Browning, who has been the efficient Superintendent of the Cochran Public Schools for the past live years has accepted the Superin tendency ot the Moultrie High School, at a considerable larger sal ary than the school hoard at this place could afford, although the hoard went the full limit and offer ed Prof. Browning all the induce ments they possibly could to stay. Realizing his eminent qualities, the need of his continued services, re membering the work he had done for us in the past, not only in the school room, hut for our C'ty and new County. Mr. Browning was offered several hundred dollars more than was offered to any one else, in fact more than the town was really able to pay, and very much more on the average, than the amounts paid Superintendents throughout Geor gia for schools the size of Cochran. While we feel like the School, the City and the County of Bleckley will suffer a distinct loss, yet we do not blame Mr. Browning for accept ing a better position. He goes to a growing city of six thousand or more people, with a school enroll ment of between seven and eight hundred and at one of the largest salaries paid to any public school Superintendent outside of the cities in the state of Georgia. Cochran will ever remember the substantial and lasting work Prof. Browning lias accomplished here. He is yet a young man in the vigor of manhood. He came here live years ago with little experience and staried on a small salary. The town fully appreciating his work raised his salary from year to year until 1 venture to say we are paying him the largest salary by far than any City in the State of Georgia the size of Cochran is pay ing the school superintendent. Prof. Browning lias developed in to a well known educator. This development has taken place in our community. It would have been impossible without the full co-ope ration and support of the loyal pa trons of the Cochran High School, The school has grown, Mr. Brown ing has grown. Mind you a thor" oughly independent proposition. Catch the point. There cannot and never will he any independent de velopment. Fellow citizens and pa trons of the Cochran High School we will have to help the teacher if we expect the teacher to help us. Prof Browning will be succeeded by Prof. It. M. Monts, of Lyons, Ga. He comes to us highly recom mended as a strong school man and COCHRAN, BLECKLEY COUNTY GEORGIA.

He is regarded as one of the best men in South Geor gia. We feel sure that the school was very fortunate in securing him. Now we want to implore every loy al citizen, every patron of the school to give Prof. Monts and the school their full and hearty co-ope ration and henceforth bend every effort for the future welfare of our school and the moral and intellec tual uplift of our community. At all times working for harmony and leaving nothing undone to pro mote the best interests of the com munity, whatever may be our indi vidual differences, when it comes to the interest of our school let us get together, pull together and stay to gether and wc are hound to go for ward .

Tcnn., May 20 — Reunion events, amusement fea tures provided in connection with the reunion, and visiting the battle fields, will furnish a continuous round of pleasure and educational benefit in the city during the Con federate Veterans’ annual gathering May 27-29 —in fact the entire week —siu'li as lias seldom been the case in this or otlnr southern citys. All preparations are rapidly coming to a focus, and there is no doubt about visitors that week having the time of their lives. Every day indica tions are received that the 1913 re union will attract a record breaking crowd, and the important news that the south-western railroads will grant the one cent a mile each way fare, just the same as the south eastern lines, guarantees that every section of the old Confederacy will he largely represented here. This means that veterans can reasonably count on seeing their comrades, no matter in What section they are lo cated. for they will come in large numbers from Texas and the other Trans-Mississippi Department states just as they will come from the states east of the Mississippi river Mrs. I).

Dynamite Explosions Continue to Occur It seems that after the celebrated McNamara trial the periodical dy namite explosions continue through out, various parts of the United States. Associated press dispatch from Pittsburg, states: Pittsburg, May 15. —Frequent explosions of dynamite and powder in western Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia, and attempts to explode heavily-filled magazines, are causing anxiety, and a joint state investigation is a possibility. Since last Saturday more than ten persons have been killed, scores have been injured, some fatally, and much property has been ruin ed. 'fhe epidemic of accidents began last Saturday, when 500 sticks of dynamite exploded in the magazine of the Sunshine Coal and Coke com pany’s mine near Masontown, Pa., resulting in the death of four and injury of two score. Yesterday 1,700 pounds of dyna mite and 70 kegs of powder stored in the magazine of the Consolidated Coal Company at Eckhart, Md., let go. Three were killed and a dozen injured. Last Monday an attempt was made to blow lip the Brownsville- Uniontown passenger train at Lack rone, Pa. A track walker found nine sticks of dynamite placed un der the joints of the rails of the Monongahela railroad. A jar would have exploded the dynamite. Within 75 yards of the railroad was the plant of the Cameron Powder company, containing 20,000 pounds of powder and 500 pounds of dyna mite. Epigrams on Cleanliness During the preparations for the clean.up campaign in Chicago, Dr. George B. Young, health commis sioner of the city, issued from his department a bulletin containing these pointers: “Cleanliness is the keystone in the arch of life.” “To measure the health security of a neighborhood take a look at its back yards and its alleys. Shun a dirty neighborhood.” “Some people seem to think that alleys are maintained as places where they may indiscriminately deposit their wastes and filth. Get that notion out of your head ’ ’ “The least desirable citizen is a habitually dirty citizen. For such tin; ducking stool should he reviv ed”. “A clean city is a plagueless city. “Healthy is as cleanly does.” “Cleanliness begins at home.” “First aids to cleanliness: Dispo sition, elbow grease, soap, shovel, rake, fire.” —American Press. NUMBER 42 Peaches Are Nearly Ripe At Americus The Crop Generally Will Be Dis appointing—Only Half Crop Expected From Big Orchards Americus, May 20. —The first ripe peaches will he upon the mar ket here within ten days, but the crop here, generally, will be disap pointing. In the best orchards a half crop is expected, while in others a ten per cent yield will he the best. J. L. Glawson, superintendent of the Ware orchard of 100,000 trees, said today that a ten per cent crop was all lie expected. The failure is attributed largely to the lack of pruning and care of the orchards, anil to the heavy rains during blooming period, which washed pol len from the blooms. This later casualty, Mr. Glawson stated, was most serious, as with the pollen re moved the blooms fell from the trees. In the Ware orchard there are more than 100,000 trees, Mr. Glawson says, and some very fine fruit has been produced there in re cent years. L. M. Hansford has an orchard of 5000 trees, which are given care ful attention. Mr. Hansford ex pects a 50 per cent crop this year. The cutting down of the Bagley orchard with its 200,000 trees sever al months ago, with the poor crop prospects otherwise this year, would seem to indicate a small fruit yield from the Americus territory, which in recent years lias come into prom inence as one of the most produc tive fruit sections of southern Geor gia.
