with malice, not with the desire to in
jure feelings, but prompted by the
purpose Of directing attention to err
rors and pointing out dangers and
seeking to stimulate to new energies
along right lines.
Our whole attitude here on this
cotton mill proposition has been
wrong. 1t has never been taken hold
of in the right spirit. There has been
little flaming up of enthusiasm, and
then sudden cooling off, with the as
sertion that the capital cannot be
raised when, as a matter of fact, no
real determined effort has been made
in that direction. There is too much
faltering before the game has started
too much of feeling that the effort
will be fruitless before the effort has
been made. That spirit must be
scotched and killed before Americas
can hope to take its right position in
the world of industry, before it can be
truthfully said of it that it has made
the most of its God given opportun-
tiles. AS it is it reminds one very
much of that servant who went out
and hid his talent in the ground

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inffamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inf1am-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inf1am-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.

A TOWN THAT REALLY DOES
THINGS.

AT CoVington, where the people
started out to organize a 100000 cot
ton mill, the subscriptions came in so
readily that it was decided to have the
capital stock of the new corporation
$150.000 instead, and before long the
first brick will be laid for a building
where cotton blankets will be made on
large scale"
This is a current news item going
the rounds of the press. 1t is a cap
ital advertising for the little Georgia
city whose enterprise and wide-awak-
edness 1t abundantly testifies Wher-
ever it is printed it carries the news
of a people who are on the alert and
quick to avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to develop their city Every
body by whom it is read feels thrill
of interest in Coyington, finds a desire
awakened in him to visit town that
has the get up to do big things with
out making much furore over them I'M
til they are accomplished. Covington
is decidedly on the map when such
news items as this are going the
rounds about it.
Covington is a small city compared
with Americas. 1t is safe to say Its
aggregate wealth is small compared
with that of this city The number Of
its citizens having large means is
more limited than in Amerfcus Ithas
no greater opportunities as a cotton
manufacturing point than Americas
has and it has no reason to believe It
will achieve success in an industrial
way than this city has. But there is
this difference. Covington is a town
that is doing things. Shall we say it,
We hesitate to do so and yet we feel
that the blunt truth may serve 70
make us bestir ourselves. Americas is
a place that is not doing things in the
| industrial way.
1t is true we have done lot of talk
ing. 1t is doubtful if there has been
| more cotton mill talk in any city in
Georgia than there has been in Ameri-
| Gus in the past year or two. But talk
doesn't build factories, no matter how
essential it may be to awaken the pre-
liminary interest But after the talk
there has been a dearth of action. We
| certainly are not in position to sing
with Tennyson, Words, idle words, 7

tainly do know what they mean so far
as cotton mill is concerned
Covington, little Covington, not N
our class in any was as city, but out
chasing us in grit and determination,
started out to raise 100000 and
speedily raised half as much again.
Americas started out to raise $150,000
for half million dollar mill, three or
four together subscribed $4,000, and
| then the whole movement came to
sudden stop and nothing has since
been done. Which city, under these
circumstances, is apt to impress the
public most as the home of enterprise,
as having citizenry that puts it's
shoulders to the work and pushes it
on to a successful end, without look
ing backward and without cessation of
effort.

ONE DOG NOT HALF ENOUGH.

1t is not considered correct at pres
ent to walk abroad with one toy ter
rier tagging at ones heels or one
mop-haired poodle under ones arm.
Two dogs are the thing. Anybody
may own one dog, but only the priv
ileged may have two pets matching
precisely in breed and coloring. So
now one dog is considered common,
and none of the elite ever venture out
with jolly little canine companion
frisking about. There must be two
pets, and if the cunning brace of
doggies cannot trot sedately together
in the proper fashion, a short strap
between their collars holds them just
the correct distance apart. OF course
the two dogs must be as nearly alike
as possible. Fox terriers or bull ter
riers are the favorites but many pairs
of Scotch collies are seen in the soft
golden sable colorings, and sometimes
even the slender-limbed greyhounds
are seen gravely following smartly
dressed mistress on Fifth avenue.

Spokane, Jan. 26.-Spokane and the
district tributary to it will rival Pitts
burg in few years If 1t continues to

by local newspaper there are 30
residents with $1,OO0,000 or more to
their credit; as are rated In the $780,,
600 class and 100 are placed in the
$3.50, 900 classification. There are also
more than 800 in the 100000 column.
Most of this wealth was produced in
the mines, forests and wheat belts in
northern Idaho, eastern Washington
and southeastern British Columbia.
Others amassed fortunes in real estate
speculations and, commercial, finan-
cial and industrial enterprises. Scores
OF fortunes have been dug out of the
hills in the Occur d'Alenes, sometimes
referred to as the millionaire fac

FATE AND ACCIDENTS
FAIL TO STOP WEDDING

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Battling bravely
against an adverse fate which seemed
determined to prevent her marriage,
Miss Isbelle SpartZ of Kenosha county,
Wisconsin, has finally triumphed and
Is now Mrs. Philip Neu. The couple
was to have been married a week ago
yesterday, but while making arrange
ments for the marriage Mr.. Neu was
injured by runaway horse. When
he regained consciousness, after five
hours, he found two of his ribs were
broken. When he recovered sufficiently
to go to the church wedding he drove
over to the home of Miss Spartz. AS
Miss Spartz got into the carriage he
said: do you think the wedding will
be go this time, or are you going to
have another runaway accident?"
Neu, still suffering from his injured
ribs, assured her he was determined
to be married If he had to walk to the
church or be carried on stretcher.
Half an hour later the horse SHE'D and
upset the carriage, throwing the couple
into a ditch. Fortunately neither of
them was seriously injured. Leaving
the runaway animal to demolish the
buggy they walked to the church.

INSECTS EXPENSIVE
TO UNITED STATES

During the year just passed the in
sects of the country cost the farmers
more money than the nation expended
on its army and navy in paying all

roll, and in all expenditures on the
Panama canal. c. l.. Bartlett, assis-
tant entomologist in charge of the ex-
perimental field work, has worked out
the above statement; and as the value
Of the crop of the past season approx
imated $S,000,000,0o0, he estimates raw
ages of the myriad insects at about
$500, 100000. This sum does not include
the loss to cereals and forage crops
in storage, nor to natural forests and
forest products; the losses from these
two sources. at $l00,000,000 each. bring
ing the annual rural insect tax to an
even s1,00O.O0o.ooO.
In his statement, Mr.. Bartlett says:
This estimate is based on the farm
price of the crop actually harvested,
and does not take into account the
possible reduction value which would
follow the marketing of the larger
crop. Prices of products must, there
fore. be considered when estimating
the losses by insects.-February Van

USE OF CHILD LABOR
REGULATED
LEGISLATION WILL BE URGED IN
EVERY STATE TO PROTECT
THE LITTLE FOLKS.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Enforcement of
laws, present and proposed, against
the use of child labor will be greatly
aided by the discovery made public
during the session of the child labor
committee in Chicago, of method of
determining age by means of Roent-
gen ray examinations of the bones of
the wrist. Legislation is going to be
asked in every state where needed
trustworthy information about en-
ployes' ages cannot now be obtained.
The discovery was made by DR..
Thomas Morgan Rotch of Harvard
university-which institution, by the
way, soon will take new rank in the
forefront of technical education as re-
suit of recent millions left by an
alumnus. The greatest difficulty in
the enforcement of the child labor
laws, particularly in the south, has
been the deception practiced by chill
dren and their parents as to their age
in many cases the family need being
so urgent. because of the low wage
scale paid the Others that they added
the wages Of children not of legal age.
DR.. Rotch explained his Roentgen ray
method and its results and it was
seized upon by the committee as just

tion. It's use, therefore, will be recon-
| mended. The committee is sponsor

RATS PROVE COSTLY
TO UNCLE SAM
RODENTS DESTROY PROPERTY
IN THE COUNTRY WORTH
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Common house rats in Washington
and Baltimore cost merchants and
householders about 81 100, 900 last year.
according to federal biologists VINO
spent many months in tracing the
depredations of the rodents. Merely
in the cities of the United States of
over 100, 900 population, rats ate or de-
stroyed property worth fully $2O,O00,-
900 last year. These figures We're
based on the result of hundreds of
householders and merchants inter-
viewed, scores of premises inspected
and thousands of letters sent out and
answers received. The loss to WASH
ington was 100000. and to Baltimore
100000, thus proving a per capita loss
of s1.25 a year. estimating Washing
tons population at 900 and Balti-
more's at $4,000.
If the figured percentage holds good
throughout the country, the estimated
$40, 10000 of the federal scientists falls
far below the actual figures, for New
York alone would be forced to pay an
annual rat tax of $5,000,000; Chicago,
49, 100000; Philadelphia, $2,250000, and
Boston, ST. Louis, Pittsburg, Cleve-
land, Detroit San Francisco, Buffalo
and Cincinnati at least 100000
more.
In the hundreds of smaller cities
| and towns, where less brick, stone
and concrete is used in construction
than in the great cities named, the
percentage of loss must be fully as
