W. F. Stevenson for Congress. Partisan lines, which cut deeply into his vote iu this county two years ago, have been obliterated and a uiiiteu county is behind hiin, and the enthusiasm shown on the subject on last Monday warrants the prediction that his majority in tins county will be the greatest ever giveu a candidate here who had an opponent. BETTER THINliS TO BEAD A man whose occupation for years took into the homes of many country people has penned a few observations that deserve contemplation. "A hindrance to the advancement of many children in the pountry." he says, "is that in many homes one does not find a newspaper, magazine or a book. I have visited homes where ail the reading matte 1 could seew as an almanac. And in other homes I found them reading the cheapest kind of matter, costing about ten cents a year, which they called a magazine,' lio not tell me they could not afford better reading matter, when they spend money foolishly, oftentimes which h. better be spent in good, wholesome - reading matter. Such parents t<>.? often blame their children for not advancing more rapidly iu school criticizing the teacher and school board, when the real cause of their dissatisfaction lies in their own homes." we uo nut ueueve me percentage ui homes like the above are auy longer very high. That home of them exist, however, there can scarcely be a doubt. Good reading matter stimulates the miud, broadens the mental horizon and leads to higher ideals in life and, above all, knowledge? and Knowledge is power. "I am not capable of discussiyg this subject as ably as a scientific educator does, "this man cuutiuues, "but 1 do know that the farm that is managed pud operated by a man who has intelligent and at least somewhat cultivated brains is more productive with less expenditure of muscle and fatiguing work than it otherwise would be.

Coincident ally in the same day's mail came i clipping from the Augusta Chronic! nf a recent date, in which Editor Ton toy less treats the same subject. I apitears that South Georgian's, a least, and particularly in the growini lown of Dawson, are getting thel eyes oi?eii and their backbones stiff ened, and have made the abolition o .he cook's loot pan a commuuit; movement One noticeable result has been th going to work of many negro men wh have heretofore been parasites on th community. The idea is well wort] considering, even here in South Care Iiua. where the cook's pan is eve present The Chronicle's editorial is as fo] lows: \Soiue towns, like some men, ar I .on i great, some acnieve greauies; iuit sutue Lave greatness thrust upo tlieui. Or fume, which is a fairly goo substitute for greatness. "The good little city of Dawsor la., has done the better thing, how ever, and achieved foine; or, to b more exact, greatness. "Heretofore, Dawson has been ehiel ly known to fame for having turne loose upon the country more new? paper men, of one bind and anothei than any ether town of its siz in Georgia. But Dawson was not con tent to stop there; for whatever it personages'?might do to carry Ih town's name down to history, ther was ever a local yearning for some thing more practical; something tha would confer a blessing upon the liv ing as well, and confer it right ther at home. "So what did Dawson do? Why Dawson simply, enacted a new cit; ordinance that for uniqueness, as wel as for practical results has no paral lei in the aunuals of municipal legisla tiou; while, at the same time, settini an example for other towns, and cities too, to follow. "Dawson, like every other southen town, has negro cooks of the feminim gender. And fhese cooiks have?oi had?pans; large tin pans, which wer .sometimes, tin buckets or other larg conveyors. These said pans, or buck ets, were a part cf the daily apparc of Dawson's negro cooks; a well reg ulated cook being considered not prop erly accoutered unless a tin pan, o its equivalent, were a part of her out tit. Coming to work in the morning or going ihome at night, Dawson'i negro cooks carried tin pans as th accepted insignia of their rank an culling. "Then, ulu? and alack 1 some Daw son genius, who sought the bubble rep utation in local legislative halls, rati] er than at the cannon's mouth, cam forward with an ordinance making i unlawful, within the corporate limit of Dawson, for a negro cook to carr; a tin pan, or bucket, in going to an< from her work?particularly from. "The possession of such tinware, a such time and place, was, by solemi enactment of the Dawson city council decreed to be prima facie evidence o intent to convert, secrete and appro priate to one's own use?or that o; some third person?the proiiertv o another, consisting muinly of food without the party's |;ubwledge ant consent: the same constituting pettj theft. "Such was the anti-pan-totiug ord inance of t^iis far-seeing southwes (Jeorgia town; and these were its re suits: According to the Lord Mayoi of Dawson, Hon. John Mercer Bel! 'it has saved many dollars to the fani ilies of Dawson, and it has causei many negro men to go to work win formerly were fed by the pan route. "In other words, as Mayor Bell fur tlier explains, " 'The practice of cooks taking houie with them all left-over and un cooked foods had become a seriou: item of exi?ense. It was u habit tha the individual householder seemed un able to stop. The ordinance was tin only solution, and it has worked ad miraldy.' "So it has come to pass, that Daw son is no longer known to fame mere ly as the birthplace of some of th< best newspaper men in the south? which latter was not entirely of he: own violation -but has suddenly leap ed to a higher niche and must hence forth be known us the home of th< lawgivers, who are as wise in ther day as was Solomon in his time; or oven more so, for Solomon never hat a pan-toting problem to solve and probably, wouldn't have solved it s< well as Dawson has had he been pu to the task."

"He was a school master," said Mr Stevenson, a school master who wai able to control a Democratic Congresi as he 'had controlled hi sclasses it school." "It was thought that a practical man was needed," he said, and ther went on o explain that in 1884 we had just such a man. but that practica and strorfg as that man was, ihe was unable to manage a Congress overbranches. r .-o- , He then told his audience of how Mr. Wilson has succeeded in spite ol the odds he has had to contend with he had succeeded in pufing on th< statute books more constructive legis combined during the past fifty years nIInSIhIB ever receive the proper balance of food to sufficiently nourish both body and brain during the growing period when nature's demands are greater than in matnre life.
