Cash Baggett Caught.
Some time ago we said that the only
way you could get Cash Baggett into
a garden was to blindfold him and back
him in. Some time after that he told
us that if we would come down and
look at his Irish potato patch he felt
sure we would apologize for what we
said about him. We told him that if
his potato patch was good as he said
it was, we would bei glad to apologize.
We admit Cash has a good patch, and
were about to apologize, when we found
out or good authority that he hasn’t
done a single thing towards that pota
to patch. We can prove by the very
best evidence that Mrs. Baggett bought
tin! potatos, that she planted them,
that she has worked them, and that
the only thing Cash has done was to
eat his full share after they were cook
ed by Mrs. Baggett and put on the ta
ble. It's a plain case of “We killed the
bdar.”
A Great Catastrophe

One of the greatest catastrophes in

the frantic men, women and children
were plunged to death on the floor be
neath and 75 adults and children kill
ed and burned to death. Out of the 75
<S2 were so badly burned as to he un
recognizable. These t>2 were buried in
o'iie larg grave. There* wbrq 3t,000
people present deluding the governor
of the* state*. Old men anil women,

by the attending physicians anil her
heart-broken mother, hut to no avail.

AN ANTI POOL
ROOM BILL.
Mr. Albert J. Woodruff, representa
tive-elect from DeKalb county, will in
troduce in the legislature in June a

the smaller cities of the state, but
these poolrooms have become gycat
lounging places for tin* idle, and on
this account, are real nuisances, Mr.
Woodruff in his monthly paper pub
lished in Atlanta. “You can visit any
poolroom in thel city of Atlanta or any
other city in tlie state, and find from
°5 to 50 men and boys wasting tin
time in these dens.” We hope Mr.
Woodruff will be successful m having
his bill made into law.
SEABOARD DOING
A GREAT WORK.
The Seaboard railroad is doing a
great work for the public along its
line Thev are always alert to ev
e-vtbimr that is of interest and help
to'those who live along ltsterritory.
Ope of the things for which it
should be commended is the sending out
Of posters to its agents and other (*n
rlovees in regard to “emigrant agents.
In these folders they are calling atten
tion to the fact that it is a crime in
Georein to cneage in the busings of
an “emigrant agent,” without first hav
ine obtained a license to do so.
They instruct their agents, in thesa
folders, to reoort to the local authori
ties anv violation of this b>w that may
lie brought to tlicir attention.
The Cook or the Book.
“Hear the truth: The early church
prayed in the upper room, but tin
twentieth century church cooks in
supper room. Today tlie supper room
has taken the place of the upper room.
Flay has taken the place of prayer, aim
feasting thd place of fasting. Then 1
are more full stomachs m tlie chuuh
than there are pended knees and brok
en hearts. There is more fire in the
kitchen range than there is in tlie
church pulpit. When you build a fire
in the church kitchen, it often, it not
altogether, put out the fire in the pul
pit And ice cream chills the fervor of
the' spiritual life. The early Christians
were not cooking in tin* supper room
the day the Holy Ghost came, hut they
were praying in the upper room. They
were not waiting on tables, but they
were waiting on God. They were not
waiting for the tire from tin* stove, but
for the fire from above. They were de
tained by the command of God. and
not, entertained by tin* cunning of men.
They were filled with the Holy Ghost,
and not stuffed with stew or roast.
Oh, we would like to sis* the cooking
squad put out, and tin* praying band
put in; less liam and sham, and more
heaven. Less jie and more piety. Less
use of the cook and more use of the
old Book.
“Put out the fin* in the church stove,
and build it in the church altar. More
love and more life. FGwer dinners,
and get after the sinners. Let us have
a church full of servers, serving God
and waiting for His dear Son from
heaven!” , ,

Gasoline Cures
Herd of Cattle
Dying of Disease
Moultrie,, Ga., May io.—

ty farmer and cattleman,
ela'ms that gasoline administer
ed internally cheeked a deadly
disease that broke put in his herd

ed that he was helpless, Mr. Per

that collapsed and was near
death. The next ml.aiming (he
animal was up and walking
around and there had been a
pronounced lyessening of the
great swelling about his throat.
“I saw the gasol'ne had work
ed,” Mr. Perkins told a Moultrie
Newspaper man, “and I then
gave all of the eows in the herd
—the sick and t.lift well —three
quarters of a cup and not an
other one died.”
Mr. Perkins insisted that a
number of his neighbors who
had lost odws from the same
mysterious a nd: f'ase tried gaso
line with the same remarkable
SUCCCRS.

Georgia Negroes In
North Are Destitute.
News report of Boston,, Mass., tells
of distress among Gen-gin negroes, nml
negroes from other states of tlie south,
who have gone to n irthern anil eastern
centers for tie* promised betterment of
their port ons that have been made by
immigration and. industrial agents.
Tin* following is a late story under a
Boston dating:
The large number of negro laborers
and farm hands, who are arriving here
from Geortria. ’n the majority of eas
es destitute, homeless nml friendless,
has eritatcd a serious problem for the
chief industrial cities ot. New England,
according to a statement issued hy the
New England chamber of commerce
officials today.
Numerous printouts have been rece’v
ed from chandlers of eomrnetree and of
hoards of trade i:i New Hampshire,
Connecticut anil Massachusetts.
It is alleged that considerable false
propaganda has already caused the mi
gration of nearly 25.000 negroes from
Georgia to tin* Now England states.
Visions of high industr'al wages, which
are not available, a demand for cheap,
unskilled labor, which does not exist,
and the alleged attractive living con
ditions for the negro, in New England,
are drawing the negrom here.
In some cities the number of unem
ployed and homeless negroes lately ar
riving from Georgia has already pre
sented a serious pr obi elm. Urgent re
quests that some acton be taken have
been received by the state department
of labor. —Washington Reporter.

Everybody is Invited to hear the fer
mon on “Mathew"—Publican, Man of
Affairs, Apostle, and Author, next Sun
day Evening at 8:30 at the First Bap
tist church. If any man thinks reli
gion and business incompatible, if any
thinks himself too settled in the af
fairs of life to surfender to Jesus
Christ, if any thinks it too difficult and
embarrassing for a big man to come out
into a public confession of the Saviour
,of sinners, if any thinks there will come
a more opportune time to acknowledge
IJesus, all *uch should hear the sermon
on Mathew.
1 The ordinance of baptism will be ad-
Iministered at the close of the pr.-ach
ing service.
BILLtiKEESON SAYS:
Roys, something you must learn:
Learn to steal—
Learn to swear—
Learn to lie—
When you steal, steal yourself
out of bad company.
When you swear, swear in a
court of justice and swear the
truth.
When you ir lie at home on
your own virtous pillow.
Now, cotton is up and the best
boll weevil machine, to use is
the plow and the hoe. If a man
thinks he can sit down on his
stool of do-nothing and live with
out work and have a good time
will come out like the little Lay
what stuck his finger in a tub
of water and pulled it out and
stood 1 there looking for the hole.
