SICKNESS
Quickly Yielded To Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.
Baltimore, Md.— “I am more than
glad to tell what Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com
pound did for me.
I suffered dreadful
pains and was very
irregular. I became
alarmed and sent for
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com
pound. I took it reg
lularly until I was
without a cramp or
pain and felt like
another person, and
it has now been six months since I took
any medicine at all. I hope my little
note will assist you in helping other wo
men. I now feel perfectly well and in
the best of health.” — Mrs. August
W. Kondner, 1632 Hollins Street, Bal

Truthful Traveler Tells Remarkable
Story Concerning Doings of the
Ostrich in Africa.
“Doubtless,” said the professor of
natural history, to the returned trav

strange bits of information regarding

tries you have visited.”
“A few,” answered the traveler
"The most interesting thing I ever
heard, however, was a story I got in
Africa. It seems that, a year or so
ago a representative of a rubber
stamp house went through there and
lost his sample case, containing all
kinds of office stamping apparatus. It
appears that some ostriches found his
sample case, broke it open, and swal
lowed the samples.”
"I see nothing odd about that. Os
triches will eat anything.”
"Yes; but now every ostrich egg
that is found there is seen to be num

PENSION BOLL IS
COT FOB THIS IEM
IT APPEARS THERE WILL BE A
DEFICIT OF ABOUT $40,000
IN THE FUND.
NEW NAMES ARE TAKEN OFF
Will Try to Pay Half the Counties in
the State in a Very
Short Time.
—Atlanta.
A conference was held between
Governor Slaton and Pension Com
missioner Lindsey regarding the pay
ment of pensions for this year.
After canvassing the situation fully
it was determined to leave off of the
roils now the 736 new names added
to the 1914 rolls for payment, requir
ing some $40,000, inasmuch as it ap
peared from the compiled figures of
the commissioner that a deficit of
something like that amount would oc
cur after all the appropriation and
available fund was used.
Both Governor Slaton and Captain
Lindsey took the position that pen
sioners who had been on the rolls
for a long period were entitled to
first consideration In the distribution
of the appropriation, and that new
pensioners must take their chances
with the legislature.
It is now hoped that sufficient
money will be tn the treasury to pay
approximately half of the counties in
a ten days or two weeks, depending
largely on how tax collectors remit.
A rather genera) impression has
gained currency appearently that
Governor Slaton set the precedent of
paying teachers out of the first avail
able funds. A pensioner In Hart coun
ty wrote Captain Lindsey along this
line, and the commissioner set out
the matter clearly as follows:
"No one person is responsible for
the financial condition of the state at
this time. The legislature made the
law creating the teachers and pen
sioners and fixed the manner and the
time of their respective payments.
These payments are dependent upon
the collection of the taxes annually
from the people and every other
source of revenue provided by the
law and during these years gone by
the general assembly created more
debts and appropriated more money
than they provided sources of reve
nue to pay them. 1 am told, and it is
true, that the state Is in debt more
than $1,000,000. Neither Governor
Slaton, myself nor the state treasurer
individually or jointly are responsi
ble for this condition.
"If there had been suTlcicnt funds
in the treasury as there used to be
on the first day of January three or
four years ago, both the teachers and
the pensioners would have been paid,
without any dispute as to who should
be paid first. When the time came
in January, 1911 to pay teacher and
pensioner, it was developed that
there was insufficient funds in the
state treasury to pay both. Then
the question arose as to who should
be paid first, the teacher or the pen
sioner. This was a question of law,
and Governor Brown at that time
submitted it to the then attorney gen
eral, Hewlett Hall, he. being the legal
advisor of the governor and of the
heads of all of the departments of
the state government, and clothed
with the authority to interpret the
law and to declare its meaning as
the guide to those whose duty it was
to execute the law. After a careful
investigation, the attorney general
declared the law to be that the teach
er had the right to be paid first out
of the taxes collected in the year that
| the teaching was done.
"That settled the disipute, and this
course has been followed iu 1911,
1912, 1913 and will be followed for
1914. Therefore, you see and well
: understand that Governor Slaton nor
I myself are at all responsible for the
existing conditions, and should not
be censured for it under the interpre
tation of the law.
Wade Appointed Judge.
The vacancy in the state
court of appeals caused by the resig
nation of Judge J. R. Pottle lias been
filled by Governor Slaton by the ap
pointment of Hon. Peyton L. Wade of
Dublin. Judge Wade's appo ntment j
meets with the approval of the state
■ Bar association, which body unani
‘ mously endorsed him for the posi-
I tion.

Forming Boys’ Pig Clubs.
Georgia is the third state in the
South in which the United States de
partment of agriculture is organizing
boys’ pig clubs. These clubs are the
next step iu the corn club work by
which the boy is taught how to market
his crop on four legs instead of four
wheels. The clubs are somewhat simi
lar, each boy raising a pure bred pig
acecording to instructions and exhibit
ing it next fall at the fairs where
prizes will be given.
The objects of the boys' pig clubs
in Georgia are:
1. To stimulate an interest in swine
production and to teach how to raise
cheaper and better hogs by the use of
improved blood and the growing of for
age crops.
2. To increase the number of hogs
raised on the farm in order that the
meat for the home and that required to
feed the extra farm labor may be pro
duced instead of being bought. It is es
timated that Georgia spends $40,000,-
000 a year for meat, in addition to
what is raised in the state.
3. To compliment the work of the
boys’ corn club by showing the boys
how they can profitably market theler
corn in the form of live stock.
4. To teach the boy how to judge
hogs, and to select them for breeding
and market purposes.
5. To encourage the growing of for
age crops and discourage the use of
high-priced feeds.
6. To instruct the boys in a practi
cal way in the management, feeding,
sanitation and prevention of diseases
of swine, all of which information
proves valuable with respect to other
forms of live stock work.
7. To give the boys some means of
earning some money for themselves
while at home.
The following are the rules that will
govern the clubs.
1. Any boy between the ages of 10
and 18 may become a member of the
i club.
2. Each boy must secure at least one
pure-bred pig if he becomes a mem
ber of the club.
3. Each boy must care for his pig in
person and keep a record of the feed
given and pasture grazed. He must re
cord the weight of the pig when it
comes into his possession and at stat
ed intervals, so as to. determine the
gains. The date the pig was farrowed
should also be recorded.
4. Record blanks which will be fur
nished, should be filled out and certi
fied by two disinterested persons.
5. Each member must have owned
and kept a record of his pig or pigs
: for at least four months in order to
. compete for a prize.
THOUGHT IT KAISER'S ORDER
Explanation of Mysterious Star Raised
Above Cross on Roof of Church
in Berlin.
In illustration of the deference paid
ito tbe kaiser's wishes in even the
smallest details, the following story :
is told of the star above the cross on !
the spire of the Emperor William Me- ’
mcrial church:
As the kaiser insisted on revising
the plans of the church, the architect
brought the plans to him, and the kai
ser scratched out what he did not
like, and made such additions as he
fancied before he gave them the im- ;
perial approval. The church was
built. There was to be a big gilt
cross on the spire, and it appeared in
its proper place. But, much to the J
general astonishment, when the cross i
was put up a large, many-pointed star
was raised above it on a heavy rod 1
The Berliners did not understand the j
star. They inquired, and the archi
tect said the kaiser had added the
start to the plans.
The plans were examined. Then it
was found that in revising them the
kaiser had let fall a drop of ink from
his pen on the paper just above the
cross. The architect studied a long
time over this, blot of ink. There
could be no appeal, no inquiries. He
finally decided that the blot of ink
signified a star above the cross, and
he put the star there, making it cor
respond as nearly as possible to the
outline of the blot. The star is still I
there.
The Oldest Ship.
Said to be the oldest ship in the I
world in active service, the Copen-'
hagen yacht Constance has been sold I
to a fisherman of Skaw, in Jutland,
who will use the ancient craft in his
trade. The Constance was built one |
hundred and ninety-three years ago, j
and in her long life she has sailed into !
almost every port in the world. Her :
timbers are still staunch, and her new :
owner deciares he can see no reason '
why she should not sail the seas for i
