There are many Indians, Indians of all sorts, witli the 101 Ranch Wild We3t Show, which will visit this city for two performances on Wednesday, Oct. 14, afternoon and night. All of them are the pui'e-blooded peo ple of the wild old days. Sioux, Crows, Osages, Sac and Foxes. Apaches, Chey ennes, Comanches, Poncas, Pawnees, Cherokees, Choctaws and Navajos are represented in the camp of skin lodges which is daily pitched on the show- grounds. Visitors are welcomed to the encampment, and many converse free ly with the red men through interpre ters. They will find the Indians much interested and amused as they, themselves. Despite the advantages of civiliza tion, the protection of the Government and the benefits of peace, many of these Indian nations will soon exist only in memory. Swiftly the grim fer ryman is beckoning the red man across the dark river to the councils of his forefathers. The handful of Poncas with the show, for instance, include nearly all the survivors of this once powerful and populous tribe. They are lean, sinewy and tough, and literally the fittest of their race. The older In dians take keen delight in recounting the days when they followed the buffa lo herds from place to place, leading them into traps or forcing their horses Just....

Then no rations came gratuitously to them from the Government agent and they depended on the abundant fish and game which swarmed in the rivers or on the uplands, and which yielded an easy subsistence. Many famous chieftains are enrolled among the hundred Indians the Bros, have gathered trom many reser vations. With them come wrinkled squaws, young belles of the wigwam, gay braves, and papooses swinging un complainingly on their mothers’ backs. The war dances performed are those which the Government has for years tried unsuccessfully to discourage and check. The children are prohibited by the Federal authorities from watching the fantastic, savage evolutions, in which the old Indians feign war, pre tending to attack and scalp their ene mies, and entering into the spirit of the stage-battle as though it were grimly real. In spite of the Government and in spite of education, it will be observed that the Indians cling to old customs ;and old traditions. The men remain strangers to work, and refuse to be in troduced. They insist upon the wife performing all labor, whether there he one wife or three. The squaws carry the baggage, build the fires, erect the tepees and saddle the horses.

That’s the Sunny South. And the speaker? Ah. who could the speaker be hut that distinguished son of that Sunny South, that silver-tongued orator from Dixie, that Ajax of Atlanta, that Demos thenes of Demopolis, Col. John Temple Graves? Favorite son of a favored sec tion. none ho well as he can phrase the delights of the land of his nativity. There are other orators in the South. Dixie teems with them. It goes with the blood, the birth. In the North, when a man cannot do anything else, he thinks he can write. In the South, when he can do nothing else, he knows he can talk. Oratory a lost art? If it ever was lost the South found it. But. even so, there are orators, and at the apex, the peak, standing in sublime and solitary splendor on a pedestal of golden, glistening, glittering language, is Col. John Temple Graves, who distils common speech into the quintessence of poetry, who pronounces a “Good morning” with such measured cadence that the trite and trivial words fall like liquid music on enraptured ears, for whom the garden of rhetoric holds its fairest flowers, whose feet wander on the primrose paths of poesy, and whose head is over far amid the stars—John Temple Graves, the hottest little ta male when it comes to handing out the spoken word we have in our vast and somewhat conversational midst. Communicated. A Great Public Highway From West Point to Atlanta. Editors Herald and Advertiser: 1 ask space in your valuable columns to make a suggestion on the road ques tion: There has not been a time in years when there was so much interest in the public mind on this question as we see to-day. This interest lias been intensified by late legislation regarding the convicts of the Stnte, and this seems to afford an opportunity for the public to enjoy good roads that they never had before. My suggestion is to the citizens of Troup. Coweta and Campbell. Under the law two or more counties may act in concert in working their own convicts, and also have the right to hire from other counties that do not work their own convicts. Under this phase of the law my suggestion is that these three counties above named unite and together work their convicts on a great thoroughfare from the Alabama line at West Point to Atlanta, the State capital. Let this road be built passing each county-site and the popu lous towns along the Atlanta and West Point railroad. In making this sugges tion I recognize that Campbell county is small and comparatively poor, and could not of itself build such a road as 1 suggest. Coweta and Troup counties are both large and rich, and doubtless would be glad to have such a road as I suggest leading to the State capital; but this direct road could not be built except by co-operation, as l suggest, and would have to pass through Camp bell to reach the capital in u direct line. There would be nbout 15 miles of this road in Campbell county, approxi mately 30 miles in Cowetu, and nbout the same in Troup. This road could be built broad enough to uccommoduto u trolley lino, and each county would re serve the right to sell a right-of-way for such a line, which they could sell for cash or stock in the company, as thov might deem best. Such a road, leading through the various towns of each county along the West Point road, I apprehend would lie the policy of the road commissioners of each county, if acting independently, to build their roads through the most populous dis tricts first, if they were working only their county roads; but the ndvnntage of uniting as I suggest gives us one continuous road to the State capital. Such a road would be an object lesson to the citizens of each of these coun ties, and after it was properly built and cherted would be a great stimu lus to public sentiment on this impor tant question of roads. I have taken this means of publish ing my suggest ions because prompt ac tion will have to be taken, as various counties are acting now and making their compacts and arrangements, and to get our full advantage we should be among the first to be ready to use these convicts. I trust that these sugges tions will lead to provoked public dis cussion by the citizens of these coun ties, and if it meets with favor ar rangements can be made to have a con vention of delegates from the counties interested and discuss and arrange the plans and conditions to perfect an or ganization. Doubtless the papers of our counties will be glad to publish views and assist in bringing about a full discussion, if those interested feel that there is mer it in it. Hal L. Johnston. Palmetto, Ga.. Oct. 1. 1908. Dr. Willis Jones Succeeds Dr. William P. Nicolson. Atlanta ConHlitution, 30th ult. Dr. Willis Jones was this week ap- pointed attending surgeon to Grady Hospital, Atlanta—a distinction that is much coveted and greatly esteemed by the members of the medical profession of that city. Dr. Jones is an old Cow eta boy, and his rapid rise in the pro fession of surgery is a source of pride and pleasure to his numerous friends here. Referring to his appointment to the position named the Atlanta Consti tution of Wednesday says: “Dr. Willis Jones, at the meeting of the medical hoard of the Grady Hos pital yesterday afternoon, was elected attending surgeon to Grady Hospital. to succeed Dr. William Perrin Nicol son, who tendered his resignation, af ter eighteen years of continuous ser vice. “Dr. Jones is considered the coming surgeon of Atlanta. He was graduated at the University of Georgia in 1896, and at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York in 1901. He served three years witn distinction on the surgical staff of Bellevue Hospital, in New York. “Four and a half years ago he came to Atlanta to begin the practice of sur gery, and has been remarkably suc cessful in his chosen profession. Though yet a young man, he is con sidered a surgeon of unusual skill and ability. Dr. Jones is 33 years of age, and was born in Newnan. Ga. “Dr. Nicolson resigns after eighteen years of continuous service, and as he is considered one of the most skilled and successful surgeons in the South, the succession to his position as attend ing surgeon by Dr. Jones is a distinct honor.” Pineules fir Backache, little golden globules, easy and pleasant to take.

In a rural community in one of the .Middle States dwelt a man who made a vow in 1856 that he would wear his Miller hair and beard untrimmed until John C. Fremont should be elected President of the United States. Ho kept that vow for forty years, at the end of which time he had nearly a half bushel of hair on his head and face. Then coming to the conclusion, toward which his mind had been gradually working for a long time, that Geri. Fremont’s death in the interval had practically absolved hirn from his vow. he decided to have his hair cut and his beard shaved off clean. On his next visit to the county seat he went to a barber shop and was soon relieved of the hir sute burden he had carried for four de cades. “How much?” he asked. “Have to charge you half a dollar for that job.” said the harber, looking at the mass that lay on the floor. “Half a dollar!” he gasped. “Don’t i get anything for the hair?” Wood’s Liver Medicine is for the re lief of Malaria, Chills and Fever and all ailments resulting from deranged con dition of the Liver, Kidneys and Blad der.
