Not until one leaves home does he
really appreciate the value of the
home paper. That distance Lends en-
chantment is clearly proven in this
case. When a man pulls up stakes
and shakes the dust Of his old home
from his shoes to seek pastures new,
he has a hankering to know What is
going on in the old home. It is
then he appreciates the little old
country paper that had always made
weekly visit to his home, but which
he had heretofore looked upon as a
mere circumstance in the whirlpool
of life. It's weekly visits to him
are like a spring shower upon parch-
ed fields. They leave the mind re
freshed by telling of the movements
and actions of those who We're at
one time his neighbors. Truly the
home paper is not appreciate until
we go where it is hard to get. The
home paper is always a welcome
visitor when the reader is away. He
reads all the advertisements, even
the patent medicines, and never lays
the sheet down until he has entire
Iy absorbed its contents. There are
ties connecting US with the old home
paper which the hand Of time can
never entirely sever.

Every member of a community ana
especially every parent should take
deep interest in the public school,
1t is not enough to pay your school
tax without complaining, or to know
that the teachers are qualified, nor is
it even enough to keep your chill
dren in school regularly. If you are
really interested in the subject as
you should be, you should visit the
school regularly and persistently.
Few people have any idea what an
incentive it is to both teacher and
scholar to know that parents and
outsiders are taking a lively inter
est in their work.

Of the Wisconsin Postmasters' AS

are not using the parcel post as
much as it was expected they would.
They prefer to go to town rather
than trust their produce to the new
method of delivery. Then perhaps
they want tc go 10 town to make
their own purchases, for it must be
conceded that while the farmer has
been slow to take advantage of the
parcel post the average merchant in
the medium sized city has not risen
to his opportunity either. AS evi-

BILL TO HELP GOOD ROADS
SENATOR SMITH INTRODUCES 4
MEASURE IN CONGRESS-.
Appropriation Would Be Limited tc
$40, 100000 Annually and Georgia
Would Receive $75O,OOO.

Observation-Disclosures Smith OF
Georgia has introduced in the senate
a bill for an initial appropriation to-
ward federal aid to the good roads
movement. The bill would appropri-
ate 100000 to be expended by
the secretary of agriculture in coop
Grafton with the states in the co!l-
struction and maintenance of post
roads.
A similar bill was introduced in
the house by Congressman Shackle-
ford, chairman of the new committee
on roads of the lower body, and ii
is apparent that Senator Smith and
Congressman Shackleford are in nc
cord upon prospective legislation at
the regular session which will begin
the work of upbuilding the roads.
The good roads fight in congress
will doubtless concentrate around
the Smith Shackleford bill, which is
the opening wedge to a system OF
cooperation between federal and
state governments for better high
ways
The work, the bill contemplates,
shall be along the lines of illustra-
ton and demonstration, tO make
tests and show what can be accom-
plished in the most economical way
toward improving the average roads
of the country. The second para
graph of the bill is similar to the bill
which passed the house last congress
but was defeated in the senate.
Senator Smiths bill is planned
with a view especially of aiding in
the improvement of what is known
as roads of Glass c, which is the best
class country road, as distinguished
from the high class macadam road,
and of encouraging the improve
ments of roads of that character all
over the United States. The appro-
priation is limited to $20,000,00O an
and of this amount, accord
ing to the plan of distribution, about
S750,000 would be assigned toward
road improvement in Georgia.
The plan of distribution follows
that of the former house bill, and is
based Iron the use of the roads for
r raj routes and Lpon thu cond.t. On
Of the roads so used.
y number of tho objections to the
ST. ackleford bill made in the senate,
are met in the modified bill now in
ttoduced.

able, preferably something warm, hot
milk being the best as it is both
strengthening and stimulating.
Beer, as we know, is dangerous,
ruinous beverage. Some say it is
nutritious. How false. Liebig shows
that one must drink % barrels of
it to set as much nutriment as there
is in pounds loaf of bread
1t has been proved that alcohol
partly paralyzes the white blood
cells, which are the natural defense
of the body from disease. 1t is the
work of these white blood cells to
destroy disease germs, but alcohol
makes them drunk, so they are una
BILE to do their work properly. There
fore, a person who uses liquor is
more liable to disease and more slow
in recovering from it than an alb
stainer.
1t has been shown by experiments
that wines ara beer make digestion
much slower. These drinks contain
other substances in addition to alcO-
hol which have an injurious effect
upon digestion. DR.. Chittenden of
Yale University found that very
small quantities of claret, sherry and
lager beer make digestion slower.

WAGON LOAD OF SINNERS.
Randolph Officers Haul in Large Lot
of Country Gamblers.

The Cuthbert Leader reports that
Sunday a wagon containing twelve
! negroes caught in the act of gam
bling in the lower portion Of Ran
dolph county near Edwards store
arrived in Cuthbert and were placed
in Jail
For some time, the Leader says,
it las been the custom 81 number
of negroes in that locality to meet
in the woods Saturday night and
spend the night and portion of Sun
day in drinking, gambling and ca
rousing generally. Their noise dis
turbed the neighbors for some dis
lance away.
At last the white people decided to
put a stop to this lawless and an
moving practice, and officers and a
posse made a raid on the bunch en-
gagged in playing skin and consuming
mean liquor While a number were
bagged three or four times as many
are said to have disappeared in the
tall timber. The woods were full of
negroes before the raid
The one dozen SINNERS had a com
mitment trial before Judge Walden.
Every one was bound over on 500
bond, and two of them who were
found to have pistols on their per-
sons were required to furnish each
another 500 bond. White men
signed their bonds and all were re-
leased.
