Now, Mrs. Atkinson being not only a very live woman, but a highly educated lady, with all the qualifi cations necessary for such a posi tion, I, with all Carroll County, come cheerfully, willingly and very earnestly to her assistance, and humbly request the Governor to give her the appointment. Now, we should all be interested as to who shall be our next gov ernor. Of course we want a good man, who is competent and wor thy. If we take into consideration the man who is most capable, in every sense of the word; who has done most for, and shown his sym pathy for all classes of citizens, one in whom we could all feel proud, knowing the high esteem in which he is held all over the Unit ed States, we do not hesitate to mention the Hon. Clark Howell.

The Italian was driving through the country in a two-horse wagon, in which were his wife and six small children, lie stopped at Mr. Davis’ place and began to help himself to some cherries, growing near the road. Mr. Davis went out to the road and ordered him to move on. The Italian cursed him repeatedly, struck him once with his whip, drew a pistol and threatened to kill him, and also threatened to blow up Mr. Davis’ home with dynamite. Finally, Mr. Davis left the ing Miss Raiford Snead aS Princi pal, with the hearty endorsement of hor entire corps of teachers, consisting of Misses Witt Mose ley, Gertrude Hollis and Myrtis Sanders, in literary department, and Miss Dorothy Scott, in music.

He upon whom all mankind is dependent for the real staff of physical life, is now indeed a very busy individual. In fact he is the 1 albumen of our existence—a real necessity. His absence from town these days is very conspicuousjbut the corn patches and numerous broad cotton fields are receiving the benefit of his presence. The seasons of sunshine and rain have been very favorable to this part of the country—the rains have not been so frequent nor so heavy as in other places.

Seeing this, the Italian urged his horses into a gallop and disappeared down the road. A warrant was immediately secured for the Italian,and he was followed and arrested by Bailiff Smith. He was found at a late hour Sunday afternoon, about 3 1-2 miles from Mr. Davis' home, and was brought to Newnan and lodged in jail. The Italian’s trial before .lustice A. H. Bohanan, Monday morning, was an interesting affair. He claimed to be a traveling photo grapher,without friends or money; and concocted a clever story as an explanation of his conduct on the j! evening before.

Seeing that if the Italian was placed in jail, tried and convicted, his wife and children would be come a burden on the county, a number of prominent citizens urg ed Mr. Davis to agree to allow the offender to be released on his own recognizance. Finally this dispo sition of the matter was agreed up on, and the Italian was released with the injunction to get out of the country. This he proceeded to do at once. The man is evidently a desper ate character; and Mr. Davis’ friends are congratulating him on escaping from the encounter with out injury. BOOK ON CALIFORNIA organization.
