If yon hare some don’t fail to carry them down and get your moneys worth. No more lasting or continued cold weather is expected this season so those who have not killed hogs had best do so at the first sign of s cool snap. The city election will be he’d on Tuesday next and the people will have a chance to vote for or against the paving amendment to the city ♦barter. A New Jersey two pound hoy was placed in an incubator and is ex pected to live. The doctor who thought of the plan is crowing over his versatility.

PadereweBkl is to come to this coun try again for a tour and he will be feted and admired and raved over as he has been since he won the recognition of the music loveie. The Masury hotel Is really twen ty-four years old but the Toscc as it is now called is new in every de tail, the brick walls being the only part left of the old hostelry. It Is right and proper that the peo ple of the town should decide where and how school bond money should be expended and the majority rule is the only one that directly settles the question. There was a primary fraud in Bibb county that is going to get at least four election managers into no end of court trouble. Indictments have been returned by the grand jury and arrests made. Girls are running a Michigan bas ketball team by sending the heroes of the court fudge by parcel post. The captain has ordered that It all b* sent to hint in future.

TIMFS-ENTKKPRISE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF COP NT Y. NOTICE: •Notice is hereby given that, in accordance with the Act of the Legislature of Georgia, approv ed August 15th, 11*10, we the undersigned by concurrent ac tion, have made the Times-En- terprise the official organ of Thomas County, Georgia, for the publication of Sheriff's Sales, Ordinary’s and Clerk’d Citations, or any other adver tising commonly known anil termed “Official or lA'gal Ad\er asing." and required by law to be published in siu-h County Official Newspaper, aud such ad vertising will appear in said Times-Enterprise on and after March 1st, 15*13. Said Times-Enterprise being a newspaper published in Tha.u- asvilte, Georgia, the county site of Thomas and mailed to a liet of bona-fide subscribers for a period of more than two y.-ars last past. T S. SINGLETARY. Sheriff. Will. M. JONES. Ordinary. J. W. GROOVER, Clerk. As will be seen from the above announcement, The Times-Enter-'% prise will become the official organ of Thomas County, after the first day of March. This advertising has been published In the Thomasvllle Press for the past four years. next Tuesday morning The Times-Enterprise will begin the issue of a semi-weekly. This will succeed the Weekly Times Enter prise, and will he published twice each week, Tuesday and Friday. It will contain all local news which can be gathered from the county, the County Commissioners minutes, the Sheriff’s, Ordinary’s and Clerk’s ad vertising and In addition, the latest and most accurate news of the State and of the world, as given in the de spatches of the Associated Press, the best news medium that this country affords. , We hope to make this one of the oest semi-weekly newspapers ever published in this section of the State, and various features to make it attractive will be secured during the year. Mr. J. N. Donaldson will have charge of the circulation of this pa per and we bespeak for him the good will of the entire county. All mat ters of subscription should be re ferred to him and during the year hi will make an effort to visit every subscriber of the paper. He Is an active, aggressive, circulation and has any number of friends all over Thomas county, who will glad to know that he has accepted this position. of public school teachers. It is quite as able to owe banks or bond holders as it is to owe the school teachers, and is in honor, if not by law, bound to pay the interest .which under the present arrangement conus out of the pockets of the teachers themselves. Will the next legislature take any steps to improve these humiliating conditions? It will not. However, r.o member of the House or Senate will have to wait for his $4 per day — and m.’eagc! LET I S TAKE TkAL ME AS The suggestion of the Clarke eoun. ;y grand jury that the pistol toting evil should be controlled through the enactment of a law forbidding the sale and manufacture of pistoh with barrels less than fifteen inches long, may seem a bit fantastic on the face of it, but it seems about the only practical way of (becking this evil. The Macon Telegraph, in discuss ing this suggestion, some time ago, made the comment that nothing could be more effective In reducing the number of shooting affrays than this means of preventing the con cealment of firearms. Just how to remedy this evil cus tom is a problem unless we take some practical course. There is little doubt that public opinion is aroused against the pis tol toter, but as long as the pistol Is concealed, public opinion doesn’t get a chance to register its disap probation. When a man who car ries concealed weapons is discover ed it is usually the case that his big crime swallows up his smaller crime. What the eye dosen’t see the heart doesn’t grieve over. It Is impracti cal to make a law against concealed weapons effective, because it Is out of the spirit of our clvilzatlon presume a man Is gui’ty until he is proven so. Both the law’ and pub lic opinion are cut short of their power, because, while both prohibit concealed weapons, they also pro hibit the invasion of personal lights and dignity and no way is* opened by which the offender is subject to discovery. The agitation against concealed weapons is now pronounced Georgia and it is hoped that prac tical good will come of It. We should not hesitato at pass ing any law which would render the carrying of concealed weapons diffi cult.—Savannah Press. PAY THE TEACHERS. The campaign which has been started by the teachers of Thoma*. County toward the changing of the system of paying teachers in the Slate of Georgia, is bearing fruit. The committee has received word that the matter is going to be taken up and handled by teachers’s organ izations in every part of ?! e state, and a start is going tc be made to demand 'eglslation that will give these state workers their money when it is due. Commenting on a recent statement that the teachers might pet a part of what is owing them on year salary, the Albany HeraM forcibly iays: “HUMILIATING.” The humiliating news is sent out from Atlanta that, “if nothing hap pens to prevent,” the school teach ers of the state will, in a few days, receive a payment amounting about 50 per cent, of their unpaid salaries for 1912. Up to the present time they have been paid approxi mately 35 per cent, cf what the state owes them for services render- er before the close of the foil term, should al’ go well, they will receive the second installment next week, though the state will still owe them approximately 15 per cent, of the amount earned by labor which, at best, is none too liberally rewarded. There's no telling, in the light of past experience and the present condition of state finances, when th? other 15 per cent, wip he paid. Isn’t it a shameful stak o? affairs? Isn’t it humiliating to Georgians that our great, state—one of the greatest and richest in the Union—should thus be doling out to Its splendid army of school teachers pitifully •mall installments of the money which they earn in city, town and rural school rooms? Schools rank next in importance to the public hea’th, yet in Georgia these two de partments are the very las*, to be considered. The one is sufficiently provided with funds for its rucces*- ful operation, and the other Is given the rag-tag and hob-tail end of finan cial consideration. Year after year the humiliating spectacle Is paraded in the columns of the press, so that all the people of the state may un derstand. and teachers are forced to borrow from banks or accommodat ing friends, fci order to make both few}* meet, until the State of Geor gia can scraps together sufficient funds to meet the school pay roll. Our state government could easily srrmage tc take cars ci the sa’arles CAPTItl TRIPLETT H HIS ELECTION RATS For First Time Since Cleveland's Time, He Wears a Hat au Result of Election Agreement With Judge H. W. Hopkins. Atlanta, Jan. 18.—Th# story of how Captain John Triplett of Thom- asvllle has been buying hats for Judge H. W. Hopkins, also of that city, ever since the war, came out la an amusing way here yesterday, while Captain Triplett was in town. For the first time since his friends have known him, aud that has been many years, Captain Triplett himself was wearing a brand new hat. proudly remarked that Judge Hop kins had bought it for him. When asked for further explana tion he recounted how at the dose of the Civil War, he and Judge Hop kins, both staunch democrats, had agreed to bet a hat on each presi dential election as long as they lived, and Hopkins, for the snk< the wager chose the Republican side. The result has been that Captain Triplett has won only three hats, but lias lost enough to stock the top shelf of a small store. Captain Triplett believes that the tide has turned and is hoping now that If he lives long enough he will win all the hate hack, and Judge Hopkins says he will be delighted if it turns out that way. GYPSY QUEEN TO THE GANG Atlanta, Jan. IS.—The hello of Gypsy camp In chains will he the strange sight Fulton county will soon see If Marie Demetro, a hand some brunette leader of her tribe, falls to pay the fine that was assess ed against her yesterday for petty larceny The Queen of the Gypsies le cused and stands convicted of steal ing some money from G. E. Hender son. Henderson tells a rather usual story of how the money was stolen He says he was rldlne past the Gypsy camp when Marie IJeme- tro came out and nBked him for match. He says that as ho put his hand in one pocket to get some matches, she laughingly said, "What have you got In your other coat pocket?’’, and reached in his other pocket with her own hand. Jerking out a handful of bills. He says she laughed and gave them hack to him, but later In the day when he counted them, he found seven bills missing. The police court Judge put m $50 fine on her with the alternative going to the chain-gang, and the present Indication Is that she. msy have to choose the letter alternative. . M. G. A.
