GAVE PARTY.

Wednesday. July 16, marked an
other milestone in the life of John
F. Way, and in honor of the occasion
Mrs. Way prepared a pleasant sur
prise for her husband that evening.
He had been out to the tennis ground
and on returning he found the house
dark, but on entering Mrs. Way
flashed the lights, and her husband
found himself confronted with quite
a few of the families in that immed-
late neighborhood, who expressed
their congratulations of the occa-
sion. Mr.. Way expressed the opinion
to them that he felt as if he was
twenty-one again, and that he was as
much in doubt who to vote for, for
president now as then. The evening
was passed informally with games
and other amusements. and light re-
freshments were served the guests.
The house was very prettily decorat-
ed with flowers.

my health, and had to give up work.
Vinol was recommended, and from the
second bottle I commenced to i'm
prove. gained in weight and strength,
my bronchial trouble disappeared, and
I am at work again.
1t is the combined action of the
curative elements of the Gods livers,
aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron contained in Vinol which makes
it so successful in curing bronchitis.
Vinol is constitutional remedy for
chronic coughs, colds, bronchitis and

like cough syrups.

helps you. we will return your money.

Learn How To Handle
Your Tools

One queer idea rather prevalent
in the South is that when farm
fails to do good work
on some mans farm, it is the fault
of the machine. Now little
thought should convince anyone
that nine-times out of ten it must
be the fault of the man. ALI farm
implements are not perfect, of
course, and no one of them is like
ly to be best under all conditions;
but it needs only a moments re-
Election to convince a man who
thinks, no one can afford to make
and sell machine that will not do
good work if given a fair chance
certainly no man or firm with a
large investment of capital or with
a reputation to lose, or make, can
afford to do so. ] have seen men
harrow their corn and drag out a
lot of 1t, but it wasn't the harrow's
fault. 1t was because the land had
been poorly prepared, because the
harrow teeth were not properly
set, and because the driver did not
know his business. On land pre-
pared as it should be | can run a
harrow all day and not pull up
enough corn for anyone to notice
it at all two days later. The man
who does not get good results
with any standard farm implement
should first of all make sure that
he is handling it properly. Shop

Unconstitutional
Says Committee
Amendment to Constitution
For Direct Election of
Senators.

Atlanta. Aug. 2.-The propos-
ed amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States
providing for popular cleo
ton of United States senators, is
unconstitutional, according to the
report submitted to the house to-
day by the special committee of
the legislature to which it had
been referred.
The report holds that the leg
islature cannot consent to receive
or act upon any proposal for the
amendment of the federal con-
sittution until the same is
made by two-thirds of the full
membership of both houses of
congress and conceives it to be
in derogation of the reserved
rights of the states for any
amendment to be proposed until
it receives such vote.
The report concludes by saying
that in the interest of candor
we conceive it proper to say that
the state of Georgia will be
prompt to agree to the election
of senators by the people of the
respective states, if the proposal
therefore be made in what we
conceive to be the method provi-
ded by the constitution for it's
own amendment, but not in any
terms which derogate in any de-
gree, directly or consequentially.
from our reserved right of entire
and unqualified control over our
own suffrage, registration and
election"
The governor is instructed to
return the communication to the
proper federal officer from whom
it emanated and to send a copy
to the governors of the several
states, with the request that the
same be laid before their respec-
tive legislatures in the hope that
the states may join with Geor-
gia in earnest insistence that the
congress do not hereafter pro-
pose amendments to the federal
constitution otherwise than upon
the votes of two-thirds of the
entire membership of each housS
thereof. !"
