Heart
Troubles

The heart may be weak
just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs.
It often happens that a
person is born with a weak
heart. Then again dis
ease, fevers, over-exertion,
anxiety, nervousness,
rheumatism, etc. weaken
the heart. The result is
shortness Of breath, pal
pitation, pain in the heart,
or in some Of the nerves
of the chest or abdomen.
The heart should be
strengthened with a tonic,
and for this nothing equals

else OF godliness and charity will mold

tenance, neither to what darkness their
departure will consign the loveliest,

of which even momentarily will not

When Eugene Field was managing

with metropolitan preciseness. Fields
official position gave him access to the

the guidance Of the bookkeeper. In
this manner he generally contrived to
have his salary expended several
weeks In advance.
One day Field was In hurry and. as
usual, In need of cash. Rushing to the
money drawer. he hastily scooped out
coins and bills. transferred them to his
overcoat pocket and started away But
apparently he was struck by the
thought that this would be confusing

The COWS are lowing at the gate,

Miss Parrish Comes Back

of October fourteenth is true-every
word of it-Mrs. B. F. Kennedy's
opinion to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
People who are so bright, so thrift
ty so intelligent, so eager to learn
as those Mrs. Kennedy writes about
are not in the class that I have in
mind at all. There are a great many
people who live on rented farms that
are just as progressive and just as
good citizens as anybody, but the
other class exists and it's name is Lee
on, too. If Mrs. K. has taught
school extensively in South and Mid
die Georgia and has not come in con-
tact with this class, it is because they
do not go to school and because she
is not a close observer. I wrote that
piece in no spirit of unkindness to-
ward these people, but in the hope
that in some way attention might be
lawn to them and that they might
be helped.

but how can we ever serve then I'M
less they come to school? She says,
also, What would our schools do
with out them?" Our schools do do
without them, except about two or
three days out of the week for about
kehree months Of the year.
Mrs X says that not all of them
are lazy and shfftless by a big MAORI
ty. All of those that I have in mind
are They are lazy or shiftless, one
or the other-usually both. When
man hustles and manages well and
tries to improve himself, his family
and his surroundings he soon GETS
out Of tits class. Tbev ave about
as good chance to make something
under the half-crop system as the
landowner has, for they are at no ex-
pense for taxes, repairs, improve
ments, tools, machinery and stock.
I did not say that they are ''infe-
riOr to the negroes" I said that in
some respects they are less desirable
as tenants than negroes The fact
that within them are possibilities so
far superior to the negro makes their
condition all the more pathetic. If
I had no faith in them | should not
care anything about their condition
or bother myself any way about it.
l am not afraid that any of those
to whom I refer will read what said
about them with ''flashing eyes and
scOrnful, curling lips" I wish they
could and would, there would be
more hope for them then.
Certainly I have no inclination to
''beIittle" these people. | should be
very glad to give them a lift if
