MORE FATAL THAN ARSENIC.
The Valdosta Times says.

The Valdosta Times says
1t is reported that Senator Hoke
Smith recently refused an invi-
tation to speak at Eastman be-
cause Senator Hardwick was book
ed for a speech there on the same
day, the senior senator explain
ing that he and Harwick are not
running together now" or words
to that effect.
That is given as a rumor, but it
may be true. Ii it is, we don't blame
Hoke,
Everybody knows, of course, that
without Senator Smiths influence,
Hardwick could never have been elect
ed senator by that deadlocked con
vention i'll Macon Everybody knows.
furthermore, chat it was the support
of the Hoke Smith vote that sent
Hardwick to the convention the second
man in the race.
However, it must be said in Sem
ator Smiths behalf that he has long
since washed his hands of Hardwick.
Indeed, Hardwick was not long in
the senate before he assumed airs of
superiority and let it be distinctly
understood that he was not indebted
to anybody for anything-not even
much obliged tc the president for his
Endorsement which contributed ma
terially as Hardwick vote-getter
It would be political suicide in
Georgia just now for any man to ad-
vertise as Hardwick's running mate.
Or to appear under circumstances
which indicated as much. And SEN
ator Smith knows it. If we were
n his place we'd avoid Hardwick as
We would double dose of dyptheria.

A< A NATTER OF FACT.

In the heat of the present mayor
atty campaign in New York, one
stump-speaker, in answering an ad-
versary. declared, All men are liars.
That was a broad statement, to be
sure. but at the same time he only
conceded with the Judgment of imany
of the worlds wisest men-some of
whom also were liars.
History. ancient and modern, abounds
with examples of confirmed and no
torious fbbers. Colonel Roosevelt
has done much toward establishing the
impression that ours is nation of
story tellers. Prominent men and
women were enlisted by him in his
Ananias Club, and we also recall that
Colonel Theodore said he would not
accept another nomination for the
presidency-but he did. Louis Napo
leon was almost the equal Of his
great uncle at the gentle pasttime of
lying, and Napoleon I has been class
flied by one historian as the greatest
liar the world has ever known Met
ternich made skilful deception by
word of mouth a practced art, and
it was another distinguished diplomat,
Tallyrand, who said language was
given us to conceal our thoughts.
Samson thrice lied to Delilah, and, in
fact, scripture records numerous cases
of lies being told deliberately and with
Ia purpose.
Stevenson said that it was not true
that ''it is easy to tell the truth and
hard tc tell lie" He thought it al
most the reverse. '"The habitual
liar" he said, may be a very honest
fellow, and live truly with his wife
and friends; while another man who
never told a formal falsehood in his
life may yet be himself one lie-heart
and face, from top to bottom"
Man loves lies for the lies sake
declared Francis Bacon, who also be-
lieved that all men lied to themselves
if not to others William Penn sc
detested untruths that he said, "lying
is the whole way to hell" "Thot
shalt not lie," is one of the command
ments
Truth has ever been esteemed on,
of the noblest virtues, but neverthe
less there are some, so addicted ar,
they to the pernicious habit of strain
ing or exaggerating facts, that would
rather lie for credit than tell tn,
truth for cash. Besides, just wha
is truth and what is not has always
been mooted question What i
truth?" asked testing plate, and dix
not wait for an answer.
i Honestly, and truly, we wouldn't b,
a bit surprised if the New York speak
Ell didn't tell the truth.

The Pavement that Won't Stay Down.
A playful little showerlet fell down
TO earth one day, and struck a wood
block pavement that in town street
lay; Filled up the little crevices and
puddled here and there, And started
those wood paving blocks arising in
the air. They rose up in long. ridges
that collapsed with dismal thud, They
reared in crazy volcanoes that spat
out sand and mud, They cast up
mounds and pyramids and many other
form, Till the street looked like a
troubled sea swept by tropic storm.
The street crew and the park gang and
3 squad Of men with picks Were told
to come a-runnin that the street
was out of fix. They smashed the
pavement down again, steam rollered
it for hours, Pushed in its crazy pyra-
mids and RACED its leaning towers
And when at last the job was done
and things looked as before The stuff
left over proved enough to pave quite
two blocks more.-Albany Herald.

Hearst and HardWick.

The Atlanta Georgian's defense of
Senator Hardwick is the first to APP

last We know of no other Georgia

owned by an individual that has been
deceitful and covertly hostile in these
tremendous times,-Americus Times

Women don't buy shoes according

every pair in the house to see which
one looks the best. And, of course,
the obliging clerk assures them that
each pair looks better and better

before they are put into any liquid.
This wheel is eight feet In diameter.
There is a boiler for making the steam

The dry cleaning is done in regular

that "The Fighting Trail is without

stories which he has ever acted. The
picture is western in character, and
gives Hart opportunity to display his
best talent. The climax of the story is
reached in IA fight which has never,
perhaps, been surpassed in the motion
picture world In this climax Hart is
lat his best. Here he carries out Il
part which he alone can fill.
From, start 90 finish the picture is
remarkable because of realneSS Of set
