•While making post-election calls,
after he had been nominated for Gov
ernor, Gov. Brown, for lack of time or
gome other good reason, failed to call
on his Carroll county friends; but, to
make amends for this seeming neglect,
he promises to be in attendance at the
A. & M. Industrial Fair on Oct 5. The
Governor's visit will give eclat to the
magnificent displays to i>e made by the
Fourth District Agricultural Associa
tion.
The prize-winning cup offered by
that enterprising jeweler, Dr. J. D.
Hamrick, to the exhibitor who enters
the ten highest scoring chickens at the
A. Ar M. Fair for three several years,
is a thing of beauty. On the obverse
side of the cup is a beautifully en
graved rooster, on the reverse side
will be engraved the name of the prize
winner. This beautiful vessel is the
cynosure of all passers.
Bill Bonner, the colored major
dome of the county jail, found himself
tying in a semi-conscious state at the
foot of the stairway leading to the
•cages on the upper floor. As soon as
he could dispel the dazed thoughts that
seethed in his well-beaten head he was
reminded that as he was handing the
negro prisoners their meals through
the half-open door they made a rush,
knocking him down the steep stairway.
Each of them (three) pounded him as
they passed his prostrate form lying at
the foot of the steps. He clambered
jp the steps, closed the door and gave
the alarm. Soon the hue and cry was
raised, and a hundred or more men and
hoys joined in the chase, The convict
nigger dogs were sent for, and after a
these of two or three hours a couple of
the “coons” were run into a rooky
thicket As the officers and dogs ap
proached they delivered a fusilade of
svbnes upon thorn that would have done
oraiM. to the left-handed rock-dingers
•of hil>heal latne. The officers and pur
suing crowd began a systematic skir-
uim. The thicket was surrounded and
bombarded with small arms. The nig-
tevs were seen to scale a couple of
trees to escape the leaden shower. The
officers advanced and made them come
down ,■ whereupon they were securely
hog-tied ami thrown into an ox-cart,
which delivered them at the jail. The
third nigger is stifl floating on the sur
face of the occasion and trusting to the
sublimity of luck, though the officers
are hopeful of returning him to his
former quarters in the con argerie.
It’s a pity the world hasn’t more
useful men like the Congressman of
the Fourth district of Georgia. A
thousand and one demands are being
outdo upon him just now to deliver ad
dresses and the like. Even President
Taft has invited him to join the Presi
dential party at St. Louis and make the
Vrip down the river to New Orleans;
hot he can’t do so, because of previous
engagements.
• If l give many more recitals about
bugs, worms and other vermin, l fear
’ the readers of The Herald and Adver
tiser will regard me as a “nature fa
kir.” But in matters of this kind I’m
like the great naturalist, Humboldt;
Pd write the truth concerning the
“critters” if 1 dislocated my shoulder-
blade; so here goes to tell you of an
bumble, deformed worm that Tom
Henry lassoed as he (the worm, of
course,) was grazing on a grapevine.
The worm was sober and hungry when
placed in captivity, and Tom was so
ber and zealous in the interest of
science when he brought into my • utel-
lier a little worm with a head on it like
» house cat—ears, moustache and all.
His eyes gleamed like two lanterns in
a cellar-door on a dark night. The
small body ended in a couple of V-
shaped tails, pointed with barbs in the
end. This led me to think that the in
sect was carniverous. He was placed
in a small glass-covered box, and a
house fly was introduced into the box.
As soon as the lly was put into the box
the worm raised its head and began to
scent. It crept cautiously towards the
lly with its tail in front. When in
striking distance it coiled its tails up
tike a hair-spring and let drive with
lightning rapidity at the fly. It was
transfixed with both barbs. The worm
then turned its head towards the rear,
handed the fly to its mouth, which was
devoured with great relish. It is
mown, according to the story told by
the patriarch Jacob, that animals in
breeding season take their color from
anything they see. It is supposed by
knowing ones that a tomcat must have

—Carrollton is a great rendezvous for
Gretna Green devotees W'heri irate or
| implacable mammas and papas on the
I Alabama side undertake to thwart the
machinations of the Paphian boy, the
j fond lovers flee to this city of refuge,
i where a Georgia marriage license is
procured and a handy minister or
| ’squire ties the marriage knot. On the
i early train Sunday morning a young
man and a 14-year-old girl got off at
this place. They came to my boarding
house. It soon became noised about
the house that they were runaway lov
ers looking for a legal hitching-post.
i Breakfast over, the hoys got busy. A
j license was procured and a ’squire
yanked up. The youngsters repaired to
the parlor and the man of law made
them a lawful pair. The young fellow
was profuse in his thanks for the ex
peditious manner in which we harnessed
him into the matrimonial gear. When
it was all over he said : “Thank good
ness, the old man can’t chase me
around the house no more, ’cause now
I’m Mag’s, and she’s mine!”
—We’ve said it before, and are
ready to reiterate, that Judge Bill
Brown, our able Representative, is one
of the best lawyers in Georgia. Even
the Georgia Legislature must pause
and note the fact. They’ve concluded
to revise the Code, and as a matter of
course Judge Brown is a very promi
nent figure on the board of revisers.

the Knights of Pythias convention in
Griffin last week ; Homer Perdue, B.

postmaster, attended the National
Postmasters’ Convention held recently
at Gainesville. He reports the time of
his life.
—Misses A1 lie and Addie Beall, two
of Newnan’s charming young ladies,
returned to their home Sunday, after a
week’s visit to Mrs. Robt. Walker.
—Roy Power has accepted a situation
with the Sarah Perkins Pump Co., with
headquarters at Anniston. It will be a
difficult matter for the Camp Drug Co.
to replace this suave young gentleman,
whose smile was the “real candy” to
the many damsels who frequent that
popular resort.
—Mrs. E. E. Hearn has for the past
month had Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hanna
as her guests. They returned to Florala,
Ala., Tuesday.
—Aside from Jesse Smith, Newt
Power is the smoothest equine trad
ing artist in Carroll. For years he has
been associated with the firm of J. C.

their future home.

of Hon. H. W. Long as ( mayor Satur
day, and Thos. C. Bledsoe, Daniel
Hearn, Richard Dozier and Calvin
Webb as aldermen. Though defeated
by a small majority. Mayor Burns has
given the city a brilliant and useful ad
ministration. He has pushed the ex
cellent street work begun by Hon. H.
W. Long to a point that puts Carrollton
in a class by herself, as compared to oth
er cities of her size—for none of them
have paved streets, which fact reflects
much credit upon the people of Carroll
ton. Under the guidance of Mayor
Long we may expect many much-need
ed improvements the ensuing year.
—For reasons Judge S. W. Harris
declined the office of adjutant-general,
which was tendered him a few days
ago by Gov. Brown. We are pleased to
know that this was done, as it is a re
buke to the Governor who deprived
him of the office.
—Mr. Jas. Fitts has returned to his
work of cotton-buying in Mississippi.
He is accompanied by Mrs. Fitts, and
they go by way of St. Louis.
—Col. Jesse Smith stands without a
peer as a cotton farmer. Something
over a year ago he bought the Bert
Reagan farm of BOO acres, paying up
wards of $3,000 for it. The year before
he took it the combined elforts of two
or three tenants produced only four
teen bales of cotton. Col. Smith gave
the land a thorough preparation and
planted it to cotton. He has 185 acres
planted this season, and it is safe to
say he will make 125 bales, weighing
500 pounds each. Aft"r looking the
crop carefully over I am sure one could
pick 50 acres that would make a bale
per acre. Comparisons are odious—es
pecially to the fellow who has land ly
ing alongside such a farm as the one
I have briefly described. But it is true
that his land, acre for acre, will pro
duce twice as much as that of his
man than
there is in the land. One has to know
the subject of this sketch before his
many rare qualities will dawn upon
one, for they are numerous and efful
gent. He has an occasional idiosyncracy
that stands prominently forth. To il
lustrate. he has an abiding and unyield
ing antipathy to corn —both in solid
and liquid forms. He describes his
loathing for this famous cereal as
something like Eve’s horror for apples
after her little indiscretion. He says
misery and death lurk in the heart of
that grain. Said he to me, in portraying
its subversive Qualities: “Instinctive
ly I have known there was something
fearfully wrong with corn. It looks in
nocent enough, but there’s a drunk in
every ear; the germs of pellagra, like
the deadly serpent that sinks its en
venomed fangs into its victim, are con
cealed in every grain. I do not allow
the pestilence to grow on my farm.
I feed my mules and cattle on other
things—corn, never. My tenants and
wages hands cat the products of wheat
and oats and drink the products of rye,
to which I have no objection to a modi
cum myself. Yes, l regard corn as the
bane of the race. It is more deadly in
its effects upon the human race than
the miasma emitted by the fatal upas
tree. First, there’s old corn liquor, like
King Saul of the Jews, who slew his
thousands with his keen claymore; but
old corn liquor, like little David with
his sling and pebbles from the brook of
Kedron, slew his tens of thousands. Sec
ond, there’s old cornbread, which has
been killing thousands of dagoes in
Southern Italy for centuries with pella
gra. And last, but not least, it has in
vaded this great land of freedom. Yes,
the dreaded pellagra, more deadly than
smallpox or consumption, is here. Who
brought it? Old cornbread, of course.
The great American eagle flees and
perches himself on highest mountain
peaks and screams a requiem to the
devastation and death wrought by old
cornbread. No, sir; no cornbread, no
corn liquor or corn on the cob for me.”
Thds saying, the Colonel lit his cob
pipe and swapped mules with a passer
by. Mule trading is his long suit. He
loves to handle the buggers and his
clients to boot. The people of Carroll
can do without many things, but when
Old Master calls Col. Smith to the bo
som of his fathers there’ll be a univer
sal wail, and crepe will go up.
—A masked negro man assaulted
Mrs. Newt West about 7 p. m. yester
day, (Sunday.) She was knocked down
with a bludgeon, choked and otherwise
abused. Her screams caused the mis
creant to flee before accomplishing his
brutal purpose. He took with him Mr.
West’s shotgun. On account of his
mask the lady could not identify the
negro, though she ascertained his color
from his bands. Dogs were sent for,
which took a trail that led to J. C.
Bass’ livery stable. On examination it
was found that Will Hindsman, a ne
gro stable hand, had hastily undressed,
throwing his clothing about the room
he occupied as a sleeping apartment.
He was found later and lodged in jail,
but could give no coherent explanation
of his whereabouts about the hour the
assault was made on the lady. Two
other negroes found in the vicinity of
the West home were arrested and
lodged in jail, as (hey could give
good reason for their presence in that
locality. Excitement is at the boiling
point, and if the guilty wretch
found he will be given short shrift.
It is a fearful state of affairs to have
among us a set of black devils who
criminally assault and murder our
wives, daughters and sisters. It is
well enough to counsel the ruined hus
band, son and brother to let the law
take its course, but what are you go
ing to do when these dreadful conse
quences blast your own homes? Surely
this thing is not unlikely, since there are
thousands of lecherous, lurking negro
devils who may at any moment pounce
upon and destroy those nearer and
dearer to you than life itself.

Warming Up to the Governor.
Savannah Newt*.
The attitude the Governor has taken
on the question of pardons has had the
effect of waking up the people and
making them do a little thinking. It
isn’t so much the fact that he refused
to grant clemency to Mitchell and
Pharr, both men of the influential class
of citizens, as what he said in refusing
to pardon them, that is causing the peo
ple to warm up to him. The people
realize that if the law is to be enforced
and crime checked there must not be one
law for the rich and influential—that
men occupying positions of trust and
responsibility and having in their keep
ing the earnings of the poor, the little
legacies of the widows and orphans as
well as the accumulations of those who
are in comfortable circumstances, can
not violate their trust with compara
tive impunity—cannot fill their pockets
with trust funds with the expectation
that their social standing and their in
fluential friends will be able to get
them out of trouble if the law grasps
them.
It was said by his political opponents,
when Gov. Brown was a candidate for
Governor, that he would be a man of
putty in the hands of designing politi
cians in the event of his election. No
doubt many believed this statement.
Mr. Brown was so little known out
side of the circles in which he moved
that there was a disposition to believe
almost anything his political enemies
said of him.
Gov. Brown’s administration prom
ises to be full of surprises. By many
little was expected of him. Already
they are beginning to see that he is
equal to any situation with which he is
likely to have to deal.
