Bank Accounts.

A bank account is not a thing OF
beauty, but it is very present help
in time of trouble.
A bank account is an Insulation
between misfortune and hunger, be-
tween no work and no shoes a:id
between old age and the poorhouss.
Putting money into the bank ia
one of the least fascinating of occu-
pations. But drawing it out when
you haven't any other means of get
ting it is as pleasant as having 1t
wished on you by rich uncle.
A bank account is on land what
life preserver is at sea. Many a
man who has been compelled in the
interests of his own self-respect to
tell his employer to go to thunder
and points south has floated along
on his bank account until he could
find a new job where they did not
put all the honesty in the business
on placards to hang on the wall.
A bank account is as good as two
doctors in time of sickness. Many a
doctor has emptied gallons of assert
ed medicines into a worrying man
with little effect and has exclaimed
in despair that the man had no con-
stitution. But that was not the
trouble. The man had no bank &C
count and the grocer was beginning
to take off his politeness when the
wife came in to give an order. Ii
the doctor had emptied 500 into
the patient bank account his appe-
tite would have come back in three
days. Still we cannot expect doc
tors to do this when their rate pei
visit is only 50 and gasoline is going
up every day.
A bank account is a bull dog on
the front porch in wolf time and in
old age it is rosy sunset. Still a
good many men do not like to put
money in the bank because the bank
er will use it and get rich. So they
deposit it in the saloon and on
restaurant in exchange
for dyspepsia and large, permanent
thirst. These men are the real So
cialists. Because later on, when they
die, they compel us to divide up and
pass a little money over to their
wives and children.

1t appears that South Carolina is
going to lose Blease. The News
holds no brief for the Palmetto State,
but we believe a guess that the en-
tire commonwealth will rejoice
would not be far from accurate.
Governor Blease is perhaps not SO
bad as he has been painted, but he
is bad enough, goodness knows. and
it is unbelievable that he has been
rejecting the intelligence and patrl-
otism of the state in those many and
various actions which have made his
name a by-word.

The Frank Case.

In the Frank case the defendant
4has been denied a new trial, and this
has served to start anew the discus
sion, pro and con, as to the inno-
cence of the factory superintendent
who is alleged to have done to death
little Mary Phagan. 1t is highly
probable that no one except Frank
himself and the real murderer-pro
yided the real murderer was not
-Frank-will ever know just how the
child came to give up this life.
In many respects this criminal
case is one of the most peculiar in
the law annals of Georgia. The evil
.dence against the condemned man is
entirely and peculiarly circumstan-
tial. There is no positive proof that
ne is guilty or that he is innocent.
1t is one of those instances of where,
if a man is convicted at all, he must
be convicted solely upon the force of
environing circumstances. Some
men, sitting as jurors, will not con-
vict upon circumstantial evidence;
others will, provided the circum-
stances are sufficiently convincing
: and of an unbroken chain.
Out of all the maze of conflicting
testimony and public excitement one
thing appears to stand out clearly
and indisputably, and that is that the
entry of Detective William J. Burns
into the camp of the defendant has
instead of aiding his cause, injured
it and injured it materially con
summation unlocked for and start
ling, especially to Frank himself
The denouement has unquestionabl.
detracted from the traditional Burn
prestige, and, in Georgia at least, TIL
famous sleuth will never again De re
garded with the breathless aw
Which the very name has been won

FAITHFUL DOG BURNS TO
DEATH IN MOULTRIE FIRE
Firemen Make Effort to Get Dog
Out, But Refused to Come Out
of Burning Building.

Outs OuO AeCANoO0 w OOAhAO Oe~O
of Burning Building.
A faithful house dog was burned
to death in a spectacular fire that
destroyed the home of L. W. Kirk,
located in South Moultrie.
Great volumes of twisting smoke
laced with burning embers shot high
into the air while the flames spread
out so far that the large green syc-
amore trees in the yard were burned
almost to the ground.
The residence was completely de-
stroyed in a few minutes and was
doomed before the fire department
reached the scene of the confiagra-
ton.
Practically nothing was saved
from the residence, and one pathetic
incident connected with the fire was
the refusal of the dog owned by the
family to leave the home in time to
escape incarceration.
An effort was made to make the
dog leave the building, but it proved
futile, and when the flames reached
him the howls of pain were pitiful.

THE "SURE CURE" CRAZE.

From the Savannah News.
The Friedman so-called cure for
tuberculosis seems to haze been given
its death blow by a recent report OF
the New York city health depart
ment, which shows that of the forty
seven patients who were given the
Friedman treatment and could be
found by the department not one has
been cured, twelve have died, TWEEN
ty-two are in hospitals, six are at
home and seven are attending elm
les. The report concludes with;
Comment is unnecessary. The fig
ures tell their own story"
And yet the next ''cure" that ap-
pears will be as eagerly greeted by
the overlapping sufferers. What a
pitiable thing it is to tell them they
can be cured by following a certain
treatment when it cannot help them
at all.
In this connection it is of interest
to note that the public health service
has issued a warning against pella-
gra cures that have been appear
ing recently. They have been analyz-
ed by the government analysts and
pronounced worthless. No new
'cure" for any such terrible disease
as tuberculosis or pellagra should
be trusted until it has the stamp of
approval of the public health service
or some equally respected medical
authority.
