Genuine Reform
“I never was much of a re.
former,” Said Mr. Billie Sanders •
“Pve seed so much reform that
Pm sick of it. Maybe ef I could
git a glimpse of the reel an’ genu
ine article, I’d like it better, bui
the only kind'I’ve ever seed is
the kind the politicians trot out
w:ea they want office. You
know it’s all buncombe by the
way they open the’r mouth and
see-saw the a’r wi’ the’r hands.
I had the idee that the issues of
the last campaign was all tor re-
form ; the rum demon was to be
lifted out wi’ a pa’r of ice’tongs,
an’ the Cussed Corporations
was to be helt up an’ skint alive.
I aint even seed the tongs, an’
nuther have I seed the hide of
the Cussed Corporations, but I
hear tell that the skinnin’ has
been done. Well, that satisfies
my taste lor blood all right, an’
now I want to see some of the
one-hoss politicians operated on
lor the’r appendixes. They,d
feel much lighter and nimbler.”

on Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week were marked by the
success which has characthrized
the entire term, a success which
may be said to be phenomenal,
since the beginning, and growth
of the school has been in the
face of almost overwhelmntng
obstacles, yet its prosperity has
bten remarkable. Owing to the
recent opening of the school,
the shortness of its first term,
aud the fact that none of the
students entered were sufficiently
advanced to form a Senior class,
no ‘‘Graduating exercises” took
place. The student body was
represented, however, in the en
tertainment given Tuesday ov-
the laboratory.
In the science room were ar
ranged specimens of farm pro
ducts along various lines. These
included a potato plant bearing
“potato apples,” plants attacked
by San Jose scale, oats, blue-
grass, clover, etc ; mounted spec
imen of insects found on the
tarm, and, in alcohol, a spread
ingadder, garter snake, lizards,
scorpions and other reptiles all
caught and preserved by the
students. Specimens of iron b -i
riteB formed a beginning of a
mineralogical collection. Prof.
Brittain his inspired excellent
work from his students and has
ening-which was attended by a I his department in good shape,
large crowd from the town and
county. Music was furnished by
the Carrpljton orchestra. The
play was tinder the management,
of two^mefnbers of the faculty,
Virs. Brittain and Miss Miller.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
The exhibition on Wednesday
morning of work from the Do
mestic Science department, in
charge of Miss Miller, drew an
intesesting crowd .J>oth before
and after the speech by Judge
Wright. In fhe Domestic Sci
ence kitchen all was spotless and
ready for inspection. Small oil
stoves; eight in number, are used
by the girls in their cooking les
son and each student has her
own table fitted out with 6upplie\
Two glass cases held the exhib
ited work of the student which
included chocolate, coconut, and
pound cakes, jelly roll, beaten
and baking powder biscuits, egg
custard, Boston brown bread,
Vienna bread, two loaves of
Graham bread, fudge, creamed
eggs, in pate shells, stuffed eggs,
etc. These delicacies w re very
tempting in appearance and oc
casioned much flattering com
ment, In the sewing room,
which is on the second floor, was
laid out for inspection, the arti
cles completed by the students
during the terms. Each mem*
ber of the class exhibited a com
plete set of lingerie and an em
broidery shirt waist, besides
many smaller articles. There
were also on new models made
by this year’s class, to remain
the property of the school, and
S kept for the benefit of suc-
eding classes. These consisted
a child’s dress, a doll dressed
in hand made clothing, illustrat
ing various stitches, aprons,
mounted models hung on the
walls, one set by each member
of the class, illustrating basting
and sewing stitches, hemming,
tucking, straight,bias and French
fells, button holes, loops, eyelets,
blanket stitch, over handing and
sewing on lace, the placket and
hem stitching. The work was
all daintily done and the pretty
garments and well made models
furnished an excellent exhibition
of the work of this department.
The sewing room is furnished
with two machines, a cheval
glass, a dozen small and two
large catting tables. A large
chest of drawers is much needed
to contain the work of' the stud
ents. This room contained also
MORNING EXERCISES.
The exercises were opened at
ten-thirty by music by the Car
rollton band. They played sev
eral pieces which were heartily
cheered, and then swung into
“College Days’’ calling forth
great appluse. On the platform
were seated trustees J. R. Level
of Meriwether, T L Thomar-
son of Harris, W. I. Van Horne
of Chattahoochee, Jesse A. Mur
rah of Carroll and Geo. P. Mun-
roe of Marion, chairman ; Hon.
W. C. Wright, the orator of the
day; Prof, and Mrs. Brittain,
Miss Miller and Prof. Daniel of
faculty-J, J Thomasson, Hon,
W. C. Adamson, Rev. Wm.
Dunbar, L. C, Mandeville and
Prof. J. H. Melson. The stage
was attractive with its decora
tions of potted plants and pink
and white oleander blossoms.
On one side was a fine exhibit
of farm products, corn, cabbage,
oats, onions, etc, all ot prize
quality.
After a prayer by Rev. Wm .
Dunbar, Prof. Melson announc
ed that a report of the school’s
financial condition would be
made by Mr. L. C. Mandeville.
This report which we hope to
publish elsewhere contained
much interesting matters. The
4th District School was erected
at a lower cost than any other in
the state, $6,000 less,ti be exact,
free water is furnisned by the
town, thirty-five acres extra of
firm land given in lieu of lights
which it was not possible to lur-
nish from town. A machine
shop and power plant will be
erected during the summer. Rock
is being hauled now for that pur
pose, funds for the girls dormi
tory are guaranteed by Hon. W.
C. Wright.
At the close of this report
Hon. Geo. P. Munro of Marion,
chairman of the board of trustees,
made a witty and strring speech
introducing the speaker. He
said that the best advertisement
for the school is its students, well
satisfied and healthful, will go
home to spread abroad its merits.
A tribute was paid to both Mr,
Adamson and Mr. Wright, and a
hearty laugh called forth, when
Mr. Munrce, referring to our rep
resentatives’ long term in Con
gress, said, “I’m told that when
Judge Adamson dies, our speaker
today will be the next congress
man trom the 4th district.” Con
cluding by saying that a lawyer
is involved in every good work,
and declaring that like, Homer
of old, these counties claim the
speaker for their own, the chair
man introduced Judge W. C.
Wright of Newnan.
Judge Wright thanked his in
troducer tor his kindness, con
gratualated the faculty and
students on their good work,
solemnly reiterated his promise
to secure funds for the girls’ dor
mitory and proceeded with his
speech which was a masterly and
scholarly discourse. He gave a
brief review of Georgia’s history
from the founding of the colony,
commented on her phenomenal
success under adverse exterior
circumstances, such as war and
We Never Ask
You to Pay
In Advance
The mail order house says—send U3 the money
and we will send you the goods.
We say—choose THEN pay.
We offer you the opportunity of examining to
your heart’s content and then please yourself
about accepting or otherwise.
Don’t you think this is a far safer and more natur
al way to shop than to pay in advance for some
thing you have never even seen?
We think it is, and if you will give us a chance
we will demonstrate it to you.

government officials unfavorable
to this section of the country ; he
noted Georgia’s great wealth and
advantage in her soil, crops, min
erals, cl mate, water, sea coasts,
harbors, water power, etc ; enu
merated some of her crops, such
as 2,000,000 bales of cotton, 50,-
000.000 bushels of corn. 4,000,-
bushels of oats, 2,500,000, wheat
etc., but he said, “Georgia’s
■atural resources and her indus
trial achievements, pale into in-
significence beside her sturdy,
chivalric, patriotic men and her
beautifu 1 , chaste and noble wom
en.” There is no negro problem
among us, he continued, for
wherever the Anglo Saxon race
is, it will be supreme, and Geor
gia is nobly doing her work
along educational lines. She has
established numbers of schools
at Dahlonega, Athens, Milledge-
ville and other towns, besides
these agricultural schools in each
district where education of the
head, hand and heart are carried
on together. From the South
came the first call for liberty,
the slogan “government of, for
and by the penple,’’ the declara
tion of independence itself.
Immediately alter the close of
ifts speech Judge Wright was
forced to leave in order to catch
the one-ten train.
After another selection by the
orchestra, Mr. Melson made an
nouncement concerning -the
prizes offered by the Virginia
Carolipar Chemical Company for
the bqst essay on fertilizers. The
first b ze $16, was won by C.
C. Robertson of Hogansville, the
second 212 by Miss Anabel
Yeates ot Carroll and the third
$7 by Miss Annie M irtin of Car-
roll. Wiih this announced the
morniDg exercises concluded.
On Wednesday evening Judge
Eugene!Ray, of Columbus, de
livered before a large audience
his mujh anticipated lecture,
“Smart Ab es, Wise Acres, and
Sweet Maries.” Judge Ray is an
easy, ready speaker, and held
the attention of his large audi
ence from the beginning to the
end of his lecture, which was,
by turn humorous, grave, light
and earnest; witty and full of in
telligence throughout- Judge
Ray is well known and popuarl
both as a newspaper writer and
aiecturer. Music was, as usual,
furnished by the Carrollton band.

The “Star-Spangled Babe
Bethlehem.”
I had watched negro preach
ers from my infancy, never neg,
lecting an opportunity. The most
memorable one that I ever noted
was Old Anthony, who had been
a slave of SwepCox, of Lexing
ton. He would “holler”, hardly
ever saying anything intelligiole
or consecutive. One night in a
rare fit of inspiration he coined
the phrase, “the star-spangled
babe of Bethlehem”, and this
gem “flamed in the torehead” of
every sermon of his afterwards.,
