Thu ywung marooner has returned
from tlie restless waters of the Span
ish main. For it half-dozen months
his cruft plowed the wild waves of the
Caribbean sea. It is not meant to
convey the idea that he was with the
sea rovers all this time. During the
winter months he was chasing the gold-
maneuver by way of sparring for posi
tion is to knock the awning-posts down
and shatter a plate-glass window or
two. As usual, the set-to was about
the "root of all evil."
- Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Wilson had as
their Sunday guests Mr. and Mrs. A
I>. Mcl’herson, of Rremen.
-The spelling "bee’’ is getting in
his spring work, after the approved and
energetic manner of his namesake, the
"little busy.” Yes. he has inspired
the youngsters who are chasing knowl
edge around the house at the A. & M.
to chortle and warble this dulcet lay—
“Tra-Ia-la, tra-la-la-la.
How doth the ambitious been
Crawl up in into our nollara
And make ua do our level best
To win the Mandevllle dollars!”
These noble lines may to some appear
enigmatical—especially as to winning
the Mandeville dollars. Here’s where
the water hits the wheel: Some days
ago Hon. L C. Mandeville offered a
cash prize to the best speller in the
A. & M. School. Taking his cue from
this suggestion, I’rof. Melson pulled off
a spelling "bee" at the school Thursday
evening. As yet we've not learned the
particulars, hut you shall have them
later.
j —Education is a good thing. It comes
j pretty high ; still it’s a good thing. We
do not like to see it circumscribed in
its limits. Universal lumination of all
created brains, however, is not what
we want. It was once thought that the
1 Caucassian, Mongolian and kindred
J races were the only "it.” Some al-
I truistic people down East conceived
en fruit of the orange groves of Florida I erroneous idea that a nigger had
many thousands of which he packed S brains enough to cultivate. In further-
I'or the Southern and Eastern markets. 1 ance this hallucination they gave a
As a relaxation he went gunning on
Sundays for deer, alligators and the
crested quail of the Everglades. He
formed an alliance, offensive and de
fensive, with Hillio Howlegs, jr., the
Seminole chief of the Everglades.. As
a pledge of good faith that he would
return to his dusky ally he left his gun
and camp equipage. He is accompa
nied by Chief Bowlegs’ son, the re
doubtable Hole-in-the-Day. The fore
going will introduce you to Emanuel
Martin.
- Hon. 1’. P. Kingsbcrry has just re
turned from Bluff ton, Ala., where he
has been for a week or ten days for the
benefit of His health.
Mr. M. M. Bradley has
from Niw York, where
weeks purchasing new
house.
•Mrs. F. M. Camp has returned
from a visit to her mother at Hogans-
ville.
Mrs. A. W. Quillian, called some
days since to attend her daughter, who
lias been desperately ill at Winder, re
turned Monday, leaving the latter
somewhat improved.
It's a pity our farmers haven’t the
opportunity to see the thorough prepa
ration given an acre intended for a
truck garden. The amount of money
expended would make them open their
eyes. A truck gardener rented a couple
of acres near a large city at $600 a j
year. On this was expended $700 for
manure. In water-pipes, hot - bed
frames and glass hells for covering
plants, he invested $(),000 more.
This equipment enabled him to keep
the ground warm in winter and well
watered in spring and summer. This
represented a snug little country for
tune; hut the man made seven or eight
crops a year on the ground, from which
he sold a half-million pounds of vege
tables, which, in turn, netted him up
wards of $5,000 annually. Don’t stand
on the cost of preparation, so long as I
the expenditure is made with judg- j
niont. Small farms well tilled are the
ones on which most money is made. 1
Mr. and Mrs. II. O. Uovvorn have
returned from the Taft coronation cer
emonies and visits to the larger cities
North among them New York, Phila
delphia and Boston.
Mr. Fred Wilson, the mine-owner
and expert in auriferous and argentif
erous geological specimens, has been
spending some of his time and wealth
about town the past, few days. The
muchness of the rainfall has driven the
miners in his camp to the surface,
where they will remain until he can re
move some millions of gallons of water
that is soaking his shafts.
—Tho spring lights have opened.
There is nothing new in the way of
swatting the opposing party. The latest
'till IH
prince’s ransom a thousand times over
to educate the "black man and broth
er.’’ And our Southern lawmakers took
up the slogan • "Let us educate the
black man and brother,” until to-day
he naturally takes his books and buck
et to school just the same as people.
Does he learn? Yes; like the parrot.
Can lie reason? Yes; like a quadruped
a fox. He passes your house and lo
cates the chicken's boudoir. Next
morning like Mrs. Chicky-my-craney-
crow -when you wake up your chickens
are gone. Education does not elevate
him in the scale of morals. Whether
able to read or not, his superstitious in
stincts lead him to he devout—not in a
reverential sense, hut because he fears
the divine wrath. It is not the love of
lie spent two j God i ul f the f R(ir 0 f the Devil that
goods for his him a consistent hypocrite. His
metaphysical attributes, if he has any,
are of little consequence in this brief
effort to explain why education should
he diversified. There is the poor, un
tutored and much-neglected mule that
is sadly in need of education. So far
as the record shows, not one dollar has
ever been expended upon his education.
He is kept at home on the farm, and
plowed day in and day out, without
ever having a chance to make the ac
quaintance of a traction engine, a loco
motive or an automobile—except, now
and then, he is driven to town and has
i a hasty introduction to these ill-mnn-
1 ncred things that rush upon him. Na-
| live modesty, disgust or fear causes
him to frequently turn and llee. Un-
] der these circusmtances what does
the driver do? Does he light out
and strike “Maud” between the eyes
with the palm of his hand and tell
hei, ns he pats her jowls; "Don’t be
afraid, girly; it’s just one of them
dinged automobiles, that scares coun
try people and mules into spasms.
There now. baby, the son-of-a-gun is
' gone, and nobody hurt!” No; he does
! nothing of the kind. He forgets that
i “Maud” is just a poor untutored coun
j try mule, who looks upon an automo-
| bile, a traction engine, a wheelbarrow
1 and a locomotive as the only live and
moving devils in her known world—the
only agencies of evil made for her de
struction. In a towering passion the
driver begins to argue with Maudy by
running around to her head with his
reason-uwnkener in his hand, (a wagon-
standard,) and furiously tries to pestle
knowledge into her head by knocking
her long and symmetrical ears otf.
She’s a good dodger, and the irate
teamster busts his knuckles trying, to
enforce compulsory education. In this
case, which is the line of procedure
pursued by most teamsters whose
teams will not receive an introduction
from those rude vehicles instanter, we
see that such a teamster is not the
proper person to have a coy. shy coun
try mule in charge. One of two things

should be done, that the ends of justice
may be met -either the driver or the

the highway; or. to make such an oc

Hon. Murphy Candler, of. DeKalb, has
such a bill for introduction at the next
session of the Legislature. Should the
bill pass it will meet with general
commendation.

Miltedgeville Tuesday.
—Mr. R. J. Galbreath was in Rock-
mart Monday, looking after business
pertaining to the Gainsboro Telephone
Co.
—Mrs. H. R. Robinson is spending a
couple of weeks in Atlanta with her
daughter, Mrs. J. R. Sewell.
—After spending a couple of weeks
in Atlnata, Miss Italy Simonton re
turned home Saturday.
— Miss Daisy Harris returned Thurs
day from Piedmont, Ala.
—After a week’s visit to Newnan
friends Miss Kate Thornton returned
home Saturday.
—Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Mathews had
their daughter, Mrs. R. P. Thompson,
of Manchester, as their guest during
the past week.
-Rev. Robt. F. DeBelle, our visiting
Episcopal minister, preached Sunday to
a select few of the Lord’s anointed
ones.
—Miss Sallie Archer is spending a
week with homefolks at Franklin.
—Mrs. S. L. Clay, of Cedartown, ac
companied by her children, were the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Thomas-
son last week.
It’s the vogue nowadays to offer
premiums to induce trade. "Them as
knows how” make it a fetching
scheme. Bass-Coalson Co. are the last
commercial artists to appeal thus to
public cupidity. Last September they
offered five premiums. Customers
were given a ticket for each dollar’s
worth purchased. The proposition took
like wildfire. From that time until the
drawing of prizes on the 20th inst.
they had sold $35,000 of goods for cash.
The drawing, and the crowd in attend
ance, was the biggest commercial dem
onstration ever witnessed in Carrollton.
It was estimated that the throng num
bered 5,000. Every ticket drawing a
prize was represented by its owner on
the spot. This demonstrates that all
the successful merchants are not yet
out of business.
—The Tower of Babel was a big
thing in early post-deluvian days, hut
those fellows should have come to Car
rollton before undertaking to build a
ladder to the "pearly gates.” We’ve
got the builders and the plans.
Tho Legislature has undertaken to
throw certain safeguards around the
possum. Under the law he has the
right-of-way in the woods from the 1st
of March until the 1st of October. It
is the duty of gamekeepers to run a
hunter into the county jail who violates
the ’possum’s rights or person. What
the ’possum needs more than legisla
tion, for his preservation, is a broader
range. Congress should have a national
’possum park in each county where the
’possum finds the ’3immons and cli
mate agreeable. If the rascal was a
little broader between the eyes, and
would abandon some of his sneaking
ways, he might become domesticated
like the cat. Under the incubator sys
tem every poor famly could have
" ’possum and ’taters.” Anything,
though, for the augmentation of the
harvest.
—Mr. L. K. Smith, one of the Gains
boro Telephone Co. officials, spent Sat
urday in Cedartown.
—Mr. Hayne Sharpe, of Birmingham,
is visiting Carrollton friends.
—Mrs. W. L. Hitchcock and daugh
ter, Miss Belle, have gone to Atlanta,
where they will make their home.
Miss Buford, the charming young
Piedmontese, who had many friends
and admirers here, was married at
| Piedmont, Ala., Sunday. Misses Flor-
i ence and Daisy Harris were in attend-
I ance at the nuptials.
-Col. Sidney Holderness attended
Heard Superior Court last sveek. There
i is not a lawyer in the circuit who en
joys a more extensive practice than
does Col. Holderness.
—Col. Ueon Hood was in attendance
on Heard Superior Court the past
week.
A Harvard man tells the following
story ; Walking one afternoon down a
certain avenue he saw great volumes
of smoke and flames coming from the
second story of an attractive-looking
residence. Rushing madly up the steps
he rang the bell, which was answered
by a deaf woman.
"Good heavens! Your house is burn
ing up.”
"What?”
"I say the entire house is a mass of
flames.”
“Is that all?” she squeaked.
“I’m sorry, madam, but that’s about
all I can think of just this minute.”

JACK POWELL
Who is always at home, 32 Spring Street,
Has This to Say:
Before you buy a Wagon, Buggy, Carriage, Surrey, or anything
in the vehicle or harness line, give me chance at you. You will not be
asked to buy on reputation alone. Point by point, I will show you
wherein my well established lines excel. You do not want to buy a ve
hicle every season. You want to be sure of your investment. Then
come w’here "all coons don’t look alike.” Each vehicle here has a dis
tinctiveness and an individuality of its own, and is sold upon its own
merits. The "cheap Western johns” are sold as "cheap johns.”
The old, well-established and reliable Southern makes are sold on
their real worth, and they compel admiration—first, because they
look so good; and, second, because they wear so well and, last so
long. That’s the kind Jack Powell sells. He guarantees that there
are no better Buggies or Wagons in the whole world. They are
RIGHT in every detail. All lumber used in their manufacture is air
se isoned, and all iron and steel carefully Inspected and tested.
I have a rubber tiring machine, and rubber-tire my own buggies.
I use the Kelly Springfield tire—a tire that has no "past” to live down.
It is the most numerously demanded rubber tire because people re
member—not because they forget.
Come in and let me show you what a really good Buggy and Wag
on is. Each and every vehicle sold MUST BE AS REPRESENTED, or
your money will be refunded.

Down in Georgia the citizens of a
thriving town of about six thousand
people arranged for a chautauqua as
sembly last summer. They held the
meetings in a big tent about a mile
from the town, and the attendance was
large from the first dav. An enter
prising circus man heard of the large
crowds, and landed in the town on the
second day of the chautauqua with a
steam merry-go-round which he loca
ted about half-way between the town
and the chautauqua grounds.
Along in the afternoon a young man
from the country districts was accosted
by a citizen of the town.
“Well, Ezry, I suppose you are in to
the chautauqua.”
"I shore am. Jist come from thar
now.”
"How’d you like it?” asked
townsman.
"Fine ez a fiddle! I rode on the durn
thing nine ti mes !”
