SOUTH GEORGIA'S PART.
From the Valdosta Times.

From the Valdosta Times.
The coming census is going to
show that the largest portion of the
wealth Of the state is below a line
running through the center of the
state from east to west. It is going
to show also that the center of popu-
lation is also below that line. 1t is
going to show, moreover, that the
growth of the state during the past
two decades has been much swifter
in the section below that line than
in other parts of the state. 1t will
show also that while South Georgia
has gone on, year in and year out,
contributing her full portion of the
material welfare of the state South
Georgia has gotten practically moth
ing in return from the state.
At the last session of the legis-
lature there was an increase in all
Of the appropriations for institutions
located in the upper part Of the state,
but there was not a penny for the
college which was established in Val
dOsta three or four years ago and
which promises, in time to come, to
be one of the greatest institutions in
this country. Every institution in
the state Gall located in the upper
section) were before the legislative
committee begging for increased ap-
preparations, and all of them got
what they wanted. But when it was
suggested that money be given to the
college to be started at Valdosta all
agreed that the treasury conditions
would never permit it.
And the treasury conditions will
never permit of anything but few
crumbs coming to South Georgia I'M
til this section shows in an emphatic
way that we are determined to have
our part. 1t is getting time to have
a division of the state institutions,
with one located conveniently in
South Georgia instead of one large,
unweildy one in the northern portion
of the state. South Georgia puts
enough money in the state treasury
every year to get something besides
fattery and promises in return. But
that will be about all we will ever
get until we make up our minds to
stand flatfooted and pull for the in
terests of our section.

A congressman for the long tern

A congressman for the long term
of two years will be elected this year,
and some of our contemporaries,
among them the Albany Herald,
seem to think that another contest
in the Second district is just ahead.
The News does not share in that be-
lief. We will be very much sur
prised if the nominee of Thursday
primary has opposition in the next
election.

Don't judge man by his clothes.
God made one, and the tailor made
the other. Don't judge a man by his
family, for Cain belonged to a good
family. Don't judge a man by his
failure in life, for many man fails
because he is too honest to succeed.
Don't judge a man by the house he
lives in, for lizard and the rat often
inhabit the grandest structure.
When a man dies they who survive
him ask how much life insurance and
property he has left behind The
good angel who bends over the dying
man asks what good deeds he had
done.

No Enthusiasm.
From the Triton Gazette.

From the IiftOn Gazette.
In yesterdays primary in Tiff
county Mr., Roddenbery polIel 447
votes, compared with 521 two years
ago. Both the other candidates
polled 248, compared with 1874 for
Judge Griggs two years ago. The
result was as forseen by every one
who made a study of the political
situation and did not allow enthu-
siasm to carry them off their bal
ance. Mr. Roddenbery's friends of
two years ago turned out again to
vote for him; those of Judge Griggs
did not feel a working interest in
either of the other candidates.

Ladies, Postage Stamps and Sponges

From the Savannah News.
Col. E. l.. Rainey of The Dawson
News inveighs strongly against the
habit people have of licking postage
stamps. He says it is a mighty bad
habit, and is likely to be followed by
sore mouth and other evil conse-
quences. His conclusion is: ct
takes no more time and it is quite as
easy to moisten the stamp with a
damp sponge or rag" But does the
Colonel carry damp sponge or rag
about with him? If so, in which
pocket? Then again, since women's
frocks these days do not have pock-
cts how are they going to carry
damp sponges or rags about with
them for postage-stamp-m oistening
purposes? 1t wouldn't do to put
them in the dainty little handbags,
because the face powder and the car
amels are carried there.

Realizing the danger of stranger
unacquainted with the tunnel at
tempting to pass through on foot, the
tunnel worker hailed him with the
warning not to attempt to go through
alone, and admonished him to wait
for a tram car.
The stranger paid no attention to
the warning. not even making a re-
ply to the man
Other tunnel employees, who came
up short time afterwards, were sent
toward the river end to guide the
stranger through the dark passage; /;
but, after a diligent search without
avail. it was decided that the stran-
ger had gotten too great a start of
the men and had outdistanced them.
telephone message was sent to riv-
er portal to have a motor car come in
and pick up the man, This was done,
but no trace of the man was to be
found.
The watcher on the muck pile de-
clared that il was absolutely impos-
sible for the man to have gone back
to the west portal end without him
seeing him. The distance between
where the man was seen and the riv-
er end was searched and researched,
but not a single trace of the man
could be found.
The thoughts OF ghosts and spirits
grew as the search proceeded, and
the situation began to take on an ex-
ceedingly uncanny shape, until even
now it is said that some of the mo-
tormen dread to make the trip into
the tunnel alone.
II is hard to account for the mys-
terry. The man who first gave out
the information is emphatic in his
declaration that he surely saw u
stranger in the tunnel on the night

The Venus brings a large cargo on

hundred logs on the steamer. 1t was
a matter of wide remark with the
employees there and with many visi-
tors to the dock yesterday at the
enormous size of many of the logs,
which were hoisted slowly from
decks. 1t takes very few of them to
load a car TO it's safe capacity, and
it was noticed that one car had about
all it could safely hold and get along
with when but two of the larger logs
were placed thereon.

cRESTON CLARK DEAD,
WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA

Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin diseases. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen, thy
mol, glycerine, etc, as compounded
in D. d. D. Prescription.
After ten years of cure after cure,
we ourselves do not hesitate to rec
ommend D. D. D. Prescription at
S100 bottle. But for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we arranged with the D. D.
D. Laboratories of Chicago for spec
ial large trial bottle at 25 cents on a
special offer now. This first % cent
bottle ought to convince every suf-
ferer: perhaps it will affect a COM
plete cure Gas it has in some cases) ::
at any rate, it will surelytalle away
the itch at once. Crystal Pharmacy,
Brent Building.
