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.

Mr.. BRYAN'S STRENGTH.

Those newspapers which take an eV,
ldent delight in attacking Mr.. w. D.
Bryan from every side possible, and
which pretend to believe that the Ne
braskan never was, is not now and
never will be anything of political
power, are strangely and wilfully blind
to some things. The News would call
their attention to one or two simple
facts in passing.
In 1897 Judge Alton B. Parker, now
4 presidential asplrant ran for chic
Justice of the New York state court OF
appeals. He was successful, and his
race was termed phenomenal" and
wonderful" He polled 554, $50 votes.
Three years later Mr.. w. J. Bryan re-
ceived 678, $3.50 votes in New York for
president, $4,000 more than Judge
Parker did in his phenomenal" race.
Mr.. Bryan received the largest vote
accorded by New York TO any demo-
cratic candidate in decade. He re-
ceived 23,5l8 more than did Mr.. Cleve-
land for president, and 100000 more
than Mr. Hill for governor in 1904.
AS Mr.. Bryan and the many thou
sands of his democratic friends and
supporters throughout the length and
breadth OF the land will be expected
TO aid in electing the democratle nom.
inee for president this year these con-
tinued and uncalled for assaults are
passing strange, to say the least.

HIS ELECTION is SURE.

Notwithstanding the vicious attacks
that two or three newspapers who I'M
aoine thaT are "leaders" have made
upon Judge Griggs for exercising
the right of iavoring q distinguish
ed citizen and democrat for the presl'
Dental nomination. his election as
delegate TO the national convention Is
practically assured. 1t is as certain
as anything can be that has not already
happened.
AS an able and distinguished public
servant and national figure in the al
fairs of the democratic party he will
be accorded this honor regardless OF
the candidacy of any man who happens
to aspire to the presidency The
spleen and personal spite OF few
scribblers only excite disgust among
the intelligent and fair minded people
of Georgia.

IN BEHALF OF THE FAITHFUL DOG.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald utters a timely word when
he warns the public that every dog
that acts strangely and even froths
at the mouth Is not suffering with
hydrophobia. Dogs are subject 30
many of the ills that humans are
heir to. They sometimes have acute
indigestion, at other times they have
fits, and occasionally they are driven
frantic by teasing or torture. This
correspondent says that u dog that is
mad does not run around in circles,
nor does il froth at the mouth. The
mad dog runs in straight line ana
snaps at everything in the way; not
that it wants to bite anything or any
body, but it is suffering agony and its
only solace is motion. It's nervous ag-
ony Is such that it can brook nothing
in it's way, nor even to touch anything.
The dog is mans truest and most
faithful friend; yet, strange to say, in
the face of this fidelity it is generally
kicked and cuffed about in brutal and
savage manner.

WITH BOX AND BONES.

Anent the general discussion no"
going on as to the best methoo OF
electing judges in Georgia a unique
plan is suggested by }. L. D. HlliYer
in the Atlanta News.
Mr.. Hillyer thinks the best solution
of the question would be 10 have the
supreme court to prepare a box for
each judicial circuit AID place therein
the names of lawyers who would make
com petent judges, one name then to be
drawn from each box and announced
as the nominee.
One contemporary thinks the plan
would be simple, economical, free from
corrupt influence, and as near right as
any method yet tried. The News,
however, has a plan to suggest that
will be just as simple and economical
and with less chance for the exercise
of corrupt influence. 1t is this;
Let the candidates for superior
court Judges assemble at a given time
and place, and be properly pro-
vided with dice and throwing boxes.
Give them each three throws, and the
one who totals the greatest number OF
the festive spots shall be declared the
nominee of his judicial circuit.
If the thing is to be made an affair
of chance we respectfully suggest to
our aforesaid contemporary that our
method combines ideally the qualities
of simplicity and economy.

A NOBLE WORK.

The founder and management OF the
Georgia Industrial Home for unfortu'
nate children requests the people OF
the state to remember the home on
Tuesday, May 81, and give one day s
income or salary to this great work
The home has now about 100 children
from all sections of the state, and IN
five years has touched the lives OF
more than 200 At present 1t is in abso.
Lutte need of special assistance by rea-
son of an epidemic of measles and its
growing and increasing necessities.
Many friends in Georgia of innocent
and suffering childhood will remember
this appeal and give at least one days
salary or income to the cause. All re-
mittances should be forwarded by
check or postotfice order to Rev. W. E.
Mumford, President Georgia Indus
trial Home, Macon, Ga.
This is one of the noblest works of
the day, and a noble man is at its
head. The News feels sure that the

ANOTHER TAKE OUT.

1t seems that the farmer will always
be common prey.
The Cotton Buyers Association held
a meeting 10 Atlanta one day last week
and resOluted to the effect that they
will gouge a little deeper iato every
cotton bale that the farmer brings to
market. Among the "resolves" was
one to the effect that circulars be sent
to ginners notifying them that no
more than six yards of bagging ard
six bands will be accepted on any bale
of cotton without deductiug the weight
of the extra bagging or ties from the
gross weight of the bale and proper
tionate amount from the price of the
bale. These circulars will also call
attention to the fact that all bales that
have been exposed to the weather will
be picked over and the damaged cot
ton not bought.
AS long as the farmer and not the
buyer is the favored one in disposlng
of his crop just so long will the associ-
ations and corporations who handle or
use his products do him just as they
please.
