Our Carrollton Correspondenlj ak a* my undoratanding ine honesty puts it to utt “Believe me. I ap Btructa mo, anti as r unco.”—[Shakeapeare. •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 • Billy Beall has returned from New York, where he has been taking a bus iness course. True, New York is hard ly so large as Atlanta, yet it is much older, and they have a few institutions of learning Atlanta has not yet ac quired. It will hardly pay a young man to overlook the many advantages pos- j sessed by Atlanta to go to any town | on this planet. —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 following delegates attended the Knights of Pythias convention in Griffin last week ; Homer Perdue, B. A. Chanters, S. J. Boykin and Hot Thornton. —Genial Claude Smith, our excellent 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. Bass Co. He has now made a business engagement with the Bass firm of Grif fin, where he and his family will make their future home. —Pellagra has invaded Carroll. Quit eating yankee corn. Eat and drink Carroll corn if you want to live long in this land of plenty. —It was short and warm, the munic ipal contest that ended in the election 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. —Pressing business demands caused me to decline touring the continent with the Presidential party, who were 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. -8SE53SSS- An inducement to return property is offered as follows; “If the gentleman who keeps the shoe store with a red head will return the umbrella of a young lady with whalebone ribs and an iron handle to the slate-roofed grocer’s shop, he will hear of something to his advantage, as the same is a gift of a deceased mother now no more with the name engraved upon it.” Education makes the difference be tween the cannibal and the gentleman.

He has told so many things that he knows about the “big nail,” and what a long-winded liar Cook is, that the country has come to believe him the worse man of the two. A patient in a hospital had been kept on a low diet for a couple of weeks and naturally longed for a square meal. One morning the doctor found him so much better chat it seemed his appetite could at last be safely appeased. “Do you think you could eat a small chick en to-day, Tim?” asked the M. D. “Faith, an’ Oi could sor,” eagerly re sponded the patient. “And what would you like to have it stuffed with?” queried the doctor. ‘“If it’s all the samet’ yez” answer ed Tim, “Oi’d loik to have it stuffed with another chicken, sor.” TO THE CITIZENS OF NEWNAN Reese Drug; Co. have in their possession what can be honestly termed a godsend to humanity, and they will prove it if given the opportunity.
