COVINGTON', GA., JULY 2, 1913.
Have you been thinking about that
chamber of commerce?
The glorious Fourth will be in our
midst Friday. Let’s make it a sane
Fourth. 1
Get out the pepsin bottle! The
Glorious Fourth is to be celebrated
with several barbecues.
The cost of living goes steadily up.
But what of teachers salaries? They
are not even paid on time.
The legislature has not discussed
the "Dog Tax” yet; but it is 100 to
1 shot they will before they leave for
home.*
Several cotton blooms have reached
Covington and the farmers in nearly
every section of the county say that
crops are in fine condition.
It is reported that President Wil
ki n never indulges in a stronger ex¬
clamation than ”tut tut.” Wonder it
he ever* set type in Georgia?
The next thing we may expect in
the serum business will be something
taken from a frog and injected into a
traveling man to make him jump his
board bill easily.—Greensboro Herald
Journal.
Nolw that it is a settled fact that
C.ovingon will have day current, with
the proper inducements otherwise,
Covington should have several small
manufacturing plants located here be¬
fore the first of the year.
The News would like to have a reg
ular correspondent in every com¬
munity in the county. We have sev¬
eral good correspondents and want
more. These letters are interesting
features of the paper each week.
Several of the towns over the state
are having good chautaquas this year
and quite a number of the towns
have ball teams. These are two
mighty good things to b’-'ng visitors
to a town through the summer
months.
The General Assembly appropriates
each year some several thousand dol¬
lars more than the states income. It
l.roks as if they might find time dur¬
ing ths sesson to make provision for
the school teachers of the state and
pay them as promptly uts they draw
their own checks.
Florida has appropr'ated $40,000 00
towards- forming a hoard of trade for
the southern states. Maryland has
chipped in with a like amount. It
Is more than probable that Georgia
will follow suit. The states of the
southeast are beginning to realize
that all they need is a little publicity
to turn the tide of immigraion to Can¬
ada towards the southern states.
Senator Foster of the twenty-sev¬
enth District has introduced a bill in
the senate which is attracting atten¬
tion of the press and especially the
Atlanta dailies. Something needs to
be done in regard to the convicts of
the state and also the bill requires
the inspection of all county jails The
latter would be a good bill within
itself.
A Georgia Legialature without Joe
Hill Hall, of Bibb county sitting in
it would be as out of place as a side
saddle on a hog. Leastwise this
seems to be what the members of
the present legislature think. As
soon as they get down to business a
resolution will be introduced, and the
wise ones concede, passed without op
position, to gvie the Bibb warhor.se
a permanent seat on the floor. A
special seat of honor will await him
whenever he chooses to visit the
session of law makers.
P. F. Callahan of the DeKalb New
Era believes that the state would do
a good piece of buisness if the leg¬
islature this year would make pro¬
vision for a printing plant to handle
all the satt’e printing. He figures
that the state spends $100,000 a year
for printing and that the house doing
the printing makes twenty per cent.
At this rate the twenty thousand
that the state spends for profits to the
man that does the printing in five
years time would take up a hundred
thousand dollar bond issue and the
state would own her plant.
BLUE AND GRAY..
There is no such thing as a divided
country now. We are all citizens of
the same old Union Such men as
Jce Wheeler, the dashing Confederate
leader, and Fitz Hugh Lee, proved
their love for the union by risking
their lives in the wai with Spain.
Such men as these pointed the way
to the people of the South toward a
country. Their example has
crystalized in the re-union that is to
be held at the battle-ground in Penn¬
sylvania, where Pickett’s charge be
a history.
Wearers of the biue and the gray
will meet on the same battle-field,
where they met half century ago.
Then they met with a dull hatred
gnawing in their breasts and a wild
devotion to ther country. Today they
meet with a devotion every whit as
strong, but with that animosity re
placed with a patriotism akin to love.
The people in the Southland have a
heritage that the,y are justly prouo
cf. Let us cherish the memories ol
ihese days when our loved ones fought
and suffered for a principle. The
time for dreams has gone. We are
facing a new era. The dreamer is
cot a patriotic Southerner. The doei
k- the man who s following the foot
steps of the heroes of the sixties.
We are all ciitzens of the Union now.
There is no South. There is no North
There is no East and there is no
West except in the geographies. We
are all working for a common good.

NOW A MODERN CITY
REMARKABLE . GROWTH . HA9
BEEN MADE BY KHARTUM.
—
In Fourteen Years It Has Risen From
Ruins to Have a population of
Sixty Thousand and Stately
Public Buildings.
-
Fourteen years ago the present
fapital of the Anglo-Egyptlan Sudan
was reduced by Lord Kitchener’s
army to a heap of uninhabited ruins.
Today Khartum Is one of the most
Important cities in Africa; with its
environs, It has over sixty thousand
Inhabitants.
A beautiful esplanade runs for
miles along the bank of the Nile, on
which are many handsome stone and
brick buildings surrounded by gar¬
dens and groves of palm trees. The
most Interesting of these are the
cathedral, consecrated last January,
the Gordon Memorial college, and the
governor’s palace.
There is direct railway and steam¬
ship connection with Europe, through
Cairo, a branch line to the Red Sea,
and another to El Obeid, capital of
the province of Kordofan. This will
probably soon connect with the
French railways, and so complete a
transcontinental route to the Atlan¬
tic. When the Cape to Carlo line is
completed, Khartum will be the prin¬
cipal railway center of the continent.
The value of its exports and im
ports increased in three years from
twelve million dollars to nearly
twenty-one million. It is the great
trade emporium and the educational
center of a country almost ten times
as large as Great Britain. In the
Gordon Memorial college students
are in training to become teachers in
vernacular schools, judges In district
courts, engineers or surveyors. There
Is an Industrial workshop, In which
smithwork and carpentry are taught.
The college also has research labora
ties, where economic products of the
country and its diseases are studied.
The principal CMise of this unexam¬
pled growth is the position of Khar¬
tum, at the junction of the two great
rivers that form the Egyptian Nile.
Ths Blue Nils rises in the moun¬
tains of Abyssinia, and is the sole
source of the floods that are the life
of Egypt. The White Nile takes its
rise from the great lakes of Central
Africa and the snows of the fabled
mountains of the Moon.
Under a dispensation of peace and
order the rich natural resources of the
country will be rapidly developed.
Much of the region la admirably
adapted to the raising of cotton.
There are very extensive forests, cap¬
able of supplying, among other things,
the very valuable product, rubber.
The vast swamps on the White Nile
are to be drained and made culti¬
vable. When all these things have
been accomplished, the new-born
Khartum will undoubtedly become
the leading city of Africa In wealth
and population, and in Industrial and
educational activities.
Port In the Ocean.
“When the harbor at Cape Lookout
off the North Carolina coast is com¬
pleted the means for which were pro¬
vided by the last session of congress,
Beaufort and that part of the Caro¬
lina coast will be the most Important
point on the South Atlantic coast,”
said E. J. Rogers, a railroad man of
Beaufort, at the Raleigh.
“The work has already begun, sur¬
veys now being under way. This
harbor when completed will give ves¬
sels a safe port practically lu the
ocean, Cape Lookout being about ten
miles from the mainland. It will un¬
questionably be the most available
harbor on the Atlantic coast.
Beaufort has a harbor that will ao
commodate vessels of any draught,
but the bar at the entrance to the
harbor keeps away ships drawing
more than twenty feet. Before the
war Beaufort harbor was the largest
port on the south Atlantic coast, but
It has done comparatively little since
the war.”—Washington Post.
Bible In Japanese.
When the bible was translated into
Japanese an equivalent to the word
“baptize” could not be found, and the
word “soak” had to be used instead.
So that Japanese biblical students
are acquainted with a person named
“John the Soaker,” and with a doo
trine of “Boaking for remission of
sins.” In that case the mistransla¬
tion la due to inadequacy of language.
It is oftener due to ignorance. A
schoolboy once rendered “Miserere
Domine!” into “Oh, heart-broken
schoolmaster!” And another recov¬
ered from German the text, “The spirit
Indeed is willing, but the flesh is
weak” in the form. “The ghost, of
course, is ready, but the meat Is
feeble.”
Needle In a Haystack.
A bottle of hay” was formerly
much used In Derbyshire. England,
and probably Is so still, to denote a
bundle of hay, which was taken from
a rick t0 fodd er cattle in a field. When
was difficult to find anything that
had been lost, the farmer folk were
wont to say: “You may as well hunt
for it as for a needle In a bottle of
hay.”
Sometimes the rope tied round the
hay na * had * a piece of w'ood with an eye
*~ In “ it at one end, " through "
which the
rope was passed to tie up the bundle,
and a Bharp point at the other end,
and this piece of wood taay have been
called a needle; if *o, a needle of this
kind may have been referred to la
