NEW NAN, FRIDAY, JAN. 21.
A Correction.
A
In printing the acconnt last week
In printing tne acconnt last weeK of
the killing of little Andrew Young at
St. Charles by the accidental discharge
of a gun in the hands of Wilbur Fuller,
the statement was made that Fuller
playfully pointed the gun at the Young
boy, not knowing (or forgetting) that
it was loaded. Since our report was
published we learn that Fuller gives a
different version of the accident. Ac
cording to his statement, he had gone
to the front door of Braswell’s store
for the purpose of removing the loaded
shell from his gun, and while in the act
of pulling the gun around to unbreech
it the hammer caught in his clothing
somehow and was discharged. He de
clares that he did not see the Young
boy until the gun was discharged and
he heard the little fellow cry out that he
had been shot. He is naturally much
distressed over the accident, as are the
members of his family, and there seems
to be no reason for questioning his ver
sion of the deplorable affair.
We were in error also in stating that
young Fuller was the only son of a wid
owed mother. There are four other
brothers, all older than himself.
Was Pleased With Newnan.
W. C. Woodall in Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
It is interesting, even surprising, how
quickly we get used to anything and
regard it as a matter of course. A new
railroad, a new skyscraper, a newly-
paved street, a new church or a new
court-house is a living sensation for the
first day or the first week, and then
passes into the sober and prosaic realm,
or'accepted fact. The writer could not
help pondering over this a bit a day or
two ago while riding over the Central
of Georgia’s extension from Greenville
to Newnan. One of his first assign
ments as a newspaper reporter, 15
years ago, was to considerately extend
this very same road to Atlanta over
this very same route; but the actual
laying of the rails and driving of the
spikes did not occur until a dozen years
later, which did seem to be a long time
to defer carrying out a suggestion that
was made in perfect good faith.
%
Lutherville and the other towns on
the extension regard the railroad just
as if it had been there 1,000 years, more
or less; the newness wore off after the
first few weeks. And, traveling along
the line, it just seems natural and right
that a railroad should be there, and, try
as you can, you can’t imagine that
there was ever a time when there was
not a railroad there. Speaking of Luth
erville, it is a fine, substantial little
town, and how such a place sprang up
out there in the country, just dry so,
before there was ever a sign of a rail
road in' that vicinity, is yet to be ex
plained.
Raymond, five miles southeast of
Newnan, at the junction of the lines
from Columbus and Griffin, is a new and
hustling town that seems to think that
Opportunity is now ringing clamorously
at Its front door. All sorts of enter
prises have been projected for Ray
mond, and while a good proportion of
them are still in the airy, fairy stage,
quite a number have materialized and
the place already has numbers of busi
ness buildings, a bank, and a street or
so of nice residences.
It may be years before it is done, but
eventually a magnificent hotel is going
to crown the summit of Pine Mountain
at the place where the steel rails of the
Central road, after a long and patient
climb, reach the top of the range. Tip-
Top is the name of the place, and it is
a tip-top view, too. The scene from
the car-window as the train makes the
long, slanting trip up the mountain is
one of superb beauty. Every time one
makes this trip he feels thankful that
the engineers chose this route for the
road, for it does look that if their one
purpose had been to give the passen
gers a long, full and satisfying view of
the valley far below, the opposite
mountain range and the hills interven
ing, they could not have succeeded bet
ter. There are few views in the most
rugged portion of North Georgia that
surpass it.
used in about half the Cases—that Ib,
among -the,white people. The gentle
man whs asked how this mode of bu
rial was being received among the coun
try people, and he said that vaults of
this character had been introduced in
quite a number of communities in that
section of the State and are now being
uBed in the country almost to the same
extent as in town.
Pay Ihe Teachers Promptly.
Savannah News.
Gov. Jos. M. Brown is exerting him
self to give the school teachers their
salary money at the easliest possible
moment, and he is doing remarknhly
well at it under the circumstances. But.
more promptness in payments is highly
to be desired, and it is the business of
the Legislature to provide the means to
the end. Members of the Legislature
do not have to wait for their money, or
“shave” their pay certificates. They
are paid “on the nail”—they see to that
all right. Now, why shouldn’t the
teachers be accommodated in precisely
the same manner? The teachers work
hard, and with intelligence, for small
compensation. They are worthy of their
hire, and ought to have it when it is
due. Loansharks and “note-shavers”
would be sorry to see the teachers paid
promptly, but we are not interested in
their welfare. We all want to see the
teachers placed in a.position where they
can look a note-shaver straight in the
eye and tell him to go to—any old
place.
Register While You Can.
Macon Telegraph.
Those white Georgians who have not
regiscered should do so at once. This
new law has a patent clasp to it which
will catch you if you don’t watch out.
Long before the primary campaign for
legislators, for Governor and State
House, officers, opens up the books will
close; the patent clasp will do the busi
ness for you, and when the election
comes you will be left out in the cold
with the freedmen and white derelicts.
Better attend to that little matter
while there is yet time and opportunity.
The voting time is a good way off, but
the closing date under the new law
draws near. You do not care much
about it now, but when the time comes
you will want to vote. Better put your
self in position to exercise 1 your right
to vote. Do not neglect it. Do not be
a white derelict.

Old Time Gaa Charges.
The price of gns In the early part of
the last century is Ehown by a sched
ule of charges issued by the Liverpool
Gaslight company in the year 1S17.
Instead of sp much per cubic foot be
ing levied each individual burner was
charged for. and the price varied nc.
cording to the hour nt which the light
was to be extinguished. Thus for
using one No. 1 Argand burner up till
8 p. m. £3 per annum bad to be paid.
For the right to keep it alight until 0

Newnan, where the writer had the
pleasure of spending a day, is one of the
most substantial and prosperous little
cities in Georgia. It is its boast that
nearly all its enterprises were estab
lished and are being operated by home
capital, the list being headed by the big
R. D. Cole Manufacturing Company,
whose boilers and tanks fire sold
throughout the country. This compa
ny, by the way, has been building one
of its large tanks away up in New
Hampshire this winter, and it is said
that the weather has been so severe
for the- past two months that the work
men have been practically unable to do
anything on the job at all. Now, we
can’t conscientiously brag on ’ the
weather in Georgia for the past month,
but it does seem that it could be worse,
judging by this New Hampshire inci
dent, and of course the psychological
effect on one when he learns that some
body else is worse off than he is, is to
improve and brighten his own feelings,
1 wonderfully.
Not long ago the statement was pub-
lisned that Newnan is the fourth rich
est town, per capita, in the United
States, and whether or not this is strict
ly accurate, it is an evident fact that
the Coweta county capital is substan
tially prosperous. The mercantile in
terests are large, and the town claims
several manufacturing plants of con
siderable magnitude. As a matter of
fact, that is one of the finest sections
of Georgia. In the section surrounding
Newnan are a group of progressive and
hustling littlbx towns, and the amount
'of improvement going on in some of
them is an eye-opener. It is a fine ag
ricultural country, and, as is always the
case, the prosperity among the farming
class is contagious and has spread to
town.
Among the manufacturing enterprises
at Newnan is a plant devoted to the
making of cement burial vaults and
other similar products. I asked the
proprietor if tnese vaults were coming
into common use in that city, and he
yeplied that of the burials in the white
cemetery there last year cement vaults
were used in one-third of the cases.
He thinks that this year vaults will be
Insincerity.
“Our civilization demands a greater
or less degree of mendacity,” remark
ed the abstruse person. "We are con
stantly encountering some empty
phrase, some conventional renin rk.
which Is absolutely devoid of sincer
ity.”
"That’s right” answered the book
agent. “That’s perfectly true. I am
reminded of It every time I walk up to
the front step where there Is a door
mat with the word ‘welcome’ on it.”—
Washington Star.
What’s In a Name?
One summer a distinguished member
of the French academy rented a cot
tage in Savoy, and when the time
came for his return ta Paris he went
to say farewell to the owner of the
cottage, a prosperous farmer’s wife.
“I hope you will write your name in
my album before you go,” she said.
"With pleasure," he replied, and, tak
ing a pen, be wrote his name in the
book.
"Thanks,” she said, “hut won’t you
please tell me your profession, so thai
I can write it after your name?”
“Oh, put down ‘landowner.’ ’’ he an
swered.
“But. that isn’t a profession,” she
said.
"Well, then, put down academi
cian,’ ” was his answer.
This word seemed to puzzle her,
and therefore he asked, with a smile,
“Don’t you know what an academician
is?”
“Not quite,” she answered, "but it’s
such a long word that the profession
must be a splendid one.”
