TFFT'RSDAY. JUNE 22. 1022. GUES WHO ? About liulf mile west of Surdis cburcli between the mountains, Pine Log. an<i J'oleeut, in Cherokee county, La., was born in the year 1804, a boy. That year was one of unusual activ ities of the gorillius which was one way of carrying on a war aguinst the women, children and innocent men. The mother of this boy knew not to an swer every knock or call at the door. The only response by her wus when a niello* whistle penetrated her ear from the keyhole. It was a very common thing to hear tlie stamping of the feet of horses as they gal lopped up or down these hills with sometimes a rope around the body of a man dragging him to some more lonesome spot to lie left until found by friends, or eaten by fowls or varmints of that section. One dark and dreary night, Col. Sharp, whose wife was a lUiinehaidt, was arrested by these gorillas who tried to get him to divulge some secrets that they thought lie knew, lie know nothing and could tell nothing, so they blindfolded him, tied a rope around his neck and hoisted him in the air. This was done several times but nothing could lie tell. Finally he was left more dead that) alive. When they were gone he Anally removed the bdhdage and af ter much effort reaehed home. One day a widow Bird, who lived two or three miles from Waleska was told that the soldiers were coming. She had a lot of meat and knowing she was like ly to lose If she had it punctured with knives and flour sprinkled on it and the meat thrown carelessly around in the yard. When the soldiers came up and asked why the meat was thus thrown around she replied that the pes ky gorillas had passed that morning and poisoned all they could not carry off. So they passed on and left her meat to he placed back in the smoke house. Col. Sharp married a cousin of the mother of this boy horn in 18t>4. Lur ing this year the father of this mother was killed by the railroad up in Ten nessee. Her mother had died several years prior to this date. The children were left alone, one married, and no one to take the lead of the family of three girls and two hoys in their teens. About this time the oldest brother was arrested and carried off and placed in prison for not enlisting in the war. These are a few of the burdens this mother had to bear during the spring and summer before her boy was born in the fall of ISO 4. This boy was Riven the nnme of the discoverer of America and for months only one name was ills. One day while traveling they met a lady carrying n babe and its name was asked; liking the name they added it to our boy’s name and he bears it to this day. When this boy was only a few months old, the parents were refugeeing to Tennessee and In Chattanooga in a freight car box sat the mother with the hoy in her lap and in a bundle of <iuilts beneath her was all the parents possessed, while on top of the freight ear sat the father, bare-headed and hat less for lys hat had blown away. This family made their way safely Into middle Tennessee to his people. Here he rented a farm on little Suey river, near the fork of Big Suey and Tennessee rivers. Here the house was a log cabin and the cracks large enough to throw a cat through without disturb ing a hair by its contact with the logs. Here liig Suey hacked up Little Suey until the water entered the outbuildings and got under the floor of the cabin. Here, one rainy day, the father lay down upon a table and the mother upon long, red cedar chest and went to sleep and slept until midnight: they awoke, looked out and the water was in the yard. They thought of moving. At three years of age this boy was back in Cherokee county playing with it nttle brother who had come to keep him company. They stuck sticks into n bee hive on one occasion and were soon covered with lan's The mother and an aunt ran to them, carried them t jto the house and picked the bees out of their hair.

The writer would be glad to know of them today, about this time a doctor by the name of Ketcherside Wrought a brother and they numbered three in place of two. At five years of age the father and mother with three boys migrated to Jackson county. Here my boy was put in school at Rockwell, the teacher was j,o U l’itman. At six. the father took the mother, three boys and now one girl to his father's and went off to Texas and was gone only six months. This boy, owing to a peculiar palate of the mouth, could not and cannot yet articulate .very distinctly. He was ask ed by his parents what lie wished to do. His reply was. “I be a cool teacher.’’ At six he was sent to school to Miss Maggie Wilson, daughter of G. .T. N. Wilson, and at the close of the school he was presented with anew begin ner's arithmetic for good conduct and punctuality. This teacher only gave Prof. J. L. Moore In A Revival in Cobb County Editor Winder News: I will call off long enough to give you a few items, which I hope may be read with interest by some of your constitu ency. Last Sunday found me at Lost Mt. In Cobb county, at one of those old time all day singings. It wus a great day, lug crowd and some stirring songs with a tine dinner dropped in to All the noon recess. I am here now, in a splendid revival. Kov. O. A. Norton, of East Point, is doing the preaching, and to say he is cleaning up things is not telling it all. oh, my, what a preacher lie is. The singing is moving along nicely, hut a eold caught me for a day or so, hut 1 i,n hack on the job with the same old hallelujah lick. The condition of the country here is not different to other sections where I have been. Rain has retarded the prog ress on the farms and the farmers are uneasy for fear of being too late. I tim] Austell is a very nice little city, •.nucli better than one would think in passing the railroad. They claim eight hundred population. 1 hope the editor and the news force are happy and enjoying life to the ful lest. Tru, y’ J. L. MOORE.

I have been worrying myself for some time trying to figure out how we can pay our taxes if the boll weevil gets iu his destructive work. 1 have failed, and I think I am a pretty good mathematician. While studying ulong any one line it’s best to take a vacation and forget your study for awhile, then grasp your line of thought again and possibly you may more readily reac-li a solution. During a vacation I saw a neighbor who had bought a hog, and I asked him if he wasn’t throwing away his corn when feeding it. “No sir," says he. "That pig cost money and I must not rob him of the tilings he needs if I would have a nice piece of meat.” Now, thought I, this government is keeping corn from its pigs in its heavy taxes and various burdens put on the common man. It looks like any man or lot of men could see far enough ahead to'know that if you take all tlie milk, the calf will dwindle away and die. Uncle Sam’s men are suffering with a tax burden and when the common people become bankrupt then will U. S. bonds become as cheap as those of tlie European countries. It pays to feed the pig. It pays to give plenty of milk to tlie calf. It will pay Uncle Sam to take care of the common peo ple, and in some manner cut the taxes. A few years ago Uncle Sam wanted a few houses, a lot of machinery and other labors performed. Prices uncall ed for and unheard of were paid to common men for services rendered. Tlie common man dreamed of himself as a retired financier. The one time slave pocketed bis 87 to $lO per day. Many jobs went begging. Men would not work. Those who did. many of them laid up enough in two days to give them more than sufficiently for the re mainder of the week. The world went money mad. Taxes were raised in these inflated times. Now, why not descend in proportion. A dollar will buy more than a bushel of corn now, and our taxes are just as high as when corn sold for two dol lars per bushel. Cotton has sold for from 7 to 23c per pound the past year. When cotton was selling for from 35 to 45 cents per pound this tax burden was weighty, but now it’s bringing bankruptcy, poverty and ruin. One fellow, in writing a pri vate letter from South Georgia said: “When the boll weevil and high taxes get in their work the tax hunter will have a fine time in Winder. The owls will hoot in your empty barns and your streets will grow up in weeds. The tiny hare will bed on your sidewalks and the hound will tree the fox in the de serted banks and manufacturing blocks 'of your pretty city. Your children will walk to church if you have the heart to go. No mobile joy rides ; no gas to burn; no cash with which to buy it. Your diet will be corn bread with little salt, washed down with water; no soda nor sugar.” Then we will resort to any means for that which feeds the body. Murder will hold sway; theft will be a very com mon practice. Come on, tax collector, ake my lands of desolation and see what you can make of them. This is but a drop in the ocean of misery awaiting if oppression contin ues and I fear to prophecy further. C. M. THOMPSON.

Yes, in one way or another, we all do it—not literally, but figura atively speaking. We all know we shouldn't do certain things, yet we keep on doing them until the inevitable happens. You know you shouldn’t carry large sums of money about, and you shouldn’t leave it in your safe or hide it away—yet how many do it? Carelessness, sometimes; uimecessary tardiness in starting for the bank—there are many excuses. The “inevitable” may never happen to you, and it may happen the very next time.
