As Usual.

When the tariff went into effect
there was a feeling that at least we
were assured of cheaper clothing.
The prices of food might rise, but
with q lower tariff the prices OF
clothing would come down. But a
report is in circulation that all unbe-
known to everybody except the ex-
perts the sheep growers have been
reducing their flocks by selling off
all the lambs and the younger sheep
so that now we are really threatened
not only with a great decrease in the
mutton supply but also in the wool
supply. So after all the campaign
.oratory and platform pledges the vot-
er will pay as much as ever for his
clothes. And this is not an exception
to what is usually the case.

RUNDOWN WOMEN

Find Health in a Simple Tonic,
How many women do you know
who are perfectly well, strong and
healthy as a woman should be? They
may not be sick enough to lie in bed
but they are rundown, thin, nerv-
Gus, tired and devitalized. .
Women are so active nowadays,
and so much is expected of them,
that they constantly overdo and suf.
fer from headache, backache, nervous
ness and kindred ills.
Such women need Vinol, our deli.
cious cod liver and iron tonic with
out oil which will create an appetite,
tone up the digestive organs, make
pure blood and create strength.
Mrs. Walter Price, Biloxi, Miss,
says: II was in a rundown condition
for months, had taken several medi-
cines but they seemed to do me no
good Finally Vinol was recommend
ed, and froH the first bottle I began
to improve until am strong and well
as ever"
Try a bottle of Vinol with the IN
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.
P. S.-For pimples and blotches try
Dur Saxo Salve. We guarantee it.

BeauxIeSS Girls.

The following, which We find in
contemporary credited to an lex
change" tells why young men an(
women are focking to themselve'
these days:
Go into any theatre in any
large American city and note the
rows. of young women sitting to-
gether and the corresponding
groups of men. Why are they not
coupled off as in the smaller cit
les? Simply because the modern
girl has developed an extravaganza
that the young man refuses t,
stand for. She must have 81
seat; she expects a box of Amerl-
can beauties with it; if the wealth
err is bad a taxi is required, and II
her escort does not take her to
lobster palace after the show he is
regarded as a Cheap one.
1t explains why there are so many
single men and bachelor maids
these days. 1t costs too much to 20
the gaits of society, and with it all
the young folks do not have anything
like the real, wholesome pleasure
their parents had at the old-fashion
pound parties" Those were happy
days.

Women Gamblers.

Hugh S. Fullerton contributes an
interesting article to the American
Magazine for February on Gamblers
and Gambling" Few women says
Mr.. Fullerton, are good gamblers.
They are carried away and maddened
by the desire for gain, and bridge,
coming as a society game, reached
them. 1t has developed a class OF
female card sharps that furnishes the
police with a new problem. Chicago
police have listed nearly two score
clubs where women sharpers, some
backed by men gamblers, loot their
victims. The police despair of clos
ing them. as most Of them operate
under charity guises. There are at
least four Chicago women who make
a profession of bridge, specializing
in posing as society women in order
to play at the larger summer and
winter. resorts. The extent to which
gambling at bridge has spread among
women is alarming, but it is impos-
sible to secure statistics. There was
a suicide of a Chicago man not long
ago. after which it was learned his
wife had been losing from one hun
dred dollars to fifteen hundred dol
lars a week for more than year in
a friendly club"

Editor Dawson News: Anderson
Smith, negro mail carrier between
the Springvale, Ga, postothce ana
the railroad since the establishment
of the office to Dec. 18th last, left
last night to join those who are
faithful unto death" Because he is
the last of his type known in this
part of the country, for the beneht
of those of both races in this gener-
alton a short sketch of him will do
good. He with his brother, George
Wiley, moved to my fathers place in
1868. He, Essex Kitchens and Ming
Kiddoo were the only negroes in
Randolph county who never belong
ed to the Loyal League" and who
in 1868 deposited their first ballot
for the democratic presidential tick
ct, Seymour and Blair, and who new
err voted any ticket but that OF the
democratic party, and it took pc
culiar kind of courage to refuse to
join the Loyal League and to add to
what most negroes in those days re-
garded as the objectionable sin
that of voting with the democrats.
He was a house negro, reared by
Mrs. Smith of Stewart county to
whom as long as she lived he paid
yearly visit and never went without
taking something to 'Old Miss" The
onlv time j ever saw him weep was
when a grandson of of his old mis-
tress got into some trouble, and in
telling of it he cried and said: Il
know he amt guilty, for old Miss
raised him." During the 46 years /
knew him l never knew him to take
aught of anything that did not be-
long to him. He was scrupulOusly
honest in all things, and he was a
full-blooded negro, black as the ace
of spades, thus showing that mig
GER" as he called himself, can be
honest. He attributed this trait, as
all other good traits that he had, to
his "Old Miss" she taught me it
was a disgrace to lie and steal, and
I mustn't do it, for l would disgrace
her" He and his brother, George
Wiley, were polite to all white men,
but for a certain class of whites they
never could be induced to work. Once
in my boyhood when l asked them
why they never worked for certain
-well-to-do-th reply was
characteristic: Your pa don't go to
see them nor don't allow them to
come to see him, and old Miss
would not go to see his pa and his pa
never come to see old Miss. " Like
the whites reared in Stewart county,
Georgia, he thought folks who were
born and reared there, himself in
included, were better than others
reared elsewhere. Some years since
Rev. John T. Lowe was sent on this
work. When he heard of it he said
to me: you all has a good preach
er next year; he was reared in Stew
art county" He had the doctors liv-
ing around here when he needed one,
but when DR.. Patterson moved to
Cuthbert he advised me to send for
him if l needed one, ''as he come
from Stewart" This was patriotism,
and if every man, white or black,
had the same faith in his home as
this negro our homes would be bet
ter, and if everyone had the same
horror of disgracing the one who
raised them as he the world would
be better. His example of sturdy,
honest purpose to do as he saw right
is worthy of imitation by all Very
truly, ANDREW 2. XIV

NOT TO OUR CREDIT.

From Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
Georgia has many things over
which to feel good, but the growth
of illiteracy among our people is not
one of them. 1t is really to our
shame. The following facts have
been given out: The percentage OF
ilIiteracy has increased during the
last five years in fifty-one counties
of the state-more than One-third of
all the counties of the state. Our
educational work is not keeping pace
with our material development. II
this continues it requires no prophet
to tell what we are to reap in the
years to come.

EUGENICS

By Ralph Methvin Thompson.
You had better watch out, Cupid
Though you've held eternal sway
Since the time of Eve and Adam
Until, 10, the present day;
For a gang Of men and women,
Versed in some new-fangled fad,
Have resolved, in solemn judgment,
They will put you to the bad.
The disciples of eugenics,
And by scientific rules,
Have declared they will breed babies
AS the stockman does his mules;
And unless you change your tactics
You will ascertain, too late,
That your glory can be ended
By a health certificate.
You had better watch out, Cupid,
For the sophists are aroam,
And, it seems, they are determined
To commercialize the home;
And however they may reason
In the name of Him above
This old world would be as Eades
Without you-and without-loVe.

RENEWED INTEREST
IN TOLLS QUESTION
Committee From New York Cham
Der of Commerce Appears
in Washington
By Associatee Prets

Washington, d. c., April 17.--In-
terest in Congress in the proposed re-
peal of the exemption of American
coastwise vessels from the payment of
Panama Canal tolls, which had to
some extent waned during the past
rev days because of critical develop-
ments in the relations between the
United States and Mexico, was again
to-day largely focused upon the tolls
controversy which occupies the center
of the stage on the Senate side of the
Capitol. In the belief that the crisis
in the Mexican situation has now
passed, members of Congress to-day
showed renewed interest in the tolls
question. The Senate committee on
interoceanic canals continued to-day
its hearings on the subject. A com
mittee of the New York Chamber of
Commerce appeared before the COM
mittee and were ready to be heard.
AT the hearing to-day, Welding

exemption clause was a subsidy and
violated treaty obligations, and said
that his organization had voted for
repeal by 333 to 7.
Senator Bristow, opposinr epeal,
asked Mr.. Ring why, if Tolls are
charged through the Panama Canal.
they should not be charged for enter
ing New York and other harbors and
rivers on which large sums of money
have been spent. Senator Simmons
contended there was no discrimination
between American and foreign ships
coming to American ports and rivers.
