principal address. Be
fore the banquet at Buffalo, the gov
ernor will appear before the board
of trustees of the Peabody fund in
New York to perfect all arrangements
for the donation of $50,000 which it
is confidently expected the board will
make for the erection of a teachers’
building at the University of Georgia.
Atlanta’s postal receipts are now
running ahead of those of New Or
leans with gratifying regularity. For
the month of February the receipts of
New Orleans fell off $3,500 as com
pared to I®e same month of last year.
Those. of Atlanta increased a like
amount. The receipts of Atlanta for
last month were $73,476.97. Those of
New Orleans were $72,928.91. For the
month of February the receipts of
Louisville surpassed those of Atlante
by about $2,000,
The large dam at the Folds Mill,
near Newbern, was swept away by
the recent heavy floods. This was
doubtless the oldest dam in the state,
as it has been traced back for more
than 150 years, The wood frame was
built before nails were known, the
frame being put together with wood
en pins, A wall of rock fifteen feet
wide was built just below this, which
kept the wood entirely under water
and was finally covered with sand.
Threatened with the prospect of
having to take charge on April 1 of
convicts without a stitch of clothing
on their backs, the ‘authorities of
several counties in the state have
appealed to the prison commission to
require the present convict lessees
to provide the convicts with clathes
when they are turned over to the
counties at the expiration of the lease
system. The request of the connty
authorities has met with favor at the
hands of the commission and that
body has ruled that the convict les
sees must not turn over the convicts
to the, counties as nature made them,
but t%ht they must provide each of
them with. a new suit of stripes with
out spot or blemish. The lessees,
when they received their convicts
originally, found most of them in
rags. They threw away the rags and
'bgughit,, them new clothes, consisting
off a ‘suit of the regulation convict
stripes; “New,” reason the lessees,
“we found them without -clothing,
and it is not meet that we should
be required to furnish them with good
raiment upon their departure when
we lose their services for all time.”
But the prison commission "has de
creed to the contrary and when the
counties receive their convicts ‘on the
niornil!g of April 1 they will be
found “clothed with good, substantial
clothing.
State Treasurer R. E. Park has re
ceived from Chairman J. S. Turner
of they prison commission of Georgia
a letver in which he states that the
$57,371 remaining from the hire of
conviets can be distributed among
those - counties not now using con
victs. &t 1t is believed, however, the
next .quarterly payment due about
April 1, will be retained to pay the
operating expenses of the new prison
system, which begins on that date.
" @Governor Smith has returned to
the prison commission its report rec
ommending the purchase of the Wim
berly farm in Twiggs county, with the
request that the commission make
further inquiry ;as to certain other
places on which the prices originally
quoted have been reduced since an
nouncément of the commission’s rec
ommendation. The governor’s action
is not a disapproval of the commis
sion’s choice, but it appears to be his
idea to get, if possible, a still better
bargain for the state. i
Announcement comes from quarters
which; ' while not official, are consid
ered wholly reliable, that the Albany,
Southwestern and Gulf Railway will
positively be built, and that work of
constriction will be under way by
