fi'hrdm;n’- Guest Recall
Ofd Days In Georgia
Atlanta, Aug. 16.—Exchange
of reminiscences among former
colleagues, particularly in re
calling days when Georgia was
in the throes of the ‘‘bone dry”
movement, was the object of an
juformal luncheon today at the
executive mansion with Gover
nor L. G. Hardman as host.
The guests for the most part
were among those who witness
ed the stirring events in this
state during the first decade of
the present century and were
active in thefight which brought
about passage of the Hardman-
Neel-Covington prosibition act
of 1907. ”
The idea of such a ‘‘reunion”
had its inception at a recent
luncheon of the governor and
two of his former colleagues in
the legislature. The discussion
turned to the eventful days of
the fight for prohibitien, and
the three found reminiscences
so pleasant they decided to ar
range a meeting of several of
Georgia’s older lawmakers.
Among those invited were
former Governor Hoke Smith,
former Governor John M. Sla
ton, at that time speai{er of the
house, Clerk Howell, editor of
the Constitution, who in 1907
already had served both as
speaker of the house and presi
dent of the senate, John T.
Boifeuillet, for many years a
member and later a clerk of the
house, Seaborn Wright, veteran
Jegislator, and W. A. Covinglon,
gne of the representatives Who
led the fight for the b#l which
bears his name.

The commissioner gaid no
general order would be issued
but he would discuss the mat
ter by correspondence with his
administrators. He declined to
say what rcasons prompted his
decision. 4

A finer bunch of gentlemen
(and ladies) never spent a day
in Hazlenurst than these people.
They all won friends a plenty
here and everybody regretted
to see them leave, but will wel

us a good tobacco market. They
furnished us that—one of the
best in the State, |
Mr. H. P, Foxhall and Mr.
Joe V. Moye, the gentlemen
who managed the large Gravely
Warehouse, and Mr. W. D.
Udom and Mr. S. P. Watson,
the gentlemen who managed
the Planters Warehouse, are
four of ‘the very best tobacco
warehousemen ever to makea
track on Georgia soil. Hazle

securing s.ch excellent gentie
men to operate her two ware
houses, and we are going to
have this same four back with
us nex} season ‘‘or else!”’
Everybody, especially -the
tobacco growers, were well
pteased with local market this

GROWING PAINS.
What are growing pains? We m
by this question, What are the
‘that growing children compiain of-—
and why? E w 1 ,
The best of our medical authorit
tell us that so-called growing
are most likely rheumatism in the vast
majority of eases and that there is mo
such disease as “Growing Pains.” In
fact, any pain that a child has must
have a cause and if the pain is ae~
companied by tenderness and if it is
about a joint and especially if it is
painful ‘to move the joint, it is rheu~
matism in most cases. It is always
gerious. It should have the very best
of care and if possible the sources of
{nfection found. It may be a gum
boil or abscessed tooth. It may be
the tonsils have pus in them or #t
may come from Riggs disease. Most
generally pus can ‘be found some
where that is the cause of infectiom
Growing pains may result in serious
heart complications or involvement of
tha kidneys. Growing pains should
not be lightly regarded and dismissed.
Just the relief of pain or the abate~
ment of fever should not satisfy a par
ent who cares, but a most thorough
search should be made for the cause,
