ROASTING A POOR EXERCISE
II Loosens the Fiber OF the Brain and
Makes Men Soft and
Flabby.

Boosting is a poor intellectual exer-

the brain and make them soft and
fiabby. When we read in the New
York Medical Journal that card-play-
ing Is injurious to the mind, we re-
member what DR.. Edward Everett Hale
said about it. THE Dragging of peo-
pie used to playing cards." and then
coupling the two observations, we get

discrepancies OF society.

they refer as one of the great cduca-

WHERE MARRYING IS WRONG
Fellows OF Oxford University, Eng
{. land, In Certain Circumstances
Are Penalized for Wedding.

Much is heard of the taxation OF
bachelors; but little Ia ever said OF
the communities wherein matrimony
is deemed a punishable offense. Per
haps the most extraordinary ideas
with reference to this subject may
be said to be held at Oxford Univer
sity in England. There, for instance,
a fellow of All Souls College forfeits
his fellowship, II when studying the
classics, he should take unto himself
wife. In such event he must not
only pay a penalty, but must also pre-
sent his college with q memorial In

There is an aristocratic club in Lon
don, the Bachelors of Piccadilly,
whereof the members who so far for
get their loyalty to the club as to
marry are actually expelled and ostra-
cized The only saving feature OF
such expulsion is that, by the pay
ment of a fine of one hundred dollars,
the offending one may retain an hon
orary membership; but, so far as ac-
tive membership is concerned, he Is
strictly out OF II for the rest of his
life.
There Is a similar organization in
Germany, the Junggesellen Club.
Whenever there comes to the officials
of this club any intimation that q
member contemplates matrimony, he
is Immediately summoned for trial in
the club court, with the president as
Judge. The culprit is allowed to plead
in extenuation Of his offense, and up.
on his skill in presenting such plea
depends the amount Of his fine, which
ranges from one hundred to one thou

SUPERINTENDENT

Among the candidates for State of.
fees whose names will lend tone and
dignity to the Republican State tick.
ct, Is Hon. A. c. Nelson, the we'll and
favorably known present State Supt.
OF Public Instruction.
1t seems to be conceded by prac.
tically all members of his party that
Mr.. Nelson will be named to succeed
himself. The unanimity of sentiment
in his favor has developed because of
his especial fitness for the position
and because of the steady improve
ment of the State school system un-
der his leadership.
II Is matter for congratulation
that the schools OF one of the young
est states in the Union are among
the best in the land and that the foun-
dalton laid for their future growth is
so filled with promise. True, this con
dItiOn has not been brought about by

Of the citizens at large to have their
children properly trained for the re

way detract from the fact that Tn,
work of Supt. Nelson has done mucl
to give our State its splendid educa

THE BARBER FIGHT


The vicious fight made by Senator
A. &. Barber on Mr.. J. NJ. Blair has
aroused no end of hostility among
the Blair followers. They say they
cannot understand why Mr.. Barber
should be SO hostile, and point to the
fact that Mr.. Barber has been an of.
Zee holder more years than is allotted
the very elect, and at a time when
the salary was very fat. For him to
Nppose Mr.. Blair at a time when he
Is out of the running, and when Blair
might gain some advantage is hard
20 comprehend.
For instance it is argued that Mr.
Blair supported Mr. Barber while he
held a lucrative office in 1891, whoa
from the records, and over Mr.. Bar
ber's own signature he drew from the
people of Cache County the sum OF
Sli76.O0 in foui months. This amount
vas distributed as follows:
Warrant 1871, June 1891 .....sJ26 no
Warrant 1888 July 6, 1891 80. $4,000
Warrant 1868 August 10, 1891. 10000
Warrant 1888 October IA, 1891. 50a.OO
These figures were no doubt very
satisfying to Mr.. Barber, and If his
friend Blair could stand for such
treatment then it is hard to concei &c
why Mr.. Barber should be so hostile
TO Mr.. Blair's ambitions now?

MR.. OWENS ATTACK
ON PRESIDENT
TAFT.

Hon. Evan h. owen of Wellsville,
made an attack on the President of
the United States at the Democratic
convention last Saturday. The attack
was received with favor by some, of
course, but the great bulk of &: e
Democracy, as well as Of all parties,
creeds, or factions, will resent this
uncalled for attack on the part of the
Wellsville statesman. During the
course of his remarks he said with
much heat, while that $50 pounds
Avoirdupo.s was sitting in the chair
at Washington $4,000 people were
driven out of Mexico" The gentle
man would evidently desire to convey
the thought that the President of the
United States should have interviewed.
On this subject, of Intervention, the
public will, of course, be glad to have
the opinion of Mr.. Owen, even though
ii be in the heat of a political conven-
ton, but the public will lend more
weight and consideration to the opin-
ions OF others of broader experience
who have been on the ground and are
acquainted with conditions, and who
by the way, are of the same politica
faith as Mr.. Owen.
This Mexican trouble has been OF
the boards for some time. 1t Is cas-!
to find fault as Mr.. owen does, bu
what are the realities? For. MI
Owens benefit, and the benefit o
all those who applauded him we dc
sire to quote from the address OF MI
Anthony w. WINS at the Mormon Cor
ference of last April. He said:
1t is an easy thing for us to tai
about intervention in Mexican a

subjects throughout the world an

protection is not given to represel

Bad Teeth Kill
Many Children
DIR. Harvey Wiley Says
There Should be Dental
Inspection in Schools

Washington, September 12.-
The United States is going more
and more toward socialism, and
state aid for the public schools is
socialistic, declared Dr.. Harvey
w. Wiley, speaking in favor of
dental inspection IN the public
schools before the National Den
tai association.
"We are growing more social
istic every day." said DR.. Wiley,
"and we are coming to think that
the state owes its citizens some
thing. Public education by the
state and the advocacy Of gooc
roads by the state are sociahstit
doctrine, and it is being urged OF
all sides these days. We have
medical inspection of the schools,
and believe we should have den
tai inspection as we'll.
"Toothhood is the time to start
this inspection and you cannot
give the child a better asset, as a
start in life, than good set of
teeth"
DIR. Wiley said that next to the
the Importance of good teeth was
good food, but he declared he was
opposed to all efforts to modern
ize food in the way of having it
artificially masticated and digested
be fore eating.
One thousand children die daily
in this country, said DR.. Wiley,
and the deaths are due more to
bad teeth than to any other trou-

bearing groves are fairly loaded
with nuts of the best size and
quality and the crop will have a
value which is expected to open
the eyes Of even those who are
most optimistic for the future OF
this important industry. Some OF
the largest groves in this section
will yield from 10000 to 100000
pounds of papershell pecans that
will have an average Of 40 to so
cents a pound, though the COM
mon hardshell nut retails for not
more than half that price.
Well known bankers through
out this section of the state de-
clare that the outlook for the fall
season is particularly bright. There
is distinct note Of optimism in
business circles, the natural result
of better crops than usual and con-
idence on the part Of farmers.
There are more Improvements now
going on in this part of the state
than ever before and building ac-
tivity is unprecedented.

are anxious for them to do for
you. There are five committees
to report on important matters,

such action as wisdom and justice
indicates. The following clipping

iFIXL INIT THEY'LL PAY
FOR PICKING COTTON.
M'Rae, Co., Sept. AT a re-
cent meeting of the Te!fair Agri-
cultural Association composed of
Telfair, Dodge and Montgomery
counties, it has been decided and
agreed upon that the price of so
cents per hundred be paid for
picking cotton this season, prior
to November 18th and from this
date to January l, 1918, not over
so cents per hundred.
An executive committee was
appointed, composed of men from
certain sections of the counties,
who are to secure farmers in
their neighborhood to cooperate
in maintaining the stated price.
The justices of peace, public
notaries and mayors RE request
ed also to enforce the yagrancy
law.
Last year as high as $1.O0 per
hundred was paid for cotton pick
ing, and the high price democrat
lied the pickers, who would move
from place to place looking for
higher prices, and the conse-
quence in Telfair county was
more than two thousand bales
were left in the fields.
It's so much more complimea-
tary to lead than to follow, so
lets put Oh a little more stea14 in
every Inc of public industry so
everybody can have job and
every job completed on time.

OUTLOOK FOR The CROPS
Cotton Not Only Money Crop
in South Georgia

Albany, Ca, Sept. lin spite
of the cotton caterpillar, army
worm and rot and whitening Au-
gust heat, it is apparent now that
South Georgia is going to close
the year with stupendous balance
on the right side of the ledger as
the result of the sections agricul-
tural operations.
The cotton crop will not set a
new record, It has met various
misfortunes more or less serious
and the caterpillar has not yet
completed its depredations. AL
though receipts are considerably
behind those Of the corresponding
date OF 1911, il is because the crop
is late and and the acreage reduc-
ed and not the result of any mark
ed falling off of the yield per acre.
In spite OF an unpromising start
good crop of corn has been made
and with the exception Of an &C.
casional farmer whose hay fields
have been devastated by the army
worm, all will gather into their
barns the finest crop of hay made
in this part of the state in many
years. There is an unprecedented
demand for hay presses and the
question of adequate storage room
is a serious one on many a farm.
Fine crops of potatoes, peanuts
and peas have been made and the
spring oat cut was one of the best
IN years.
The sugar cane bottoms, owing
to the abundant moisture which
they have had all summer, are un-
precedentedlY luxuriant and the
South Georgia syrup crop will be
