death the community loses one of it's
best and most respected citizens and
the church one Of its most faithful
servants. Honest and industrious he
was well rewarded with this worlds

dairyman he did much to assist in the
development of that industry in this
vicinity, generous and hospitable his
comfortable and commodious home
was always an open house, as was
evidenced by the great number of
friends entertained there including so
many from the eastern states and
Europe.

10 o'clock by Rev. S. Riggenbach, of

his wife arrived on the same mission

Verton cemetery, attended by a large
concourse of relatives and friends in
cluding about 40 of the brethren from
the East Portland church who fur
nished the music for the occasion. w.

love MIN, always cheerful, kind and
courteous, obliging and ever-ready to
help where help was needed, a kind
and indulgent husband and father, an
honest, upright and philosophical
citizen, devout and consistent Chris

During the same period the rate in

in Delaware 43.
Interesting figures showing the in
crease in the number of the divorces
granted each year from 1867 to 1906
nave been compiled by Prof. William
II. Bailey of Yale University. On
1851 he says in the Independent,
there were 9,937 divorces and in
1906 72,062. During the 40 years
covered about 100000 divorces
were granted.
Although it must be borne in
mind that the population of the
country has also increased remarka-

IL divorce
In 1870 there were 28 divorces
per 1000 population, while in 1900
there were 70. Perhaps a more ac-
curate unit of measurement could be
obtained by substituting married
population for total population. On
this basis the number of divorces per
100000 married population in 1870
was 81 and in 1900 was 200"

ACTUAL STARVATION.
Facts About Indigestion and Its Re-
lief That Should Interest You.

Although indigestion and dyspep-
sla are so prevalent most people do
not thoroughly understand their
cause and cure. There is no reason
why most people should not eat any
I4lng they desire-if they will only
cheW 1t carefully and thoroughly.
Many actually starve themselves into
sickness through fear of eating every
good-Iooking, good-smelling and
good-tasting food, because it does
not agree with them.
The best thing to do is to fit your
self to digest any good food.

AMOUNT OF MONEY HE LOST
SENATOR SMITH WAS NOT ENTI-
tiled TO $4,000, AS REPORTED.

Only $1,000, That Being Differ
ence in Salaries of Two Jobs.
ATLANTA.-'He (the governor)
shall receive salary of $4,000 per
annum-it has since been made S.
600 per annum- (until otherwise
provided by a law passed by a two
thirds vote of both branches of the
general assembly, which shall not be
decreased or diminished during the
period for which he shall have been
elected; nor shall he receive within
that time, any other emOlument from
the United States or either of the
states, or from any foreign country. !"
Article ., section /, Constitution Of
Georgia.
So the stories from WASHINGTON
to the effect that Senator Hoke Smith
had magnanimously declined to re-
ceiye about $4,000 from the govern
ment, representing his salary from
the day he was elected United States
senator to the day he was sworn in
as senator, loses a good deal of it's
effectiveness, since this provision of
the constitution gives him no legal
right to the salary through the Pc
Rod named
After his election by the general
assembly as United States senator
Hoke Smith continued to serve as
governor until November is, when
he resigned and issued his own com
mission as United States senator. 1t
would seem clear that the section of
the constitution quoted lays strict
inhibition against him receiving any
salary from any other source while
he held the place of governor.
Some have held that since Senator
Terrell resigned, leaving a vacancy,
precedent entitled Hoke Smith to the
salary from the date of Terrell's res
ignation. However, the state consti-
tuition appears to hold otherwise in
such cases.
1t is estimated that Senator Smith
sacrificed about $1,000 by holding to
the gOvernorship.
