er which can’t be beat. It opens
any can that can be opened by any
can opener, and any can can be
opened by this can opener that can

you can show me a can 1 can” —
But this was where the door was
slammed in his face.
Plausible Enough.
Ascum—How did you make out
with that story you sent to the
Klaptrap magazine ?
Scribbler —Rejected. I fancy it
was too clever.
" Ascum—Too clever?

were afraid it would distract atten

One Point of View.

Industrial Education
For Lessening Crime
A great educational mass meet
ing in the interest of Morris Brown
college, Atlanta, was held at
Bethel African Methodist Episco
pal church Sunday last. A large
crowd, probably 2,000 people, were
present. Deep interest was man
ifested on the part of the white
people, representative white citi
zens, being present. A large col
lection was raised.
Judge C. J. Lester made an in
teresting talk on industrial educa
tion as a means of lessening crime.
He showed that the mass of crim
inals came from the ranks of the
indolent.
President James M. Henderson
spoke on ‘‘Education and Good
Citizenship.” He said that
ignorance and good citizenship
are compatible. Ignorance pro
duces duplicity and makes a man
an easy prey in the hands of the
unscrupulous politician. It engen
ders crime and poverty and helps
to swell the number of the nation’s
prisoners and wards. A good citi
zen is a helpful and productive
factor in the community and
nation. He has interest at stake.
The friends of good government
should see to it that the fullest
opportunity is given to every child
white or black, to obtain an edu
cation as will best fit him for a
good citizen.
Rev. W. R. Branham, pastor of
the Barnesville Methodist church,
read an able paper full of facts
and statistics on the value of
friendly relations between the
races. He spoke of the faithful
ness of the negro in ante-bellum
days. He encouraged the idea of
such mass meetings.
Bishop H. M. Turner preached
at 11 o’clock, and in an interview
said lie was pleased at the progress
the negro is making educationally.
The southern people are to be
congratulated for their aid to
negro education. Bishop Turner
indorses Stinson’s sermons and
speeches recently delivered iu the
state.
The meeting was under the
management of Rev. R. D. Stin
son, commissioner for Morris
Brown college, who said among
other things: “The object of these
mass meetings is for a better
mutual understanding between the
races.” He reiterated the neces
sity for complete divorcement
between the law-abiding and the
criminal element of his race. He
complimented highly the southern
white poeple for the interest and
financial aid given to Morris Brown
college. The meeting was regard
ed by all a success and of profit
to both races.
ACTS IMMEDIATELY.
Colds are sometimes more trouble
some in summer than in winter, it’s so
hard to keep from adding to them while
cooling oit after exercise. One Minute
Cough Cure cures at once. Absolutely
safe. Acts immediately. Sure cure for
coughs, colds, croup, throat and lung
troubles.

Fine Bank Showing
In its first statement, published
in this issue, after being in busi
ness less tnan three months, the
First National Bank of Barnes
ville makes a splendid showing.
Its deposits on July 16th. when
the statement was called for,
amounted to over $20,000. The
profits for the short time the bank
has been in operation amounts to
more than SIOOO, and the bank
owns its own home which is now
being handsomely fitted up and
when completed will be one of the
prettiest banking houses in the
state. Another tine factor is that
there are no bills payable and no
notes and bills rediscounted. The
statement in detail makes a mag
nificent showing, and the atten
tion of the public is directed to it,
because it will prove that the
hank is being conducted in such a
way to deserve the utmost confi
dence of the people.
