Have you got nerves? Well you
ought to have nerves. But they ought
to be strong nerves, good nerves. Does
your hand tremble? You are living too
fast. Does your heart 1utter a. times?
You had better call q halt. Americans
live too fast. They crowd too much into
a single day. They have too little leis-
ure. The hospitals and insane asylums
are filing up. The quiet. pastoral scenes
of yore are becoming rare. It's time
that we quit this sort of business.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases

years was supposed to be lncurable.
Fur great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a looal disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable, Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional di-
sease, and therefore requires constitu-

AMERICUs. Ca, AUG. 80. 1902.

President Roosevelt wishes a constr
tutional amendment that will place
control of the trusts in the national
government. But how long would it
take to secure such an amendment?
Would the President guarantee that it
could be secured in FIVE years, or ten
years, or even fifteen years? Amending
the constitution is slow and tedious
process, as has been abundantly de-
monstrated. And while the agitation IN
favor of q constitutional change was
going on, the trusts would be lncreas-
ing their power.

AS TO THE sPEAKERsHIP.

The Withdrawal of Hon. Walter E. |
Steed from the race for the speakership !
Of the next house of representatives re-
lieves the situation of some compIica-
tions. a careful review of the situa-
tion, with Mr.. Steed ont of the race,
leads to the following Conclusions:
Mr.. Morris will not, as he claims,
draw all or even a great part of Mr..
Steed's support. He will doubtless
get some of il, as will also Mr.. Mitchell,
bat the greater psrt will go to Mr..
George This support will give Mr..
George the lead on the first ballot I'M
questionabIy.
Mr.. Morris will draw most of his sup
port from northwest Georgia, with a
few scattering votaA from other sec
tons. The sum total Of his support
will hardly exceed fifty on the first
ballot. Mr. Mitchell will draw his sup
port mainly from south and southwest
Georgia, with good many votes in the
south middle section, and scattering
votes over the state generally. He will
lead Mr.. Morris on the first ballot by
perhaps five or ten votes.
Mr.. George will receive the great
er part of his support from mid
die, northeastern and southeast
Georgia, with strong support
10 the middle west sectIoa. He
will probably lead Mr. Mitchell by
ten votes. He is at a disadvantage in
this; Few of the members know his
real strength, and the idea has gotter
abroad that, Mr.. Mitchell and Mr. Nor
ris having been pitted against eaet
other in the speaker pro TEN, fight two
years ago, the present nght is DetWeeL
them But this disadvantage Is more
than offset by the belief on the pari
of nearly all the members that Mr.
George is by far the best equipped
+ candidate for the speakership, and
there is hardly Mitchell or Morris
partisan but who would be glad to see
. Mr.. George elected speaker He is
= we'll liked, and his ability is well recog-
, nlzed by all of them. This will make
n his election easy,if he leads on the first
Q ballot, and this is what his faends pre-
4 dict he will do.

TEACH AGRICgLTURE.

The elementary principles of agricul-
ture are to be taught in some of the ru-
raj schools in Lowndes county during
the next term, and the chances are that
that branch will be introduced into
the curriculum of the county schools
in future. County School Commission
or Merritt has been examining nam
Der of works on the subject, bat has
not accepted either of them yet. He
will accept one of three books which
he is now reading and will have it
used in the schools next term as an
experiment. He is pleased with the
outlook and seems to think that a
revolution will be worked in that way.
1t is known that while all other call
lngs have been dignlfied in the schools
there has been no attention paid to
the calling of the farmer, thought it
predominates all others in Georgia.
Commissioner Merritt says that sew
eral counties IN the state are intro
ducing agricultural training in the
rurpl schools this year.

TAXATION FOR COUNTY SCHOOLS

In his forthcoming report to the leg
islature State School Commissioner
Glenn will again urge upon that body
the importance of local county taxa
ton for the support of the schools
In previous message to the gen
eral assembly Governor Gambler also
endorsed this idea, and urged that no
state funds should be available in a
county until at least such county had
supplemented the state aid by at least
40 per cent of the sam that would go
to such county
Governor Gambler may again urge
this recommendation in his c'osing
message. One of the drawbacks to
the rural school system is the slim
and at times irregular attendance
How to remedy this is a problem with
the school authorities.
One plan suggested is that of sum
mer schools, but the advisability OF
Summer schools is very doubtful
While there are some arguments IN
their favor, yet they are outweighed by
arguments against them OF a stronger
nature.
AS is known, the term is not more
than two months in length and before
this is over children are taken from
school for fall farm work. Without a
steady attendance there can be no
marked degree of success in our ru-
raj schools. Besides, the intense sum
mer heat, which prevents close ap-
plicAtion to books, there are the
annual protracted services, singing
schools aad other things that the
children attend--thereby distracting
their minds.

Senator Jones, of Arkansas, Chairman
Of the National Democratic Executive
Committee, thinks that the next Demo
cratic candidate for President should
come from one of the four States Of
New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
He leaves ont Nebraska. The four
States named by Senator Jones had q
total of SO electoral votes. These four
States went Republican in 1896 and in
1900, In 1904 these States will have a
total of 1O4 electoral votes. Democrats
cannot afford TO lose all of these 104
votes. We have never had much re-
spect for Senator Jones political iudg-
ment, but it is not at fault in this in
stance.

Hopeless Consumption

81 believed my case to be one of hopeless con.
sumption. Why? Because every symptom pointed
To that disease.
After thorough examination by a Washington
physician who knew my case, was told by him
that IL consumption. As I understood this
disease to be incurable I naturally felt not only
depressed but discouraged and alarmed
II felt that / could not afford to trife with
physicians who did not make consumption a spe-
cialty. My lungs all stopped up and for
many months ! had been coughing, splitting and
hawking large quantities Of yellow matter. My
case went on from bad to worse. Ny lungs were
raw and panied me whenever coughed especially
my right lung. ] daily losing flesh and

II knew Of others who had been cured OF con-
sumption by the Koch Lung Cure SO I went to
them at their institution at 730 11th st. n.w.,
Washington. They gave me hope. Like a drown
ing man. who grasps at a straw TO his life,
determined TO try the treatment.
Il breathed those healing oily vapors into my
lungs, and they seemed TO do me good. My lungs
began get better. Ny bad symptoms one by one
left me. I grew stronger and better, and began
10 that my life would yet be saved. I con-
tinued 10 take this treatment week after week.
and now. after four months OF careful treatment 1
have been made strong and well again. Why
should ! not reccmmend the treatment that saved
my life?
II therefore offer my testimonial for publication
as wish TO indorse this treatment, thoroughly be-
iieving il TO be a positive for that fatal
scourge, consumption. I can only speak OF what
IL has done for ne. My case was hopeless under
ordinary treatment Medicine taken into the stom-

Language of the Amendment.

| There is no language in such amendment
attempting in any wise to segregate from
| the ten justices of the peace any particular
four of them to be legislated out, leaving
the remaining six to constitute the six jus
tices of the peace provided for in the
amendment If such a construction of the
amendment were attempted the amendment
would fail for uncertainty and would prove
an ineffective law, 1t would be void for
uncertainty.
While your communication does not ques-
tton the validity of the appointments OF the
ten persons now at least de facto holding
the offices of justices of the peace in the
District of Columbia, yet IL their appoint
ments were originally void and they are
merely de facto and not de jure justices of
the peace under such original appointments,
not considering for this purpose the ef-
feet of the amendment to section of the
code, ] extremely doubt If you would be
justified in paying to them their salaries
as such merely de facto officers out of the
appropriation In question. The doubts as
to the validity of their original appoint
ments grew out of the following facts:
Original Appointments.
The code now effective in the District of
Columbia was approved on the Sd day of
March, 1901 to become effective such on
the 1st day of January, 1902. This latter
fact will prove to be of Importance, as
will be seen later on.
Prior to the enactment and taking effect
of the code there were fifteen justices of
the peace in the District of Columbia, who
had for their ministerial officers certain
consta bles. Each of these sets of officers
received compensation for their services
as such certain fees provided by law. The
code. by section g. provided for ten justices
of the peace and made them salaried Off
GERS. and fixed their compensation at $1,000
each per year.
The repeating section of the code repealed
all former laws upon the subject.
I assume it is not a question in serious
controversy that the effect of the repeating
clause was to legislate out of office the then
existing justices of the peace and con-
stables. This is the construction given the
code by both the courts and by the Presi-
dent and Congress. The President on the
18th day of December, 1901, nominated to
the Senate. and on the 18th day of the
same month the Senate confirmed the pres
ent justices of the peace provided for by
the code On the. 24th day of the same
month. and before the first day of January,
1902. the said justices took their respective
oaths of office and gave bond, and accept
ed such offices on the 1st of January,
1902. the date when the code went into ef-
feet. and entered upon the duties of these
offices and have continued to exercise them
up to the present time.

ATTRACTIVE TEA PARTY
Mrs. Boyce and Mrs. Smith Provide
a Pleasing Social Affair for
Their Friends.

One of the most pleasing social
affairs that has been held during the
summer occurred Thursday afternoon
and evening, when Mrs. S. G. Boyce
and Mrs. Sidney ". Smith enter
tanned about 50 ladies at the home
of the former on east Third street,
the occasion being a five O'Clock tea.
The door was attended by Helen
Hoon. The Mesdames Boyce and
Smith were assisted in their enter
tainment by Mrs. Geo. E. Foster,
Mrs. a. E. Hitchcock, Mrs. C. W.
Hoon and Mrs. Frank Jeffr:es.
The rooms were decorated with a
large variety of flowers and the scene
was a very pretty one indeed. The
tables were laid in three rooms, and
as a mean of finding the places at
the tables a novel method was en-
ployed. Slips of papers were passed
containing a portion of the line of
the national hymn, and when these
two were matched the ladies got the
verses together and took their places
at the tables. at each plate was a
bouquet of sweet peas, red at one
table, white at another and blue at
the last, the color scheme being to
represent the American flag in colors.
After a very dainty menu had been
served the ladies Joined in singing
the national hmyn. /.
At the conclusion of refreshments
all adjourned to the lawn and for an
hour or more social conversation
flowed along uninterruptedly and
pleasantly.
The party was something unique
in the way Of serving and decorations
and the two hostesses are entitled
to considerable credit for their
delightful manner Of entertaining
their friends.
