NEWS AND VIEWS.

Rev. Thomas Dixon seems to have out
Dixoned Dixon in his last sermon. He
predicted that not one of the churches
now existing will SURVIVE 200 years, and
then went on to say he had rather be in
hell with Moses MOntenOre than in heav-

Dixon is carrying his sensationahsm in
the pulpit little too far. He is evident
ly trying to aid in the church extinction
which he predicts.

DISPENSARY DISCUSSED.
The Benefits That Would Re Derived Set
Forth,

| The grand jury have recommended
the establishment of a dispensary,
the times demand it, the people want
! it, good morals cry for it, and IL is
| bound to come.
We are firmly convinced that for the
present at least it is the practical So
luton Of the Whiskey question, and
while it does not eradicate all the evils
attendant upon its sale it so CirCum-
scribes these evils until they are reduC-
ed to a minimum. 1t has been tried
successfully in Athens, GAINESVILLE, FIT.
Gaines and Camilla, and meets the I'M
qualified appreciation Of the best peO-
pie of these cities. 1t has been found
TO be better from a moral standpoint
than quasi prohibition with blind til
gers on every corner, and far better
from both a moral and a financial
standpoint than the licensed saloon. 1t
stops social drinking, the worst feature
connected with licensed saloon, and
more than doubles tn revenue for pub
lie purposes. In all the towns and Cit
les that now have the dispensary Whis-
key is sold only in bottles, for the cash,
and no one is allowed to drink it in or
around The building in which it is sold.
The dispensary opens at sunrise and
closes promptly at sunset, Hence, af-
ter supper social drinking and mid
night carOusals around barrOOms, when
our young men so often go astraY. are
impossible and unknown. Judging
from the experience of other places,
with one or more dispensarIes estab-
lished in our county, and the money
derived therefrOm given equally to the
towns and the scounty, our taxes
would be lessened by half. The net
proceeds, which ought to amount to
5000 yearly, could be applied to pay
ing off the court house bonds for the
county, or to increasing the length of
the school term, and that which goes
to the towns could be applied to their
running expenses, which, in Dawson at
least, are bearing very heavily upon the
taxpayers.
Viewed from any standpoint the es-
Establishment of the dispensary system
would be a good thing for Terrell cOun-
ty. 1t is bound to come, and we say
God speed the day.

HOW TO FIND OUT,

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates a
diseased condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
wHATTO DO.
There is comfort IN the knowledge so
often expressed that DR.. Gi!mer's Swamp
Root, the great liver remedy fulflls ev-
cry wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. 1t cOrrects inabil-
ity to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following the
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during
the night to urinate. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists; price fifty cents and one dollar per
bottle. For sample bottle and pam
phlet, both sent free by mail, mention

Commissioner of Agriculture Mes
bitt, upon returning to his office at
the capitol, after being away look
ing after the states exhibit at Nash
vile. found in some of the news
papers that had accumulated in his
office interviews and articles that Caus-
ed him considerable annoyance. Itap-
pears that Minnesotaon by the name
of Or. J. c. Currier, representing him
self as the agent of the farmers lnsti-
tute corps of Minnesota, has been do
ing some talking about the Georgia
department OF agriculture. DR., Cur
rier says that he came to Georgia for
the purpose of Investigating conditions
here with a view of advising farmers
of his state who want to come here
and settle. The Minnesota farmers,
he says, are dissatisfied with their
present cOnd. ton. and threaten a gen.
al exodus to the south, and Georgia es-
pecially. He says they want to keep
the farmers in Minnesota if possible,
but ii they cannot, then the OrganiZa-
tiOn which he represents wants to be
sure that they are not going from bad
to worse when they pull up stakes to
head this way.
DR.. Currier, 1t appears, took it for
granted that the state department Of
agriculture >,aS no good, and without
seeking for any information there, af-
ter entering the southern portion of
the state he gave out some newspaper
interviews expressing his views along
the line RV these interviews and tho
articles based upon them the depart
ment has been criticised tor failing to
provide literature giving detailed IN
formation of the states resources.
This, Commissioner Nesbitt declar-
ed, was great injustice, as his depart
ment only short time ago completed
the publication of what has been gen
orally commended as most valuable
work of this kind. The book covers
nearly a thousand pages and goes into
details OF the soil, water powers, eli
mate, production, etc, of every county
IN the state.

acCOmpaniedthe floods and the pest OF
buffalo gnats which followed the high

scare the crews of the Nashville, Chat

Trainmen on the PaduCah division
report that more snakes are to be seen
along the road now than ever before in
its history. Thousands of serpents of
every variety, ven0mous and otherwise,
are seen daily along the track in west
Kentucky and Tennessee. The snakes
are cut to pieces in hundreds by the car
wheels as they cross the rails. They
knot themselves in festOOns upon the
fences along the right of way and
swarm in the creeks and ponds. Garter
snakes, milk snakes, thunder snakes,
rattlers, copper heads, bull snakes,
black snakes, blue racers, mOccasins,
queen snakes, cotton mouths, high
binders, vipers, spreading adders and
half dozen other kinds are in evil

Vote off the $40 per capita of tariff

By reducing federal expenses and pen

Since the outset of the last presiden-

set IN strongly against the republican
party unless the depression of business
IS altered. 1dleness and want of bread
breed bitter discomfort which will new
\er be overcome until there are ample
emplOyments. The foes America has
TO fear are not the savage Turks nor

that worse times can never come than
those now existing. 1t is terrible
thing to observe public sentiment
adritt and unexplained and the people
sweeping away from their affection to
the old party. The young men are
growing up Indifferent to republican

That the blood of slaughtered Christians
Shed by fend's commands

Gave up his life that man might be
Purged Of his sinful drOss-
How will they answer when they re asked,
why sat ye idle by
And saw my people fall IN heaps
Beneath Armenia's sky?
"What did ye, We kings divine
