It’s usually a bit nerve-rackim? to have one of those little butterflies of the post to stare you in the face; hut it’s the cus tom, and, you, like all good devotees of Madame Folly, must take without a murmur your social medicine. I was 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 vision. On opening the letter I was much surprised to find the following announcement: Our Carrollton Correspondent; LUNCHEON. • lav, Oct. r*. 1009, i p. m. ,1 M. Sch »./. • arrollton, Ga.

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 der.” 1 was expecting the book when [ got the note asking for modification of plans. I was not furious, hut vexed.

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 second time, “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. -It has been demonstrated by recent examples that the city would make ole uri; might !il, ‘Tills v. if them all;— ents no Hand up And nay to all t Well, it let me down easy. I am to eat something up instead of being de voured by Cupid’s train. As Col. Roosevelt could chortle: "Bully!’* —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.

It would he a fine innovation j - Col. Chas. E. Roop spent the week on the old plan of working negroes for at Heard Superior Court. the new city council to demand that no negro should he given employment by its officers, if white men will take their places. There cannot he the least doubt about getting white men to fill the places now occupied by negroes, if flie whites are assured they will not have to work with negroes. There are hundreds of young white men working on the farms for S15 per month who would be glad of an opportunity to make a hollar a day—the price now be ing paid for unwilling and unreliable negroes by the city authorities. White men have done for me twice as much work as did negroes, and are dependa ble. Let us shake the bag and take a new deal. Give the white hoys a show ing. We owe it to them. White men juiid our cities; negroes blight them. --Did you ever get. one of those dain ty. embonpoint envelopes, containing another within, and addressed to you in a friskv, feminine hand? If you ever get one you will know what the next contains—an invitation to some body’s wedding. In the main you handle them rather gingerly, until you earn who are offering themselves upon tfymen’s altar.

This is an up-to-date gin nery, located in the southern suburbs of Carrollton. -Mr. W. S. Campbell usually ki o vs a good thing. He purchased in New- nan Saturday the Woodroof motor car one of the handsomest on the road. Mr. A. O. Haile was called to Griffin last Sunday to the bedside of his sister, Mrs. Jones. —Mr. C. H. Stewart is visiting Sul livan’s Island, near Charleston, thi 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. - -We are pleased to note that Mr. J. 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. ” 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.
