Some kiRd friend sent us a copy OF

The stated circulation Of this paper is
2,75i 300. We're IL rs we'll, Ms it Is
boldly, edited, ITS influence would be
a very significant factor IN the forma-
tion of the public opinion of America
One can not read it, however, without
some misgiving as to the correctness
OF its statements and the fairness OF
its opinions, because Of the evident
bias it exhibits. In the issue under
consideration, IL attacks the judges Of
the federal courts without any pre-
tense OF respect, and TO the undisc, imi-
mating reader its attack will seem
justified by the facts il alleges. The
thoughtful reader, on the other hand,
becomes suspicious that the facts are
not fully presented, and he, therefore,
questions the conclusions.
The Chief has no doubt but that the
facts give color TO the charges made.

hess rather than TO the passions and
prejudice Of the people. Mr.. Taft's
defense of the sacred dignity of the
courts should be ruthlessly brushed
aside Mr. Roosevelt's S criticism should
be directed with gatling gun precision

judges elected by the popular vote,
but the federal judges who have been
appointed after consultation with the
high-salaried members Of the bar.
Many of them have been disgrace to
the bench they are incompetent To
adorn, and the cause of righteousness
and justice has been the least consid.
cred element in their adjudications.
Mr. Brysn's suggestion, that the Presi.
dent file with his nominations the
recommendations upon which he bases
them, does not seem to us sufficiently
comprehensive to afford the relief de.

made without recommendations, or
sufficient recommendations could
readily be procured by the nominee

The whole trouble lies in the life ten
ure OF the inferior judges. Congress
should abolish all the inferior courts
which the constitution will permit,
and create new ones with judges whose
shortness OF term would render them
more obedient to the public will and
more considerate of public opinion.

hood. a few years ago the officials
about the court house took little
pains to encourage the disposition of
the squirrels to make their homes in
the trees Of the court house park.
How much genuine and innocent
pleasure their attention gave to the
children Ia the north part Of the city
is difficult Of estimation. Not the
children alone, but most of the adults,
found an added interest in life be-
cause Of the active movements aud
friendly. cheerful manners of the agile
and partially tamed animals.
The cul ivation Of the birds promises
still more pleasure with an element Of
utility added Independent Of the
q. sweet songs and the varied beauty OF
Torn, color and motion the birds will
easily repay the food and care given
them in the destruction Of worms and
insects.
Doubtless a large portion OF the
people OF the city go to and from
their daily tasks without noticing the
songs that thrill the air OF the streets
and the lawns with melody. Many of
these same people will pay money and

Paved Streets

The improvement already commenc-
ed has suggested to us the propriety
OF making still farther improvements.
We are satisfied that the cement plac.
ed for guttering would answer the
purposes Of pavement of the street
itself, The law authorizes the city
council to create a paving district,
against which it may issue bonds pay
able In fifteen years for the cost OF
the paving, assessing the lots improv
ed with the expense. Suppose the
council should create paving district
consisting of two blocks intersected
by Webster street and Fourth avenue.
The pavement could be laid for about
the cost Of the guttering which has
already been laid. That is $50 per
square yard. To the center Of the
street would be, say IA yards; tina,
! would be s2i per linesl yard, or SIT,
per lot OF 25ft. front. This would not
be an expensive amount for each bust
ness lot to pay. They would at once
become that much more valuable
The corner lots, Of course, would have
great deal more to pay. The ad
ditIonal charge to them would bt
about $1,000. But corner lots must eX
pect some edisadvautagesto to compensat
their advantages. In the end tn.
owners of the lots would be fully com
pensated. In addition to the added
value of the lots; the marked improve
ment OF the reefs, the expenditure o
the money, about sixteen Thousand
dollars, the main part would be fol
sand and labor, this would be won

BULLOCK FARMERS IN PLIGHT
Hundreds of Acres Will Not Be Gull
tivated. Much of the Land
Still Covered by Water.

STATESBORO.-'T am sixty-five
years DID," said NJ. K. Bland, Bull
loch county's almanac" and I
have never known the farmers of this
county to be in such state of affairs
as they are at this time. l have just
returned from a trip through the
county of three days, looking for a
horse that got away from me-" said
Mr.. Bland, and there are hundreds
of acres of land that will not be Gull
tivated this year. In some fields that
l know made a bale of cotton to the
acre last year the water is standing
almost to the top of the old stalks,
and it will be impossible to make a
crop on that land this year. l have
never seen the like, and it looks
very gloomy for those farmers in the
territory l visited. Many of the fields
have not had pillow in them, and
planting time is here. In some fields
the water will not dry off even with
favorable weather in time to put in
crop of cotton, and if they do and
the farmers plant cotton there will
be big weed and little fruit. The
farmers in that section will have to
plant corn and crops other than cot
ton this year.

UNDERWOOD AND GOOD PUBLIC ROADS

most Of them, and the once, too,
had their place in the regular, law
governed decent world of men and
women and children. There are
thousands of men of excellent fami-
ly, fine education, admirable talents,
among the tramps. There are young
er sons of great Eng ish houses;
black sheep of influential American
families; there are masters of arts
and bachelors of laws and graduates
Of many a famous university in that
devil-may-care line of wandering
tatterdemalions which stretches
along the roGds of the United States.
There is something about tlamp-
ing which lulls mems better instincts
as with an opiate. When the man
who takes up tramping finds that it
is comparatively easy to support ex-
isctence without working; when he
tastes the pleasures of utter freedom,
absolute responsibility, that man,
as a rule, is ruined. "Once a tramp,
always a tramp" Timlin said, and
the tramp who once has sampled
tramping is in the grip of that which
is as relentless as opium.

POISONS WE EAT EVERY DAY
Violent Irritants in Almost Every
Article of Food in These Times
of Complex Feeding.


of Complex Feeding.
Taken in large quantities common
salt is violent irritant, setting up
severe Inflammation of the stomach
and killing as sure as arsenic. Salt
peter, that colors bacon and corned
beef an attractive red, is a powerful
poison, once being known to kill a
person in three hours. Bitter al
monds that flavor the Christmas pud-
ding and the icing Of cakes contain a
good deal of prussic acid.
Oxalic acid, with which foolish
people so often commit suicide, is the
salt which gives rhubarb and sorrel
their pleasant flavor. 1t is violently
irritant and dreadfully painful pOis-
on.
In nearly all our condiments we
eat poison. The oils of nutmeg,
cloves, black pepper, cinnamon, pep
permint, carraway, horseradish and
thyme are all poisonous in large
doses. Black pepper contains a fiery,
volatile oil, capable of burning a hole
in the stomach, if it was not moved
on, while it's piperine is a sure pois-
on. Cayenne pepper, or capsicum,
is still more irritant.
But besides poisons which we take
from choice there are others which
it is impossible to avoid swallowing
in these days of complex feeding.
Arsenic is a very common Ingredient
in beer, jam and sweets made with
glucose. Fortunately the liver acts
more or less as filter, and saves US
from serious consequences.

A YOUTHFUL MoNsTRosITY.
Seven-Year-Old Negro Boy Has a
Mania for the Torch.

A few days ago Mr.. E. j. Stocks
had a three-room dwelling house to
burn down, worth about $1,000,
which fired house of three rooms
near by. In the first named house
was very sick negro man who, with
difficulty, escaped, and that after
having been severely burned. In the
other house was stored about 200
bushels of cotton seed, 100 bushels
OF corn and 10 tons of guano. This
is thought to have been the work of
little negro boy about Z years of
age. He had previously set a bed
on lire, in which was an infant, for
which he was severely whipped.
About the same time this boy was
seen with a torch in hand and when
oyertaken and prevented from doing
mischief with it said that if hindered
in his design he would bI IN Mr..
Stocks fence. The boy was arrested.
and is now confined for the action
or the superior court.
The houses were the property of
Mr.. E. j. Stocks and the commodities
burned in one belonged to Mr.. S. NJ.
Stocks, the produce and labor of last
year. The little negro seems to glory
in doing mischief, and is not abashed
when spoken to about himself.-Lee

CONSIDER THE TRAMP.
He May BE a Joke, But More Often
He Represents Tragedy,

He May Be Joke, But More Often
He Represents Tragedy.
The tramp, writes B. st. D. Thomp-
son, is usually considered from only
two points of view-as a joke or a
menace. And he most commonly
takes shape as a joke, for have not
the comic sections and humorous
publications for years been using the
tramp as a butt-in-chief? AS men,
ace he is known to those who live
in the country and fear his depreda-
tiOns.
But the tramp is more than this.
For he has claims to consideration
as a tragedy and as a problem.
AS tragedy he shuffles across the
range of the normal mans vision, a
dilapidated spectre of failure, mis-
cry and degradation. He epitomizes,
in this view, the heartbreaks of life.
And how many heartbreaks the
tramps of America represent no man
can say. But many, many, many.
Heartbreaks Of mothers and sisters,
and sweethearts and wives; heart
breaks of fathers and brothers:
heartbreaks of whole families.

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Ra..r
by
Lydia E. Pinlxham's Vegetable Conn
orty-Five to Fifty Are Much Ran.r.

The cnange of life " is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkhanl's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
1nvigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.
