SELF,RELIANT, LAW-LOYING AND BRAVE
Gov. Joseph M Brown Paid Great Tribute to the Vr
tues of the People of Georgia at Taft Banquet

city and the country keep themselves
more thoroughly advised of current
events and of matters affecting the
common interest than in Georgia. In
no state do the masses take the mi
tiative in determining the public
course SO independently of self-con-
sidered leaders as they do in Geor-
gia. In fact, as anomalous as the
assertion may seem, in her boundaries
the people lead, the politicians fol-
low. Hence, in no other state more
than in Georgia can we term them
endowed with common sense, ami
mated by justice and guided by con-
science-the sovereign people.
In Georgia We have a pure dem
ocracy with no public preference
save for the good, no aristocracy 9TH
er than that of merit, no rewards eX-
cept those for honest endeavOr. In
Georgia her people have declared in
thunder tones that one man is as
good as another SO long as he acts
righteously; that the owner of one
species of porperty shall have the
same protection in his investment as
shall the owner of any other species
of property, so long as the invest
ment is legitimate one. They have
decreed that capital shall have it's
just increment and labor it's just
wages. They will enforce that decree
infleXibly.
They have declared that this state
is an arena wherein fair play, pro-
priety and practical consideration for
mutual right can always find equal
lty Of opportunity and protection
while they owe, and must fulfill,
equality of obligation
1T may be asserted that am an
optimist, and that optimism is too
often unreasoning; but my percep-
lions of the people of Georgia, based
upon life time of experience among
them, has fixed the judgment of their
sterling qualities which | have Just
enunciated; and if any person in my
hearing shall demand the reason for
my optimism for material Georgia
will point him to Is cent cotton, to
5S cent turpentine, to advancing SELL
ing prices for all things Georgia is
producing.
Such, Mr.. President, is the state
| commend to you There is no
brighter star in the blue field on our
flag than here. Such, too, are it's
people, loyal, gallant, true. If they
admire your personality it is with
sincere appreciation of your broad
minded soul which has said: Every
American is my brother!' If they
differ with you as to certain policies
it is in that catholic spirit which con-
%Lo+ >
each believes is right.
And now, my fellow citizens, let
us cooperate for Georgia. Let sin
cerity be the base whereon we build
the structure of our civic policies,
singing, as we build, the song of
peace and good will to men, and may
the time ever endure when. with pow
er at rest, as the symbol of the soy
ereign people, we shall see the en-
thrOned law"

LINTERS FIND READY MARKET
There Are Scores Of Buyers in the
South Looking For Scrap
Cotton

With the price of cotton climbing
sky-high, and the cotton cron
throughout the south acknowledged
to be very short the spinners the
world over are in the market for any
substitute for the long staple for
manufacturing purposes. This state
OF affairs has given a new impetus
to the market for 'linters," as they
ore commonly called, which is that
hber which the cotton oif mills of
the south take from the cotton seed
before crushing the same to extract
the oil and grind the cake into meal.
rms staple is not very long, but this
year, on account of the splendid
weather during which the cotton has
been picked from the fields, it is
unusually free from stains and of ad-
mirable spinning quality.
AS result there are scores of
buyers of linters in the south who
are visiting the various cotton oil
mills and mill headquarters buying
up these bales of linters--Georgia
alone making $4,000 bales of 500
pounds each-which are to be ship
ped abroad for spinning purposes.
These linters are shipped abroad
where the staple is spun into mercer
lied silk and manufactured into
various articles of wear and imported
into this country. Those linters
which are not sold for spinning pur-
poses are manufactured in this coun-
try into cloth. felts, made up into
and used as the padding
for comforts.
The sale of 'linters," another most
interesting by-product of the cotton
seed, now a most important part of
the cotton crop, has only been deyel-
oped in the south few years. but is
rapidly taking its place among the
by-products which are now so uni
yersaIly used the world over.

NO SMALL CHANGE is USED.
Use, Residents of Alaska Say, Means
Low Wages, So 1t Is Barred.

Use, Residents of Alaska Say, Means
Low Wages, So 1t Is Barred.
NO pennies, nickels and dimes go
in Alaska said John Hoover to a
reporter of Chicago. When | first
went to that country | saw bartend-
ers look curiOusly at dime that
some tenderfoot had tossed on the
bar, and then sweep it off on the
floor with their hands. | wondered
at this contempt for real money, and
asked some questions about it, dis
covering that no one ever took nick
els or dimes, and that nothing could
be bought in the Klondike for less
than twenty-five cents.
Take the ordinary sack of tobac-
co, for instance, which we get here
for nickel. There they cannot sell
it for a quarter hardly. so they make
it two for a quarter, but will not sell
one for fifteen cents.
1T is common cause among those
people up there. They do not want
nickels and dimes introduced, for in
PRODUCTION of small change would
mean lower wages and lower PRICES.
Ordinary shovelers get 81 or SIS a
day now, and other labor is paid in
proportion.

No woman should submit to a surgi-

Vegetable Compound, made exclusive
ly from roots and herbs, fair trial.
This famous medicine for women

most valuable tonic and remover Of
the female organism. Women resid-
ing in almost every city and town In
the United States bear willing testi-
mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia

1t cures female ills, and creates radi-
ant, buoyant female health. If you

PERILS OF THE POSTWAR
COUNTRIES WHERE THEIR LIVES
ARE ALWAYS IN DANGER.

POstofIicc at Height of 1000 Feet in
Switzerland. Eaten by Tigers
and Killed by Snakes.
There are parts of the world where
the task of the letter carrier is act
ually attended with serious danger,
and where he not infrequently loses
his life in the line of duty.
In Switzerland there exist several
postoftices at height of 1000 or
more feet. There is a letter box on
the very summit of the Vanguard,
from which four collections are made
daily. This box is nearly 10000 feet
above the sea level. Here, some few
years ago, three letter carriers were
crushed to death by an avalanche.
In neighbOring canton, in the sum-
mer of 1903, pOstman fell into a
crevasse while crossing a glacier, his
two full bags on his back. All efforts
to recover either the body or the
mails were of no avail But few
years thereafter the glacier gave up
its prey many miles lower down the
valley, and the long-lost letters were
delivered to as many of the addressed
as could be traced.
Another danger to which the Swiss
letter carrier is exposed is attack by
the huge, fierce eagles that soar hum
grily above the least-frequented
passes. Usually the men are able to
off
but not always.
In India the letter carrier has his
troubles in the form of snakes. In
one year alone, it is estimated. no
fewer than 1875 carriers met their
death through being bitten by poison
Gus snakes. A trifie of 27 or so were
killed and eaten by tigers and other
wild beasts.
The camel pOstman of the Sahara
hinterland is another who needs lots
OF nerve, inasmuch as the wild tribes
men OF the desert regard him as their
natural prey; so that it may be said
that he never knows when he sets
out in the morning whether he will
reach his destination at night. But
he purSues the even tenor of his way.
leSdI ulHS du ambush Dy Sp0drm6n as
part of the ordinary routine Incl
dent to his job.
Mail deliveries in thinly settled re-
gions of the east are in some cases
as primitive as possible. In Japan
the rural post runner still swings his
baskets across his shoulders precisely
as his ancestors did long ago. In
FormOsa, also, the mails are carried
to this day by a man on foot, who
| joys along with paper lantern and
an umbrella.
In Siberia, except along the lines
of railway, reliance is had on post
sledges; and there are places where
more than two deliveries a year
would be exceptional.
In China, in the interior, except
in few districts, there is no regular
| letter delivery, and consequently no
| postman. But many of the man
darins and taOais maintain unofficial
services of their own, keeping their
runners up to the mark by the SIM
lple eXpedient of occasionally behead-
ing laggard or two.

Lack of complete mastery of the

English. Not altogether, but con-
servatively."
He caressed his van dyke lovingly
as he spoke. The barber, a taciturn
workman, said nothing, but tucked
the towels and aprons and other ar
ticles of his trade in and around the
japanese editors neck. Then he be-
gan.
Americans in the shop were start
led when they suddenly listened to a
fluent flow of what probably was
strong language in Japanese. The
barber had encroached on the Jap
anese imperial beard with the result
that half of it fell beneath his keen
blade before his customer could pro-
test. Then it was necessary to cut
it all Off
Members of the Japanese party en-
jOyed the situation. Mr.. Zumoto de-
clined to see it in a humorous light.
