FAGEVILLE NEWS
C. E. Glisson was showing a stalk
of Kayana sugar cane here last week
that was well matured for ten feet.
This is a new variety of cane, being
put out by tfife government, ar.d said
to be immune from all diseases. Af
ter examination of the half acre plot
of this cane and the syrup that it
makes, Mr. Glisson, Albert Martin
and others declare it to be the equal
of any sugar cane syrup in all re
spects. And it is said that it will
produce as much again to the acre.
Messrs. Glisson and Martin’s faith
was so great in the possibilities of
the cane until ^iey purchased a very
plentiful supply of the seed for next
year's planting.
The basket ball game here Wednes
day afternoon' between Chattahoochee
and our high school teams resulted
in a sweeping victory for the home
bunch. Kiddies, our Faceville folks
are hard to handle, and you had bet
ter be in good practice when you go
up against them.
W. E. Hanna, prominent and well
known citizen, was elected chairman
of the board of trustees here Thurs
day, with opposition. Mr. Hanna is
already planning for the best inter
ests of our school, and we like his
plans and ideas. If carried out the
future generation will receive great
and lasting good from them. A man
that can plan for the present and the
future better than Mr. Hanna would
be hard to-find.
Melvin Fain has, to the delight of
his many friends, given up his po

I Mrs. Joe McCrannie spent seveyal

visit to home folks and friends.
* We have taken the carp fisher
man’s successful blue ribbon 1 away
from John Fain, who has worn it for
several years, and placed it on the
lapel of Ed Olivent’s coat. Ed brings
them in here by the truck load.
Several new trucks have been pur
chased by different parties here in
the past ten days. Evidently our
Uncle Henry reaps a rick harvest
from the lumber industry, as well as
other people.
Sam Howell, well known and high
ly respected citizen of the Sylvania
settlement was found dead last Fri
day morning a short distance from
his home. Mr. Howell had suffered
severely with a heart tdouSle for
the past several months, and his sud
den death was no surprise to loved
ones and friends. He was buried by
the Masons with the usual ceremony
and honors of the orflcr at the Syl
vania cemetery Saturday afternoon,
among a large concourse of sorrow
ing friends and relatives, who have
the sympathy of the entire surround
ing community, where the deceased
was well known and universally lik
ed by all who came in contact with
him.
Dr. and Mrs. C. 0. Wells of Spar
tanburg, S. C., are here with home
folks and friends for the holidays.
The doctor's father, Judge J. A., has

However, to the delight of his many
friends, the judge is up and out at

THAT DULL ACHING
Education of The Streets
(By A. B. Conger)
The following address was deliver
ed by Mayor A. B. Conger as a part
of Education Week Program, at the
high school auditorium.
Education, in its technical sense,
is the acquirement in a systematic
way of things adjudged by common
experience to be fundamental. This
technical, systematic and fundamen
tal training is brought to the atten
tion of the scholar through the medi
um of prescribed text books, explain
ed and impressed by teachers or prof
essors, usually in the school room.
Hqwever, education in its broader
or cosmopolitan sense, is everything
that touches, impresses, influences,
goes into and becomes a part of us.
It is possible, therefore, to be well
educated with but slight knowledge
of* the. academic fundamentals, and
to be all but illiterate with a thor
ough knowledge of many text books.
The subject, therefore, assigned to
me, “The Education of the Streets/*
is a very important one, the power
and influence of which, has been too
little recognized. Education may
either be right and elevating or be
wrong and degenerating, if we treat
tthe acquirement of knowledge as ed
ucation. We may be educated for
the ministry and a life of service, or
we may be educated in the art of
manipulating locks, in order to suc
cessfully break in and steal.
All knowledge, which in its fullest
Significance is synonymous with edu
cation, is acquired through the five
senses, but so far as this limited dis
cussion may require we may limit
ourselves to the senses of sight and
sound. Everything that we see or
hear, like the pebble thrown into the
water, makes its everlasting and in
delible impression.
Thus far we have, to some extent,
begged the question and dealt in' gen
eralities, but the issue and subject
is not what is the Curriculum of the
streets of |l$w York, Chicago or At
lanta, but what do our children gath
er from and lear non the streets of
Bainbridge.
We are fortunate, I think, that
many of the allurements of the
streets of the city are not found in
communities of our size. I have just
read Jane Addams 4 frank and vivid
presentation of that subject in her
book, “The Spirit of Youth and The
City Streets. 11 ^ More fortunate and
unlike the situation of which she
wrote. We are spared the public
dance halls, the dope dens and the
cheap and vulgar theatres.
We must keep in mind that the
senses of youth are singularly acute
and respond to every vivid appeal.
That the spirit of youth, normal and
healthy, is utterly and absolutely ir
repressible, which must be recognized
and catered to or it will seek its own
outlet. It 4 s as impossible* to sup
press or encircle it as it is to per
petually dam water or hold air s
1 think the physical appearance of
our streets present a favorable im
pression. In' addition to the aesthetic
sense pf our people and a fairly good
street force, we have been mightily
assisted by nature, and the foresight
of some who made om* little park in
the heart of town possible. Most of
our store's are neat and attractive,
but some still display large adver
tisements of Sparks 4 show and the
County Fair. The language, conduct
and topic of the streets are far from
ideal, but are better than the aver
age. But sometimes words are spok
en that should not be heard, and vis
ions are caught that should not be
seen.
We are informed by high authority
that there is nothing ip environment
to which youth so keenly responds
as to music. Yet the half dozen or
more graphophones, down town, in
the restaurants and elsewhere, seem
to specialize in 1 jazz. We seem to ig
nore the innate connection between
music and morals.
Let us hope that the tone and at
mosphere of our town will take root
from our stately oaks and that the
inVironment of the streets will be a
benediction to our youths.

statement: •
J. H. Cook, policeman, corner Sharp
and Russ streets, Bainbridge, says:
“Some months ago there was a hurt
ing in' the small of my back. Being
on my feet continually and exposed
to the weather brought on the trouble
At that time I had a heavy, dull ache
in the small of my back, and I felt
miserable. I had to get up at night
to pass the kidney seyetions and
they were highly colored. I also had
severe pains in the top of my head.
I procured a box of Doan s Kidney
Pills, and they helped me from the
start. Finally Doan's cured me of
the backache, and put my kidneys in
good order."
