It is
Smith.
now U. S. Senator Hoke
/ Crops are fine and Carroll county
watermelons are now on the market
“In everything give thanks."
With A. 0. Bacon and Hoke Smith
an the upper branch of Congress, the
Empire State of the South will be
ably represented. Sure!
The fountains on the public
square, furnishing the coolest of
water, and the tanks on our streets
are Carrollton's best contributions
these summer days, to the comfort
of man and beast.
Among the names already men
tioned as successors to Hoke Smith
as governor are C. M. Candler, H. W.
Hill, Pope Brown and Gen. Wm. A.
Wright, either of whom would make
Georgia a safe and able chief exec
utive.
Carroll is the best all-round agri
cultural county in the state and her
citizens are progressive and up-to-
date, not only in politics, but also,
and better, in the art and science of
farming, and the A. and M. Fair
this fall will prove our assertion true.
Get ready for the fair.
Had you ever noticed that where
there were shade trees it is cooler in
the summer and warmer in the
winter and healthier all the time? It
is true. Therefore look after the
shade trees. They are things of
beauty and a joy forever. How
about a tree-planting day this com
ing fall or winter?
Carroll county is proud of her
good roads and The Free Press de
sires to again commend the tireless
energy of Commissioner Braswell
along this line. But, remember,
this good work is just in its infancy.
Let the good work go on. In order
to do this, the ebunty needs to place
a first-class man in Commissioner
Braswell’s place. There is not a
more important office in the county
and the present salary seems to be
entirely too small. Why not in
crease it to $2,500? Would it not
be economy in the long run?

JACK TAR IN COMMAND.
He Was on His Own Quarterdeck and
Bossed His Lieutenant.
! Nowhere are the lines of rank
itidro sharply drawn than in the
navy. On board ship Jack never
dreams of crossing the mark, but
off service the personal ego some
times reasserts itself and did even
in the old days. In “Naval Yarns”
(W. H. Long cites an instance of
this which happened more than a
hundred years ago. On ihc return
of Admiral Rodney the British sea
men received (liejr first installment
of prize money, amounting to £80
per man.
One of the seamen hired the Lon
don stagecoach to take the trip to
London with liis lady. In those
days there were not many public
'conveyances, and Jack took tlie
whole coach for himself and com
panion. Just as the vehicle was
about to start a naval officer came
up and requested the coachman to
open the door.
“The coach is full, sir,” said the
coachman, touching his hat.
“How can that be? There are
only two in il.”
“True, vour honor. One of the
crew of ihc Magnificent lias en
gaged the conch for himself and
party.”
“Oh, if that's the case lot me see
him. and I'll soon settle the mat
ter,” responded the officer, who
opened the door and tried to enter.
Jack stopped him.
“What ship? Where you steering
to? Don’t von know I’m captain of
this craft?”
“I know it, Jack,” answered his
officer. “Y r ou must give me a bertli
on hoard for London.”
“This is my ship,” insisted Jack,
“and nobody shall come on board
lest I says the word.”
“Lieutenant Goodwin wants to
take a berth in your cabin,” inter
posed the coachman.
“He never axed me into his cabin
on board the Magnificent. How-

Bismarck and Coffea.
Among great coffee drinkers a
high place must be given to Bis
marck. He liked coffee unadulter
ated. While with the Prussian army
in Franco he one day entered a
country inn and asked the host if
lie had any chicory in the house.
Ho had. Bismarck said, “Well,
bring it me; all you have.” The
man obeyed and handed Bismarck
a canister full of chicory. “Are
you sure this is all you have?” de
manded the chancellor. “Yes, my
lord; every grain.” “Then,” said
Bismarck, keeping the canister by
him, “go now and make me a pot of
coffee.”—London Chronicle.

Her Father's Child.
The six-year old daughter of a
well known evangelistic preacher
was playing on the sidewalk one
day when a shabbily dressed and
downcast man approached her
father’s house.
Halting at the foot of the steps,
he looked at her, and in a weary
voice—the voice of an unsuccessful
! book agent—he asked if her father
might he found in his study.
“He isn’t home,” said the little
girl, drawing close to him and gaz
ing up into the tired face, “but
he’ll be home pretty soon. You go
into the house, you poor, perishing
soul, and mother ’ll look after you
till he comes.”—Youth’s Compan
ion.
