By doing all of these things his patrons may think him a pretty good fellow good enough to catch by the scrulf and the slack of the pants and pitch into the scrap-pile, if a wander ing typo should come along with a shirt-tail full of type, and an army press and propose to give them a paper hot from the gun These are a few of the joys that make his gladsome mug beam. Knowing that the foregoing para graph is the truth, unadorned with scollops and frills, that excellent moulder of public opinion, the Atlanta Georgian, which on various occasions has used both its pitchfork and muck rake to clean out the Augean stables, devoted much of its valuable space to reproducing the views of its hebdome- dal exchanges. This disposition on the part of The Georgian to recognize the efforts of the country press has a ten dency to engender good feeling be tween them. The Georgian is popular here because it wears no man’s collar. It smites all evil-doers alike -from General Manager Scott, of the Georgia railroad, to the meanest and lowliest infractor of the law. Robt. Rozar, of Atlanta, is visiting his mother at the A. it M. College. Miss Ruby Bailey, a student at La- Grange Female College, is at home for the summer. Miss Beall made a fine standing in her studies, and her many friends congratulate her upon the dis tinction she has won. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. McClellan have Mr. and Mrs. W. S. McClellan as their guests this week. -The many friends of Miss Annie Lou Redwine welcome her return from Forsyth, where she has been attending school. Miss Mary Lipscomb, of Whites- burg, is visiting her cousin, Miss Lu- cile Shell. Mr. Jonathan Brodnax, of Walton county, is visiting his nephew, Mr. E. B. Brodnax. Hon. J. Thos. Bradley and wife were guests of Newnan friends Sun day. Judge Adamson our wideawake M. l\, has learned from many salutary lessons that the "furthest way around is sometimes the nearest way through.’’ Since the Government will have its ti tle range at Waco, and have the khaki contingent to shoot the ribs out of its everlasting hills, the Judge has deter mined to urge Uncle Sam to build an automobile course from Ft. McPherson to the Waco ritle range via Carrollton. Alter spending a week with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. H. R. Robinson, Mrs. J. R. Sewell, returned to Atlanta Friday. Mr. A. 0. Williams, of the Gains- boro Telephone Co., will spend the summer with relatitves in Tennessee. Mr. Tropsy Travis, the perfect plumber who for a few fleeting months has been making good plumbing con nections at Covington, came to Caroll- ton the other day to meet and greet his excellent consort and children. — Dr. J. E. Cramer, the finest tooth carpenter in this neck of the scrubby and impenetrable and the boss farmer of the foot hills adjacent to Oak Moun tain, visited Waco this week. 1 regret to note that he found his father-in-law, Dr. D. F. Knott, prostrated from a stroke of paralysis. Waiies Aycock, who drives a quill ind plays on a typewritng machine at she Mandeviile Mills, has returned from Florida. He sighs like a blast furnace for the Floridian fleshpots and the smiles of the sorrel-haired damsels who presides over the Florida frog ponds. ■ Mrs. Mol lie Ward is attending com mencement exercises at Oxford, where her son, Charles, graduates thia week, taking the A. B. degree. — Mrs. Neal Moses, who has been se riously ill for some weeks, is much im proved. and the trained nurse attend ing her has been dismissed. We regret to announce that Col. L. D. McPherson and family will quit Carroll in the near future for a home in Knoxville. Mr. Hotsey Thorntc-. cu>- ropular superintendent of streets, pulled on his seven-league hoots and stepped over to Newnan Sunday afternoon. He took water—when nothing else was offered him. He is what you call a prohibition ist alright! Aside from his hankering for water, he’s the finest street man what ever! The Fourth District Agricultural and Mechanical College is perhaps the most succesful of all the district agri cultural school. The institute nas just closed a splendid session, the enroll ment of pupils being upwards of 200. Prof. J. H. Melson, the president, de serves much credit for the success at tained. The recent closing exercises were largely attended. The following members of the board of trustees were present: G. P. Munro, T. H. Persons, G. L. Thomasson, T. M. Zellars, J. A. Murrah, and we might add L. C. Man deviile, w'ho is considered ex-officio a member by reason of his active identi fication with the school from its incep tion. The familiar face of that excel lent counselor, Hon. G. Gunby Jordan was regretfully missed by the board and the people. * * * The exhibits of both the girls and the boys were much admired by the visitors. In the boys’ exhibit was a beautiful set of oak mission furniture. The work was done in the new machine shop, which has been named tho Aycock building by the trustees. The girls’ exhibit showed a bewildering array of lingerie that the profane eye of man should not be per mitted to look upon--delieate handi work which his ignorant brain could not classify by name, or designate their use. Oh, for the pen of a female society editor just for a minute, that I might portray those little mounds of fluffy lace, linen and blue ribbon ! * * * The industrial programme consisted of very interesting exercises. The stage was heavily festooned with boxwood. In the background, in a setting of wheat and oat sheaves, hung a life-size portrait of Hon. Jos. M. Terrell. Numerous line specimens of corn were arranged on tables for the use of the youthful demonstrators. Upon the whole, the stage presented an ideal agricultural school display. * * * The following programme was admirably rendered, to-wit; Music by Mrs. Ad ams; Talk on Fertilizers, John W. Veal; “Cotton and its Products,” O. H. Meadows; Whole wheat bread dem onstration by Miss Florence Purgason ; “Culture of Corn,” B. O. Bishop; "Packing a Lunch Basket,” Miss Mary Spence; Fertilizer demonstration by Alvan E. Harper; “Health in the Home,” Annabel Yates. * * * The trustees were highly gratified at the showing made by the school. Hon. G. P. Munro declared the work accom plished by the school had the saving grace of permanency, and would serve as a beacon to the agricultural classes. He said: “It is a grand work, and de serves the hearty support of the peo ple." That excellent business man, Mr. T. M. Zellars, who has been excep tionally active in behalf of the school, said: “Every farmer in the district should have been here to see what the school is doing towards the dissemina tion of scientific agricultural knowl edge. If they could know what these school boys and girls are being taught they’d double the yield of their crops the first year.” Col. T. H. Persons was most favorably impressed with wnat he saw and heard, and was espe cially delighted with the wheat and oats prospect. He said: “If our farmers could see the wheat, (which will yield 25 or 30 bushels to the acre,) the oat crop, (that promises a yield of 50 bush els per acre,) they’d send their chil dren here to learn how it is done. Our Talbot county lands are as fertile as these, and a knowledge of the A. & M. methods of cultivation would give us as good yields.” Hon. G. L. Thomasson was well pleased with everything per taining to the school, and has given it his hearty support. He was greatly impressed with the road work that is being done by the convicts. A nice ma cadamized road run by the school, which furnishes a fine speedway for au tos and other vehicles. This piece of work elicited much praise from himself as well as the other trustees. Hon. J. A. Murrah, the Carroll trustee, as well as Hon. L. U. Mandeviile, showed the visiting members every courtesy, even allowing them to drink out of their spring that runs from under the hill out of a poplar root. This courtesy is allowed to no one except bigwigs con nected with the school. —The Sage of CarolIton gives this salutary advice ; “If you want to have a good time, take it with you.” —Our community was greatly shock ed by the death of Dr. F. Cole last week. He became suddenly ill with heart trouble, and his death was unex pected. —Mrs. T. B. Slade and her charming daughter, Miss Janet gave an elegant entertainment in honor of the Caroll- tun public school teachers Monday af- | terr.oon. The guests were Misses Eva j Thomasson, Olive Kingsberry, Ethel J Walthall, Ethel Carroll, Angie Moses, ' Helen Brown, Pearl Campbell, Maggie Rodgers, Allie Beall, and Mesdames Buford Boykin, Mamie McDonald. Mol- lie Ward, Prof, and Mrs. H. B. Adams. —ft has been many moons since I had a more pleasant seance than that held with Rev. H. S. Rees, of Turin, who was the guest of Col. and Mrs. R. W. Adamson Friday and Saturday. Bro. Rees has found the open door to my heart, and will always receive a welcome. -This is the kind of stuff that spoils embryonic bishops: “The South was wrong in the course it pursued at the beginning of the Civil War.” Yes, Reverend Jimmie Lee might have worn a cardinal’s red hat if he had sense and patriotism enough to tell the truth about the “Lost Cause.” The Carroll county veterans passed some warm res olutions at their last meeting condemn ing his unwarranted utterances. Jim mie has torn himself with the South, and cooked his goose for a fatter church job. —Mr. K. J. Gailhreath was the cyno sure of Greenville society Monday. —Roy Mandeviile has opened a gar age in the building formerly occupied by the Crown Bottling Works. He will soon have a half-dozen new machines in shop, besides all kinds of aauto sup plies. He will occupy this stand until the new brick edifice intended for this purpose is completed. Did you ever see the like! Charlie Tanner has a new $1,500 “automobil,” — (you know those yankee folks call them that, and that makes it right, of course.) L. C. Mandeviile has two new ones, setting him back something like a couple of M’s. Billy Perdue has a big $1,000 dust disturber new from the factory. Jim Cheney, Silas Coalson and W. S. Carnpbeil each have a ma chine as good as new. 3fl The Cost of Education. Albany (N. Y.) Herald. One of the greatest of all American industries is the business of educating the boys and the girls. The conduct of this business costs as much as $320,- 000,000 a year. It takes $240,000,000 to pay the teachers and $80,000,000 each year to provide the buildings. Over one-fifth of the entire population of the United States is enrolled in the schools. The number of teachers employed in the common schools in the school year ended June, 1008, was 457,000. Of these, 370,000 were women. The aver age school year is now much longer than in former times, being 150 days. When we consider the volume of books, of stationery, of school supplies for all this army of 19,000,000 school children, we are impresed with the enormous economical and commercial importance of the school system. In a speech to normal school students in Georgia recently. President Taft said : “There is no higher profession in which self-sacrifice is manifested more clearly and in which more good can be done than that of the teacher, and I hope you will continue it through life.” Much of the so-called friendship of the day is but pretense. It exists only in name, and as soon as it ceases to be advantageous, it is dropped. The friendship that continues in prosperi ty and adversity is to be prized, but all other kinds are worthless. It matters not how hard a man may struggle to do right and make a success of life, there is always some loathsome rep tile, some worthies wretch, who is ready to drag him down, to blight his hopes and blast his fondest ambitions. The loss of money and property is not the greatest loss a man sustains in the business world ; far better to lose your money, than to lose hope and ambition.
