One of the rany anecdotes in re-
1ation to "Pars IN Waller" as he was
familiarly known by his people was in
RECORD to a negro man he owned.
Bob was very fond of fresh milk and
butter and as was the custom in that
day the milk was kept in milk house
at the spring built so that the cool wa
ter of rhe spring would flow around
the jars. He missed much milk and
butter from the spring house and sus-
pecting Bob as the thief, and went to
work to catch him. One hot day at
noon he and Mrs. Wallern walked
down to the spring. Seeing the door
ajar he attempted to go in but was
prevented by Bob rushing out. Bob,
hearing them coming had hastily con-
cealed the butter he had appropriated
under his hat. AS he rushed past Mr..
Wallern he struck at him and hit Bob
on the head and had his hand covered
with soft butter. In CONSERVATION at
what he thought he had done, killed
Bob, held up his hand to his wife and
said, NANNY ish dot prains?" Bob
made his escape but continued to feast
at times on the parsons butter.

The Washington Star has inter
viewed a democratic leader who
claims to speak with authority upon
the question of the amount of money
spent by the leaders of the party in
the campaigns of 1896 and 1900.
This authority says:
1.-THE democratic campaign fund OF
1896 amounted to between $500, 600 and
S40O, 600. Our opponents certainly had
twenty times as much money, and
possibly fifty times as much. With
the funds at our disposal we paid all
the expenses of the campaign, sent
Mr.. Bryan on his tour of the coun-
try, provided for speakers in all
places of controversy of consequence,
paid telegraph tolls and printing bills
and emerged without a dollar of in
debtedness to any man.
'That year there were cast for the
democratic candidate for president
1902, 925 votes more than had ever
been cast for any democratic candi-
date, and more than had ever been
cast for the candidate of any party
before that election. In my opinion
there were enough votes cast to have
elected Mr.. Bryan president, and the

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

/ can never keep from thinking
That there is brighter crown
For the man that runs the paper
In little country town;
Where the fun'ral columns gratis,
And the merchant in surprise
Tells the editor it is folly
For man to advertise.
When the winds of winter whistle
He is hunting for the news
He's the one the sorry cusseS
Take notion to abuse.
Through his shoes the water rushes,
''Ten below" the reading goes,
And the freezing breezes whisper:
Not a rag of underclothes.
But he says the ugly woman
Is a belle for miles arOun',
Makes her dowdy bargain wrapper
With his pen Paris gown,
Though she's not the man sufficient
In her gratitude to buy
Half dozen extra copies
AS a solace for the lie.
Praises for its health the village,
When the pigs are having chills,
While the council gives the city
All the stationery bills,
And the other folks are pulling,
Doing ev'rything they. can -.
That will keep the pot from boiling
For the country paper man.
But think and keep a-thinking
There's It little brighter crown
For the man that runs the paper
In tho little country town;
That he'll have a robe up yonder,
And perhaps enough to eat,
With pair of golden slippers
AS he walks the golden street.
If perchance he made a blunder'
And should straggle up below,
We are sure the local devil
Would be glad to let him go;
For we'd bet thousand dollars
To nickel or a dime
That he'd swap a column showing
Hell's perfect winter CLINE.

Clark. The rest of the fund was made

them very small indeed.

were many other contributions of like

"No one of the many speakers of

thing with the young men who did the

A UNION DEPOT.

The state railroad commission has
been appealed to in the matter of Daw-
sons depot facilities. The town has
asked that the Central of Georgia and
the Seaboard Air Line railroads be re-
uuested to erect a union station here.
There is every reason to believe that
the commission will give its favorable
consideration to this request. The
need of adequate passenger facilities
in Dawson is pressing one. The
railroads have been asked to meet
this need, but urgent appeals have
gone unanswered for several years.
When the matter is fully presented to
the commission there can be little
doubt that it, and even the railroads
themselves, will see the business of the
demand for better accommodations.
Now, let everybody get behind the
gentlemen who are moving in this
matter, and there is little doubt that
Dawson's hopes will be realized in Sc
curing one of its greatest needs.

THE GREATNESS OF THE HEN.

THE NEWS would once more lift its
hat to the American hen. Success, a
magazine of an inquiring turn of
mind, has been investigating the re-
suits of the industry of the barnyard
queen, and announces that the egg
and poultry earnings of the United
States for one recent year amounted
to $3.50, 100000 Such an amount is
sufficiently amazing as it stands, but
you don't get its full significance I'M
til you study the relative financial val
ues of other industries. We find,
for instance, says Success, that the
total value of the gold, silver, wool
and sheep produced in America dur
ing the year in question was $272, 1874, =
315. The sugar plantations the same
year was but $20,00O,000. That part
of the wheat crop used at home, which
many consider the most valuable of
all our agricultural products, was
worth 500, COO, 600. The great Ameri-
can hog, as consumed at home and
abroad, brought 1886, 500, 035. The
value of the oat crop was $78,984, 900.
Potatoes grown in the United States
were valued at nearly as large a sum
as were the oats. The product of to-
bacco plantations was estimated to be
worth $50, $40. 225. Cotton, the en-
throned king of staples, could show
only $3.50, 16I, $40 as against the mag
nifcent earnings of its feathered rival.
The crops of fax, timothy, clover,
millet and cane seeds, broom corn,
castor beans, hay, straw, and so
forth, couldn't, all told, come within
a measurable distance of many mill
hons of the poultry earnings.
The hens eggs produced in this
country annually would fill 43, l27, 900
crates, each of the latter holding 800
eggs; also train of refrigerator
cars carrying these eggs would be
nearly 900 miles long. Furthermore,
it would take lO7, 8l8 such cars to make
ND this train.

PROFANITY.

From the Macon Telegraph.
There has been organized IN Brook
lyn a society to preserve decency OF
speech. Each member is pledged to
refrain from blasphemy and profanity.
tits known as the Holy Name Society.
Last Sunday $4,000 of its members
paraded the streets for the purpose OF
impressing the public with its strength
The Brooklyn Eagle, commenting up
on the parade, says: 1--WE trust that
the Holy Name Society will fulfill its
mission, and that every one OF It's 49,
600 members will become a missionary
for righteousness in conduct and pur-
itv of conservation. If it fultills this
object it will have lived to better pur-
nose than many organizations OF lar
ger numbers and more pretentous
character.
We quite agree to this and hope that
in every community of this land tfere
will be a Holy Name Society orga-
nized. The man who INDUCES IN pro-
family or blasphemy makes confession
of poverty of speech. When the late
Senator Lamar, we think it was.
turned in anger toward an unfair OPP
moment in debate and hurled at him the
words, II tender you an eplthet that
no good man deserves and that no
brave man will wear" the effect was
far more crushing than any concelva,,
BILE combination of phrases that could
be evolved from the vernacular OF
blasphemy.
1t is an extraordinary fact that
only among Americans, so far as our
knowledge goes, does the habit of pro-
fame speech obtain. The German may
exclaim Scott in Himmeln' the French
"Mon Dieu!" and the Latins 'Jesu!'
but the phrase or word is merely ejac-
ulatory, and ordinarily invocatory.
There is no hint of blasphemy in these
expressions among them. The pagan
or heather nations are quite too much
in awe of their gods to be irreverent.
1t is most essential that the people
of the land should be admonished as
to indecencies of speech. A man who
wishes to draw bullet from another,
and who understands his mother
tongue. can do 1t far more quickly IN
polite language than otherwise. Bill
lingsgate is not necessary to the giving
of a mortal insult. Indeed, the Holy
Name Society has a mission, and a
GREAT one.

HATS THE MATTER WITH TUE
BOYS?

BOYS?
From the Vadosta Times.
SIS Young America going 10 the bad.
or is the the boy of today about like
his father was before him." asks a
correspondent.
The Times has never been accused of
pessimism, but we are forced to admit
that many of the boys, especially in
the cities and towns. are not what they
ought to be by great deal. Too
many of them are lOafing around the
streets and spending their time, day
and night, in more or less questionable
resorts and company. Environment,
no doubt, has much to do with the
matter, but unquestiOnably the lack
of oversight by parents a great deal
more. Back of it all, however, looms
up the distaste for wOrk-real hard,
honest work, which appears to atflict
many of the boys, as well as their ia
theirs. The average town boy would
consider himself disgraced if he had
to don a pair of Overalls, roll up his
sleeves and go to work. He wouldn't
object to position as president of a
bank or general manager of a railroad,
but when it comes to real manual la
Dor count him out. Patent leather
shoes and cigarettes don't harmonic
with hard work. The boy is not wholly
to blame though, for his best girl
would refuse to recognize him if she
were to meet him on the streets clad in
his overalls. After all, the girls are
the arbiters of the boys destinies. and
with them largely rests the response
bility for the successes or failures of
our young manhood.
All boys can't be bank cashiers or
hold easy jobs with big salaries at
tached; there are obliged to be man
ual workers in the world, and the
sooner the boy or the man who leads
a clean, moral life, though his hands
are soiled with honest toll, is given
the social recognition he deserves the
better it will be for the world.

MOSQUITOES AND LOVE.

It is declared now that the mosquito
is the distributor of the love germ
also, and no swain with serious mat
rimonial intentions will hereafter
accounting go before providing him
self with several able-bOdied speci-
mems of the stegomyia that have ro-
bust appetites. DR.. B. B. Norland of
Wheatley, Mimi, has no patience
with skeptical persons who do not be-
lieve that yellow fever is disseminated
by mosquitoes, and shows his con-
tempt for them by asserting that
not only is the proposition that the
disease is thus spread substan-
tiated, but that there are other
WAYS in which those troublesome in
sects carry contagiOn. He maintains
that the rapidity with which marriage
anpa 0enents are formed in the sum-
mer. as compared with cold weather
statistics, is attributed TO the infu-
ence of the mosquito, which bites
Young couples alternately, and thus
inoculates the shy maiden and the as
Diring swain. He studied this sub
iect many years, and discovered that
in direct proportion as the houses
where marriageable young women live
have the porches screened with mos
auto wire in the summer do the en-
gagements of these young women thus
protected fall of.
Young men desiring to marry should
keep away from mosquito netting, and
seek to spread the cOurtship microbe
in the open.
