COLONEL MIKE COVINGTON’S HEN.
Certain uncorroborated stories have appeared lo the columns of The
Houston Post—stories that no leas authority than the president has char
acterized as “nature faking." In the Interest of truth and veracity. The
Georgian baa exposed the utter Impossibility of any such things happen
ing as The Post records.
*“■ Rabmt-devourltig bass, bens that lay eggs enough en route to distant
markets to pay the freight and simitar chronicling! heve been mercilessly
exposed by this paper. Unhappily many reputable paper* over the country
have not only swallowed The Post stories, but have evolved other* even
more weird.
'Modestly and unassumingly The Georgian has printed aome well au
thenticated accounts of happenings In this state. Attention la directed
to a story appearing In yesterday's Georgian concerning the attempt of
an Atlanta hen to commit suicide.
The hen Is tho property of Colonel Mike Covington, a gentleman of
character and strict veracity. A modest man, too. who told the story with
tears In his eyes. It does not appear, but The Georgian has no doubt that
Colonel Covington had cause for remorse. It Is probable that he spoke
harshly to the biddy or through some error visited unintentional slight
upon her. Of that he will not apeak.
But he waa horrified on going Into the poultry yard the other morn
ing to find his favorite hen hanging by the neck from tome stout vines.
He rushed forward and released the suffering hen and tenderly ministered
to her until she had recovered. Colonel Covington says that he can never
forget the expression of sorrow and despair written upon her countenance.
She looked at him with such deep reproach, mixed with affection, that ha
was moved to tears.
From a less reliable source than Colonel Covington even Tba Geor
gian would look upon this unusual occurrence with suspicion. But from
such an unimpeachable wltnesa It Is accepted In perfect faith. Moreover
the young man who reported It for The Georgian Is so enamored of truth
that be will not tell his wife that be bos been to the lodge, when be la out

LETTER FROM AN OLD LADY IN A GEORGIA TOWN.
Tho following from Collier's for June 15, la the echo of a voice from
the South rich In that quality which Southerners love but nowadays bear
all too seldom:
Slaves of the lamp in our unlovely little Babel, we scurry about from
year end to year end at the bidding of our various masters. We never
get rich enough nor famous enough, and although we croak a great deal
and pretend we don't like It, we know we do. Most of us came to Nov
York from quieter places, where folk* lived every day Instead of once
a week, and away back In our congested cerebra Is • picture of the place
wo are'golng to when the right tima comes and wo can run away to the
Islands of the Bleat. All of us In the speclsl little eddy from which this
paper Is weekly spouted forth have such a picture, now, at any rate, if wo
didn't before—through the happy thought of the "Life In Our Town” con
test—thla letter came:
“LaGrange, Ga., March 18, 1907.
"Dear Colliers—I am an old lady Just entering my 71st year,
but I lovo my old town and want to tell you about It. LaGrange Is
In mlddlo Georgia, Just two hours ride from Atlanta. It has about
8,000 Inhabitants and Is Just full of life. We have six cotton mills,
a guano factory. Ice factory, two large female colleges and a pub
lic school with about 1,000 students. Paved streets, electric lights,
and three large banks controlling lots of money. We have a his
toric town, too, for hero that silver-tongue Benjamin H. Hill spent
his happy childhood, 'here he brought hla young bride, here his
children wero born and here his first maiden speeches proclaim
ing to the world what a grand man he was to he. His old colo
nial homo still stands here as a memorial. Here also were the
homes of Walter T. Colquitt and Governor Alfred H. Colquitt,
United States senator from Georgia.
“LaGrange Is called the City of Elms and Roses, and If you
could see It In spring time you would certainly say the name was
honestly given. Our homes have all beautiful gardens I do wish
some of the Collier staff would come and see us and our town
and let us show you what Is true Southern hospitality and what
a fine climate, water, etc., as well as a great cotton markot.
"Now, dear Colllor’s, I want to thank you for your fearless
manner In attacking all those quaok medicines, for It Is high
time for them to bo suppressed and you doserve tho credit for
coming boldly to tho front, for It seems no one else had the cour
age.
"I like your candor In defondlng that grand old man, General
Robert E. Lee, but will stop for fear I have run over my 1,000
words. Pleaso promise me You will not put this tn tbo waste
basket. Very respectfully,
"MRS. CAROLINE E. GAY."
‘Waste-basket! Inscribed In our hearts, rather, set up on the bright
mountain peak of Hope, where the aun shines three hundred and slxty slx
days In the year! We like to think of the South as ono of those Blessed
Islands, left tn a busy and sometimes careless world, where everything Is
kindness and courtesy and good cheer. Sometimes, when we are misun
derstood and Southerner* write ua to go off and Jump Into the tea, this
Is hard to do, and we are hurt and puttied. LaGrange. however, make*
our dreams come true. We are all going there aome day—going to walk
under tho elm trees, sit on the white porticos and look out at those rose
gardens; but first and most Important of all we will find that particular
white portico and rose garden from which this letter came, there to greet
and to thank, face to face, as we do now In these dull words, the gracious
hostess who has restored our Illusions and been so kind.
THAT $6,000 SHOULD BE SUBSCRIBED NOW.
A campaign which ha* been on for some time In the Interest of a
Young Men’s Christian Association building at the University of Georgia
at Athens will come to a close Saturday. It Is proposed to erect a stru»
ture that will cost about 176,000. Of thla amount (70.000 has been secur
ed by the sub-committee of the state committee of the Y’ouug Men’s
Christian Association.
Five thousand dollara la yet needed to Insure the building. The
Georgian la heartily In sympathy with the movement, and treats that
friends of tho association and of the university will respond liberally
within the two days remaining, that the sum necessary to complete the
building fund may be In hand promptly.
The great majority of the itudenta at the state university come
from all parts of Georgia. Of necessity, they live In boarding houiea while
attending college. Officially, the untverstty does not assume to took after
the social and religious welfare. The Young Men's Christian Association
would supply this want. The special committee to secure funds for the
building Is composed of Chancellor David C. Barrow, C. A. Rowland. E.
J. Bondunnt and Harry Hodgson. This commltteo has Issued an offl.
dal statement setting forth the need of having such an Institution on tbo
university campus and urging that those Interested lose no time In send
ing In pledges to make up the sum necessary to completo the fund.

CURE FOR SPINAL MENINGITI8.
Striking success was attained by the
cure of spinal meningitis In Berlin with
the aid of the new serum discovered by
Professor Wnssermann, successor to
Prorcsaor Koch as chltf of the celebrat
ed Prussian lnstltutt tor Infectious
Diseases, says a Berlin cable to the
Houston Post. The cure was effected
under the direction of Dr. Herman
Schmidt, chief of the first army hos
pital In Berlin. In the cate of a soldier
lying at death's door. The worst fea
tures of the ailment disappeared atter
three Injections of the serum, given
within one week.
The serum Is obtalnsd from horses
after the animals hsvs been Inoculated
with larga quantities of "mentngn coc
ci.” or the germs responsible for spinal
meningitis. Ths curative action takes
place following ths contact bstweeu'
the "mentngn coed" and ths so-called I
"Icucothydee,” or w-hlts corpuscles of
the blood.
Similar experiments. likewise -me

My first bit of advice to se man who
hires women to work for m Is this;
Don't expect to get more u yon pay
When a mtn Marts out to buy s bill of
E oode. or a horse, or n piece of machinery,
e does not eipect more than his money s
worth. He does not expect to get broad
cloth for the price of canton flannel. He
does not eipect to get a race horse for
the amount he would have to pay for a
country plug. He does hot expect to boy
a 1907 Imported model tooting car for the
price of o year before last Caroline buggy.
He doesn't even expect to get n DelmouTco
lunch for the prices that obtain nt a quick
lunch joint.
He knows that there It a mighty Inti
mate connection In this world between the
price of e thing aud the money It will coet,
nnd that If you get the best of any article
you heve to pey for It.
Yet men end women hire female labor
because It Is cheap, and then complain be-
cents It ti not expert.
The Reel Servant Trouble.
Tbte it the cist of the whole servant
.rouble, and when you alt down calmly
nnd dispassionately and mushier the nut

we can not get e women who has mattered
