handed one of these letters yesterday,
and, my spectacles not being handy,
my imagination ran riot until I walked
to my office in search of my aids to

much surprised to find the following

—This is a world of trials and tribu
lations. If you have not a domestic
tragedy to wring your heart, you’ll
have a business transaction to vex your
patient soul, or a thousand and one
peccadillos to make you pace “uneasy
street.” 1 complain of one of the lat
ter. Wo have a meter system for our
water plant; it is therefore necessary
to have a meter record book; so 1
mapped out a design and sent to an
Atlanta blank-book maker requesting
that he make and send mo the hook
taut de suie—which means right now.
In a week or ten days 1 received the
following encouraging note from the
”bookieH:” “Would respectfully sug
gest that your book will he too large.
Suppose we make it half the size you
indicate. We think then its lines could
he made smaller. We are now ready
to begin the work and await your or

[ got the note asking for modification
of plans. I was not furious, hut vexed.
[ canceled the order in a nice 50-word
letter setting forth my views on broken
promises, and the perfidy of man. liy
return mail 1 received the nicest letter
written since Henry Ward Beecher
wrote his famous Bcreed to Plymouth
uhurch, requesting that he be given
until the 5th inst. to finish and deliver
the books. His request was granted.
The 5th inst. is past, and other days
have stepped upon its heels, and 1 have
no book yet. Feeling it was incum
bent on the worm to wiggle when trod
upon, l wrote him the following letter,
which will serve to show my patient
and long-suffering disposition;
"Dear Sir; You promised me the
record hook some days ago. That it
did not come is too painfully apparent.
1 doubt not your promise was made in
goodl faith. Granted. But what good
to me is a broken promise, however
honestly made? There is a grewsome
proverb which says of the good unin
tentional erring ones: 'Hell is paved
with good intentions.’ Draw your own
deduction. Are these or those perform
ers of good, broken intentions habitues
of the elysian fields, or are they stok
ing perdition’s eternal fireworks? Re
gretting as only one can who believes
in the motto of the Father of our Coun
try : 'Deliver the goods, if it takes the
hair oil',’ 1 am disappointedly, for the

“Your unfortunate patron,
"Charles M. Speer, Clerk.”
We will continue to look for the re
cord, though it he delayed in the aeons
of the dim distant future.
Our chief of police, than whom
aone better hats an insolent “coon”
from the cape of Good Hope to Bering
Strait, has removed a bench from the
middle of the pubile square, locally
known as “buzzard roost,” where from
"early dawn to dewy eve” may he
seen a dozen or more idle, gossiping
negro men and negro boys. These vag
abonds are the pampered pets of negro
cooks, who. by hook or crook, feed
them. No one. however pressing his
necessity, can hire one of these loafers.
From their ranks conies your night-
marauding thief, the murderer and
jape fiend. Let the sheritf and mar
shals get busy and make these loafers
go to work or arrest them for vagran
cy.

—Editor Tom Watson is flinging
some mighty hot shot into the Foreign
Missionary camp. Tom is like the old
grenadier who said of Napoleon: "The
cube of his brain outweighs the bal
ance of the universe.” What he
doesn't know about men and measures
can’t be told by the ordinary mortal.
—Cotton is coming in slowly; but,
bless the Lamb! when our farmers
sell a bale they have two-thirds of a
hundred dollars. Though a small crop,
it will leave more money in the country
than a bumper crop would. This should
teach "the man with the hoe” to hoe
less cotton and garner more cash.
—A contemporary asks; "Shall Car-
roll fail in her first fair?” We say no,
no, no—emphatically no! We’ve got
the men, money and git up and go.
“Failure” is not written in her youth
ful lexicon. Not much, Mary Ann!
—The city continues to run a train
of cars from the quarry to the pump
ing-station, which delivers about thir
ty tons of crushed stone on the exten
sion from the city limits to the station.
This is part of a scheme which the
county hus in view. It is the purpose
of our able County Commissioner to
build a macadamized road from Car
rollton to Villa Rica. When completed,
a company of capitalists will run a line
of automobiles from Carrollton to Villa
Rica. It is the company’s purpose to
give Carrollton better facillitics for
reaching the outside world. The
scheme appears eminently feasible,
and the next year may see the line in
operation.
—Billy Hamrick, the Jupiter Tonans
of thu Carrollton bar, was in attend
ance at Heard Superior Court last
week. As usual, he electrified his au
ditors with his eloquence, and wrung
verdicts from the jurors by convincing
them ofttimes against their better
judgment.
- Judge R. W. Freeman was in the
city the other day. The purpose of his
visit was to grant a charter to the Paul
Jack Co.
-Col. Sid Holderness was in attend
ance at Heard Superior Court last
week. Col. Holderness is a practition
er whose clients come from adjoining
counties. He does a splendid practice,
both at home and abroad.
— Mr. L. D. McPherson and family,
of Knoxville, Tenn.. were guests of
Carrollton friends the latter part of
the week.
— Mrs. A. D. Turner was the guest
of Bremen friends Wednesday.
Miss Minnette Weems, of Ala
bama, is the guest of her brother, Mr.
F. A. Weems.
—The fair grounds at the A. & M.
are progressing famously. The grand
stand and driveway are completed, and
there are many other evidences that
the management have the business
well in hand.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bass, of Ce-
dartown, were the guests last week of
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bass.
—Mrs. Claude Smith and children
have returned from llogansville, where
A. Aycock, who was taken by Dr. H.
F. Harris, of Atlanta, to Philadelphia
for the purpose of having an operation
performed, is doing nicely.
—Newnan has produced many fine
business men, but no one of tnem has
made such a phenomenal record in the
business world as iias Mr. McCaslan
Manley, supernitendent of agencies of
the Georgia Life Insurance Company,
of Macon. Unaided and alone he has
achieved a success in the insurance
field that: comes to hut few rnen of his
age. From canvasser he went to the
highest subordinate branches of the
business. Under his skillful manage
ment of the Franklin Life Insurance
Go. in the South, ha more than doubled
its business in a year. His services
have been sought for and obtained by
one or more of the gigantic life com
panies, such as the Equitable and oth
ers of its class. Ttie' board of direc
tors of the Georgia Life Insurance Co.
may congratulate themselves upon se
curing the services of Mr. Manley, for
there are few men so well qualified to
handle that branch of their business
which he represents as himself. He
has the best wishes of his many friends
in Western Georgia.
There has never been anything like
it in Georgia. It stepped into the life
insurance field with more than a mil-
ion dollars in its cofFers. This young
ife insurance giant, the Georgia Life
of Macon, began business less than a
year ago. Such was the confidence of
the business world in the management
that its stock sold for 50 per cent,
above par on its first,sales: and to-day
is worth 100 per cent, above par. This
is the company Mac Manley repre
sents. He was here Thursday and Fri
day negotiating some loans with the
people of Bowdon. To explain the
foregoing, the company has a large
surplus which it is seeking to invest.
While here Mr. Manley sold a big block
of Georgia Life stock. The Georgia
Life is a go, and Mac Manley is at the
helm. Our best wishes attend him.
Now, Mr. Cotton-grower, don’t let
the present hig price of cotton turn
your head. Go right on next year and
plant plenty of wheat, oats and corn,
and enough cotton to make socks.
—I was over in Henry county a few
days ago. While there I met one of
Henry’s best farmers, Mr. John F.
Moss. Some twenty-five or thirty
years ago Mr. Moss fed one of his arms
to a hungry cotton gin, since which
time he has been farming with one
hand. Like many other good men who
stick to business he has made a bushel
of money. This is his plan; Raise your
supplies at home, and make cotton the
surplus crop. He and his neighbors
have a farmers’ club. The purpose of
the club is to offer premiums to each
other for the best acre of wheat, oats,
corn and cotton. This year one of hi s
neighbors made 50 bushels of wheat per
acre, while others made nearly as
much. He made 75 bushels of corn on
an acre, and 75 or 80 bushels of oats
on his entire crop. That’s the way to
farm. Get together and advise with
each other in farmers’ clubs. This will
fill your barns and raise mortgages.

week. It’s a good thing he was not
there in ’83 and ’64, when the yankees
and niggers swopt the ground with
small arms and cannister. Many’s the
time our boys drove the blue coats and
blackbirds back from our entrench
ments. There were three of those is
lands the yankees wanted mighty bad
in those days, to-wit: Morris, Sullivan
and Jones. On the latter was erected
Fort Sumter, which rivaled Port Ar
thur in its defense. Hundreds of as
saults were made upon the dismantled
fort, but the Federals always found a
ready enemy to give him his conge.

Robert E. Lee in the United
Capitol.
Haiti more Sun.
Virginia is soon to place in Statuary
Hall, in the United States Capitol at
Washington, the statues of her two
favorite sons. The statues have arriv
ed in Washington and will soon he un
veiled with appropriate ceremonies.
Out of the large number of illustrious
Virginians the State has chosen two
whose right to priority none will dis
pute. For George Washington was so
pre-eminently "first in war, first in
peace, and first in the hearts of his
countrymen,” that he is universally re
garded as the most commanding figure
in the War of the Revolution and the
period of the formation of the nation.
But though Washington in the object
for which he fought achieved complete
success, and Robert E. Lee surrendered
in defeat, even Washington does not
dispute the place which Lee occupies in
the hearts of the Virginians. He gave
his genius, his State, and he is her
best-belovd son.
Virginia had no hesitancy about her
own choice. But the Civil War period
is so recent, its enmities were so in
tense, that there were those who ques
tioned whether the prejudice and bitter
ness had died out. There was a time
not so many years ago when the mere
suggestion that the statue of a Confed
erate commander be placed in the Capi
tol of the United States would have
been greeted by a storm of disapproval;
the politicians would have "waved the
bloody shirt” and shrieked “rebellion”
and "treason.” The manner in which
the presentation of the Lee statue has
been received shows that the period of
hysterical prejudice has passed. It is
well.
To-day throughout the North not a
protest is heard against the acceptance
of the Lee statue by the Government.
Instead of this, it is accepted with en
thusiasm as "erasing the last line of
the Civil War.” Ever since Appomat
tox the figure of Lee has been looming
up larger and larger with the years,
until to-day he is recognized as one of
the greatest leaders of the English-
sneaking race. He typifies all that was
best of the old South and is the inspira
tion of all that is finest in the new. His
great genius as a military commander
is at last universally acknowledged; but
it has been eclipsed by his personality
as the knightliest man of his time.
The office boy of certain Philadelphia
lawyer recently approached his employ
er with a request for an increase of
wages.
“How old are you?” demanded the
lawyer.
"Fourteen, sir.”
"And you’re drawing four dollars a
week?”
"Yes, sir.”
"Do you know, young man,” said the
lawyer, with forbidding sternness, "that
when I was your age I was receiving
only $2 per week? ’ ’
"No sir, I didn’t know it, said the
boy. Then after a moment’s reflection,
he added, quite respectfully, "but, then,
sir, perhaps you weren’t worth any
more. ”
