More buildings is what Coving
ton needs.
The local mercha utile trade was
unusually heavy kist Saturday.
We are waiting for all the can¬
didates, for governor to announce.
Covington is the best town on
the Georgia railroad. Have you
told anyone about it?
Have you invited any one of
your frauds to become a citizen of
Covington—if not, why not?
It is rather disappointing not to
see a card or eft from Sidney C.
Tapp, campaign manager for —
Do you realize the wonderful
advantages offered to business men
•by Covington and Newton county.
The Enterprisd is a democratic
paper—it has been considered the

years.

If the southern planter will keep

price.
The press of the state extends
deepest sympathy to Pleas. A. Sto¬

We see from the Constitution
and Journal that two seperate

If all the idle mcney in Coving¬
ton could be utilized in the estab¬

plants, the population of the town
would soon double itself.
The number of case= of drunk¬

GOOD ROADS.
Mr. SSrownlow, of Tennessee, be¬
cause of the interest he has
shown in the public road question,
is one of the most useful members
of the present congress.
He is a man who sees and knows
the importance of go >d roa is in
his country. A bill drawn by him
is before tho house to encourage
road-building by paying a subsidy
for roads that will meet the re¬
quirements of governmental in¬
spection. We trust the bill will
become a law, and that it will re
suit in a» awakening of the public
On this very important question.
W,. believe with Mr. Br.-wnlow
that good roads will make life
easier, eocial relations better and
will be <• mducive to d-velone
mto t in every parti •ular
N* wton county has a reputation
for good roads, and this reputation
is supported by actual facts. Let
us keep in touch with the road
qu'stiou and if Mr. Brownlow’?
bill becomes a law, we may be able
to secure one of the first subsidies
for good roads.
EDUCATION.
The following is a concise and
just sentence on education from
i ( Taines English Literature,” edi¬
ted by John Fistce:.
( i Education draws out and dis¬
ciplines a man, fills him with
rational aud varied ideas, and pre¬
vents him from sinking iuto mono¬
mania, or being excited by trans¬
port, gives him determinite
thoughts instead excited faeries. > >
If all men could today entertain
rational ideas, instead of excentric
! fancies, the educational problem
would be solved. The masses of
American people, in the rush for
money, do not have this rational
view. They have not been discip
luted to have correct views of the
, U - ...
J" '"' *f. "'"fT 8J0 . “ d dr ° f . “ w " fe ou ' ‘ a man a “ d
-
15,11 him ‘‘rational and varied
ideas,” and not narrow him down
to some specialty of money-making.
This may uot suit the popular
conception as to what knowledge
or discipline one ought to have to
constitute an education, but after
the verdict of the best educators
have been written aud the histo¬
rians have had their saying on the
rise and fall of nations, it must be
, said specialties m any line of men¬
tal developement- are not the best
for the evolution of a nation.
\Ye believe that the’defect of our
education system throughout the
United States today is that the
teachers everywhere are trying to
work out the impossible task of
harmonizing the specialty ideas,
with general culture. According
to the popular notion a boy or girl
should uot have varied ideas or
conceptions, but should be trained
down to some particular mechani¬
cal work, which will enable him
to that aud nothing else.
Is this education? Is the educa¬
tional system of today to fix men
3tid women to till some particular
P art of a machine? The leading
educators see the mistake that is
made, and we trust at a near
future day, the mistake w’ll be
corrected.
The case of Mandv Mann vs the
State was argued before the Sup¬
reme Court on January lStb but
so far there has been no decision
handed down. The decision is
anxiously awaited by a large num¬
ber of our citizens owing to the
hard fight put up bv the defense
and the prominence of the attor¬
neys employed.
I T hos. A. Edison is the biggest
1 'k‘ r of all. Receutly, when show-
311 inquisitive visitor the
j osit.es of his shop, the visitor ab
faptly stopped and asked: ‘’What
in the world is this?” Mr. Edison
replied that it was a> inventim
which would respond to the crying
baby in tne crib, and the louder
the noise, the faster the rocking
o f the cradle. Mr. Edison is a
great inventor.

An "s=r,
The Scotch lakes In the month of
Jtme aro very pleasant touring: ground.
fu order to have plenty of time to al
joy this interesting region 1 decided it I
wschg. I ran arross a rounp English
train named Mars ton, who was amusing
himself In touch the same wny as l,
and we agreed to tramp together. Mar
ston was a thorough Briton and with
all a Briton’s respect for rats it. lie was
WAotV not noble himself, but professed to
many of the nobility.
We were resting one dry on the
banks of Loch Lomond when a typical
Irishman tramped by. He wore cordu¬
roy breeches to the knee and woolen
stockings, the conventional short cuddy
pipe in bis mouth, and carried a bun¬
dle slung to the end of a stick over his
shoulder.
‘'Pat,” I called, ‘‘can you let 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?” be asked.
“I guessed it, Where are yon bound ?’’
“Faith, since yer so good at guessin’
ye cam guess that also!”
I laughed and asked him if he would
have a nip from my flask, which be ac¬
cepted, and 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. He 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 roe 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,” be said,
“my cousin being the preseut 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 reach homo much earlier, and it's
important that I be there before ray
cousin dies.”
I refrained from smiling at tbe story,
but said that if he couJd 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 tbe matter
to be as represented I 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 warne/l.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.
Pat and I trudged on together. lie
made no further move to obtain a loan,
but permitted me to pay sundry ex¬
penses. Indeed, I paid for a!) ids
meals and his lodging where we stop¬
ped. 1 parted with him at Glasgow.
1 going overland to Loudon, while lie
said be was going to vrorjt 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 Sold him not to bother about
a return, but gave him my address at
my bankers in London.
“Goodby, Pat," I said. “You're too
witty to remain a tramp. < 'ome 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 Arrascragh presents his
compiimcnts to Mr. Reginald Brewer and
Would be pleased to have him spend a
week (Oct. 5 to 12) with him at Arrascragh
castle.
Not ever having heard of the Earl of
Arrascragh, I believed be had made
some mistake and wrote him a polite
note to that effect. By return mail 1
received a reply stating that, mistake
or no mistake, the invitation held good,
and I was requested to send my 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 bis lordship hurried to the porte
cochcre 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 I had never been before. I asked
the earl why he had told me that lie |
' next in line j
was to a baronetcy instead
: of an earldom. He replied that he j
made a mistake in mentioning any II-
1 tie since it only made bis story mere
i improbable. I did not qn«stlon. him •
about his life previous to bis cousin’s
death, ami be did not refer to it. Evi- |
