A MOST GLORIOUS FOURTH.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Tuesday was
the greatest 4th of July Georgia has
experienced since the signing of the
hand unseen yet holier than human
guided the words which flowed from
heart pulsated by love and not by
envy was evident in every speech.
When the gray-haired veterans
who had watched you from boy-hood
did you homage, as the middle aged
warriors who battled with you in the
nineties renewed their allegiance to
you and to the cause for which you
have most zealously fought, and
finally when the boys, the future
rulers Of our country, exalted your
name to the skies, | could scarcely
control myself. Some dormant power
became awakened and the eager de-
sire to lay some laurels at victor's
feet almose overcame me.
Had | the power of speech or the
gift of,pen I would add some higher
tribute than any have yet paid you,
bat on Tuesday I wished to speak OF
one far nobler than you. The one
who has moulded your character and
marked your destiny as truly as did
Edna Earle that of st. Elmo.
wanted to tell the visitors Of that
noble, Christian woman who has con-
ferred upon you the highest honor
of all ages; that Of becoming your
wife.
1t is easier to take an insult than
see your friend take one. It is easier
to hit back than in silence forgive.
It is easier under the excitement Oh
the hour to rush into battle than sit
quietly at home viewing the danger
Of your loved ones. Thus the harder
task has fallen upon Mrs. Watson.
When you were unjustly attacked
it was your privilege to vindiCate
yourself. 1t was her trial to in 81
lence forgive. understanding the
fact that she had the hardest task,
her work has been done more per-
fectly than yours. Ever has she been
the balance power. You having stood
unjust criticisms, malicious lyings
and personal prosecutions, it seems,
to the limit Of human endurance,
sometimes flew off the handle, but
ever has Mrs. Watson been calm, and
forgiving. beside her Joan Of Are
is but a lifeless body; compared
with her the glory Of Madam De
Stall is but fallen meteor, while the
star of her woman-hood shines tran
gully in the heavens" | had rather
be the husband of such a woman,
sustained by her loving devotion to
duty and strength of character, than
to wear the yellowest crown that
ever pressed upon the brow of a
king. Yours truly BENZ. F. NEAL.

RESOLUTIONS OF APPRECIATION.

None dispute the fact that prior
to the Civil War was the Golden Age
OF the South. There were many
reasons for this. Among them be-
ing the fact that then every white
man was guardian Of his own public
interest; all were versed in public
affairs; and every man was a patriot
who deemed it privilege and a duty
to see that good men were elected to
Office and that no public servant be-
trayed the interest of the people
after being elected to serve in the
honorable official positions of the
county.
But there came a change. The
Civil War plucked the flower Of our
manhood and left us in the poverty
and the chains of the reconstruction
era with the negro problem to solve
while our hands were tied by a peo-
pie who neither understood the
problem nor sympathized with us in
our distress. The devastation of the
war, and the helpless condition of
our people turned their attention
away from public affairs to the bat
tie for bread. Hence our forefathers
fell heir to a political lethargy and
US verify the servants of the Aristoc-
racy Of America.
But when Gas is the case through
out history)' the chains of our
servitude were the most CALLING.
there appeared on the scene a native
born Georgian whose ear was at
tuned to the plaintive wall Of the
great masses of the people and he
is proving political Moses to lead
us from bondage to a glorious free
dom. And he, as writer, as a
speaker, and from the standpoint of
learning on every question, is the
greatest Georgian, the wisest states
man of the South, or the Union, and
IN the language Of a New York Jour
nal, The smartest man in the
world" Above all the champion of
the poor. Properly called the
Sage of Thomson, Hon. Thos. e.
Watson
Therefore be it resolved:
FIRST. That we, the undersigned
citizens Of Tattnall County, tender
him our sincere appreciation for the
information that he is disseminating
among the people through his Jeffer-
sonian and Magazine. Information
that is reviving the once lost interest
in public affairs.
Second. That we had no idea nor
would any other public man tell us
how that the abominable tariff was
robbing the masses at the great ad-
vantage of the classes
Third. That in his exposure of the
rotten doctrine and history, that of
the Catholic Church, has started a
wave of sentiment that will save us
from the door of the peoples who

Packing Italian Prunes.

Three packing houses started in
full blast this week, the Mckinney,
employing about 60 hands; the
Hedges, 81, and Denney & Co.,
about the same number. Four or
five cars will go out of town each
day, and this means considerable
money will come back into the
community, The way prunes are
selling in Chicago the shippers
should net 5000 a car. The pack
ers are mostly young ladies. and
they are making from 50 to 81 per
day. They receive sc a crate, of 4
small boxes. Some of the young
ladies are experts and the Times
expects to give the names at the
end of the season of the best pack
ers, with the number to their
credit. The first of the apples
will be packed in about three
weeks.

Exhibit and Lecture
on tuberculosis.

DIR. Joseph Dorsey, lecturer fol
the Idaho Young Peoples Asso,
citation for the study and proven.
ton of tuberculosis, will have the
Association exhibit at the Christ
ian church, Friday evening, Sep
temher 18th at 7;l5. Many inter.
esting methods will be used for
instructing the public along the
line of prevention and cure of con-
sumption--the dread white plague.
A world wide crusade against
this disease has been inaugerated
and you can see and hear what is
being done by attending the ex-
hibit and lecture on tho above
date.
tuberculosis kills 100000 or
more people in the United States
every year, and this could all be
prevented but for the lack of
knowledge and the general care.
lessness of the individual.
tuberculosis comes into your
home and You do not know it is
there until it may be too late to
save the life of its victim. Con.
sumption is your enemy in the
dark, and you are helpless in
lighting it if you do not know
how, See the l. Y. P. exhibit and
hear DR., Dorsey's lecture.
Children as well as adults, are
afflicted with tuberculosis, and
should therefore understand it as
we'll as their parents. The know
ledge is simple and can easily be
learned aud memorized. Bring
your children.

short-Weight Butter.

just before Pure Food Inspect
ors Parker and Wallace got
through their round mp of Me.
ridian last Thursday they visited
Il +. Hunts store and finding
some ranch butter that weighed an
ounce short Of the ''Full l6 Ounc-
ca" printed on the wrapper, ar
rested and fined the merchant
S25 90 and costs; the same as they
did the Garrett Mercantile Co,
earlier in the day. While the
Times upholds the worthy efforts
Of the pure food men, we question
very much the justification
for the arrest OF these two mer-.
chants. 1st the butter is sold to
them as a pound by the farmers,
who have butter molds designed
to hold Il pound, and the conten-
ton is made that in the winter
time the butter in one of these
molds does weigh over pound,
and that it is only in the warm
season that it weighs light. I'd.
There has been no information of
any kind given to the farmers that
their molds were too small, and no
notice to the merchants to be on
on the lookout for shortweight
butter. One merchant told the
Times man this week that he WAS
weighing the packages and a ma
jority OF the pounds" were short,
so that ii there is an error, the
majority of the butter makers are
liable. Where a community en-.
cages in business of making
short weight butter, which Merid-
ian is evidently doing, there is
surely a wrong impression as to
what the law requires, and our Of
fcers should see that all are fully
informed through the press or
otherwise, so that thay will not be
lawbreakers, innocent of any
wrong doing.
There is only one way for the
butter makers to do and that is to
cheap up" the measure, when
molding the butter, and even if it
does weigh out several ounces
over, there will be chance for
shrinkage, and the merchant will
be saved the liability of an arrest
and fine.

AttaCt Like Tigers

In fighting to keep the blood pure the
white corpuscles attack disease germs
like tikers. But often germs multiply
so fast the little fighters are overcome.
Then see pimples, boils, eczema, salt
rheum and sores multiply and
strength and appetite fail. This con-
dition demands Electric .Bitters to
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys
and to expel poisons from the blood,
