LETTER TO M. C. EDWARDS,
Dawson, Ga.


Dear Sir: Here's a mail-ordeI
paint-there are several such-45
per cent of it's solid part is barytes
and whiting, and 35 per cent of its
oil is benzine and water; the rest is
zinc lead and oil.
Barytes whiting benzine and wa
ter have nothing to do with paint,
except to make more gallons for vic
TINS to buy at IS a gallon put-on.
SIS a gallon put-on will buy the
best paint there is in the world; ;
here's a paint, about half neither pig
ment nor oil, imposed on the unsus-
pecting.
What is the remedy? What is the
victim to do? Do you favor pure
paint law in your state?
North Dakota has lately passed
such a law; it is worth, we presume,
SIS year to the average man. What
is wanted, of course, is paint of such
strength that 10 gallons will do a
1O-gallon job and wear long time.
Devoe is that paint. Should coun-
terfeits be put-down by law? Yours
truly w DEVOE q co
P. S.-Dawson Drug Co. and Peo-
pies Drug Store sell our paint.

SPINISTER WEEDS STABLE BOY
Miss Suffern, Sixty-Four, Marries,
Gives Him $4,000, and Then
He DiSaDnearS.

NEW YORK.-Miss Janette Suf-
fern, GA years old, last in direct de-
scent of the Sufferns who formerly
owned good part of the Ramapo
Valley and after whom Suffern, N.
Y, was named, is in the city seeking
traces of the stable boy with whom
she went through form of marriage
last month at Patterson. With some
of her money, she fears, he is now
travelling away from these parts.
Miss Suffern, once a nun, later sur
rounded by young army of cats and
dogs and other live stock, said two
years ago that she was done with
mankind; her animals were cleaner.
She has changed since then, it ap-
pears
Miss Suffern has been an awesome
figure for years in Suffern, Ridge
wood, Glen Rock, Garnerville, Ram
say and other places where she owns
Or did own-property. She went
to the best schools when she was a
girl, and spent two years studying
voice culture in Paris.
Several years ago Miss Suffern af-
fected short hair, boots and other
manish styles. She often carried
about with her a double arreled
shotgun. When they were at safe
distance the boys of the countryside
would attempt to nag her and her
many pets. Two years ago the fami-
ly pets numbered % dogs, II cats
and II horses, not counting a pony
She lived, while at Suffern, in what
was little better than a shanty.
They tell in Suffern now of how
one Sunday she marched down the
middle aisle of the Catholic church
there, which was built by Thomas F.
Ryan, followed by all her dogs.
When objection was made to them
she smiled and said that she be-
lieved little Gospel would do them
good. Her dogs were elected, and
that night her cows got out of their
Enclosure and destroyed the flowers
and grass plots around the church.

WHAT NEGRO SCHOOLS COST
State School Commissioner Pound
Gives Out Some Interesting
Information.

ATLANTA.-Valuable statistics on
the respective amounts given by
Georgia for the education of the
white and black races are contained
in a letter which State School Com
missioner Jere M, Pound has written
to certain northern publication.
1t shows that Georgia is giving
four times as much for negro edu-
cation as it receives from negroes
for educational purposes. He shows
the total receipt from all sources for
public education in 1908 amounted
to $3,786,830.70. 1t may be stated
that two-thirds of this amount goes
to pay the salaries of teachers. White
teachers in white schools receive ST.
289,258.12. Negro teachers in negro
schools receive $437,269.39.
The value Of property owned by
negroes in 1903 returned for taxa
ton in Georgia was $27,042,672 If
every dollar of this property paid
taxes at the rate of five mills it
would mean that the state secured
from this source $135,213.36 for all
state purpOses-educatiO and every
thing else. The receipts from poll
taxes paid by negroes amounted to
$4,000 in 1893, making a total of
$123,676 for education The actual
proportion of taxes paid by negroes
for educational purposes under the
state apportionment which sets aside
a tax of 18 mills for education, was
$48,676. In other words, four times
as much was paid out in Georgia for
negro education as was received from
negro tax payers for that purpose.

BAPTIST ASSOCIATION AT BRONWOODI'
The Session Just Held Was One of the Best in It's History
of Fifty Years. Prominent Churchmen Were Present,

The session of Friendship Associa-
tion. held with the Baptist churches
If Bronwood from last Tuesday to
Friday, was one of the pleasantest
ond most successful in it's history.
Nearly all of the AZ churches of
which the association is composed
we're represented.
Rev. A. c. Wellons of Plains
PREACHED the Introductory sermon,
and made a profound impression,
from the text: For me to live is
Christ" Rev. r. L. Bivins of Ameri-
ems was reelected moderator and
Rev. C. D. Carter of Ellaville was re-
elected clerk. The usual routine of
business was transacted, and a de-
Iightful Christ-like spirit pervaded
the entire session of three days.
Or. Lansing Burrows, pastor of the
First Baptist church at Americas, was
present two days, and added much
TO the interest of the body. He de-
livered a profound lecture Wednes-
dav at II O'Clock a. m. on Fifty
Years of Progress of the Southern
Baptist Convention. Tuesday night
Or. E. C. Dargan, pastor of the First
Baptis church at Macon, lectured on
Baptist Polity as Adapted to the
Twentieth Century" Possibly moth
ing during the entire session inter
ested the association so much as this
lecture.
Wednesday morning at II o'clock
Rev. John Martin of Shellman, ia
miliarly known as "Uncle" John
Martin, preached at the New Bron-
wood Baptist church. Uncle" John
will be SO years old next January.
His long and faithful ministry added
interest to the services.
Rev N. B. O'Kelley of Dawson
preached Wednesday night, and Rev.
w. L. Culberson of Shellman
preached Thursday at p. m.
The association adjourned Thurs
day at noon to meet next year at
County Line Baptist church, in
Schley county.
The good people of Bronwood en-
tertained the association royalty
Not only the Baptists, but other de-
nominations and the people generally
took part in entertaining the dele
gates and visitors.
Dinner on the grounds for three
consecutive days furnished enough
and to spare for all present.
Long will live in the memories OF
all who were present the generous
and kind treatment accorded to the
Baptist hosts assembled in this de.
lightful Terrell county town.

NOTHING LESS THAN A QUARTER

The 25-cent piece is the smallest
coin accepted in Alaska, says a trav-
eler. Nothing may be bought for
less than Is cents. This would be
entirely too much to charge for ar
ticles which sell for five cents in the
United States, so the Alaskans give
two or more of such articles for 25
cents.

a Bovine Freak.
Mr.. A. S. Perry, who handles mail

tie. True, the question Is not pro-
pounded in Just that way. but that
is virtually the meaning Of 1t.
The question arises through the
trespass action brought by Rebecca
Baker, by. her attorney, Wade War
rem Thayer, against Aniani Kaaia-
hua. The complaint makes the de-
PENDANT the trespasser, though the
specifications show that certain de-
ceased Japanese are really the ones
who are unlawfully on-or in-the
land.
1t Is alleged that the plaintiff Is
the owner o ia certain piece of land
and that the defendant allowed and
ordered certain large and unsightly
holes to be dug in that land, to its
great Disagreement and detriment
and that in these holes she permitted
to be buried the bodies of certain
Japanese who had shuffled on this
mortal coil.
She figures that. by this act o
trespass she has been damaged t
the tune of $1,000, which sum sh'
asks the court to allow her Also

gram promises to be an excellent

roll up to the function.

As the situation develops this paper

great body of the japanese is not in
sympathy with the agitators' strike.

tented.
They have been misled by false
statements and false promises. They
are standing their own light and
they must lea sooner or later that

plainly that the plantation will deal

reason for his return to his home at II
time when tariff Legislation OF the ut
most importance to these Islands Is
under consideration in Washington.

be here as in Washington, as he has
no vote. When the campaign starts
again these will be the first to lam
haste the Delegate and charge him
with deserving his post of duty at a
critical period.
The Goyemorship story furnished a
possible reason for the Delegates re-
turn. 1t would be entirely legitimate.
But the Delegate denies the truth of
this.

may work itself out to the entire sat.

est prosperity of Hawaii, but to a man

Mistake. On The situation.

1t Is a mistake to think that q con-
stitutional amendment is more effec-
tive than a statute.
1t is a mistake to think that the
adoption of a constitutional amend
ment would put an end to agitation.
Only four states have constitutional
prohibition, and not one of them is
free from contention over the liquor
problem.
1t is a mistake to say that all good
citizens are lined up in favor of con-
stitutional prohibition. Thoughtful
Intelligent men cannot readily see why
statutory prohibition of the most dras-
tic nature should be supplemented by
constitutional prohibition.
1t is a mistake to say that con-
stitutional amendment does not need
the support of public sentiment. 1t
needs II as much as does a statute,
and the one Is as readily ignored as
the other If supporting public senti-
