It was no hardship to put my hands to the
pillow handles, and pillow in grain for the good
old man with whom [ lived
1t was more in a spirit of frolic than Of
labor that took the sickle in my hands and
helped to reap the upland rice, with which
they were then experimenting in old Screven
county,
The whole day was full of life, and at night
sleep was my friend.
I remember one day seeing girl in the
family where [ lived weeping as if her heart
would break; she was one of my scholars
In fact, we were sweet-hearts.

Sobbing convulsively, she answered: "John

John b was the oldest son of the richest
man in that neighborhood.
The girl whom he had insulted was poor;
her father had only one leg, and of course,

An Idle Day in Screven COUNTY

I HAVE spent another idle day down in old
Screven.
Not many idle days fall to my lot,
It was AN invitation to join party of gen.
tlemen who were intending to have deer
hunt along the Ogeechee, which perhaps car
ried me into the dear old county again.
It is not in me now to murder any mild
eyed deer, or any other living thing whatso-
ever.
But it was glorious Indian summer and [
thought it might do me good if took day
off and went back to the scenes Of my boy
hood.
SO, in my mind, I returned to the wire
grass, and / spent whole day passing over
the old ground, seeing the old sights.
The frost was on the cane again, the needles
of the pines were dropping from above; the
fox-squirrel was leaping over the grass and
the cricket was making his notes in the fod-
r-stack.
AS Of old, / had my book in my hand, and
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-12-05

Throughout the Republic ran an indignant
howl, because of the fact that the highest
duties were left on those necessaries which
the common people are obliged to have, and
that the lowest duties were left on those lux
uries which only the rich can afford.
The silk hat was taxed low, the wool hat
was taxed high.
The cheap overcoat has the almost incred-
lble tax of $50 per cent, thus making it cost
five times what it ought to cost.
The common blanket was taxed 1876 per
cent, thus making it cost three times what it
ought to cost.
These infamous taxes doubled the cost of
living; since then many a strong swimmer
has given up the fight in despair; many a
workman has killed himself because he could
not feed those who were dependent upon him.
Many wife and daughter have been
tempted into lives of shame; many poor boy
has gone into vice and crime.
All of us know this, all of us charged Taft
with his responsibility for it; all Of us made
the continent resound with the cry: "You
broke your word You promised us down
ward revision of the Tariff, and you signed
Bill which meant more riches to the rich,
and more poverty to the poor"
On that issue we Democrats beat old Taft
out OF his boots, in spite of his cast-iron smile
and his bay-window portico.
Now we Democrats must make good.
insist upon it.
We must not have any more Tariff hear
ings.
Everybody has already been heard
Everybody's ears are worn out
The stenographers are tired they are still
pulling the kinks out of their fingers.
The reporters are tired
The editors are tired.
The readers are tired
What we want now is lower prices on the
things we have to buy.

ME- DEMOCRATS find ourselves in
pickle, on account Of the magnitude Of
our victory
Welgot all that we asked for, which is con-
s1derably more than we need.
we are now putting gray hairs into our
heads, worrying over the situation.
Our oficiel Chief has actually had to flee
the country-that's Woodrow Wilson, you
know, who won the heart of the South in a
way that even a heather Chinee couldn't
understand
Since his victory, he has quit talking.
And Bryan isn't saying much and Champ
Clark, as well as Oscar, Underwood, appears
to be puzzled.
To my mind, the duty of US Democrats is
perfectly plain.
We ought to put through Congress the
same measures which we said were all right
last year
We killed old Taft by putting up to him
the Farmers Free List Bill, the Cotton Goods
Bill, the Free Wool Bill and the Metal Seized
ule.
The distinctive issue which ruined Taft
was Tariff reduction.
He had given the whole country an object
lesson when he allowed those North western
States, after the big forest fires, to import
lumber from Canada, free of duty
Anybody could see that untaxed lumber
meant cheap lumber.
After that, when Oscar Underwood put
through Congress free lumber bill, which
meant cheaper lumber for every man in the
United States, people could not understand
why President Taft refused to the other
States of the Union, what he had granted to
those in the North west
He himself had said that the Wooden
Schedule was indefensble yet when Under
wood and Clark undertook to reform it by
lowering the outrageous duties, he defended
it with a Veto
No man can explain things like these.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-12-05

If those Tariff Bills of Clark and Under
wood were right a year ago, they are right
at this time.
Taft said they were hastily prepared
Underwood and Clark denied this allega-
ton.
They affirmed over and often in the most
positive language that those bills had been
drafted after the most careful, painstaking,
scientific and patriotic examination.
When Taft vetoed them, it was our right
to howl.
We sure did howl.
In fact, we did it with such unanimitv
that we simply howled old Taft into the back
ground.
We elected our man President.
We elected our heroes to Congress.
We got the Cabinet
We are the whole team, including the dog
under the wagon.
Now must make good
L insist upon it.
don't want any more hearings from Capt.
Tiff
Capt. Tiff has already been heard twice.
[ don't want to hear another word from
that man, Lippitt, of the New England Cotton
Goods Trust; his noble voice has already been
heard twice; surely that's enough.
Not another word do [ want to hear from
Judge Ebert Gary Of the Steel Trust; we
have already heard him to Gods lavish.
We don't need anything. more from Andrew
Carnegie.
The less we hear from J. P Morgan, the
better we will like it.
All we want now is--that we Democrats
put through Congress the very Bills which
Taft vetoed.
Woodrow Wilson means to sign every one
of those Bills.
That's what he ran off to Bermuda for
He has gone down there to get the strength
to do it.

I found my old place on the grass close by
the little creek which sang through the forest
and | wondered how many other men had
so appreciated its melody.
| lay on my back as [ used to do, with my
hands clasped under my head, and I looked
up at the bending tops, and listened as
the west wind went through the pines.
1t seemed to me then, as it seems to me
now, that the solemnest cathedral on this
earth, is tall pine forest when the mournful
wind sounds its dirges along those following
aisles.
Those were splendid, reckless days.
| didn't have a dollar in the world, and /
didn't care, life beat holly in the pulse of
eighteen years, and all those who came in
contact with me, on the congenial side, were.
enthusiastically my friends.

the little school-house, and then three miles
back again.

"Hard'' Drinking Water.

Many persons have long believed
that it is injurious to the health to
drink "hard' water. Medical author
tiles now assert that there is no
foundation for the belief, and some
maintain that hard water is even
superior to soft water for drinking
purposes They point out the fact
that ordinary food contains a great
deal more lime than is to be found
in even a larger quantity of water
than anyone would be likely to drink.
Govt is said to occur alike among
those who do and do not dring hard
water. According to the statistics
quoted in the London Engineer, the
death rate in hard water towns is
actually less than in "soft water
towns 1t is also a fact that most
of the natural waters that have
proved val able in treating diseases
attributed to the drinking of hard
water, themselves contain no small
proportion of lime salts.

YOUNG WOMAN IS
 STRANGELY MISSING

New York, July 23-Convinced that the case Is one parallel to that of the still missing Dorothy Arnold, the po- lice today renewed efforts to locate Miss Dorcas Iyams Snodgrass, pre- possessing young woman who disap- peared in broad daylight, last Wednes- day. She came here to shop and from the time she left the train no trace of her has been found.
 Her sister, Mrs. J. l.. Crider, wife of the chief construction engineer of the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway, declared today that she had suffered greatly from the heat and she fears she is wandering about the city stricken with aphasia. Her home was in Mountainburg, w Va, but she has lived with her sister in Mount Vernan, N. r., for the last two years and has been studying to become a nurse.
 She was engaged to marry an cleo trical constructor at Mount Vernon.
 A report, that Miss Snodgrass had eloped with a former house surgeon at the Mount Vernon Hospital, whom she met while studying nursing, was denied by the matron of the nurses home in connection with the hospital today. She said the doctor in queg- tion knew Miss Snodgrass only cas- ually and characterized the rumoI that she had eloped as absurd"

 'I. Minnie Melee. confess to having administered the ends of matches, containing sulphur and phosphorous, to my children in April. last. I gave it to them in sugar and water. I was feeling bad at the time"
 It had been hard struggle for ex- istence on the part of the woman and her children and at the time of her arrest. while denying that she had killed them, she told the doctor who was called that she was glad the chil- dren were dead as they were "better Scff.s'
 An autopsy revealed the cause ot death The woman seemed to take little interest in her case, but after being found guilty she told the lawyer who had been assigned to conduct hel defense that she was willing to make 8 complete confession which she did.

SCHOOL BOARD
 REJECTS BIDS Claim Is Made That They Are
 Excessive New Bids Called For On Four Room Addition to Myrtle Avenue School

Of the opinion that the prices asked Tor were exorbitant and excessive, the Board of Education at it's meeting last evening threw out all the bids received for the addition of four ne " rooms and the installation of a heat ing and vacuum system in the Myrtle avenue school.

 These prices are exorbitant," stat ed Commissioner N. W Bishop. "and I as member of the board object to them" Commissioner Bishop is also shairman of the committee which has charge of the new construction He then moved that: all bids be rejected and new bids asked for. The motion was carried without dissenting voice. Though new bids will be asked for. the plans and specifications as pre- pared by Architect Cooper will not be changed.

The excellent record of George ". Kelly, a member of the engineering corps of the regular army encamped at Huntington, stood him in good stead today when it saved him from being held in the City court on sus- picion of attempting serious crime.
 Kelly was discharged from custody in the city court under a suspension of Judgment, but he walked out of that tribunal in custody of Sergeant Shears, bound for the guard housestn Huntington.
 Kelly was taken into custody late yesterday by Patrolman Herb, who received complaints from passersby who happened to notice Kelly accost- ing young girls passing through Fair field avenue, near Main street.
