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,

Blackshear; Hon. Thomas D.
Ridley, Dalton; Hon. William H.
Branon, Talbotton; Hon. Frank

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.

been such as to command your confidence
then I would he pleased to have the influence
