Address At M. £. Church.
John Barleycorn, you have been
the cn rse of man.
You’ve stolen his very soul
away. Deny it if you can.
Now every nation on the globe

This catchy chorus of the song
that has become nation wide in

and a national speaker of great
force aiid charm) tell how prohib
ition piohibits in Kansas or in any
other state where the men who aie
under oath as officers .worn to en
force the law, feel that public
sentiment is strong enough to
foice Hum to keep their oath of
office to enforce all laws. Then she
will tell what it means to live in a
state that enforces her prohibition
Jaws. What it means for the spiri
tual, mental, moral and financial
uplift of her people, what it means
to them, it could mean to every
one of the nineteen prohibition
states if the people demanded
that the law should be enforced.
The story Mrs. Mitchner tells of
reconstruction days in Kansas, ot
days when it means something to
stand lor prohibition, of days
when cod called Carrie Nation
that wonderful woman of Kansas
with the mother heart bruised and
bleeding and after prayiDg for de

IS SAVED BY WOODEN LEG
Bear, When Surprised, Claws Horse
back Rider’s Artificial
Limb.
Sunbury, Pa. —John Davidson, a Cat
awissa mountain farmer, who lives
near the town of that name, says he
is glad he has a wooden leg, for it
saved him serious hurts in a battle
with a bear.
Davidson says he was riding horse
back along the Susquehanna, which
skirts dense mountain growths at that
point, when he saw a black bear fish
ing in the river. It would dive down
and come up with a fish in its mouth.
Angered by his approach bruin
dropped a fish and gave chase, but
Davidson drew his revolver and fired.
He missed, and the animal came on
after him and bit and clawed at his
wooden leg.
He fired again, and then a freight
train approached on a railroad near
by. This, together with the tooting
of the locomotive whistle, frightened
the beast and it dropped to its feet
and ambled off into the woods. The
farmer exhibited a torn pair of troup
ers and lacerated wooden leg to h\a
friends as proof of the truth of his
story.

MIIS. HARRIS BRIGHT
FIGURE AT CONFERENCE
•
She Attends the Meeting Of
Ministers At Rome.
Mre, ( ora Harris, the well-known
authoress, has been spending sev
eral days here this week at the ho
tel General Forrest, in attendance
at the methodist conference.
Mrs. Harris is a most interesting
woman, and her writings, inc'r.d
ing “The Circuit Rider- \Vi .
and “The Recording Angel,” with
a number of others have been of
iutense interest to lovers of ner
work.
During her visit, Mrs. Harris
has been cordially received by the
hospitable people of Rome, and
every minute of her time has been
absorbed by interviews and busi
ness engagements.
In an interesting chat at the
hotel General Forrest on Friday,
Mrs. Harris said “A number of
people have the impression I am
here to make a study of different
characters found in preachers, to
use in the book I am now writing.
Will you please say this a mistake
I know every type already, m 4
am herein other interests. I have
never previously attended an an
nual conlerence, of such a mighty
assemblege of workers in His cauatt
Last year at this time I was in
France, aud saw so many soldiem
wounded, tired and hungry, com*
iog irom the trenches about Sois
sons. I do not consider that they
are moie brave than these warriors
of God.”
When asked about ber new book
with which she is now busily en
gaged, she remarked; “It is ftIWWfF
well not to count chickens btffofi
they hatch.” Her last book, “Thß
Co-Citizen,” she says, had a pop
ular sale every where except in
Georgia. She added: “The Cos Citi
zen is not an attack on men. They
haye always beeu and always will
be, the protectors of women, but
1 do heat lily believe iu woman
suffrage.”
Mis. Harris, though a very tal
ented aud gifted womau is uuaN
fee ted and naluial. It is her desire
to appear in just tbid manner, and
to the press she "always says,
“Pleasedo not say "much abmt
me. I do not care' to have praises
heaped upon me because I am an
authoress. I really think the little
dim vomen, who sit' at home aud
the quiet men, whor have served
their day and genet ation best, who
are never heard of, are those
who deserve the most praise.”
Mrs. Harris is a native of Elbert
county. At present she resides
with her daughter and sou.in-taw
Mr.aud Mis. Leacs, at their home
‘ln The Valley” ntar Pine Log.
The Atlanta Journal of last Fri
day afternoon earned a uqws item
to the effect that Col. J. J. Couue;
Mould likely be a candidate for
the office of commissioner of Agri
culture at the next election of
slate house oflS&ers. Few imn in
the state have done as much for
seieutiiic agricultute as has Col.
Conner. It was he who secured the
passage of the bill that provided
for th_* state college of agriculture.
Govenc Harris founded Tech,
and *as rewarded with thegoveru
orship for his foresight in so do
ing. Why not reward Col. Conner
with the office of commissioner of
agriculture for the founding of
this great institution which is
meaning so mu c b for the agricul
tural iuteests of our common
wealth. .*

While taking one of the big mam

the big fellow charged the steamer,
damaging the gunwale, second towing
chock on the starboard side and bend

warks for a distance of ten feet. Hie
weight of the whale nearly swamped
the little steamer. , .
