WHAT WE WOULD 20!

Many farmers of this county, thanks
to high-priced cotton, will have sur
plus of funds this winter, after they
have sold their crop and paid all cur
rent indebtedness.
What are they going to do with it?
Are they going to celebrate with it
and dissipate in few weeks, extrav-
agantly, this left yer money? Or will
they invest it in something that will
bring definite returns?
If we were farmer and could
carry a bank book around with us
along about the first of November
We would do at least one of seven
things:
l. Pay off all debts, and go on a
leash basis next year.
2. Start a savings account in some
bank.
9. Buy another pure-bred SOW, COW
or mare.
A. Set out an orchard
5. Install some waterworks ant
electric lights.
6. Paint the house.
T. If tentant, buy, if possible, 6
lsmall farm, and make the first pay
ment on the purchase price.
There are all sorts of ways of max
| ing the proper use of such prosper.

/ Before doing anything at all, how.
ever, We should see to it that the
good wife had that new dress fol
which she has yearned so long, ant
we would buy her handsome piece
of furniture that would please hel
heart and eye, and we'd tell her tc
get two hats if she wanted them, re.
CARELESS of cost. We'd let son select
his own suit of clothes, and tel
daughter to get whatever she wanted
at the dry goods store and charge it
We'd be happier all winter, we know
just for doing that.
What are YOU going to do witt
your surplus, Mr.. Farmer?

GEORGIA AND IT'S VETERANS.

The appeal for funds for the relic
of two old veterans, whose pension
allowances from the state are insult
fcient for their needs, has quickenec
interest in this county in the matter
of pensions for survivors of the Wal
Of the Sixties.
Georgia pays less pro rata than eight
states, and more than five. But il
all the years of it's pension payments
Cerogia has distributed more than any
other state-twice as much as any
southern state, with the exception Of
Alabama.
Last year, to it's 10000 veterans and
600 widows. this state distributed
NEARLY million dollars In all it has
disbursed about nineteen millions. Ala
bama ranks second with total dis
tribution of eleven millions.
Five southern states pay $120 year
to each veteran, and three give less
than forty. Georgia's average is $50
year. There are 10000 pensioners
in fourteen Confederate states, and
Georgia has one-seyenth of the whole
number. Moreover, Georgia maintains
a home to which indigent veterans
may be admitted and maintained in
ease at the states expense. This home
now has lis inmates. However, not
many veterans apply for admission,
many preferring to exc out an exist
ence otherwise.
Of course. if one of the old soldiers
il unable to augment his income by
working for wages, or by receiving
help from friends and relatives, it is
manifestly impossible for him to pre-
tend to live on what the state appro-
PIRATES him. That is why two old
fellows in this county are in such
FETCHED circumstances. They haven't
dollar in the world but what they
get at the ordinarys Office twice a
year
But Georgia should not be cr;tic1xed.
With next to the largest annual ap-
propriation-only Texas appropriating
more for its pension fund-and with
more pensioners than any other state,
Georgia is really doing splendidly. 1t
would do better, and the bona fide
pensioners would fare better, if the
undeserving ones were stricken from
the list

NO PLACE FOR TRAITORS.

There is a nationwide demand for
the expulsion of LaFollette, of Wis
consin, from the United States Senate
Theodore Roosevelt yesterday in a
splendid, patriotic speech expressed
views which reflect the sentiments Of
all true Americans.
LaFollette is as brazen in his denun-
citation of the president and the ad-
ministration policies as the kaiser him
self. He is aiding and abetting the
German government
Lorimer was expelled from the Sen
ate for conduct far less perfidious. La
Toilette ought to be put out, silenced
evan imprisoned-and we would like to
see little Hardwick tagged aong with
kJm.

HERE'S THE REASON WHY.

There are many who do not fully
understand the significance of the
prohibition campaign" now in pro-
gress in this "bone-dry" state.
Even such clear-thinking newspapers
as the Dalton Citizen and the Dawson
News have criticized the movement
deploring it as an agitation absolute
" unnecessary and calculated to dc
more harm than good.
The campaign is part of the nation
wide program for insuring the adop-
tion by at least thirty-six states of
the national constitutional prohibition
amendment
The United States Senate has already
adopted this amendment, and the
House is confidently expected to do so.
Then, if thirty-six states ratify it
within six years this country will be
as dry, alcoholically, as a sun-swept
desert. The manufacture, sale, and
Importation of whiskey in every con-
ceivable form will be prohibited. The
amendment is a drastic one, and
reads as follows:
Section I. The sale, manufac-
ture for sale, transportation for
sale, importation for sale, of intox-
icating liquors for beverage pur-
poses, in the United States and all
territory subject to the jurisdic-
ton thereof, and the expectation
thereof, are forever prohibited.
Section 2. The Congress or the
States shall have power independ-
emily or concurrently to enfore
this Article by all needful legis-
lation.''
The fact that Georgia is a prohibi?
ton state does not guarantee the rati-
fication of this amendment by the pres
ent or any succeeding legislature
Therefore, the campaign is being wag-
ed to stimulate sufficient public sent
iment to compel favorable action by
some ensuing general assembly.
Prohibition having been adopted in
Georgia without the people ever hav-
ing directly expressed themselves on
the matter, the question is still an
open one, in spite of the rigid law on
the statute books, and well do the
prohibition workers know it. So they
are starting in plenty of time, with
the y few of having public opinion
aroused to the point where 1t will be
reflected in, or react on, the legisla-
ture to the extent of effecting a rati-
fication of the national "bone-dry'
amendment
The Times-Recored- being in favor
Of prohibition, whether local, county
district, state, national, universal, OF
planetary, we are in sympathy with
the present movement, and tender the
promoters of it our friendly offices SO
far as they may be of service. For
to tell the truth, we would be skept-
ical of the ratification of the amend
ment by any Georgia legislature at
all early date unless a campaign was
conducted in its behalf, such as is
now being done,

 Tho iron constitution which en- ablcd the Sourest of an Coughs to make the intrepid journey through the dense uudcrgrowth which fringcd the river from St. Michael Co Dawson was suu his when Che Stroller last saw him which was eight years ago. Instead Of lemon or bittors, Inc al- ways put a dash of corbolic acid in his whisky and SO far as Che Stroller knows. he never refused a drink or kicked a dog. or a deeply poetic no- ture. he has many times told the Stroller Of his happy life long before any other white men came Co the country; of how he and Limpin' Grouse would take long pilgrImagcs into the untrodden. there Co bin and coo unseen and unheard except by God and Nature; of their loug-drawn- out and coufiding love and of how once when he fell in the river by accident and was swept down with Che raging waters a distance of thirty-four miles. Limpin Grouse kept pace with him on Che bank, shouting words Of encouragement and cheering him with "Cui ica tik du ct hc a qui oc du" Which means
 Come back Co me, sweetheart
 And love me as before.
 When white men began Co crowd into the country the old man with drew more and more to himself and Co the Indians. He was of the white race but not with it. The mad rush for glitteriug gold was rcpugnaut Co his romantic disposition and the moccasin which encascd the pigeon toes of a sQuaw was much more al- turing Co his eye than were the French heels worn by Che gaudily dressed habitucs of the dancehalls The female foot and ankle wrapped In a guuuy sack looked better to him than oxford ties and open-work hosiery. and he could never forgive George Carmack for sloughiug off Katie. his native wife for che daugh- ter of Che pale face who knew naught of cleaning fish, building raimcnt from raw hide or concocting ice worm stew.
 Aside from what little publicity che Stroller has given Che Sourcst or oll Coughs. he has been wholly over looked by Yukon writers of both fact and fiction. Except for the Stroller. Che old man has been ignored by an writers from Alice Rollins Crane down che line to our friends Service and Rev. s. Hall Young, an Of them having passed up the most prolific subject for "copy" ever known with in Che confines Of the Broad White North.
 10 Is this oversight on thc part Of the many authors who have written concerning the North that has ol- most persuaded the Stroller to write a book for Che express purpose of dealing with a number of interesting characters like the Sourcst Of an Coughs Limpin' Grouse and others who are deserving of places in the descriptions of the Great and Near Great in connection with Che north land, but who have been neglected by an other writers.
 Incidentally. the price of a can or green paint has been forwarded Co Che old man at Dawson; also the cx- pressed wish that he may live Co comply with his promise to Che de- ceased for at least four more springs. by which time he will have rounded out a century and be amply ripe for the scythe.
