he returned to Virginia to aid General Lee.
He Lees trusted adviser the night
before Appomattox. l had the facts from
General Charles Field, who was in command
of the Virginia troops that went into serv
ice with General Lee after Virginia seeded.
He was in the secret service also. OF all
the generals after Jeb Stuart and A. P. Hill
were killed, Longstreet came next and near
est, in April, 1865, to General Lee.
There has been no mention of General r.
S. BartoM, who was killed at the Battle Of
Manassas. v Also no mention of General-W.
T. Wofford, both Georgians, who were in
high military office under Longstreet. If the
Stone Mountain Memorial means Confederate
merit and Importance, they will not be left
out to a certainty.
The bill introduced by Representative VAN
landingham, of Seminole county, to compel
the ordinares of each county to print the
names of all Confederate pensioners in each
county, in the county paper which prints the
sheriif'S sales, is a move in the right direc-
ton.
These ordinaries receive 81 each, for
handing the pension money to the proper
owner.
All the people are interested in getting
acquainted with their own county pension
ers. After we pay the taxes would like to
get acquainted with the good people thus re-
warded for their patriotism Let us see the
roll in the county paper. 1t will not cost
one-half the amount paid to the ordinaries.

presented to him Bible This was in 1852.
1t is interesting to note, that thirty years
later, this unfaltering and powerful Demo-
crat was sworn in upon this same Bible as
governor of the largest and greatest state
in the union.
And the hearts of all high-minded people
are further moved by the reflection, that
Governor Cleveland inspired by the sweet
remembrance of a Presbyterian mothers love-
solemnly swore upon the same Bible which
she had given him thirty-three years before
that Il will faithfully execute the office of
president of the United States and will to the
best of my ability, preserve, protect a. de-
fSnd the constitution of the United States"
His Oath and Shield and BuckIer
He repeated this oath upon the same Bible
eight years later, and during his two terms
this obligation was to him shield and buck
Ter, and he unfinchngly met and success
fully discharged the tremendous responsible
ties of his great trust, fearing nothing when
principle was at stake, and never hesitating
when he believed an action or policy to be
right and proper.
If it were permitted to the sanity mother
of Grover Cleveland to look down from her
eternally bllssful abode upon the transitory
scenes of earth how her heart must have
reioiced on seeing her son, in the splendor of
his fame, pressing his lips to the Bible which
she placed in his hands when his boyish feet

A Marked Event IN Georgia S
Economic Historu

THE establishment of the Georgia Coun-
ell of Cooperative Marketing Associa-
lions Is an event of far-reaching i'm
port in our economic annals. 1t means much
that the cooperative system of selling the
states farm products should have developed
in the last year or so to such proportions
shat as many as five major crops-cane, cot
ton, pecans, peanuts, and watermelons-are
thus handled, while hundreds of thousands
of growers support the plan and reap the
sprofits of efficient, co-working. 1t means
:even more that now the five associations
formed for that purpose are to cooperate
with one another. Their Council will find
Its chief immediate good in interchanges of
experience and opinion among its members
who are the managing heads Of the as
:sociations. But it will serve also the broader
.use of assisting other groups of Georgia
producers to organize for better marketing,
and thereby will add materially to the up
building of the commonwealth.
That there is nothing which smacks of re-
.straint of trade in such body is attested
by the fact that its components are purely
selling, not holding, associations and that
each has to do with an entirely different
commodity. The chairman Of the new Coun-
ell, Mr.. J. E. Conwell, well described its
character and purpose in an interview in
yesterdays Journal. "By meeting together
and exchanging ideas the managers of the
several associations" said he, will be able
to render zbetter service not only for the CO.
operative movement and for the growers
already organized, but also for those not yet
enjoying such advantages. Members of the
Council were unanimous in their belief that
to solve the problem of marketing would be
to solve that of diversification, inasmuch as
the farmers will be assured of fair prices for
diversified crops, once they are established
on the cooperative selling plan"
The Importance of this relationship can
hardly be overgauged However cogently
the armchair economist may urge Georgia
farmers to diversity and however excellent
the idea itself may be, little will come of it
unless there are adequate markets for the
divers corps concerned. One experience in
having harvest of potatoes to spoil on his
hands or in having thousands of bushels OF
peanuts to sink to glutted markets bottom
will weigh more with the man on the sol
than all the counsels of science. Yet diversi

PRAISE FOR TWO LEGISLATIVE ACTS
BY MRS. '


TIME attempt to preoccupy the Stone
Mountain Memorial space the out

General James Longstreet, who was known
far and wide as Lees War Horse" was
blocked by action of the Georgia general as
sembly. If the managers of the Stone Noun
tain Memorial do not obey the directions
thus given, it is a fact well assured that
Longstreet and Lee will have a splendid
monument on the capitol grounds in the
near future. The legislature Vas prompt in
doing the right thing to the memory of
Longstreet.
Longstreet was in the encounter just pre-
ceding the First Battle of Manassas He re-
pulsed the Federal troops on July 49, 1861.
This was the first real battle of the Civil
war.
When General Bragg was defending Geor-

corps to Chickamauga.i
Longstreet's corps saved the day.
At the Battle of the Wilderness General
Lonsstreet was seriously wounded. When
his staff picked him up he was found with
bloody foam surging from his mouth. This
was in May, 1854. He went into a hospital,

THE RATCHET
By DR.. Frank Crane

BY Or. FRANK crane
The ratchet wheel is a cog wheel that
turns in only one direction. When it goes
to turn in the opposite direction catch
falls into one Of the cogs and prevents it.
There are a great many people who are
fine pieces of machinery but they lack
ratchet-dog, as the little cog is called that
prevents the wheel from slipping back.
What is the use of making progress one
day if you slip back the next? 1t does not
take long to figure out how long it will take
frog to get out of well If every time ne
Jumps up two feet he slips back three.
1t is very easy to make an enthusiastic
squirt in any good direction. All it takes is
an emotional impulse. But we are in bad
way if there is nothing about us by which
we can retain the advance we have made.
Law is the ratchet wheel of progress 1t
is no motive force, but when because Of
some other force, whether of conscience or
public opinion, we have gone forward, and
when we pass law indicating our progress,
that law prevents us from slipping back
In this sense the Constitution of the
United States is the ratchet of the republic.
Tradition is ratchet for mankind.
We often complain that people go on doing
things just because they always have done
themi But while this keeps us doing many
foolish things, at the same time it keeps us
doing many good and useful things which
we might be tempted in a moment of i'm
pulse~to leave off.
With the individual, habit is a ratchet. 1t
is not what you learn every day, but what
you do every day that keeps you from going
back. OF course a ratchet alone will not
advance you at all, but we should not forget
that it is quite as important to keep from
backslidng as it is to continue advancing.
The very best assurance that we have of
not failing is that we did not fail yesterday.
This is the reason why when you apply for
position, you are asked to show your rec
ord. This is the reason that we instinct
lively distrust glowing promises. This is the
reason why what we do every day goes to
make solid rock upon which we may build
the edfce of our success.

Mckinley and Grant Kissed Scripture
The tenth verse of the first chapter of tbs
Second Book of the Chronicles was touched
with McKinley's lips as he took the oath at
his first inauguration president:
"Gve me now wisdom and knowledge, that
may go out and come in before this people;
for who can judge this thy people, that is so
great?"
President Grant, after taking the oath for
his second term, kissed the open Bible at
Isaiah, eleventh chapter, second and third
verses las follows:
"An the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon
him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit Of
knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
and shall make him of quick understands
ing in the fear of the Lord; and he shall not
judge after the sight of his eyes, neither re-
prove after the hearing of his ears"
Swarmed Like Bees About Hayes
Considering the horde of office-seekers who
swarmed like 'bees" about President Hayes,
perhaps it was not by accident or mere chance
that after taking the oath. he kissed the
twelfth verse of Psalm CXIII, reading as fol-
lows:
They comprised me about like bees; they
e/quenched as the fire of thorns; for in the
name of the Lord I will destroy them"
President Hayes was indeed wise in saying
by the help i"of the Lord I will destroy them
of the political pie-hunters.
Where Washington Touched His Lips

Washington had taken the presidential GA n
at his first inauguration, he kissed the open
Bible and his lips touched verse fourteen OF
the forty-ninth chapter of Genesis:

between two burdens" picture of Issachar
as "a strong ass crOuching down between two
! burdens, was on the page which washington

! fy he must If his own and the states flu
ture are to rest secure. The crux of the
problem, therefore, is in providing ways and
means whereby this needed variety of farm
products will be vouchsafed regular, de-
pendable, and altogether efficient marketing
service. This the cooperative association
does, and in so doing becomes the decisive
factor, the pivotal point in the states agri-
cultural prosperity.
AS in Georgia, so throughout the nation
this service is fast becoming recognized as
fundamentally important. The current num-
Der of that truly great magazine the AMER
ICAN REVIEW OF REVIEWS, observes edi-
torially that much Of the exceptional pros
perity which California now enjoys els due
worked out on a magnificent scale" This
has been said many times, but note the
widening range OF those methods: What
California has been ,ableNto do with oranges
and other special products the apple grow
ers of our far Northwestern States have
been doing with notable success In finding
good markets for standardized products. The
tobacco raisers of Virginia, Kentucky, ard
other districts more recently have been
that are already visible. The original
difficulty for the individual farmer lay in
getting his wares marketed. He might have
been growing peaches successfully in Geor-
gia, but with no chance to convert his crop
into money unless he could send 1t to some
Northern city. He is now learning to mar
ket on the cooperative plan. In the earlier
days he would consign his crop to a commits
sion merchant, and 1t would arrive per-
delphia, or New York was oversupplied.
Frequently the Southern shipper did not re-
ceive money enough to pay his freight bill,
and thus his crop brought him less than
nothing But with the local growers asso-
citation, storage and refrigeration facilities,
careful grading, standardized brands, and
markets carefully studied by expert agents,
the grower is in position to devote himself
TO looking after the quantity and quality of
his crop"

FACTORS IN HEALTH
BY Fl. ADDINGTON RnUCE

BY Fl. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
TIE had gone to his physician for
I'll routine medical examination and had
a. - been advised to make certain changes
in his diet and to get some outdoor exercise
daily. In addition, to his surprise, he was
informed:
"Take care to exercise your mind as well
as your body. If you a 1T rundown 1t
is not merely because your living habits are
not exactly what they ought to be. 1t is
also because your thinking habits are some
what at fault.
''You have been too long without any reg
ular occupation. The fact that you are
financially so situated that you are not
obliged to work for your living has not been
altogether blessing for you, but rather the
reverse. Find something interesting to d.,
and do it. That itself will help to improve
your health"
Far too many people forgetful that
the physical factor is not the only one on
which health depends Far too many seem
to think that the phrase Giving BEAUTIFULLY"
relates merely to such matters as avoidance
of over-eating or under-ea ting, getting an
ample supply of fresh air. bathing with reg
ularity.
Health also is Deepen ,cnt on mental, spfr-
itual, and social factors. Many man, for
example, exercising faithfully in the open or
in a gymnasium, fails to benefit from such
exercise simply because he keeps himself in,
perhaps a state of anxiety, perhaps an atti-
tude of animosity to other people, perhaps
an uncommonly selfish frame of mind.
Conditions such as these tend to react I'M
favorably,l often most unfavorably, on the
earth. It may be difficult to describe the
mind-body relationship which causes the
unfavorable reactions, but of the fact of
this relationship and it's consequences there
can be no doubt
Accordingly all who would keep we'll or
regain lost health must do much more than
themselves w 0Uf in
practice the laws Of bodily hygiene. They
must also know what is required of them
i'll the way of mental hygiene and emotional
control, and in the way, TOO. of adaptation
to the social environment about them.
There are books that will give them this
knowledge, just as there are books to ac-
quaint them with fundamentals in the by
giene of the body A little money spent on
books dealing with the art of living in this
broader sense We be found money well in
vested.
