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. Women distrust men too much in a general way and not enough in a partic ular way. 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. P OJTS &, PARK 3 Newnan’s Leading Dress Goods House. COR SETS “American Lady” Corsets tit and satisf}'.
