This is solemn thought. You have
soul to save or to lose. Some will say
that it is not anybody else's business
about what they do. Dear reader, it
is, for you all have some one that is
praying for you that the Lord will
spare you until you are saved. Now
don't send and get jug for Christ

the awful contents of the jug will do.
That jug and old Satan may cause you
to kill your brother or some one of
your people. Now, friends, will tell
you enough for you to know this is so.

and he gave some to his friends and
some to the brother that did not in
tend to drink. They got out in town
that night and were almost crazy and
one would have killed his brother if
he had had anything to have shot him
with. If he had not been drinking he
would not have offered to hurt him.
That boy was somebody's son. He had

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutions
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses OF from 10 drops to a

Mr.. Taft's Fish Story.
National Magazine. J

National Magazine.
Justice Harlan told story to Judge
Taft Of how he went out to play golf
in fog. He thought he would drive
the ball and sent it off at ''hazard. -
He came to the caddie and asked him
to find the ball, looking within radi-
us of 300 yards. The caddie's eyes
stuck out. II done found dat ball,
Judge. 1t am in the hole sure 'nough.
1t jest wiggled in like. !" 1t was cer-
tainly remarkable that drive through
the fog should place ball where the
most earnest efforts of two to twenty
strokes may fail in broad daylight.
Judge Taft responded with fishing
story, also about fog. He went ou'
one day in a wagon to fish and the fog
came down thick. He drew up WHERE
he thought the stream ought to be
cast his line, felt pull, and hauled
in a fine trout-another bite and an
other, until the wagon was filled. Tn
fog lifted, and the wagon was thirty
yards from the river. There was a 81
lence which might be felt when Judg
Taft concluded, and Justice HarlaI
told no more fog stories.

1t is eminently just and proper that
the city of South Pittsburg should
raise a special fund by tax levy to
provide school fund for the educa-
ton of the rising generation of the
place. Just at present, unfortunately,
there is no school going on, just for
want of funds, and therefore we reit-
crate that it is eminently just and
proper that fund should be raised at
once and the school started up again.
To neglect the education of the young
is a crime against them. and the love

PRAISES GOV. SMITH AND
CHAIRMAN M'LENDON
President W. Jordan Massee of Middle Georgia Power Co.
Which Is to Spend Two Million and a Half Dollars
Developing Water Power on the Ocmulgee River,
Speaks Highly of the State Administration

or? Well, l guess I am, and so are
all my associates in this matter, -
continued Mr.. Massee.
Il tell you, and l know, because
was interested, that Hoke Sith has
done and will continue to do every
thing possible to interest outside
capital in Georgia. The best proof
of this statement is that he has done
it. The governor and Mr.. McLendon
made wonderful impression on the
New York capitalists that | brought
to Atlanta. They were simply as
founded to find two of the brainiest
and fairest men they had ever en-
countered, and wholly different from
the opinions they had formed of them
by reading some newspapers.
Il am here to tell you further that
this agitation to beat Hoke Smith by
making it appear that he is hostile to
foreign capital has done Georgia
great deal of harm. The newspapers
of the north, after reading some of
the Georgia publications, have taken
the idea that Georgia is a Quagmire
for foreign capital, when such is by
no means the case. Georgia is a
whole lot better than any of the 9TH
er states of the union in an industrial
way at this time, and if the politician
for political purposes will not give
it such bad name abroad industrial
matters will right themselves a great
deal quicker than otherwise
In addition to not being antagon-
istic to foreign capital coming to
Georgia Governor Smith has the abil-
ity to induce capital to come here.
/ never heard a finer talk on the re-
sources of Georgia in my life than
he put up to the eastern capitalists
in our behalf. When our New York
connections left for home they all
carried with them an excellent opin-
ion of Georgia, the governor and the
railroad commission.
1T may be alright enough to tell
some people about the present ad-
being opposed to dow Top
ment and lot of such rot, but when
/ try a man and find that he is all
right I don't mind saying So Gov
ernor Smith is a great deal more
patriotic than the people assailing
him, and his ability to do good for
Georgia is unquestiOned.
Put me down for Governor Smith
He is credit to Georgia. And | don't
mind telling you that l opposed his
election last year, as every one in my
own county Of Bibb knows"

THAT JOE BROWN CLUB.

Of all the amusing as we'll as
impudent efforts of the Brown con-
tingency up about Atlanta during the
present campaign the recent fake At
lanta Brown club so widely adver-
tised most assuredly takes the cake.
If it was not such a miserable
mess and blunder we would regard
it an insult to the intelligence of the
voters of the state, but the fake was
SO apparent, the analysis so easy, that
we are of the opinion that the Brown
fellows simply decided to inject a
little Sunday" pasttime into their
business with a view to getting the.
good people in pleasant humOr.
Think of a Brown Club in Atlanta
with more than 1000 names thereon
that could not be found in the city
directory, which covers almost every
nook of the county of Fulton. Think
of club with hotels, Fort MCPher-
son (Uncle Sans Barracks), minors,
citizens of Columbus and Cordele, of
men long since dead, of Appling and
other counties, and last but not least
with many names of HOke Smith yot-
ers thereon as shown by many pub
lished statements since the publica-
tiOn of that wonderful club! OF
course, all these names, including the
army fort and the hotels, are going
to walk right up and vote on the Atm
of June for Little Joel" Well, We
can scarcely blame Mr.. Browns man
ayers about his Holy of Holes
They are rapidly making the discov-
cry that they are going to need all
sorts of voters, whether dead or alive,
so he may count, on that early day
in June when Hoke Smith is gong
to sweep the state once more from
"Rabun Gap to Tybee light, from
the Chattahoochee to the Savannah
But, to be serious just a moment
the good people of the empire state
are not nearly so gulnble as to Dc
fooled with duplicated, IMPLICATED
quadruplicated, and even quintuph-
called names in the Joe Brown CLUBS
to say nOthir q of all those other 1aI-
cical things already referred to. we
are on to Mr.. Paxon and the otheI
Brown managers.

GOVERNOR SMITHS DUTY

From the Augusta Herald.
1t is much to be regretted that
Governor Smith is compelled to go to
campaigning around the state, in
stead of giving all his time to the dis
charge of the executive duties of his
office. But this has been forced upon
him by Mr.. Joseph M. Brown, and
those who are responsible for his en-
tering the race. Under the unwritten
law of precedent a Governor of Geor-
gla serves four years, and only once
before has it been attempted to break
this custOm-fOr the attempt to end
in failure, of course. Besides. Gov
ernor Smith was elected by an over
Whelming majority to do certain
things, part of which as yet has not
been done; and not having COMPLETED
his work, even if there were no prec-
edent to govern the case, he should
be reelected to finish what he had
so we'll begun. Opposition to him
having been sprung under these con-
dit1ons it becomes his duty to cam
N9lgn the state, in the interest of his
detection, just as much as it is his
duty to do any of the other work per-
tanning to his office.
