HURAL LETTER CARRIERS
HAD CONVENTION SATURDAY.
Carriers From all Over District Had Good
Meeting at Court House—Hon. H. H.
Perry and Mrs. Ham Addressed
Meeting.
The Ninth District Association of
Rural Letter Carriers held their
annual convention at this place Sat
urday with a heavy attendance, ex
ceeding any former meeting in at
tendance ever before held of the
Ninth District Association.
President G. W. Gould expressed
gratification at the attendance.
Hon. H. H. Perry was present and
addressed the meeting in a manner
most fitting. Col. Perry said, dur
ing his discourse, that he was
pleased with the consideration the
department on Post office affairs at
Washington was showing the rural
men, and gratified that the depart
ment had made an increase in their
salaries, and that he hoped in
the very near future the depart
ment could see its way clear to make
further advance.
Mr. Perry said the rural carriers
were doing much good for the ad
vancement of education, in that
they carried literature to the remote
sections of the country.
And as conclusive evidence that
the carriers were entitled to further
increase in pay, he said that the
parcels post, recently adopted, made
the work of the carriers almost
double in some instances, and that
this system was increasing all the
time.
Mrs. H. W..J. Ham also addressed
the meeting for a few minutes, ex
pressing appreciation of the hearty
co-operation she was receiving from
the local carriers in an effort to give
the patrons of the Gainesville office
the best and most efficient service.
Alter the minutes of the last
meeting were read .and adopted,
and Ihe various work of the organi
zation was disposed of, t..e election

It Was Some Game.
Last Friday evening the Newman-
Priersou-McEver nine crossed bats
with the nine of W. J. & E. C. Pal
mour at Brenau Park, and if you
did not see this game you missed
more fun than you may ever expect
to hear of in Gainesville.
There were so many features to
the game that it could not b'e de
cided by a half dozen Philadelphia
lawyers which were the main ones. •
but according to the writer’s way of
seeing things the main feature was
a Rausum Gitter pushing down a I
thirty foot section of the fence, |
being the first time we ever heard 1
of such a thing. Especially at a
free game.
The next main feature of the game
was several runs by Senator
Ernest Palmour, and. take it from
us, he can run.
Also Erskine Little made a home !
run that put him square with the!
fans. And Bob Greenway and 1
J. W. McElhannon and C. E. Smith
and Arthur Roper and many others !
pulled off some plays. The final 1
score was 6 to 5 in favor of both j
sides some say—but was awarded to
the Newman - Frierson - M eEve '
Nine.
GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1914
NEW PHASES IN AUTOMOBILE
LAWS FOR GAINESVILLE.
■ Two Younq Men Fined for Making Unnecessary
Noise with Horn —F. M. Johnson, Star
Witness, Helps Pay Fines.
A new idea in the running of an
automobile in the city of Gainesville
came under observation at police
matinee Tuesday afternoon when
Neal Powell and Frank Pendergrass,
. employees of the Georgia Power
i Co., were haled into court charged
•with disorderly conduct, which hap-
I pened to be the unnecessary noise
lof tooting their horn while coming
up Main street.
Col. F. M. Johnson was the city's
' star witness, and when Mayor Ru
i dolph fined them $2, shorn of the
i usual costs that accompanies the
i city fines, the Col. paid $1 on the
i fines and gave the defendants his
witness fee.
Ft seems that Monday morning the
boys, coming up Main street, saw a
couple of wagons ahead of them,
and according to their evidence they
blew their horn considerably, but
' according to the evidence of the
officers and Col. Johnson, they blew
their horn more than considerably.
Hence the fines.
Now, we would like to say that in
some cases the automobile drivers
do not blow their horns enough. We
did not hear this disturbance for
! which these young men were fined,
I and don’t know anything about it,
■ but if we had not spread out in the
i pedal extremities something after
the fashion of a bullfrog and made
good our escape a few days ago,
there would certainly have been a
bunch of our friends singing Rock
of Ages over our remains, and it was
all because a man failed to give
warning by use of his horn while
driving down Main street, right on
the spot where these boys were ar
] rested for blowing their horn. Os
i course it wouldn’t have amounted
■ to much about us, but some import-
■ ant individual might get killed
i some time.
There should be an ordinance com
pelling every automobile driver to
continually blow his horn while on
■ the main thoroughfares of the city.
It seems to us that what we need
just now is to put the ban on the
, speeders, not the fellow who toots
his - horn as warning to any who
. might carelessly step in front of his
' automobile while passing down the
street.
I You can go to any city and hard
ily hear yourself think for the hum
drum kept up by auto horns and
j street car gongs, yet with this the
j death rate of these modern convey
ances is appalling..
tit Helen Today.
j The Presbyteria Sunday school is
■at Helen today enjoying their an
' nual picnic. The Gainesville &
' Northwestern railway ran a special
I train for this occasion.
Visiting Former Home.
i Mrs. G. H. Hanchett left this week
for an extended visit in Connecticut,
her former home. Prof. Hanchet
: will reman at Brenau for the Sum
mer School.
• A Sweet Singer.
A large number of friends heard
Miss Ruth Smith in a song recital at
the Auditorium Wednesday even
ing. She sings with feeling., and
every word can be heard. For a
young singer her voice is remarka
ble —not only clear, but rich .and
sweet.
Brother Kendall Caught Them.
We clip the following from the
Hartwell Sun:
“On Sunday Dr. T. R. Kendall of
Gainesville preached the commence
ment sermon, which was a gem of
eloquence and beauty from begin
ning to eml. He is a forceful minis
i ter and held the audience in rapt
attention throughout the service.”
Dr. Kendall received a cheek for
.sls as further evidence of apprecia
tion after returning home.
Will Open Grocery.
Bud Smith will next week open
an up-to-date grocery store in the
building formerly occupied by the
People’s Bargain Store, on the pub
lic square. Messrs. Smith <fc Parks
dissolved partnership last week, the
latter taking over the entire stock,
and also purchasing the stock of
Mr. B. A. Rogers.
Mr. Smith is known by every man
and woman in Hall county, and that
he will do a good business goes
without the saying.

NUMBER 23
THERE ARE ALSO SOME
ANGLES IN THE CANTRELL
CASE WORTH NOTING
Jim Cantrell is Now Living on His Fourth Re
prieve—this Respite Like ail Others
was Granted to Throw the
Cases Back Together.
( BY STICKEM. )
“When will Bartow Cantrell be
re-sentenced?”
This seems to be the uppermost
question in the Cantrell case today—
the case that has as many “angles”
as the Frank case.
Solicitor McMillan was in town
Saturday ami said that the necessa
ry documents had been filed with
Judge Jones and that nothing re
mained to be done except for the
judge ,to order Bart before him for
final sentence.
The idea in Jim’s reprieves has
been that the two brothers might be
executed together; and if they do
hang, it should certainly be done at
one time. Justice demands it.
The Judge can wait until the reg
ular term of court to resentence
Bartow if he chooses, and in that
case Jim might be granted a further
respite, and on the other hand he
might be hung in advance of Bartow.
We have never heard of an ac
cessory being hung before the prin
cipal, and we have always thought
that justice demanded tiiat if any
party in a case got any consideration
it was the accessory rather than the
principal.
The majority of public sentiment
is for commutation for both the
boys, while there are some who
want them hung, giving their reason
“that the boys might get out in five
or if put in for life.”
“That would be a terrible calam
ity. Just look at other murderers
of Hall county who have been sen
tenced for life, and got out in a short
time.”
That makes a strong argument
against the Cantrell’s for a man who
never thinks. Some haven’t any
thing to think with.
Now, who on earth thinks that
those boys have any friends that
would circulate a petition asking for
a commutation of sentence should
executive clemency be extended
them?
Had not the Eagle taken up the
fight for the boys on the grounds of
their ignorance, there would never
have been a petition -circulated for
them, except the one their old fath
er, who is now broken in health and
nigh unto death from consumption,
circulated for them some months
ago.
To those who believe the Cantrell
boys would be pardoned in a few
years we will say:
These boys have neither money
nor political pull, as, has been the
case with other murderers of Hall
county who have escaped the gal
lows.
Politics and money have saved
many necks in Georgia, and because
these unfortunates have neither
money nor political prestige we must
make an example of them. That is
the spirit. It can not be because
the Hawkins murder was anymore
cold-blooded than some other mur
ders have been, for it was not.
Bart and Jim Cantrell have no
money, very few friends, ami noth
ing in common in politics.
“Damn them, we will break their
necks!”
That is a very poor spirit in a civ
ilized country that is teaching be
nighted heathen how to get to Glory.
A very poor spirit, indeed.
