A few weeks ago the editor was TAX
en- with very severe cold that caused
him to be. in most miserable condi-
ton. 1t was undoubtedly a bad case
of la grippe and recognizing it as
dangerous he took immediate steps to
bring about speedy cure. From the
advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and the many good recon-
mendations included therein, we con-
cluded TO make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was salts
factory in its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. 1t acted like magic
and the result was a speedy and per-
manent cure. We have no hesitancy
in recommending this excellent Cough
Remedy to any one afflicted with a
cough or cold in any form.-Yhe Ban

where there is a great
demand for the services of

any great extent. Besides
the trouble caused by the
bugs, the natural high tenn

that aids to the discomfort
by making the body warmer.
For this reason then, the in
clination of the people is to-
ward cool furniture.

MY ARTISTIC WIFE.

Her ambition is surprising. She out
does in early rising
The proverbial exhibition of the
lark;
For at art she's a beginner, and she's
daily growing thinner;
It's impossible to win her from her
hobby to her dinner
She is carving, she is starving till it's
dark!
And this art has come between us, for
she's sculturing a Venus,
An Apollo, and Juno, and Pan,
And she's planning for naiad and
six foot hamadryad,
And she says she has no leisure for
mani
She takes lessons from master in the
modelling of plaster,
And is learning from an artist how
to paint;
When he sees her ineffective and irreg-
ular respective,
Then with epithets invective) he re-
marks she is ineffective,
And would weary out a peri or a
saint.
Even this does not dissuade her; she
beseeches him to aid her,
And works with double ardor at her
craft,
And so great is her delusion that I'm
forced to the conclusion
That she's crazy and fanatical and
daft
With her chisel, and her mallet, and
her brushes, and her palette,
And her canvas, and her plaster, and
her clay;
With her tinting, and her staining, and
her shading, and her granting,
Small wonder I'm complaining; for my
love she is disdaining,
And she snubs me, and she dubs me
''in the way"
All her interest runs to pigments and
to callaesthetic Pigments,
To dado, or a bas relief, or frieze,
And she begs me to believe her that
my pleadings only grieve her,
When she's painting china vases at
HeT ease
She has decorated all things, both the
bulky and the small things,
And put particolored borders on the
floors;
And, returning from her classes, she
bedecks the looking glasses.
There are flowers in groups and masses
painted everywhere she passes
On the stairs! On the chairs! On the
doors!
Oh, We happy hearted spouses, who
have plain, prosaic houses,
You may sing and may rejoice and
may be glad
That the Fates have blessed your lives
by presenting you with wives
Not afflicted with the decorative fad!

The recent penitentlary Investigation in
augurated 10y and held under the auspices
OF the governor has drawn public atten-
ton to the convict problem and the fact
that some solution OF f. must be made
before great while. The convict leases
will expire BY limitation shortly, and some
OF them may he cancelled When the
lease system is abrogated. what shall take
its place? The general desire is that the
state shall assume direct control OF the
conyicts 4 system under which the pen
itentiary establishment shall be self-sup-
porting and Of some public benefit is
wanted.
+ The Morning News has for years urged
that the convicts be employed on the build
ing Of permanent public roads. and other
public works. With very few exceptions.
the public roads of Georgia are a disgrace
to our civilization. They are killing
TO horse flesh. a source of enormous ex-
pense directly and indirectly. and a him
drance TO agricultural and business pros
perity. And under the present road laws
and road working systems. they will never
be better Taxpayers grudge the atten-
ton they are required to give to the public
roads and shirk road duty whenever it
can be done.
The average number Of convicts in the
Georgia pententiary is something like $50.
Even half of that number employed con-
stantly in constructing permanent public
highways would be of incalculable benefit
to the state. The building of system of
good roads throughout the state would
be vast undertaking, and would require
many years of time. But the growth OF
the mileage of good roads would be con-
slant, and the roads would be permanent.
In order TO obtain the best results from
the employment of convicts on the roads,
it would be necessary to have them work
under scientific direction. A competent
engineer should make surveys of the
roads to be improved. and calculate the
drainage and grades upon scientific bases.
He should be a permanent employee of the
state. responsible to the state for the re-
suits achieved under his direction.
There has been some talk in this state
of applying the Mississippi plan to the
convict question here. In Mississippi the
convicts are worked on a state farm. Last
year the farm was a source of revenue to
the state. 1t would seem that the peni-
Tertiary ought not to be operated as
revenue raising institution. 1t should he
made self-supporting, but when it be-
comes more than that ii exceeds its legiti-
mate function. If half of the convicts
can raise enough corn, meat peas and
cotton to supply the needs of the whole
number and nay the operating expenses.
then it seems that the other half ought
not to be worked on farms for the purpose
of swelling the surplus for the general
market. They should be put to road
building.
