a French scientist, DR.. Pierre
JACQUES, has examined a number of
kisses in which one of the most at
tractive mustaches in France had
PLAYED a part. After a careful analy-
sis it was found that these kisses
contained 500 bacilli to the cubic
millimeter. Kisses exchanged be-
tween the same persons after the re-
moval of the adorable mustache con-
tanned less than 100 of the objec-
tionable bacilli.
DR.. Jacques had the great advant-
age of being able to make the ex

daughter was engaged to an office
in the army who was the possessol
of a beautiful mustache. The docto

ANOTHER HAT IN THE RING.
From the Macon telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph
Thoughts of the long ago, of "Sox'
less" Jerry Simpson, of Mary Ellen
Lease and of the whirling of popu-
Iistic dervishes of the West in general
are induced by the news that "Cy-
clone" Davis is about to throw his
hat in the ring. The aging tornado
threatens to make the race for gov
ernor," according to the Fort Worth
(Tex) Record, which adds:
Hon. Cyclone Davis has corns on
his hands, bunions on his toes and
bells on his tongue.
He is a warbler from Warblers-
vile, and has made more speeches
on more sides of all public issues
than any peregrinating spellbinder
in public life.
He bleeds internally and exter-
nally at all times for the sodden
and the downtrodden.
He is as lean as Cassius and as
hungry as Caesar.
Demagogues seem to be gifted not
only with glib tongues but with re
markable staying powers. Lungs de-
veloped by cycIonic oratory are apt
to defy the years.

What the City Man Misses.

The man who lives all his life in
the city and dies among the man
made canyons of brick and stone
misses the eompanionship of dumb
animals. Perhaps it is not proper to
say that he misses their companion
ship, for in a sense a man doesn't
miss that which he knows moth
ing of.
To be denied the acquaintanceship
of cows and horses and pigs and
chickens and ducks is not a depriva-
ton to the man who does not know
the Joys of communion with the do
nestle animals and fowls that are
gathered together on the average
farm and village home. And yet it is
a fact that the man whose social in
tercourse is confined to men Of the
city has missed an influence that soft
ems and millifes the asperities of cit!
life. To the man of studious and
sympathetic temperament the dali,
doings of animals during their de
velopment from infancy to maturit
should be a source of never-endin
interest and wonderment.

GIFTS FOR PUBLIC MEN.

From the Savannah News.
1t is the fashion to send gifts to
governors and presidents, senators
and Representatives, in fact, to all
public men. Prize colIards, giant Gu
cumbers, huge turkeys, walking
sticks made of the wood of famous
trees, ink wells made of the metal of
sunken ships-all such things are
frequently sent to men in public life
by their admirers. Possibly it was in
accord with that practice that. a man
who took part in the dissection of
the negro Austin in Hampton county,
South Carolina, sent Governor Blease
one of the negro's thumbs nicely pre-
served in alcohol.

DoubIy HOnOred'

The dedication at Gainesville OF
last Tuesday of a monument to the
late Governor Allen D. Gambler calls
ia mind the fact that Georgia, as
rule. has done little to honor the
memory Of her deceased chief execu-
tives. Occasionally is a monument
erected to a deceased governor, and
now and then new Georgia coun-
tv is named III honor OF one OF
them, but history indicates that it is
the exception rather than the rule.
While those who were in the state
service with Governor Gambler as a
result of his appointment have erect
ed in his honor this shaft at his for
mer home other friends have chosen
his name for a new county which it
is proposed to create with Meter as
the county seat, and to be formed
from portions of Bulloch, Emanuel
and Tattnall. Although in common
with every successful politician he
had his enemies this double honor is
indicative of the general esteem in
which the rugged old commoner was
held.
1t is interesting, too, that the name
Gambler should have been selected
for a new county in the southern
section of the state, whereas Govern
or Gamblers home was in North
Georgia. There is every indication
that the people of Meter and the
surrounding territory will succeed in
establishing the justice of their claim
to a new county before the coming
Legislature, and that thus Gambler
county will become a new and i'm
portant political division of the state
In the creation of new counties
within the last ten years only two
have been named in honor of gov
ernors of Georgia-Stephens and
Jenkins. Alexander H. Stevens was
more than governor, and the honor
came not alone for that reason. Gov
ernor Jenkins figured prominently in
war history; he took the executive
seal of the state to Canada just as the
reconstruction period was about to
begin.

Shouting.

Editor Dawson News: l see one
misguided brother down cambridge
way is rejoicing because he heard re-
Gently 1.-The old-time Methodist
shout" I say misguided advisedly,
for so good an authority as the late
Lovick Pierce said 'the regular
shouter never paid and the regular
payer never shouted" and related
the following ancedote to prove his
/ position: "At the Muscogee camp
meeting an old fellow noted for his
penuriousness occupied the front
bench, and about the middle of the
sermon would begin to shout, re-

and it hasn't cost me but quarter.

and put it in his pocket" Of course

good men shouted, but it took some
thing like the reformation of an in

point There used to attend Capers
Chapel an old fellow-we will call
him Joe, because he had no in his
name, and this will disguise him.
He was converted regularly about
the second day of the protracted
meeting and got drunk and was turn
ed out as soon as he sold his first
bale of cotton. Old Uncle Johnnie
Moreland shouted the first three con-
versions Joe INDUCED in, but after
that my Uncle Frank Cooke, who told
it, said Uncle John quit shouting over
Joe and sought some more promising
convert.
Three good men, deacons, used to
belong to Bethel church, in Ran
dolph county-the given names are
given and their friends can pick them
from them. One was silent man,
but versed in the deep things of
God" because he knew both God and
His word. There being a dearth of
leaders the pastor asked Frank to
lead the prayer meeting. I have
heard Warren and Battle and Tucker
among the Baptists and the two
Pierces and Munsey among the Meth

things and showing the relation of
God, sin and salvation for lost

that struck deeper than Franks 20

by tie pastor, his reply has abided

likes to pray; Newt can and likes to

Repentance will be insisted on by
professional evangelists, who will
cover rural Georgia like the locusts
covered Palestine, and with the same
results as to religion as laid down in
the Book that the Iocusts had on the
agriculture of Palestine, but it will
need the Franks and the John More
lands to save religion from disrepute
and keep the pastors paid, and we
should be thankful that their tribe
is increasing and not mourn over the
decrease of the "shouter." His kind

of God and the good of men, but the

TO MAKE YOUR TOWN GROW.
From the Hartwell Sun.

From the Hartwell Sun.
There are two ways in which bust
ness men and property owners can
become more prosperous. The first
method is by pushing at their own
business with all their might. That
is always necessary.
The second method is by so unit
ing with other merchants to make
their town grow that all existing
property owners and business plants
become more prosperous through the
growing value of real estate and the
growing volume of trade that results
from a larger population.
Both these methods of expansion
are needful. The men who adopt the
first method only soon find that they
are up against Il blank wall. They
find that there is about so much trade
in town. They may get some Of
it way from their less hustling neigh
bors. But when these neighbors
wake up and see their trade dwind-
ling if they make special inducements
and show good judgment in advertis-
ing they get their old customers back.
The general pull for town better
ment permits every business man to
grow without trenching on his neigh
boris business. Thus it avoids those
bitter rivalries that occur where re-
tail traders are scrambling for the
same customers without effort to Gre
ate a wider market in which all shall
share alike. -

A School of Country Life.

One of the most interesting expert
ments ever undertaken in this
country is the establishment at the
Peabody College of Teachers at Nash
Vile of a school that will devote IT.
self entirely to the promotion OF
country life. 1t will be established
as a memorial to the late DR.. Seaman
A. Knapp of the federal department
of agriculture, who endeared himself
to the people of this section, espe-
ciaIly, through his work in behalf Of
the Boys Corn Club and other
movements looking to the improve
ment of rural conditions,
Aside from paying a deserved trib-
ute to a public benefactor the school
promises to fulfill a distinctly useful
mission. For years the press, pulpit
and public forum has bemoaned the
tendency of the land-owning people
and the tenants of the rural districts
as well to leave the farm and go to
the city. 1t is to checkmate this
tendency that this School of Country
Life is to be established. 1t will
make a careful study of all the prob
lens involved in rural life, teaching
better farming, better business meth
DDS on the farm, and better living in
the rural homes in the hope of max
ing them more attractive to the
young men and women who are now
becoming Disconnected with the mar
row scope of enjoyment and satisfac-
ton afforded by the rural life of to-
day
1t is proposed to study and circu-
late the best methods of growing GER
tain plants, determine what plants |
are adapted to certain climates and /
soils, devise the best system of buy
ing lands and equipping the farms,
as well as the best system of purchas-
ing the equipments and farm sup
plies, make a careful study of farm
credits and taxation as it affects the
farmer, and how to make the homes
more beautiful as well as the commu-
nifty life more attractive.
The problem of rural life is the
biggest one confronting the American !
people today. The question of the
high cost of living and many more |
problems affecting the moral, social
and economic welfare of the whole |
people are directly involved in max
ing the farm and rural life so at
tractive and remunerative that young
people will come to look upon a ca
reer on the farm with more favor |
than one in the crowded cities. Such
an accomplishment is we'll worth |
while, and constitute the chief aim
of the Knapp School of Country Life
Friends of DR.. Knapp and the work |
he did for the Southern people are
to be given an opportunity to assist |
in equipping this school.
