Are Real Optimlsts.
"The question presented to every
man is really this: To what do you
give power? Evil or good? Christian
Scientists, by virtue of their expert
ence, are confirmed optimists. They
have seen healing accomplished where
human love and human skill had given
up hope. They have seen apparently
incurable bad habits changed with
such change in life as yearly takes
place in the earth when the barren
cold yields to the benefcent warmth
of spring. They have seen bitterness
and cynicism and cruelty melt away,
and kindness and joy and gentle cour-
tesy take their place. They find that
their faithful application of the teach
/ ings of Christian Science to all the
problems of life have brought SO many
solutions and proofs of the power of
good to overcome evil, that they can
| foresee the ultimate triumph of good !;
and forgetting the things that are be-
hind they press forward in the direc-
| ton of that goal.
Some teachers who are selfless and
sincere argue that moral evil and ply
steal pain are not only realities, but
beneficent realities. Observing how
a good deed shines in a naughty world
they seem to think that the good deed
owes its lustre to the surrounding

pECANS ON HICKORY TREES
Sumter County Farmer Making an
Interesting Experiment..


Many people are following with
interest the experiments made by Mr.
H. W. Smithwick in budding pecan
,rees on hickory trees at his home
on Brooklyn Heights.
Nh Smithwick decided last year
that several years of time might be
saved in pecan culture by budding
he pecans on the hickory trees which
abound in this section. Last sum-
mer he budded quite a number and
this summer is devOting his spare
time to a continuance of the work.
The results so far have been highly
satisfactory. The pecans have taken
a strong hold on the hickories and
are growing luXuriantly. 1t looks
somewhat peculiar to see the pecan
growth on the top of a hickory TWEEN
ty-fiVe feet or more in the air, but
there they are, putting out new
growth right along and lourishing
apparently better than much older
stock planted in the ground.
Mr.. Smithwick is confident Of the
success of the experiment and feels
satisfied that he will be able to soOT
demonstrate that years of time in the
raising of pecans can be saved by
this rocess.-Americus Times-Re

BIG RETURNS FROM NEAR BEER
Three Thousand Licenses Have Been
Granted in GeOrgia.

Granted in Georgia.
The money derived by the federal
revenue department in Georgia dur
ing the coming year from licenses to
sell near beers will probably total
100000.
There are approximately 5000
near beer saloons in the state. Each
of these is taxed about $40 by the
government. Practically 5000 Ii
censes have been issued by the reve-
nue. department for the present fiscal
year, which began July /.
The records in the internal reve-
nue. collectors office snow that the
federal returns from near beers for
the year should approximate $780,
600. Already in the neighborhood
of 5000 licenses have been granted.
These licenses are for wholesale
liquor dealers, wholesale malt deal
ers, retail liquor dealers and retail
malt liquor dealers
The government fiscal year ended
June 80, and the matter of renewing
all fiscal licenses under its control
was begun by the revenue depart
ment. Throughout July there was
a rush in the renewal of licenses.
In this connection there remains lit
tie further work to be done
There are some who have been
slow about the renewal of licenses.
but such cases will be placed in the
hands of the revenue agent, and fines
and prosecution will result if the
offenders delay in the matter of re-
neWal.
