Let me tell you how to lessen your
work 80 per cent this summer,
Clean and put away all heavy drap-
cries. couch covers and rugs Spread
& few of your smaller rugs on the
floors. Cover your upholstered fur
Take down your nice curtains and
put them away until winter comes
again. Leave your windows bare, or,
IL you must have curtains, put up
some homemade rufiieless ones OF
cheap lawn or screen that are easy
to launGer.
Cover your couch with a spread
of cretonne or chlntz. Sew together
two strips of the material three yards
long and make a three.inch hem all
around. Stitch on four-inch band
OF plain goods Of the predominating
color OF the cretonne, four inches from
the edge. and inter the corners
Put away your heavy pillow covers
and substitute cooler ones made Of
crash or Bingham.
Don't think your house will look
bare and cherries; ii will look cool
and restiul-and above all clean. aud
you will spend a much more comfort
able summer.
Don't fret over dishwashing at
night. pile the dishes in the sink and
wash them tomorrow morning-thus
you have an extra half hour on the
porch with the family. al the best
time OF the day.

It's sc ne is laid partly In London and

two heroines. one the daughter of a
poor man. who is rescued by a nice

lift. educated and made useful and
independent The other is the sweet
young daughter OF retired general,
whose mission in life is TO be lovely

lady WEEDS the brave man whom she
loves. although Cor little while the
prospect is a bit dubious. Mary

THE Garden Yard" by Bolton Hall
Amid much talk about bonanza farms
and demonstrations of the lure Of
wheat growing regions arises Mr.. Bel-
ton Hall TO remark that the real bon
ANA farm Is not 'on the prairles Of
the west. but in a mans own back
yard; that a little land used Intensive
IN is more practical and more profit
able than a great tract skinned from
year TO year, that more can be made
out Of "A peach tree or two. or few
fruit bushes near Ivy. and intelligently
taken care of. than can be made out
OF a great farm which is half-farmcc.
Mr.. Halls book Ehows both the meth
DDS and results by which may be
built up a wage, salary and fee-earn-
ing community which is in no way de-
pendent upon wages, salaries or fees.
The United States census OF manu-
features, published four years age,
calculated that to employ a man In
ordinary industries requires. on the
average, S2,065. But intensive agri-
culture and particularly home agri-
culture can be undertaken on cap
ital OF less than $40, provided he have
the acre Of land. Mr. HIS new book
shows Just how this may be done,
and how IL has been done by the prac-
teal men who have revised his lucid
and exhaustive treatise on intensive
farming.

'POssUM AND POTTAGE.
m the Meriwether indicator

From the Meriwether Vindicator.
We do not view with approval the
efforts to rend the solid south and
turn it over to the G. o. P.
1t is a sOphistry that seems to
tickle the paIates of some new con-
verts to republicanism, but BODIES no
good to this section.
The solid south has been hereto
fore the bulwark of southern rights
against which the waves of republi-
can graft have beat in harmless eff
forts to crush us.
If the enfranchisement of the ne
gro has served no other purpose than
to maintain the integrity of a united
south then it's results are sacred.
If the disfranchisement of the ne
gro means a divided Dixie then the
baneful fruits of this legislation will
vOcates the curses of an outraged
people.
The future will demonstrate the
wisdom or folly of this legislative
propaganda.
A divided south, with the edu-
Gated negro holding. the balance of
power, is the black cloud hanging
over this section.
1t will take the best efforts of pa
trfotic craftsmanship to avert this
calamity.
In the face of this impending dan
ger no true southerner should yield
to the Establishments of President
Taft in his efforts to rend in twain

was for cigarette. That a cigarette
smoker should prove a hero and have
strength enough to work continuous
Iy for fifty hours is against all of the
concepts and teachings of the anti

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1909-02-03

The political protection of the Sa-
loon, says Harris Dickson in the Jan
uary Circle Magazine, gradually
aroused public sentiment and arrayed
against the saloon thousands of men
who had no prejudice against the
moderate use of liquor. Patriotic
citizens regarded the whole system
as the greatest stumbling block in
the path of honest government. No
matter what plan might be proposed
for the reform and advancement of
the city the allied liquor and crimi-
nal elements stood beside the ma
chine politicians, musket in hand, to
defend the old system. Liberal
minded men came to believe that the
saloon, as a social and political in
st1tutlOn, must be wiped from the
face of the earth before anything
whatsoever could be accomplished
After the saloon is destroyed it will
be easy to uprOOt the weaker evils
which have found shelter behind it..
thousands of gentlemen say they had
rather see the liquor business in the
outlaws,
lodging from bush to bush and hid
ing in the alleys, than to see it con-
troIIed by political tyrants who boss
the town. They cannot understand
why the liquor business should go
hand in hand with every form of vice
and crime. The hardware trade and
the grocery stores do not find it nee
essary to enter into such partner
ships. The dry goods trade does not
continually fight the law. If this an
tagonism to law and decency be nee
essary for the success of the liquor
business then there must be some in
herent wrong in the trade itself, and
that trade should be stopped.
such reasons as these have drawn
into prohibition ranks thousands of
reluctant recruits; originally they did
not want to be prohibitionists. but
are none the less enlisted for the
war and mean to fight it out to the
last ditch.

The Combat Bet7geen RIght and Wrong.
From the Farm and Home.

The best method of fighting evil is
to fight it with good. If you want to
have your children choose the right
illustrate it to them. If you want
them to avoid bad books place good
books within their reach. If you
want them to keep away from the
grocery or the saloon at night make
the home 50 cheerful, make their
companions so welcome that they will
prefer the home to the saloon or the
grocery.
Make the good attractive. Make
it cheerful. That is the nature of
good, and when evil is cheerful and
attractive it has stolen the garments
Of right. cone nail drives another
