SEPTEMBER 7.1901 Well, maybe Howison is all right after all. Automobiles In Franco make 45 miles an hour. Why doesn’t South America up a war trust any how ? get Is Russia really whispering be hind the scenes, “Sic ’im Loubet!” The Augusta Chronicle is right up to the top mark of first-class journalism. The cotton crop for the season ending Sept. 1st, 3901, amounts to 10,383,000 bales. Sampson will learn to play golf as soon as he gets well. It has a caddy attachment which suits him to a tea. There areo-.hers; that’s only one. In the civil arena, see him among the foremost to build up Atlanta, the great capital of Georgia and first city of the South. In the Geor gia senate—the famous impeaching senate, that left Georgia’s political atmosphere so delightfully purified n«"» disinfectants have been neces sary since—Evan was among the leaders. Always large and prominent in all he undertook his voluntary re tirement has not quenched his light H9 one of the great big men of Geor gia. If he were to enter politics again we thinks hats would go in the air the moment he walked upon the stage. Is there any better gov ernor timber in Georgia than Evan P. Howell? We don’t think. They have really gotten up a cusus belli between Venezuela and Columbia. Venezuela seems to be taking care of the casus and Colum bia will look after the belli. The Montgomery Advertiser re fers to “the boast of heraldry, the pomp of pride.” Wonder what Mr Gray would say to that improve ment ‘l—Augusta Chronicle. “Thanks, old fellow, you saved my alliteration all right.” The last act of English atrocity is to concentrate a hundred thousand Boer people, women and children, on the sea shore iu South Africa. They take all non-combatant Boer sympathisers to this point. The number that will die from sickness and starvation is enough to excite the world’s pity. But as British atrocity in South Africa ha9 not yet disturbed the sympathy of civilized nations this will not likely have any such effect. MR. BRYAN. Mr. Bryan is undoubtedly a man of convictions, and practice what he preaches. He opposed the inaugu ration of a war with Spain, but ad vocated standing up to the flag and when it came buckled onlhis ’sword and went in as far as they would let him go. He ihinks Jabor has a right to speak out against trusts and the oppression of capital, and he goes Into the ranks with the la borers to lend his voice in crying out against them. Some people call him a demagog We do not think he is anything of the kind while we differ with him in persisting in advocating issue;- that even if true can not cow be carried out, in other words, dead is sues. Unquestionably he is an American, and speaks and acts too much like an earnest man to b‘> called a demagog. That is a favor ite epithet to hurl at a man who has convictions of his own and main tains them, Communicated. Editor Citizen:—It is a pleasure to noce that the oid time custom of having annual barbecues where friends and relatives gather togeth er in happy re-ucious, are return lng. You of the city, who have so many opportunities of social inter course, can hardly realize how rural people appreciate such occasions. It was my happy privilege a few days ago to be present at a delight ful barbecue and elegant dinner combined giyen by our geniai friend, Mr. R. E. Crockett at his hospitable home in the67th district. From 10 o’clock a. m, until the noon hour the guests, some of them from a long distance, were arriving with that easy familiarity, which char acterizes the true southerner, who feel sure of a warm welcome. The moments flew quickly and pleasantly by until the dinner hour where under a grand oid oak in the yard the table was spread groaning not only with ’cue and hash, but ev erything that the most fastidious epicure could desire, with ice lem onade in abundance. AmoDg the guests present were: Mibs Saphiomia Evans and her three neices, Miss Eula and Straw berry Crockett, of Hephzibah, and Mrs. Kimbrough, of Putnam coun ty; Mr. and Mrs. Jno. D Greiner, of Waynesboro; Mr. and Mrs, R. H. Greiner, of Greinerville; Dr. J. B. Hawes, of McBean, Miss Moliie Mc Cord, of Lincoln county; Mr. and Mrs. D. E Nisbet and others of the neighborhood, while Misses Lila Greiner and Mannie Nisbet who are spending sometime with Mrs. Crockett, aided our hostess in en tertaining. After dinner music and recita tions were in order. We were for tunate in having the talent present to furnish it. Misses Eula Crockett and Mannie Nisbet each favored us with a recitation and both were warmly applauded while the vocal solos and quartetta were In active demand and heartily eDjoyed by the company. So in this happy delightful way did the guests enjoy themselves un til old Father Time with his watch flog Sol warned us that the hour of separation was at hand and with many sigh- and regrets we winded our way homeward, Pardon me. I have tried to de scribe the events of the day, but my poor pen is inadequate to the task and I will close by saying that it was a day long to be remembered by the guests present for its warm hospitality anddelightful entertain ment. A Guest. Perkins, Correspondence Citizen. There’s a handsome young fellow, who lives in oiir town And his name isn’t Smith nor is it Brown. But there’s one thing sure, as sure cs can be, His name in the paper you’ll s o 1 see. And if I’m not. mistaken it wiii read like this ‘ Mr. —J has been married and is living in bliss His bride is as pretty as a rose in J nne”— An ‘‘at borne” to their friends they’ll be send ing now soon. Old fellow we’.e sure that you’ll feel very wise, As upon your own table you first cast your | eves; i “See! Love I've been cooking some nice ! things to-day,” | This sweet little angel will pretty soon say. ! We’re sure he Is gallant or else we’d adyise When the biscuit come in to ciose up his ej es. Lest someih'ng might happen to cause him to say My mother made biscuit that ne'er tasted this way. Now John if you are as wise as you !o k You never will mention that mother could cook. Or else you’Jl find, perhaps, with surprise That wives when they’re angry don’t always act wise. Old boy we wish you well anyway Experience will teach you more than wordfe cau. A long and happy life to yez both. Miss Annette Perkins and Dr. T. F. Bargeron visited in Augusta Tuesday. Mr. M.

Rodgers returned on last Saturday from a pleasant visit to her father, Mr. L. R Bruckner, of Augusta. Cotton seems to be somewhat backward this season, only a few bales having been marketed so far. Your correspondent has just re turned “weary and foot-sore” from an extended county trip, and wishes to say that in his humble opinion our people ought certainly to he proud of the magnificent public roads in this section. We find that they are as a rule nearly as good as ihe pig paths running parallel with them, and that by being exceeding ly careful one cau travel as fast in a buggy as he could on foot. We were forced upon a few occasions io abandon the roads and follow the “pig paths.” Our sympathy was aroused upon one occasion by a poor pig, who, in trying to give us room to pass aceideutaly fell Into the pub lie road and broke his back. Poor Pig Yes we are proud of our roads. Mr. Hull Perkins left Tuesday for Augusta, he has accepted a position with the J. B. White Co. Miss Eddye Perkins will leave Saturday for Smyrna where she will visit her friend, M’ss Terreli. She will go from there to Rome where she will resume her studies at Shorter College.

The boat was struck with such force that it was broken in on one side The com panions older Irian Frank, jumped to the hank, and Frank laid down until he was taken out by the other boys. Running to ’he house some half a mile distant, they procured a gun and went back to the boat and 'killed the monster. His ’gatorship remained around the boat all the time the boys had gone after the gun.

Our mail route from Waynesboro to Mobley will undergo a change on the 16th inst. Instead of two mail riders there will be three. One from Waynesboro to Telfairville; one from Telfairville to Girard; one from Girard to Mobley. The divis ion of the lower end of the route is brought about by an additional route from Girard to Hattievilie, S. C. It is believed if the route from Girard to Hattievilie is successfully established that the one from Gi rard to Telfairville will be discon tinued.

We understand now that the body of patrons is divided on two, and that a petition favoring each has been forwarded *0 the Board of Educa tion. The selection will be made at their first regular meeting in Octob er.

Frank Alims. Jr., will return in a few days from Ma rietta, where they have been visit ing Mis3 Mary Groves. Messrs. Wash Daniel, H. C. Hillis, Joe Bates and Ed.

For years I suffered from dyspepsia, at times causing me to stay iD bed and causing me untold agony. I am completely cured by Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
