Education commenced at the
mothers knee, and every word
that is spoken with in the hearing
of the little children tends towards
formation of character. A child
is better unborn than untaught.
The true purpose of education is
to cherish and unfold the seed of
immortality already sown within
us; to develop to their fullest ex-
tent the capacities of every kind
with which God who made us has
endowed us.

Companionship Healthful.

There is a wise old German say
ing that only a god or a brute
can dwell in solitude. - Men and
women need cOngenial companion
ship, both for the sake of health
and happiness. Just aS your lungs
after using up all the oxygen in a
close room, need to be filled with
fresh, out of-door air, so vOnr
mind needs contact with other
minds to get new ideas. There is
such a thing as mental as well as
physical hunger Herders on the
sheep ranches of the West fire.
quently become mad from the isola-
ton they are forced to endure.
Women on lonely farms and in
small villages grow morbid and
mildly insane, and people do not
guess that the cause is want of
Companionship.
1t is for thisreason thata woman :
work at lone is always more try
ing than that of her husband, who
goes to his Office, sees new faces
and has the friction that is pro
duced by meeting other people
Even the farmer has more inter
course with his neighbor at market
or at the village grocery, than hi,
wife, who may not see anyone out
side of her own family for weeks
1t is a great mistake of young
people to isolate themselves. Ever
if their taste lead them to quie'
life they should make it a point
to cultivate few agreeable friend,

convicted for the murder on February
IA of Miss Rosa Eubanks, is now wear
ing stripes at the Rolf Homes convict
camp having been ordered there by
the state prison commission in papers
received yesterday morning by Jailer

the prisoner would be sent to the state
farm at Milledgeville, on account of
his physical condition. which is bad.
However, he will be given light work
at the convict camp until his condition
improves sufficiently to justify road
work.
Attorney Sam B. Hunter, represent

that he was lin the dark" in regard
to the action of the state prison COM

ATLANTA OFFICIALS STUDY
NEW IMITATION BEER

Atlanta, May 23.-How about this
new drink that is claimed to be an
exact imitation Of beer as to looks,
taste and smell?
1t it against the law or not?
James Mayson, city attorney of At
lanta, has ruled that the drink is
against the law, on the ground that
it's an imitation Of the beer and the
new Georgia prohibition laws speci-
icially prohibit the manufacture, sale,
etc, of any imitation of beer, wheth-
er containing alcohol or not.
Police Chief Mayo of Atlanta is
somewhat up in the air as to what to
do. The city attorney, as above stat
ed. has officially notified the police
chief that the drink is a violation of
the law; while the board of police com
missioners, who elected Mayo to the
job, have declined to give him instruc-
tons to stop the sale.

GOODRICH OFFERS $4,000
TO 1916 RAGING CHAMPION
A. A. A. is Sole Arbitrator and First,
Second and Third Speed Cham
pions will be Chose by its
Rules. Any make of tire.

Akron, Ohio, Ma y23.-Although
Goodrich Silverton Twin Cable Cord
Tires are already the accepted tire
of the racing driver, and are bought
and paid for in every case a gener-
GUS recognition of the selection by out
right purchase by drivers of racing
cars of the Silvertown Twin Cable
Cord Tires for use in contests under
no influence of money consideration
for so doing, has just been announced
by the B. F. Goodrich company.
The American Automobile Associa-
ton, the official association of car
owners of this country, has prepared
rules to govern the determination of
the actual champion for the season
of nineteen sixteen and will be the
sole arbitrator regarding such awards.
The Silvertown Cord Tire is univer-
sally recognized as the type of con-
struction insuring best results in
speed contests and is almost univer-
sally used by racing drivers. There
is no reason why the Goodrich com
pany should extend any award for the
purpose of inducing the use of the
SilvertoWn Twin Cable Cord Tire and
it does not, but gives outright with
out a string tied to it of any kind
whatsoever, ten thousand dollars di-
vided between the authoritatively de-
termined champion, the second and
third in order quite irrespective OF
the make or kind of tire that may be
used by said winners.

ONE TERM. - The political pots

and swarm around them pretty lively
these days.
Tn campaign speaker, in referring
to his own party, it is honeyed state
ments in choice language, and, in
speaking of the opposing party, it is
weasel words in singsOng voice.
Recently Mr.. Hughes was in Chi
cago, and after his campaign speech
one of the daiies printed a headline
across the front page that read:
4" 'Shamed by Wilson Rule. -
Hughes" The following day head
ing appeared in the same paper and
place: Hughes Assails Wilson's Hot
Air"
A few days ago Mr.. Roosevelt de-
Ivered his first campaign speech for
the season in Lewiston, Me-, and di-
verting to the subject of Belgium
said: Comparing Mr.. Wilson's neu-
trality to that of Pontius Plate
would be doing the latter injustice"
What respect can the public have
for the executive, whose duty it is to
enforce the laws of the country,
when men of prominence and knowl-
edge ike Messrs, Hughes and Roose<
welt come around and tell us in the
first place that the president is a hot
air shooter and in the second ikens
the president to POntius Plate.
It's a disgrace. Much so because
the people in and out of the republic
take such campaign bunk for
granted.
Since a person is elected to the
presidency he should be spared from
being target for insulting attacks.
