THE CHAUTAUQUA.
The sixtli annual session of theNew-
nan Chautauqua, which began Sunday
and will close to-morrow night with a
lecture by Senator Bob Taylor, has
been a season of unalloyed enjoyment
to our people. Every feature has been
good, the various numbers on the pro
gramme affording a variety of enter
tainment and a fulness of pleasure that
has left nothing to be desired. The
music, the lectures, the readings, the
impersonations all presented by the
best talent and the most popular enter
tainer- on the Southern chautauqua
circuit have proven instructive as
well as entertaining, and a source of
unfailing delight at each performance,
'('he attendance has been large, includ
ing many people from neighboring
towns, while the order maintained
throughout the week has been such
only as would be expected in a refined
community like ours.
The managers of the chautauqua de
serve the thanks of every citizen of
Newnan for the splendid entertainment
furnished, as well as for the pleasing
and intelligent manner in which the
daily exercises have been directed. All
promises made in the early announce
ments have been more than fulfilled;
indeed, if there has been disappoint
ment in any quarter, we have not
heard of it.
VVe must reserve for our next issue
a detailed account of the chautauqua,
which lark of time and space at this
late hour forbids.
THE SENATE MIN-UR ON THE
TARIFF.
While there is no doubt whatever that
the Republican members of the U. S.
Senate who arc! following the leader
ship of Senator Aldrich will muster
enough votes to put through a tariff
bill framed along lines demanded by
the Steel Trust, tin 1 Oil Trust, the
Meat Trust, the Leather Trust, and
other interests allied with these im
mense corporations, yet there are a
few recalcitrants on the Republican
aide of the chamber who refuse to be
whipped into line, and they are causing
the “stand-patters” much disgust and
annoyance. The Aldrich wing ex
pected attack from the Democratic
side, but when old-line, rock-ribbed
Republicans like Dolliver, MeCumber,
and Beveridge depart from the faith
and join with the Democrats in fighting
the bill reported from the sacred clois
ter of the Aldrich committee, they are
embarrassed to a degree that is amus
ing to an onlooker sufficiently familiar
with the situation to appreciate the
funny side of it. One of the hardest
knockers among the recalcitrants is
Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, who, al
though a lifelong Republican, bitterly
denounces the hypocritical ineasuie
that is being supported by the majori
ty wing of his party in the Senate, and
is outspoken in his opposition to the
bill. Speaking of the high protective
feature that runs like a scarlet thread
through nearly every schedule embod
ied in the Aldrich bill, and protective
tariffs in general, he delivered himself
the other day as follows
“As the result of my observations
upon the different tariffs of the world
(and I do not pretend to be wise or
deeply read about this matter), 1 find
that wherever there is a protective tar
iff it has built up a system of morality
of its own, and never found that its
rules of morals were in accord with any
other rub's of morals, religious or secu
lar. ever framed in this world. It Ims
built up a system of morality in this
country that not only is wicked, but it
allows to be done by authority of law
what the man who does it would never
do in his private capacity as a citizen.
It permits a man not only to covet his
neighbor’s goods, but to take them
away from him by force of law. When
we consider that we collected a little
over $300,000,000 last year, and the
people of this country pay in taxation
to these protected interests $2,100,000,-
000, I think it is about time we are
considering whether we are not taxing
the American people a little too far.”
This is about as well said as if the
speech had emanated from one of the
orators on the Democratic side, and af
fords much more relishable reading.
Governor - elect Brown having pro
posed a solution of the problem of rais
ing funds with which to pay the school
teachers of the State more promptly,
of course Gov. Smith felt it incum
bent to oppose the plan proposed
by Mr. Brown and to suggest a
better one. His plan is for the State
to borrow money with which to pay the
teachers instead of issuing bonds; but
inasmuch as a debt would be created in
either case, and as there is much doubt
bs to whether the Governor of Georgia
touJd borrow so large a sum as would
be required for the object named, with
no obvious advantage claimed for the
Smith plan, most people will likely
agree that the Brown plan is best cer
tainly more business-like. At any rate,
until “Little Joe” proposed it in his
speech at Elberton last Saturday, it
was the most practical and practicable
plan of righting the wrong complained
of that had ever been suggested by a
Governor of Georgia.
The Legislature will convene next
Wednesday, and Governor-elect Brown
will be inaugurated at noon on Satur
day following. Gov. Smith and family
vacated the executive mansion on
Tuesday last.
Senoia Notes.
Sonoia Enterprise-Gazette, 17th inst.
Miss Lucy Mann, an attractive young
lady of Newnan, was the guest of Mrs.
W. .1. Estes the first of the week.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church
are arranging for a high-class enter
tainment in the near future. VVith
these good ladies at the head it is
safe to say that it will be an enjoyable
occasion.
Dr. A. G. Voigt, Dean of the South
ern Lutheran Theological Seminary,
Charleston, S. C., will preach at the
Lutheran church at Haralson next Sun
day morning. Dr. Voigt is the fore
most theologian of his church, and a
forcible preacher.
The members of the Baptist church
in conference last Thursday night called
Rev. Chas. E. Hitt, their present able
pastor, for the full time during July,
August and September as a trial, and
if the church sees fit at the expiration
of that time they will make the call
for the full time indefinite. Many of
the leading members consider that it
will be better for the church to have
preaching every Sunday.
Mrs. John Fellows, who came down
from Sharpsburg Wednesday morning,
died about 5:30 o’clock yesterday af
ternoon at the home of Mr. Horace
Haines, where she had spent the day
most pleasantly. She was sitting in
her chair laughing and talking, appar
ently in the best of health, when her
head suddenly bowed and she was dead
in less than two minutes. She was 00
years of age, and highly esteemed by
all who knew her. The funeral will oc
cur this evening at Sharpsburg and
the body will be laid to rest in Smyrna
cemetery.
The pet dog of Harry Hardy, son of
Mr. R. L. Hardy, was killed this week,
supposed to be mad. Mr. Hardy took
the dog’s head to Atlanta, and special
ists pronounced it affected with hydro
phobia. The dog. however, had bitten
little Miss Lila Finley and Master Ar
thur Ware, and they have both been
carried to Atlanta for treatment at the
Pasteur Institute. It is not known
how many dogs have been bitten, so
there should be a wholesale slaughter
of the worthless curs, to make sure
that no one else is bitten.
Mr. John Clem Thurmond, a well-
known and highly esteemed citizen of
Senoia, died at the home of his son,
Mr. Harvey Thurmoiul, in this city,
last Thursday morning, from heart
failure. Mr. Thurmond was up town
only a short while before his death.
He complained of feeling badly and
was carried home by friends, who left
him thinking that he would soon be all
right, lie was born in Coweta county
on Nov. 20, 1843, and remained a citi
zen of this county until the fall of 1891,
when he moved with his family to Fay
ette county, remaining there until last
year, when he came here to reside with
his son. At the time of his death Mr.
Thurmond was 65 years of age. His
wife died about two years ago. Sev
eral brothers and sisters survive him.
As a soldier he served faithfully in the
41st Georgia regiment for four long
years, and during all the trials of the
army was never injured in a battle.
His record was clear, and his reputation
was that of a good soldier. Few lives
can show a cleaner reeoM, or a man
more upright in his dealings with his
fellow-man. The funeral service was
conducted at the Methodist church
Friday morning by Rev. E. W. Jones,
and the remains were laid to rest in
the city cemetery beside his wife.
Harriman Takes Over the Central of
Georgia.
New York. June 16. The sale of the
Central of Georgia railroad to the Illi
nois Central railroad, carrying out
plans forecasted more than a year ago,
was announced to-day. The transac
tion originated in negotiations culmi
nating in November, when the entire
capital stock of the Georgia Central
passed into the hands of Win. Nelson
Cromwell and John W'. Castles. The pur
chaser. it was announced a few months
later, was E. II. Harriman, whose in
tention, it was then stated, was to
transfer it to the Illinois Central. The
price paid by the Illinois Central was
not given out.
Announcement of the transfer was
made in this city by John F. Hanson,
of Atlanta, president of the Central of
Georgia. The price paid by Mr. Har-
riman for the stock, of the par value
of $5,000,000, was $3,000,000, or at
the rate of $60 per share.
President Harahan left for Georgia
to-day to arrange for the physical
transfer of the Georgia Central to the
Illinois Central.
A Prolific Potato.
Atlanta Constitution.
Not satisfied with yielding an enor
mous output in tiie regular way, an
Irish potato vine growing in the garden
of C. C. Nall, at Lutherville, Ga.,
some time ago began to put out pota
toes all along its branches, and when
sent to The Constitution office yester
day had potatoes as large as eggs grow
ing practically all over the vine, in a
letter accompanying the freak, Mr.
Nall states that the vine grew in his
garden, where the land is a mixture of
sand and red clay. On taking up the
plant he found that the industrious
vine had not neglected its regular duty
while pulling off its unusual stunt, as
proven by the fact that an unusually
large number of potatoes were found
in their accustomed place in the ground.
Mr. Nall is the vice-president and
cashier of the Lutherville Banking Co.

general way and not enough in a partic

An Old Coweta Boy Elected Mayor
of Union City.
At a recent election held in Union 1
City, Mr. D. A. Carmical, president of
the Carmical Mfg. Co , was chosen
mayor of the town. Mr. Carmical. t
who was in fact the founder of the
growing little city of which he has)
been elected mayor, is an old Coweta |
boy. He is the youngest child of the
late Jas. Y. Carmical, and was born i
near Moreland. His parents being old, j
t.he responsibility of looking after his |
father’s farm fell on him when quite!
young. He moved to Campbell county [
in 1889, and continued to farm for quite
awhile. In 1889 he married Miss Cora
J. Westbrook, daughter of Wm. R.
Westbrook, one of the most prominent
farmers of Campbell county, who re
sided for about fifty years on the farm
where Union City now stands. Mr.
Carmical, seeing the great need of im
proved agricultural implements while
farming, began in 1902 inventing and
manufacturing a new line of imple
ments, which he continued to improve
until he has now some of the best ag
ricultural implements on the mraket,
and his machines have become popular
in almost every State in the cotton ]
belt. In 1903, soon after the death of
his wife’s parents, Mr. Carmical pur- j
chased their old homestead, where Un
ion City is now located. He used this I
as a farm until 1907, at which time he !
succeeded in inducing the A., B. & A. j
road to locate its line through his farm,
at which place connection was made
with the A. & W. P. road. Having ac
complished this, he saw that he had |
one of the most beautiful sites for a
town in the South. He soon succeeded
in getting the Farmers’ Union head
quarters located at that place.
Attempt to Wreck Train.
Bremen, Ga., June 14.—An attempt
was made to wreck the accommodation
train running between Cedartown and
Griffin, Saturday night, 2 miles north
of Bremen. The would-be wreckers
placed a number of cross-ties on the
track, but fortunately the engineer
saw the obstruction in time to avoid a
wreck. Sheriff Parker secured blood
hounds Sunday morning and went to
the scene, but the tracks were too cold
for the dogs to follow. Last week,
near this point, Engineer Sam Ayers
was fired on by some unknown party
concealed by the roadside.
Dr. and Mrs. Nunnally to Return to
Georgia.
Rome, Ga., June 16.—W. J. Nunnal
ly to-day purchased the old Noble resi
dence on East First street from Capt.
W. P. Simpson for $7,600, and will im
mediately proceed to improve it in
preparation for occupation by himself
and his father and mother. Dr. and
Mrs. G. A. Nunnally, who will move
here in a few weeks from Lake City,
Fla., where they have been residing.
This residence was formerly the home
of James Noble, sr., father of Samuel
Noble, founder of Anniston, Ala.
They were swapping stories the other
day, when it came the turn of a man
who told of the big things he had seen
on a trip West.
"Why, one dairy farm I visited,”
said he, “made a million pounds of
butter and a million cheeses every
year. ”
The crowd rather shied at this, and
he appealed to another man who had
accompanied him on the trip for cor
roboration.
“Well, i remember the farm,” said
the man appealed to, “but I don’t re
call the number of pounds. I know the
farmer had 17 saw-mills and they were
all run with buttermilk.”
Let no young man of industry and
perfect honesty despair because his
profession or calling is crowded. Let
him always remember that there
room enough at the top, and that the
question whether he is ever to reach
the top, or rise above the crowd at the
base of the pyramid, will be decided by
the way in which he improves the first
ten years in securing to himself a thor
ough knowledge of his profession, and
a sound mural and intellectual culture.
The school boy thinks that a switch
in the hand is worse than a dozen in
the bush.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.
By local applications, as they cannot reach the dis
eased portions of tin? ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining - of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be take*n out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
