JUSTICE LEWIS RESIGNS.
Justice Hal T. Lewis Ims sent
his resignation as associate justice
of the supeme court of Georgia to
Gov. Candler and it is presumed
the resignation will he accepted
promptly. It seems to be a question
whether the governor will make
any appointment to fill the
vacnacy. An opinion prevails that
a justice will he elected at the reg
ular October election. Judge Lewis
was first appointed by Gov. W. Y.
Atkinson and has made a good
judge.
Col. W. W. Lambdin,of Ilarnes
ville, has been mentioned as a can
didate for the vacancy. Ife is
recognized as a lawyer eminently
qualified for the posit ion and would
fully sustain himself on Georgia’s
supreme bench. If he would enter
the race, lie would receive a strong
hacking from various portions of!
the state.
There seems t<> be one serious
obstacle in the wuy of Col. Lamb
din’s candidacy, and that is that
his services are almost indispeu
{jil‘!k here at this time. Tic is so
intimately connected with the af
fairsof Barnesville that his remov
al would be a serious blow to the
city and community. Possibly no
man has done so much for the
community as lie has during the
jtusr year, and while we would like
to see him honored by beingplaced
on the Supreme bench, Ihirnes
ville would much rather help him
get there some other time than at
the present.
THE FALL OF THE YEAR.
This is September. The crisp
morning breeze has already quick
ened the step and rejuvenated the
spirit. The whin of the gin and
the stir in business have encour
aged the business man to greater
efforts for the prosperity of his
firm. The bright faces and happy
laugh of the school children are
seen and heard all about us, driv
ing away the despondency of mind
und body. Nature seems to be
making a supreme effort to draw
t he world and all its creatures into
harmony with itself.
As one finds himself responsive
to these things, he is mode to
praise tlie maker of teh universe
for the wise arrangement of the
season and the countless blessings
which result therefrom. How
high above the wisdom of man is
His wisdom and how bountifully
has He provided for all of His
creation.
Let every one enter into the
spirit of tin' season and remember
to be garteful to his Creator and
helpful as far ns possible to all the
creations of His hand.

A DARING BURGLARY
OCCURRED IN THE HEART OF
THE CITY MONDAY NIGHT.
An exceedingly bold burglary
j occurred in the heart of this city
Monday night, when the store of
: the Bankston Hardware Cos. was
robbed of a Smith & Wesson, 38
calibre, nickel-plated pistol.
This daring feat was accom
plished about 10:80o’clock. One
of the large plate glass show win
dows, £ of an inch thick, was
broken with a rock the size of a
man’s hand, probably thrown by
the burglar from the edge of the
side-walk. It was thrown with
great force and a hole near the
size of a man’s head was broken
in the window, and glass was
scattered all over the space inside
jthe enclosure.
The crash of the breaking glass
j was heard by police officers Cars
well and Chapman and by others
who were on the streets. They
investigated and found the broken
! window. On account of the ab
sence of lights, it was impossible
to have seen the robber, and for
that reason he probably chose the
occasion of the crime.
The burglar must, have had
some unusual motive for the crime,
for he only took one pistol, when
there were several more, besides
a lot of other hardware in the
window.
The guilty party lias not yet
been captured, although diligent
efforts have been made to appre
hend the burglar.
A Correct Verdict.
A Florida paper says that a
Georgia coroner’s jury delivered
the following verdict on the death
of a merchant who died suddenly
after having failed in business:
“We, the jury, find from the
doctor’s statement that the de
ceased came to lub death from
heart failure, super-induced by
business failure, which was caused
by failure to advertise, which was
the result of failure to see far
enough ahead.”
Advertising is tin* life of busi
ness, as many successful business
men of Barnesville w"?l 1 testify, and
hence the verdict was correct.

Notice to the Farmers—Me
have assumed charge of the Granite
Warehouse and are now ready to weigh
and handle your cotton to the very
best advantage'. We feel as though we
can handle your cotton as well as any
warehousemen in Middle Georgia. If
any warehousemen can show you where
they can get more money for your cot
ton than we can, we are ready to make
! the difference good out of our pocket.
We are in this business for the farmers
interest, not to buy cotton and make
iit to our interest. A trial will prove
this. Mr. C. E. Sappington will be our
salesman and will be glad to have his
friends call on him. Mr. Brooks, rep
resenting Inman ,* Cos., of Augusta,
will he here Friday and will make our
warehouse headquarters. He says he
is going to buy the cotton —all lie
wants is a fair show down.

A REMARKABLE RECORD.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has a
remarkable record. It has been in use
for over thirty years, during which
t'me many million bottles have been
sold and used. It lias long been the
standard and main reliance in the
treatment of croup in thousands of
homes, yet during all this time no case
has ever been reported to the manu
facturers in which it failed to effect a
cure. When given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse or even as soon as the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. It is pleasant to take,
many children like it. It contains no
opium or other harmful substance and
may be given as confident to a baby as
to an adult. For sale by

undiscovered Cuba.
After more than 400 years it ap
pears that Cuba has not yet been
entirely discovered. Much of it and
many of its treasures are yet un
known, according to the recent re
port made by Governor General
Wood.
He says that after the centuries
of Spanish occupancy there are
large portions of the island that
have never even been prospected and
practically remain undiscovered so
far as knowledge of what they con
tain goes.—New York Ilerald.
Finger Nails as Assets.
A Viennese jury has just put a
valuation on finger nails. An artist
named Franz Muller was the proud
possessor of a set much admired for
their beauty, which so excited the
jealousy of a rival that he man
aged to break one of them. Muller
promptly brought suit for damages,
and he has been awarded 1,000
crowns, the equivalent of S2OO in
our money.—San Francisco Chroni

When Senator Mason met Post
master General Payne the other day,
the latter said, ‘’Mr. Mason, I hear
you have a presidential boom.” ‘‘l

ator, "and if there's anything in it
1 shall know how to conduct my

declared for me, 1 know, and there
may be others.”—Argonaut.
A Great Awning.
By walking down Prospect street,
Cleveland, 0., one can enjoy the
shade of the longest awning in the
world, so far as is known. This
great awning is 15G feet long, is all
in one piece from end to end and the
iron frame on which it is stretched
is operated by a mechanism that
makes it possible for one man to
raise or lower the whole immense
stretch of canvas at once. *
Her Listless Way.
“Charlotte,” said the first, who
was of her sex and a friend, “strives

her horseless carriage and other
things.”
“Yes,” responded the other, who
was also feminine and an even
closer friend, “she even affects a
birthdayless age.” lndianapolis
