SERMON FOR BOYS

Heroes of the Southland Are Held
Up for Emulation.
A sermon to boys was delivered at
Trinity Methodist Church last night by
Rev. DR.. A NJ. Williams, whose text
was:
Think on these things" Phil, As.
The fountain from which flows a
mans life" said DIR. Williams, sis his
mind. Tell me what a boy is thinking
of and I will tell you what sort of
man he is going to be. Poison foun-
tain and all that flows from it will
be poisonous. Put evil thoughts into
boys mind and the boy will become
evil
The mind works itself into deeds.
Everything about the boy comes from
his thoughts. 1t will even work itself
into the features of his face. An ex-
perienced reader of the human face
can tell what is the staple thoughts of
the person observed.
Men will think. Dreams and
thoughts. When we are awake we have
control of our thoughts, and it is inn
portant that we should see that they
go in the right channels
Our thoughts are the result of the
things we see, hear, feel. How i'm
portant it is, then, that we see only
the best. the loveliest things, if we de-
sire to be the best
Our texts tells us what to think
about: First. Think on true, honest
things. Boys are naturally true and
honest You want the truth, go to the
natural boy and you will get it. Thew
generally speak out their minds. If
there is anything a natural boy de-
spises it is sneak. Yet a boy hears
stories about sneaks till they get to
thinking sneak Every land has its
heroes. Our Southland is blessed with
the greatest. No drawer soldiers, no
grander men ever lived than Stone
wall Jackson and Robert E. Lee, and
these men lived this text"

NO OPINION RENDERED
BY ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Controller General Ordered Fl. Fa.
Issued Against MIR. Lippman.
It was Controller General Wright and
not Attorney General Hart who in
structed Tax Collector Thomson to is
sue a Fl ia against Lewis Lippman.
the ticket broker, for the state tax OF
$50 which is charged for conducting
a ticket brokers' Office in Georgia. So
far as is known, the Attorney General
has not rendered an opinion on the
question, though it is thought the Con-
trolIer General has requested him for
one.
The Controller General. in instruct
ing Mr.. Thomson to issue the execu-
ton against Mr.. Lippman, stated
it is his opinion that the party in
whose name a Confederate veterans
license is issued must conduct the
business himself for the license to hold
good.
In Mr.. Lippman's case, the bust
ness is conducted by his son, Leonard
Lippman. The execution which was
issued Saturday will be turned over
to the sheriff this morning for serv-
ice. 1t will probably not be taken up,
however, until after the Police Court
cases against the Lippmans are de-
cided in the Superior Court
1t is doubtful, however, If a decision
in the Police Court cases, which are
to be appealed, will decide the point
involved in the state tax question. The
state authorities have not entered into
the question of the legality of the
veterans Licenses at all 1t is simply
held that to avoid paying the state
tax, the elder Mr.. Lippman must him
self conduct the business.

Trouble in Butchering Cattle.
''The butchers simply don't want to
go to the trouble of butchering the
cattle. They themselves have injured
the cattle industry in this section by
using the Western meats. And they
handle the Western product simply
because it is less trouble. There is as
much, or more, money in the native
beef, for the hides and so on bring
quite a sum. Why, before the West
ern meats were introduced the hide
and tallow trade was a big thing here.
There was even a soap factory and
other industries growing out Of the
cattle trade.
There is no need for the butchers
to say that the cattle cannot be Sc
cured, for it can. There is a better
grade of cattle in this section to-day.
than ever before. The breeds have
years.
And the farmers will be only too
glad to raise more cattle and still
further improve the breeds. If the
butchers will only buy from them. The
cattle business i'm this section should
be an immense industry. 1t would be,
too. If the butchers would use the ma
tive meat which is better and health

Plenty of Native Cattle.
IT do not expect to see Savannah

how long the strike continues. There

GO BAREHEADED.
And Wear Sandals if You Would Be
Healthy and Have Strong Hair.

The Leeds Physical Culturists met
the other day to discuss the "no-hat''
project. The secretary, Mr.. H. Krem-
nitz, an engineer by profession,
brought forward his proposal regard
ing the ''no-hat" principle. He said
he did so purely from a hygienic
point of view, and believed strongly
that the continued use of headgear.
especially indoors, such as in offices,
warehouses, etc, was detrimental to
the growth of the hair, especially if
headgear with little or no ventilation
is used. This continue wearing of
headgear was also to a great extent
an act of impoliteness into which man
had fallen unconsciously. The use of
hats should not only be abolished in
stuffy offices, warehouses, workrooms
theaters, libraries and public halls,
but Should be abolished altgetherI
He, and no doubt others, had gone
fore this proposal was made, but he
now desired the physical culturists to
give an example, and to abolish their
headgear entirely. He permitted,
pour with rain, or in winter, if it
was very coda light hat might then
be worn as a protection. The pres
ent hat was a relic af olden times,
when helmets were worn to protect
the head in battle. Could any one
imagine a more unsightly and uncom-
Portable article than a top hat? He
challenged anybody present to bring
forth a single advantage the top hat
offered. The caps were close, warm
and heavy, and impeded the growth
of the hair. Young children's hair
would grow curly and strong in a very
short time if their heads were left
There was no possible
doubt that the fresh air admitted to
their head prevented graw hairs and
badness. Mr.. Kremnitz further urged
the adoption of sandals in dry wealth
er. The Japanese in winter he be-
lieved, invariably wore sandals, and
their physical standard was consid-
cred fairly high, as they had recent

ROOM FOR DISCRIMINATION.
Some Cabinet officers Not Adapted for
Speech Making in the West.

A Washington dispatch says that
each cabinet member is to make at
least one campaign speech The idea
seems to be that these gentlemen are
peculiarly qualified to sound keynotes.
Well, that depends. The Hon. Philan-
der G. Knox, the Hon. William H. Taft,
and the Hon. James Wilson undoubt-
edly stand for constructive Republican
policies. They nave done things that
the people wanted done in a way that
proves them qualified to instruct and
guide public opinion.
On the other hand, anything from the
Hon. William H. Moody-we judge
from his outgivings in the last great
campaign-would probably embarrass
rather than help the party. The Hon.
Leslie NJ. Shaw might succeed as a
campaigner in New York circles, where
the mere word treasury is one to
conjure with, but hardly herea bouts-
And in the light of recent political
history, the Hon. Henry c. Payne could
be spared almost everywhere.
Recent experiences in Wisconsin and
Illinois ought to convince those in the
seats of the mighty at Washington that
the day has passed when any man is
considered a political prophet and guide
merely because he holds a large title at
the capital. Here, in the west, we have
every respect for high office, but we
have learned that its possession does
not guarantee political wisdom.
Some members of the cabinet I'M
doubtedly can do their party and the
country good service on the stump.
But others would be SO likely to sound
keynotes that the people do not care to
stay in Washington and attend to their
high duties.
Let the administration discriminate.
