TO THE POINT
In formally accepting the demo
from
the sixth congressional district
Hon. Sam Rutherford expressed him
self to the point as regard several
important matter, says the Macon
Telegraph.
He laid Stress upon the fact that
i Unless
work and life in the country
are made more attractive, we may
expect the production of food stuffs
in Georgia and elsewhere to dwindle
to an alarming extent. There must
he an adjustment in the markets and
otherwise that will make the busi
ness of farming more profitable.
Mr. Rutherford recognizes that
the large majority given him at the
polls only increases his responsi
bility, as the servant of all the
people; and he promises that he
shall be true to that responsibility.
In order that he might be free to
act, he declared, all contributions to
his campaign were refused and no
promises were made by him to his
friends or *hyone~eTs¥. ”
He expressed appreciation of the
“wisdom of the constitution” in de
daring for freedom of religion,
speech and press, and declared that
“the press of the country should be
the greatest agency for the educa
tion of the people along proper
lines. » whereas a it is generally
known that there is hardly an inde
pendent paper in our country. M
Mr. Rutherford goes to Washing
ton with worthwhile ideals.
We believe he can be counted
upon to act in terms of those ideals.
SCOTLAND WANTS HOME RULE
Recent political events in Scot
land indicate a very distinct de
mand for a national parliament and
the right to rule their country ac
cording to national desires.
Ever since the parliaments of
1707, Scottish representatives have
formed only a small minority of the
British parliament, union of the
English and Scottish, and, as a con
sequence, Scotland has had to ac
cept whatever legislation the Eng
lish majority thought good for it.
Had Scotland assimilated the
English point of view, or England
adopted that of Scotland this would
have worked out all right, but, as a
matter of fact, in many respects
the two countries remain as much
apart today as they were Centu
ries ago.
IS EDUCATION DESIRABLE?
One of the most encouraging in
dications of forthcoming business
prosperity in the United States is
the marked increase in the public
school registration. Since the gen
eral opening of the high schools in
virtually every city has reported
appreciable increases in enrollment.
According to the United States
bureau of education, out of a given
100 students in the fifth grade, ec
onomic conditions are such that
only 34 start the first of the year
in high school; 24 finish the

SOME EARLY fflSTORY OF SPALDING
COUNTY
The items published herein are
all culled from the columns of the
Griffin Daily News.
"Dr. J. D. Head, a former rest*
dent of Griffin, died at his home in
Butts county, November 18, 1882.
He had been blind for 10 or 12
years and was about 80 years old.
Mrs. Robert Strickland, George
Head, Dick Head and Miss Mattie
Head were all his children.”
Mr. A. H. Hatton, residing near
Teamon church, died suddenly No
vember 23, 1882. He was a step
father of Captain T. J. Brooks. n
<< A small wagon load of possums
was offered for sale on the streets
yesterday. They found a readier
sale than apples.
’Possums for Sale. \
“Such a year for crops of all
kinds was never known before. Yet
we go on complaining.” (1882).
u Sam, Abel Wright's little Scotch
terrier, is dead. He was accidentally
killed while out hunting rabbits on
November 29, 1882. Abel brought
him home, made him a casket out of
pine boards, buried him with a sad
heart, and is now having a marble
slab made to mark his resting
place.” (Requiescat in Pace.)
<< Rev, G, H, Pattlllo is the new
presiding elder of the Griffin
triet for next year (1883), while
* lev - Simon Peter Richardson is pas
tor of the local M. E. church,
south.”
“Mrs. John McIntosh Kell, whose
husband points to a glorious record
aboard the Conferedate man of war
Alabama entered a number of ar
ticles in the art exhibit of the state
fair at Macon, Ga., this fall, 1882.
Among the number is the key to
the cabin of the Alabama, six Chi
nese idols, collected by Capt. Kell
while in China, a Chinese necklace,
and a most equisite set of Chinese
chess, also three exquisitely carved
Chinese cocoa frames for pictures.
In addition she exhibited several
valuable engravings and pictures of
foreign production.
J. P. Nichols Elected Cashier
u Capt. D. D. Peden has resigned
as cashier of the Griffin Banking
Company and J. P. Nichols has been
elected to succeed him and Jftj will en
dischaPgd^
ties July 2, 1883. tf
“The survivors of Company B, 5th
Georgia regiment, will meet July
2, 1883, at the office of Sorrell &
Nall. S. W. Mangham, ex-captain,
Company B.”
«< The Griffin Manufacturing Com
pany has made application for a
charter. The original inHorporators
were W. J. Kincaid, A. Scheurman,
S. Grantland, J. D. Boyd, H. C.
Burr, J. M. Brawner, N. B. Drewry,
M. L. Bates and G. J. Drake. The
capital stock was $100,000, with the
privilege of increasing it to $£50,
000. S. Grantland was attorney for
the incorporators. (July 1st, 1883.)
First Cotton Mill.
This was the first cotton mill
erected in Griffin. Capt. W. J.
Kincaid, deceased, was the prime
mover and pioneer in this line of
activity. Of all the original incor
porators, all are dead, save our es
teemed townsman, J. _M. Brawner.
Much credit is due these far vision
ed men for the industrial position
the city occupies today. They were
indeed pioneers. They blazed the
way, ancj today we have sene large
cotton mills and all paying propo
sitions.
“Dr. E. R. Anthony will open a
drug store in about six weeks at
the old Reeves stand.
“Rev. George R. McCall, of this
place, has been elected a trustee
of Monroe Female College, at For
syth. ” ( This college is now known
as sophomores; 18 qualify, then, as
juniors; 13 secure the coveted high
school diploma; 7 of these 13 en
ter the first year of college; 5 re
turn and finish the second year’s
work; 3 are able to qualify for the
third year and but one out of the
original hundred is graduated from
college.
This is a condition that is in sad
need of correction and demands the
serious consideration of the men and
of America.

BANK ROBBER GETS $805
WHILE CASHIER DINES
Chattanooga, Sept. 26.—A report
reached Sheriff Tom Selman here
last night that the Sequatchie coun
ty bank, at Dunlap, Tenn., had been
robbed of $805 yesterday at noon,
a bandit having broken into the
building while the cashier was at
lunch. No clue to the identity of
the perpetrator had been discovered
it was reported.
A LAUGH OR TWO
A young author remarked to a
friend, “I wish I had some way of
developing my imagination.”
“I once had an acquaintance that
developed the most wonderful im
agination I have ever seen, H an
swered his friend.
With eager expectation the yonug
author asked:
What did he do? What did he
get?”
The answer came sadly: “He got
the delirium tremens.
When -old Mr. Jones made his
first visit to the city he saw and
heard a great many new and
strange things, but he was always
wary of his comments.
One day his little granddaughter
enticed him into a tea shop, and
leading him to a small table, pro
ceeded to order some eclairs, a del
icacy of which she was extremelp
fond. »
<< I know you’ll like them, grand
pa,” she said, coaxingly, and the old
gentleman bravely tackled the un
familiar object.
“Isn’t it delicious, grandpa?” in
quired the little girl, seeing her
grandfather’s face as he took his
first mouthful.
it Well, it may be, said Mr. Jones,
in a non comm itta l tone, “hut Hnoan’t
it appear to you. to be just a little
mite underbaked in’ the middle?”
Some people never miss an op
portunity for contradiction. Which
fact recalls the story of a woman
who was traveling through “Wild
Wales. W
“My ain't them mountains high!”
exclaimed a fellow passenger.
The contradictory one looked out
of the window to see the summits
of the lofty hills and sniffed:
a Only the tops of them is” she
protested.
When a man has an opportunity to
become a hero he Is usually busy at
something else.
Some people would never want cer
tain things if they, didn’t see others
