DISPENSARIES.

1t is to be sincerely hoped that
the proposition TO establish a dis
pensary in Marietta will not carry.
The only argument produced in
its favor-that it produces revenue
will be, upon experiment, found
to be very delusive. When you
read in the newspapers about the
vast profit arising from these dis
pensaries, amounting in some in
stances to such sums as not only
avoid the necessity of levying tax
es but enable the counties where
they exist to loan their surplus
funds, you may be sure that all
other lines of business are suffe.-
ers by the competition of the dis
pensaries. Where there is only a
certain amount of money to be
divided and an excessive amount
goes to one party, of a necessity
all the other parties must receive
a reduced amount. The taxes of
merchant, the doctor, the LAWYER
may be lower with the dispensary
In operation but it is certain that
everyone respectively will sell less
goods or secure smaller fees for his
services, a difference which in a
year might amount to many times

IMPRACTICABLE.

The proposition of Governor
Terrell to establish an agricultural
college in every congressional dis
trict in this state is obviously i'm
practicable. The governor de-
clares that with buildings and
grounds donated by towns in each
district the expense of maintain
ing the colleges would be only 49,
600 each or $33, 900 for the state
(Which amount he proposes to take
from a source which now provides
funds for the common schools) is
certainly much below the mark
unless pupils are charged heavily
for tuition fees in which event the
colleges would be a failure for
want of patronage. The state al
ready has the greatest abundance
of higher institutions of learning
which are supported from the pub
lie treasury. What she needs now
is an efficient common school sys-
tenn, and instead of Withdrawing
anything from the pittance now
allowed it, it should be strength
ened by giving it, if need be, the
money now appropriated for the
colleges. The colleges are for the
few, the schools are for the many.
If the plan of Governor Terrell
were adopted (which it will not be-
perhaps one young person out of
every seventy-five or hundred in
each congressional district would
patronize the college in that dis
trict.

A MELANGE OF LIVE TOPICS
Penned for Journal Readers
by q Local Scribe.
WHITFIELD'S MEMBER.

The republican member of the
legislature from Whitfield county
has introduced a bill to abolish
capital punishment IN this state
for all crimes except the crime of
rape. The murder record Of Geor-
gia for the ten years preceding
1900 has been on an average 381
homicides Fer annum, and Stats
tics prove that the average length
of confinement of life convicts is,
| believe, fifteen years. With the
strong hope left in intending MUIR
derers that they will escape pun
ishment altogether for the crimes,
or that they will be pardoned
after serving short terms in the
penitentiary, there is no doubt
that the number of murders in
this state would be speedily
doubled or trebled. But once the
criminally inclined are convinced
that their own lives will surely
and swiftly be the forfeit for the
lives of others which they take
they will be very careful how they
stain their hands with the blood
of their fellow creatures.
This same republican member
voted against the democratic NOM
inee for United States senator
giving as a reason therefor that
his party wished to preserve their
organization IN this state and
therefore he felt it incumbent
upon himself to give his vote to a
member of that party who received
for that office one other vote be-
sides his own. 1t strikes us that
this member is ungrateful. Whit
field county is overwhelmingly
democratic. 1t was not because
the people of that county sympa-
thized with the views of that per-
son on national questions that
they elected him to the legisla-
ture, but perhaps because they
agreed with him Cn state issues OF
because he was personally popular
If this person had had proper
conception of the spirit in which
his office was given to him he
would have voted for Mr.. Clay fol-
United States senator; for in con.
grsss are represented the nationa,
issues of the parties. 1t is to be
hoped that democratic communi
ties will, in the future, elect only
democrats to office.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.

The result of the late elections
show conclusively that democratic
prospects are improving. There
have been heavy gains for the par
ty in the eastern states and espe-
clally in the great president-mak-
ing state of New York. The vote
shows that the people believe that
this party has got upon sound
principles again 1t is significant
that all of the free-silver states of
the west have gone back to the re-
publican party by large major
tiles. With a few eastern states
and the solid south upon plat
form of tariff reform and sound
money the democrats can win with
Olney in 1904. Hill is out of the
question because of his govern
ment ownership of coal mines
plank in the New York platform.

the amount of his taxes. Then
we would have drunken men reel
ing about on our streets and ter
rorizing travellers on country
roads, and the court house would
again do a land office business in
trying criminals.
Those who read the newspapers
carefully have doubtless remarked
the fact that in four times out of
five the accounts of homicides oc-
curing in this and other states re-
cite that the murderer chad been
drinking" Only a few days ago

ison, Ca, while under the infu-
ence of liquor which he had in a

pensary) shot and instantly killed
two other men in that town. So
we see that the assertion that men
buying their liquor in large guam
titles go home to drink it is not
true.
No community has a right to
place a. temptation before it's cit
liens, especially the young. Many
a farmer has come to town with
the best of intentions-to provide
supplies for his family-but under
the influence of the open whiskey
houses has spent part of his money
there and lost the rest in carous-
ing and vice.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

NEW BANKING ATTRACTION

The First National bank of this city recently opened an elegantly-appoint- ed banking department for the exclu- sive use of ladies, probably the only one of its kind in the west. It now purposes adding another attractive feature to this department by paying the checks of its lady patrons in fresh crisp bills received direct from the treasury department in Washington.
 Any move on the part of our local banking institutions to supply their customers with new currency will be appreciated by the general public. as scientific investigation has proven .soiled bank notes to be one of the chief distributors of disease, one sin gle bill have been found to carry four thousand separate germs.-Los Angeles Times.

SAVED WOMAN FROM DROWNING.

SAVED WOMAN FROM DROWNING. RI South Norwalk, July 13.-James Eversen, who is employed at the Norwalk freight house, made quite a record for hmsef as a life saver yesterday afternoon shortly be fore 5 o'clock by rescuing Mrs. Carrie Kip ley of Leonard street from drowning in the Norwalk harbor.
 Mrs. Ripley had been out in the harbor rowing with a small boy, and apparently was attempting to make landing at the dock directly in front of the freight house. The boat was small skiff, and in some manner the craft tipped on the side, precip- itating Mrs. Ripley into the water. She called loudly for help and was heard by the men at work in the freight house. Mr.. Eversen was the first one to get to her as sistance. When he saw what had happen ed he did not stop to remove his hat or any of his clothing, but dove after her, and the probabilities are that had he not acted as promptly as he did the woman would have been drowned. As 1t was she sank out of Sight two or three times and was becoming weaker all the time as she began to take in large quantities of the harbor water. MT. Eyersen held her above the water until Freight Agent David Gould and Frank Bouton could get to his aid, the half drown ed woman being several feet from the dock. Finally. after much difficulty, Mrs Ripley Finally, after much difficulty Mrs Ripley there taken to the dock and landed safely on terra firma. After gaining q little strength Mrs. Ripley left for her home Ill Leonard street.
 All the men at the freight house praise MT, Eversen for his heroic act.
