LIKES COUNTRY LIFE.

Dear DADDY jim: I read the Cous-
ms letters every time The Jeffer-
sonian comes. | think they are all
fine. [ have written twice, and l saw
both my letters in print. How many
OF. you Cousins like country life? l
do for one. I like country life better
than town life. l think living in the
country is more healthful than in
town. My papa takes The jeff and
Watson's Magazine, and he likes
them fine, and so do I. I like the
P. G. G. very much. I will close by
asking some history questions. 1.
Who did Benz. Franklin marry? 2.
What was the home of Thomas JEFF
ferson? 3. Where is the Mason and
Dixon line, and from whom did it
get it's name? | hope the waste
basket has got it's mouth shut. With
best wishes and much success to Dad
dy Jim and the Cousins, EFFIE CAL

AN INTERESTING LETTER.

Hello, Daddy Jim: Give me space
in the P. G. G. columns to foot my
little horne awhile, VIII you? All
right, thank you. FIRST, l make a
suggestion that we Cousins leave off
criticising Gov. Smith. He may or
may not deserve criticism, but if he
does, let us youngsters leave it for
the older heads to DO. | notice that
one little eleven-year youngster call
ed him rascal and a scoundrel. l
shall not descend to the plane of his
letter for the purpose of answering,
but do so in the spirit that l think
it will help others to understand,
themselves. / am congnizant of the
fact that the Bible says Speak no
evil, one Of another" Hence let us
Cousins be careful about what Ian
guage we use. / further make a
suggestion that we quit bothering
Daddy Jim with the phrase, "How
many of you Cousins like to go to
SCHOOL," That phrase is used in
nearly every letter that Daddy Jim
prints. We all like to go to school,
so let us ask history and Bible Dues
tions, and not bother Daddy Jim
with foolishness. Allie Belle Brooks,
write a good letter, come again; we
are glad to hear from you. Bessie

SECOND ATTEMPT.

Dear Daddy jim: AS saw my

ripe, and l wish some of you Cous-
ms were here to help eat them. They
are certainly fine. How many of you

and l like it very much. My music
teacher, for next term, will be Miss
Edna Bailey. I have not had much
time to write TO Daddy Jim, as my
mother is sick Now 1 asked some of
you Cousins to write to me, and I

think it was from J. E. Sullivan. l
hope he will write to Daddy Jim, so

Dear Daddy jim: I have written

would let another Georgia girl join

jeff, and. he thinks it is the finest pa
per printed How many of you Cous-

in the little town of Minter, and l

FREE If IT FAILS
Your Money Back if You are not Satisfied
with the Medicine We Recommend.

We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic iC may be. that
we offer to furnish the medicine at our
expense should it fail to produce salts
factory results.
1t is worse than useless TO attempt
TO cure constipation with cathartie
drugs. LaXatives or catharties do
much HARM They cause reaction,
irritate. and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more chron-
ic Besides, their use becomes a habit
that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or descending colon. To ex-
pect permanent relief you must there
fore tone up and strengthen these or
gans and restore them to healthier
activity. We want you to try Rexall
Orderlies on our recommendation. They
are exceedingly pleasant to take being
eaten like candy, and are ideal for
children, delicate persons, and old
folks, as we'll as for the robust. They
act directly ON the nerves and muscles
of the bowels They apparently have
d neutral action on other associate
organs OF glands. They do not purge,
cause excessive looseness, or create
any Inconvenience whatever. They may
be taken at any time, day or night.
They will positively relieve chronic or
habitual constipation, if not of surgical
variety, and the myriads of associate
or dependent chronic ailments, ifEtaken
with regularity for a reasonable length
of time. II tablets, 10 cents; &c tab

MAXWELLS WIN
GLIDDEN TOUR

Three Maxwell cars, composing the
Tarrytown, N. Y. team, won the Gid
den tour which ended in Jacksonville,
Fla, recently, defeating seven other
teams of three cars each in the most
strenuous Glidden tour which has ever
been conducted. Driving like mad
over a mere trail, through the Florida
pine forests and under a speed schedule
which was supposed impossible, the
Tarrytown trio made whirlwind finish
and arrived early enough to retain the
only perfect score in the contest.
Only seven of IA teams arrived over
the awful roads which make the So
called National highway, the IL elimi
mated having penalties ranging from
1000 to 5000 points. In the division
competition for the trophy offered by
the city of Anderson, s. c., for the
best individual score, regardless of
price or class, there were several with
tied scores, among whom were Miss
Birdie Marks, of Athens, Ca, who
drove her Silver plated Columbia road
ster the entire 1454 miles, and the
Maxwell car entered by Hoke Smith,
Governor Of Georgia and United States
Senator elect, both these had absolute
perfect scores. At a meeting of tired
competitors a drawing was held and
the Governor won the beautiful Ander-
son trophy. This car was driven by
Arthur Ze, of Tarry town, N. Y, and
the Governor rode in the car almost
the entire distance, inviting the Gov
ernors of other states to be his guests.
The Gldden tour is the National re-
liability contest. The 54 cars which
| formed Is teams included the highest
priced automobiles manufactured in this
country, the average being more than
$1,000. On this account the victory of
the Maxwell team is the more signifi-
cant, because this team is composed of
cars selling for $l280. They bucked
the water breakers of Pennsylvania
pixies, showed great speed running
through the Shenandoah valley. climbed
the rugged trails through the Blue
Ridge Mountains, wallowed through
the onzy red clay of the Carolinas and
Georgia and finally triumphed in dash
through Florida S bottomless sands in
the pine forests between Live Oak and
Jacksonville.
Following is the order of the finish :
Maxwell, first; Stevens, second: Cadil-
lac, third Ford, fourth Cadillac, fifth
Marathon, sixth; Flanders, seventh.
