Covington, Ga., Nov., 17, 1905.
A want ot reform is sweeping
over the country
The big political bosses have
been severely jarred.
Trade at home and you will not
have occusio 1 to repet.t.
Hurvie Jordan is out in a letter
to the farmers advising them lo
hold tor 15 cents.
It is rumored in political circles
that Capt. R. E. Park will be op¬
posed for re-election next year.
The local business houses pur¬
chased the largest stock of fall and
winter goods ever brought to this
market.
The city municipal election is
beginning to warm up. There
will be several Johnies on the spot
before it is over.
The skating rink has been aban¬
doned. It ran si.< months and
nbout everyoue in town learned to
operate on a pair of skates.
Secretary Cheatham’s roast of
Secretary Willson of the agricul¬
tural department, was timely. The
old fellow needs a few raps.
New York has just had a horse
show and the press reports would
indicate that the handsomely
gowned women put the horses to
the bad.
Since the announcement of Hon.
Rufus Lester, that he would not
Le a candidate to succeed himself
i i Congress, a dozen or more can¬
didates are in the field.
Nothing succeeds like success
and nothing sells goods so last as a
good advertisement in the uewspa
por. The constant advertiser is
selling goods at the fireside long
after the store has closed.
Newton should have been repre¬
sented in some of the big agricul¬
tural display this year. Our farm¬
ers, there are none better and land
is rich and fertile. Maybe next
year.
It is now “officially” stated that
Clark will promulgate his platform
ou or about January 1st. If Hoke
don’t quit scareing the Peachtree
Dude we are afraid that weighty
declaration will be lo9t.
Can some one give us a list of
the Clark Howell Clubs? We note
that Hoke’s supporters are mer
chants bauker9 and farmers.
Clark’s would probably be some
thing like this, politicians and law
yers.
One of the most remarkable
bank statements that has been
made in the United States during
the year and one that has attracted
attention and admiration of a large
number ot the bankers in attend¬
ance upon the annual convention
of the national association, says
The Washington Post, is that made
by a woman—Mrs. V. F. Church,
cashier of the Bank of Joplin, of
Jopliu, Mo., who is one of the two
-women delegates to the meeting.
On a capital stock of only $5,000
the surplus fund of her bank is
shown to be $250,000; deposits
$476,579 31 inters st and ex
change, $5,31149.
i%n Irish Tr&winp
[Original.1
The Scotch lakes In the month of
June are very pleasant touring ground, i
In order to have plenty of time to en- j
joy this interesting region I decided to
spend the whole month of roses in a
walking trip in what is called the
sachfl. I ran across a young English
man named Marston, who was nnmsing
himself in much the same way as I,
and we agreed to tramp together. Mar
•ton was a thorough Briton and with
all a Briton’s respect for rank. He was
not noble himself, but professed to
know many of the nobility.
We were resting one day on the
banks of Loch Lomond when a typical
Irishmau tramped by. He wore cordu¬
roy breeches to the knee and woolen
■tockings, the conventional short cuddy
pipe in his mouth, and carried a bun¬
dle slung to the end of a stick over his
shoulder.
“Pat,” I called, “can you iet me have
a match?”
“Faith, I can that same,” he replied
and, turning, joined us.
“You're from the Emerald Isle?” I
said.
“How did you know that?” he asked.
“I guessed it. Where are you bound ?”
“Faith, since yer so good at guossin’
ye can guess that also!”
I laughed and asked him if he would
have a ulp from my flask, which he ac¬
cepted, jind we all proceeded on our
way together. Marston was evidently
not much pleased with the Irishman’s
company, but I found amusement in
his wit and would not let him leave
us. lie seemed to take a great fancy
to me, but regarded Marston much as
Marston regarded him. However, we
kept together for several days, during
which Marston warned me that the
fellow was preparing to "work” us In
some fashion and advised our getting
rid of him. Marston’s prophecy was. in
a measure, fulfilled by the Irishman,
when alone with me, asking for a loan
of £20, accompanying his request with
the following highly improbable story.
“I'm next to a baronetcy,” he said,
“my cousin being the present possess¬
or of the title. He is dying with con¬
sumption, and I'm not sure but he's
dead by this time. I’m out of funds
and tramping it. If I can get them I
can reuch homo much earlier, and it’s
important that 1 be there before my
cousin dies.”
I refrained from smiling at the story,
but said that if he could give me the
family name I would refer the matter
to Marston, who knew all about the
British aristocracy. If Marston knew
of the family and thought the matter
to he as represented 1 would cheer¬
fully make the loan.
This seemed to stagger him. He
thought the matter over, then said:
“Never mind. I’ll foot it.”
Marston left us soon after this re¬
quest, and before parting warned me
not to be gulled by the Irishman, in¬
forming me that personating connec¬
tions of the nobility was a common
confidence game in the country, and
most people knew enough of it to keep
from being fleeced.
Tat and I trudged on together. He
made no further move to obtain a loan,
but permitted me to pay sundry ex¬
penses. Indeed, I paid for all his
meals and his lodging where we stop¬
ped. I parted with him at Glasgow,
I going overland to Loudon, while he
said he was going to work his way on
some vessel to Dublin. He bad amus¬
ed me, and I thought I should pay him
for doing so. I handed him a five
pound note. He took the money, ask¬
ing me, of course, to whom he should
send it.- I told him not to bother about
a return, but gave him my address at
my bankers in London.
“Goodby, Fat,” I suid, “You’re too
witty to remain a tramp. Come to
America and go into some show busi¬
ness. You’d keep an audience laugh¬
ing a whole evening.”
“Goodby,” he replied. “You’ve been
very kind.” And with that he left me.
I remained in London for some time.
One day I received a note which read:
The Earl of Arrascragih presents his
compliments to Mr. Reginald Brewer and
would be pleased to have him spend a
week (Oct. 6 to 12) with him at Arrascragb
castle.
Not ever having heard of the Earl of
Arrascragb, I believed he had made
some mistake and wrote him a polite
note to that effect. By return mail I
received a reply stating that, mistake
or no mistake, the invitation held good,
and I was requested to send iny ac¬
ceptance. Not unwilling to see some¬
thing of foreign Irish life among the
highest class, I took advantage of the
situation, accepted and on the date
named went to Ireland. On driving up
to the castle a gentleman whom I took
to be his lordship hurried to the porte
cocbere and received me. As we stood
facing each other I put my hand up to
my eyes to make sure they were seeing
aright. In a gentleman's dress I saw
the Irish tramp I had befriended in
Scotland.
I never made an investment that
yielded so bountiful a return. Not for
a week, but for a month, I was feted
as 1 had never been before. I asked
the earl why he had told me that ho
was next in line to a baronetcy instead
of an earldom. He replied that he
made a mistake in mentioning any ti¬
tle »viuce it only made his story more
improbable. I did not question him
about his life previous to his cousin’s
death, and he did not refer to it. Evi¬
dently he had had a pretty hard time
of it. It was probably no different
from the fate of many British “youn¬
ger sons" who, the estate being en¬
tailed, are obliged to shift for them¬
selves.
When I left him he had the delicacy
to make no reference to the small sums
I had expended for and loaned him.
What 1 accepted from him would ha’’*
made its repayment objectionable.
