NEWNAN, FRIDAY, NOV. 26.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
Worries of School Teachers.
No Pecans in His Court-Room.
Washington Post.
‘•While visiting my home town some
time ago,” said Representative Ed
ward W. Ton, of North Carolina, at the
Raleigh, “I had occasion to go to the
court-house while court was in session.
Judge George Ward, who presides—an
upright jurist and fine man had his
temper a bit ruffled that morning over
a most unearthly racket that proceeded
from the popping of peanut shells. It
seemed as though every man in the
court-room was engaged in masticating
the toothsome goobers, and the crack
ing of the shells made a lot of vexa
tious noise.
“Finally, his patience gone. Judge
Ward said: ‘This business shall be
stopped; I can’t hear my ear3. Mr.
Sheriff, take charge of the next man
you see popping peanut shells and col
lect a $5 fine from him, or carry hirn to
jail for contempt. ’
“The stern words of the Judge caused
a silence instant and deep, and for a
few minutes the noise of a falling pin
could have been heard. Business that
had been retarded now went merrily
along, when, all of a sudden, pop! pop!
came the resounding racket in a far
away corner of the chamber. In a mo
ment the sheriff had grabbed the of
fender, a good-looking citizen, who was
scared nearly out of his wits, and car
ried him in front of the Judge, who pro
ceeded to give the culprit a warm
dressing down, winding up with the
imposition of the pecuniary penalty be
fore announced.
“ ‘Your honor,’ began the man, in
tones of humble apology, ‘I did not
mean to offend against the dignity of
the court. I heard what your honor
said about not popping peanuts, and,
indeed, sir, I did not violate the court’s
order. ’
“ ‘What in the thunder, then,’ roared
the Judge, ‘were you doing to produce
that infernal disturbance, if it wasn’t
peanuts?’
“ ‘May it please your honor, it was
n pecan. ’
"At this I thought Judge Ward would
fall out of his chair, and the crowd in
dulged in roars of laughter.
“ ‘My friend,’ said the Judge, all ill-
humor gone, ‘your plea is well taken,
for there is a fatal variance between
the evidence and the indictment. Mr.
Clerk, amend that order I made a
while ago so as to include a $10 fine
for eating pecans in this court-room.’ ”
Had Their Wits With Them.
Philadelphia Record.
Mine. Rachel, the great actress, was
resting alone in tier dressing-room one
night, preparatory to going on the
stage, when a man suddenly entered,
and, drawing a dagger, he said he was
going to kill her if she did not at once
consent to marry him.
The actress saw at a glance that the
man was mad and meant what he said.
So with the utmost coolness she re
plied :
"Certainly 1 will niarrv you. I wish
nothing better. Come with me to the
the priest at once: I have had him
come here for the purpose.’’
She took his arm and they went out
together to where there was assist
ance, of course, and the man was im
mediately put under arrest.
An instance of great presence of mind
under a very different aspect of affairs
was narrated to me by John Russell
Young, a writer in the Grand Maga
zine. Once during the Civil War, when
Grant was in subordinate command, he
was reconnoitering alone near the ene
my’s lines. Suddenly he found himself
confronted by one of the Confederate
pickets, who was for arresting him.
“Sho! sho!” said Grant, with the ut
most coolness; “can’t you see I am
reconnoitering in the enemy’s uniform?
Don't make a noise; I shall be back
directly,”
And he walked quietly away until
out of the picket’s sight, then ran as
nimbly as he could.

Country Press and the Farmer.
Hartwell Sun.
In an audience composed mostly of
members of the Farmers’ Union, one
of the speakers recently expressed the
mutual friendship existing between the
Charlotte Observer.
Every mother who has a hoy at
school is naturally interested in both
the progress he makes in his studies
and in the manner in which he is treat
ed by his teacher.
The Cleveland (Ohio) Plain-Dealer following words:

for awhile and oblige his mother.”
Unique as is this letter, it can be
capped by one received hy a lady of
Wilmington a teacher in the public
schools of that city—from the mother
of one of the boys in her department.
The boy owned a goat and was in the
habit of devoting much of his time out
of school hours in playing with the an
imal, his chief amusement being to
take a goat-back ride every morning
before school, which fact was forcibly
impressed on the teacher and members
of his class through their olfactory
nerves on his entrance into the school
room. The teacher wrote a note to the
mother of the boy, requesting that he
be required to change his breeches
after riding the goat before coming to
school. In reply the boy’s mother sent
the following note to the teacher,
which, we understand, is filed among
the “archives of gravity” in New
Hanover county:
“Dear Ma’am—Johnny ain’t got but
one pair of pants, and besides he ain’t
no rose anyway, and besides that John

Here was shown the independence

keep up the public school, and who,
therefore, was above any and all petty
school regulations.
farmer and the home newspaper in the aversion to the church, which he was
never known to attend, although he did
not object to his wife and children do
ing so. The following story concerning
him was related by Deacon Kimball, of
the Baptist church, in that quaint old
farming town.
A new minister had just been settled
over the parish, and, being very zealous
in his work, had started out to make
some pastoral calls and get better ac
quainted.
Driving up to Mr. Smith’s house, he
found the farmer standing in his yard
and said to him, by way of introduction,
that he was the new minister and would
like his permission to have prayers with
the family and would be glad to have
him join them.
The old farmer replied, with a twin
kle in his eye; “Yew know, elder, the
bible says we must ‘watch and pray.’
Now, I’ll tell ye what we’ll do. Yew
go in the house and pray, and I’ll stay
out here and watch.”

“The man or the paper that fights
my battles shall have my support. An
other thing, the merchants advertising
are the ones that make it possible for
us to get a good local paper.
“The man or local firm that is too
penurious to advertise and help support
the local press has no right to the far
mer’s patronage.
“I promise hereafter to go to the
live advertiser and the man who does
his share in supporting the local press

to buy of a man who proposes to take

the other fellow would soon go out of

CURES
• MALARIA
Squared Himself With Jim.
A negro was hanged in a prison not
many hours’ journey from the city not
long ago. For several months prior to
his departure he had been visited by a
faithful friend who brought him chick
en, ’possum, sweet potatoes, cigars and
other things.
The bearer of these good things seem
ed to be under some trouble. It was sus
pected that he had some intimate knowl
edge of the crime for which the other
was to be hanged. The secret came to
light on the morning of the hanging,
when one of the guards overheard this
conversation between them:
“Now, Jim, didn’t I done do every
thing 1 could for you?”
“Yes, Bill, you sho has Tu’filied all
ob yo' obligations an’ squared counts
fo’ dem crap games, an’ I sho’ is
'bliged to you. ”
“And, Jim, does yo’ swear that yo’
won’t comean’ ha’nt meafteryo’s done
gone an' been hanged?”
“No, Bill, Yo has sho' acted like a
man an’ a brudder, an’ I ain't low down
mean ’null' to han’t yo’ now; but if yo’
hadn’t brung me dem things when I
told yo’I sho’would hav’ ha’nted yo’
every night of yo’ life, an’ don’t yo’
forget it.”
When a cold becomes settled in the

ment to cure it, and the best remedy to
use is Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
It will cure quicker than any other, and

healthy condition. Sold by all dealers.

“Won’t you step up an’ jine us in a
glass o’ ginger pop, sir?” said Bill Gran
ger, generously, to old Si Hayseed at
the crossroads store. “I just sold a six
weeks old calf for $9, an’ I don’t mind
being a little reckless. What do you
say to a ginger pop?”
“Much obleeged, I’m sure, Bill,’’said
Si, “but the fact is, ginger pop
ruther goes to my head, an’ 1 better let
it alone.”
“That so? Well, what do you say to
a glass of sody?
Like to have you join me in some
thing.”
“Well, Bill, sody sort o’ stings my
throat an makes me sneeze. But if
you’re bound to stand treat you might
git ginger pop fer th’ other boys and if
it’s all the same to you I’ll take fi’

an’ if you’d as soon I took the nails as

Dr. R. A. Torrey, the evangelist, was
dining at a Philadelphia house when the
talk turned to Plaster millinery.
In his ready way Dr. Torrey used
this topic as a peg whereon to hang a
little lesson.
“Some people, ” he said, “can plant
a sting in the pleasantest remark.
Most of us only care to wound when we
are angry, but these folk, the bane of
s >cial life, are continually inflicting
causeless stabs.
One of these people, a woman, met
another woman, who is elderly, yester
day.
“ ‘Now this is pleasant,' said the el
derly woman, after a few minutes’ chat.
‘You haven’t seen me for eleven years,
and yet you knew me at once. I can’t
have changed so dreadfully, can I?’
“ ‘I recognized your bonnet, ’ said the
first woman.”
A little girl aged 3 had been left in
the nursery by herself, and her broth
er arrived to find the door closed. The
following conversation took place:
“I want to turn in, Cissie.”
“But you tan’t turn in, Tom.”
“But I wants to.”
“Well, I’se in my night gown, an’
nurse says little boys mustn’t see little
girls in their night gowns.”
After an astonished and reflective si
lence on Tom’s side of the door, the
miniature Eve finally announced trium-
pnantly, “You tan turn in now, Tom
I tooked it off!” *

LETTER
Malaria is a species of blood poverty known as anae
mia. It is a condition in which the circulation is so
weak and impure that it is unable to supply the system
with sufficient nourishment and strength to preserve
ordinary health.
The medical profession is divided in opinion as
to the manner in which malarial poison gets into the
blood. Some take the position that it is an atmospheric
poison, the specific germs of which are breathed into the
lungs and thus transmitted to the circulation. Others
advance the opinion that persons become inoculated with
the poison through the bites of mosquitos. All however
agree that MALARIA is a blood affection, and any treat
ment to successfully overcome it must not only purify
this vital fluid, but at the same time add the necessary
qualities of richness and strength to tile circulation.
The malarial poison destroys large numbers of the rich, red corpuscles
of the circulation, and the peculiar paleness of anaemic persons is due to this
fact. In the first stages of Malaria there
is a bilious condition of the system,
constant bodily weakness, poor appe
tite, and a “no account, ” tired feeling.
S. S. S. searches out and destroys
every particle of malarial infection and
builds the blood up to a healthy, nour
ishing condition. Then the system re
ceives its required nutriment, the bright
red corpuscles begin to multiply in the
circulation, sallow complexions grow
ruddy and flushed with health, the liver
and digestion are righted, the appetite
improved, and the system vitalized and
refreshed in every way. S.S.S. is a safe
and pleasant remedy as well as an effi
cient one. If you have Malaria we will
be glad to have you write us describing
the case. We will send free our book on the blood and at tlie same time our
physicians will give von some medical advice that will be of great service to
you in curing yourself with S. S. S. No charge for the book or advice,
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA»
A PHYSICAL WRECK.
During- 1900 I was running a
farm on the Mississippi River,
and. became so impregnated with
malaria that for a year afterwards
I was a physical wreck. I took a
number of medicines recommend
ed as blood purifiers, chill cures
and malaria eradicators, but noth
ing did me any good Until I began
to use S.S.S., which I did about a
year ago. The result was that
iifter taking several bottles of the
large size I was as well and strong
as 1 ever was, and have never had
a chill since. I expect to take
S.S.S. every year as apreventive,
and would advise everybody else
to follow my example.

HERE IT IS
What Dropping Water Can Do.
One of the Chinese modes of punish
ment is to place the culprit where a
drop of water will fall on his head for
hours, or even for days if he can stand
it so long. The torture this inflicts is
proved by an experience that Col. Fred
Burnaby had in Vienna several years
ago. A school teacher bet him that he
would not be able to let a pint of water,
drop by drop, fall on his hand. Burnaby
laughed at the very idea of his not being
able to stand it, and the test began.
Although the strong man talked and
jested gayly at first, it was not long be
fore he began to show signs of distress.
At about the two hundredth drop—for
the school teacher kept tally—an ex
pression of pain crossed his face.
When the third hundred had been en- :
tered his hand began to swell and grow
red. Then the skin burst and the pain
grew more and more excruciating. Fi
nally, at the four hundred and twentieth
drop, Burnaby gave up and acknowl
edged himself beaten.

For more than a week the teacher
had been giving lessons on the dog, and
so when the inspector came down and
chose that very subject there seemed
every prospect of the class distinguish
ing itself on brilliant essays about our
canine friend. Things were progress
ing quite satisfactorily, and the master
was congratulating himself on the
trouble he had taken, when, alas! a
question was asked which made him
tremble for the reputation of his schol
ars.
“Why does a dog hang his tongue out
of his mouth?’’ asked the inspector.
“Yes, my boy,” he said, to a bright
looking lad who held up his hand, while
the light of genius was in his eye.
“Please, sir,” cried the pupil, “it’s
to balance his tail!”
And the teacher groaned in anguish.
