is THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE AT HIRAM, SAYS AGENT HEN
DERSON. COULDN'T KEEP CLEAN DEPOT ON ACCOUNT OF
LOAFERS WHO WHITTLED AND CHEWED TOBACCO.
About half the population of Hi
ram, Ga., a station of about 300 peo
ple on the Southern Railway between
ytlanta and Chattanoogg, were”at a
meeting of the Georgia railroad com
mission to give testimony on the com
plaint brought against J. W. Hender
<on, the railroad agent and telegraph
operator. The charges were well sift
ed, and many community rows typi
cal of the small town were investi
cated. No decision was rendered by
the board. .
Agent Henderson declared before
the board that the prohibition law
was the indirect cause of his
troubles, He said that he has op
posed hypoerisy on the part of his
patrons, and that when they wanted
permission to slip out of back doors
with jugs they had received from
(Chattanooga he had always refused.
He compelled them, he said, to use
the regular entrance and exits when
taking charge of their freight of in
toxicating nature. Tnis, went on the
agent, afforded the town opportuni
tv to learn who among its citizens
were shouting prohibition on inspira
tion purchased in Chattanooga. This
vl}e male varieties of the population
didn't like, and the agent claims to
have floundered in a sea of trouble
since that time. He said that no
pains were spared by the majority
of his patrons to make his life un
pleasant, and that if the commission
saw fit to have him fired he wouldn’t
care much anyway.
J. W. Moon, who brought the
charges—the same being the first of
thg kind ever brought before the
railroad commission—winced when
Agent Henderson pointed him out as

McCOLLUM’S STUDIO.
vate exit after getting a package of
liquid refreshment. He declared that
Moon had said he would get revenge,
and had begun at once to work up“
public sentiment with the object in‘
view of getting a more accommodat-i
ing agent. |
A half dozen affidavits were sub-‘
mitted and as many witnesses were
examined, and these in part or whol
ly corroborated the charges made
against Henderson to the effect that
he had refused to bulletin delayed
trains, had provided no heat or light
for waiting passengers, and had
treated patrons of the road at that
point with discourtesy.
Mr. Moon stated to the board that
he had never seen a delayed train
bulletined more than twice; that the
first fire he had ever seen in the
waiting room was there that morn
ing, and that at night the only light
passengers have in the waiting room
is the few small rays that penetrate
the window and doors leading from
the agent’s private office.
Mr. Henderson told about his rela
tions to the whisky traffic and his
views on hypocricy having started all
the trouble, and declared that he
treated the people of Hiram with all
the courtesy they deserved. Referr
ing to uncomfortable conditions in
the waiting room he said that to keep
fire and water there would mean that
the road would have to furnish such
accommodations to all the doafers in
the town. He said that it was im
possible to keep the room clean, be
cause of Hiram's ‘“‘army of the un
employed”’ who sit in there and whit
tle sticks and tell stories most of
the time. If it were always comfort
able and ice water were handy, he
said, there would be little room for
passengers there as a rule.
At the beginning of the hearing
Chairman McLendon announced that
the commission’s rule relative to bul
leting delayed trains and keeping
waiting rooms in comfortable state
was going to be enforced, even if it
took heavy fines on the railroad com
panies to do so.
SMELTER KING'S SON.
Earning 50 Cents a Day as a Laborer

The many millions of dollars of
Daniel Guggenheim of New York,
head of the smelter trust, are not
standing in the way of his son, Harry
Guggenheim, in learning the practi
cal side of the smelting business.
Young Guggenheim is. working
with a'gang of peon Mexicans shovel
ing ore in the bins of the big smelter
at Aguas Calientes, Mexico. He re
ceives the same wages as the Mexi
cans—one peso per day, which is
aquivalent to 50 cents in the money
of the United States. ‘
It is said that the young man is
to work his way up through the sev
eral departments of the smelter. Af
ter finishing with the manual and
mechanical sides of the business he
will enter the office and learn how
the books and records are kept.
The American Smelting & Refining
Company, which is usually called the
Smelter Trust, virtually controls the
silver, gold and copper smelting
business of the United States and
Mexico. It is said that young Gug
genheim is equipping himself so as
to be able to succeed his father
eventually at the head of the busi
ness. |
He is 19 years old and is®strong
and healthy. He went to the Mexi
can village in a private car and the‘
next day donned overalls. l

LOYE'S YOUNG DREAM,
In love? Of course the boy’s in
love. .W eren’'t you in love when you
were in your teens? asks Winifred
Black in the New York American.
The firstitime it was a teacher—re
member the big red apples you used
to bring and lay in her desk, and the
spring beauties in April and the li
lacs in June? Dear me, I never get
a \\.'mff, of lilacs to this day without
seeing before me the old school room,
with its worn floors and its dusty old
blackboard, and Him slipping in to
lay a great bunch of feathery, plumy,
fragrant, purple wild flowers on that
black-haired teacher’'s desk.
Him?
Oh, he was the boy I was in love
with myself, and he didn't know I‘
was alive. :
I was too young for him, much‘
too voung and too giggly and too
easy to make fricaas with, so he‘
chose the teacher, hateful, tall,‘
black-haired thing, with a beau of |
her own waiting for her at the well
corner every single afternoon. i
I was glad when I heard she was
going to be married, but I couldn’t
bear to look at Him when the news
first got out. 1 was afraid he would
commit suicide or something, but he
didn’t. .He fell in love with a little
vellow-haired German girl,” who
blushed if she met a cow and stam
mered if you asked her where the
lesson was.
Purple lilacs? No, it was snow
balls by that time, and clove pinks,
and I had to be content with the
sworn fealty of a boy with big hands
and freckles, whom I had known all
my life.
Oh, I tell you, sorrow comes early
to some hearts.
And then it was the boy with the
mysterious dark eyes and a fascinat
ing lisp, and then it was a red-haired
boy who was always fighting, and
then—and then—dear me, you can’t
count the list. |
Afterward it was the man of forty
or so; poor dear, he never even
guessed there was such a person as
me in unimportant existence.
e was the captain of a steamer
of the Great Lakes, and I used toi
sit in a trance and hear him say
“Starboard some,” Port a little,” tllli
all the summer night grew silver with
etars and the supper down in the
cabin grew cold and stale. |
“port a little; starboard some’'—
and on and on the ship sailed into
the purpling waters and the rosy
sunset, and my silly litt.e head swam
with dreams—and the captain was
middle aged and gray haired, and
probably wondered what on earth
‘was the matter with the little red
headed tyke of a girl in switchy pet
ticoats who couldn’t seem to stay
away from the wheelhouse.
And then it was an actor—an Eng
lishman, who said ‘““‘Me Lord” and
“By me faith, fair Catherine.” 1
used to tear the daily newspapers out
of the hands of infuriated and aghast
elders looking for the bare mention
of that English actor’s name, still no
body knew what in the world pos
sessed me.
And then it was the leader of a
certain little country German band.
Oh, those flaxen locks under the mili
tary cap! And ah, those brass but
tons! And then—and then—well,
then it wasn't funny any more.
A Denver teacher told me the oth
er day, with a brow fairly tied into
knots of anxiety, that the worst
thing she had te deal with was what
she called ‘‘puppy love.”
“Those children are SO dreadful,”
said the teacher. ‘‘You can't realize
it, but they fall in love before they
are out of the eighth grade.”
“Righth grade,” I echoed. ‘‘How d!
yvou hold them back so long?”
So they fall in love in spite of you,
dear teacher. Well, what of it?
They have the measles, too, don’t
they? The scarlet fever and the
mumps and the fraternt(‘y fad and the
sorority obsession. Why on earth do
you want to cheat them out of the
one sweet dream there is left for
them?
What's the color of her eyes, and
are her cheeks red or deliciously
pale? And, whisper, does she love
you for yourself alone or can it be?
-—perish the drak thought.
Bless her little young heart and
bless yours—the pair of you.
The man who said “There’s noth
ing half so sweet in life as love’s
young dream” didn’t tell the whole
truth: he ought to have added ex
cept love's mature reality; but he
told enough truth to make his phrase
immortal.
Dream away, boy, dream away;
some time you'll find out that older
heads than yours have been kept
sane by just such sweet dreaming.
BULLION FOUND IN ASHES.
Gold Bricks in Debris of a Burned
Saloon Owned by Bandits.
~ Two gold bricks carried to Omaha
trom Sidney, Neb., by Superintendent
Patterson of the Pacific Express Com
pany are believed to have been part
of the loot of $127,000 in Black Hills
bullion stolen from the Sidney office
in March, 1880.
The gold bricks were found in the
debris of a saloon which burned re
cently and which was owned at the
time of the robbery by Sheriff Mc-
Carthy, now dead, who was believed
to be the leader of the robber band,
although the Express Company was
unable to secure his indictment. His
brother was later hanged by vigi
lantes.
Superintendent Patterson is trying
to establish identification of the
metal. He says the bullion value is
indefinite, but he will have it as
sayed at once. The value of the
bricks is between $3,000 and $6,000.

At times when you don’t feel just
right, when you have a bad stomach
take something right away that will
assist digestion; not something that
will stimulate for a time, but some
thing that will positively do the very
work that the stomach performs un
der ordinary and normal conditions,
something that will make the food
digest. To do this ¥ou must take
a natural digestant like KODOL for
Dyspepsia. Kodol is a scientific
preparation of vegetable acids with
patural digestants and contains the
same juices found in a healthy
stomaeh. Each dose will digest more
than 3,000 grains of good food. It
is sure to afford prompt relief; it
digests what you eat and is pleasant
te take. Seld by Dawsen Drug Ce.

Announcement of Opening of the
Second Distri
Istrict,
Agricultural School
School Will Begin Feb. 19, 1908.
At a meeting of the trustees held in Tifton January 2 it was
decided to open the school February 19, and to admit only boys for
this term. At the beginning of the next term in September we ex
pect to be ready for the admission of girls also. Under existing cire
cumstances this arrangement was considered best for the remainder
of this term. Those who desire to enter the school should reach
Tifton not later than February 18, and if possible by the 17th.
They should write the principal, Prof. W. W. Driskell, Tifton,
Ga., what day they expect to reach Tifton, so he can meet, theih it
the depot and arrange for conveyances to take them to the schodal%\
Prospective students must bring with them $lO to pay for the
first month’'s board. This is payable in advance. KEach student
must also bring $5 with which to pay for his text books. These
will be kept at the school by Prof. L. O. Freeman and furnished
our pupils at state adopted prices.
For all profitable labor performed by the pupils of this school
they will be paid at the rate of ten cents an hour. For instance,
if a boy works 36 hours during the first month he is in school he
will receive a credit of $3.60, and therefore charged only $6.40 for
his second month’s board. Under this arrangement it is believed
that the cost of board will not, as a rule, exceed $6.00 or $6.50 per
month. Tuftion is free to all pupils residing in the Second Con
gressional District, but boys under 14 years of age cannot be ad
mitted. :
Two boys will be required to occupy one room in the dormi
tory, and they will be furnished free of charge with a gooc. iron bed
stead, springs, mattress, washbowl and pitcher, one table, two chairs
and a washstand and dresser, electric lights, stove and fuel. But
each pupil must provide himself with the following articles before he
leaves home: Sheets, two blankets, one quilt and one counterpane;
six towels and six cakes of toilet soap; one comb and hair brush
and one tooth brush. Also two pairs of overalls, or such coarse
work clothes as he may have on hand.
It is intended to make the surroundings at the school as pleas
ant, comfortable and home-like as possible. The buildings will be
provided with all modern conveniences, and the influences at the
school will be strictly -conducive to student life. Religious exer
cises will be conducted in the school auditorium from time to time
by pastors of different denominations, but all religious instruction
given will be entirely non-sectarian. : i
The principal and teachers of this school pledge themselves to
do everything in their power for the moral, mental gnd physical
development of those who attend it. Our constant aim shall be:
The complete education of heart,¥head and hand. In return we
shall expect from those under our charge whole-hearted respect and
obedience to all the rules and regulations of the school. No pupil
who for good reasons has been expelled from another sehool is
wanted here. Nor will' pupils of known bad habits or immoral
character be admitted under any circumstances. But those in
whom the purpose to do right is firmly fixed and whose aim and
ambition is to prepare themselves for lives of usefulness wiil find
the school and the faculty prepared to meet all their reasonable
expectations.
