GRAND JURIES AND ELECTIONS.

Fulton county grand jury will
investigate the methods employ
ed in the country districts dur
ing recent elections, complaints
having been made that the man,
ayers and clerks have been
known to allow persons to vote
upon the statement that thew
had paid all taxes, and without
regard as to whether or not thew
were registered.
1t has come to the attention Of
the grand jury that many people
have voted in past elections
whose names did not appear on
the registration list. This is a
direct violation of the law. Reg.
lstar A. P. Stewart said that he
had heard of such complaints,
but that he did not of his own
knowledge know of any instances
where The matter had been prac-
tised.
Members of the grand Jury
say that Fulton county has been
remarkably free of election scan
dals, but that if such things as
this continue scandals are bound
to come, especially when an cleo
ton is close, or when it is pro-
tested.
Statement has been made that
some people have been known to
vote when they did not live in
that voting precinct, and whose
name did not appear upon the
registration list.
1t is to regulate these matters
and give all the districts full in
structions concerning the man
ner in which election are to be
conducted that the grand jury
will take the matter up.
Twins next grand jury might
follow the example of the Fulton
county jury greatly to the credit
of our people. Election frauds
are too fragrant in this county.

BUILD RIGHT.

The substantial improvements
that are continually going on in
this community is the best evi.
dence of our material progress
and effectually sque1ches any
Doubling Thomas or would be
croakey. The men who are in
vesting their money in the brick
blocks that are going up around
us are conservative and success
full men of affairs, who do not
take gam blers chances or in
vest their money in wild cast
schemes.
Fitzgerald has so far progress
ed that her future is assured and
the same confidence that today
vouchsafes returns for the money
invested in these improvements
will pave our streets and build
trolley lines, and multiply our
industries. But, while the tree
is luxuriant and gives promise of
a great future let's be sure that
the trunk is sound, that the body
is healthy, that the foundation is
substantial and durable.
Our moral advancement must
be commensurate with our ma
teral development. Good people
will tire of unwholesome social
lnVironm emit, and the other kind
of people never build city.
The vicious simply infest COM
munities.
Set your face rgainst immoral
ity, viciousness and thuggerv-it
is the only hope.
Decency, law and order are alb
solutely necessary, and the man
who fails to recognize the fact is
either fool or knave, too often
both.

PROSPERTTY'S NEWEST PERIL.

When Bryan and his army of
calamity how1ers and small poll.
ticians were predicting all sorts
of evil in the event of failure of
the reconciliation of silver, many
of the evils that now beset us
never occurred to their infamed
intelligence.
If they had been told that the
prosperity that would follow the
restoration of confidence by the
death of free silver and the de-
feat of the sixteen to oners, would
be frought with the danger of
making every body so well off that
there would be none to do the
chores, their flannel mouths
would have become parched with
the hot air that would have per-
force found vent, but such a
1
state of affairs seems seriously to
threaten. On this subject the
N. Y.World says:
Responsibility for the vexing
scarcity of house servants has at
last been fixed definitely and Of
ficiallY. In his quarterly bulle-
tin the State Department of La
Dor declares unhesitatingly that
prosperity is to blame. Good
times have so increased the num-
bers of the servant-keepers class
that the demand for household
help has run greatly beyond the
supply.
This explanation of a leading
domestic difficulty of the day will
come as severe setback to So
cial students who have been ira
cling the trouble to consideration
of fraternity, equality, Individual
privilege and the like. But in
setting these back it brings no
comfort to worried housewives.
The chief effect of the official
message to the department is to
add new force to the old ques-
tion,Is prosperity an unmixed
good?
| Scoffers at the proposition of
ideal socialism have been wont to
clinch their argument to the
person" by inquiring with cut
ting force, When all men are OF
equal standing, who then will dig
the ditches?" 1t is proper, in
view of the pronunciamento from
from Albany, to adapt this query
to new hypothesis. When diff
fused prosperity has brought all
the households of the universe to
the level of the servant-keeper.
who then shall wash the dishes
of the world?

Advertising cannot be called
an expense, although it is an ex-
pense when ignorant1y handled.
Advertising is an investment.
Dealers in articles where the
profit is less than Is per cent fig
ure 2 percent of their sales as the
proper proportion to be devoted
to advertising.
There are lines where the
profits run up as high as 400 per
cent. These lines demand a
much higher per cent devoted to
advertising, as the daily sales
amount to much less than where
the profit is smaller.
If you have anything to sell,
never allow yourself to argue
that there is no need of advertis.
ing. Your friends, even, after a
while, won't ask you if you keep
certain articles.

Strength of Tim bers.

Washington, Dec. 8. - Timber tests
which shall determine the strength o
construction purposes, are now in prog
ress at Washington, d. c., at Yale Uni
versity, New Haven, Conn, at Purdue
University, Lafayette, Ind, and at the
| University OF California, Berkeley, Cal.
These tests are made under the direction
OF The Bu eau OF Forestry, and are tor
the benefit of lumbermen, construction
engineers and scientific men who are in.
'erested in the strength of different
wood fibers. The bureau of forestry
eans from the results of its tests to
make tables of the strength of different
American woods to which the engineer
may refer when he wishes to know what
timbers to use for certain purposes.
The tests will be in cross bending and
breaking, compression with and against
the grain. and shearing.
No complete and satisfactory series of
tests on large sticks of timber has eyer
been made in this country. Lumber
manufacturers in the south and the Pa
cific coast states are especially inter-
ested in this work, since they wish to
know more about their product. They
have contributed gratis much of the
material used in the tests.
The chief timbers now being tested
are the southern pines and the red fir of
the Pacific coast. In the laboratories at
Washington tests are now iu progress on
loblolly pine sticks II feet long and 8
by IA, by s, and s by inches.
Special attention is given to the effects
of moisture on the strength of wood. In
the case of loblollv pine which has
grown rapidly, the strength was found
to dec ease so to 60 per cent after the
dry wood had been soaked several DAYS
in water. The fact, however, is not yet
established, and will have to be proved
by further experiments. The timbers
tested are of the usual grades purchased
in the ma ket and are not selected
pieces.

School, in New Haven, small selected

Consumption is a human

easily destroyed while young
when old, sometimes i'm

Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the

The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork:
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,

can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
