One on the Governor.

One of the best stories yet heard on
Governor Atkinson was told by himself
to party of admirers who were chatting
with him in the parlor OF the hotel at
Cochran, on his return from his recent
visit to the Chautuqua at Hawkinsville.
The story is such good one that it is
worth repeating:
cit was during my recent inspection o!
the convict camps" said the Governor.
Among other places visited were the
coal mines; and, in order to make thor-
ough inspection, it was necessary 10 90
down into the mines and see the convicts
at work. Two guards accompanied me
down into the mines. They showed M
everything of interest, and finally took
me to where the convicts were at work
AS we approached them, ono Of the con:
victs rushed over to me, crying: GOOD
Lord, Bill Atkinson, as sure as live
I never expected to see you here. What
on earth, Bill, did they convict you o.
doing?' I readily recognized the man as
one whom I had known since my boy.

Apples for Boys.

DR.. Ballard says !: "Within the last
few weeks two of my own children
have given me a good example of what
fruit will do. Two months ago [ de-
cided to let these two boys, aged six
and eight. 60 to my farm amongst the
apple-packers. They were not actual
ly i'll when they went out, neither had
they been at all shut up, but they
were pale-looking, would not eat their
food, etc. During the last two months
they made their boast they ate dozen
apples day each, and as soon as they
began eating these apples their appe.
tite for other food about doubled, and
during the eight weeks they have
grown stout and robust, skin clear and
healthy with the glow of health on
their cheeks, and bodily strength equal
to any amount of exertion.
Gas medicine, look upon fruit
asamost valuable ally. AS previously
shown, when the body is in that break
ing up condition known as scurvy, the
whole medical profession look upon
fruit and fresh vegetables as the one
and only known remedy. I believe
the day will come when science will
use it very much more largely than it
does now the treatment of many OF
the everyday ailments. l have shown
how it aids digestion. Observations
in scurvy prove that it exerts a very
powerful influence on the blood. But
the blood is the life;;' poor blood
means poor spirits, poor strength,
poor breath, and poor circulation.
Impure blood means gout, rheumatism,
skin diseases, ricketts,, and other
troubles. AS it is proved that fruit
will purify and improve the quality OF
the blood, it must follow fruit is both
food and medicine combined. In
fevers I use grapes and straw berries.
giving them to my patients in small
but frequent doses; oranges and baked
apples, if the others are not obtainable.
For rheumatism, plenty Of lemons are
invaluable. White girls with miser-
able pallid compilations want quart
of strawberries a day; where these are
not obtainable, bananas, which contain
much iron, are a good substitute.
Probably, of all fruits, the apple
stands unrivalled for general purposes
in the household; either raw or cooked,
it can be taken by nearly every body,
and it contains similar properties to
the other more delicate fruits.-Jour-
nal of Hyqicnc.

Why She Didn't Marry.

It's old, but it's good, and so We
give it:
;tNow, Aunt Sallie, do please tell
us why you never got married. You
remember you said once when you
were a girl you were engaged to a
minister and promised US you would
tell us about it sometime. Now, aunt;
please tell US. u
"Well, you see when | was about
II years old l was living in Utica, in
the State of New York. Though |
say it myself I was quite cookbook
ing girl then and had several beaux.
The one that took my fancy was
young minister, a very promising
young man, and he was very pious and
steady. He thought good deal Of
me and kind of took fancy to him,
and things went on until we were en-
gagged. One evening he came to me,
put his arms around me and kind of
hugged me, when l got excited and
somewhat frustrated. 1t was long
time ago, and I don't know but what
I might have hugged back little. I
was like any other girl, and pretty
soon pretended to be very mad about
it, and pushed him away, though [
wasn't mad u bit. You must know
that the house where I lived was on
one of the back streets of the town.
There were glass doors in the parlor
which opened over the street. These
doors were drawn to. I stepped back
little from him and when he came
close I pushed him back again. |
pushed harder than I intended to; and
don't you think, girls, the poor fellow
lost his balance and fell through one
Of the doors into the street.
"Oh, Aunty! Was he killed?'
"No; he fell head first, and as he
was going I caught him by the legs of
his trousers. I held on for minute
and tried to pull him back, but his
| suspenders gave way, and the poor
young man fell clear out Of his panta-
looms into parcel Of ladies and gen
tlemen passing along the street.
ooh, Aunty! Aunty! Lordy"

''But, Aunt Sally, what became Of
him ? Did you ever see him again Z
''No; the moment he touched the

The Bicycle In the Army.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-The war
department has made public the re-
port of Second Lieut.. James A. Moss,
the 25th infantry, who commanded
the bicycle corps which made the long
Journey from Fort Missoula, Mont,
to St. Louis last summer. The docu-
ment is filled with information of the
greatest value to bicyclists whc con-
template making long trips. Every
ounce of food easen, every days mis-
haps and experiences are set down
with military exactness, but in style
that makes the subject entertaining
reading for wheelmen. There were
many long miles of walking and sleep
ing in the rain, of toiling along in the
hot sun and in the sleet, of suffering
from the use of alkali water, of hunger
and thirst. The purpose was to test
the value of the bicycle in the army,
and the conclusion of Lieut.. Moss on
this point in his own language is as
follows:
Military cycling in our army is in
it's infancy, and no one but person
who has had actual experience in this
line can fully appreciate the poss:bili-
ties of the wheel as a machine tor
military work. The bicycle has a
number of advantages over the horse.
1t does not require so much care, it
needs no forage, it moves much fnster
over fair roads, it is not so conspicu-
Gus, and can be hidden from view
more easily, it is noiseless and raises
but little dust, and it is impossible to
determine direction from its tracks.
Furthermore, the fighting strength
of bicycle corps is not diminished
by horseholders." Under favorable
conditions the bicycle is invaluable
for courier work, scouting duty, road
patrolling, rapid reconnaissance, etc.
A bicycle corps as an adjunct to in
fantry or cavalry could render excel
lent service where speed rather than
number is required, such as taking
possession of passes, bridges and
strong places ahead Of the command
and holding them until reinforccments
could be got from the main road. On
the other hand, in rainy weather, over
bad roads, etc., the horse is superior.
The thought of the bicycle doing away
with the cavalry altogether is ludi-
crous. Each has peculiar functions
of its own-a particular field in which
under certain conditions the one is
superior to the other. The question,
therefore, which confronts us is:
Should not modern, up-to-date army
have both, that it might avail itself Of
the advantages of the one or the other,
as the proper conditions present them
selves

After the Dispcnsary, What
The Greenville llou,,tai,,eer says:

The Greenville Mountdineer says:
"The lines are eliminating for conflict
over the liquor question. The Legislature
must deal with this matter at the session
next winter and the crucial test will be
mado as to the continuance of the dispen-
sary system, which has been so badly
damaged in the courts and even moro
fearfully maDgled by the unwise admin
istration of the law, coupled with streaks
of corruption here and there and the nse
of the system as a political machine. The
people are getting wofully tired Of the
troubles and vexations incident to par.
tisan enforcement of the law, where
everything is gauged by it's political
effect. This alone has cost the dispensary
legion of friends in every part of the
measure for the better control of the
liquor traffic.
The agitation which is coming very
fast will inquire whether prohibition or
high license will be the best substitute
for the dispensary. The element that
was always friendly to barrooms will, for
the most part, favor high license as the
nearest approach to the saloon system
that is admissible under the new Consti-
tuition. But we are persuaded that the
majority of the Democratic voters in this
State do not wish as substitute for the
dispensary any plan for regulating the
sale of liquor which has resemb blance to
barrooms, and that they will infinitely
prefer trial of prohibition for which
they voted five years ago. In our judg-
ment the members of the legislature, if
any change is made from the dispensary
law, are morally bound to enact pro-
hibitory law for the time being at least,
and then to submit the question to the
Democratic primary next summer
whether prohibition or high license shall
prevail thereafter.
The logical position for legislators,
without regard to their personal prefer
ences and inclinations, is to enact pro-
hibitory law at once, in accordance with
the wishes of the majority who declared
for this measure in 1892. They did not
get their desire at that time, and the sub
stitute for it has been experimental with
until there is broad and deep conviction
that prohibition should take its rightful
place. The legislature would be consist,
ent and fully justified by the passage ol
an act prohibiting the sale of liquor alto.
gether, and put the experiment on trial
until the voters can be given another
| opportunity to express their matured
convictions on the subject.
Even if the dispensary is retained
which seems to US quite unlikely, the
| test should be made in the next campaign
whether majority of the voters favor
the dispensary, high license or prohibi.
ton, and if neither shall receive ma
jority in the first primary, let the test
be made between the two highest in 6
second primary. 1t is time the people
were having chance to say what they
want in regard to question that has dis
turbed our State so much in recen
| years.
