DRY ROT.

There are times when purse strings
are frightened when there is a PROPOSE.
ton of public nature calling for con.
tributions. Men will talk of their EAST
contributions, of the failure of this and
the other project, ard will refuse to
pay money for further plans which
they gay, will not bring money to their
pockets, There are some of these men
to be found in every community, Just
as there are small potatoes in every
hill. But when this condition becomes
general, when men to whom the COM
munity has right to look for a slight
return for the benefit and the prosperi
ty which they enjoyed, refuse thus to
discharge one OF their plainest duties
and when the member of such men be-
comes so great as to threaten the sue
cess Of movements in the public inter.
est, that condition is an evidence of q
species of dry rot which, if not speedily
removed, will land the community in
the commercial graveyard.

A RESULT OF ADVERTISING.

The Jasper (Fla.) News thinks it is
dead easy" for the merchants in small
places to meet the competition of the
big mail order houses in large cities,
and gives an illustration of how to do
it, as follows:
I'VE have an example right here in
Jasper. Eighteen years ago Hon. Frank
Adams began business in this town
with only one thousand dollars. He
began by advertising. He has persist.
emily advertised ever since. He has
paid this paper as much as five hundred
dollars in one year for advertising, and
to-day is worth over $3.50, 700, while
some of the merchants who thought
advertising didn't pay have gone out
OF business. or are hsmmering along
in the same old hard rut."
If the mail order houses did not ad.
vertise literally, the customers they
have gained in small towns and in the
country would not have even known o.
their Observation-Disclosures News.

A COOL MILLION FORTHE SEVENTH
DISTRICT.

Washington dispatches Of Tuesday
gave the pleasing intelligence that
Hon. Gordon Lee has succeeded in
enVisting the active cooperation of the
War Department in his scheme for en-
larging Chickamauga National Park
and establishing Brigade Army Post
and msneuvering ground adjacent
thereto. Hon. VIM. H Taft, secretary
of war, has endorsed the plan and
recommended its adoption by congress,
and the appropriation of 1921 $40 to
buy the 80 $40 acres of land needed for
the purpose.
This sum, together with the bills car
rying $50 900 for the Coosa river, and
$4,000 each for two more Federal
buildings Zone in Cedartown and the
other in Cartersville), together with
additional sums for those at Rome and
Marietta, carry the total up to 81 ,l00,-
900.
The Seventh district certainly has no
cause to complain that her representa-
tive is not doing his full duty by his
constituents. lice luck" has been a
winner not only in getting to congress,
but also in getting things after he lands
here.-Cedartown Standard.

Lynchburg, Va, Feb. 4th, 1907.-A
decision of Importance to all manufac-

awarded by Judge Pritchard of the
United States Circuit Court of this dis

The question involved was whether
the Allen Brothers Tobacco Co., of
Lynchburg, Va, has the legal right to
use on its Traveller" brand of plug to-

and slant of lettering, but different as
to wording, from that used by the r.
j. Reynolds Tobacco Co., of Winston.

In the argument, on motion of the
plaintiff, the r. ]. Reynolds Tobacco
Co., that restraining order be issued

1t will probably be an item Of news
TO most of our readers that our genial
postmaster is not compelled to make
change for you when you make pur-
chases at Uncle Sans office. This is q
queer rule that not one in a thousand
persons know. Buyers OF stamps or
any purchases at a postoffice must fur
nish all their own change; i. e., the
postmaster. could insist on the buver
furnishing his own change if he sees fit
to do it; but usually the postmaster is
glad to get rid of his chicken feed !"
and he is always ready and willing to
accommodate the public by making all
the change it asks for. If man wishes
to buy fifty cents worth of stamps and
has but silver dollar, he would be
compelled to buy a dollars worth of
stamps or go and get his silver dollar
changed or do without his stamps if
the postmaster was stubborn and re-
fused to make change for him. This is
the law and queer one according to
our way of thinking. And postmasters
are not compelled to take more than
twenty-five pennies at one time, if they
do not want them,

Something more than suspicion is
necessary to justify arrest and search
i'll this State, as has been shown by the
Court of Appeals. A man suspected of
carrying concealed weapons had been
arrested and searched without the
formality of warrant. The Court held
that there must first be a warrant
charging crime before search of the
person could be legally made, and that
in the absence of such warrant any
search was illegal, and any evidence
found on the person arrested could net
be used against him. This is the law,
and it will hold. 1t works, however, to
the advantage of the pistol toters.

The New York World pretends 10
have reliable information that Thomas
Fortune Ryan of Virginia is in the field
as a candidate for the presidency. The
grounds upon which this information
is based are not exposed, but it is in
Cidentally mentioned that. among 9th
er clements of his strength, is the
strong Catholic following he would un-
dOubtedly command. This is a very
slender reed and has never before been
pleaded in behalf of any candidate, eX-
cept in the memorable instance Of
Chief Justice Roger Brooks fancy, in
whose case it proved fatal. Any stu
dent of our politics knows that religion
is a thing quite apart from party al
legiance. and that any pretension of
privilege depending upon church influ-
encc must inevitable arouse wide re-
sentiment. Considered from this point
of view, the announcement in the
World may be regarded as an attack
on Ryans' availability, although his
church connections are not quoted
against him, nor is it clear from any
thing revealed in the Worlds exposure
that he is in fact a candidate. If he is
in truth a candidate, some more sub
stantial grounds than those given by
the World must be found for him t
stand upon.
The history of the efforts of tn,
friends and admirers of Chief Justice
Roger Brooks fancy in the same fielC

says Mr.. Ryan is active, is Commende,

bilious Virginian.
