It is. proposed to 'cominem- onvhe the event by a. joint eelebra- .1km in which all the nations will be •‘iiiVt'f^d to participate.

Hoke Smith received 97,- 989 Votes, practically every one of his 98,000 of two years ago. Gov ernor Brown received this year only 93,784, 16,071 less than wore cast for him two years ago. So the Hoke Smith men now say that they know that he was beaten by illegal voters before, and the election figures sustain them their claims. FISH WARDEN WESTGOTT KODAK’S FISHERMEN Sunday Lawbreakers Treated Him Rudely, Not to Say Rough ly, and So He Planned On a Scheme to Fix ’Em. Savannah, Ga., Sept. 6.^-Fish Warden C. B. Westcott, eistwliile candidate for sheriff of Chatham •.county, declares that he has? in his possession photographs of a number of men in the" very act of fishing on Sunday and that he will exhibit them in court to punish several men who lie assents not only re lated his efforts to arrest them and poked him in the face with fishing poles until his ears were torn and bleeding and beat him until his hands were badly bruised in his ef forts to hold on to the painter of the fishermen’s boat. Hitherto Mr. Westcott has gone armed with it pistol in his Sunday, excursions but now he has taken to the camera and will shoot alleged violators of the law in another way. Mr. Westcott’s service in his office has oeen strenuous and several times there has been a pistol figuring in his method of discharging his du ties. j. s. mams ms ■isos m Baptist Women of Thomas Meet. Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 6.-The Woman’s Missionary Institute held at Coolidge today was largely at tended .by the ;j?embers of the var ious missionary socteties belonging to the Baptist church in the county. An interesting program was ren dered and some fine papers were read. Among those whose names were on the program are: Mrs. J. J. Parraraore of Boston, Mrs. T. A. White of Thomasville, Mrs. W. J.

The following figures show where Hoke Smith stands with the voters of Georgia. It proves that those who stood for him in his first race were still for him in his second and ibird race. There is no getting around the fact that if there has been any changed or floating vote it was among those who opposed Smith all along. See what the fig ures say:|Ts,I J In 1908 Mr, Smith’s vote was ‘57,940; in 1910, it was97,989. In 1 Mr; Brown’s vote was 109,- ; in 1910, it was 93,734. Two years ago Hoke Smith’s believed that he was defeat- llegal votes and they were, therefore, awfully sore over the re sult. Savannah’s Giant Bartender Passes Away Suddenly Savannah, Ga., Sept. 6.—Andrew Theland, once a bartender known to his friends as “Big Andrew,” who was found dying in his bed yester day morning and who expired a few hours after being discovered will be buried this afternoon. Andrew was probably the biggest man in Chat ham county. He weighed between 300 and 400 pounds and those who knew him best said he came came near reaching the latter figures than the former. Although there is no suspicion of foul play Andrew’s friends asked the acting coroner to make an in vestigation and he will do so. A cof fin will have to be made for the ac comodation of this huge dead man for none of those in the stock of undertakers will acomodate him.

I told you to name the school, ‘‘Brother Tom,” and I would’givo the facts to the people of Grady county. But you had a “severe'attack of cold feet on that proposition, and failed to “deliver the goods.” In your last article you seem to hold to the delusion that there is appropriated for every male teacher ip ileoEp'a $104.32 and claim that it is in the report of Stipe School Commissioner. Lchallenged you to produce evidence! to show it. That •is the average amount paid the white male teacher in the local tax systems as I showed in my last ar ticle. Your explanation of why you failed to make license is a “howl ing, screaming joke.” Who did you expect to believe that, “Broth- I'om?’’ I know the pores of your skin have always been open to the public’s good, but you should have given better evidence of that by doing your best on examination and administering the affairs of Providence school in a decent way. I do not censure you for pulling fodder (I have been there myself) but I do censure you for neglecting your school,to do so. You asked me to account for $400.00 of rily salary, saving that the county commissioner under the law can only receive $3.00 a day for the time actually engaged in work. I refer you to page 21 of the “Laws and Decisions Relating to the Common School System,” Section 6, in which it is said that the board is authorized to pay the commissioner $3.00 a day for .time actually employed in work. Now, “Brother Tom/’ I am supposed to be on duty three hundred and six ty-five days in a year, and accord ing to that the board of education would be authorized to pay me $1095.00 per year for my services, and still be within the limits of the law. By the way, I get. $425,00 less per year for supervision of Gra dy county schools than I did as principal of Cairo High School, which is-a very small part of Grady county. You say that Elpino district has 160 children.. That may be true, but only 118 were reported on the school record for this year. What were you handing out the people on that? “Brother Tom,” the facts, or did you wish to fool them? You say I declined a “jint spute” “Brother Tom.” Really do you think I'could afford to be engaged in a controversy with a man who does not seem to know the facts, and whose hide seems to be incapa ble of being punctured by them when they are given him from the records and the pages, etc., cited in proof hi them. Your record heretofore wou’d in dicate that you never know when you have enough, hut you show com’/bendable symptoms of im provement in wishing to quit this controversy. This is my last shot. Of course, I shall expect you to re ply, inasmuch as you have nothing left to stand on, you will have to cover your defeat by a multitude of words. Being unable to take care of Mrs. Brunson’s husband in,a straightrforward argument you have New Orleans, Sect. 6.—In spite of a short crop year, the south ob tained more money for its cotton during the past season than ever before in its history, according to the season-end statictics put out to day by Col. Henry G. Hester, sec retary and statistican of the New Orleans Cotton exchange. The money value of the crop, not including cotton seed products, amounted to $778,S94,095, showing that while the quantity of cotton marketed was in round figures 3,- 215,000 bales less than last year, better prices for cotton resulted in its bringing $95,099,601 more. The nearest approach to this rec ord was made in the season of 1906- 07, when the total value of the commercial crop was $716,352,265. When the value of the cotton seed, $124,000,000 is added, the actual wealth producing capacity of the southern cotton lands is shown to have been $902,894,095 during the past season. During the previous season, that of 1908-09, the value of all cotton produced was $683,794,494, and the cotton seed was valued at $92- - 000,000, making a total of $775,- 794,494. Thus during the past season the value of the cotton and cotton seed combined surpassed the previous season by more than $125,- 000,000. about. In all kindness and with utmost good humor, (for. I have “ eble tk really enjoyed your feeble thrusts) I wish to' say that it is my honost opinion that the main trouble with you is that you are suffering from A" an over active imagination.

Frost May Come Early Some weather prophets are de claring that frost will come this year before the middle of October. They say that sixty days after the first fog in August there will be a frost. The first fog in August oc curred this year about the fifteenth of the month, so it is natural to suppose that there wjll be frost about the midle of October. Of course there are exceptions to all rules and it is possible that there will be no exceptions to this one, as the mid dle of October is rather early for frost in this section. Mrs. Burts. We learn from the city papers, as well as from people passing to and fro, that Mrs. Mamie H.
