PLEA FOR
MODEL SCHOOL.
What it Will be to the Section
Where Located-
IMPROVED SCHOOL WORK-
Ladv From the Country a Strong
Advocate of the Proposed
Model School,
After Mr. Branson’s admirable
talk at the tabernacle it would
seem superfluous to aad a word as
to what is needed in our country
schools. Fearing however, that
many of our county people may
have missed that good talk, and
lest perhaps some who were there
might forget, we make another
appeal to the good people of the
county to interest themselves in
the financial side of this question
and see if the money cannot be
raised to have this model school.
The idea is to train the hand
along with the head. The girls
will be taught cooking and sewing,
this includes plain and fancy needle
work by the best of teachers, there
by lightening the burdens of after
life and making their homes all the
better fo c is systematic training,
which the r poor hard worked
mothers would gladly, but cannot
give them under present conditions.
Whatever tends to brighten or bet
ter home life elevates citizenship
for love of home means love of
country.
Both boys and girls will be
taught the basket or willow work
which now finds such a ready sale,
is easily learned and the materials
are found on nearly every farm in
the country. They will take read
ily to t iese industries and find the
change from brain to hand work
restful during the school hours.
Other handicrafts will be taught
the boys which will not only aid in
developing brains and hand simul
taneously but materially aid in get
ting and maintaining the homes
over which those girls some day
preside. In time we hope for a
thorough system of agricultural
training under the most approved
methods.
What we do well we love to do
is as true in country life as in the
highest art, and when boys are
taught agriculture as a science
simplefied they will love the work
and farm successfully the lands
which are now going to ruin in the
hands of irresponsible negro ten
ants. Improve the . condition of
the country people by giving them
these training schools and the boys
and girls will remain on the farms,
making skilled working men and
women in their different depart
ments, in a little while more than
doubling in the returns what has
been done for them.
Now co-operation is the power
which accomplishes satisfactory
results for communities. The
good that will come to the coun
ty people from these schools will
soon be felt by the business people
of the town and cities, so that any
aid they may give to this work
wiii more than double in its returns
to them. Many of these boys and
girls have talents or “bents” which
only need developing through these
training schools to make accom
plished men and women of them in
their different spheres This work
has long since passed the experi
mental stage being thoroughly es
tablished by the good results, and
we would do well to profit by the
experience and example of Ger
many and New England. Let us
know' this era “and what it bids us
do” by placing these opportunities
within the reach of the boy and
girls of our county. Let us be up
and doing with a firm determina
tion to have this school; make it a
successful and a crowning glory to
Bartow county.

Who Owned the Rabbit,
New York Commercial.
A Frankfort, Ky., man, lunch
ing last Saturday with a party of
dry goods men at the Arkwright
club, got engaged in a discussion
of the Schley-Sampson matter, and
before the controversy got very
heated or acute, he was reminded
of a tale that has been circulating
down in the Blue Grass country,
and is known as the Proctor Knott
“Rabbit Story.”
“Ex-Governor Protor Knott and
John Yerkes,” he said, having
agreed to tell the tale, “were dis
cussing the claims of Sampson and
Schley to the credit of smashing
Cervera at Santiago. Mr. Yerkes
took the ground that all the honor
of that memorial conflict belonged
to Admiral Sampson, and was in
clined to entirely ignore Commo
dore Schley’s pait in the affair.
Ik " Th governor listened until his
companion had finished, and then,
with that characteristic twinkle in
his eyes, said: “My dear sir, it is
exceedingly gratifying to me to
hear you take the position you
have in the matter. It is like a
balm to my conscience and settles
a point that has worried me many
a day. I was walking through the
woods once with a boy friend of
mine, when we saw a rabbit run
into a sinkhole. We stood around
the hole a while, then I told the
boy to keep watch while I went to
get some fire to smoke the rabbit
out. When I returned the boy had
the rabbit. I took it away from
him claiming that it belonged to
me because I told him to catch it
if it came out. That was over
fifty years ago and you arethe first
man who has ever agreed with me
that the rabbit was mine. I feel
now that I was right in taking it,
and ray conscience is at rest.’
“Mr. Yerkes looked solemn for
a few moments, then smiled a fee
ble smile and changed the su’ ject.
The Farmer and the ftoundlap Bale-
Under its new management the
business of the American Cotton
Company is being vigorously push
ed. The southern fanner is fast
coming to see that his interests
and those of the American Cotton
Company lie in the same direction.
Every unnecessary expense in
marketing cotton is that much ta
ken out of the farmer’s pockets,
and eyery dollar he saves by hav
ing his cotton put up in roundlap
bales is that much added to his
profits. The American Cotton
Company’s interest lies in enabling
the presses it builds to bale as much
cotton as possible. In order to se
cure this result it is essential that
cotton grow’ers shall continue to
find advantage in the use of these
presses There is no requirement
that a single bale of cotton be sold
to the American Cottan Company.
Roundlap bales, with all of their
advantages, can be bought in open
competition by any responsible
buyer and handled through to the
mills, but whenever the ordinary
cotton buyer declines to purchase
roundlap bales on this basis the
American Cotton Company stands
ready to buy them.
The farmer who hauls bis seed
cotton to a roundlap gin may re
tain as complete control over it as
if he took it to an old-style ginnery.
He can sell his cotton with or with
out the seed, or he can have it cus
tom ginned (selling or keeping the
seed) and hold his roundlap bales
until he is ready to sell, with the
assurance that they are always
salable at the full market value of
roundlap cotton. The American
Cotton Company makes liberal ad
vances on held roundlap bales.

CABTOIIIA.,
Bears the yO Kind You Have Always Bought
As True as Gospel.
We may stand on the highest
hill if we are only willing to take
the steps enough.
If life is so sweet that we are un
willing to part with it, how comes
in its bitter part.
When a man agrees with you in
everything, he will bear watching
when your back is turned.
We must be as courteous to a
man as we are to a picture, when
we are willing to give it the advan
tage of a good light.
We love characters in propor
tion as they are impulsive and
spontaneous. The less a gian
thinks or knows about his virtues,
the better we like him.
Learning prepares and, in a
measure, takes the place of experi
ence, on the other hand, is the best
means of understanding and ap
preciating the results of learning
and the wisdom of the ages.

GOLD MINING AT DAHLONEGA-
How the Precious Metal is Washed
Out of the Hills.
Dahlonega, Ga., Sept. 24. —Dah-
lonega’s new mining company, the
Crown Mountain, is running day
and night. This company uses the
falls of the Chestatee river, sixteen
miles away to generate electric
power for its pumps and mills.
The dirt and pebbles washed down
by the “giants” are conveyed down
long sluices to the stamp mill at
the foot of the mountain. Some of
these “giants” are run by force of
gravity from the reservoir on top
of the mountain.mrhieh is filled by
pumps on the river, and others, too
near the top of the mountain for
the force of gravity are run by
compressed air, compressed by elec
tricity.
The plates are showing good re
sults and the stock of the company
has gone up rapidly. In fact, there
is none of the stock for sale at
present.
The college students have got
down to regular work, and the city
schools are over-crowded.
“More haste, less speed,” and
“hasten slowly,” are proverbs born
of experience that some things
can’t be hurried without loss and
waste. That is specially true of
eating. The railway lunch habit,
“five minutes for refreshments,” is
a habit most disastrous to the
health. You may hurry your eat
ing. You can’t hurry your diges
tion, and the neglect to allow pro
per time for this important func
tion is the beginning of sorrows to
many a busy man. When the ton
gue is foul, the head aches, when
there are sour or bitter risings, un
due fullness after eating,hot flush
es, irritability, nervousness, ir
resolution, cold extremities, and
other annoying symptoms, be sure
the stomach and organs of diges
tion and nutrition have ‘ broken
down.” Nothing will re establish
them in active healthy operation so
quickly as Dr, Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It strengthens
the stomach, nourishes the nerves,
purifies the blood, and builds up
the body. It is a strictly temper
ance medicine containing no alco
hol or other intoxicant,

Attractive W omen.
All women sensibly desire to be
attractive. Beauty is the stamp of
health because it is the outward
mamfestation of inner purity. A
healthy woman is always attract
ive, bright and happy. When ev
ery drop of blood in the veins is
pure a beauteous flush is on the
cheek. But when the blood is im
pure, moroseness, bad temper and
a sallow complexion tells the tale
of sickness, all tco plainly. And
women today know there is no
beauty without health. Wine of
Cardui crowns women with beauty
and attractiveness by making
strong and healthy those organs
which make her a woman. Try
Wine of Cardui, and in a month
your friends will hardly know you.
