NEAR BEER TAX IS
 NOT A GOOD THING

Atlanta, September 13.-(Special )-Some of the Georgia tax collectors in whose counties near beer resorts flourish, thought they had a good thing in the collection of the new tax, which the general assembly has just imposed upon the sale of that product. With a tax of s200 on each dealer and $500 on each manufacturers the commission of per cent which is about the average the tax collectors receive. would In some coun- ties, have amounted to a real good thing. They began to write the comptroller gem eral about the collection of this tax and wanted to know when to begin.
 It turns out that the tax collectors have nothing to do with it and their | visions of fat commissions have van, ished The law specifically provides that the tax shall be collected by the ordinary in each county and by him turned di- rectly into the state treasury. Nor does the ordinary get anything out of it ex- cept the S1 registration fee, which each near beer dealer and manufacturer must pay annually. Whatever there is com ing from the near beer tax the state has arranged to get net. There will be no
 ''divvy with any state official.

Saved a Manl

In Kansas City a man was arrested for stealing from the register of a telephone box.
 The thief
 But wait.
 newspaper man saw a good story behind the arrest. He questioned the prisoner and went out to the home or hut on the outskirts of the city.
 He learned this:
 The wife of the prisoner was i'll. There were three children-and a dead baby. Because the man had to stay at home to nurse the wife he lost his place in the packing plant Then the baby died. There was no money for funeral. And the sick wife cried because her baby was to be buried a pauper. She begged to have "a little white coffln." Put yourself in the mans place. He tried to borrow; he tried to get credit at the undertaken s-in vain Then in desperation he broke into the , telephone box and was caught in the act.
 The newspaper man, an archangel in 1 brooches, told the story in his news paper. He put some heart into the story. The effect?
 The police judge refused to hold the man when the telephone manager said he would not prosecute. An undertaken said he would furnish the coffin and wait for his pay. Neighbors made thu family comfortable. A job was found for the man, who said through his tears, I'll show the people I'm an honest man."
 And they buried the dead baby in a little white coffin, borne to the ceme- tery in a white hearse. And there were carriages in the procession.
 Fine!
 The heart of humanity is wondrous kind if you but know how to touch it. The sympa hies of men and women are incomparably noble in response when once they are stirred But the finest thing in all this Kansas City story is , that
 Society saved a manl Suppose-suppose in the hour of his desperation and temptation the world had turned its back upon this father? He would have gone to the penitentiary with hatred in his heart to become a hardened criminal. The sick wife might have died. The baby would have been buried in the potter's field. The three children would have been turned adrift to go down in the depths. It was the possibility of these awful crimes that society faced-ruining a man, murdering woman, damning three chil- dren.
 At heart the man was not thief. He jumped at the chance to show himself a man. He was saved in the nick of time saved where many are lost because our society Is keyed to punishment instead of salvation.
 Kansas City saved a mana family.

DAMAGE BY FLOOD.
Crops and Property Suffer Loss Below
 Augusta.

Augusta, Ga., September 13.-Capt. A. S.. Huguet, U. S. A., here in connection with flood conditions, returned today from a trip of inspection down the Savannah val ley. He was accompanied by Congress- man J. o. Patterson. He reports that the section below Augusta' suffered greatly. Crops are completely destroyed, and a number of houses were washed away. The people, most negroes, are in extreme distress. In some spots the damage was worse than at Augusta. Captain Huguet will send government supplies there. At Robbins, 40 miles down, the water was S6 feet deep. Robbins is in a basin, ordi- narily protected from flood waters by a high bank. Water got over this bank and did great damage.

His Mothers Hand.


 The purchase of the> birthplace of it's forthcoming dedication raise the old question as to the forces that shaped Lincoln's life.
 What made him great?f
 Tenry Watterson, the Louisville editor, says in his lecture on Lincodn that the man was inspired, just as Moses was inspired, which sounds well, but is in definite.
 What was it-heredity environment or will power-that shaped the crude Lin- coin into greatness.
 Plainly enough, it was all these forces and something more.
 He had something from heredty-that Kentucky mother.
 He had something from his environ ment-hardships obstacles, opposition.
 He had much from his own strong will power, and his will power was shaped by his ideals. Where did Lincoln get his ideals?
 Now We are getting down to the core of the matter
 When that wilderness mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln died in the log cabin in Spencer county, Ind, whither the fam fly moved from Kentucky, she put her hand on the head of her wilderness boy, eight years of age, and said:
 Pm going away, my boy, but I want you to remember that your mother wants you to be a good and useful man.
 There was the beginning of Abraham Lncoln's ideals.
 How many times in his after life that boy felt upon his head the hand of his dying mother and heard her words we may not know, but we do know that in the boyish heart was the high resolve to make his mothers dream of him come true.
 Pluck, spirit of endurance, application plus mothers hand, mothers words made Lincoln great.
 Remember how Thomas Lincoln cut down poplar tree and sawed out by hand the lumber with which he nailed together the rude coffin for Nancy Hanks Lincoln?
 And by the side of the grave stood little Abraham, holding his little sister by the hand-hatless, ragged, freckled ungainly-a sorry beginning for great life. But
 The touch of a vanished hand and tha sound of voice that was still helped to fashion the boy into what he afterwards became.
 A mothers hand, mothers voice-don t forget to look for these in every life.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-09-14

'No, mamma; you didn't" responded the daughter emphatically.
 Well, didn't he try to kiss you?'' per- sisted the mother
 "Yes, mamma" demurely.
 The mother spoke triumphantly.
 q knew iti" she said Did you permit him?"
 NO, mamma; I did not. I told him you had always taught me that I should not permit any young man to kiss me" That was right; that was right. my dear,' said the mother encouragingly. And what did he say to that?''
 The girl blushed, but was undaunted. He asked me if you had ever told me I was not to kiss a young man..
 The mother began to feel that possibly she had omitted a vital link in her in- structions.
 What did you tell hlm?' she asked.

 The girl stopped. and the mother broke out:
 Well go on go on.'' ''I think that's what you heard, mother" {" And the daughter waited for the storm to burst.

himself by thinking; the mysterious side how does he do 1t?
 Leaving to the learned the mysterious side, let us lay down two propositions;
 L Straight thinking is conductive to health, success and happiness.
 2 Crooked thinking will produce disease. failure and misery.
 The proof of these statements is in tho demonstration of them. They are work able propositions. They make good on trial. And that Is why they are in the book. They are true not because they are in the book; they are in the book because they are true.
 "Thoughts are things"
 A conviction of mental mastery is a real force. The influence of the mind is a real power Men succeed because they get mental mastery. Men rule their bodies for health by the masterful influ- ence of mind Men make happiness by mentally decreeing the conditions that make happiness.
 On the other hand A man can think himself into fail ure, misery, disease. Men are doing that every day. One can fix the image of ill., ness in his mind and bring it about. Thousands do. They lessen their natural resistance to disease by fearful thoughts and literally make their bodies suscepti- Die lO lHt very lnin6S luCy ltdis Iuty i do not understand that in most cases they can drive away their indlsposition by holding firmly in mind the opposite thought.
 Of course there are limitations to this power One Scripture declares that d man cannot by thinking add a single cu- bit to his height. Some fanatical things may be done and some fads practiced in the name of mind cure But
 The world at large is just beginning to l find out the tremendous potency of mind properly applied. It is just beginning to realize that strong thinking makes strong men, or, as we have put 1t, straight thinking makes straight men. , Sin itself Is simply weak thinking. l He who thinks in a weak. slouehy, , slipshod way will lead a weak, slouchy, sipshod sort of life. Crooked thinking will produce crooked men. Nothing is better established than that you can think yourself into vital. sue cessful living or Into moral, mental or physical invalidism.
