LETTER TO w. j. LEWIS,
Dawson, Ga.

Dear Sir: There are two sorts o.
paints: one to sell and make money
the other to paint and save money
Who gets the money? The maker
the seller, the paintre.
Where does it come-from? Inc
owner, of course; he pays the painter
for doing the work, and the dealer
for gallons of paint; and he pays the
paint-manufacturer, gallons again;
more gallons, more money all round
for the owner to pay to the painter
dealer and paint-manufacturer.
What's the paint that saves mon
CIV? Gallons again; less gallons, less
money for paint, less money fol
wages: a gallon of paint is IS for
wages and paint. Less gallons, less
money to pay, IS gallon.
Two sorts of paint: less gallons
and more: less money and more: 50
a gallon difference: two to one IN
gallons and money.
Tt costs twice as much to paint the
average more-gallon paint as to paint
Devoe. When the people nnd-out,
it may not be quite so easy to sell
extravagant paint by calling IL
"cheap." Yours truly
F w DEVOE & co
P. S.-Dawson Drug Co. and Peo-
pies Drug Store sell our paint.

AN OFFICE FOR EVERY VOTER.
The Ideal Condition That Exists in
New Hampshire Town.

Fro ma political point of view the
best conditioned town in the United
States is Winslow, n H. There are
Just exactly nine voters in the town,
and there are nine offices to be filled.
That makes the circle complete. The
nine get together, apportion the
offices, vote for each other and them
selves. and the thing is done. They
never have split tickets or contested
elections in Winslow. The popula-
ton of the town is something like
800. but the qualified voters are
limited to the number named.

FIVE THOUSAND DIE A WEEK
NO EFFORT is MADE TO CHECK
RAVAGES OF BUBONIC PLAGUE.

Sights Along the River Ganges and
Elsewhere in India Make Tourists
Hurry Out of Stricken Land.
Adyices from Calcutta say that In
dia is today squalid and reeking from
shore to shore. There is not hotel
worthy the name outside of Bombay,
and in the presidency of Bombay
5000 people week are dying of bu-
bonic plague. The plague, which be-
gan two years ago, is growing stead
lily worse and spreading.
The apathy of the natives and their
fatalistic belief is largely RESPONSE
BILE. No Hindu will kill an animal if
he can avoid it. The rat which car
ries the plague from place to place
and inoculates human beings,
through it's active parasites and as
sistants, the fieas, is a sacred animal,
the chosen steed of Ganesh, the ele-
phant-faced, one of the foremost of
the Hindu gods.
So the rat fourishes and the deadly
plague extends. The feas bite the
white man as we'll as the native.
Outwardly, to the material eye at
least, England has not left mark
on India beyond making the country
safe for foreign travel.
1t was Bishop Heber, who drowned
himself in his bath tub in Trichyno-
ply, southern India, who said in his
wrath:
Here every prospect pleases and
only man is vile"
The people of India are the most
miserable of creatures, under a smil-
ing and genial sun. Millions of them
are born and die and never have
enough to eat from birth to death.
At Benares one native drinks of
the sacred Ganges, next to him an
other is bathing in it, on the other
side a woman is dying with her feet
in the sacred water, and then comes
floating a part of the body of a pious
Hindu that was burned, according to
rule, by his eldest son on the banks
of the Ganges and then pitched into
! the river.
The English government has not
done a thing for lepers, and they
roam the streets even of Calcutta
without toes or fingers, mumbling
from their death heads, in which
only the eyes seem alive, craving
aims; objects not of organized gov
eminent care, but of the chance
charity of strangers and aliens.
Southern India is horrible, too. 1t
is the stronghold Of the devout Hin
du, who practices polytheism and dis
torts the human frame. Men can De
seen resting on beds of spikes. Oth-
ers dislocate their limbs and keep
them so till useless and atrophied.
The most horrible fakir of holy
man" is at Trichynopoly. Like the
circus contortionist, he has twisted
his legs till his feet are swung back
of his armpits, and he hops along
on one hand and begs aims with the
other, human hobgoblin.
India has been made the place of
romance and beauty by many writer's,
and the architecture of the great Hin
du temples has been written about
seriously in a wise way. AS a mat
ter of fact men shudder.
No wonder England diScOurageS
touring in India. People admit its
beauties, natural and architectural,
but leave it's shores and people and
their communications of plague, lep-
rosy, smallpox and cholera with a
shudder of relief.

ALLOWED 1T, BUT
SHOWED NO ALACRITY IN
Publishing THE FACT.
SENSATION DEVELOPS
|Jt Is Also Learned That Other Passes
Have Been Given. Chairman
McLendon Issues an En-
pIanatOry Statement.

DtdIlaJOfy oldUSIlcHl'
Something of a sensation has been
caused by the unearthing of an un-
published order of the railroad COM
mission which permits Chairman
! John A. Betjeman of the Georgia
4 immigration Association, which is in
terested in bringing foreign immi-
grants to Georgia, to accept and use
free railroad passes in this state.
The order is dated March 81 last,
and was not given out to the press of
the state, as has been customary
with the commission. Heretofore all
of its orders have been given out
freely for publication, and just why
this one should have been wishheld
is not stated.
The fact is it was not given out
until its existence was discovered by
correspondent of out of town pa
pers, who asked for a copy of it that
it might be furnished his papers.
So far as is known Mr.. Betjeman
is the only exception the commission
has made to it's order of Oct. 20,
1907, forbidding the issuance of free
passes to any persons except those
specifically allowed to receive inter
state transportation under the terms
Of the Hepburn law passed by con-
gress.
Active to Get Immigrants.
Chairman Betjeman of the Georgia
immigration Association is we'll
known citizen of Albany, who came
into statewide notice as the result
OF his activity in the matter of Sc
curing foreign immigrants for Geor-
gla. He has been for the last two
years practically the head of the i'm
migration movement in this state,
conducting the correspondence, ar
ranging for the coming of foreign
immigrants and locating them after
their arrival.
The incident recalls Gov. Smith S
trip to Europe to study the immigra-
non problem during the interval be-
tween his election and his taking

"Begorra, how do they reach the
top OF the thing" he wanted 10 know.
You'll not catch Jim going up there.
Boys, oh. boys!" And Giblin was mar
rowly missed by a taxicab as he
started across the street after his
hat, which had blown away as the
old fellow was stretching his neck.
Then came a trip in the subway.
There are two things that the sight
seer could not cope with-a revolving
door and an elevator. Starting into
the Pulitzer building, he was not only
puzzled by the door, but frightened.
He was frightened again when the ele'
vator started up. He had never been
in one before. The highest up he had
ever been was on the top rung OF n
ladder back In the old days when he
carried the hod."
"Pve never seen so much In my
life" said he when he had been
shown all the sights OF the town.
Sure this is a great place" He was
moved to tears as he said goodbye
at the ferry. II had been the greatest
day OF his life.

We seek in vain today among the
rich feeling OF security in regard to
their wealth aud OF simple enjoyment
OF IT,; neither do we find among the
poor that patient acquiescence in the
poverty which appears so inevitable
and Interchangeable to human eyes.
An underlined fear of approaching
danger haunts the man of wealth; he
sees a menace in the present condi-
ton OF men and affaiR, indistinct but
none the less real, SO that he has
come to look upon his possessions as

another
Tie poor man Is consumed by envy

and society, as he has learned TO I'M
derstand IL, does he discover any con-
yincing reasons for the fact that he Is
poor, and hence excluded from the
table OF life's pleasures. He listens
with fierce impatience to a voice
within him which whispers that his
rights TO the blessings OF this life are
as good as any mans.

Pessimism of Rich and Poor
BY MAX NoRDAU.

What do We learn from the domes-
tic policies OF each one of all the
civilized countries of Europe? The
contrasts are becoming sharper all the
time. the struggles between the politi.
cal parties more violent. The con
servatiye adberents OF the existing
state OF affairs are gradually dying
of. and one OF these days there will
be none left OF them upon the surface
OF the earth. There will remain only
reaction or reform-that is to say, rev.
olution forward or backward. The
former wishes 10 recall the past, the
latter to hasten the future. and the re-
actionlst hates the present folly as
much as the reformer.
This universal mental restlessness
and uneasiness exert powerful and
many-sided influence upon individual
life. dread OF examining and COM
pretending the actualities OF life pre-
walls 10 frightfully alarming extent.
and manifests itself in a thousand
ways. The means of sensation and
perception are eagerly counterfeited
by altering the nervous system by the
use OF stimulating or narcotic poisons
OF all kinds, manifesting thereby an
instructive aversion to the realities OF
appearances and circumstances. Indi-
viduals and society try TO drown their
sorrows In the flowing bowl, and hand
in hand with this instructive selfde-
ception and attempt at temporary
oblivion OF the actual world goes the
final plunge into eternal oblivion. Sui
cides are increasing in all the highly
civilized countries.

VISITS N. Y. CITY FIRST
TIME IN IS YEARS

NEW YORK. Dec. Jas. Thorn
as Giblin, an old resident OF Jersey
City, has set his foot In New York
for the first time in thirty-fve years.
He had not been out of the limits or
the city across the Hudson In all that
time, and the occasion OF his previous
visit was his arrival at Castle Garden
from Ireland In 1873.
Giblin is a pleasant old man OF sew
enty. living at No 209 Railroad-ave.
He came from the little town OF Molly
mox, County Roscommon, and many a
time since settling in Jersey City he
had looked across the Hudson, but
that was all.
When seen by reporter at his
home he said he had been too busy
working for the Pennsylvania railroad
as switchman all that time TO go
sightseeing. He said he had talked
OF the trip" every summer for a
score OF more OF years, but he had
never got on his way.
Last Tuesday Giblin was pensioned
by the railroad company. and now he
says all ne has to do Is to loaf about
and draw his money. II always
wanted to look around New York, "
said he. rather plaintiveiy. so the
reporter asked how he would like TO
come along and see the sights right

a seat and wait until get on my good

Soon he was dressed In his best,
which consisted OF long black
frock coat. black trousers. an old
fashioned muller about his neck and
a big. grizzly beard and weather.
