H. R. Hannah, a cotton buyer of
this city went to Atlanta, Thursday
and secured a room at|the Terminal
Hotel on the fifth floor.
Five minutes later a passerby in
Madi8on-ave saw Hannah standing
erect in a narrow window of his
room. The stroller looked away, then
glanced up again, and saw Hannah
falling to the sidewalk, turning over
and over as he fell. A hand shot
out and clutched a telephone wire
at about the level of the second
floor, but the wire broke and the
man’s terrible descent was not in
terrupted. A second later there was
a thud on the sidewalk, Hannah
died ten minutes later, before the
ambulance from Grady hospital had
arrived.
The sidewalk on the Madison-ave
side of the hotel was thronged with
passers-by hurrying to their trains,
and Hannah fell within a foot or
two of one of them. More than a
dozen persons saw him falling from
the window and turned their heads
away before he struck the pavement
Mr. Hannah was about 35, mar
ried and a cotton buyer for the L C.
Mandeville Company, a Carrollton
cotton firm.
He had no letters in his pocket
leaving a farewell message, nor any
thing throwing any light on the
motive for the suicide, if it were
suicide. The remains were removed
to the undertaking establishment of
Greenberg and Bond,
Almost Thirty Students Secured.
Draughon’s College will soon be
ready to open in Carrollton as Mr.
Padgett, the field manager who has
charge of the work here, reports
that he has secured nearly the re
quired number of students. Some
of the citizens have given this move
ment their loyal support as they
realize that it means a„ great deal
to the young people of Carrollton,
and also to the parents who would
otherwise have to pay much more
to send their sons and daughters
off to a business college.
If thirty students are secured
this week, the college will open for
business next week, so all who are
intreested should make every ef
fort to get the required number this
Arthur C. Minter, general manager
for the Southeastern territory for
the Draughon colleges, will he in
Carrollton to complete the arrange
ments for the opening of the college
ere just as soon as the required
umber of students is assured.
In a letter to Mr. Padgett the
general manager states that he has
recently had a proposition from
three prominent business men in a-
nother city not near so large as
Carrollton that they will personally
guarantee thirty students fora
Draughon branch college. Mr. Min
ter has sent one of his represen-
atives to investigate the matter.
We are too near the required
number now to let this opportunity
pass; especially as it will only re
quire the combined efforts of those
interested for a few days more.
Grasshoppers Attack Cotton
New Orleans, June 15th.—Accord-
to a prominent cotton planter, who
has just returned here after a two
week’s trip to various parts of the
cotton belt, grasshoppers in large
quantities are begining to attack the
cotton crop in sections of Lousiana
and Mississippi.

A Fast Growing Idea
Just at this time many cities of
importance through out the country
are agitating the question of com
mission government Asa rule those
cities which have tried this form of
government are well pleased, and
although it is a somewhat radical
fchange from present system, it is
generally conceded by those who
have studied the subject as being a
far more business-like method of
transacting the affairs of the city.
Most, of those who oppose a com
mission form of government give
as their reason that it is undemo
cratic and destroys the principle of
direct govenment by representatives
chosen at the ballot box by the
people. If this was true it might
be open to objection, but no matter
how commissioners may be named
by popular vote or by appointment
it will be in acordance with the
popular will.
While there may be room for dis
cussion as to how these commission
ers are to be chosen, it must be evi
dent to thinking business men that
there is every reason to believe that
the present system of government
in almost any city can be improved.
At present there is too much pol
itics in city governments generally.
Men are often elected to office on
account of either their personalpopu-
larity or the political influence
without regard to their qualification
to fill the office in a business man-

Kytle Made Head Of
Undertakers
With the election of officers for the
ensuing year and the selection of Ma
con as the place for the 1912 meeting,
the annual convention of the Georgia

The following officers were chosen
S. C. Kytle, of Carrollton, president;
S. R. Greenburg, of Atlanta, vice

Jessie B. Hart, of Macon, was

vention which meets soon at Atlan
tic City, N. J.
The execuitve board will be ap
pointed by President Kytle within
the next ten days.
Following the adjournment of the
morning session, all the delegates
and the manufacturers’ representa
tives were entertained at a
barbecue at White City, given by
the local directors, the Gate City
Casket company and the Atlanta

George M. Napier will be present

Jim Taylor Qf Luthersvilie, Ga., and
Hon. Shm Leigh of Grantville’ Ga.,
are also invited to be present on
this occasion; so let the brethren of
Carroll County get busy and make
this the greatest day for Carroll
Masonry in its history.
A splendid musical programme
will be prepared for the occasion,
which will be in charge of Brother
C. R. Mullins, and this feature will
need no further indorsment than
the fact that “ROSS" is in charge.
The morning session of the con
vention will be devoted to the en
rollment of delegates; election of
officers and exemplification of the
different degrees, interspersed with
music.
The afternoon session will be de-

Remember the date brethern and

Newnanto Have Union Depot

contained the news that a letter
from Hon. Campbell Wallace, Sec
retary of the Railroad Commission
informed them that the petition of
the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of
Newnan asking for a Union Depot
would be passed upon soon, and it is
probable that the Depot, will be
built. We are indned glad to know
that this matter is being pushed by
the Newnan city fathers, inasmuch
as it means quite a lot to our people
in the way of accomodations enroute
to and from Atlanta.
Carrollton Firemen Win Prizes
Carrollton is justly proud of her
magnificent corps of Firefighters,
and the way in which they acquitted
themselves at the recent Firemen’s
Tournament shows that the confi
dence reposed in them by our people
is not misplaced.
Although many of these contests
were entirely new to some of our
Firemen they took part in each and
every one with that progressive
Carrollton Spirit and the determina
tion to put forth their best efforts
to win, and that they were success
ful the following list of prizes will
show:
$75.1st Prize, Siamese Race-Open

A Fatal Accident.
On Saturday afternoon June 7th,
Mr. R. A. Herrin while adjusting
some part of the gearing of a thresh
ing machine, had occasion to get
under the heavy machine, and while
doing the necessary work, the
support underneath gave way let
ting the ponderous weight of the
machine drop upon him, crushing
him so that he died in only a few
minutes.
The death of Mr. Herrin was
great shock to his many friends, and
removes from our midst a good -and
useful citizen.
The deceased was in the 65th year
of his age, married to Miss Amanda
Kelley Dec. 7-1871-was a member
of the first Baptist church Carroll
ton, first uniting with the Providence
Baptist Church in Coweta County
when abnut 18 years of age.
He leaves a wife and daughter
Miss Gena Mae, plso one son W. T.
Herrin of the Carrollton Hardware
Co., and a number of relatives to
mourn his sudden departure, also
many friends who sympathize with
them in their sore bereavement.
Funeral services on Sunday afte--
noon were conducted at the Jordan
Cemetery in presence of a large as
sembly of sympathizing friends, the
Masonic fraternity of which he was
an honored member concluding the
services with the solemn ritual.
May a kind Providence comfort
the bereaved with the hope of
happy meeting beyond this vale of
tears.
