A LETTER T0L. 0. TISDEL,
Fitzgerald, Ga.

Dear Sir: If you could get the ex-
elusive sale of sweeter isugar for
FIVE miles round. lib as sweet as a
pound of usual sugar, and costs no
more-yoa'd jump at 1t, wouldn't
you?
There wouldn't be 100 lb of any
other sugar sold in a year in your
town; you'd gobble the trade; and 1t
wouldn't hurt your whole business.
Devoe is like that among paints; 1t
is twice as sweet as some; it Is sweet
or than any; not one exception; one
gallon is two or one-and-one half or
one-and. three quarters,
Better than that; paint has to be
painted; that costs So to 81 a gallon.
A gallon saved is 50 to 81 saved in
labor besides the paint.
Even that isn't all, A gallon De-
voc put.on at cost of So to 81 a gal
Ion and two gallons more put'on at
So to 81 a gallon Count all that,
The paint wears double costs less by
3 gallons of paint and gallons of
paintlug; that's about $15 a gallon for
those superf1ous gallons.
That's as good as a double-sweet
sugar, isn't it?
Yours truly

A Wonderful Memory.

Hortensius. the great Roman lawyer
and orator, had a memory of extraor-
binary scope and tenacity. After COM
posing a speech or Grafton he could re
peat it word for word exactly as he
had prepared ii. On one occasion he
went to an auction, where the business
was carried on during an entire day,
and at evening. for wager. he wrote
down a list of the articles that had
been sold and the prices, together with
the names of the purchasers, in the
order in which the purchases had been
made

A HEARTY LAUGH.
It Is a Blessing, This Reflex of a Sum
shiny Soul.

1t Is Blessing, This Reflex of Sum
shiny Soul.
The cold chilling atmosphere which
sometimes pervades Il reception or 9TH
er social gathering is often entirely
dissipated by the hearty, ringing laugh
ter of some simple, genuine soul who
is oubbling over with fun. The stiff
ness and constraint which minute
before embarrassed the whole COM
pany are relieved as if by magic.
There is something in genuine, spon-
taneous humor which removes all re-
straint, scatters embarrassment. re-
lieves tension and YIELDS souls together
as no introduction or conversation can.
1t puts the shy at ease, dissipates pref
udice, gives confidence to the timid and
treasures the shrinking soul. The
CHEEKY smile or the spontaneous laugh
awakens sympathy and arouses feel
ings of friendliness. 1t seems to melt
all barriers.
Oh, what riches live in a sunny soul:
What a blessed heritage is a sunny
face, to be able TO fling out sunshine
wherever one goes, to be able to scat
ter the shadows and to tighten sorrow
laden hearts, to have power to send
cheer into despairing souls through a
sunny and a radiant heart. And if.
happy, this heritage is combined with
a superb manner and exquisite per-
sonality, no money wealth can COM
pare with its value
This blessing is not very difficult of
acquisition, for a sunny face is but
reflection of a warm, generous heart.
The sunshine does not appear first
upon the face, but in the soul The
glad smile that makes the face radiant
Is but glimpse of the souls sunshine.

AN EVIDENCE OF WEAKNESS

The unexpected action of the
Congressional executive committee
at Fort Valley on the 9th of March
In declaring plurality vote is an
index of Mr.. Lewis weakness as a
candidate for Congress. 1t is a
well known fact that the commit
tee is composed of Mr.. Lewis close
personal friends and relatives APP
pointed by him at the last congress
sional convention when Mr.. Lewis
had no opposition.
The committee was selected from
the Lewis delegates sent to that
convention and the committeeman
were named to suit Mr.. Lewis.
which amounts to an appointment
by him. 1t has not been very
many years ago when Mr.. Lewis
opposed the mode of nomination
adopted by the committee ON the
9th inst.
1t is not usual to change rules Of
democratic custom in face of OPP
position, and. when it is done it is
generally construed to be done in
the interest of some one candidate
The action of the committee by de-
claring a plurality vote virtually
shuts the small counties out from
participating very largely in con-
gressiOnal nomination, and the time
1honored custom of giving them
representation at Congressional
Convention is lost by the action of
the committee at Fort Valley.
This rule being changed by the
friends of Mr.. Lewis in the face of
opposition leads one to conclude
that they anticipated Mr.. Lewis
defeat if the rule was not changed, ,
so the change came about.
After Mr.. Lewis friends consid-
er the matter carefully, however,
it may not work so advantageous
| ly to his interest as was first ex-
pected. The small counties will
naturally resent the action of the
committee and show their resent
ment by failing to vote for Mr..
| Lewis. Mr.. Wheatley lives in the
largest county in the district,
which is solid for him, it is said
Cordele, the next largest city in
the district is the same way.
1t is understood that Judge Ri
ley, a member of the committee
from Houston, which is next to
the largest county in the district,
bitterly opposed the change in the
face of opposition and it is reason
able to suppose that Judge Riley
represented the sentiment of his
county. So Mr.. Lewis may not
have builded a house so strong as
| he thought, a house builded so
may not stand.
Sumter's candidate for Congress
is strong, and the hail-storm OF
votes east in favor of fair play will
land him in Congress on the day OF
nomination.

MANY OPPOSING THE MEASURE

An article to the Washington
Post says: cit looks at this june
ture as if the President had lost
his fight for the Federal regulation
of transportation charges. Of
course, costingencies may arise
that will swing the balance again
in his favor, but there can be
scarcely any room for doubt that
at this moment the battle is going
against him. A week ago the
chances were all in his favor. That
was before the breach on the Dem
ocratic side of the Senate chamber
had begun to -wided. Now it
seems almost certain that if a vote
on the main proposition should be
taken today, at least five Demo-
cratic Senators would vote with
the forty or forty two Republican
Senators who are opposed to the
Presidents contention for limi-
ted court review" Three Demo
cratic Senators-Morgan, Pettus
and McEnery-are opposed to the
proposition for limited court of
review, and are said to be more
nearly in accord with Foraker's
position than they are with that of
the majority of Democratic Sen
ators.

Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in The
back, kidneys, liver bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine beer, and overccmes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect Of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures Of the most distressing cases.
