REpuB11cAN legislative caucus is

A REPUBLICAN Legislative caucus is
called for this evening at 7:2O p. m. The
Democratic party in the house still pre-
sents an unbroken front. On all party
questions the vote still stands one Demo
crat to AZ Republican. The party is in
danger and in no other way can it be
held together except under the party
lash. Let the whip be applied unmerci-
fully. That lone Democrat must be
overcome.

The governor presents some very ex-
cellent reasons for the veto of the seed
wheat bill. This is measure that should
receive the most careful consideration at
the hands of the committee and it should
not hesitate if the facts justify, to recon-
mend that the veto be sustained. Pos
sibly some sort of plan can be devised
that will give the relief desired by the
farmers without the objection this bill
presents.

Their Only Medicine Chest.

Il have been using BRANDRETH's PILLS
for the last thirteen years, and though
have had nine children, l have never had
doctor in the house, except three times,
when we had an epidemic of scarlet fever,
which we soon banished by a vigorous use
for myself, two or three a night for a
month, for liver complaint, dyspepsia and
constipation. In diarrh9a, cramps, wind
colo, indigestion, one or two BRANDRETH's s
PILLS fixed the children at once. A box of

in the house. We use them for rheulna-

cure all the above complaints in very few

Statistics of Glucose Manufacture.

The manufacture of "corn starch
sugar" or ''starch sugar." or GLUCOSE"
is just now attracting much attention.
A Russian chemist discovered in 1911
that by boiling with diluted sulphuric
acid, starch was converted into sugar.
On Aug. 1, 1880, 10 glucose factories
were in operation in the United States,
consuming daily about 20, 900 bushels Of
corn. 1t has been estimated that in
May, 1881, the total consumption of corn
in sugar making was about 35, 900 BUSH
els daily. The factories are so arranged
that corn may be converted into starch
or sugar according to the demands of the
market. 1t was estimated that IL, 0OO,-
600 bushels corn would be used in these
factories in 1881, and doubled in 1882.

Says the New York Times: "Gov-
ernor Beaver of Pennsylvania wisely de-
voted part of his recent message to the
Legislature of that state, to a subject of
public importance in which there are no
politics. He quotes the old saying that
'the history of civilization is the history
of roads, and adds that if this be true,
Pennsylvania cannot claim to have at
tanned the highest rank in civilization.
'The time has come the Governor says,
'when it will be economy in every way to
build our roads permanently and sub
stantially. The comfort of our people,
economy in the transportation of our
products, saving in the wear and tear of
vehicles and animals, and the needless
multiplication of highways, all demand
that the laws governing the laying out
and construction of our roads should be
radically reformed and systcmatized. -"

Value of PersimmOn Trees.

The farmers around Elberton, Ca,
know the worth of persimmons, and
for years have made it point never to
cut down a persimmon tree. In places
so many trees have been left standing
that the fields look like orchards, and
indeed they are, persimmon orchards,
the trees of which bear fine crops of
fruit almost as valuable as corn for fat
tening hogs. The farmers say that the
persimmon tree draws but little strength
or moisture from the soil, and that
excellent crops are grown even beneath
their shade.-Nelo York Sun.

Five Generations.

A remarkable incident, both of lon
gevity and the unbroken preservation of
several generations, recently came to the
notice of DIR. Rawlings of Sandersville.
He was called in to see an old negro
living about two miles from Sandersville
named Abram Marshall, who was sick
with malady which, from the nature of
things, might well have been old DR..
Sangrado's "natural phthisic," old age,
though such was not the case. The old
negro had a colored woman, even
more aged than himself, in attendance
upon him. The doctor CHANGED to ask
who she was, and to his establishment
was informed that it was Abrams
mother. The climax was reached, how
ever, when in course of conversation the
old woman, herself IS, casually remarked
that her mother ''was getting rather fee
BILE now" Upon inquiry, it was found
that she was SO years of age, and has
lived to fondle her great-great grand
children. Old Abram is proud of being
able to have around him both a grand
mother and grandchildren, while five
generations are yet alive in the land
