Our trouble is not that we worry too
much, but rather that we don't worry
abou, the right things. There is too
little worry in some lines in this day
aud age of the world. Many a fellow
is worrying more about the price of
sugar and coffee or wheat and tobacco
more than he is about what sort of
children he is raising up in the world.
Many woman will worry more
about an old settin' hen, whose date
to hatch she has forgotten to put
down in the almanac, than she does
about her daughter who has gone out
to play or party with a fellow who
is known to be immoral.

1t is possible to reform an extreme
ly selfish person, as he may have a
kind heart; the cruel one is subject to
correction, as he fears the pangs of
punishment; the unlettered man may
move in error on account of his ignor-
ance and is to be pitied, but there is
no hope for the hypocrite, who fears
nothing because his inward bsseness
is not suspected; he cannot be reform
ed because his sinfulness is deliber-
ate and under cover; he enjoys his
rascaIity, and seeks aduIation under
false pretenses. You can't touch top,
sides or bottom of him with any kind
of argument.

THE BILL AS ADOPTED
PROTECTS The Buyer
New Fertilizer Bill Passed By
House

Atlanta, August 10.-The fertilizer
bill that the house has been consid-
ering since Friday was adopted by
substitute this morning by vote Ct
1O5 to 10. The substitute was adopt
ed by a vote of ia to Z.
The effect of this substitute is to
make the bill less drastic than it
would have been had it passed the
house in its original form.
The measure as it stands provides
that all bags of fertilizer shall have
tags attached showing an analysis
and that a purchaser Of fertilizer that
is more than per cent. below stand
ard may recover % per cent of the
price he paid.
The substitute was offered by Mr.
Turnipseed, of Clay, and was accept
ed by Mr. Cabaniss, one of the au-
thors of the bill. The original bill
was instroduced by Messrs. Cabaniss
JoyEer and Johnson.

AMERICUS Is STILL THE
CAPITAL OF The THIRD
District Has Same Number OF
Counties

With its boundary lines ever more
zig-zag and crooked than at present,
the Third congressional district, und-
er the proposed apportionment plan,
will contain the same number Of
fifteen-and have a popula-
ton of 5,51O-about the same num-
Der as at present.
And Americas, of course, remains
the capital of the district-a tact that
goes without the saying.
Under the new apportionment, the
Third district loses Houston, Twiggs
Pulaski, Crawford and Wilcox cOua-
ties; while for these are added the
counties of Clay, Quitman, Randolph
Terrell and Turner-all fine counties
and most desirable neighbors.
The cities of Dawson, Cuthbert Ash
burn and Fort Gaines are thus
brought into the Third district, which
is made up OF the following counties
Sumter Clay, Crisp, Dooly, Lee, Ma
con, Quitman. Randolph, Schley,
Stewart, Taylor, Terrell, Ben Hill,
Turner, Webster Population, 2O4.-
SO.
When the job was completed it had
left every congressman in his present
district, with the exception of Con-
gresham Dudley NJ. Hughes, who is
moved over into the newly created
Twelfth, leaving the Third without a
member.
1t might be noticed incidentally that
the county of Sumter is in the Third
as rearranged, and, further, that Col.
Tom Hudson, commissioner OF agri-
culture, lives in Americas, the metrop-
oils of Sumter.
1t may be even further remarked
that Colonel Hudson is known to have
congressional aspirations, and if this
scheme goes through it leaves a Nigh.
ty pretty opening for him.
