Syndicate Writer Talks.

THE Man With the Hoe" describing
peasant life in Holland, Germany and
Italy. Mrs. Walker did" these coun-
tries for a newspaper syndicate, pay

She dwelt on the influence of the
emigration of Italians to America, say
ing that it has improved the over
crowded condition of the old country,
making labor better paid on account
of the scarcity of help, and giving those
who remained behind a better show in
other ways.
She also said that the peasantry of
northern Holland, where the land was
rich, were prosperous but those of the
southern and central portions were ex-
tremely- poor and unprogressive.

Weigh Yourself Before Using

Weigh yourself before commencing
to use Samose, the great fiesh-forming
food. The wonderful sale on this
preparation since first introduced in
Topeka and the remarkable results
following its use have made Geo. w
Stansfield such an enthusiastic believer
in the great value of Samose that he
gives his personal guarantee to refund
the money if Samose will not make
thin people fat and restore strength
and health to those who use it.
This is a strong guarantee, but Geo.
w. Stansfield has seen so many of his
customers who a few weeks ago looked
like walking skeletons become plump
and well, solely through the use of
Samose that he feels he can not say
too much to induce people to try it.
This marvellous fiesh-forming food
is assimilated as soon as it is taken into
the stomach, makes good rich blood,

lowed the vote in the state and ma

These remarks were made bv Mrs.
Alma V. Lafferty. the woman Iegis-
lator of Colorado, at the Chautauqua
in Garfield park Tuesday afternoon.
Her assertion was backed by the small
ness of the number of the women pres
ent. Perhaps on account of the lack
of interest or because of the heat not
a large number were present.
You have no idea of the advan-
tages our equal suffrage gives US" con-
tinued Mrs Lafferty. 1--WE have a
comradeship with the men that is
grand-working together in all of the
important measures.
Women were given the ballot in
Colorado in 1898. One of the first
things we did was to have the party

Mr.. Hughes Laments His Death.

Representative Hughes spoke of
Judge Griggs' attractive personality,
and the strong qualities which made
him a valued friend and a worthy
representative. He said:
During his entire life he was
ever devoted to duty, and was an I'M
firing worker His fairness as a
prosecutor W2s of such a quality that
a prisoner could find no better friend
than he, if innocent, and no worse
enemy, if guilty. He stood for a
strict enforcement of the law, and a
fair administration of justice.
He was essentially a big man,
and not given to the ways of a mar
row mind. He could at once grasp
the great national problems that
come so constantly before this body.
and exercise mastery skill in his
treatment of them.
His high place in the councils of
his party and his universal popular
ity in the house made it possible for
him to accomplish great good for his
state and district, as well as render
valuable service to the nation.
Il never saw him in any mood ex-
cept the happiest, and his good hui
NOR seemed always present He
possessed the three qualifications
which are necessary to a perfect
friendship-charity, gratitude, and
mental power equal to any emer-
gency. And this was the Jim Griggs
that | knew SO we'll; the kind, big
hearted, brainy Jim, who was ever
ready to do kindness and always
anxious to return favor.
In his death the nation has lost
an able officer, his state and district
an earnest advocate, and his family.

husband and noble father"

ELOQUENT TRIBUTES PAID TO JUDGE GRIGGS

NO truer friends or more loyal
hearts or more sincere mourners
ever gathered around the bier of a
departed one to sing the last songs
and to utter the last prayers than
/ assembled in the church at Dawson
on the It'll day of last January tC
: pay the last tribute of love to al
that was mortal of dear Jim Griggs
They were his neighbors, and they
knew and loved him. They were his
real friends, the ones who had aided
and encouraged and ever pushed him
upward and upward. His success
was their success, and his triumph
was their triumph. They were proud
of his achievements, but it was a
pride born of love, for his heart was
theirs and their hearts were his.
They loved the man, and they
mourned his death.
Grief and sorrow were every
where, and we'll might they be, for
there had been stricken down in the
zenith of his power and usefulness
a distinguished citizen and trusted
and tried friend.
Fortune, nor family, nor infu-
ence gave him the proud position
that was his, but he claimed and won
it through sheer force of ability and
unwearying energy The great dis
lance that lay between his humble
start and the goal he finally reached
would have dismayed a less stout
heart, but failure formed no part of
the programme he mapped out for
himself. Few men have ever had a
place in this chamber who enjoyed
to greater degree than he did the
the friendship and the
personal interest of the entire men,
bership.
From that day during his first
term when he arose in the house to-
protest against the frequency with
which the south was being received
back into the union, protesting that
one time was enough and chat the
south was in the union to stay and
as loyal as any other section, his
in the house was secure.
In that same speech he gave a fleet
ing glimpse of the humor that was
ever in him when he defined The
Mason and Dixon line as the line
hot bread from cold.
His long and arduous service
here on the postoffice and post roads
will ever mark the fidelity
with which he worked. The rural
delivery of the mails enlisted from
the start his active support, and he
lived to see during his stay here the
for this service grow
from forty thousand dollars per year
to almost as many million dollars
per year.
His partisanship, however, was

PROHIBITION LAW DEFENDED
An "Optimist" Discusses Its Nom
Enforcement, and Believes 1t
Will Yet Be Effective.


Editor of The Dawsn News: The
Sasser correspondent, through the
columns of your paper, has mora
than once rather sneeringly alluded
to what he is pleased to term "the
working Of the prohibition law in
Terrell county," calling attention of
prohibitionists to the fact that me-
groes have been seen in that village
with numerous bottles of whiskey.
This information is neither new or
startling; in fact, it seems to be pref
ty generally known that the law is
frequently violated; but prohibition
lists are not much concerned about
few negroes being caught with
the goods" That is a small matter,
and could be easily settled. The col
ored brother has a wholesome fear
of law when he is right sure that
officers with backbone are on the
war path. The real problem per-
picking the citizens of our splendid
county who love law and order is
how to reach white men who stand
between the law and negro violators.
Those who have studied the situa-
ton tell us that there is where the
trouble lies.
1t seems to be the idea of the
Sasser correspondent that the in
stances of lawlessness to which he
cites the public furnish strong argu-
ment against the prohibition law.
In my humble opinion this is not
sound reasoning. If the prohibition
law was the only one being violated
the situation would not be so de-
plorable, but we have only to recall
the sad tragedy of a few weeks ago
to realize that even that old, old law
that says Thou shalt not kill" is
disregarded. The lonely grave in our
cemetery shuts away from sight the
unfortunate victim who bore in ST.
lence the scorn of the world that her
companions in sin were too coward
ly to share. The mute lips keen we'll

through the darkness to the love and
forgiveness of mothers arms who
cared, and when the fatal bullet was
sent crashing through her bewilder-
ed brain who in this christian COM
munity had time to bother with the
matter?
Somewhere under Gods blue skv
a murderer walks-a free man be-
cause it was easy for him to slim
through the fingers of the sworn
ofhcers of the law. Is there any fault
to be found with the law against
murder, and would we have it re-
pealed because of this fragrant vio-
lation? There can be but one an
swer from sane people. Yet because
the comparatively new law against
the sale of alcohol is sometimes VIC
lated there are those in our county
who cry out: Away with it,"
1t is easy to believe the statement
of a noted Georgian who declared
that the brewers have men hired to
stand on street corners and bring to
pear every argument to discredit the
prohibition law. We do not know
that any in Terrell county are draw
ing salaries for this manly(?) en-
ployment, but we do know that some
of our citizens are working overtime
along this line
Not the repeal of any law made
for the protection of society, but
rigid enforcement is the crying need
in this good county. One of these
days our people will demand it. and
we shall be known far and wide AS
IaW-ab1ding people. Speed the day.
