MOORE & PROCTOR,
No. 313 Broad Street. HOME, GEORGIA
|s w
When a town orj'city has a poor
street car service, visitors, citizens
and the newspapers direct much hard
language at the company, and there
is no bashfulness about kicking with
vigor. It’s a pleasing and restful kind
of amusement, and no one is too poor
to add a few pounds to the weight of
the company’s existence. ~
I remember one town I once lived
in where we took great delight in such
paragraphs as this:
“Streetcar No. 2 was only three
days behind schedule time yester
day.”
Or like this:
“While a street car was going at full
speed yesterday a stray cow slipped
up behind and bit one of the passen
gers. It would be well to have fenders
on the rear of the cars.’’
I thought that was fair and I guess
it was. If so, then it is fair and right
* f>rme to now use a little space in
stating that Rome is certainly blessed
with an excellent service, one that
cities much larger might well be
proud of and one that pleases the
people. I maKe this statement without
the suggestion of any one connected
with the street railway, or anybody
else for that matter, and make it sim
ply because it’s right and just. We
are always ready to jump on them
when the service is bad, and it’s only
fair that the company should know
of our appreciation of the excellent
service.
The people hire have become so
accustomed to it that they hardly
know how good it is. J ust let them go
to another city of about this size, no
tice the street Car system and they
will come back with a comparison
hugely in our saver. Mr. Marvin and
his company are to be congratulated.
Apropos of electric cars it may be
news to you to know that a motor
man is said to be one of the best of
weather prophets. Here’s the way a
New York paper tells about it.
“This rain is about over.” said a
motorman on one of the open cars
yesterday afternoon.
“Are you a weather prophet?” was
asked.
“1 think I am, as far as dry or wet
weather is concerned,” he replied.
“I can tell whether we’ll have rain
within twenty-four hours or not.
“How am I able to do it? Well, it’s
like this: When it’s going to rain the
brake-handle becomes sticky almost a
day before. The motorman will first
notice it fully twenty hours before the
storm arrives. You qan just barely
notice it then, but the stickiness will
increase until it will be almost impos
sible to get a decent giip - without
tearing the flesh or. your hands. Now,
on Friday night, I began to feel that
sticky business, and I told a fellow
who was on the seat behind me that
it was going to rain. The sky was
clear, and after he glanced around he
said that I was away off. I said, ‘I
don’t say it’s to rain right
away, but it will beiore this time to
morrow,’ and it did. Oh. there’s no
going back on the brake as a barome
ter.”
At this point in the motorman’a re
marks a passenger boarded the car.
The front seat was about filled, but
that did not m itter. He wanted to
talk with the motorman.
"Is the rain all over?” was his query.
“Pretty near,” answered the elec
tricity pusher.
••Well, I’m glad of that. Do you
know,” continued the latest arrival,
“I place more confidence in a motor
man’s prediction than 1 do in those
made by the weather signal man?”
The motorman blushed becomingly.
They also tell us that the motorman
and conductor get to see some very
striking plays of human nature,
mostly of the exasperating variety—
but, as Kipling says, that’s another
story.

Yesterday Schlapbach started a cow to
the slaughter pen, which was so against
her inclinations that she broke away on
a dead run down Broad street. Nothing
could stop her, and she tore down the
alleyway next to Bud Satterfield’s bar.
Just as she reached the side door Jimß
mie McCarty uncorked a bottle of Eureka
and set it on the counter.
The cow stopped, and sniffed the air
Then she stopped and deliberately walked
into the bar and up to the counter. Jim

to drink as she was a minor.
She was finally persuaded to leave the
bar and was captured.

The new crop of cotton is now being

Three or four visitors from the North
have put in an appearance. Every one
who comes here expresses delight with
the beauty of the locality.
Active preparation is being made by
Mr. Hunking for the establishment of a
school at the earliest possible day. About
a hundred pupils are expected, and one
of the tenements will be utilized until a
school house can be planned and built.
The mill is now in complete operation.
So far only two kinds of cloth are being
made, both for export; but it is expected
to increase the variety later.
A new engineer, Mr. A. E. Trude Jakes

than twelve engines and steam pumps in
the works.

The Same-
Old Sarsaparilla.
That’s Ayer’s. The same old
sarsaparilla as it was made and
sold by Dr. J. C. Ayer 50 years
ago. In the laboratory it is
different. There modern appli
ances lend speed to skill and
experience. But the sarsapa
rilla is the same old sarsaparilla
that made the record — 50 years
of cures. Why don’t we better
it? Well, we’re much in the
condition of the Bishop and the
raspberry: “ Doubtless, ”he
said, “God might have made a
better berry. But doubtless,
also, He never did. ” Why
don’t we better the sarsaparilla?
We can’t. We are using the
same old plant that cured the
Indians and the Spaniards. Z#
has not been bettered. And
since we make sarsaparilla com
pound out of sarsaparilla plant,
we see no way of improvement.
Os course, if we were making
some secret chemical compound
we might.... But we’re not.
We’re making thq same old sar
saparilla to cure the same old
diseases. You can tell it’s the
same old sarsaparilla be
cause it works the same old
cures. It’s the sovereign blood
purifier, and— it’s Ayers.
