Rev. W. H. Cooper, pastor of the
First Methodist church of this city
is assisting in a big revival being hek
at Eatonton, and from what we can
learn the pastor of the Covington
church is giving the people of that
city some good doctrine and splendid
sermons.
He will be there on next Sunday
and at the morning service in the
church here Rev. James E. Dickey,
president of Emory College and one
of the most powerful preachers in
the INorth Georgia Conference, will
preach to the Covington people. Dr.
Dickey is too well known to the peo¬
ple of this section and the state or
us to say that he will give the people
a good sermon. He is a consecrated
man and his sermons are all good.
At the evening service Dr. W. F. Mel¬
ton of Emory College will fill the
pulpit. He is also one of the leading
ministers of the state and will give
the people another good sermon. The
people of the city, whether Metho¬
dists of of other denominations, are
cordially invited to attend these ser¬
vices.
The people of the city are glad
t v know that Rev. Mr. Cooper is do¬
ing such good work at Eatonton.
Covington Tiling Used. (
The sidewalks in front of the Fow¬

with Covington made tiling and the
work is being done by Mr. Chas. A.
Clark,who is hte manufacturer of this
kind of material here. He began the
manufacture of cement products some

good advertisement for him as it is
an unusually good job.
We are always glad to see Coving¬

COVINGTON, GEORGIA, APRIL 5, 1911.
NEW CONGRESSMAN
IN WASHINGTON.
NEW REPRESENTATIVE FROM
THE FIFTH DISTRICT IS IN
LINE FOR GOOD COMMIT¬
TEE PLACES.
Representative William Schley How
ard, of Decatur, congressman from
the Fifth district, left Thursday at
r.oon for Washington, to enter upon
his duties at the extraordinary ses
rion, which convenes on April 4. Mr.
Howard reached Washington Friday
morning, to confer with his colea¬
gues from Georgia and to participate
in the Democratic caucus Saturday
night.
The party caucus Saturday night
was to pass upon th ereeommenda
tions of the ways and means com¬
mittee with reference to committee
assignments, and determine definite
’y upon the general attitude of the
Democrats of the house relative to
tariff legislation at the extra session.
It is believed that Representative
Howard will be assigned to a place
•n the labor committee, and it is
possible that he may also land on the
committee on military affairs. The
committee on labor is one of the im¬
portant bodies of the house, and Mr.
Howard will be lucky, indeed, if he
gets a place on it. He will he doub¬
ly fortunate if, in addition to labor
lie should he also assigned to the
military committee. His presence in
Washington prior to the assembling
of the party caucus and the confer¬
ences with his Georgia colleagues
may be of value in helping him to
the military committee. At any rate,
he is trying hard, has nothing to lose
through his efforts and everything to
Favors Reciprocity.
Representative Howards views on
the tariff correspond to the princi¬
ples of the Democratic party, as en¬
unciated in national platforms for
many years. He believes only in a
tariff tor revenue, and thinks that
lumber, among other things should
be placed on the free list. He favors
I he ratification of thq Canadian re¬
agreement, a genuine revi¬
sion and reduction of the wool sched¬
ule and reduction in the duties on
the necessities of life. He believes the
Democratic party should expedite
legislation along these lines, and ad¬
until next December. It is his^
idea that a determined, business-like
expeditious consideration of these
measures at the extra session will
the people of the country renew¬
ed confidence in *he Democratic party
resulting in success at the polls in
1912.
One of the things to which the new
is going to direct his
attention is the advocacy of legisla¬
tion tor federal aid for the post roads
the country. He will also urge the
construction of a military road from
Atlanta to Chickamauga.
Wants W. & A. Rental.
“I am going to try to induce the
American congress to reimburse the
state of Georgia for the use of the
Western and Atlantic railroad from
May, 1865, to September of the same
year,” said Mr. Howard Wednesday
morning. “The federal government
js indebted to the state In the sum
$625,000 rental of this property
directly after the war and I am going
to make an effort to collect the debt.
Mr. Howard does not claim that he
is the father of the sceme to collect
this debt, nor does he assert that he
uncovered the matter. He admits
frankly that many years ago a bill
was introduced in congress to have
the state reimbursed by the govern¬
ment. The bill died in a committee
without hearing. Mr. Howard insists
that he will use his best efforts to
nave the matter fairly considered and
be guarantees that the matter will
not die in the committee without a
bearing.
Representative Howard was ac¬
companied to Washington by his sec¬
retary, William T. Gordon, a well
known and popular young Atlantian.

CITY COURT IN
SPECIAL SESSION.
NUMBER OF JAIL CASES TRIED
AND SEVERAL TIGERS CAME
UP FOR THEIR DOSES.
NEW SOLICITOR HERE.
The City Court of Covington con¬
vened last Friday in special session,
cHled by Judge Whaley at the in¬
stigation of Judge Roan of the Super¬
ior Court, to dispose of a number of
jail cases passed up from the regular
term of the latter court which held
its March term last week.
The majority of cases up tor adjust¬
ment at the special session were for
selling whiskey and other misdemea
m* offenders. Possibly the cases
attracting the most attention was
that of a blind negro from Almon,
who had violated the prohibition law
and Judge Whaley after telling him
about the offenders being punished,
gave him a fine of $150 or twelve
months in the state farm. The negro
used his affliction as a plea for
leniency, but Judge Whaley thought
that his act was wanton disregard for
the law and gave him a stiff fine.
Truly, this was a case of a ‘blind
tiger’ indeed.
Solicitor General C. S. Reid was
in attendance and assisted City Court
Solicitor Milner in the prosecution
of the cases. All the jail cases were
tiied and disposed of.
Railways Doing A Great Work.
The Railway World, in commenting
editorially on the work done b the
railways of the United States to aid
in the development of the territory
traversed by their lines, in referring
t.o this work in the South, says:
“In no. section of the country, more
than in the South, have these efforts
to awaken the people to a realization
of the great wealth which lies dor¬
mant through a lack of proper devel¬
opment, been more persistly carried
on. The prime mover in that section
ol' the country has been the South¬
ern Railway, and perhaps no single
man in the history of railway devel¬
opment has performed so effective
v/ork along that line as has the presi¬
dent of that great system. For years
Mr. Finley’s faith and enthusiasm in
the ability of the South to take advan
tage of its vast resources, has never
wavered. Through his untiring efforts
he has been responsible for no small
part of that enthusiasm and confi¬
dence which is now prevailing in that
section of the country and which
means so much for future develop¬
ment and prosperity.
“The enthusiasm with which nine
thousand delegates to the Southern
Commercial Congress, held recently
in Atlanta, and who represented every
important trade organization in the
Southern States, greeted every ex¬
pression of confidence in the South’s
future was a revelation to the big
men of business and State who, from
all sections of the country, went to
Atlanta to participate in the activi¬
ties of the Congress. While not pre¬
suming to trace the influence of this
movement unduly to the railroads of
the South, well informed men in that
section will not deny that the effec¬
tive educational work of the railroads
have proved no small factor in bring¬
ing about the present highly encour¬
aging conditions. If the alue of such
work was more fully recognized and
appreciated by the public, much of
the unreasoning antagonism of the
piesent day would be replaced by a
feeling of gratitude and an honest
desire to conserve those interests
which are constantly striving to in
ciease the development and prosperi¬
ty of the communities and localities
which they serve. Furthermore, the
fact that these activities are based
largely on business principles, does
not in the least detract from their
value, nor from the credit of those
whose intiative and unflagging energy
have made them great public bene¬
factors.”

Then, don’t you think that he should
have a docent place to play? Did
you ever realize that toe boys of

to play base-ball? Don’t you believe
that your boys have right equal to
those of the other boys in the state;
who live in towns the size of Cov¬

which to play real ball? Is it exact¬

going to play ball somewhere? Why
not hike enough interest in them,

to see that they have a decent place
