Distinguished Jurist.

Hon. Logan e. Bleckley, Ex.Chief
Justice of tho Supreme Court of Georgia,
spent two days in Walhalla this week,
visiting his sister, Mrs. e. A. Bell, and
other relatives. He was accompanied by
his wife and children. They were re-
turning from an outing in the mountains.
Judge Bleokley is one of the most dis
tiuguished jurists in the South, and de-
spite his advanced age he retains his
mental vigor and devotes considerable
time to literary pursuits. 1t was real
pleasure to meet and converse with him
for even short time. He is enjoying a
green old age, and in him is found a
character worthy of the emulation by
the young men of our day.

The meeting held last Sunday after
noon, for the purpose Of organizing q
Loyal Temperance Legion In walhalla,
was very interesting and instructive.
While there were not SO many young
people present, almost every denomina-
ticn in town was represented. Tho presi-
dent who conducted the meeting, (the
leader being unavoidably detained at
home), expressed herself as feeling not
at all discouraged, and she hoped and
believed many more would be present at
the next meeting. She will not be dis
appointed IL the parents carefully con-
slider the matter. We all love our chill
dren, Many Of us like Jonathan loved
David--"As our own southland would
not willingly deprive them of anything
that would be for their good. 1t is for
their present and eternal good that they
be taught the bad effects of cigarettes
and alcoholic drinks. It is for their
''present good" because they often ac-
quire taste for these things while they
are quite young, and for their "eternal
good" because the Bible says that "No
drunkard shall inherit the KINGDOM of
God"
Imagine, IL you can, drunkard with
his foul talk and profanity, walking the
golden streets. What scattering of the
angels there would be.
There is an old saying that you can't
teach an old dog new tricks, and it
seems true when applied in this case.
We do not wish to be understood as COM
pairing men to dogs, though If we should
compare some men with some dogs, the
man would he the one complimented If
he was drunk and the dog wasn't.
While an old man can be taught some-
thing new sonetimes-"With God all
things are possible'-yet we think that
most of them will admit that it would
be very hard for them to learn the s'new
trick" of doing without their dram or
pipe, or for them to keep from using
stronger language than the occasion
required.
1t is comparatively easy for young peo-
pie, who have not formed such habits, to
keep from doing these things, hence the
necessity of teaching them in time the
evil consequences of such course, and
this is the object of the l.. Il. l.. society.
Graded text books will be used, suit |
smallest to the largest
We feel sure the young people will find |
the meetings interesting. There will be |
songs, flag drills, marches and reoita- |
tions and occasionally an entertainment
of some kind, so they need not expect a |
dull time.
A medal will be awarded, and we hope |
ali will enter the contest.
We would like the noses of the next |
generation to be painted different color
from those of the present one. Red is a |
bright, cheerful color, but too much of |
it is trying on the eyes, besides it is a |
danger signal. The best way to avoid it |
is to run on another line If possible.
Solomon, the wisest of men, said |
"Look not thou upon the wine when 1t |
is red; when it giveth his color in the |
cup, when it moveth itself Alright. At |
the last it biteth like serpent and |
stingeth like an adder" Every man
who has had delirium tremens knows |
what Solomon meant by these words.

an ingenious arrangement to help MIN
out when the wagon becomes stuck III
the mud. The picture almost explains
itself, showing, as it does, how the IN
vention gives a leverage near the cir
conference Of the wheel, instead OF
compelling the team to pull direct on
the axle, as heretofore. From each
lend Of the doubletree rod runs back
to the upper end Of lever pivoted on
the axle. Attached to these levers are
pawls, which engage the teeth OF the
ratchet wheels, the latter being secur-
ed to the rear wheels Of the wagon.
When a team is pulling heavy load
the doubletree vibrates, owing to the
fact that the two horses do not step
in unison and do not pull exactly to-
gether. 1t is this vibration that is util'
lied in applying the device, as 1t en-,
ables the pawls to secure alternate
hold on the teeth Of either wheel, thus
gradually working the wagon out oil
the rut or up the steep hill. When the
team Is travelling smoothly on leve
road the pawls ride idly in the ratchets
without interfering with the rotation
