we find human machine which can
stand this heavy strain. But it is
useless for a man who is equipped
to carry one hundred pounds of
steam with safety to try to carry
two hundred pounds, and this is why
we hear of so many young men,
from forty to fifty years of age, dying
of kidney, heart and arterial troub-
les. Within one week the New York
newspapers reported the unexpected
deaths of three prominent men, who
were living this intense business life,
in addition to the strain of their
social duties.
And the world calls them sudden
deaths but were they?

TWAS VERY RIDICULOUS.

Governor Hunt of Arizona volun-
tarily has passed one night locked up
in a cell at the penitentiary of that
state, and by so doing he believes
he has delved deeply into the science
of penalogy and from his very abbre-
waited personal experience is able to
Judge more accurately and sympa-
thetically of what is appropriate and
just in the way of punishment for the
malefactor and in the matter of sea-
soning justice with mercy. He thinks
that all governors should be required
to pass one night in prison.
To have personal prison experience
fof any value something more real
and less romantic than one nights
voluntary imprisonment would be
required If the experiment is worth
trying at all the experience in prison
should be genuine. If a governor
truly desires to know what con-
Wet life is let him serve not less
than three months as an unknown
criminal, with neither name nor
pull nor influence of any kind to
soften the rigors of his confine-
ment. Then he will learn something
real of the monotony of prison food
served with iron spoons in tin plates
and cups; then viii he realize some
thing of what enforced silence and
long hours of unrewarded toll mean
then will he have a slight conception
of what it means to pass almost end
less nights upon hard bed; then
he will perhaps, get an inkling OF
the brutality and favoritism of heart
less keepers.
One night in prison, and as gov
ernor at that; one night in cell
with the certainty of release next
morning; one or two meals of prison
fare as a voluntary change from me.

make them! How ridiculous!

\ TRICK OF THE TYPES.

The types do funny stunts some
times, even in the best regulated
newspaper offices. For instance,
there appeared in a recent issue of
The News over clipping from the
Early County News, telling what an
undesirable cuss is the fellow who
criticises his home town, the head
line, The Country Saver" while
over an item from the Dalton Citi-
zen endorsing the position this paper
has taken in regard to requiring can
didates to pay for matter printed in
their interest was the headline, He
a Community Wart." OF course the
reader will understand that these
two headlines somehow got over the
wrong articles. We hereby tender
our most humble apology to Editor
Shope of the Dalton Citizen, who is
not only not a wart of any kind, but
edits and prints one of the best and
perhaps the neatest newspaper in
Georgia. AS to the other fellow
the chap who runs down his town
he is not a saver" of anything ex-
cept that which would be of benefit
to his neighbors and would contrib
ute to the growth and advancement
of the community that has to tolerate
him. He is wart, all right, and
one for which The News has such a
poor opinion that nothing more will
be said here for fear we might say
unpleasant of him.

THE TRAGEDY OF DRESS.

Fashion sows the seed of debt and
reaps disaster.
Dress is for some women the only
sign of class difference and social
rank which has survived into this
leveling age, and the price that truly
modish queens" pay for their roy
all exclusiveness is an enormous one.
Commenting on the folly OF this
craze for dress a woman writer says:
1.-The fight between the real and the
imitation is a bitter one, for rabbit
skin tries so hard to pose as ermlne
that all grades and tones of imitation
increase in price as the real thing in
creases. Everywhere poor little fash
ion-made women are eager to copy,
willing to follow in shoddy satin
slippers along the path first traced
by diamond-studded heels. Poor
foolish women! They dare not stop;
they cannot, will not sink into the
limbo of dowdiness (where, by the
way, much true comfort stays, and
the dread of being out of date spurs
them forever onward. They have no
other interest in life than this, their
futile worship at the shrine of Fash
ion. The passion for dress enters in
to them and to ask them to control
it is like asking a drug-fiend to re-
fuse cocaine, a drunkard to give up
drink and a gambler to renounce
gambling"
Dress is their folly, and it is also
their sin and scourge. They would
rather die than wear last years
clothes, and they frequently go with
out proper food in order to indulge
in some desired bit of daintiness.
Behind many of the sensational ac-
counts of suicides, divorces and
thefts which fill the newspapers
there looms this tragedy of dress.
Fashion unwittingly sows the seed of
debt and reaps disaster, for the mad
dening knowledge of debts that can
not be paid drives many weak wo-
man to drugs, to drink and to crime.

NOT EXTRAORDINARY.

We find this item in the current
issue of our esteemed contemporary,
the Early County News:
The Dawson News and the AL
bany Herald, which are up on egg
ology, VIII please sit up and take
notice. Mr.. Henry Lee, one of our
sturdy farmers, was exhibiting to
friends in the city Tuesday an egg
which was laid by a Toulouse goose
which beat anything in the way Of
domestic fowl eggs we have ever
seen. The egg measured eight and
a quarter inches in circumference
one way and 10 inches the other
and tipped the scales at 10 ounces.
Mr.. Lee said that while this was
an extra large egg the greater part
Of the eggs laid by the goose are
approximately of that size.
1t is to be hoped the Early County
News doesn't wish to enter a goose
against a hen in a contest of this
kind. Nevertheless that is not any
thing very egg-traordinary for as big
a fowl as a goose; but admitting that
the said goose has distinguished her
self it is nothing in comparison TO
the feat of LOnnie Britt's hen, that
justly won a place in the hall of
fame by producing an egg that meas
ured 5 Y inches in circumference,
4 in length and weighed six ounces,
and followed it up every other
day with one almost as large until
there were fifteen of them. That
Early county egg is a measly little
old thing for a goose that thought
she was doing something really big,
and does not warrant the cackIe that
has come from the sanctum of our
contemporary.

HOT AIR AND POLITICS.

From Louisville Courier-J ournal
The COurier-Journal is unable to
see where either Wilson or Roosevelt
is to obtain any considerable conven-
ton strength. Pennsylvania, whose
preference carries with it no moral
weight and counts for nothing except
a deal between Guffy and Wilson,
will make a kind of showing for
Wilson, but as yet no hefty delega-
ton is in sight for Roosevelt. Meth
er will be factor in either conven-
ton. With both it is a case of hot
air and printers ink. The one has
we'll nigh collapsed. The other, like
the wasp, biggest when Matched, will
not be long in following after.

PRO BONO TEDDY.

From the Augusta Chronicle.
What's the matter with Teddy?
He must have lost his rabbits foot,
for in every political contest that he
has been engaged in since his return
from the dark continent he has been
beaten to a fragile.
After a strenuous time Conquering
the lions and tigers in their native
jungles he bethOught him to return
to these shores, tear up the patch
and put himself III for third term,
or such matter. This was to have
been grand demonstration of the
triumph of my policies"
1t was planned for the Colonel to
go out into the by-ways and hedges
and whoop up the honey boys; tell
them that the people must rule and
proclaim himself the ruler of the
people. But the old-time boom would
not come back, and things look
gloomy around Sycamore Hill, as
state after state joins the Taft pro-
cession.
However, there is one bright feat
ure IN the situation that relieves the
- "a ny uGti huSoo VI lie pOl1Llcdl wa
terlOo. Teddy still has a sufficiency
OF worldly goods to maintain him
through his declining years-in fact,
Teddy is millionaire. He hasn't
been doing these spectacular stunts
for nothing.
Colonel RooseveIt's sources of rev.
enue during the past Is years have
been as follows:
Assistant secretary of the navy.
two years, $4,000.
Governor of New York, two years.
$4,000.
Vice president of the United
States, one year, $4,000.
President of the United States.
seven years, $35O,OOO.
Awarded Noble prize, $4,000.

Royalties, $634,OOO.

A MATTER TO THINK ABOUT,

From the Savannah News.
The Georgia farmers who are we'd
ded to cotton and see no money in
diversified crops should read what
The Dawson News says about some
OF the farmers in Terrell county.
For instance it says wheat growers
are among Terrell's most substantial
and independent farmers" There
are many counties in the state in
which wheat is a profitable crop.
There are many other crops that
would pay as we'll as cotton. This is
a matter that the farmers ought to
be thinking about, particularly as
the boil weevil is coming.

Unsatisfactory Road Work.

From the Doerun Advertiser.
There seems to be a growing dis
satisfaction with the present law
governing the working of county
roads in the state. Very few roads
worked under the old way were of
any permanent value, and under the
present system the inadequacy of the
force employed causes a hurried and
temporary work to satisfy the con-
slant demands of different sections
OF the county; and this is especially
true IN large counties, with results
just about the same as under the old
system-bad roads every wet spell.

Evidence is accommodating that Os-
car Underwood is going to sweep
Georgia. The opposition, who are
controlled by partisan and personal
politics, see the handwriting on the
wall, and in their disappointment and
rage are making all kinds of wild
charges and saying all sorts of fool
ish things about Congressman I'm

and Speaker Champ Clark 1t is too
bad that Brother Dick Gray is going
