THE NON.ESSENTIALS
Captain Billingsley PHILOSOPHERS on
=. Some of the Useless Worries
of Life.

Editor Herald:
Man cannot spell out contentmenu
who is a slave to his desires, appe-
tites, and low ideals. One so ham,
pered, is much like monkey led
around by a chain and made to col
lect pennies to the footing of the
hand organ. One of the drawbacks
of life is, mans multiplicity of MA
terial wants. In so hampering HIM
self he has added a mass of diff
culties to life and barred out pleas
ures many.
AS we demand more delicate food
better clothing, gorgeous lodgings,
and better amusements, the question
of procuring means to secure these
things become more acute. AS long
as W" adopt a rule of simplicity ana
follow it, all is we'll, but when we
depart from it, complications arise,
health vanishes, and happiness takes
a back seat. No one can retain for
a long season bodily vigor without
simple natural living.
The simple essentials of life are
found in these, first of ALL correct
dse;' breathing, temperance in all
things. simple clothing fitting to the
times and country. sanitary dwell
:n= lace, good air and exercise.
Dolly men commit suicide because
thcir fortunes have failed, or in
comes become materially reduced -
so that the accustomed luxeries "an-
not be purchased, and rather than
lctr"ncl, they pass out. They could
have cut out many wants and lived
IL simply life, with less exactiEg
needs, and within the bounds Of mod
est tastes. In all grades of societ:
we have an enervating fungus of non
esessentials.
II does not take a philosopher to
tell us truly, that the upward growth
and happiness of man is not meas
ureI hy the multitude of his wants,
and the strenuous bending of his
energies to secure them. We find
liscoM-ent in all classes of society,
even beyond those who lack att
the necessities of life. Heart long
ings we find among those of nluIcst
means, as we'll as among the ooc-
lent. Contentment is a mental
state, not a material condition. 1t
is found in the poised, fearless, un-
selfish mind stripped of vanity, envy
and greed.
Thousands are daily dishonest, be-
ca.:se they have many wants, and
vii. hci reconcile themselves to sim
lrle living. Articificial needs, often
grow into costly follies, that strang-
le legitimate needs-such as the
intoxicant drink habit. 1t swallows
up fabulous sums yearly-mOre than
enough to pay off the national debt
of over two billion dollars. The
reign of desires breeds selfishness,
and stiles brotherhood.

MARIETTA CORPORATION
DECLARED BANKRUPT
Georgia Manufacturing &
Public Service Company
so Declared.

In the United States court last Thurs
day Judge Newman handed down a
decision in the Georgia Manufacturing
and Public Service Company, a corpora
ton located in Marietta, which supplies
this city with lights, in which the CON-
rany was declared bankrupt.
The corporation was one Of million
dollars, and was widely known through
out the State as the owner OF large
paper mill. On August lst an involun-
tary petition in bankruptcy was filed
with the clerk of the United States
court against the company, and James
T. Anderson, of Marietta, was named
as receiver, his bond being fixed at $685.

involuntary petition, the Georgia Man.
ufacturing and Public Service Company
presented demurrer thereto, and on
the oath of the same month both petit
ton and demurrer were sent TO George
D. Anderson as special master in the
case. The special master, on December
10th last, filed his report.
Thursday morning, after Judge New
man rendered his decision, Receiver
Anderson presented paper, showing a
contention between the corporation and
Marietta, touching the payment OF
taxes by the company and ansaccount
owed by the city to the company 1t
is shown that the company owes the
city taxes amounting to $7l3.35, while
the city owes the company $4OO,65 for
electric lights. The city refuses to pay
it's bill until the company pays the
taxes demanded. Judge Newman en-
tered an order to the receiver to pay
the difference in the amounts to the
city.
The assets of the company as shown
by the report of the receiver are 81 ,316,-
430.11, while its liabilities are put down
at 81 49,, 1851.

Meanwhile the country has had

much "stuck on" the negro as 1t

ONLY A FEW DULLARS IN THE
TREASURY.

When the warrant for $94O, 900
for pensions had been drawn on
the State treasury Monday only
about $4,000 was left to the
States credit The pension pay
ments make big hole in the
State s revenues. There is no COM
plant on that ecore, provided only
those entitled to pensions get them.
Bnt are there not scores If not
thousands drawing pensions from
the State who are not entitled to
them? Nobody can answer that
question The Pension Commits.
sioner has expressed the opinion
that good many pensions are be-
ing paid to persons not entitled to
them. He is the best informed
man in respect to pensions in the
State, and his opinion is therefore
worth something. Isn't it worth
enough to justify the legislature in
taking steps to find out whether or
not there are fraudulent pensions
being paid? 1t would seem so.-I

NEW RULING UN FLOUR,

If, after awhile, the housewife
finds that the flour she gets from
her grocer, is a little off color, is
not as white and fine looking as it
used to be, she need not make
complaint. 1t will not be the gro
GERS fault. The fact is that the
flour of commerce for a number of
years has been bleached, that is,
whltened, with nitrate of soda.
The nitrate used in the bleaching
process is of almost in finitesmal
quantity. The Agricultural De.
partment, acting under the pure
food laws, has directed that the
bleaching of flour for domestic
consumption must be stopped, and
that is all there is to it. The
American consumer of bread
therefore, must get along with
dark bread, whether he likes 1t or
not. But flour manufactured in
this country for export may be
blaached the same as before. The
reason for the prohibition is that
bleaching offers opportunities for
adulteration.

A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.
Prominent Citizen Charged With Tri-
fling With Widows Affections.

AAheS UAOA VANV - HAANN"VAOe
For some time, it is alleged, one of
our prominent citizens has paid more
or less attention to young and beauti-
full widow of this town, forgetting, or
at least not needing, the advice OF the
immortal Mr. Weller to his son Samuel
to "beware Of the vidders."
He now claims that he was not Sc
rious in his intentions, and that he was
not attached to her; but however that
may have been, the widow became at
tached to him, and as he seems to have
lost interest in the matter, she has at
tached his property, which is form Of
attachment that he does not enjoy.
The result is that he finds himself the
defendant in q first-class breach Of
promise case, and his questionable atti-
tude towards the widow will be given
an airing in the near future.
This will be in the form of mock
court" trial, to be given in the court
