Some sweet girl graduates wouid love to be June brides. “Give me a W. J. B..“ Is quite tne cry et the soda founts now. Tbo flys foot is more dangerous than the lions paw. The stage is set for many a pro posal that never comes off. Girls usually get a coat of tan to add to their summer wardrobe. The Columbia State advocates shipping Doc Friedmann back to the minors. The blackberry crop is positively ripe and cantaloupes ready for ship ping. What do we care what the tariff on putty Is? The devil will probably take :harge of the Commoner now that the owner and editor are serving their country more acceptably. Valdosta ships out this week the rst carload of cantaloupes and hey don’t grow better anywhere han around about in Lowndes. The cold does not seem to have lone the crops any damage and hat’s the most Important thing lewn in this country now, not even ceeptlng baseball. It is necessary, if the people of Thomas County want a Fair during the coming Fall, that preparations be made for an immediate start. The exhibits must he from Thomas County farms In order to make the institution a'success. The farmers must have time to prepare for the event if they would make exhibits. Therefore it Is time, high time, to get busy and let the people know- just what is going to be done. Late star’s jeopardize the chances of success and it is already late. Let everybody unite to make this sixth annual fair the biggest best that hau ever been held, poultry people want to show- year and they are anxious to have tlielr show at the same time as the county fair. Lets attend that meeting on June 14th, and start the bnll lo rolling in the rlghs di rection. THE COAST LINE CROSSING. and The this Some lew weeks ago The Tlmes- Enterprlse took oocasion to request some action from the City Council with reference to the Broad Street crossing of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway. We have had repeated querries as to Just what has been done. The .Mayor, It Is stated, has written the Coast Lino authorities and the matter Is to be adjusted as soon as the railroad can move, which is presumably very slow. The rumor is In effect that an electric gong will be Installed there and put In first class working or der and kept that way. It win he loud enough to warn all pedestrians and those In vehicles, when a train or switch engine is two blocks away and thus avoid all danger, if lh^ travelers are half-way careful. The Pope has given William J. lurns his blessing, a special bless- ng, and BUI, retaliating, said -the •ope had the finest face he ever aw. That cold day in June was one of those things that upset all cal culations, especially if you are camping out somewhere and rover Is ten miles away. The turkey trot It Is said started on the levee among the negroes. That’s s little bit better than the other place where some accuse it of first being Introduced. An Alabama woman In the poor- house cut her third set of tee’h at *e age of ninety-three. They are said to be perfect and as good as the last set she lost when sixty years 1 aid. J The crops in this county are in the pink of condition, say those who have visited all parts of the county. They are better than i-n ten years avers one of. the county com- nissloners. The first drink is usually taken •.ith friends, amid delightful and pleasant surroundings. The last fa usually in the darkest hell holes with the kind that have accompan ied him to the depths of degrada tion. Tom Marshal, sometimes called Vice-President Marshal, takes a6 a lunch most of the days in ‘he year some hoe cake and a glass of mi!k, and he admits that it is a lunch fit for a king as well as a Vice-Presi dent. •Atlanta man contends that to look well you must spend three thou sand on your clothes. Anybody around here that looks well ought to be sent away where the in mates talk Just as sensibly as the Atlanta guy. Joe Hill Hall is to act in the next legislature through Wallace Miller of Macon. The old warhorse has a plan for straightening out the state's finances, the only re markable feature of which is that ha waited until be got ont of the JfcgUlature to try put It through. SO.MK GOOD IMAMS FOR GEOR GIANS. Albany Herald. Ralph Smith, Washington corres pondent of the Atlanta Journal, i i authority for the statement that th following nominations of special in terest to Georgians will be sent to the Senate by the President within the next ten days or two weeks: United States marshal for the northern district of Georgia, How ard Thompson, of Gainesvil’e. vice Walter H. Johnson, of Columbus. United States marshal for the southern district of Georgia, Joseph 3. Davis, of Albany, vice George F. White, of Macon. Internal revenue collector for Georgia, A. O. Blalcck, of Fayette ville, vice Henry S. Jackson, of At lanta. Purveyor of the port at Atlanta, James H. Andrews, of Atlanta, vice Marcellus O. Markham, of 'Atlanta. Collector of the port at Savan nah, David C. Harrow, of Savannah, vice William R. Leaken. United States attorney in charge of pardons, with headquarters in Washington, William N. Spence, of Camilla. Mitchell county. The nominations of Thompson, Hlalock and Barrow have been fore shadowed in The Journal dispatch es. The selection of Davis for the southern district marshalship has been also regarded as a practical certainty. The announcement that Andrews is to succeed Marcellus Markham as surveyor of the port of Atlanta, und that Judse W. X. Spence is to be given a desirable place in the de partment of justice in Washington comes as a distinct surprise. It will be read with interest in Geor gia and will prove a source of grati fication, throughout southwest Geor gia." The same authority also sends the following statement to the Journal: “Senator Bacon has not yet pre sented the name of A. Pratt Adams, of Savannah, for district attorney for South Georgia, but It Is un derstood that he will do so at a subsequent date. It may be stated, however, that Mr. Adame will not be nominated, and that the office will be given to some other Demo crat, possibly Robert L. Berner, of Macon; John T. West, of Thom son; Fred Saussy, of Savannah; or Robert M. Hitch, of Savannah." Thoniasville, Ga., June 10, 1913. Board met in regular meeting. Present, Pringle, Culpepper, Thom as, I’arrantore, and Murphy. Minutes read and approved. Committee on Duren damage ease reported that in their judg ment the county is not liable for damages. Committee on Wade road given furt her time. In the matter telephone polls along Pa\o road, a motion was made and carried to reconsider a lonner action of the Hoard, per mit ting tne polls in the road, anil the following resolution was adopt ed: 1 • Resolved by the Commissioners j of Roads and Revenues of Thomas County, that the owners of certain telephone poles along the Thomas- ville-Pavo Public Road be requir ed to get formal permission to continue the use of the public high way for such purpose. It is fur ther ordered by said Board that if the owners of said poles do not get such permission within thirty (30) days that the Superintendents of Roads be instructed to remove such poles as interfere with the rights of adjacent landowners. "Be it further ordered that when permission be granted, the terms of such occupancy be stipulated." The following decision of the County Attorney was read and or dered spread on minutes: "Thoniasville, Ga., June 9, 1913. “Hon. W. A. Pringle, Chm. Co. Comrs. "In re Telephone Poles on Public Roads. “Dear Sir: The law of this mat ter is that a telephone company, as a public service corporation, can be allowed to put up poles on the highway by the consent of the County authorities. "In the present case the poles were put up without consulting the authorities, but upon examination of their location by the Superintendent of Roads, he reported that they in terfered in no way with the use of the road as a highway. Since then they have been allowed to remain. "The application now pending Is that of B. C. Johnson to have an order passed for their removal. "This presents just the plain question, ‘will you order their re moval?' or. ‘will you consent that they remain where they are?' " “The question that seems to trouble some of the members of the Board of Commissioners is that if they give their consent, they will be granting the telephone company a franchise. I do not so construe the law. A franchise must be for a definite time and a specified place. But, to obviate that diffi culty. the Board can grant the company the privilege of keeping the poles where they are until such time as this Board shall order them removed. This is no franchise, or if at all a franchise, it is worthless because revokable at any time with out notice of a hearing even, if the Board so frames its order of con sent. “This makes it simply a question of the will of the Board. “Respectfully, CHA3. P. HAXSELL, Atty." The following letter was also read | and ordered published: | “Thomasville, Ga., June 9, 1913. “Hon. W. A. Pringle, I Chairman Co. Comrs.
