The many friends of Mr. Ira A.
Smith, the well-known business man,
will learn with much pleasure that he
had greatly improved in health since
visiting Borden-Wheeler Springs. He
is now at the springs recuperating
from his recent illness, and is expected
home soon. A short time ago Mr.
Smith was taken ill, and for several
days was in a serious condition at his
home in College Park. He has been
at the springs for some time, and re
ports from him state that he is greatly
improved and rapidly regaining his
health.—Atlanta Journal.
The announcement of the engage
ment of Miss Annie A. McCalla, of
Heardmont, Ga., to Mr. J. Howard
Perdue, of Birmingham, Ala., has been
received with great interest by her
many Georgia friends. Miss McCalla
represents one of the oldest and most
distinguished families of South Caro
lina. She has not only been a social
favorite in Georiga and South Caroli
na, but has been a feted belle at both
American and European resorts. Mr.
Perdue is a man of strong personal
magnetism, and is one of the brightest
and most popular young members of
the Alabama bar.—Atlanta Journal.
The Salmagundi Club, Newnan’s
most exclusive ladies’ social organiza
tion, inaugurated the fall and winter
season with a series of brilliant recep
tions this week. The club was enter
tained Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. P.
B. Murphey and Mrs. Sanders Gibson,
at the home of Mrs. Gibson, ar.d again
yesterday afternoon by Mrs. R. O.
Jones and Miss Julia May Hackney, at
the home of Miss Hackney. This af
ternoon, from 4 to 6, Mrs. Frank Rawls
will entertain the club at a bridge par
ty, and other functions are scheduled
for the coming fall months by differ
ent members of the organization. Miss
Neilie Lou Walton is president of the
club.
Our cotton warehouses are now be
ginning to get busy, a"d for the next
four months will have all they can do
to handle the cotton that comes to
Newnan. The Farmers’ Warehouse is
again in charge of Mr. J. A. Stephens
as manager, with Mr. R. H. Ware as
weigher, and a full corps of truckmen
and samplers. Messrs. A, R. Burdett
& Co. will operate two warehouses this
season—the Powel warehouse and the
Murray warehouse. Messrs. J. H.
Summers and L. A. Grimes will man
age the Powel warehouse, and Messrs.
W. B. Martin and F. L. Lyle will be
in charge at the Murray warehouse.
The shippers for both warehouses are
Messrs. A. II. Arnold and W. II. Duke.
Millinery Announcement. — Our mil
linery department has been reorgan
ized, and is now under a new manage
ment. We were fortunate enough to
secure the services of Miss Forrester,
a milliner of the finest talent and large
experience. Under the spot cash plan
we own our stock of millinery, and are
therefore enabled to sell very much
cheaper than heretofore. By selling
for cash we can be satisfied with a
smaller profit. We are preparing one
of the largest and most varied collec
tions of fall and winter styles ever
seen in this section, and promise a
treat for all lovers of artistic milli
nery. Our opening will be held Wed
nesday and Thursday, Sept. 29 and 3U.
Boone-Stripling Co.
As Mr. J. W. Ingram and his daugh
ter, of Panther. Creek district, were
driving to town yesterday morning, and
when at a point a short distance this
side of the Central railroad crossing,
they encountered an automobile on the
highway. They were in a surrey, and
driving a pair of mules that had never
seen an automobile. The animals be
came badly frightened and left the
road, jumping into a ditch by the road
side and pulling the vehicle after
them. Mr. Ingram and his daughter
had enough presence of mind to jump
before the vehicle capsized, else they
would have been badly hurt. The only
damage, fortunately, was some broken
harness—but for a few minutes Mr.
Inrgam was mad enough to fight a
preacher. The name of the automo-
bilist was not learned.
and has been located since in St. Louis.
Dr. Bradley’s boyhood days were spent
at Lone Oak, in Meriwether county,
and he was at one time a pupil of Hon.
S. E. Leigh. His surprising action
in renouncing his mother church and
espousing the Congregational faith is
evidence that the charges of heresy
preferred against him four years ago
were pretty well founded.
At a called meeting of the City Coun
cil Monday night the question of tak
ing the census next spring was dis
cussed. Much interest was manifest
ed, as it is desired by Council that
Newnan’s population shall be reported
fully and accurately in the new Federal
census—which was not the case in 1900,
as everyone knows. In order to se
cure a complete and accurate enumera
tion of the city’s population the Mayor
and Aldermen have requested Hon. E.
T. Moon, supervisor of the census for
this district, to appoint Mr. J. P.
Shackleford, chief of police, as enu
merator for the city of Newnan. Mr.
Shackleford has just completed a police
census, and the work was done thor
oughly and intelligently, his long ser
vice on the police force giving him an
acquaintance in the city that proved
of great advantage in making the enu
meration. The motive of the City
Council in recommending Mr. Shackle
ford for the position of enumerator,
therefore, will be fully appreciated by
our people, all of whom should be in
terested in having Newnan make a
creditable showing in the next census.
The presentation of “Forgiven” at
the auditorium on Friday night. Sept.
24. will mark the second annual en
gagement of the distinguished young
actor, Lionel Lawrence, as one of the
opening attractions of the season. At
the recent meeting of the “Southern
Theatrical Managers’ Association,”
when the open door proposition was
discussed and turned down. Klaw *
Erianger, the “syndicate” booking
agents that were awarded the con
tracts, found themselves faced with
the proposition of providing attrac
tions of more than ordinary merit for
the season, in which they promise to
eclipse all former efforts. Newnan be
ing, so to speak, one of the “key”
towns of the South, was naturally in a
position to demand attractions of more
than passing merit. The selection of
“Forgiven” as one of the introductory
offerings is but an evidence of the
farsightedness of these men, who have
so successfully cornered the theatrical
business of the country. The audito
rium management are to be congratu
lated upon having secured this attrac
tion. Prominent among the support
of the star are Walter E. Cuneo, Sher
idan Holmes, John F. Goodwin, W.
G. O’Neil, Frederick Neifert, Sam
Wilson, Miss Mrytle Churchill, Miss
Jennie Pruning, Miss Flora Nelson,
and “Baby” Goodwin.
Local theatregoers will be pleased
to learn that Mr. Lionel Lawrence,
who so capably played the “Devil” in
Henry W. Savage’s production of that
name at the auditorium last season,
will appear here again on Friday night.
Sept. 24, in his new play for this sea
son, the romantic comedy drama, “For
given.” This is a play of the South,
and is full of heart interest, mingling
the tears with the smiles. Mr. Law
rence will carry a cast of superior
excellence, and a scenic equipment
second to none, and feels sure of again
meriting our approval. While it is
quite a step from the role of Dr. Mil
ler in the “Devil” to that of Jack Dia
mond, a sportsman in the ante-bellum
days of the South, as he appears in
“Forgiven,” we have no hesitancy in
assuring theatregoers that the ability
of Mr. Lawrence will enable him to
leap the gap and give entire satisfac
tion, surpassing even his remarkable
work of last season.
Rev. Dr. Henry Stiles Bradley, at
one time a popular minister of the
North Georgia Conference, but who for
the past three years has been serving
as pastor of St. John’s M. E. church,
South, at St. Louis, has renounced
Methodism and resigned to accept the
pastorate of a Congregational church
at Worcester, Mass. It will be re
called that when the North Georgia
Conference met in Newnan four years
ago Dr. Bradley was tried for heresy,
but was acquitted. The following year
he was transferred to the St. Louis
Conference of the M. E. Church, South
The Bank of Raymond.
The stockholders of the Bank of Ray
mond will have a barbecue at Ray
mond to-morrow afternoon in celebra
tion of the successful organization of
that enterprise. There are about fifty
stockholders, including many of the
most substantial citizens of that com
munity, and the bank begins business
with a strong local backing, and with a
strong and popular directorate as well.
Hon. S. T. Blalock, the president, is
one of the most successful business
men in the State, with many years’
experience as a banker and merchant.
He is president of the Bank of Fayette
ville, president of a big mercantile
company at the same place, director in
a number of other enterprises, and is
also a large landowner. The writer
has known Mr. Blalock intimately for
thirty years, and if he needed any word
of commendation he could get it at our
hands without reservation;—but he
doesn’t need it. Mr. E. J. Bailey, the
cashier, is well-known to the people of
Goweta county, and trusted and es
teemed by everyone. That he will
make a popular and accommodating
bank official goes without saying.
By the way, we understand that the
stock of this bank has been so largely
oversubscribed that the directors are
considering the advisability of increas
ing the capitalization from $25,000 to
$40,000.
More Trouble for the Corporations.
In order to carry out the provisions
of the rceent law passed by Congress
imposing a special excise tax upon all
corporations whose net earnings exceed
$5,000, Revenue Collector Rucker, of
Atlanta, has instructed his deputies
throughout the State to take a census
of the corporations doing business in
their respective districts. The depu
ties are also instructed to go back over
the records and secure a list of all cor
porations ever chartered, and then com
pare the list with the records in the
Ordinary’s office in each county and
ascertain which corporations are
now existent. The revised list, show
ing the name and capitalization of
every live corporation, is then
placed in the hands of the Revenue
Collector. The different corpora
tions are classified as follows: First,
financial and commercial; second, pub
lic service corporations; third, indus
trial and manufacturing companies;
fourth, mercantile firms; fifth, all oth
er corporations and associations not in
cluded in the above classifications. The
tax is levied only upon net incomes in
excess of $5,000, and the tax is fixed at
one per cent. Returns must be made
to the Collector of Internal Revenue
on or before March 1. 1910, and shall
cover the entire calendar year ending
Dec. 31, 1909. Blanks are furnished
by the Collector of Revenue upon which
returns shall be made by the corpora
tions.
There are a number of corpora
tions in Newnan whose net incomes
will exceed $5,000, and it is safe to say
that the law will prove very unpopular
here.
