RoDDENBERY AND PENSIONS.
rom the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
'SOutherners have naturally hest
tated to oppose pensions, preferring
to help pay Them" says the New
York Sun, referring to the fact that
Representative Roddenbery of Geor-
gia is making "a fine reputation for
independence and valor as a new
member" by assailing the latest pen
sion grab, behind which so many
republicans and democrats are meek
ly huddled, disappearing but cowed
by the supposed strength of the SEN
timent in favor of the measure
What kind of justice is this?"
demanded Mr.. Roddenbery the other
day. Here's a man who fought in
the ranks, who faced death, and you
give him $24. And here's another
man, who is just a horn-tooter, and
he receives 1886" To which the ap-
plauding New York Sun responds:
Really, there is nothing eXtraor-
binary. There are thousands of
men in the country today who draw
pensions and were never even horn
tOoters. The musicians had their
value; they blew the charge, they
played patriotic airs, and many of
them got into the fight. But the
coolers, the bounty jumpers, the
men who never smelled powder,
and did not want to, had no value
at all; and yet hosts of them are
pension beneficiaries. -
Southern representatives in the
past have preferred to help pay pen
siOns rather than to oppose them,
fearing to be attacked and accused
as prejudiced "ex-rebeIs," and thus
they have assisted in saddling the
South with an indirect tax of about
fifty millions annually burden
that has been carried for many,
many years and assumed vaster pro-
portions than any war indemnity that
any defeated nation has ever been
forced to pay. But why should the
Southern representatives weakly pre-
fer such course now, when even
the North is disguised with the pen
sion iniquity and independence in
dealing with this subject is so wide
ly applauded?
Mr.. Roddenbery is to be commend |
ed for his courage and good sense. |
He will lose nothing and is sure to |
gain much in consequence

DAUGHTER OF LAFOLLETTE.

From the Grady County Progress.
The daughter of Senator LaFol-
lette married the other day. She be-
longs to the new order of women,
and says she will not take the name
of her husband, but will retain her
own name. AS our readers NAV
have abundant reasons to know, we
have never admired LaFollette even
a little bit. What little respect for
him we may have had is gone now
No man who raises a daughter with
such ideas is worthy of the respect
of anybody.

THAT SAME OLD FEELING.

I do not care who found the Pole,
Or whether England's short of coal,
OF if that fighting suffrage band
Breaks all the windows in the land;
l do not care to hear or know
What's going on in Mexico
This morn | heard a robin sing
A song of spring.
No interest in that Chinese muss;
For KnOX's trip don't care a cuss;
Won't go to look when Coffyn flies :;
Don't care who's mailing campaign
lies,
And worry, m sure | shan't,
About the hapless case of Brandt
The grass around my house, I ween,
Is getting green.
Don't care one straw for politics.
Don't care who's licked, don't care
who ticks;
Don't care who's right or who is
wrong;
Don't care about the houn' dawg
song;
Don't care what happens, what may
be
There's nothing makes a hit with me
Except the charm of softening breeze
And budding trees.
Don't care if Wickersham shall bust
Each robbing, law-defying trust
There isn't any kind of news
That can get rise out of my Muse
1t isn't any use to try.
She cares not any more than I,
And we feel just alike each year
When spring is near

HER HIGH KICK,

The perils of calling a policeman
are many and varied. Take the case
of officer John E. Fink, of New York,
for example. Fink has just been re-
tired on pension as hopelessly in
capacitated by increasing blindness,
which is certain to become complete
and permanent from a wasting away
Of the optic nerve. A year ago he
arrested a woman. AS he turned to
leave the cell to which he had taken
his prisoner there was a swish of
skirts and flutter of lingerie and
the girls sharp-pointed toe was
planted on his neck just back of the
ear. The injury from the high kick
has been progressive, and the young
officer will henceforth grope his way
in darkness.

OPPOSE POLITICAL TRICKERY

From the Americas Tmes-Recorder.
The general impression is that the
Wilson people fear they are going to
lose Georgia. If the people wake up
to the scheme to give the state to
Wilson on a probable minority vote
they certainly will lose it. At heart
the mass of Georgians are opposed
to such political trickery.

Prominent Occupation Years Ago
-"Good Feeder" Meant Much
HORSE POWER MOTIVE FORCE
Tending Separators Another Growing
Glory Of Thrasherman's Spec
tacuiar Career Then.

Sonny, ask you pa if he ever went
with thrashing machine" Perhaps
he'll tell you how he used to feed"
If he ever did pa will enjoy telling
you all about it.
"Going with machine" was a
pretty prominent occupation in the
old days and the ambition of most
youths raised on farm. 1t cOmpar-
ed with belonging to the volunteer
fire department to small towns, men,
bership in the national guard in the
bigger towns. There was distinction
about it. 1t argued knowledge of ma
chinery and carried with it some
measure of command.
In the older days horsepower fur
nished the motive force of all thrash
ing machines. In the very Oldest
days of small thrashers an eight pow
er and later on ten and twelve and
even sixteen as the separators grew
larger. High on the footboard in
the center of twelve straining horses
which went round and round, heav-
ing at the long sweeps, stood the
driver. It was knack to drive on
the horsepower" getting out of each
team it's just share of the work
without drawing protest from some
horse owner with a watchful eye and
a Jealous disposition. Two machine
teams" belonged to the thrasher's out
fit constituted part of the battery, and
it was generally conceded by farmers
that they were favored, which was in
dignantly and as generally denied by
the outfit. Later on "equalizers" de-
termlned at a glance whether one
team or another was tagging and the
accusation was common that the
thrasher men knew what sweep to
hitch to and that the equalizing ap-
paratus was fixed in favor of their
teams. 1t was a knack to keep up
notion" not too fast or too slow, and
there were famous drivers in the land
and others much criticised and de-
cried.

his turn at driving, at feeding" and

Side Lights on Next Sundays
Lesson for Teachers and Pupils.
Edited by CHAs. K. MEYERS.

Sept. 22-Feeding OF the Five
Thousand. Mark 6, 3O-44.
We have for our lesson this week
one of the most wonderful and i'm
portant miracles performed by the
Savior. The feeding of the multitude
out in desert place by Jesus is told
in each of the four gospels. The &C.
count given in John is particularly
important, as there is found an ex-
PLANTATION of the true spiritual lesson
which the miracle would teach us.
The facts in the case are as follows:
On the return of the disciples from
the missionary trip spoken OF in the
lesson of September Sth, they told
Jesus as to what they had said and
done. He suggested that they go to
desert place to be alone and gain
time for rest and eating. They took
ship across a corner of the Sea of
Galilee, but the watchful people fol-
lowed after, and gathered about the
Master. His heart was touched with
their conditions and He began to talk
to them. Late in the day certain of
the disciples came to Jesus and sug-
gested that the people be sent away,
so they could obtain something to
eat. Jesus replied that the disciples
had better feed the crowd right there.
They asked him whether he meant
for them to buy food, saying it would
take 200 pennysworth of bread to sup
ply the multitude. Jesus asked as to
the food right with them. Andrew
replied there was lad present with
five barley loaves ard two small fish
es Jesus commanded that the peo-
pie be told to seat themselves by hun
dreds and fifties. Then he took the
little food supply, blessed it and told
the disciples to give to the people.
Now came the miracle, for there was
enough food not only to supply five
thousand but twelve baskets were
gathered up.
That night Jesus and the disciples
took ship again and crossed the sea.

fcred the two banl cutters, one on
each side, and perhaps the pitchers on
the stack; for in those earlier days
thrashing from the field was sloven-
ly performance and argued that you
couldn't put up stack that would
shed water. The feeder was mon
arch of all he surveyed. He called
for motion" and glared at the boy
band cutters with the air of an en-
peror. He signalled with authority
for more bundles and ordered the
pitchers to quit piling them up His
duty and his highest aim was to keep
the motion down" to a subdued and
steady humming of the gears, which
assured that the fans were not blow
ing the grain over into the straw"
A green straw stack meant another
thrashing outfit on that farm next
thrashing time. But when the stack
having peaked toward its finish and
the man at the tail of the straw car
rier being in a tight place, no feeder
was proof against the desire to crowd
him to the last straw. Then he wink
ed for more motion and the carrier,
filed to the limit, discharged straw
faster than any human being had
power to fork it away. And thus be-
tween the feeder and the man at the
end of the carrier arose feud and i'll
feeling which found vent in inter-
change of epithet and occasionally
resulted in severe nasal hemorr-
hayes.
But tending separators was the
browning glory OF the thrasherman' S
spectacular career. First off, he
"oiled up" with assumption of uncan-
ny secret knowledge OF gears and in
finite responsibility for babbitt bear
ings. His long spouted oil can was an
insignia and scepter He made it
his business to examine belts with a
shrewd eye. He gazed knowingly in
upon the sieve and when these func-
tons had been performed under the
envious eye of youth he mounted to
the top of the separator and stood at
full height above the cylinder, like
statue of liberty that had acquired
the habit of chewing tobacco.
Eheu, it is all over. There are no
more feeders or canny drivers. A
contraption of steel and gearings now
thrusts the grain savagely into the
bowels of the machine and putting,
snorting tractor has replaced the
horses which Rosa BOnheur might
have raved over. Instead of hasty
supper and hurried heaving sweeps
and pulling of stackers and loading
upon wagons when the outfit moves
now a greasy person backs the smoke
wagon up to the separator when the
job is over. The thrasherman's glory
is gone like Ichabod's. He is just a
person in wamus. About all that is
left of the good old days is the emu
lation which still exists among the

Their movements did not escape the
watchfulness of the people, and by
boat and on foot they followed after
Jesus faced them, as told in John
9th, and explained to them great
truth, using the feeding of the five
thousand as an object lesson. First,
he rebuked them for following after,
not to learn religious truth, but to be
fed again. Then came the great truth
from the lips of Jesus: Labor not for
meat which perishes, but for that
meat which endureth unto everlasting
life. which the Son of man shall give
unto you"
Jesus thus uses the common thing
of eating food to supply hunger to
impress remarkable truth. Food
for the stomach is right in its way,
but % supply it should not be the
chief aim. To gain food for spiritual
life which will give everlasting life
can we'll be the principle thing of our
present existence. The golden text
of the lesson contains. the still fur
Their ruth declared by Jesus when He
said, 81 am the bread of life" 1t will
be remembered that Jesus told the
Samaritan woman that He would give
water which would bring up to ever
lasting life. Thus Jesus is as vital
to our spiritual growth as water and
food to the body.
Jesus called attention to the feed
ing of the Jews in the wilderness
with mama by God. God now gives
something better than mama, in
Jesus, his son, of whom if we eat we
shall never die There are a number
of verses in John 9Th which contain
the precious promises of everlasting
life, which can be attained by believ-
ing in Jesus and making His words
part of our spiritual life, as bread
we eat becomes a part of our physical
being. So We started out to learn
dOOOJ lAS lCSulllS VI NV NhoNS"AN'
and end with the assurance of ever
lasting life as teaching of the mir
acle.
In the study of this lesson there
need be no special wondering as to|
the miracle of the increase in the
food. 1t is a miracle that a grain of
corn makes a great stock producing
one and two ears; it is miracle that
the acorn can grow to be monster
oak: it is a miracle when babe is
born, ready to see and hear, with
blood circulating and stomach capa-
Bile to take food and grow thereby. In
fact, we are surrounded with mir
acles, they are so common we think
nothing of them. The power which
makes the corn seed multiply, can
multiply bread and fishes. So there
need be no speculation as to how the
food was increased for the five
thousand. Let us rather turn our at
tention to Jesus, the bread of life,
and be sure that We obtain some of it.
