SHOULD NOT BE
SENT STATE FARM
County Misdemeanor Prisoners Are
Taken to Penitentiary at Great
Expense to State.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Governor Slaton
and the prison commission are anx-
ious to find some means to lessen the
number of short-term convicts be-
ing sent to the state prison farm at
a great expense to the state, and
probably the law will bye changed to
obviate this condition.
Many prisoners sent up for only
two months are going to the farm at
Milledgeville, where at this season
especially there is little for them to
do. There are now 500 prisoners at
the farm, whereas there were a few
years ago only about 800. A guard
must be sent with every convict and
the state must pay railroad fares and
other expenses. The governor be-
lieves that such prisoners should go
direct to the road gangs and a part
of the expense be saved, but change
in the law will be necessary before
this can be done.

EXSHERIFF NOW HEDGES
WHEN HE FINDS BIBB COUNTY
GAME WARDEN is AFTER HIM.
Quits Proud Boosting of Deer 'We''
Killed, and Yields All the Honor
to His COmrade ON Hunt.

MACON, Ga.-Yesterday George
B. Robertson, former Bibb county
sheriff, was proudly boasting that he
and P. w. Stubs had killed fine
buck deer in the swamps below Ma
con. Today, however, when it be-
came known that Deputy Game War
den Conner was preparing to prose
cute the two farmers for violating
the game law by killing a deer out
given by Mr.. Robertson.
"No, sir, not on your life; I didn't
kill that deer. 1 was only in the par
ty Murray Mclean was the man
that killed it, was the explanation
given by Mr.. Robertson over the tele-
phone from his country home
Mr.. Mclean proudly admitted his
prowess with the rife, but this was
before he learned that in killing the
deer he had violated the law. Since
that he apparently has gone out and
gotten in a hole and pulled the hole
in after him.
It seems that a party of farmers
living below Macon had gone into the
woods to look for cattle and hogs to
keep them from being drowned, the
river having overlooked. They took
their guns along to kill rabbits and
other game. Mclean strayed away
from the others and suddenly came
upon the buck. II just couldn't re-
sist the temptation to shoot" he said
Thoughts of violating the law never
entered my mind

The reams of paper that are used
up each month in articles in the daily
weekly and monthly pa
pers-on beauty culture are conclus-
i've evidence that it is as natural for
man to desire to beautify the person
as it is ito indulge in the illusions
of hope" A sound mind in sound
body suffices the serious-minded but
apparently the innumerable MAORI
ty, if they had their way, would have
a comely body and take their chances
on any old kind Of mind, on the
principle that it is better to be good
looking than wise, because more PEG
pie have sight than understanding.
To decorate and beautify the body is
an inborn passion; the savage does
il differently from US, but when it
comes to the many manipulation5
and wrinkles, giving the eyebrows an
aristocratic arch, coaxing the lashes
to be long and langourous, making
the ears pink aud small or the nose
straight and thin, removing double
chin or taking the core out Of the
Adams apple We have nothing on
orr uncivilized and supposedly more
ignorant brothers. The hair in par
ticular is the object of all mankind S
cosmetic endeavors. When it comes
TO civilized man he is universe lIy
engaged in trying to save what ne
has left or regrOw what he mas Iost.
Women, with few exceptions, do not
become bald, but all women, IN their
opinions, are threatened with that
calamity; men not only
NAV get bald but large number or
them are already so. And thus the
nopu1ar remedies for the hair need

Vibratory and electrical treatments,
hair tonics that feed the hair roots
as though they grew out OF the scalp
like broom-sedge out of an old neld'

their futile trials. Among these our
particular topic now is smuggling the
hair This is recommended to over

prevent falling of the hair, the rea-
son for the latter being that it closes
the nores and keeps the fluid in the

gotten the meaning of kindness was
BELL Tree" Smith, who was kno WI
throughout the country near Cedar
town His large still, hidden in the
hills, worked as methodically as
though it were licensed and regulated
by the government. But no officers
ever happened by it. The reason was
simple enough No man in all the
country had the temerity to inform
on BELL Tree" Smith.
The fellows name came from the
fact that he hung a huge bell in a
tree and directed all who wanted
whiskey to ring the bell AMI leave the
money beneath it. Not daring to
look behind they walked away, and in
half an hour returned to find the
whiskey where the money had been.
1t is said that BELL Tree" had
three or four wives; that he had been
guilty of ruthless murder, and that
to arouse his temper was foolhardy.
No man in North Georgia but dread
ed him. Yet in the end he was kill
ed by an inoffensive farm hand who
became a killer in sudden flame of
fear.
Famous MOOnshiners.
An all day singing had been held
at little church near Borden
Wheeler, and in returning a quarrel
broke out among the Worshipers. The
mild fellow was chosen as the most
convenient object of violence. He
was kicked and cuffed about. In wild
west fashion BELL Tree" began to
shoot at the fellows feet to make
him dance. Then the fellow went
mad with terror He stopped, and
as he rose he held in his hand a huge
rock. He whirled his missile about
his head, Strengthened out his right
arm like a pitcher, and the rock went
true. Bell Tree" never spoke again.
The other mountaineer, whom
many loved as much as they hated
Smith, was Joshua Flanagan. He
hadaa wit that went with his tongue,
and was known far and wide for his
repartee. He was on trial before
Judge Emory Speer.
Your name is Joshua?" asked
Judge Speer.
Eyes, SIR replied the prisoner.
"You are the man who made the
sun stand still, are you?" asked the
judge.
"No, sir" returned the prisoner as
quick as a flash, "I'm the man who
made the moon shine"

Rejects Proposition For Government
to Lease Ships to Corporations.
WASHINGTON.-After four hours
of debate the caucus rejected Senator
Hoke Smiths amendment to provide
that the government lease it's ships to
private concerns, instead of operat-
ing them by a government controlled
corporation. 1t likewise rejected a
compromise suggestion that the gov
eminent operate the ships during the
European war and lease them to pri-
vate corporations thereafter.
Chairman Kern announced after
the caucus that two-thirds of the
democrats had voted for the resolu-
ton to make the bill a party meas
ure. Several democrats, however,
were not present when that action
was taken Among absentees were
Senators Vardaman, Hardwick, Cam
den and O'Gorman. Some of their
colleagues said they believed those
senators, with probably one excep-
ton, would vote vote for the bill.

you can do anything" is the title
appropriate to this time of keeping
new resolutions, employed to Illus
trate the belief that y reading OF
what persons have done in this world
inspires the feeling that any one can
do anything who sets his heart to it
and then goes to work at it. The il
Illustration is of an Oklahoma Indian
woman who is now called a cattle
queen" She is rs years old and
lives in a simple home surrounded
by flowers and noisy children of her
own and numerous adopted children.
She is worth $250,0O0, which is we'll
invested, and she enjoys her, declin-
ing years amid peace and plenty.
And she is not one of those Indian
heirs to land and oil riches which
the white men in Oklahoma are try
ing to steal, if reports are correct.
AS a baby she was adopted by the
Usage Indians. She spent a few
years in the government schools,
married young, bore fifteen children,
who are all living, while she, well
into the middle life, had no re-
sources. She took in washing and
spent long days at the tub. But she
noted the fertile prairies and saw cat
tie shipped there every year by Texas
cattlemen to Craze. This started with
her the question why she, too, could
not raise cattle. But the problem of
getting the first COW seemed to be
superhuman. No longer able to wash
she took in sewing and lived like a
Spartan as to food and clothes. So,
cent by cent, she saved enough to
buy cow and calf. But it was many
years before she could do more than
buy at retail thus. She noticed, how
ever, that the cattlemen did things in
a large and wasteful way. When
their COWS died on the prairie they
left the motherless calves to die, too,
for want of attention. She got per-
mission to adopt all the motherless
calves that she could find, and day
after day rode over the prairies gath
ering them in, where she nursed and
fed them until they were raised to
full grown.
The next thing any one knew was
that this Indian woman. no longer
young and all alone, owned three
thousand cattle. People found that
she had learned to drive sharp bar
gain; knew how to winter her stock
better than most people, and how to
get the animals to market in better
condition than most others could.
They found, too, that she was send
ing her cattle to the big cities in $1O,-
600 punches every year and was
turning most of the money back into
the herd. So they began to call her
the "cattle queen" When she reach
ed this stage of prosperity she in
dulged in her hobbies, which were
flowers and children, and she filled
her house and grounds with them.
Some of the children were waits
from orphan asylums; Others were
of distant kin. All were well cared
for and educated

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is we'll founded. Their tender little 'insides' are injured by them.
 If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only de- licious California Syrup of Figs" Its action is positive, but gentle. Mil lions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow.
 Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot tie of "California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for bagies, children of all ages and for grownups plainly on each bottle. Beware of commercials sold here. See that it is made by "California Fig Syrup Com pany' Refuse any other kind with contempt.
