It IS mothers duty to crown her child with that greatest blessing any human being can possess good health. This she can only do by taking proper care of herself prior to the child's birth, and especially during the period of gestation. Too few women realize the importance of their own health. Too few understand that the health of their children is dependent upon the vigor and health of the organs of reproduc- tion. A woman who is to become mother owes it to her offspring to take thought of the most important and delicate organs of her body.
 Every woman may be strong and healthy in this respect and insure the health of her child by taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription. It is designed for the cure of weakness and disease of the organs dis tinctly feminine. It Is the best medicine for this purpose in all the world. More of it is sold than of all other similar medicines combined. Thousands have testified to its beneficial effects. It a1lays inflammation and restores the organs to their natural, reg ular, healthy action. It makes the coming of baby easy and comparatively paiu1ess.
 Mrs. Rachael Clark, of Houton St. croix Co, Wis, writes: am in good health since have taken Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription have taken three bottles which cost me one dollar each. gave birth to f2N pound boy last June, He is six months old now, and weighs 90 pounds, and has two teeth.

ECONOMY NEEDED.

When, however, it is considered that those who bear the burdens of taxa tion have no guaranty of honest care save in the fidelity of their public ser wants, the duty of all possible retreheh- ment is plainly manifest,
 When our differences are forgotten, and our contests of political opinion are no longer remembered, nothing in the retrospect of our public service will be as fortunate and comforting as the re- collection of official duty we'll per- formed, and the memory of a constant devotion to the interests of our confi- ding fellow countrymen.

That minister of the Gospel has
she right to vote and to express his
convictions upon the political issues
OF the day, no enc can deny; but
even in doing this it becomes him to
be exceedingly cautious, for he may
be the pastor OF the people VINO be-
long to different parties, and he can
not afford to become partisan. 1t
may be admitted that a preacher
has the right to enter the political
arena, but l seriously doubt if it is
eXpedient for him to do so. [ have
never known preacher to do it, no
matter what excuses he might as
sign, who did not lose caste. These
reflections have been suggested by
reading the declaration OF DIR. r. G..
Bur]eson, OF Texas, to the commit
tee that had informed him that he
had been nominated tor governor
upon the prohibition ticket. Dr..
BuYNeson said, "Fitty years ago l
consecrated my life to preaching
the Gospel and to Christian edu-
cation, and all the honors and gold
mines on earth could not swerve me
from that great life purpose, since l
am profoundly convinced that in
this way can best promote the
glory OF God and the welfare of my
beloved Texas" These are strong

that he is correct in feeling that by
continuing in the ministry he can
best promote the glory Of God and
the welfare OF Texas. And | feel
sure that any preacher can do more
to help every good cause by keeping
out Of politics, and saying, "This
one thing l do"
An observation of twenty years
has taught me that the preachers
who become politicians are not in
fluenced SO much by the great cause
which they pretend to espouse, and
for which they are almost ready to
suffer martyrdom, as they are by
personal ambition and consuming
desire for the honors and emolu-
ments of the world. This is the
real ruling power, and the power is
held up as an excuse for doing that
which they know all good men will
condemn. But no amount Of per-
sonal explanation, and no condition
by which we may be confronted,
will cause people to justify minis
tel of the Gospel in leaving the
highest calling in this world, and
coming down to the stencil and filth

ton, and are from as unreliable
sources as that furnished him by a
"gentleman from Cobb" and if
called before court OF investigation
he couldn't substantiate them to
save his life. Then why be 50 reck-
less as a mouthpiece for others, who
like the Pharisee cry out 81 am
holy than thou" and yet are willing
to circulate false statements?
In the elections held in Cobb
county some Of the Justices of the
Peace are Populists and both par
ties have been represented by man
ayers in all the precincts. This evil
dence was brought out in Or. Eel
toms contest case last year, which
the popnlists in crying fraud failed
to prove.
The Democrats place a paddock
on the mouths of the populists OF
Cobb county by allowing them rep
resentation in the management OF
elections, and they have to admit
the elections are fairly held.
1t will be seen in this issue that
the County Democratic Executive
Committee has passed a resolution
recommending a division of manag-
ers.
Therefore, Mr.. Jones will see that
the democrats can't "ehew up a few
ballots after midnight" as he &C,
knowledges he did ''betore he was
converted twenty-four years ago."
And, by the way, Mr.. Jones,
where was it that you ''ehewed up
ballots" legally cast? Were you
under oath? You remember in
some OF your pathetic sermons you
depicted yourself as having been
worthless drunkard, picked from
the cutters of Gainesville. We all
rejoice that the grace of God has
done so much for you, but if yon
was as bad and disreprtable as you
have said at that time, why was
it you was made manager OF an cleo
ton and allowed access to the ballot
box latter midnight" : Was it on
account Of your bilty,goat propensi-
ties to ''chew up ballots" or because
there was no sober mon, willing to
do the honest thing, where you liv-
ed at that time? A number of peo>
pie have curiosity enough to want
to know where and when you did it.
Can't you tell them? You have
given the ''bill Of tare," now give
the particulars. Tell US when and
where that midnight banquet took
place. You know in little towns
the ballots are counted before mid.
night, the sworn result certified to,
and the box sealed. How did you
do it!
Now, Mr.. jones' we hope yoa will
take your own advice, don't get

your heels. You know these little

while she knows that no negro blood

The Cuban climate breeds Incidence

this in the air, and they love to recline
in hammocks and willow rocking chairs

wonder that the Cuban lady is lazy and

is taught to embroider, to be polite, TO

She is naturally timid, shy and appre-

Corbett has been so long in the hands

his business sense might argue against.
His temper is hotter than his love for

former is aroused he casts the other to

MUSCLE VS.. SCIENCE
THE CORBETT-SHARK BAT
TIE TO BE A TEST.
CHANCES OF The BIG 'UNS
Without Brady as Manager 1t Is
Thought That Corbett Will Probab-
ly Do Less Talking and More Fight
ing-His Popularit" in Need of Re
suscitation.

New York, Sept. 19.-To the metro
rolitan sports it really looks as if
there would be a fight between Cor
bett ard Snarkey. There is not the
shadow of a doubt but that Sharkey
wants to fight. If the matter should
end in a fiasco the blame will rest upon
the shoulders of COrbett, and all the
talking and bluf1ng in the world will
not clear him of the charge.
The issue is clearly and sharply de-
fined and Corbett is too shrewd a man
to attempt any tricks under these con-
ditions. He has already suffered Sc
verely in the opinion of the public. and
z his powers as stage attraction
have sadly diminished, he fluids it nee
essary to do something to revive popu-
lar interest in himself.
There is another reason that makes
the sports believe that Corbett will not
shirk the issue This is the resigna-
nation of Billy Brady as the manager
of the big Californian. Brady was
shrew manager, but he did more to
este blish and push along the game of
pugilistic talk than any man in the
business He was forever quibbling
end raising petty obstacles which were
all right from a money making stand
point but from sporting view they
were all wrong. Brady insisted upon
having the big end of everything, and

this is true only in a modified way.
Outside Of Cuba they would not be con-
sldered handsome, according to Ameri-
can standards; but in her own fair
nome, where the tropical setting neces-
sary to make the picture perfect is al
most ideal, the Cuban lady is bewitch-
ingly charming. She is a product of her
own tropical island, and one must see
fer with her natural surroundings to
appreciate her grace of form and feat
ures. She has an eXquisitely moulded
form, which is always set off to the best
possible advantage by the thin, gauzy
garments that cling in graceful folds
from her shoulders and waist. Her
face and features are small and regu-
lar, with full, red pair of lips. small
mouth, rounded cheeks, and small,
white, even teeth; her hair is always
black ard abundant, waving in tangled
masses down her shoulders; and her
eyes, Oriental in shape and splendor,
are always expressive, glowing and
softening into tender, bewitching
smiles when pleased.

crafty Mitchell, he should, according
10 all the ring precepts, vanquish the
former sailor in Uncle Sans navy. All
ring experts claim, as they have for a
century or more. that science is superb
O. to strength. Corbett has pounds Of
strength the sailor man could lose Cor
bett.
So on pape" it looks as if Corbett
should do the trick. But there are two
potent and unusual factors which must
he considered in this battle One is
the won ierful ability of Sharkey to
stand punishment, and he is physically
fortified TO stand a blow which would
kill an ordinary man. Corbett may hit
him tweu~v times without phasing him,
but he will weaken his own hands. and
perhaps ..I:ve the knuckles up into the
back Of the hands.
Sharkey has a peculiar neck. 1t is
seventeen inches around, and is TRAN
gular in shape, that is, it is very broad
al the back and tapers almost to a
point in front. 1t is covered with tiny
muscles. which are as hard as the
amor of a warship. Corbett will have
stiff work to get around this neck and
knock Sharkey out by joltlng him on
the point Of the jaw. Not only does
his neck protect him, but the set of
his head, which is sunk low between
the masses of muscles on the tops of
his shoulders, makes a very small tar
set.
To pound Sharkey in the chest, in
the region of the heart, would not be
g Fruitful; policy. His body muscles
are wonderful, comparing favorably
with those of Sandow. Sharkey's
friends say that a man could hit him
on the chest with a sledge hammer
jolting him. The waist of the
sailor is not SO we'll developed as the
rest Of lis body, but Corbett would
have some difficulty in playing for his
wind, owing to Sharkey's
low stature. Corbet is the taller by
four and three-quarter inches, and
while he has the better reach by two
inches, he could not safely play for
the sailors wind.
Sharkey has been described as a.
