ing statement in regard to the

on the boys under their charge:

“Their only idea of sports outside

“Women inoculate habits of tale

form his character, but can do noth
ing without the boy’s aid. The
Problem that confronts the employ
ment of men teachers is the great
expense attached to it. They come
higher than the women.
“I would, therefore, advocate that
the majority of teachers for the high
er grades of the grammar schools
and the high schools be men.”
Some Things the Farmers’ Union Did
The National Farmers’ Union at
its annual meeting at Forth Worth
did a number of things which will
have an important bearing upon its
future. One of the last things it
did was to arrange, as far as possi
ble, for eliminating the middleman
in the handling of cotton. It will
take a long time, of course, for the
Union to get control of the market
ing of the cotton crop, but it has a
good chance of eventually succeeding
if it can get capable men to act as
its agents. That it will have little
or on trouble on that score goes
without saying. It is simply a mat
ter of salaries. If the Union is will
ing to pay the price it can get the
very best and most experienced men
to be had.
Another important thing it did is
this: It fixed the minimum prices
the members of the Union will accept
for cotton. It didn’'t make this price
public, and probably it acted wisely
in not doing so. It is a question,
however, if it. will be possible to
keep such a secret very long. In
the very nature of things so import
ant a piece of information is likely
to leak out. . The effort is to be
made, hgwever, to keep a knowledge
of the price from those who are in
terested in knowing it.
Still another important thing the
Union did was to re-elect Charles E.
Barrett of Union City, Ga., to the
WILL CUT DOWN PEACH TREES.
Sumter County Man Will Put Axe
to 235,000 of Them.
“I expect to cut my peach trees
down. Between the railroads, re
frigerator lines, the canneries and the
commission merchants there is noth
ing left for the grower.”
This was the statement of Mr.
Charles L. Ansley of Americus. Mr.
Ansley has 25,000 trees, five years
old, in fine bearing condition, but he
does not think it will be profitable
to continue to use the land in this
way. More fortunate than some
growers, Mr. Ansley has been able
to show a balance on the right side
of the ledger with his orchards the
past season, but he does not care to
take any further chances, and is
ready to close out his career as a
peach grower without further delay.
SENT DOCTOR'S BILL FOR $55,000
May Result in a Lawsuit With Adolph
Busch, the Millionaire Brewer.
A St. Louis dispatch says: A
trifling little difference of $30,000 in
a doctor’s bill for professional ser
vices may possibly result in a law
suit against Adolphus Busch, the
millionaire brewer. The widow and
the son-in-law of Dr. Robert Luede
king, in settling up the affairs of his
estate, discovered that the doctor had
not sent Mr. Busch a bill for several
vears prior to the former's death, so
they sent Mr. Busch a bill for $656,-
000. ,
Mr. Busch thought that a little
high, and offered $35,000 in settle
ment. This offer was dectined, and
the demand for the larger amount
was again made. Mr. Busch went
to Europe before the case was set
tled, and now those interested in
Dr. Luedeking's estate are wonder
ing if the bill will be paid before
they have to sue for it.

TIRED OF HAVING TENNESSEE
SEND ITS FUMES OVER HERE. 2
North Georgians Hold Meeting and
Condemn Attorney-Gen. Hart for
Not Asking for Imjunction.
At a mass meeting held at Blue
Ridge resolutions were adopted con
demning Attorney-General John C.
Hart for failure to ask the supreme
court of the United States for a final
injunction closing down the copper
plants at Ducktown, Tenn., on the
ground that the fumes from these
plants are ruining the country in
Fannin and the surrounding coun
ties.
The resolutions call on Gov. Smith
to send Chemist John M. McCandless
to that section to make investigation
as to what these fumes are doing.
The legislature recently refused ta
adopt resolutions instructing the at
torney-general to take such action,
and the resolutions charge the attor
ney-general with having brought in
fluences to bear to defeat these reso
lutions. As a matter of fact, Attor
ney-General Hart has, through the
litigation which he has conducted,
forced these copper companies to
spend more than $1,000,000 already
in putting in plants for the reduction
of these fumes into sulphuric acid,
as a result of which, it is stated, 400
tons of acid are now being made
daily.
The attorney-general states that
these companies are now working as
rapidly as they can with a view to
confining all these fumes and con
verting them into acid. It would not
only be an undue hardship on them
and their thousands of employes, he
states, but he does not think with
the showing they could make the
supreme court would for a moment
consider granting such injunction as
would require the suspension of these
plants.
office of president. He has proven
himself a capable administrator and
executive officer. During the time
he has been at the head of the Union
he has solved some difficult prob
lems for it, and has succeeded in
greatly increasing its numbers and
influence. He has met the questions
that have arisen with intelligence
and judgment, and what he has done
has met with very general satisfac
tion. The Union was wise to keep
so capable an official in the position
for which he has shown that he is
well fitted. T
In the last year the Union has
grown steadily, and it must be ad
mitted that it has accomplished fullx
as much as was expected of it. The
fact must not be overlooked that it
has had to grope its way, as it were.
It isn’t following a beaten path.
There have been other farmers’ or
ganizations, but no previous one un
dertook just the same things the
Farmers’ Union has undertaken.
Therefore the Union has to go slow,
to feel its way. 'that it has made
no serious mistakes and that it has
met with success in about every
thing it has essayed is much to its
credit. [lts effort to oust the mid
dleman will call for tact, strength
and knowledge and will be watched
by those engaged in the cotton busi
ness both in this country and Europe.
As already stated its ultimate suc
cess will depend upon the knowledge
and ability it is able to marshal in
the undertaking in which it is about
to engage.—Savannah News.
| THE AVERAGE MAN.
Who He Is, Where He Lives and
What He Does.
From the London Saturday Journal.
The average man is the greatest
force in the world. He elects gov
ernors, he brings up the next gener
ation. He {s responsible for the his
tory of his time, the destiny of his
nation. To be sure the average man
needs his leader, but it is he that
does the work of the world just as
the soldier does the fighting—under
directions.
Who is the average man? Where
does he live? What is he like?
It is a very interesting research.
You delve into tables of statistics,
you study the unflinching law of av
erages, you ransack official returns,
and add to your knowledge your own
observation—then you have an in
fallible guide to his cottage. And
when you see him you know him
right off.
He isn’t the least handsome, this
average man. He lives out in a cot
tage in a village or a small town,
and he doesn’t care two pins about
his dress. If he discovered a crease
in his trousers he would feel un
comfortable. His trousers bag at the
knees. He smokes half an ounce of
tobacco a day, which costs him two
pence, and in the course of a year
he quenches his thirst on various oc
casions with the aggregated aid of
nearly three barrels of beer (over
100 gallons), and two or three gal
lons of spirits.
