complete monopoly of the shoe ma

is the only alternative to going out

say that its interests are identical
with those of the shoe manufacturer,

TOO MODEST.

A duck who had faithfully stuck
to business during the summer and
laid several dozen large fawn-
colored eggs, complained that she
was not appreciated "See that
hen over there?" said the duck;
"she has not laid SO many eggs as
| have, nor 80 big, but she has
books written about her and verses
composed i'll her honor, while no.
body says a word about me. :"
"The trouble with you is," said a
wise Buff Leghorn cock, that was
standing near, 'that you do not
tell the public what you've done.
You lay an egg and waddle off
without letting anybody IN the
neighborhood know about it. If
you want to cut any ice in this
community, you must learn to ad-
vertise in the Marietta Journal. "

WHERE THE TARIFF TAX GOES.

The people of this country pay
more for the protection" of man
ufacturers, trusts and combines,
than they contribute in the way of
tariff tax to the revenue of the
government. Take the sugar tariff.
for instance. The tax on refined
sugar is prohibitory So little is
brought into the country that the
resulting revenue is a negligible
item. But this tax enables the
sugar trust to add 2 cents a pound
to the price of refined sugar. The
consumption OF sugar last year in
the United States was nearly g.
40O,0O0,000 pounds-showing a
per capita use of 80 pounds. The
tax on raw sugar contributes heav-
lily to the revenue; but the tax on
refined goes to swell the profits of
the trust. And this IS the way the
Republican protective tariff sys-
tenn works all the way down
through the long list of protected
articles which the people have to
buy.-Albany Herald.

CHARACTER.

Character is greater and higher
than money, intellect, or love,
because it determines the use and
direction of these three. 1t is the
character of the rich man which
determines whether he shall be a
benefactor or curse to society. 1t
is character which determines
whether the learned man shall use
his knowledge as destructive or as
a constructive force in society. 1t IS
character which determines wheth-
er love shall be a passion working
havoc in human life, or a grace
identifying aud ennobling life.
Character is the determining force
behind money, intellect, love-snd
so it is the greatest force in human
life. Realizing this, all will APP
preciate the necessity of careful
thought and thoughtful care
in building character Great
Thoughts.

HOMEMADE CLOTHES FOR THE
GOVERNOR.

From the Marietta Journal it is
learned that Governor-elect Joseph
M. Brown will be inaugurated In
suit of "Joe Brown" cheviots
| made in Cobb county by a new
pants factory just established there
by Mr.. J. Lindsey Johnson, the
brilliant editor of the Rome
Tribune-Herald, one of the bright
est and best of the Georgia dailies.
He has bought the Concord Wooden
Mills, and now has them in opera
ton. Among the patterns are
stripes and solid cheviots, black
and brown. His brown are called
"Joe Brown" cheviots.
The Telegraph is glad to learn of
this Georgia enterprise; and Is
more than glad, if the report is
true, to learn that our democratic
governor, who is distinctly Jeffer-
sonian in his simplicity, is not
ashamed to be inaugurated in
homemade" clothes. We are
glad that he is going to cut the
silk-hat and glad-rag parade, as
we'll as the clustering fanfare of
trumpet and drum. Of course the
Inauguration should be q serious
affair--almost solemn-but it is
time we we're cutting out, at least
in Georgia, vain limitations of
royal purple and regal capers.
When Jefferson was sworn III as
President he rode to the capitol
on horseback and hitched the ami
NAL to a hitching post, and then |
walked into the building and took |
the oath. Mark the contrast with |
the pomp and circumstance of our
latter day inaugurations. More
and more we invest our public SER
wants with regal equippages-at
least we permit them to thus crown

HOPE LIES In GOOD MEN.

The hope of the South lies with
men who see the possibilities of a
majestic development and who
work patiently to produce that
development, though their own
eyes may close in death before
that development arrives. The
hope of the South is in it's states
men that are and that are to be.
The hope of the South rests
with young men of fervid purpose
and vision, who, forgetting the
things that are behind, except ss
challenge to their own deter
mined, self-sacrificlng heroism,
face the future, and declare that
peace shall have it's victories more
notable than war.-Washington

Cook county, Illinois, has es-
tablished wheel tax" on vehi-
cles. The tax is graduated accord
ing to the width of tires on wheels.
A tire of standard width pays 70
tax, but g tire under standard is
required to pay in proportion to
its narrowness. Wide tires really
improve the roadways, while mar
row tires cut and injure them. The
wheel tax was not adopted in Cook
county as revenue measure, but
was designed to protect the i'm
proved roads, which cost the gen.
eral public great deal of money.

The state of Massachusetts has
q problem on its hands in the ex-

Is SO great that it is computed that
the state has a surplus Of 100000
old maids and widows. The larger
part of these are not in affluent
circumstances, and many of them
are very poor. How these may be
provided for, that they may be
self-supporting and not become q
charge on the state, is one of the
states problems.

after severe attack of the measles,
which developed into pneumonia, was
left pitifully thin, weak and emaciat-

ach was SO weak it could not retain
food. She lay in this condition for
weeks, and nothing the doctor pre-
scribed did bit of good, and we were
beginning to think she would never re-
cover.
AT this time we commenced to give
her Vinol, and the effect was marvel
Gus. The doctor was amazed at her
progress, and when we told him we
were giving her Vinol, he replied, 1t
is fine remedy, keep it up We did
so, and she recovered her health and
strength months before the doctor
thought she could" ]. w. Flagg,

organs, makes rich, red blood, and
