TWO SIDES TO ALL QUESTIONS.

The child-labor bill had two sides
and the question is far from settled.
The proper education of children who
are not allowed to earn money in cotton
mills, until they are fourteen years of
age, is a serious question, and unless
a compulsory education bill is rigidly
enforced in Georgia these youths under
fourteen years will be exposed to manv
things in their enforced idleness
which will work to their final disadvan-
tage.
Just so with the strike legislation
which has resulted in a bill TO make
and enforce an eight-hour work day fer
railroad employees. II has two sides
and the railroads very truly say that
the public will foot the bill in the end.
An eight-hour day will enter into all
unorganized bodies, as well as into
trades unions, among railroad men.

SONGS OF ATLANTA AMATEURS.
"Dixie''-No. IS.
By w. H. BARNES.

"Have you heard the news today from
old Virginia lard,
And how the foeman quailed before the
Dixie band.
With hundred thousand men that tried
to flank us round,
But the gallant sons of Dixie soon
swept them from the ground.
General Patterson was sent to Martins
burg to draw
Our forces from Manassas, Sbut the thick
our generals saw;
We fell back on Winchester-then to
the Junction, too,
And when old Scott arrived they pre-
pared to put him through.
1.-THE enemy marched their forces, their
bayonets glittering bright,
The impression was no doubt they
would easy whip the fight.
They marched on Johnston's left and
pressed him very hard,
But quite forgot that on the right was
General Beauregard.
From o'clock till IL their weapons
they did WELD,
When all at once the cry was heard
He took charge of the center, the enemy
gave way,
And inspired with his presence, our
boys soon won the day.
"AIl hail the glorious victory. All hail
our glorious state,
All hail our gallant regiments, our
Seventh and our Eighth;
And for our noble children, who there
have met their death,
Will prayers ascend from Dixie, as long
as she has breath!
'We've beat the vandals back. we've
slain their hireling men,
We think 1t rather doubtful If they
advance again.
But if they do they'll find us there with
rifles in our hand,
All ready and in waiting to defend this
Dixie land!'

From what you say your horse has
evidently suffered from a colicky con-
dition for some time and this is prob
ably due to the excessive use of green
feed without a sufficient amount of dry
feed and grain. One ounce of laudanum
and one-half ounce of spirits of camphor
mixed in a half pint of warm water
constitutes a good drench when this
condition arises. Medicines for collie
should be we'll diluted with hot water
and given as a drench. Where laudanum
is used do not repeat the dose frequent
ly. Often times baking soda in table,
spoonful doses in hot water given as a
drench will relieve the pain. The fo;-
lowing is an excellent collie mixture. 1t
should be kept in tightly stopped bottles
to prevent its evaporation. Two table,
spoonfuls in one-half pint of rather
warm water can be given as a dose and
repeated in half hour for three doses.
Choral hydrate, 2 ounces: laudanum, 2
ounces; sulphuric ether, l ounce; aro-
matte spirits Of ammonia, 2 ounces; es-
sence Of Jamaica ginger. ounces; creo-
lin, 1-2 ounce.
The cough about which you write
may be due 20 one of several causes.
Horses affected with heaves often have
violent attacks of coughing, though they
may also have a bad cold which will
cause them to cough. In the treat
ment for heaves remember that this
trouble is frequently caused by improper
feeding, and overlooking. especially with
dusty or moldy hay, is a common cause.
Some animals inherit this trouble APP
parently. Fowler's solution is the best
thing to give in two teaspoonful doses
In the food three times daily. This treat
ment can sometimes be continued for a
month with advantage. The animal
should be watched very closely and If
there is evidence of arsenical poison,
shown by the twisting Of the muscles,
stop the medicine at once. Any medi-
cine which promotes digestion is bene-
fetal. Pulverized ginger root in table
spoonful doses three times daily can
often be given with advantage. The
simpler the treatment the better.

the constitution contained, but upon
the universal repute of those who pro-
posed the constitution"
