IN WHITE HOUSE NEGRO WILL
"LOOK ILIKE WHITE MAN TO HIM.
¥He Told Negro Baptists That When
He Is Elected Their Color Would
Not Count Against Them.
The real activities of the campaign
have begun for William H. Taft, re
publican presidential candidate.
Three political addresses were the
demands made upon him during his
last day in Cincinnati before start
ing on his western trip.
One of Mr. Taft’'s addresses was
10 the national convention of the ne
gro Baptists. His expression of sym
pathy for the struggles of the negro
race elicit®d warm applause from the
Baptist preachers, who met the can
didate at the Sinton Hotel, and his.
words to the convention were warm
1y received.
“V\f}en 1 get into the white house
—assuming I am to be put there—
-00 plea of a negro will have any less |
consideration becauseA he is a negro
rather than a white man,” said Mr.
Taft to the negroes. ‘\
An Analysis of Bryan. |
In another speech, after reviewing
the record of the republican party
as one of action and future relia
bility, he depicted his idea of the
democratic policy of ‘‘promise’”’ and
then devoted himself to an analysis
of Mr. Bryan. |
It was. the first time Mr. Taft had
paid his respects to his opponent in
an extended manner, and what he
vaid was listgned to with great inter
est.. The Bryan feature of My.
Taft’s speech came as the conclusion
of a 10,000-word address in which
the accomplishments and purposes of |
the republican party were contrasted!
with what the speaker termed the|
democratic record of opposition andl
promise.
“Turning now to fhe other pic-i
ture,” said Mr. Taft, ‘“what is it that
we have to expect from Mr. Bryan?
Have we anything to expect but what
he promises? Have we anything to
expect but what is based upon his |
eloquence and his adroitness as a{
public critic? Has he ever given any !
political demonstration of his ability;
to meet problems and solve them?
Has he ever done anything but for—!

votes by thelr plausibility and very
little with a view of their opera

" FORECASTS COLD_ WINTER.
The Goose Bone Prophet Says It Is
2 to Be Severe,
! Already there are evidences to the
i goose bone prophet that the coming
‘winter is to be severe. Just how
| Severe cannot be foretold, but there
!al'e indications, he says, that last
‘winter will be remembered as ex
iceedingly mild when we go against
|the real thing next January.
i In the first place, the goose bone
;pmphet says that the leaves are fall
ing too early. It is not time=for
‘the leaves to leave the trees for a
fortnight, but already many lawns
are beginning to bear evidence of the
approach of fall.
.~ Then, too, the past summer has
been unusually wet and cold. That
forecasts a cold winter, says the old
timer.
It is noticed that chickens moulted
earlier this year than ordinariiy, and
poultry men say they are more
heavily feathered than usual. Close
observers say that squirrels are bury
ing nuts deeper than usual. That's
the way it goes—signs of " ‘cold
weather are plentiful this fall.
COULDN'T CALL HIM RANSY
Legislator McMichael, Ropresontat‘ive{
of Book Concern, Took Ot War
rant for Criminal Libel. |
As the result of cards in Whichi
he denominated E. H. McMichael of
lMarion county, representative in the
legislature and agent for a book pub
|!ishing house, the ‘“Ransy Sniffles of
the book business,” P. E. Duffey of
;Cla.\'ton county has been arrested on
;a charge of criminal libel preferred
ih,v McMichael and held under $5OO
|bond for trial.
| Mr. McMichael, who has been a
;member of the legislature for sev
eral terms, declares that he has never
tattempted to conceal the character
tof his employment from his constit
!uents. Mr. Duffey is a farmer living
near Jonesboro.
The incident is an outgrowth of
the contest among the book men
over the new adoption of school
}books for the Georgia schools, which
[is to be made by the state school
i book commission within the/next few
ldays‘ The cards were written as the
iresult of the governor's veto of a
i bill passed at the regular session to
lextend the present school book con
tracts for a period of two years. The
date for the action of the committee
{has not vet been fixed.
Some years ago, when the board
of education of Terrell county had
up. the matter of adopting text
books, Mr. McMichael was in Daw
son and urged the claims of a book
publishing house. So warm did the
contest become over the books of
the various publishing concerns that
a fist fight resulted between the pres
ident of the board of education and
the then county school commissioner.

LETTER TO B. G. BEAVERS,
| Dawson, Ga.
| Dear Sir: Mrs S C Ashe’s house
:in Yorkville, S C, was painted Devoe
‘2l yvears ago and hadn’t been painted
since; it is a handsome house and
‘the paint was in good condition when
| we were there three years ago.
Do we therefore say that Devoe
wears 21 years in South Carolina?
No; on the sandy coast, where the
sun is hot and the flying sand cuts
the bark off ttees, Devoe is the only
paint that wears more than one year.
Localities differ; Devoe doesn’t
differ. It is the paint that takes least
gallons te cover a job and makes
least cost and wears longer; how
long depends orr sun wind sand ete.
Yours truly F W DEVOE & CO

'WIDOW OF 70; YOUTH OF 26|
‘NEW YORK CHARITY “’ORKERI
INSURANCE BROKER'S BRIDE. !
A Wealthy Old Woman and a Kid!
Have Hooked Up, and Will De
cide Later Whether Mar
riage Is a Failure.
A Johnstown, N..Y., dispatch says: ]
!Mrs. Anna G. Ross de Peyster of
lNew York, 70 years old and already'
twice a widow, was married at her!
!country home here Monday to Ernest
Bolton, a 26-year-old insurance
!broker, also of New York. The mar-‘
riage is something of a surprise to |
}Mrs. de Peyster’s friends, both on ac-}
count of the youth of the bridegroom
’and Mrs. de Peyster's advanced agé.%
The ceremony took place at Sun-'
nyside, Mrs. de Peyster's summer |
place. The interior of the house wasl
profusely decorated with flowersj
lwhich came from Mrs. de Peyster's‘
own greenhouses. Only a few!
friends of the couple were present |
at the ceremony. After the wedding?
a luncheon was served, ;'
Mr. and Mrs. Bolton, it is under- |
stood, will remain in Johnstown un—f
til October, when they will return|
to Mrs. de Peyster’s apartment in |
Euclid Hall, New York. |
Mrs. de Peyster’s maiden nanlo§
was Anna G. Campbell. She was the |
widow of Mr. Ross when she married |
the late Col. Beckham de Peyster. |
By the terms of her first husband's |
will she receives an income of $lO,- |
000 a year in trust. : |
’ Parishioners =of St. Tlgnatius’
church, of which Mrs. de Peyster
and Mr. Bolton are both members,
were surprised to learn ‘that the
‘marriage of the 70-year-old widow
and the young insurance elerk one
third her age had taken place. It
was said that Mr. and Mrs. Bolton
were frequently seen together in the
latter’s pew-at St. Ignatius’ and else
where. An engagement between the
two has frequently been the subject
of gossip, but as far as could be
learned last night one had never
been formally announced.
A few nights ago Edward Bolton,
the young bridegroom’s father, was
asked whether the engagement ex
isted. He replied: “There’s nothing
to it.” He refused last night to dis
cuss his son’s action. At the Euclid
apartments, where Mrs. Ross de Pey
ster-Bolton lives when in the city,
it was said that Col. Beekman de
Peyster died six years ago.
Mrs. Bolton is a prominent phi
lanthropist and church worker. She
is a member of the State Board of
Charities, having been appointed in
1905, and for many years did mis
sionary work in the Tombs Prison.

TO SMOOTH OUT KINKS.
Central Railroad Has Engineers at
Work in This Section.
Working above Americus an en
gineering corps is making prelimina
ry surveys along® the route of the
Central Railway to the end of re
ducing heavy grades and eliminat
ing curves, seemingly needless, and
which, when completed, will greatly
facilitate the operation of trains.
Engineer Brown, in charge of this
important work, made a beginning
at Albany and has progressed to a
point above Americus. Just north of
this city, for instance, the Central
makes a reverse curve almost equal
to the celebrated ‘“Barnesville bend.”
It is on a steep grade, and heavy
trains get over it only with great
difficulty. The elimination of these
needless ‘“kinks” will result in a
shortened mileage and better time in
making schedules. This division
pays the Central system as hand
somely as any operated, and it will
be the policy of the company to im
prove its physical condition upon the
lines indicated.—Americus Times-
Recorder.

Probably Same Burglars Who Visited
Several Terrell County Towns.
It had been thought that the gang
of burglars who has been working
south Georgia had quit this part of

on Metcalfe, in Thomas ecounty, a few
nights ago, entering the depot, post
office and nearly every business place
in the town.
At the postoffice they took $2O;
at the depot they came across a jug
of whiskey which they appropriated,
