MR. A. F. MYERS DEAD
Mews was received in Carrollton
WodnosdJ* morning announcing the
death of Mr. A. F. Myers, of Ea9t
Point.
Mr .Myers was formerly a citizen of
Carrollton, manager of the Myers Ton
Cent Btoro. Ho moved to Bast Point
where he opened tho second •stOid. He
was bitriotl Thursday mbrnliig at Col
lege Park.
He was a good man and.a good citl-
IKoii,' and his many Carrollton friends
sympathize with the family, in this sad
bereavement. .#
It was ii novel sight on lust Biiuday
mor.ning to see the twenty-four hun
dred liens at tho “Kinney cliickon
mncli” wake up suddenly, come down
from their perches And begin scratch
ing for Their breakfast us though tho
Min was shining and they had over-
dept tluMnselves. The lights were
turned oil at - r > o'clock, sun time, and
ninny of ttie hens had finished tlieir
meal and were on tho nests shortly uf
hr 0 o'clock. It. is Mr. Klimov's in
tention to turn on the lights 10 minutes
earlier each morning until they will
finally he turned on at 4 o’clock. The
“working day” is thus lengthened un
til ttio liens will have ns near “summer
time” hours ns possible. Then with a
bountiful supply of green food and
warm sleeping quarters there will bf
no reason why winter egg production
will not be as heavy as spring and
summer.
Wo hope the plan will fool tho hens,
but some folks arc not encouraged to
longer working hours by electric lights
but get up ns into as possible and “go
to bed with the chickons. ” But then
chickens ore not “sluggards” nnd may
be they will continue to get uj> nnd
hustle long after tho novelty has
worn off and not say “a little more
slumber, a little more sleep,” ns folks
do. X. X. X

JIM WEBB MADE DIRECTOR
OF CITIZENS BANK
Whether you pay for purchases on the spot, or pay
bills monthly, pay with a check on your bank.
Because people who want to “make a bluff” adopt
the practice of carrying a “roll,” business men are
never so cordial to a man with a “roll” as they are
to a man. who carries a bank balance and issues
checks on it for cash purchases or in settling regular
accounts.
, There is business prestige in a bank account that a
roll of money, however large, can never attain.

L. C. MANDEVILLE, Pres. C. A. LYLE, Cashier
Carrollton, Ga.
The statement was presented by Rev
L. A. Henderson, of Columbus, Ga., as
part of the social service report, nnd if
as follows:
“Tho perpetuity of free institutions
ie conditioned upon obedience of low
and proper respect for constituted au
thority. Tho most barbarous, heathen-
igh nnd unchristian form of lawless
ness with which we have to deal • is
lynching, or mob violence. It is a can
cer on our body politic, and a disgrace
to our Christian civilization. How any
man eftn muster up enough audacity ti
claim Christianity nnd join a mob and
assist, or even approve, the murderous
ly taking away of human life, no mat
ter on what pretense or reason, is in
comprehensible and preposterous.
“The Christian church, surely our
own, must sound the death knell to an
nrcliy in all its forms; but more espe
cially when a band of men arrogate to
themselves the right to become govern
ment, court, jury, witnesses, and thus
proceed to commit murder. It is dia
bolical. It is hellish. It puts govern
ment, society, and the church at the
mercy of the hobgoblins of tho under
world. Wc must admit of no excep
tions. There are none.”
