Debt-Bewarc of 1t.

Young man, you that are about en-
barking in life on your own account,
as you value your hopes of success,
let not the burden of debt ever rest
on you with its blighting curse. Re-
solve though you possess but little
it shall be yours, untrammeled and
free. That no man shall hold a mort
gage over your title, and that no
scheming money lender shall have the
chance to step in and take advantage
of your hard earnings. If you can't
pay for what you want, better go
without it until you can. Countenance
the contracting of no debts except in
cases OF sickness OF other unavoid-
able causes. A little self denial at the
start often lays the foundation for a
period of prosperity and affluence in
after life. Live within your means
and grow up as your means increase.
Break free from the old ruts with
their calling chains, and institute a
new departure. Turn your plow into
the old field and root out the last
vestagc of the detestable weed that
has SO long been encroaching upon
true progress. by this We do not
mean that YOU should be covetous.
niggardly, for this, too, is a vice euu-
ally to be Stunned, as we may, with
the editors permission, have occasion
to speak of it in some future number
OF these papers; but that you may
walk up the journey Of life without
the crushing burden of debt to drag
YOU down and darken your pathway.
that you may peacefully enjoy the
fruits of your labors, and that your
chances of ultimate success may be
brighter, and freer from risk.-Cal-

Cairo, Egypt, Aug. 31.-For being
too accurate a prophet, Sheilkh Nah
moud, an Egyptian astrologcr, has
lost his appeal to the English Govern
ment against the suppression Of his
review, Tawaleh lie Malouk.
Mahmoud guessed right" in so
many of his prophecies, which were
mostly Of killings and deaths. that
the local authorities became afraid
that his predictions would encourage
the natives to make the astrologer's
words good, so they suppressed Ia
waleh lie Malouk.
Among Mahmouds forecasting
achievements We're the month of King
Edwards death and the assassina-
ton of Premier BOutros Pasha and
the appointment of Said Pasha in his
place. Now he predicts that the Khe-
dive will die soon; that the Egyptian
Nationalists will murder some one of
prominence shortly; that King George
of Greece will annex three Moslem
cities before long, and that Sir Eldon
Gorst will be made a peer before

litically today, when he was nomi-
mated for Governor Of Georgia and
endorsed for the Presidency of the
United States in 1912, by the State
Democratic Convention here. He
was nominated for Governor with 233
votes, against IS for Joseph NJ.
Brown, the present Governor, the
balloting being under the county unit
system. The resolution endorsing
Mr.. Smith for the Presidency was
adopted unanimously.
Some disorder attended the pre-
sentation Of Governor Browns name
as a candidate for the Gubernatorial
Haralson County, who made the
nominating speech, was three times
stopped by jubilant Smith shouters
finally leaving the floor. Smith lead
ers made one last appeal to their men
to be quiet and Griffith vas brought
back to resume his speech He then
announced that he had given the only
copy of it to a newspaper man, and
could not finish. Enough of the
speech already had been made, how
ever, to place the Governors name in
nomination.
The platform, which was unani-
mously adopted, denounced and con-
demned the Payne Aldrich tariff law,
together with the Republican Admin
istratiOn, for it's complete breach Of
faith with the American people,"
The platform declares the Repub-
lcan Administration revised the tariff
upward instead of downward as prom
ised, and increased burdens were i'm
posed. In part the platfrom declares:
80 monstrous a fraud has been
practiced on the American people
that no further demonstration is
needed Of the fact that the Republi-
| can party can never be trusted to
give relief from tariff burdens"
The disfranchisement Of the ig-
norant and purchasable vote is en-
dorsed and one plank urges the same
protection. for foreign and domestic
corporations as is accorded the in
dividual A law prohibiting lobby
ing and the elimination of corpor-
atiOns from politics is strongly urged.
| A complete revision Of rates to and
from the ports is endorsed and the
platform unqualifedly declares thar
the State. with an extensive ocean
front, with four excellent ports
should receive the benefit of such a
situation. and declares that the "arhi-
| trary and excessive rates now exacted
by the carriers are unjust and de-
prive the people of Georgia Of their
| natural advantages"
The State railroad commission is
| called upon to effect a revision on a
just basis.
