"Friends," said be, 'Miere is tbe perpetual motion machine, something that iias been sought for in vain through all ages. No one hut a knave or a fool will deny that a perpetual motion machine is what we all ueed'to remove all the cares and worries of lite. Uowcver, yoa cauuot expect absolute .perfection on this earth, and iu frankness I am going to tell yon that there is but one little flaw in my ma* chine. I shall leave it to you to remove Uiat flaw. The only thing this machine needs is something to keep the wheels iu motion." - The ouly thing that prevents prohibition from prohibiting in Georgia is the 6sle and use of liquor in Georgia. Aside from this defect it would be captiously critical to poiut out any ad ditioual Haws. The prohibitionists admit that prohibition is not preventing the use of an enormous amount of liquor. "But give itaclianee," they say, 'tit will come out alright in the long run." This "long run" talk, in view of the actual conditions, puts oue in mind of the farmer who yoked himself up with a calf. The calf weut bucking and bawl ing down a steep hillside, and the man said earnestly to the calf; "If something don't stop us, we'll break our ding necks." Here are official figures show ing the rule at which Augusta and inhibition are ruiinlng down hill, as proven by the num ber of arrests for drunkeuness: 1906?January, 19b; February, 214; Murch, 260. 1907?January, 227; February, 241, Murch, 318. 1908?January, 167; February, 178, March, 190. 1909?January, 217; February, 242; March, 323. Iu 1908, when prohibition was new, there was a falling off in the number of drunks, but in 1909 the condiiions are almost exactly the same us they were in 1907. Before prohibition wont into effect there were 100 licensed saloons in Augusta, There are now sixty oue near beer places. It is clear, therefore, that Au gusta is iu the same fix with sixty one prohibition joints us site wus with 100 licensed sa loons. But the near beer places, are not to be held responsible for all of drunkenness iu Augusta?not by a large part of a little blown jug full. Seeking expert testimony, this writer asked of a negro hack driver: '?How does prohibition a fleet the people?" The negro grinned and made a remark that is well worth the consideration of frieuds of the black man: "Boss de white folks is do 11 made walkiu' saloons out of de niggers?but some of us drives." Business men are almost unani mous in the statement that it is now much harder to get de pendable negro labor than it was before the prohibitiou law Weut into effect. MHow can I expect a negro to work for me for *7 or #8 a weok when he can make $7 or ** a day selling boose?" asked one. The fact is that prohibition hns created a special place for the negro boot.legger. The negro caters to the trausieut trade and to the wants of those to whom the near bear houses are afraid to sell. IJeul beer is sold opgoly, but in Georgia the stranger must rely mainly on the negro for whiskey. Residents can get fljytiling they want if tlioy are regarded as "safe," but the trausieut is looked upon with distrust and he must have the jpatfjrojtf, or at ll>e "hi#h bty from tb* booi j !?X|?)r* faMMM tbej cannot ob ttoki wMtkti.Mftirale. from (bt qmt Jbaer MUbHihaeoU. The draokuds patronise lb* boot logger beoMM fie can mII them so-called whiskey by the drink for a oickle. It is no exaggeration to suy that Georgia is sick and tired of prohibition. There is a strong and wide-spread sentiment in favor of discarding orohibitlon and adopting a system of rfjtrt latiou that will curtail the ubust#s that prevail. ? It is generally believed thai the Legislature, which meets in Juue. will tuftke radical chanjres in the law. . A return to the saloon system as it existed before the prohi bitiou law weut into effect is uot expected. But it is believed that a majority of the Legisln ture, House and Senate are in favor of a measure permitting the legal sale of ulcoholic bever ages in origiual^ packages and permitting the sale of liquor with meals at bona fide hotels. Mother's Little Darling. The following story was told me the other day. I do uot tell it for the truth, but give it be | cause it is a good one: "A Northern gentleman, his wifeanfl three year old boy were visiting in South Georgia; it was their first night in that section. | The mother hud just put the little oue to bed. ?Now, go right to sleep, darlings Don't be afraid, for the angels are watching over you.'

"Tlio Florida Blossoms." "The Florida Blossoms", a colored minstrel show, played hero oil Saturday night. We ut? tended the perforin,nice, and talce pleasure in saying that we havo ilever witnessed anything in the way of a minstrel show that pleased us better. The music by the brass bifnd was ex cellent; the orchestra will corn paro favorably with that in al most any theatre;- the singing was above the average by bolli male nnd female voices, and the dancing wis really fine. A pe culiarity of the performance given by this troupe was the abyenco of negro dialect. Very little of this was indulged in. The several little hits by the end men were directed entirely towards the colored rnce, and every hit provolcod broad smiles or shouts of laughter. The show was an absolutely clean one, the dancing by the girl? being in the minds of many, modest to a fault.

This remedy strengthens and tones up the kidneys, helping them to drive out of the body the liquid poisons that cause backache, headache ami distressing kidney and uritiarv complaints. Ca::u!en people testify to permanent cures. H. T. Gladden, Market Street, Camden, S. C.} says: "I had kidney trouble , for two years. My kidneys were weak and there was a constant desire to void the secretions, this being especially bothersome at night. I also suffered from dull pains in my bucic and 1 could not move around without enduring misery, I used'remedy after remedy but received no relief, until recently I was advised to try Doat/s Kidney Pills and 1 procured a box at Jump's drug store. They benefitted me so greatly that I continued their use until the backache had disappeared. My kidneys were stronger and my general health was improved." For Sale by all deafer#. Price 60c.
