In Love With Love.

In the first place. children of that age
don't know their own minds. They are
in love with love, and think they are In
love with the boy or girl who at that
moment pleases them best. In six
weeks, still in love with love, this
mushroom offspring OF a romantic brain
is attached to some other person. In
deed, given opportunity and environ
men,, the object of ones undying love
when one is sixteen changes as rapidly
as the scene in a moving picture.
This love is serious while it lasts. 1t
takes time, is waste of emotion and is
fostered and encouraged when ones
judgment is hasty and immature.
Therein the danger lies
Youth always swings too far both
ways. One is uncontrolably happy, or
dangerously depressed Love. never an
offspring of reason, behaves as if of in
sane parentage when those under it's
sway are under sixteen.
Time that should be spent in making
valuable stOrehOuse of the brain is
devoted to making that valuable part
of the anatomy a lumber room filled
with useless odds and ends OF romance.
When one is sixteen, the brain is
strong and active and impressionable.

easiest to retain. 1t is a harvest time,

that will be of great value to those

her" Spring is the most trying time
of year for most people, and it is well
to know that Vinol, our delicious cod
liver and iron remedy without oil, is
the most valuable spring medicine.

NO AUTHORITY
IN HANDS Of
The GOVERNOR
CAN'T ENFORCE | ROHIBITION
Little Joe Tells Of the Weak,
ness Of System

Atlanta, Ca, Feb 26.-"The gov
ernor of this state is as helpless as
baby in the enforcement of the
prohibition law" declared Governor
Brown, anent the lack of machinery
for compelling obedience to some +
the laws on the statute books.
Il am constantly receiving letteis
here at my office from ministers and
other people throughout the state,
asking me, why don't you enforce
the prohibition law" They tell me
the conditions which | am constrained
to admit without question, and they
demand of me a reason for the exist
ence of those conditions. These good
people, bless their souls, don't knw
the governors position"
The governor elaborated upon these
statements by saying that he has
never been able to impress it upon
his correspondents that he lacks any
authority for the enforcement of the
prohibition or other laws until the
local authorities call Jpn him and
ask the aid of the state.
The sheriff or the Judge of the
court, or some other county officer,
can report to me, Here we have a
condition or anarchy" or rebellion, Or
open defiance of the law, as the case
may be; and then l am authorized to
put the full military power of the
state behind them.
But the constitution of Georgia does
not contemplate, 1 believe, any CEN
tralized authority. Its recognition is
of the local government affairs It's
intent appears to be that each county
and each community shall have the
settlement of it's own matters in It's
own hands.
There may be some possibility Of
a law being passed by the legislature
without amendment to the constitll-
ton, where special machinery could
be created for enforcement of the
prohibition law
''If there is, I would be one of the
first to recommend it; but whether
there is or not, l have never yet been
able to get an attorney general OF
Gorgia to give me his opinion on the
question one way or the other"

Sumter farmers and those of this
section generally are growing restless
under continued adverse weather con-
ditions and the farming outlook is
anything than encouraging at this
time. 1t has rained so hard and so
continuously almost the entire two
months of the new year that compar-
atively little farm work has been done
and farmers are very much behind
The ground is still too wet for
ploughing, and hundreds of acres OF
the best lands in Sumter county can
not be touched for some days at least,
even should the rains close now. AT
this date last year every acre in the
county had been turned over and
made ready for corn or cotton plant
ing, but this year much of the tillable
farm lands have not been broken up
he first time.
This condition will result in late
crop and very greatly reduced acreage
as there will not be time sufficient
aow to prepare the lands for planting
as was done last year, even should Q
