WORKING THE NEWSPAPERS.

Gov. Woodrow Wilson's campaign
bureau has got the habit, and is
beating" the weekly newspapers for
free advertising. The News, in the
last few days, has received letters
from two plate concerns stating that
they had been authorized to ship us
free plate matter boosting the can
didacy of the New Jersey executive
for the democratic nomination for
president. All of which is very nice
and remunerative for the plate
houses, and gives Governor Wilson
thousands of dollars of free advertis-
ing at the expense of the country
newspapers. The News very prompt
ly declined both offers, but there are
many of our contemporaries, we are
sorry to say, who will jump at the
chance to give away their space and
valuable publicity, which are their
stock in trade, to an ambitious poll
tician

A GOOD THING NOT TO DO.

Gossip, if nursed in ever so small
a degree, eats its way in and shortly
becomes one of the incurable dis
eases. But unlike most diseases it
is painless. 1t is one of the arts
that require very little practice in
order to attain perfection. Every
one can be a gossip, and not half try.
OF course it has it's advantages. Like
Josh Billings tight boots, it makes
one forget his other troubles.
But there is another side to it.
While it may bring pleasure and rec
reation to the gossipper how about
the gossippee-the gossippee is the
one who suffers.
1t is said that poets are born and
not made; that whenever a poet is
made he is spoiled in the making.
This may be true of the poet, but
not of the gossip. No gossip was
ever spoiled in the making. Wheth-
er born or made he Immediately be-
comes efficient, and goes on his way
rejoicing. There may be botch work
in other things, but the gossipper is
invariably perfect.
Gossip is put down as idle talk.
This is erroneous, Gossip is never
idle. 1t is one of the busiest things
out. 1t starts early in the morning
and puts in long day, and greater
part of the evening. Sometimes it
sits up nights looking for something
to do.
If you are a gossipper swear off.
The world will be better for it.

Congressman Roddenbery has in
troduced a bill to prohibit gambling
in cotton futures, and proposes to
make it unlawful for any person,
association or corporation to send or
cause to be sent any letter, telegram,
or message offering to make or enter
into an agreement or contract for the
purchase or sale for future delivery
of cotton without intending that such
cotton shall be actually delivered or
received. The penalty is fixed at from
$500 to $4,000.

FIX COUNTY REPRESENTATION.

Governor Smith is preparing to
transmit to the general assembly
message calling attention to the con-
stitutional provision for the reap
portionment of legislative representa-
ton in the several counties.
The re-apportionment of the state
will be a very simple matter, as rep
resentation is arbitrarily fixed by the
constitution. 1t provides that the six
largest counties in the state, in point
of population, shall each be entitled
to three representative in the assem-
bly,; that the next twenty-six coun-
ties, in point of poulation, shall have
two representatives, and that the 9TH
ers shall have one representative.
The certified copies of the census
report will establish these, and it will
then deyolye upon the general assem-
bly, to pass an act fixing representa-
ton accordingly.
The reapportionment of Georgia
should not be confused with the mat
ter of redistricting the state for con-
gressional representation. The leg
islature will be unable to touch this
involved and complicated question
until the United States senate shall
have adopted the e-apportionment
bill that has already passed the ma
tional house.
Under the terms of that bill Geor-
gia will get an additional representa-
tive in congress, and the legislature
will have to redistrict the state to
make provision for a twelfth district
This may or may not be done at this
session of the legislature, depending
upon the action of the United States
senate,

A HORRIBLE EVIL.

That Americans generally are the
greatest drug fiends in the world, and
that they have carried their passion
for dope" to the point where not
even their children may be saved
from the hereditary faint, is the dec
laration that comes from DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief chemist of the United
States Department of Agriculture
Dr. Wiley says:
1T is true that some other coun-
tries consume more of certain
drugs, as absinthe in France, to-
baccO in Turkey, beer in Germany,
and vodhka in Russia. But there
the habit is a national habit, and
isn't mixed with any other, while
over here Americans are rapidly
coming to put more all round nox-
ious poisons in their systems than
any generation can stand.
1T isn't only the beer and the
whiskey and the tobacco here, but
it's the cocaine and the opium,
both of which are being obtained
in enormous quantities throughout
the land.
THE soda water craze has serv-
ed to make more than one boy and
girl dope fiends with the lure of
the drugs that the makers put into
a presumably harmless drink"
And Dr. Wiley not even excludes
the hypodermic needle of the physi-
clan, which he with truth says has
made thousands of drug fiends under
the pretense of assuaging pain.
Il would rather let the patient
suffer, if he can get well, than take
the chance of that insidiOus syr-
inge with it's morphine solution
that will lay up a temptation for
more and more to follow him
throughout his life. Where pa
tients cannot get we'll I presume
that the limited use of pain-killing
drugs is really desirable, but we
will live to see the day when
the physicians hypodermic syringe
will be regarded with the same dis
favor that the courts now regard
a concealed pistol"
DR.. Wiley declares that the remedy
lies in the awakening of this genera
ton to its own plight, and the special
instruction of children in the ''horri-
BILE results of the numerous habits.

a BUM NOTE.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
A dog sat out in the midnight chill
and howled at the beaming moon;
his knowledge of music was strictly
nil and his voice was out of tune.
And he howled and howled as the
hours went by, while lodging the
bricks we threw, till the moon was
low in the western sky and his voice
was split in two. And there wasn't
a thing at which to howl, over which
pup should weep, and the course
of the dog was wrong and foul, for
the people were wild to sleep. There
are plenty of men like that blamed
fool hound, who yell when there's
nothing wrong, disturbing the coun-
try with senseless sound-the pessi-
mist's doleful song.

One legislator wants to modify the
dog tax law so that each citizen
would be allowed one dog free of
taxation. This law ought to be re-
paaled in it's entirety. The taxing of
domestic pets of any kind has never
appealed to us. Really, there are
some things on which the tax gath
erer should not be allowed to lay his
greedy hands.

Bell OF Dawson no doubt has won the
admiration of the suffering public in
many towns throughout the state.

and at least lend some effort towards
the suppression of reckless speeding,
which offense nearly always leopard

The funeral of General Clement
A. Evans, who recently answered to
roll call on the other side and is now
with the heroic dead over there, was
one of the most notable ever held in
Georgia, though simple and unosten-
tatious. General Evans was a gallant
and a good man, a soldier and a
christian, citizen whose example is
well worthy of emulation. In private
life he was as gentle and lovabIe as a
woman, and all in all an admirable
man, a splendid type of the Old
South. After a long and useful life
he rests well, and Georgia and the
South will revere his memory and
cherish it.

ATHLETICS AT HIGH SCHOOL.
Boys Practise Hard for Coming State
Field Day Contest for High Schools.

The boys at the high school have
commenced practising the various
kinds Of athletics that will come in
for their share Of trial at the State
Field Day meet for high schools
which will come off sometime in
May.
Several Of the boys are trying hard
at the shot put while others are
practicing running the hurdles. The
mile race and the short distance
dashes are also coming in for their
share Of practise, as well as are the
hammer throw and the high Jump.
All of the boys have become enthused
In the practise and they are doing all
in their power TO make a fine showing
at the meet.
Last year the boys lfrom the high
school came out second in the State
meet and this year they want to make
even q better record than they did
last year.
Another featrue Of athletics that
has come in for its share of work
lately is racing. A track team has
been organized with a large number
OF members and is doing steady prac-
tise. Harold McFadden has been
elected captain of the track team and
Irvine Richardson assistant CAPTAIN.
The boys have been doing part of
their practise at recess but most Of
1t has been done in the tern
when all the boys of the graduating
class assemble at the high school to
practise their oretions under the SUI
pervision of superintendent Edmunds.
Only three or four boys are allowed
to practise at one time and the others
use the time spent in waiting in prac-
tising the various athletics.
The boys are hard at work upon
their orations and owing to the large
number Of graduates this year
there are thirty-one members Of the
graduating class at the boys high
school-Professor Edmunds has q
very busy time in the afternoons
training them to the delivery Of their
declamations.

eyes, which revealed a vision Of an
gels, chariots and horses, with the ap-
pearance Of fire.
The lesson to us is that whoever are
Gods servants, and wherever they
may be, Divine power, like a mighty
army, surrounds them. Modern inven-
dcns and discoveries are more and
more revealing to US secrets Of nature
and limiting at far more beyond. Who
ever has knowledge of wireless teleg-
raphy, X-rays, radium, ETC., can readi-
ly believe that the Almighty God may
have thousands of agencies and pow
ers invisible to men whereby he can
work all things according as he pleases.
"The Angel Of the Lord Encampeth
Round About Them That Fear Him
and DeIivereth Them"
Angels are beings of grade little
higher than man-beings with spirit
bodies instead of flesh bodies. "Thou
madest man a little lower than the
angels" The Scriptures declare that
the angels are sent forth to minister
to or serve all those who are heirs Of
salvation. They encamp around about
Gods servants in the sense that Di-
vine agency and power are every
where and ready at any instant to be
exercised as much as need be for the
accomplishment Of Gods will. The
same God who willed that Elijah
should flee before Jezebel arranged
that Elisha should be specially pro-
tected. But we are to remember that
only those who are in covenant rela-
tionship with God are under this spe-
cial watch-care and protection.
We are to remember also that there
are fallen angels, called wicked
Spirits" and that these are on the
alert to entrap and ensnare humanity
through spirit mediums, spirit rap
pings, tippings, clairvoyants, ouija-
boards, etc. Gods people are warned
against these, and they In turn should
warn the world of the great danger
resulting from any association with
these fallen angels, who misrepresent
themselves to be our dead friends.
Many are being misled by these evil
spirits. They have introduced various
false doctrines and continually seek
to entrap the human will and, II pos
sible, to gain control over it-through
obsessiOn. Curiosity Is one Of the main
bats to the hook OF spiritism.
Spiritists, including mediums, are
being deceived. They think that they
converse with the dead. They will In
deed acknowledge that there are wick
Cd spirits" Lying spirits" as the Bible
says; but they do not acknowledge
that they are all wicked. The fact is
that they have only partially realized
the depth Of Satan's power and deceit.
Comparatively Few Have Yet Learned
of Gods Love
Only Gods cOnsecrated people have
yet learned Of his love, and they very
,n perfectly. The tactics of Satan and
his demon hosts for centuries has been
to blind the whole world and, as much
as possible, Gods people respecting his
true character. BY misrepresentation
Of the Scriptures and some interpola.
tions and some mistranslationS they
have succeeded to wonderful degree
