inauguration.
Took the Oath at the Capitol in
Atlanta.
short inaugural ADDRESS.
Taxation and Education the Main
Fea 1 ures— Large Crowd Wit
nesses the Ceremony.
Gov Jas. M. Terrell took the
oat h of office at the capitol in At
lanta, last Saturday and m accept
ing the exalted position, said:
■‘Mr. President and Members of
General Assembly:
“The practically unanimous elec
tion as chief executive with which
I have been honored by my fellow
citizens is a tribute of the people of
all parties and all classes to the
principles and policies which have
controlled the democratic party in
the management of our state gov
ernment, and not to the individual
selected as the representative of
those principles and policies.
Such an election not only adds to
the responsibilities and duties
which attach to the office of gover
nor, but will impel me to put forth
every effort to meet those responsi
bilities and discharge those duties
without fear, favor or affection and
with the sole purpose to properly
advance each’and every interest of
the state and of all her people.
The desire that shall ever be pres
ent, and which shall always con
trol me in the discharge of my
official duties, will be to protect
the honor of my state and promote
the welfare of her people. To ac
complish this end I inyoke your
valuable assistance in needed legis
lation, and invite the co-operation
of all my. fellow-citizens.
DECLARES FOR EDUCATION.
“From time immemorial it has
been the custom before his induc
tion mto office for the governor
elect to publicly announce the more
prominent features of those policies
which in his judgment will best
subserve the good of the people. I
shall not now undertake to outline
in detail those measures which I
deem paramount, and for the
furtherance of which I shall bend
all my energies, but standing now
upon the very threshold of the
executive office, and with a know
ledge of the responsibilities and
duties which await me as governor
of one of the greatest states in the
American Union, and being im
pressed with the magnitude and
character of those responsibilities
and duties I declare to you that in
my judgment the supreme interest
of the state and the people lies in
the reduction of the rate of taxa
tion and in providing better educa
tional a Ivantages for the children
of the state. t
“The reduction of the tax rate
can be obtained and the best inter
est of the state subserved by an
economical administration of its
affairs; by cutting off all unneces
sary appropriations; by the faith
ful execution of our present tax
laws, and by needful amendments
to those laws, so as to make every
species of property bear its fair
and equitable share of the burden
of taxation as contemplated by the
constitution. As the individual
and the corporation alike may
confidently look to the law for
protection, so should each in turn
contribute such a just propoition
to the support and maintenance of
the government.
PAYMENT OF TEACHERS.
“Our educational system can be
vastly improved and the best in
terest of the state and of the chil
dren thereof advanced by promptly
paying the common school teachers
in accordance with their contracts;
b Y providing a plan whereby
Eiilitia or school districts may
supplement the public fund by
local taxation for the purpose of
extending the term, or of erecting
school houses, and by establishing
a pd maintaining in each congres
sional district of the state an
agricultural school, not through
the medium of increased taxation,
r mt by using the net fees arising
bom the inspection of commercial
fertilizers. The loss which such
an application of these fees would
entail upon the common school
fund can be more than supplied by
an Increase in the hire of the labor
°f the state convicts. This increase
may reasonably expect from
contracts necessary to be made in
the near future.
THE NEWS AND COURANT.
“Every principle of justice and
equity requires that these fees be
so expended as will tend to the
advancement and upbuilding of the
cause of agriculture throughout
the state, and certainly nothing
could be more helpful tg that great
interest than to furnish the means
whereby our young men and wo
men may fully equip themselves
for this most important work. Upon
the success of agriculture depends
our future prosperity, and nothing
would contribute more to its pro
motion than the intelligent teach
ing and training of those wdio may
engage in that pursuit.
OTHER MATTERS DISCUSSED.
“It is my purpose at this time to
merely outline these two prominent
subjects, in each of which our peo
ple of all conditions, classes and
ages are vitally interested. I re
frain now from going into other
details affecting either of them, and
in view of the method provided by
law for the communications by the
executive to the legislative branch
of the government, I will, as these
and other subjects mav require the
attention of the general assemly,
seek a more appropriate manner to
communicate my views.
“And now, relying upon the
providence of that God who con
trols the destiny of all nations and
of all people to endow me with
wisdom to perform the duties
which I am about to assume, with
both justice and moderation, I am
ready 7 to take the oath of office
which the constitution prescribes
foi the governor.”
E. B- HAWKS-
Young Man from Cassville Shoots
Himself in Atlanta.
Atlanta News.
Without a position and in love,
the future dark and no ray of light
apparently penetrating it, E. B.
Hawks, a youug man who was
formerly in the employ of W. J.
Govan. attempted to kill himself
at Decatur street about 6
o’clock last night, but failed be
cause his aim was not true.
Before Hawks could pull the
trigger a second time, and with
better aim the weapon was knock
ed from his shaking hand by a
young woman and he was pre
vented from finished the work he
had commenced. He is now at
Grady hospital with a bullet hole
through his left shoulder, and it
will be several days before he will
be able to be out.
Hawks came to Atlanta from
Cassville, on the Western and At
lantic railroad, and his parents
have been notified of the attempt
at self-destruction. To a hospital
physician he said he was in lots of
trouble, without work and madly
in love. Further than this he
would not talk.
CHEAP STEEL FENCING-
Better and More Economical Than
Wood for Large and Small
Enclosures.
This is the age of cheap steel
and good steel. Steel implements
have increased the productiveness
cf the soil and steel fences are now
increasing the profits of farmers
aud planters by protecting crops and
holding stock at a minimum cost.
The prosperity of the country is
reflected in the enormous demand
for and corresponding output of
steel and there was never a better
time to improve the farm by put
ting up steel fences that can now
be bought cheaply and which will
last a life time.
The approved steel fence to-day
is made of heavy Bessemer steel,
heavily coated with galvanizing.
The fence is woven by machinery
in the works. Such a fence is the
American Field and Hog Fence
which is delivered to the planter
in rolls of twenty or forty rods.
This has heavy bars of Bessemer
steel wire and stays of No. 12 wire
placed twelve inches apart. The
larger mesh is suitable for large
enclosures, pastures, ranches, &c.
The smaller mesh is recommended
for hog pens, sheep or cattle yards.
The fence can be obtained in
heights from 20 inches to 58 inches.

How to Fit 8 Shoßi
Very few women know just how a shoe ought to be fit
ted to the foot. We’ll explain it here. It is valuable
information for any one who is buying shoes.
A shoe should always fit closely under and about the
instep so as to make it impossible for the foot to
SLIP FORWARD AND CROWD THE TOES. It OUght to be
: firmly “held” right there and if the
shoe has been properly made the
ifeMl leather will have been drawn in so
M'. '.i j as to hug firmly the instep and
yf arch. The ball of the foot and
1 i|B j[ t the toes* should have plenty of
4* room; so should the heel; but the
instep should be grasped as if by a
J gloved hand.
If you want to see the finer points of scientific fitting*
try on a pair of “Queen Quality” shoes. They are
anatomically accurate, being constructed to exact out
lines of the human foot. It is anew sensation in com
fort. And the price is—only $3.00.
That $5,000 Prize Contest
Is ‘‘taking” like wildfire,

TWO BARNS BURNED-
Captain Bibband Mrs. Saggus Lose
their Barns by Fire
The barn of Capt. P. B. Bibb, at
his home’near Stilesboro, together
with its contents, including three
rallies, was burned last Thursday
morning about three o’clock.
The lire was first discovered by Mrs,
Lucas who was awakened by the
bright glare of the flames in her bed
room window and she immedi
ately aroused the household, but on
reaching the building it was found
too far gone to attempt to save the
stock, and the building quickly
burned to the ground.
Capt. Bibb had the barn stored
with fodder, hay, corn and a lot of
agricultural implements, all of which
were burned with the mules. He wks
fortunate in having the barn and
contents insured and his loss will be
light.
There is no clue to the origin of the
fire and it is thought to have been
incendiary.
On Thursday night the barn of Mrs.
Saggus, who lives about six
miles from town on the Stilesboro
road, was also burned with its con
tents including a cow, and it is also
thought to have been incendiary, as
it was late in the night, and no one
had been about the barn for several
hours. The loss falls quite heavy on
Mrs. Saggus as she had no insurance.

Wormwood” as a Play.
No comedy drama of recent years
is more worthy of patronage than
Marie Corelli’s “Wormwood,’’ or
“The Absinthe Drinkers of Paris,”
which will be presented at the
opera house on Tuesday, October
1 ith.
It is replete with stirring situa
tions and startling climaxes, and
although the story is a sombie one,
the dramatist, through the intro
duction of Meohisto (who is not in
novel) has introduced much whole
some comedy. The plot also has
been greatly changed and many
bright innovations introduced.
Unlike the novel, all ends brightly.
The action of the play, which is
laid in Paris, gives ample scope for
a magnificent scenic display, which
the management has taken full
advantage of, no expense having
been spared to make this produc
tion one of the most thoroughly
equipped organizations on the
road. The bridge Pont Neuf,
showing the exterior of the Cathe
dral of Notre Dame, illuminated,
is said to be one of the handsomest
sets of stage scenery ever used in
any play.
A splendid cast of characters has
been provided and a performance
perfect in every detail is promised.
His Right Name-
Atlanta Constitution.
In speaking of Representative
Aiken, of Bartow, we said his
Christian name was Warren. It
was one of those lapses of the pen
which curiously follows the idea of
“like father, like sou.” His dis
tinguished father was Hon. Warren
Aiken, and we think a large per
centage of Georgians have taken
it as a matter of course that the
almost equally distinguished son is
also a Warren Aiken. But his
real name is John Wesley Aiken,
and by that same token it is plain
to be seen that he comes of the
Methodist persuasion. His ances
try and his name therefore make a
combination that is in itself an
assurance of devotion and distinct
ion.
