It's astonishing how mad you can
make a woman by telling her what
small, white hands her best friend has.
Six months before he is married
man tries to write poetry. Six months
afterward he won't even read it.
Next to having him go to church
regularly a woman takes the most
pride in having her husband go into
politics.
Tact is the thing that enables you
to appear pleased with a man you
have to listen to when you are raging
because he is not listening to you.
When a woman has a dream that
she dined in the White House she is
very nervous until she gets gown
that would be suitable in case it came
true

THE PRESIDENT URGES Reel
PROCITY.

In his message to Congress the Pres
ident makes a strong argument for the
passage of the measure that is re-
quired to make the Cuban reciprocity
treaty operative. He confines his mes
sage to that one subject and it was
expected he would since the extra ses-
sion was called for the purpose of con-
sidering it, In his opinion a failure to
enact the required legislation would
come perilously near a reputation of
the nations plighted faith.
There is no doubt of course that we
have led Cuba to expect economic leg
islation that would be beneficial to her.
We exacted certain concessions which
are set forth in her constitution in
what is known as the Platt amend
ment, and she has turned over TO US
sites for naval stations which are Of
great value to us now and will be of
still greater value when the isthmian
canal is opened. Besides, in the reel
procity treaty she makes trade con-
cessions to US that are regarded by
those who have given the treaty care
full consideration as being as valuable
as those which we make to her.
The President insists that the treaty
If that is the case, why is it that the
sugar and tobacco interests have all
along been so hostile to it? 1t is easy
to understand of course why the Amer
lean Protective Tariff League is
against it. That organizations is
against anything which breaks down
in the slightest degree the tariff wall
with which the Republican party has
surrounded the country.
There is no doubt Of course that we
would lose a good many millions of
dollars in revenue under the treaty, but
it is pointed out that we would gain a
vast amount of trade, as the treaty is
expected to turn practically all of the
Cuban trade to us.
OF course the trade of Cuba would
ing up several millions of dollars of
revenue to get it, the whole nation
would be taxed virtually In order that
certain manufacturers and merchants
might have an increase in their bust
ness.
However, if, as the President states,
the nations faith is pledged to make
certain tariff concessions to Cuba, it
is but right that the pledge should be
kept. The fact that the pledge isn't
in writing doesn't make it any less
binding. Even though it was a mis-
take we must abide by it.

DEATH OF DIR. J. b. READ.

The death of DR.. j. b. Read brings
sadness and sorrow to many hearts.
He had a large number of warm friends
and a great many acquaintance in
this community. During his residence
here there were few, if any, of Sa-
vannah's citizens who made stronger
or better impression upon the public
than he. A man of clear perceptions
as to right and wrong, of the highest
integrity in all things and of force
full character, he was loved, admired
and respected by all classes.
AS a physician he was very success
full and stood at the head of his pro-
fession here, at the time of his re-
tirement from practice. By his pa
tents he was regarded as a friend as
well as "a medical adviser. Big heart
ed and sympathetic, he quickly found
the way to the hearts of all with whom
he came in contact.
He was a generous man. He gave,
freely to charity and religion. To ask
help from him was to receive. No
one was turned from his door empty
handed.
Although he retired from the practice
of his profession and became resi-
dent of Green Cove Springs, Florida,
several years ago, he was not for
gotten here. He came quite often to
look after interests he had here and
always received warm welcome. A
good man, after long years of useful
ness, has gone to his final rest.

GERMAN sETTLERs IN GEoRGIA

HERMAN SETTLERS IN GEOHGlA.
1t must be said to the credit of the
Southern Railway and the Central. of
Georgia Railway that they are not
sparing any expense to build up the
country along their respective lines.
We have frequently called attention to
the increase in the number of indus
trial plants along the lines of the
Central, and the improved appearance
of the tributary country, indicating
that the land was being placed under
cultivation.
1t is well known, of course, that
there have been wonderful changes
along the lines of the Southern within
the last few years, but it is only with
in the last day or two that the public
has become aware of what the South
ern is doing in the way of bringing I'M
migrants to this state.
1t seems that it has been instru-
mental in having 300 German families
settle in Habersham and Rabun coun-
ties. We do not of course know how
many persons there are in each fam
lily, but it would be a safe estimate
that in these 300 families there are at
least 1000 people.
These Germans came direct from
Germany. They were influenced by
the agents of the Southern, after their
arrival at New York, to settle in the
South instead of the West. And it is
said they are we'll satisfied with their
new homes. About all of them are
prosperous.
And how could they help being pros
porous? They are thrifty and indus
trious, and that explains why they are
getting ahead in the world, are getting
farms that produce well and are build
ing homes that are attractive and
comfortable.
We want thousands more of immi-
grants of this kind in Georgia. There
are hundred of thousand of acres, par
ticularly in South Georgia, that can be
had at low prices-lands out of which
good farms can be made. These Hab-
ersham and Rabun county Germans
will be an advertisement that will at
u at manly ONbCl NIGl ulellS. LII Tic
meantime the Southern and Central
should not relax their efforts to get a
good class of settlers along their lines.
Indeed, all of the railroads of the state
would find it profitable to spend money
literally to promote immigration. What
the roads want is traffic, and what
way is there for them to get it so
quickly as by bringing in immigrants
who will establish industries and open
up farms?
If 800 German families Were to settle
on farms in the state every year it
would not be very long before it
would be possible to fix the tax rate
much lower than five mills on the dol
lar.

The Boston and other Massachusetts,
papers, still discussing the Socialist vote
in the recent election, are divided in
opinion as to whether the real strength
of that party has at length been dis
closed. There seems to be an under
current of belief on the part of the
newspapers that socialism in itself is
weak in the state, but that the Social
list party is used by many dissatisfied
voters as club with which to crack
the fingers Of the older parties

Representative Cannon was, of

House would help him.

What caused the failure Of those
Georgia negro colonists who went to
Liberia? An answer to the question
may be found in an interview with one
of them by a New York reporter.
What did you DO when you got to
1iberia?" was asked one of the ex-
oolonists. Didn't do nothin', boss;
walnut nothin' for us to do" well.
how did you Kill timer" list settin'

The emigr9nts imagined that it would
be unnecessary for them to work in
the new country; that they would be
provided with homes and food and have
nothing to do, but eat and sleep. When
thy discovered this was not so, and
when nobody offered them Jobs at
good wages, they spent the time set

tunity TO return to America. II the

For more than 100 years-11s to be

There are prospects of lively and
entertaining fight ahead between the
House and the Senate at Washington.
AS everybody knows, the Senate be-
lieves itself to be the most important
and most dgnitied body on the face of
the earth, with powers that are plen-
airy if not absolutely autocratic; and
the Senate dearly loves to show it's
power. Time after time it has trod-
den upon the toes of the House, and
then ordered the House to get out of
the way. Now, Speaker Cannon be-
lieves that the House is the more
important body, and he has bitterly
resented the encroachments Of the Sem
ate upon the Houses position. And he
has given it to be understood that
while he occupies the speakrship he
will see to it that the Senate recog-
nizes the House as at least its equal
in all matters. That, of course, means
a scrap.

New York is in the throes of a
mighty struggle. The pie trust has
got the city in its tentacles and is
squeezing it mercilessly. The price of
pies has been advanced about SO per
cent. ard the trust has withdrawn the
privilege to retailers of returning shop
worn and dilapidated pies to the foun-
dry. This, the retailers say, destroys
their profits, since the dead" pies are
a total loss. A movement against the
trust has been inaugurated and rival

A Kansas professor has discovered
that many of the Gospel hymns, con-
tanned in the book of that name, are
ungodly and immoral. 1t is not the
words that he finds to be so bad, but
the tunes. And the tunes are immoral
because of the measures in which they
are written. Thus six of the tunes
are in waltz time, seventeen are polkas
and two are two-steps. A number
are in march time, but the professor
doesn't think that the march is bad
thing and is willing to let it remain

A TEMPERANCE LUMBER YARD
Philadelphia Men Had the Courage Of
Their Convictions.


We have all heard OF temperance

but many people never heard of a
Temperance lumber yard. Yet for
many years such an establishment ex.
listed at the corner of Seventh and
Carpenter streets. Messrs. Il. l.. and
c. l.. Nicholson conducted the lumber
business there and had large trade.
but would never sell foot OF lumber
to any one connected with the liquor
business II they knew It. On one oc-
casion a builder, who is still living.
called there, and, after buying a large
lot, went into the office and planked
down the money. As the clerk was
about to hand him the bill he asked
where It was to be sent, and on being
told that It was to be delivered to a
beer saloon on South street, seid at
once, THE sale is of; we mover sell
goods 10 anyone connected with that
business" and all the talking the
builder (who was and IS still lifelong
teetotaler) could do did not alter the
decision. His money was politely
handed back and he was compelled to
go elsewhere for the lumber. Never
theless, a large amount OF temperance
lumber was sold ct this yard fC- many
