IMPORTANT LAW.

Tie last Legislature of this State passed
a very important law in reference to ut,
torneys>at>law soliciting business and
otherwise instigating suits at law
The'Act provides that any Attorney-al-
law who, by himself o. agent, shall orally
or by writing for consideration aftel>
wards to be charged or received, offer Or
tender to another person, without solicita
ton, his services in order to institute a
suit or represent such person in the courts
of this State or the United States, il the
enforcement or collection by law of any
claim, debt or demand OF any such person
against another, and shall suggest and
nrge the beginning OF such suit, or who,
without solicitation, shall seek out and
propose to another person to present and
urge, as n attorneys law, the collection
of any claim, debt or demand of such
person against another, for the collection
of which said attorney shall be entitled to
demand or receive any fee or reward shall
be indicted for the crime of barratry, and
on conviction thereof shall be punished as
prescribed in section 1910 of the Code, and
shall, moreover, be disqualified from rrac>
ticiEg his profession in the future
Considering much that has been charged
in reference to the stirring up of law suits
and the giving CT trouble, it would seem
thai. this Act, ii it is properly enforced,
might do great good In truth at any Bar
there are few who will be affected by it,
What very few do though is charged to
all and the entire Bar is interested in
wedding ont class that will resort Is such
means of getting business.
1t seems that the great field for these
razor.backs is in the city of Atlanta and
their doings are by the papers of that city
sent to the people of Georgia in gorgeous
colors every day. Some OF the most UNI
important matters in court work under the
touch OF these self>laudatory artists Of the
razor-back persuasion are spread out as
deeds of proves in the judicial forum out,
rivaling Don Qulxotes most remarkable
exploits and the profession at large is
charged in the public mind as being cons
mitted to such doings
This Act seems to be aimed at the insti> I
tuting of damage suits and we doubt not
but the corporations were much interested
in its passage. There is another side to it.
These corporations go into court, with
shrewd lawyers and plenty of money aud
poor man stands little show in fight with
them. 1t may be that they have been only
fighting the devil with fire, but the public
knows that they have resorted to many
things in the defense OF their
suits.

ECONOMY.

The people Of Georgia are at last
beginning to realize what the word
economy really means.
Economy is one of the chief duties
of a state as we'll as of an individu-
al it is not only great virtue in
itself, but it is the parent of many
others. 1t preserves men and
nations from the commission of
crime and the endurance of misery.
The man that lives within his in.
come can be Just, humane, charit-
able and independent; he who lives
beyond it becomes almost necessari-
ly, rapacious, mean, taithless, and
contemplate, The economist is
easy and comfortable, the prodigal
harassed with debts and unable to
obtain the necessaries of life. So it
is with nations. National char
acters as we'll as national happiness,
has from the beginning of the world
to the present day, been sacrificed
on the altar OF protusion.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
FOR THE LEGISLATURE.

Many citizens of this county, feeling that
our local prohibition law has totally failed
in its laudable purpose, but instead thereof
has placed the traffic III liquor into the
hands of a lawless and irresponsible class,
who desecrate the Sabbath, making it a
gala day in their sales and places of wor>
ship even, in their nefa-ious business,
corruptng minors into evil habits and oc>
cupy the time OF grand juries and the
courts with their violations of law and
cause hundreds OF witnesses to leave their
avocations. often causing the commission
of perjury. That it does not abate the
drink evil, but deprives the county of a
revenue that might be applied to the
cause of education, and sends hundreds of
dollars to other counties, and tends to Gre
ate sentiment Of dcpravity. Feeling
thus, we deem it our duty, if possible. to
remedy this great evil and to this end we
present the name of Mr.. A. N. Edwards

for Representative in the next House of
Representatives, as one who is able and
qualified, with no ''axe to grind" and
who has the courage to maintain his con,
victions, and will labor for the interest
and honor of his county In lieu of the
the present system, Mr.. Edwards will
advocate that the sale be allowed in places
that are protected by police regulations,
in limited quantities, with license tee
that will place it in the hands of parties
that can be made responsible and with
such bond as will insure the observance of
the law, and under such safeguards and
restrictions as wisdom may suggest, Other

MODERN PROGRESS.

One by one science is obliterat>
ing the landmarks OF ages. Around
US everywhere the nox crowds out
the old. The usages of the past de-
cade have already become traditions
tor the amusement of the next. New
discoveries continually upset pre-.
viously conceived theories and I'M
dermine established systems.
Science can hardly keep pace
with new authority, denying, quail
tying or abrogating the past. Ma
chinery upon which hopes, yet
young, we're based, becomes old iron
as its improved successor usurps its
place. The Indiana" "Minne>
apolis" :.or Texas dashes scorn-
fully BY the naval prodigy OF a few
years since, and shortly newer one
will look back and laugh at them.
The motor rushes by the crumbling
banks of the canal, Kissing out It's
mockery at the barge, rotting piece
mealsa while the emancipated car
horse reaches his hoof over the
fence from the succulent pasture to
the motorman as he rushes past,
and cries Shake"
The astronomer builds up his hy>
pothesis and is lost in the maze
of the nebular theory, when inven-
ton comes to the rescue; the gi,
gantlc telescope points upward, and
10 the raw material from which
worlds are manufactured, becomes
as A. B. c., and the defeated the
orizer ANONYMOUSLY retreats, to be
again routed on his next advance
when ingenuity shall have moved
the peg one hole further on the
map of creation.
Metal evolution is predominant
all material must follow. There is
! no effort of science or art that cam
not be exceeded, no depth of phi
losophy that cannot be sounded, no
invention that cannot be surpassed.
All nature is full of unknown
things, earth, air water, the limit,
less sky above, remain almost un-
touched before US. We are like
young students just going forth
from the schoolroom, clad oniy in
the rudiments-the PREDATORY intro
duction to the storehouses of knowl-
edge. Men of to-day cannot afford
to sit around, Archimedes-like, wait
ing for some one to bring them a
lever with which to move the world,
but hunt around, find the lever
themselves and apply it.
1t We would push Marietta for,
ward we must not supinely rest
upon our oars, but with spirit of
determination, inaugurate enter>
prises that will give employment to
laborers and operators and thus
augment business and enhance
profits.

might or might not do. During the day had he given the matter any particular thought, his narrow mind would have told him, no doubt, that they would remain at home, leaving him to join in any celebration that might occur up- town.
 Meanwhile, Mrs. Harmon and Rhoda, over their coffee cups, were having a discussion in which the husband and father had no place, excepting as a troublesome factor.
 "Rhoda, you'll have to give Tom up, that's all,' said Mrs. Harmon, in her gentle way. "I like him, but your pa doesn't; and you know how set your pa is when he makes up his mind Here's John Simpson, now. He'd give his two eyes for you-and you tell me you refused him. Why, child, that man isn't 30 yet, but he's worth hundred thousand, anyway"
 Lets not discuss the matter" said the girl, quietly. "I made up my mind on that matter some time ago, and there's no use talking about it''
 Fifteen minutes later Tom Wheeler drove up to the front gate, and Rhoda went out and joined him.
 The picnic was held in large grove about four miles from Watson, and hardly any denizen of the village old enough to comprehend what the day was set aside for missed attendance.
 As usual, there were several over-en- thusiastic persons there, and these had brought out an old brass cannon. of the vintage of 1912, which they were firing at such brief intervals as to warrant an accidept-and the accident happened.
 John Simpson was assisting in load ing the cannon, which was overloaded. and just at the moment that he was about to ram in charge of waddinr, the weapon was prematurely dis charged, carrying away the larger DOT. tion of his right arm.
 Quick as thought, Tom Wheeler. who was sitting with Rhoda in buggy near by, sprang out of the conveyance and ran to the rescue of his late rival.
 Mir. Harmon was also one of the first arrivals at the scene of the accident.
 Some people are always sticking their noses into other folks business. he sneered, as soon as he saw that John Simpson was not seriously injured. sX l."

WHAT WILL YOU SELL YOUR PLACE FOR"'

On the evening of the 2d of July the Watson Star came forth with the off, cial announcement of the committees action in the matter of arrangements for the celebration of the national holi- day.
 By most of the citizens of Watson the programme, as arranged by the committee, was looked upon as a huge joke. The very idea of Watson having | any kind of celebration involving such pusillanimous, essentially feminine number as is comprehended by picnic was almost incomprehensible and ex- ceedingly ludicrous.
 In one family, however, this picnic portion of the programme was taken seriously-very seriously. indeed. T will not stand it." said Mr. Harmon, as he sat opposite his wife at the supper table on the evening of the 3d of July.
 Il suppose that Rhoda expects to at tend that idiotic picnic with that young ass of a district school-teacher. It makes me sick to think that a daugh- ter of mine should become so infatuated with a forty-dollar-a month fool like that as to throw over man like John Simpson-with all the property that he has got, and with his known habits for sobriety. Where is Rhoda tonight, by the way?"
 'Wh-why, she's at Mrs. Wheeler's. She'll be back soon.''
 Why should she be over there?"
 Probably because she was invited over there," responded Mrs. Harmon, bridling a bit. Cant that girl have an evening out without you getting ugly about it?"
 Mir. Harmon bit into hot muffin and had nothing more to say.
 The national holiday opened as usual, about three a. m., with the firing of anvils and the enthusiastic but uncom- pretending plaudits of the American small boy.
 lihoda Harmon appeared very demure at the breakfast table on the morning of the glorious Fourth" She had little to say, but she smiled complacently as she took her seat and looked at her mother over the top of the tall old pewter coffee-pot.
 'How do you two women expect to spend the day?" asked MT. Harmon. with masculine snort.

board of Watson, and. in a general way, magnate of the village and most of the community of which it was part, meant to be fair to all mankind. he simply could not bear "that crazy school master" Tom Wheeler.
 He abominated him for his good looks :; for the fact that he had nothing of the worlds goods; because, instead of turn ing his hand to something profitable, he persisted in roaming around the country with a prospector's hammer and some geological work (never with out the boolI); and, last but not least, because he was in love with Rhoda, and Rhoda seemed to be rather glad of it than otherwise.
 Watson was a patriotic town. Never national holiday came around but that Watson was ahead of its neighbors in patriotism and enthusiasm.
 On this particular occasion the citi- zens of Watson had made unusual prep arations to celebrate the national holi- day. There had been a committee ap- pointed, which was expected to arrange the days programme, and this commit tee had arranged for quiet celebration something that the town of Watson had never known before.
 It had been what is known in the west as ''hot town," but within the past year or two it had become more or less an adjunct of civilization. The fact was, that with the advent of bet ter times and the consequent influx of miners wives, mothers and sweethearts. the town began to be ashamed of itself, and its individual citizens began to think seriously of the future.

out, and by the time you get back home again you'll be half dead; and, Rhoda, don't suppose your friend Tom Wheel CT will overlook an opportunity like this to install himself as the escort of the female members of the Harmon fam ily?"
 Rhoda answered not word, merely glancing at her father as he drew back his chair in a manner intended to be expressive of disgust, and left the breakfast table and the house.
 Presently he returned, having had short walk around the yard, and, opening the door, remarked:
 ''I am an old soldier and a patriot, but I fail to see what use there is in trying to celebrate the nations Firth day with ice cream and lemonade. ] am going down to the store, and l want to be let alone, except by people who are enthusiastic over the day because 1t is nations birthday and as for the rest of them, those who howl merely be- cause it is a holiday, want them to keep away from me"
 John Harmon dominated his "women folks"-at least, he thought he did. Had anyone suggested to him tha. his meek little wife and handsome daughter had their way in any manner whatever, he would have scoffed at the idea He was hy no means tyrant, but he was one of those men who cannot bear to think that they are not omnipotent in their own family circle.
 When John Harmon left his home that morning and walked to the store, he was not at all disturbed by any thought of what his wife and daughter
