THE HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF THE
ROAD.
Thcie are hermit souls that live withdrawn,
In the peace of their self content;
There are souls like star ; that dwell
JL
apart
In a fellowless firmament,
There are pioneer souls that blaze
a path
Where the highways never ran?
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road,
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side
of the road
Where the race of men go oy?
The men that are good, the men that
are bad?
As good and as bad as I,
Then why should I sit in the scorner's
seat, |
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in a house by the side;
of the road,
and be a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of
the road
By the side of the highway of life, \
The men that press on with the ardorj
of hope,
And the men that are faint with the
i
strife;
And I do not turn away from their
smiles and their tears?
Both parts of an infinite plan?
Let me live in a house by the side
of the road,
And -be a friend to man
I know there brook-gladdened meadows
ahead,
-*? ? _ *
Ana mountains 01 weansuuic \
height;
That the road stretches on through
the long afternoon
And passes away to the night.
Yet still I rejoice when the travelers
rejoice.
And weep when the strangers that
moan;
Nor live in my house by the side of
of the road
Like a man that lives alone.
Let me live in a house by the side of
of the road,
? 9
\V? ere tne race of men g<> by;
They are good, they are bad, they
are weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish'; so am I.
Then why should I sit in the scorner's
seat,
, Or hurl a cynic's ban?
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road,
And be' a friend to man.

More New School
At the last session of th^ State
Board of Education held in Columbia
a few weeks ago seventy-one new;
books were adopted to be used m tfte
schools of the state. The way they
made changes would seem that they
forgot the fact that the war was on.
They<displaced 29 old books and adopted
23 new ones to take their place.
We think the time has come when1
the people of the State should say
something about this wholesale adop-\
tion of new books to take the place of
those already on hand. You take the
average family of five children and in-1
variably you have to buy new books
for every child as it reaches school j
age, whereas if there was less changes
at least two or three of the children
could use the same books.
It would be a good idea to do away
with the adoption of new books only
? 4-^v. >-c- tVion or olse nut
CV CI y ecu jcaio, u mv.., f J
people on the board that had foresight
nough to select books that would
not have to be changed with every!
"setting, of the sun."
The State board certainly must
think the people have nothing else to!
do with their money but to pour it
into the coffers of the book trust This!
may not effect the well-to-do city;
dweller, but it is becoming quite bur-'
densome upon the poor people who
can scarcely spare their children from
their work. We hope some wise Leg-!
islator will take the matter in hand

The foregoing comes pretty nigh j
hitting the bull's eye; and we believe
pretty well represents the sentiment
of the great masses of people.
Are You One of Them? i
There are a great many people who
would be very much benefited by taking
Chamberlain's Tablets for a weak
or disordered stomach. Are you one
of them? Mrs. M. R. Searl, Baldwinville,
N. Y., relates her experience
in the use of these tablets: "I
had a bad spell with my stomach about
six months ago, and was troubled for
two or three weeks with gas and severe
pains in the pit of my stomach.
Our druggist advised me to take
Chamberlain's Tablets. I took a bottle
home and the first dose relieved me
wonderfully, and I kept on taking

Girls Have Pretty Face
And Beautiful Complexion
An Atlanta man makes new discovery
that makes an old face look
years younger. If your skin is dark,
Drown, or covered with freckles or
i blemishes, just use a little Cocotone
i Sir in Whitener: it's made with cocoa
1 nut oil and is perfectly harmless. A
jfew days' use will improve your looks
100 per cent. The wornout skin
I comes off evenly leaving no evidence
) of the treatment, the new healthy under-skin
appearing as a lovely new
I complexion.
Just ask your druggist for an o"unce
of Cocotone Skin Whitener, and if he
| will not supply you send twenty-five
(cents to The Cocotone Co., Atlanta,
lr-9 thev will send you a box by
; return mail.
I If your hair is hard to comb, is kiniky,
nappy and will never stay straight,
just use Cocotone Hair Dressing
: and it will become straight and long,
(soft, glossy and beautiful in a few
(days. Mail orders filled, 25c for

It's Great To Be An Editor.
An editor is just naturally up
against it.
If he publishes cigarette advertisements
he is acused of debauching the
youth of the land.
If he says he doesn't like coca-cola
he is liable to lose an advertising contract.
If he says it is a fine drink he
is suspected of being subsidized.
If he denounces liquor and advocates
prohibition people Say he is a
fanatic and a reformer. If he keeps
silent on the subject they say he is
afraid to talk out and intimate he is
a licker-head.
If he contends for what he thinks
is right and his ideas don't happen to
coincide with the opinions of those in
high places, he is denounced for
showing disrespect to constituted authority.
If he doesn't have anything at all
to say on his editorial page the other
papers won't exchange with him.
If he proposes public movements
somebody on the outskirts casually
suggests that the editor is after some
graft.
If he endorses one man for public
office he makes all the other candidates
mad.
fit he doesn't endorse anybody he is
told he hasn't any backbone.
H he doesn t pnj his bills when they
a ro r>**esen*-eJ his credit rating goes
ijr.wn to zero in the minutes. If he
tries to collect the money owing
h m, he is told to come back next
week.
If he stops the poner of a subscriber
who owes him for 5 years back he
makes an enemy. If he doesn't stop
it he loses that much every week.
If J5i Perkins comes to town to sell
two and a half dozen eggs and the paper
doesn't say that Mr. Perkins made
a flying business trip to the city last
week the editor is charged with being
"stuck up."
If the town needs improvements
and the editor says so he makes big
tax payers mad If he sleeps over
the subject his subscribers say he is
afraid to tell the truth.
If he doesn't charge less for job
printing than the out-of-town printer
he loses the order If he does charge
less and gets the order he fails to
make any profit.
If he calls names he is liable to get
all beat up If he doesn't they say he
is a coward
If he lives at all he is lucky. If he
dies they say it served him right.
Gee its great to be an editor.?The

CHANCELLOR STANDS FOR
^ THE SUBMARINE WAR.j
Copenhagen, July 19.?Dr. Michal-i
| is, the new German imperial chancel-j
i lor in an address to the Reichstag yes- !
iteraay afternoon, declared his adne-i
sion to Germany's submarine cam-J
ipaign, asserting it to be a lawful meas-;
ure, justifiably adopted for shortening (
the war.
i Dr. Michaelis opened his speech be
> fore his audience with a hearty trib-j
ute to Dr. von Bethmann-Holweg, the
! retiring- imperial chancellor, trhoss
work, he said, history would apprecijate.
The Chancellor declared thai the:
war was forced on unwilling Girma-!
j ny by the Russian mobilization: and ;
i that the submarine war also wasforc- jj'
ed upon Gemany by Great Briain's
j illegal blockade starvation war <
The faint hope that America, t the s
head of the neutrals, would heck i
Great Britain's illegality was Vain. 1
Germany's final attempt to avoj the 1
extremity by a peace offer faile and 1
the submarine campaign was adpted, f
j said the Chancellor. ? d
The submarine, declared the $eak- g
ier, had done all and more than hadll;
jbeen expected and the false prohets a
'who had predicted the end of tliwar b
;at a definite time had done a e5er-jt'

ato grower but all of his other crops
re excellent.
