HARDWICK'S NEW PAPER
AWAITED WITH INTEREST

ATLANTA, Nov. Governor
Thomas w. Hardwick OF Georgia,
who says he is going to publish a
weekly paper, u he Georgia Demo-
craft, is following in the footsteps of
other public men who have issued
personal organs.
The most notable OF these is Will
liam j. Bryan in The Commoner'
Then LaFollettee Of Wisconsin pub
lished weekly. Henry Ford has one
which he calls the Dearborn indie
pendent" Vardaman printed a paper
III Mississippi. The success OF the late
Y. S. Senator Thomas E. Watson s
'Jeffersonian' and "Columbia Senti-
nel'' is we'll known.
Thomas Jefferson wrote a great
deal for print Newspapers were not
50 numerous in those days and he
had recourse to pamphlets. Benjamin
Franklin, who was a printer, estab-
+ lished the Saturday Evening Post in
Philadelphia. John Adams wrote for
the newspapers prior to the Revolt
ton.
In England long ago there were is
sued news pamphlets" Addison 5
Spectator Is we'll known. In the
early days newspapers were polemic,
the personality of the editor was de
cislve. Journalism, of course has
since broadened out and especially in
America they are now vehicles OF
news, but in the temperance of per-
sonal organs Issued by pub.'c me!, this
species of journalism has again be-
come popular in some quarters. Such
papers do not pretend to give the
news, but comment freely upon pull
lie events.
Governor Hardwick is recognized
as vigorous campaigner. He speaks
readily and forcibly. He has yet to
win his spurs as writer but the
announcement that he is going to is
sue The Georgia Democrat has
created great deal of talk. Whether
the Governor will have associated with
him one or more newspaper men he
has not made known. His plan, how
ever, is to write most of the editorials
himself.
He is uncertain whether to rely on
advertising matter to help pay expen-
ses. Usually newspaper of any
kind is obliged to have advertising,
But the late Senator Watson made
his expenses with very little adver-
Using.

WEEKLY SUNDAY
SCHOOL TALKS
(By &, A. JOLLEY)

(By q, A. IOLLEYl
Ne&t Sunday the general lesson top
ic is Jesus The Great Physician" the
purpose of this lesson is to give us
lite views of Jesus. Just how He spent
his days and nights. The ministry OF
Jesus met all the need OF men. Lack
of space forbids going into details
about Christs healing power bun sui
flee il to say Jesus healed all manner
OF diseases in all manner OF ways. He
healed some with a word. while 9TH
ers were healed with the touch OF his
hand. Ten ltpcrs were healed AS
They Went AT the Masters bidding.
While some blind folk found healing
as the Great Physician applied some
materials to their SightlcsS eyes
Some were healed through the cx-
ercise OF their own faith while others
were healed through exercise OF faith
through others.
Jesus was the great physician be-
cause He saw the deepest need in the
mans life and met it. For greater
than the sickness in the body was the
sin in the soul And the soul needed
cleansing even more than the body
needed healing.
Many there are who have ills from
which they will never know relief. Ev.
en- so man can bear patiently al
such physical Affections when the
heart is pure and his sins are forgiv.
en-. May all such sufferers find the
reality and the comfort which came
to Paul My grace is sufficient for
! thee"

AN EXPERIMENT
WITH OIL SHALE

An experiment by John Fell in the
treatment of oil shale in the Wolgan
Valley. Blue Mountains. New South
Wales. Australia was led to a remark
able discovery which will, 1t is be-
lieved, revolutionize present methods
of deriving oil from shale.
Before the discovery oil was de-
rived from the shale by distillation
from retorts, a comparatively costly
process. By the new method the
shale itself is set afire, thereby FORM
ing a natural retort which drives the
oil out of the shale in gushes. In no
country of the world has any body of
shale been set fire for treatment pur-
poses before, so that the work done
by retorts after great expense in min
ing will for the future be performed
by nature.
Mr.. Fell set fire to the great shale
body in the Wolgan valley. The oil
flowed In such volume that he was
unable to find enough containers to
hold 1t.

HUMBOLDT SHERIFF
USES GAS IN RAIDS

The World War has been the boot
Ieggers' undoing, says the Winnie
mucca Silver State, for Sheriff @. w.
Brady plans adoption of war meas

ca and Humboldt County. The boot
leggers' ability to do away quickly
with discriminating evidence is to be
discountenanced. and In a manner
that will make him want to forget he
ever had anything to do with forbid

For now when a raid Is to take
place the first thing the bootlegger
will know of 1t, unless some sympa-
thetic friend tips him of in advance,
will be a cloud OF white smoke, fol-
lowed by an uncomfortable flow of
tears and a desire to leave the place,
and leave the place they will-or be
carried out.
This will all be brought about by
the tossing of a small copper ball
about the size of a baseball, and the
smoke will develop when 1t hits the
floor. The end will come when Off
GERS walk in, in undisputed posses
sion, and gather up whatever evil
dence is to be found.
The superiority Of the device over
guns and clubs lies in the fact that 1t
will not kill or permanently injure
the cuiprit, that 1t contains no ex-
plosive or infiammable material, that
any officer who can throw a baseball
can use it effectively; that the officer
can use It without exposing himself
either to the effects Of the grenade or
the bullets Of the culprit, and that
positively no one can withstand the
powerful fumes which 1t generates.
The culprit is forced into immediate
abject surrender. although a few
minutes later he entirely
