The News and Sun has hired Sat
terfield and his Little Bear. They are
coming to grow with Griffin. Satter
field is one of America’s greatest car
toonists and he has been hired at
great expense. No other paper in the
country the size of the News and Suto
can hire Satterfield. His service is
purely metropolitan and we know it
will please our readers.
When Robert W. Satterfield, the
now famous cartoonist, used to ride
on a load of potatoes or apples from
the farm up in Mercer county'where
he was born, to New Castle, he little
dreamed that he would one day be
drawing cartoons for the News and
Sun.
But Mr. Satterfield i»>going to do
the cartoon work for the News and
Sun, and will begin Tuesday,June 2. It
is twenty years since he used to make
those potato trips to New Castle.
During that time he has grown into
fame. The News and Sun has grown,
too, from a struggling" little sheet
into the best paper in middle Georgia.
Twenty years ago, it could not have
afforded to pay for the Work of a first
class cartoonist.
Mr. Satterfield is a genius in his
chosen work. All during his school
days he had a tendency for drawing
and really taught himself, but never
thought of becoming an artist His
first business experience was in the
capacity of manager of a small
creamery. This lasted three years.
He then decided to try his hand at
newspaper art work and secured a

Vice President Declares Too Little
God Almighty in Present Educa
tional System.
Vice President Marshall’s declara
tion that one of America’s ills of to
day “is that there is too much science
in the so-called educational system
and too little God Almighty,” has oc
casioned wide comment among Am
erican church people. The vice presi
dent made the statement at a notable
church gathering in Washington last
week. *
“There is this thing wrong in many
of the churches,” said the vice presi
dent, “that because church and state
are separate and the state makes toe
schools, the church feels itself ab
solved from any duty in the direction
of education of youth.
Church Is Awakening.
“The state is permitted to mould
children from the age of six up
through the time when they are going
to college, where many of toe profes
sors are agnostics or atheists. But
now the church is awakening to toe
fact that children should be reared in
the way of Christian faith from the
nursery upward. I believe that there
is in this country today a great spirit
ual awakening and the church is be
ginning to see that it has turned over
to toe state entirely too many of its
functions.”
Will Join Socialists.
The vice president also let it be
known that some day he would forget
all of the political parties and join
the socialists.
“But,” he added, “I shall never do
this until it becomes a friend of the
church; never while it flaunts on the
streets a red banner in the face of
faith in God and the marriage ser
vice. The socialism in which I be
lieve and to which I hope some day
to adhere is not that which concerns
itself with sonsidenVton power but
that of spirit.”

IKTEBESTIHG OPERETTA
' PRESENTED LAST NIGHT
Princess Chrysanthemum Pleases
Large Audience—To Be Re
peated Tonight.
u .
operetta, Princess Chrysanthe
mum, presented so successfully at the
opera house Monday night is to be re
peated tonight, and all who failed to
see it the first time should avail them
selves of this opportunity.
As the curtain rose on the first act
last night it revealed a scene of great
beauty, the Emperor’s garden, with
its white lattice work and pergola,
hung with vines and graceful clusters
of wistaria. From overhead were
suspended great boughs of pink cher
ry blossoms, while baskets of Japan
ese wicker held gorgeous chrysanthe
mums in full bloom. The light was
furnished by dozens of Japanese lan
terns that shed a soft glow on toe
quaintly costumed subjects gathered
to celebrate toe birthday of the prin
ces*- . .
In contrast to this was the cave of
inky night, shown in act 2, where
Saucer Eyes, the wizard, wrought his
mystic spells by means of which the
princess was separated from her
father and her lover at the instiga
tion of Prince So-81i, a jealous rival
of the favored suitor.
The principals were all in good
voice and played their parts to the
eminent satisfaction of the audience.
Miss Marjorie Hayes Wolcott was a
most gracious and charming Princess
Chrysanthemum. As the emperor,
Mr. Frank Baxter, gave an admir
able portrayal of a merciful (?) mon
arch. Mr. H. E. Williams and Mr.
Herbert Johnson were rival suitors
for the hand of the princess and one
of the most charming of the musical
numbers was the duet, “The Dawn of
Love,” between Prince So-True and
the princess.
Miss Marguerite Blakely, as Fairy
Moonbeam, received an ovation when
she appeared with her attendant band
of dainty little fairies.
Mr. Albert Parham was most con
descending as Top-knot, the court
chamberlain, while Mr. Howell Ed
wards was terrible to behold as Sau
cer Eyes, the magician.
The chorus sang with spirit and
enthusiasm some attractive choral
numbers and there was a fan dance
and a sprite dance to add to the spec
tacular effect.
Among the best musical numbers
that toe hearers will long remember
were the princess’s song, “Which
Shall it Be?” with chorus, accom
paniment; “Love’s Pathway,” "Love’s
Kingdom,” “Lullaby Land” and “The
Japanese Sailor Man.”
Altogether the operetta was one of
the most spectacular and delightful
entertainments ever given in Griffin.

BIG FRUIT CROPS.
I With the Exception of Peaches, More
Fruit Is Expected This Year
Than fa 1812.
‘ Washington, May 25.—General
. prospects for a large yield of fruits
, of all kinds, with the possible excep
tion of peaches, have not been equal-
. ed at any time within the part decade,
I save in 1912, according to the report
today of the United States chamber
of commerce’s committee on statis-
, tics and standards on the condition
of fruit as of May 2, last.
, The report deals with all fruits of
i commercial importance, including ap
ples, peaches, pears, plums and
' prunes, grapes, oranges, lemons grape
fruit, strawberries, cherries and the
like.
[ The connyittee reports that more or
, less damMe has occurred in nearly
I all sections to fruits, but that save in
r the case of peaches, it is not a matter
i of much moment. Severe cold -snaps
in early spring caused considerable
, damage to peaches in many stat os.
. Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas suf-
I sered heavily, the outlook fa these
states being for not over 25 per cent
. of a normal crops. More or less seri
ous damage also was done in Missou
ri, southern Mississippi, northwestern
Alabama, south and east Texas, south
western Georgia, western Kentucky,
I Western Tennessee, southern Idaho
