father from the boy Harry, and which
until now she had not consented to
part with. The sum she received for
1t was very small, but 1t would leave
her a few niCkels after paying car
fare to the distant Oxford place adj
dress. The neat maid who opened the
door of the big stone house did not
conceal her surprise as Angy asked for
Mrs. Eads.
Mrs. Eads has been dead almost
year" explained the maid.
ooh, please pardon me-" stammered
Angy, 'but this message must have
been long delayed. Is her son here?
The message can be given to him."
Angy was admitted to the warm
hall, and a few minutes later q tall,
broad-shouldered young man appeared
in the wide doorway of the library. In
the sem-darkness of the great house
she delivered the package and ex-
planned how and when it came into
her possession.
"You are wonderfully kind to come
at once" The young mans hands
trembling and his voice husky as he
finished reading the note. "I've made
a dozen searches for the ring, but had
given up finding It, Poor mother must
have kept 1t near her heart as long as
she lived. l felt that she'd like her
clothing to go to those who could use
it, and so l had the housekeeper send
lot of it to that committee. I wish
knew how to thank you enough"
"But you've already done so much
for me by sending the things that
mother needed so. Daddy always said
that blessings and sorrows were made
to be shared, but"
wait! Surely there was only one
man who said it just that way" The
young man was looking hard at Angy
now. SIS it really Angy Lane2 Can
it be?" Angy's surprised affirmative
brought this further exclamation ::
"And am Harry, Angy. When I came
home from college last summer l went
to see your father, but all the people
could tell me was that he had died and
that you and your mother had moved
away. Has the world been good to
you, Angy" Then for the first time
since they had recognized each other
both of them remembered how they
had been brought together. There
were tears in the eyes Of both as Har-
rison Eads, whom Angy had known
before only as Harry, led her into the
sunny breakfast room. "Sit here and
have q cup of coffee, and then we'll
talk everything over" he said quietly,
as he placed.a chair for her across the
table from where his own unfinished
breakfast awaited his return.
In talking everything over there was
so much to say and so many times
to say "and do you remember" that
1t was nearly noon before either of
them knew it. When Angy started
home she was in a big limousine be-
side Harry, with fur robe tucked all
about her. When they went together
into her mothers room, there were
"do you remembers" all over again, un.
til Harry's deep but trembling voice
told the mother that he and Angy had
agreed to share all their blessings and
sorrows as long as they lived, includ
ing the joy of having her with them as
their mother. AS proof, he pointed tc
the old-fashioned ring he had placed
on AnRy's finger.

TWO Rail BABIES"
LOOK LIKE TOYS, BUT ARE cAPA-
BILE OF GOOD WORK.
Designed for Special Use, Chiefly in
Tunnels and Other Underground
Enterprises-Can Use Crude
Oil, DstiIlate or Gasoline.

Abnormal size always appeals to the
IMAM in the street." The construction
of locomotive that breaks the record
for bulk and strength is always con-
sidered noteworthy; yet some of the
most interesting and valuable of the To-
connective tribe are not abnOrmally
large, remarks the Literary Digest.
They may be as small as the engines
that puff their way about most amuSe-
ment parks with a trainlOad of chill
dren and nurses on behind, and yet be
by no means insignificant. Among
these are such as are used for the OPP
Grafton of narrOw-gauge construction
railroad systems. Two interesting
types are described in an article con-
tributed to Engineering News. One is
really, to all appearance, locomotive
in miniature; the other, of which prob
ably more general use is made in all
sorts of underground construction
work, bears more of a resemblance to
small automobile than to the tradi-
tiOnal iron Steed of the railroad. The
technical description of the latter is of
"geared locomotive having high
pressure vertical tubular boiler and
using fluid fuel" 1t is especially
adapted for the toughest work, and is
fitted with long, elliptical springs that
absorb almost any jar to which it can
be subjected. OF it's other features
the writer says, in substance:
The engines can use crude Oil, dis
tillate or gasoline, the last being en-
ployed in tunnel work on account of
the heavy fumes from the oil. The
boiler is the feature of the machine.
1t is designed for 60G-pound pressure,
the shell and lower head being made
Of one piece of pressed steel, which
in turn is REINFORCED by a ring
welded around each end and by a
wrapping of three layers of piano
wire. These boilers have been test
ed to 2,200 pounds by hydraulic pres
sure without failure.
These locomotives have been used
during the last three years in some
Of the tunnels for the Catskill aque-
duct New York water supply, on
the Lexington avenue subway in New
York and on sugar plantation work.
AS to the use and manufacture of
the real baby loComotives-thos that
bear the look of midget copies of the
big felloWs-we are informed as fol-
lows:
"In the construction of the new
plant of the Baldwin locomotive
works at Eddystone, Pa, an interest
ing feature was the use of a very
small steam locomotive, and this en-
CINE has since been employed in OPP
! Grating the industrial railroad sys-
. TEN at that plant. 1t was built by
the company for it's own use, but
similar engines have been built for
other work. 1t is a four-wheel sad
dle-tank engine, and weighs only
11,700 pounds. The railroad is Il
twO-foot gauge, with curves of 16-
foot radius.
THE engine is of ordinary design,
in miniature, but the cylinders have
a rather long stroke in proportion to
their diameter. The Baldwin steam
brake is applied to all the wheels,
and at each end is a radical drawbar
with automatic coupler"

depressing season which follows the
inflated Christmas trading. On the
first moderate day within weeks
Angy was walking down a bust
ness street looking for work when
she saw a long line of pale, starved
looking people waiting their turn to
enter a large building in tempo
rary use as a distributing point for
food and clothing contributed by the
citys well-to-dO citizens in response
to an appeal from q relief committee.
In the doorway stood big policeman.
Angy passed shudderingly by, think
ing that not even for her sick moth
er's sake could she become one Of that
cline" Then she remembered that for
her mothers sake she must not go
home until she had secured either
work or food, and she knew that her
mother actually needed warm gar
mentS. Illness had frightened upon her
mother just when the business depres-
sion had taken Angy'S position from
her, and it had been a hard fight to
get enough money for the necessary
food and medicine and rent. She
thought of how they had once lived
so happily In the suburban cottage
where her father had mended musical
instruments and tended their pretty
garden, and had sent her with gifts
of flowers or fruit or her mothers
good chicken broth to many humble
home anu TO some quite pretentious.
Blessings and sorrows were made to
be shared" had been a favorite saying
of her fathers, and as she remembered
the quaint philosophy Of his gentle
life, Angy determined to let her veal
thier fellows share their blessings with
her and her mother. She deliberately
turned back and took her place at the
end of the waiting line Of women.
AS she stood waiting her turn to
enter the building, she recalled the
handsome, laughing boy they had
known only as Harry, who used to
come with his violin to be mended or
strung, and who always went away
wearing some flower from their gar
den. Sometimes he had brought them
rare flowers from his mothers large
garden, where a real gardener kept
everything in formal order.
"Some warm clothes for my mother
and a little food" was Angy's timid
response to the inquiry of the moth
erly woman at the head of the big
distributing counter inside the build
ing.
This box seems to have been just
meant for you" smiled the lady, as
she held out large pasteboard box

Mothers Shoulders.
containing a dOwny gray kimono,
knitted shawl and slippers and some
stockings and underwear. At another
counter Angy received packages of
coffee, bread and bacon. Then she
hurried to her mother, wondering how
she could introduce the various things
gradually enough to prevent the real
source Of such plenty being suspected
"Hear the good news, mother /" she
exclaimed cheerily. "The snow is be-
ginning to melt at last. And see the
good things to eatV" AS she spoke she
spread the packages before the rheu-
matte cripple's surprised eyes.
'How good that coffee smellsw ex-
claimed her mother.
"And soon you shall taste! Oh,
we're going to have regular game Of
the five senses, for you're going to feel
sopethlng good, too, pretty soon."
With many a gay hint, but no direct
statement, about where it came from,
she held the soft kimono before her
mother and as she stepped behind the
chair to spread the warm garment over
her mothers shoulders, she felt in Its
inner pocket small package. Fear
ing 1t might tell story, she removed
1t to her own apron pocket. After
supper was over and her mother sound

BRYAN OUR GUEST.

William Jennings Bryan will be the
guest of the people of Cordele Monday
evening upon the invitation OF the To-
cal chapter. Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution. By special request
he will deliver his lecture, The
Prince OF Peace" More than the us
ual arrangements have been made for
his coming. He is to be accorded 4
warm reception by the entire commun
ity and his lecture will doubtless be
heard by the greater number of res
idents here
His high station in public affairs
long ago made Mr. Bryan a national
figure and he is an American known
around the world. He has been SO
long in the public eye that every man
woman or child who can read knows
-airly well his public career.
Since he comes to speak, and since
he is accredited as one of the nation :
most gifted orators, the time spent in
hearing him will mean edifcation tC
every person. The ladies' who bring
him here are especially proud OF theil
undertaking and they believe the com
munity will derive much good from the
visit OF the Great Commoner

MOVING THE CAPITOL.

There is a bunch of business men
in Macon who are beginning to put
some real punch in the capitol remov-
al campaign. If the thing is in Our
mind correctly, the success of the plan
is wholly question of we'll executed
effort on the part of the people of Ma
con. BY all means they should get
the question before the people Of the
state.
1t is true, we are in a section of the
state where it is a general wish that
the capitol be brought to Macon. 1t
would spell convenience Of the high
est type for Cordele and Crisp and ad-
joining. counties. 1t would not only
save time and money for those who
have to go to the state capitol often,
but it would put the people all over
this section a hundred miles nearer
the point where all state business is
transacted. The citizen who has not
considered this, has no idea of the
great advantages it will give all cen
trail and south Georgia.
Seriously, we are in for it. 1t is not
a joke in this neck of the woods. All
the people need is a chance to show at
the polls what they think of it. Ma
con opposition covers only north Geor-
g;a doubtless, and the way central and
south Georgia can outvote Atlanta and
north Georgia is a caution.
But Macon's immediate fight will
come in the effort to get the question
before the people. If the legislative
measure can be put through, the time
is opportune. 1t will be well to strike
now with every determination to get
the legislature to give Macon a chance
before the people.

HOMES FOR RURAL TEACHERS.

The National Lumber Manufacture
ers Association is adopting plan to
build homes for all the country school
teachers of America. This is one of
the largest industrial organizations on
the American continent and it is well
able to do what it undertakes, but
this thing will require the greatest
outlay of money to one cause the
country has known in years. 1t is
enough to raise the question: What has
gotten into the ranks of this big or
ganzation?
1t is stated in connection with the
announcement that this plan contem-
plates an early start in Georgia and
many of the Georgia rural teachers
will be among the first to enjoy the
benefits of the home building cam
paign. The Rockefeller Foundation
has already given $4,000 to the move
ment and, it is said, intends to give
more.
The announcement carries with it
the statement that in few weeks full
details will be given that will be need
ed at their disposal and they are the
people for this big undertaking.
They believe that their plan will
give the rural communities better
teachers, for they intend to build
homes that will be comfortable and
inviting. A good home for the rural
teacher will mean better rural school
every time and the lumbermen be-
lieye they can do more for the rural
schools in this movement than has
ever been done before. Their effort
will meet wide approval The propo-
siton seems too good to be true.

LET EN- TAKE A POSITION.

Somebody's all the time wanting
the candidates to take a position on
the Giving issues" Of the day. Some
body is all the time calling for more
pep. Some newspaper is every day
wanting more noise, and snap, and
platform from the candidate.
We suggest that the candidates eX-
press their position on the following
points:
What would they have done had
they been in Governor Slaton's
place, with the Leo Frank plea for
clemency?
Are they for or against the en-
forced dipping Of COWS for cattle tick
eradication at county expense?
What is your attitude to the Cath
Ole church?
How do you stand on Tom Watson?
Aare you for liquor under cover or
above board?
Do you advocate the fence or the
no-fence?
Did you vote for Joe Brown or for
Hoke Smith?
How do you stand en- the PROPOSE
ton to remove the capitol to Macon?
Are you for free school books or
against them?
Do you advocate the state publish
ing it's own books?
Do you advocate compulsory edu
cation?
Do you know Clayt Robertson per-
sCnally?
Can you describe Harry Rose?
How do you stand on the boil Wee
vii?
Are you a Methodist, Baptist, Pres
byterian or what?
Do you believe in foreign missions?
These ought to start something and
they are all erable.-Moultrie

seed, one dollar an acre for pre-
paratiOn and fifty cents an acre
for planting. Including the cost
of cultivation harvesting, land
rental and other charges, the to-
tai cost OF producing the crop was
twenty-siX and half dollars and
eighty cents an acre; so that the
net profit amounted to fOrty-one
dollars and thirty cents an acre.
After the vines had been taken up,
the field served for additional
profit, as forage for three hundred
hogs; the hay yielded still further
income
The agricultural authorities calcu-
late that the fairest profit which could
have been expected from this tract of
one hundred and fifty acres planted
in cotton would have been about four
thousand dollars; and cotton, besides
requiring more labor in cultivation
and involving greater risks, would
have left the soil considerably poor
er. The peanut crop, on the other
hand was produced easily and cheap
ly and was a source of soil enrich
ment The increasing use of peanuts
for the manufacture of oils and other
food products makes the market for
this crop ever more certain and profit
able.
The peanut is coming into demand
more and more each year and many
lock to this crop to largely take the
place of cotton seed in the manufac-
ture of table oils when the boil wee
vii forces a reduction in the cotton
acreage.
Crisp county farmers might look
well to the opportunity to plant Span
ish peanuts after their Oat crop. Now
is the time to figure this thing out and
go to work. There is more in it than
hot air Peanuts are bringing unus
ually good prices. They are far easier
to make than The cotton crop and
yields a higher cash balance per acre.
This is not idle talk. 1t is an eff
fort to get something into the farm
er's head that will at least make him
try it. There is enough in the thing
as it appears to make any business
farmer at least look into it, If the
Dispatch gets a good Crisp county
farmer into trouble growing peanuts,
let that same farmer get his gun and
give us notice ahead Of time that he
is coming tor even the score Well
do the right thing.

The Bethlahem Steel Corporation
is winning itself favor among the
newspapers of the country by buying
and paying for the space it is using
in its fight against the eleven million
dollar armor plate factory which the
United States government is to build.
The fight may be all wrong, but the
plan to pay for the space is good
one. The larger corporations of the
country have a habit of establishing
publicity departments that abuse the
right of free space beyond all reason.
And usually the larger the corpora
ton, the harder it is for the little news
paper to dodge the carefully arranged
free advertising. 1t takes unusual
care on the part of the editor TO keep
his columns free from the material
furnished by the big corporations who
try to avoid paying for their space.
The Bethlehem Steel Corporation is
paying for its space and is not trying
TO conceal its purpose.

To look ones best and feel ones best

to flush from the system the previous

the blood. Just as coal, when it burns,
leaves behind a certain amount OF in
combustible material in the form OF
ashes, so the food and drink taken each
day leave in the alimentary organs a
certain amount of indigestible material,
which if not eliminated form toxins and
poisons which are then sucked into the
blood through the very ducts which are
intended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of healthy
bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin

1t seems that congress is at last
about to pass some kind of a Rural

too late. The promise made by the
national democracy as to this kind Of
legislation and expansion of the cur

the first cause. The Democrats have
now been in power for over three

| stated last week that if Joseph
Pottle entered the race for governor
the situation would take on new life,
and since he has sure enough announc-
ed, this conviction has become stron-
ger and a live race with plenty OF
snap, ginger and punch may now be
expected. All those who know Pot
tie know him to be man Of marked
ability and high character. 1t appears
that he will have the active support
of at least one Of the big dailies, and
the hearty good wishes Of most of the
others. The largest contributing
force behind any candidate is plenty
of newspaper notice, and no doubt Mr.
Pottle will have plenty Of this.
Another thing. He has behind him
the largest personal following of pos
sibly any man in the state-a compact,
aggressive and militant organization,
rising almost to the dignity OF ma
chine, and this crowd is wonderful be-
fore a convention or elsewhere where
anything political is doing Another
thing: That Milledgeville crowd backs
up their candidate as though each
man was the candidate and this, fact
cuts a large figure This stand-togeth-
