Dr. Greene states that it is impossible to operate an eleemosynary institution under certain amount, for there are certain comforts the cha, ges of the state must have. He would not con- sent to reduction which would low CT the standard of meals, or in the care of the insane, knowing that the work cannot be carried on successfully unless the patients are well cared for.
 Gov. Hays has the appreciation of every taxpayer in his efforts to econ omize, and to his determination to veto all unnecessary appropriations, and if he succeeds in getting the state out of debt in the next two years, he can have almost anything the people have to give.

it, for out of this condition there will be developed mental and a physical activity which will produce amazing results in the advancement of the life of the South.
 "I4et no one outside for a moment imagine that the South is in poverty or that the South will be halted in it's material advancement. The South is not in poverty. It is amazingly well off, and only temporarily has its fi- nancial strength been tied up by req son of it's inability to realize on one of the worlds best assets-a cotton crop that has for some years brought into this section a billion dollars or more year. This cotton is now be- coming like the stocks and bonds of Wall Street, tangible asset with which men are able to meet their ob- legations, giving to all ramifcations of business the inspiration needed to stir and quicken business life.
 Every business concern in this country that has been doing business in the South, or had expected to do business in that growing section, ought to recognize the situation and fully realize that the halting was but for a moment, and that out of this tempo rary crisis will come a greater, a more progressive, a more energetic and a richer South.
 "Every man in the South ought to draw new inspiration from the present conditions and have a stronger faith in his own section and in the way in which it can meet every emergency. Every man in this section with quick ened energy of mind and body should go forward with broader plans for the advancement of his own interests, whether they be agricultural commer- cial, financial or industrial.
 "The lesson taught by the effect of the war will be worth to the South many times it's cost. No one for a moment need be disturbed by the fact that temporarily the lesson was a somewhat drastic one. Every emer- gency met or every new crisis faced and conquered means broader man and broader country. The South has met the crisis; it has met the res possibility of the hour, and it will move forward to mightier achieve ments than six months ago would have been deemed possible to expect for years to come The voice of the awakening South is heard clear and distinct: Forward-March!"

C. N. SANNoH
Publisher Richmond Coaster" Waco, Texas, says that Grigby's LIV-YER-
 LAX cured him. Read his sta. euert.

Most people of sedentary occupa- tion such as Editors, Bookkeepers, of- flee employees, stenographers and others who spend the lives indoors are more subject to the ravages of malaria than those who take large amount of exercise out of doors.
 MT. Shannon devotes much of his time to writing and was great sui ferer from Bilious headaches until he took LIV-VER-LAX.
 On his own statement, this renown- ed remedy cured him, just as surely as it will cure you of Constipation or other malarial symptoms. These symptoms are the signals ahead of serious complications if not eliminat- ed.
 There is no compromise with ma laria. You must get it or it will get you. The ounce of prevention in the form of LIV-VER-LAX may save ev- en your life from Malaria, from which nearly every one in this climate suffers in greater or less degree, de- velops rapidly when it once gets a hold on your system.

STATE FINANCES By A. w. Parke

The one real thing that will bother ] the legislature of 1915 promises to be the finances of the State, and because of the determination of Gov c. w. Hays to retire the indebtedness of the X state, as evidenced by the General Re venue Fund, within the coming bien- nial period, will add to the complica- l ton.
 Estimates as to the total indebted ness at the close of the biennial period April l, vary to great extent, some claiming that the deficit in this fund will be $500 ,000 others, $S000,000; and |F. EppS Brown, of the State Tax Com mission places it at S1,100,000.
 The total revenue, from taxation at l the rate of l-4 mills, inheritance tax
 corporation and other taxes, for the past year that went to the General Revenue fund, is approximately $1,- SOOO0. The actual operating ex-
 pense of the state, not counting any lMng for new buildings, is about $96,-
 wO per month, or $1,132,000 per an-
 nun, balance being left in the Treas ury Of S240,O00 per annum if the com
 mg legislature does not exceed ap- Nopriations of the 1913 General As
 @mbly. At this rate the state could

The Democratic vote on the other

The most OF us are permitting our

Some dentists do not fill up cavities;
they merely fill over them, and IN
flled cavities make trouble.
Ill fitting and carelessly construct
ed gold crowns and bridgework are
particularly creators OF trouble. The
worst cases Of anaemia, gastritis and
nervousness are due to- or are aided
to by these gold traps.

The Reaper and the Flowers
TO THE MEMORY OF LITTLE
THELMA PARK.

HENRY W. LONGFELLow.
There is a aper whose name is Death
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at breath
And the flowers that grow between.
Shall have nought that is fair?
saith he
Have naught but the bearded grain?
Though the breath of these is sweet
Twill give them all back again.
He gazed at the flowers with fearful
~ eyes,
He kissed their drroping leaves;
1t was for the Lord OF Paradise
He bound them In his sheaves.
My Lord has need OF these flowerets
gay,
The Reaper said and smiled;
Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where he was once child.
They shall all bloom in fields Of light,
TranspIanted by my care,
And saints, upon their garments white
These sacred blossoms wear.
And the mother gave in tears and
pain,
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she should find them all
again
In the fields of light above.
o, not in cruelty, not In wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took the flowers away.
