News was received by Newnan rela
tives yesterday of the death of Mr.
Wingfield Wolfe, a former well-known
resident of this city, which occurred at
his home in Atlanta, following a long
illness. Mr. Wolfe was for several years
cashier of the First National Bank and
married here, his wife being a daugh
ter of the late Jos. Pinson. He re
moved with his family to Atlanta over
thirty years ago. He was about 75
years of age, and is survived by five
children—three sons and two daughters.
His remains will be brought to Newnan
for interment, arriving on the 10:40
train from Atlanta to-morrow (Satur
day) morning.
Mr. J. L. Poole and his associates
have leased extensive pasture lands out
near the waterworks, erected barns,
and provided other facilities for the
conduct of a first-class dairy. Twenty-
three graded Jersey milch cows have
been purchased, and ten or fiften more
will be added during the coming month.
In fact, it is the purpose of the com
pany to establish a dairy that will meet
the demands of our growing town, and
there is every promise that it will
prove a profitable business. The dairy
will be under the management of an
experienced dairyman, and will be made
thoroughly sanitary in every respect.

Wonderful Cough Remedy
Dr. King’s New Discovery is known
everywhere as the remedy which will
surely stop a cough or cold. D. P. Law-
son of Edison. Tenn., writes: "Dr.
King’s New Discovery is the most
wonderful cough, cold and throat and
lung medicine 1 ever sold in my store.
It can’t be beat. It sells without any
trouble at all. It needs no guarantee. ”
This is true, because Dr. King’s New
Discovery will relieve the most, obsti
nate of coughs and colds. Lung troubles
quickly helped by its use. You should
keep a bottle in the house at all times
for all the members of the family, 50c.
and $J. All Druggists or by mail. II.

John Hammond, a white man living
on the old Whitaker place near Cooks-
ville, was called out of his house early
Wednesday night and shot. It is claim
ed by Hammond’s wife that her father,
John McCau, did the shooting, and was
accompanied by Jep Brand, another
neighbor. These men were arrested
and brought to jail by Sheriff Taylor
yesterday. Both men deny the charge.
At first it was reported that Hammond
was Seriously hurt and could not sur
vive, but later reports are to the ef
fect that his wounds are in the thigh
and stomach, and are only slight flesh
wounds, although inflicted by a shot
gun.—Franklin News and Banner, 16th
inst.
The parcel post made heavy inroads
upon the business of the Southern Ex
press Co. at this point last year. Ac
cording to a statement prepared by Mr.
W. I. Holmes, agent at Newnan, the
company's revenue fell off $2,761.23 in
1913, as compared with the receipts for
1912. With this showing he went be
fore the City Council Monday night and
asked for a reduction of the license tax
of $150 per annum which the company
has been required to pay heretofore.
He also called attention to the recent
action of the company in reducing rates
on interstate shipments fully 50 per
cent., the effect of which will be to
still further decrease the receipts of
the Newnan agency. The City Council
took the matter under advisement.
Geo. Carlisle and Joe Rutland, negro
tenants on Mr. Bird Tompkins’ place
near town, got into a dispute Sunday
over a debt of 10 cents claimed by Rut
land to be due him by Carlisle. A fight
followed, in which Carlisle was pretty
badly bunged up. They were separated,
and both then went off to get their
guns, declaring they would fight it out.
When they came together shortly af
terwards Carlisle shot Rutland in the
leg, severing an artery, and the wound
ed man bled to death before a physician
could reach him. Coroner Cook was no
tified of the killing and held an inquest
Sunday afternoon, the jury returning a
verdict that Rutland had come to his
death from a gunshot wound at the
hands of Carlisle, and that the same
was murder. Carlisle was arrested b
Sheriff Brewster and lodged in jail
where he will be held for the grand
jury. ^
Major W. A. Turner, the Nestor of
the Newnan bar, while he was in the
active practice, was a great orator.
For nearly a score of years he has been
on the retired list. His retirement
however, was voluntary, as he is still
hale and vigorous, though he has
reached beyond threescore and ten
years. As one looks back across the
hills of life memory brings many a
heated legal conflict in which he par
ticipated. The writer first remembers
him when he appeared in the Tobe Tur
ner trial. He represented Turner, and
his speech in that trial was one of the
greatest ever delivered in the court
house. In later years I heard him
make many other speeches, full of fire
and eloquence. Ripe in years and good
deeds, he has fought a good fight
and is patiently and gracefully spend
ing the years.—Judge H. H. Revill, in
Meriwether Vindicator.

Newnan High School Now on South
ern List of Accredited Schools.
The Commission on Accredited
Schools of the Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools recent
ly met at Knoxville, Tenn., and selected
the list of Southern accredited schools.
The commission consists of three men
from each of the thirteen States of the
South. Each State committee consists
of the Professor of Secondary Edu
cation, another a member of a college
faculty, and a high school principal.
Applications for a place on the South
ern list were received from leading
high school in each State. The schools
were inspected during the first months
of 1913.
For the year 1912-13 there were sev
enty-three (twenty-Bix private) accred
ited four-year high schools in Georgia,
Newnan being one of them. Up to that
time the Newnan high school had not
been fully accredited.
The Southern Commission selected
only nineteen from the seventy-three
four-year schools in Georgia for the
Southern list, and the Newnan high
school is one of that number. New
nan is now ranked in the same list with
Athens high schools; Columbus high
schools; Tubman high school and Rich
mond academy, at Augusta; Chatham
academy, at Savannah; Gordon Insti
tute, etc.
Graduates of all high schools on the
Southern list will be admitted to any
college or university in the South with
out examination, and full credit will be
given for all work done in the high
schools of which they are graduates.
This is a splendid showing for the ef
ficiency of Newnan’s public school sys
tem, and an equally pleasing acknowl
edgment of Superintendent Armis-
tead’s ability as an executive, as an or
ganizer, and as an untiring and enthu
siastic worker for higher educational
standards. To be one of nineteen
schools selected for this honor from
among all the high schools in Georgia is a
distinction for Newnan which should be
appreciated by every citizen of the
town.

nesses shown us upon the occasion of

assurances of sympathy in our bereave

“Why did you take Elnora away
from schbol, Aunt Mahaley?” a lady
asked her cook one day. Aunt Mahaley
sniffed scornfully.
“’Cause de teacher ain’t satisfac
tory ter me, Mis’ Molly. What vou
reckon she tell dat chile yistiddy? She
’low dat IV spell four, when even a
idjut ’ud know dat it spells ivy.”
Freddy, while marching out in line
at Bchool one day, stumbled and came
near fallipg. The pupilB who saw him
began to feiggle.
“Freddy,” said the teacher, sternly,
“was that an accident?”
“No, ma’am,” said Freddy, earn
estly, “it was a splinter.”
Having a wife who sits down on him
occasionally is a wonderful help to a
man’s self-control.
Many a man’s wisdom is taken for
granted because of the smart things he
doesn’t say.
Weak Kidneys Often the
