SHAPED HIS POLICIES BV THE RIGHT In the Death of Pendleton South Lost a Great Newspaper Man. In the death of Charles R. Pendleton, editor of The Tele graph, of Macon, Ga., this sec tion lost a great newspaper man and truly patriotic citizen. In his editorial work and in whatever way he touched public affairs, Mr. Pendleton was no tably forceful and conscientious. His policies were shaped entirely by what he thought was right. With him, there was no deviation from this, no matter what might be the immediate results. He was so loyal to principles and so courageous and able in support and defense of them that he at tracted and held the esteem and admiration even of those whoop posed him most vigorously. Mr. Pendleton has passed from the sphere of human activity, but his life and his labors have left a lasting impression upon Southern newspaper standards and the public institution of the section he loved and served so well.—lndustrial Index. Os Course. Holding up a globe before a bright little boy in school, the teacher asked what country is op posite us on the globe, says the Chicago Journal. “I don’t know, ma’am,” was the reply. ‘‘Well, now,” pursued the teacher, ‘‘if I were to bore a hole through the earth and you were to go in at this end, where would you come out?” ‘‘Out of the hole,” replied the pupil, with an air of triumph. Cannibals Ate Him. San Francisco, Jan. 31.—Rev. H. A. Malley, a young congre gational missionary just back from the Antipodes, asserts that connibalism still exists in New Guinea. Babies and little chil dren are the principal victims, according to the missionary, who also brought details of the death of the German explorer, Werner. ‘‘The fact is startling, but true,” Rev. Mr. Malley said, ‘‘that nine-tenths of the prison ers held by the Brittish govern ment in New Guinea are confined either for murder or cannibalism. I learned of the fate of Werner from his partner Winzer, with whom I traveled when he came back to Papua. ‘‘Last August the two Ger mans set out for the interior in search of radium They were ac companied by guides and a larg er party of native carriers. Af ter they had gone some distance they quarreled and parted, Win zer returning to the coast and Werner continuing into the wil derness. ‘‘Some time later the guides returned with the tale that the party had been surprised by can nibals. The natives fled, but Werner was speared, clubbed to death and according to the guides, eaten. Later investigations dis closed the camp of the cannibals; nothing was found but the bones of the explorer.” Pythian Delegates To The “Golden Jubilee.” Milledgeville, Ga., Jan. 29. — Mayor Miller S. Bell, of this city, who is Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Georgia, has named delegates from the state at large to attend the Gold en Jubilee of the order to be held in Washington, Feb. 19, next. Mr. Bell will attend the jubilee and respond to a toast on “Geor gia.” The delegates named by Chan cellor Bell are: Rev. Troy Beatty, Athens; Hon. B. D. Brantley, Blackshear; Hon. Thomas D. Ridley, Dalton; Hon. William H. Branon, Talbotton; Hon. Frank M. Summerkamp, Columbus. To Show Hog Raisers How to Fight Cholera. Farmers and those interested in hog raising will be given an opportunity today and Wednes day to see practical demonstra tions of the inoculation of serum in hogs having cholera. The demonstrations will be made by Dr. Peter H. Behrson, state vet erinarian, who arrived last night from Atlanta. With W. G. Middlebrooks, county agricultural agent, Dr. Behrsen will go to the farm of 11. A. Newberry, near Lizella, today for the first demonstration. Later he will visit other farmers in the county, where hogs are raised, and besides making the actual demonstrations, will give advice and suggestions to the farmers. Dr. Behrsen will appear before the Georgia Chamber of Com merce, probably Friday, to ex plain his work and outline to them how the state body can co operate with the state veterinary department. The work of Dr. Behrsen is in line with the campaign to get new members for the Bibb coun ty pig club. County Agricultu ral Agent Middlebrooks has al ready secured a number of mem bers and hopes to secure many as a result of the campaign for more pigs and less cholera. —Macon Telegraph. A Curious Disease. The Jamaican negroes have many bad and interesting forms of speech, which are often due to a misunderstanding of the English words. That was the case in a story that Winifred L. James tells in “The Mulberry Tree.” A woman took her baby to a doctor, and the physician asked her what ailed the little sufferer. “Him ill, sah,” she explained, in her soft, musical voice. “Him ill, sah; him blowing bones.” Inquiry brought only repetition: “Him ill, sah; him blowing bones.” For several moments the puz zled doctor contemplated the dim inutive black creature and its strange disease; then the solution flashed upon him. Blowing sounds not unlike growing. What bones could a child of two be growing? He was cutting his teeth. Let The Good Work Continue. A Mitchell county farmer liv ing near Baconton has seen the light, and is raising beef cattle for the market. A few days since he drove thirty head of fat tened Hereford beeves into Al bany and sold them to a market man there for between SI,OOO and $l,lOO, or about $35 a head. The price was way above that usually paid for scrub cattle; the beeves were fattened on less than it usually takes to fatten a scrub and besides were heavier than a scrub would have been after he was fattened. They were not stallfed, but had grazed on velvet beans and field peas. This progressive farmer estimates that the additional fertility to his land from the legume crops and the valuable fertilizer placed there by the animals will be worth enough to pay him for their feed.—Tifton Gazette. Polite, But Pointed. A stern old preacher had is sued to his people a command against dancing, believing it to be a device of the devil, says the National Monthly. A few of the young people dis obeyed and attended a dance giv en at a neighboring town. Fi nally it reached the ears of the preacher, and, meeting one of the culprits on the street one morning, said in a stern voice: “Good morning, child of the devil.” “Good morning, father” smoil ingly replied the pretty miss.
