CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
The acting Governor of Alabama has
refused to call an extra session of the
General Assembly, probably acting on
the theory that less Of legislatures is
better for the people"
The Montgomery Advertiser (Dem)
says: 1--WE see very little comfort in
the prediction that Hay will remain i'm
the cabinet If Roosevelt is elected.
Hay is sort of safety-valve, but we
doubt II he can keep the lid on if
Roosevelt is given full term"
The Charleston Post (Dem.) says:
watson says that Populist electors
will be put up in all the Southern
States except South Carolina. Why
slight us, Tom? There are two or three
Populists In South Carolina, left over
from Tillman's Tight In the West"
breakaway, and they ought to have
somebody to vote for. Perhaps Watson
is hoping that these will go over into
Georgia and vote his ticket there"
The Galveston News (Dem.) says:
Judge Parker is a great peacemaker
He made German and Rayner shake
hands. He made Belmont and Tag
CART swear undying friendship for
each other. He made Tammany put up
its tomahawk, which II had raised
over the head OF Mr.. Hearst He got
Mr.. Bryan on the stump. He assuaged
the ruffied feelings OF Gov. Hogg. He
made Hin and Murphy walk arm In
arm. In fact, he seems to have pleas
ed all disturbed persons except Tom
Watson and George Fred Williams"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Gnd) says: "Faulthnding with Mr.
Brysn's way OF appealing Is his old
friends to support Judge Parker, on
his stumping tour may be entirely out
Of place. From his standpoint he
couldn't pretend 10 be enthusiastic
over the nomination and maintain his
reputation for sincerity. on the other
hand, Mr.. Bryan may know better
than any one else Just how to lead a
Bryan Democrat up 10 the polls with
a Democratic ballot In his hands He
Is evidently talking with perfect can
dor and, after all. candor pays IN the
long rum"

There has never been a fight but
both combatants thought they were

Margaret c. McFadden, secretary of

the President, land that faculty should

Fun on the Farm.

Exactly-exactly. You've bought a
farm and you've discovered that one
of the line fences takes in four or five
feet of your land. You attempted to
discuss the matter with the farmer,
and he resorted to arms"
Yes
"Well, don't worry. You can first
sue him for assault. Then for bat

Wen take up the matter of the fence
and l promise you that even if we don't
beat him we can keep the case in court

while, he'll probably ham-string your

to your barn and you can begin a
new suit almost every week. My dear
man, you can have fun from now on
to the day you die of old age"

DON'T GIVE SOMETHING Fol
NOTHING.

NOTHtNGs
There is a lull just at present in
itinerant advertising schemes, that is,
schemes of shrewd and pleasant
spoken solicitors for getting money
from business people for advertise
ments in bogus new spapers, pamphlets,
circulars, cards. etc, so that what is
about to be said on this subject can
have no personal application what
ever. But the holiday season is near
at hand, a time when advertisers feel
liberal and are free with their con-
tracts. hence it is practically certain
that the peripatetic solicitor with his
floating advertising scheme will shortly
be on hand looking for a harvest of
dollars. He is a good man to inquire
about. Last spring the Savannah
Chamber of Commerce passed a reso-
luton requesting merchants and 9TH
ers approached by solicitors of other
than standard and recognized publica-
tons of merit to submit to the Adver-
Using Committee of the Chamber the
propositions made to them for adver-
Using, and that contracts should be
withheld until the committee of the
Chamber could investigate the schemes
in question and report on their merits.
There are few investments that pay
better than advertising, provided it is
done right Advertising is the modern
way of letting the people know what
one has for sale, at what, price arti-
cles can be purchased, etc. Money that
is paid for giving publicity to ones
business is we'll spent, where the adj
vertising account is looked after with
as much care and judgment as are be-
slowed on other items of expense. And
newspaper advertising as the best
medium through which to give public
ity to whatever a business man may
have to communicate to the public.
Being aware of the value placed on
newspaper advertising, there are peo-
pie who get up all sorts of worthless
schemes for securing advertisements
in publications that have newspaper
names, but are not newspapers. These
bogus publications have no readers
except those who read their own ad-
vertisements in them, and possibly
few others to whom free copies are
sent. This class of advertising is or
diharily no better than other itinerant
advertising, and no scheme of the
kind should be accepted unless it has
the Endorsement of the Advertising
Committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, the duty of which body is to
'send for persons and papers" and
make thorough investigation of the
scheme and the men at the head of it.
1t is risking nothing to say that one
half of the itinerant advertising
schemes presented to the business men
of this and other cities are worthless
or fraudulent, in that they bring no
return for the money paid for them.
1t would be we'll for our merchants, in
the interest of good morals, if not
from the standpoint of financial econ
omy, to have the Chamber of Com
merce investigate closely the PROPOSE
lions made to them by the projectors
of advertising schemes.

In Kansas After the War.

A writer in the Boston Herald says
that after the Civil War Boston man
was stopping at the Planters House.
the principal hotel of Leavenworth,
Kan, and coming down to breakfast
late one morning he partook of that
meal with the landlord.
Well, Mr.. -" said the landlord,
how do you like our Western coun-
try?"
Il like it very we'll" said the Bos-
ton man, ''or would If society here
were in more settled state"
Nonsense" said the landlord, "our
society is as settled as that of Bos-
ton"
Just then a man named Anthony
burst into the dining room and out of
back door. with a man named Jen-
nison pumping lead at him at every
jump, and following him out into the
outbuilding in the rear of the hotel.
How about society being as settled
here as in Boston," said the Boston
man as he and the landlord crawled
out from under opposite sides of the
table.
II had forgotten about that An
thony-Jennison matter" said the land
lord, but if Doc Jennison has caught
up with Anthony that is settled by this

CHESTNUTS AS CURE FOR THE
LIQUOR HABIT.
From the Philadelphia Record.

from the Philadelphia Record.
There should be less drunkenness at
this season of the year than at any
other time said a specialist in nerv-
Gus disorders who has a private sani-
tarium for the treatment of wealthy
dipsomaniacs. 1T is not generally
known-in fact, l claim the honor of
the discovery-that roasted chestnuts
are good antidote for liquor The
average man who drinks under high
nervous pressure, not for the sake of
sociabillty, but because the alcohol
stimulates him to great effort, is the
one whose nervous system is most
quickly undermined. He may never
get drunk, but there is the constant
demand for over-stimulation that
works damage in the end. No sooner
does the effect of one drink wear off
than there is the craving for another.
Now If that man would eat a few
roasted chestnuts instead of taking an
other drink when the feeling comes on
him, he would find that the substance
OF the nuts, having quickly absorbed
the liquor already in his system, had
appreciably decreased his longing for
more alcoholic stimulant. 1t isn't a
theory. l know is to be true"

Bishop Olmsted, of Denver, is inter

There is in Denver, however, a mil

He is generous man, and in his own

requests are almost invariably refus-
