GOVERNOR SLATON
PROUD OF GEORGIA
Praises West and Its People
But Glad To Be Back
In Georgia.
Governor John M. Slaton has
returned from the Governors’
Convention in Colorado Springs,
and in an interview with the At
lanta correspondent of the Ma
con Telegraph says:
“I saw a wonderful country,
with a great and hospitable peo
ple, I was royally entertained
and enjoyed everv minute of my
stay, but I returned more in love
with my own state, Georgia, than
ever, if that is possible.”
*‘l feel that I cannot say too
much about the hospitality of the
people of Denver, Colorado
Springs and Governor Ammons
in particular. Everybody seemed
anxious to give us a good time
and show us that true hospitality
was as strong there as anywhere
else in the world. Governor
Ammons was courtesy and at
tention itself, and lie exerted
himself to entertain the Govern
ors and others. It is a ti ip 1
shall long remember, and I feel
that great good results from
bringing the chief executives to
gether to exchange ideas and
bring the entire country together
in a closer bond of sympathy.
‘‘This is one place political
lines and affiliations are forgot
ten and it doesn’t matter in the
least whether you are a demo
crat or republican. The ex
change of ideas and discussions
are certainly very helpful. I
want to say this much. We have
heard a good deal here about the
progressive ideas of the north
west states in particular. But 1
found we have right here in
Georgia some of the best and
sanest of the reforms they are
just now waking up to. For in
stance, convicts on the roads,
tax revision laws and other
things.
‘‘l went over to Cheyenne for
a day as the guest of Governor
Carey, and enjoyed it immensely.
We rode out 23 miles to his ranch
in an auto, and then I mounted a
broncho and rode about to see
the cattle. Next day I wasn’t
so supple and my bones ached
from the unusual exercise of rid
ing a rather frisky pony.
‘‘As we passed through Kansas
I noted that the corn was burned
up. They made a good wheat
crop but the long drouth ruined
the corn. I tell you, it is mighty
fine to be back in old Georgia.
No better state is to be found in
the union, and the more I see of
the rest of the world, the better
I am satisfied with being a Geor
gia cracker.”
Train Passed Endways.
In a Tennessee backwoods
lived a farmer who, although he
had never seen a railroad, yet
had his opinion of them and the
mischief which he understood
they might cause. According to
his notion, a train was as much
to be dreaded as a cyclone itself.
Great, then, was his consterna
tion upon learning that a right
of way for a railroad was wanted
through his farm. He swore ‘ ‘by
hickory” that no money could
buy it. Finally land enough for
the purpose was condemned and
the road built. The day the first
train was to pass, the neighbors,
knowing of the old fellow’s op
position, persuaded him, never
theless, to go with them to see
it. As the train disappeared,
some one said: ‘‘You see, Bill, it
didn’t hurt anything, after all.”
Bill was surprised, but hated to
abandon his contention that a
train would ruin things. ‘‘Wal,
yaas,” he said, ‘‘l reckon that
ye might say so, but ye see the
gosh-durned thing come through
here endways. Es it hed come
sideways, it would a busted the
daylights outerr of every cow in
the place.”

Thirteen-Year-Old Boy
Stole An Automobile.
Atlanta, Sept. 8. —Homer Wil
son, a 13-year-old boy in the em
ploy of a local garage, was ar
rested today for stealing an au
tomobile and committed by the in
dustrial court to the state refor
matory near milledgeville. He
took the automobile of G. A.
Howell, standing in front of the
Candler building, and started otf,
intending, he says, to go to New'
York. He got only a few' miles
outside of the city w r hen the gas
olene gave out and, being with
out money, he was compelled to
go home as best he could. He'
was arrested by a policeman im
mediately upon his arrival and
taken at once to the industrial
court, where sentence w r as pass- j

Attend The Fairs.
It will not be long now before
the county fairs are in full swing, j
so don’t fail to make your plans
for attending and also for mak
ing an exhibit. Everyone who
attends these fairs can, if he will,
get some good out of them, but
the man who makes an exhibit of
something that he has grown and
is proud of, is the man who is go- j
ing to get the most out of them. :
We know of a man who is now j
considered an authority upon the :
subject of hog breeding and who |
has probably the best herd of j
hogs in this state, who practi- |
cally learned how to do it at a :
fair. He thought he had world
beaters when he made his first 1
exhibit, and was thunderstruck :
when the judges passed him by :
and did not give him a single :
avard. He didn’t get mad and :
mope, however, but commenced :
asking why, and in seeking the <
answer to that question learned |
so much about hog breeding and j
good hogs that ever since he has |
been considered one of the most '
dangerous competitors in the j
show rings of the State and those i
adjoining. That’s what making :
his first exhibit did for him, and :
what it will do for you if you will i
go about it-in the right spirit.— :

Cannot Be Indicted
As An Accessory.
Atlanta, Sept. B.—Owing to a
question as to what charge he :
will be indicted upon, the case of I
the negro, Jim Conley, who was j
the state’s star witness in the i
trial of L. M. Frank for the mur- :
der of Mary Phagan, did not I
come before the grand jury to- i
day, as was anticipated. Conley ;
was to have been indicted as an i
accessory after the fact, which :
is a felony, but inasmuch as the
law defines this felony as harbor
ing and concealing the perpetra- 1
tor of the crime, a charge which
cannot be laid to Conley as to
Frank, it is now doubtful wheth
er he can be indicted as an ac
cessory. The indications are that
only a misdemeanor can be made
against him, that of concealing
information regarding a crime.
The case will be taken up next
week, after this point has been
decided.

‘‘The court has taken your case
into consideration, Mr. Slithers,”
said the judge, at Slithers’ trial
for violating the motor ordinance
at Crackett’s Corners, according
to Harper’s Weekly, ‘‘and, in
viev of what ye’ve said, an’ with
some tiewth, about the badness
of our roads hereabouts in your
own sworn testimony, I’ve de
cided not to fine ye SSO, as the
law permit.”
‘‘That’s very square of you,
Judge,” said Slithers.
‘‘We try to be square, Mr. i
Slithers,” said the Judge; ‘‘and, I
instead of the SSO fine, we’re i
goin’ to sentence ye to work on i
them roads for ten days, in the j
hope that your sooperior wisdom i
as a road expert will make ’em i
i
cornsid’rably better.” 1 j
