WORSE THAN SILLY.

Dog tailors and outtitters in Paris
are doing a rushing business this sea-
son, according to reports from over
there They are dealing specially in
very classy coats and high-laced rub
Der boots, the latter being the latest
invention for the protection of dogs
feet from wet weather. The outfit
tiers declare that canine luxury will
be greater this winter than ever.
An evidence of this was seen one
day recently when a we'll known act
ress was noticed taking her poodle
for a stroll. The latter wore rubber
boots, laced up high on the legs; ear
protectors in felt cloth, goggles with
gold rims to shield the eyes from the
cold and mud, and a correctly cut
raglan overcoat lined with soft, thick
flannel, provided with pocket
wherefrom projected a handkerchief,
duly embroidered with monogram.
Passersby agreed that the poor dog
seemed to be suffering from depres-
sion. What they thought of the
woman in the case" may better be
imagined than said.

UIITERACY DECREASES.

Illiteracy in the United States has
decreased during the last decade
from 1917 to rs per cent, according
to statistics just given out by the
census bureau. That the decrease
has not been even more marked is
due to the heavy immigration in the
last ten years.
An illiterate in the eyes of the
census bureau is person of ten
years or over who cannot write, re-
gardless of his or her ability to read.
The number of illiterates in the Unit
ed States in 1910, when the last CEN
sus was taken, was 5,516,936, as
compared to 6,1S0,O96 in 19O9-a
decrease of about 100000 from the
figures for 1890.
Compared with most countries of
Europe and South America the Unit
ed States has a record of which it
may well be proud. In Austria the
percentage of illiteracy was 26.2 in
1900, the latest figures available; in
European Russia 70 per cent of the
population ten years old or over was
illiterate in 1897; in Greece the per-
centage was 57.2; in Spain in 1900
5S.7; in Italy in 1890, 1872; in Can
ada the percentage among the people
five years old or over was III il
1901; in Mexico the percentage
among persons eleven years old and
over was 1853.
But the United States has not
equaled the records of some Of the
more enlightened European countries
in wiping out illiteracy. Among
Scandinavians it has become so rare
that it is negligible, and the statistics
no longer take account of it, In
Germany the army recruits showed
three-tenths of one per cent illiterate
in 1905; in Great Britain the per-
centage of illiteracy among army re-
cruits of 1903-1904 was one In
France the illiterates among the pop
ulation ten years of age and over in
1906 was al.

SAYS RIvEs IS A WARM OSE.

From Greensboro Herald-JournaL
There's a man residing at Cuthbert
who is a warm persimmon His
name is Andrew P. Rives. He con-
tributes some very readable articles
to the Cuthbert Leader, Dawson
News and other South Georgia pa
pers. He says it lie high time to kick
certain malcontents out of the coun-
ellis of the democratic party in this
state and repudiate any candidate
who seeks their aid. That's hitting
right from the shoulder, sure. But
Mr.. Rives should remember who is
responsible for the chief of the mall
contents, as he terms him. being back
in the councils of the democratic par
ty. The Joe Brown element is not
responsible for the condition of at
fairs, and the said element dc not
propose to repudiate Mr.. Watson.
White ii is true Mr. Watson does not
agree with Governor Brown regard
ing the military incident in Augusta
he hasn't said anything out of the
way. Watson.has merely argued the
question in a parliamentary manner.
oh, no The "cbief malcontent" will
be heard again on the firing line in

AN INTERESTING PROBLEM.

That AN apple a day drives the
doctor away" is an adage which, doc
tors agree, has at least a grain of
truth in it. 1t is at least true that
to eat a good deal of ripe, and not
over-ripe, fruit is conducive to the
enjoyment of a higher level of health
than is the portion of the individual
who consumes little fruit. A writer
inquiries whether it is not probable
that the alcohol in fruits is a valuable
germicide when taken in fruit, as ma
ture intended it should be.
The almost universal craving for al
cohol, he believes, is natural crav-
ing for a germicide which is benefi-
cial when it is taken as a constituent
part of fruit, but harmful when taken
in the form of intoxicants. He be-
lieyes the reason is that users of fruit
get the germicidal alcohol in nat
ural way and in spirits get it in larger
quantities and in form highly inju-
rious.
This opens a field for discussion
which should be fruitful. That IAN
apple a day." or a bunch of grapes,
or almost any other good fruit, is a
part of the menu that should not be
overlooked at any time of the year
is admitted. If the reason has been
hit upon by this investigator the dis
covery should prove valuable to per
sons and institutions interested il
the cure of the drink habit. A wa!
might be found to divert the thirs
for alcohol, by easy stages, from dele
terious strong drink to fruit juices

coiled serpent, to the apple a da

Has Become Contagious.

From the Jackson Herald.
Our good old friend, Thomas E.
VIM, has been having some trouble.
He is a trustee of the Soldiers Home.
He was charged with being drunk
and patting the head nurse on the
back. On these charges he was tried
by the trustees. On the charge of
being full he was found guilty. On
the other he was found guilty of pat
ting, but as it was done in a friendly,
fatherly way no harm was done.
Since he suffered with asthma he
was excusable for the first offense.
Since his acquittal several men in
the community seem to be suffering
with asthma. Don't know whether
they Will apply the same remedy as

country a good and impartial execu-

towards the South, and is held in

HOW THE WEEVIL HAS HELPED.

According to an estimate recently
issned by the agricultural depart
ment at Washington the South, and
hence the nation, has lost through
the ravages of the cotton boil weeVii
s125,OOO,O0O, represented by $780,
GOO bales of cotton, since the pest
first crossed the Rio Grande. Doubt
less the department is about correct,
so far as the loss of cotton is con-
cerped. But the invasion of the Wee
vii cannot be justly regarded as an
unmitigated curse. There is COM
Densation in nature for everything,
and if We have lost in the production
of cotton we have gained in other
things. Nothing has ever happened
+o stimulate the farmer to industry
and to make him understand the val
lie of his land for other crops as the
advance of the weevil has done. And
the progress of the insect has been
slow enough to allow the farmer to
nrepare for its coming. Where only
a few years ago cotton was practl-
cally the sole crop there is now being
raised corn, oats, hay, vegetables and
livestock, and as result the farm
ers are becoming more self-sustaining
and more Independent. 1t was and
is a drastic stimulus, but as result
of its application agricultural educa-
ton has been forwarded, and today
some of our most aggressive and act
i've business men are to be found
among the farmers.
