The following complimentary mention of Capt. Americus Mitcnell, whose chatming wife was formerly MisB Mir iam Atkinson, is from the Honolulu (H. T ) Commercial-Advertiser of May 21, and will he read with interest by their Newnan friends— “Company A, of the Twenty fifth In fantry, Schofield BarraekB, commanded by Capt. Americus Mitchell, in its re cent record target practice made one of the most remarkable showings ever made by a single company in the Uni ted States army. When scores were figured it was found that out of the comp'ement of 150 men, sixteen had qualified as expert riflemen, twenty hb sharpshooters, and forty as marksmen. This record may have been exceeded, but it would take deep delving into archives to find a better showing. Men of the companv give all praise to their commanding officer for his instruction, which made tne remarkable Bhowing possible.” LOCALS BROUGHT FORWARD. June 30 will mark the close of “Un cle Sam’s” fiscal year, and revenue sgents are now engaged in collecting the special taxes levied under the em ergency A*t passed by Congress last year and which went into effect in November. This Act brings under levy a large number of new taxpayers, deluding dealers in tobacco, pawn brokers, commercial brokers, commis sion merchants, theatres, concert halls, moving picture shows, bowling alleys, pool rooms, manufacturers of tobacco, cigars, etc. Better get info communi cation with the Internal Revenue Col- le.tor, Atlanta, and find out just wh**re you stand and what taxes you are lia ble for.

A es ^ e . r ^ a y. afternoon, at the Baptist urch in this city, the first meeting of representatives of the Baptist Sun- y-schools erahraced in the Western Association was held. C. W. SharmaD, Newnan Will Have Auto Fire Truck. The City Council has been negotiating for some tim with the American-La- France Fire Engine Co., of Elmira, N. Y., for the purchase of an auto fire truck for the use of the fire depart ment. Last week the company sent one of its machines to Newnan in charge of an expert from the factory to give a demonstration of the good points claimed for it. The machine was sub jected to all sorts .of tests, and more than fulfilled the claims made for it. Members of the City Council were so much pleased with the performances of the remarkable fire-fighting apparatus that they agreed to an appointment with the company’s representative for Monday night to consider any proposi tion he might make, discuss termi, etc. At this meeting the matter was gone into thoroughly, and an agreement was reached under the terms of which Coun cil placed an order for one of the com pany’s beet machines. The machine purchased has a capacity of 750 gallons per minute, throwing three streams at once, and cost $9,000. Half of the pur chase price is to be paid next fall, and the balance in the fall of 1916 Deliv ery is to he made in ninety days. With this valuable addition to the equipment of the fire department New nan will not only be afforded more ef fective proteciion against fire loss, but the city will be entitled to lower insur ance rates. That the city has made a good investment there can be no ques tion. With this machine installed no town in Georgia will be more efficiently equ pped for fire protection. Chautauqua Only Few Days Off. Chautauqua is not the name of a pat ent medicine, nor the designation of a cheap vaudeville performance. The name is derived from Chauta qua Lake, New York, on the shores of which Bishop John H Vincent thirty or more years ago assembled the people for popular instruction. ThiB was the be ginning, indeed, of the university ex tension lecture system. It was the commencement, too, of a great nation al platform on which the best men of the country may deliver a message. Wm. J. Bryan, John Wanamaker, United States Senators, Congressmen, reformers and eminent divines spe-k from this platform, arid indorse it as a forum of the people. The lecture bu- I reaus are supplementing the lyeeurn rjsti-m v.ith the Chautauqua method of I popular entertainment. 1 The Radcliffe Attractions of Wash- | ington. D C , will appear in Newnan I June 22, 23 ar.d 24. They wiil bring | here men who Know how to talk, wo- j men w‘.o are gifted in dramatic and ‘ musical expression, and magicians who j will delight the children. If you expect clowns instead of ar- l tists, vulgarity instead of art and pio- I priety, an exhibition of cheap vaude ville "rather than high-class artistic representations of life, don’t attend the Chautauqua. You will be disap pointed. If you would listen to the presentation of high civic ideals that make for the unity, purity and prosper ity of the community, then purchase n season ticket r.ov l'ur $1.50, and attend every session. It you are n grouch, and discouraged, and med help, attend the Chautauqua and get a new hold on life. Tne ch„u- tauqua people are a cheerful, optimis- tic company of ladies and gentlemen. Preachers, teachers, partnis, citi zens, hoys and girls, lawyers, doctors, business'men—all will nnd refreshing inspiration in this three-dav programme of sunshine, life, wit, wisdom, and in formation. Not only does the Chautauqua en tertain, but it deals definitely with streets and schools, and homes and public institutions. Come and have a hearty laugh. All classes will be en- tertuined. Come and feel the pulse- beat of this interesting and wonderful age in which We live. The exercises will open on the after noon of J une 22 and will close on the night of June 24. Maudlin Sentiment. Madlunn Munition Win. All of this slush and bosh concerning thHt angel of puritv. (?) Leo M. Frank, is nauseating and disgusting to those of our people who believe in upholding the law. It is the outgrowth of that maud lin sentiment that makes a h j ro of ev ery murderer, and would adorn with a royal robe and a crown of glory every man upon whose brow is branded the mark of Cain. This sentiment, at present from Maine to California, and from the great lakes to the gulf —seems to center around the murderer of poor little Mary Phagan, whose form nas perhaps returned to dust, and who has been forgotten. It is fostered by a gigantic Blush fund, used in bribing newspapers, influencing Legislatures, employing lawyers, and writing thousands and thousands of "endleBS chain" letters in behalf of Frank. Georgia mii't handle this caBe in her own way. Why should the Legisla tures, newspapers and people of other States sit in judgment upon our courts and juries and the verdicts thereof? Frank has had a fair trial. The verdict has been upheld by the highest courts of the land. Justice demands that he be executed according to law—this maudlin sentiment in his favor to the contrary notwithstanding. Sudden Death ol Judge C. S. Reid. Atlanta Constitution. S.h inst. 4fter being on the bench of DeKslb Superior Court at Decatur throughout the day, Judge Chas. S. Reid, of the Stone Mountain circuit, was stricken with heart, failure aB he reached his home at 6 o’clock, and succumbed about m'dnignt. At the morning session of court Judge Reid delivered.to the grand jury what waB declared to be one of the most im- oressive and able charges ever heard from that bench. He spoke at length of the disturbance among the warring nations of Europe and drew a contrast with the peaceful state of affairs in this country. During the day Judge Reid appeared to be in the best of health, and when he walked home, accompanied by Geo. M. Napier, he did not complain of feel ing ill. For many years Judge Reid had been prominen’ly before the p*i lie eye in this section, serving in the Legislature from Campbell county, and later in the Senate. In November, 1913, while Solicitor- General of the Stone Mountain circuit, he was appointed Judge of the circuit by Gov. Slaton, to succeed the late Judge L S. Roan, who removed to At lanta. For the convenience of the law yers of the circuit Judge Reid removed o e year ago from his old home at Pal metto to Decatur. Judge Reid wus 55 years of age and was born near Blairsville. Besides his widow he is survived by three daugh ters, Misses Katherine, Ethel and Grace Reid. —Mr. E. M. Owen, of Chalybeate Springs, hus built a handsome gasoline river boat and brought it overland to Mooty’s bridge, where it was launched Monday. Mr. Owen expectB to bring it to Franklin as rapidly as he can pick a way through the shoals, and then figures on locating and making a channel for running it regularly be tween Franklin and the A , B. & 4. railroad at AbbottBford. The vessel has a capacity of about ten tons, and will run in fifteen inches of water with a load. With only a little work at a few places in the river a good channel can be made. An enterprise of this kind would be a fine investment fi r Franklin, and would supply almost the freight advantages of a railroad line.— Franklin News and Banner.

It Is written of one of the most eminent of Englishmen who was dic tating to bis amanuensis chapters of an important work, and while so en- gageo was overcome by Bleep. He dreamed of matters of great moment, of diplomatic conferences, exhausting many days and weeks. Becoming awake he chided his secretary for per mitting him to Jeep, and was astound ed to be told by the scrivener that be had not finished the last sentence that had been dictated. Volumes have been written crammed with such ex periences in infinite variety. Wonderful Cuban Caves.

Beyond the land of the Berbers, in the far south of Morocco, lies the great oasis of Tafllet, famous for itB vast groves of date palms. Here, for hundreds of square miles, the land is covered with a thick growth of the tail, straight stems of the palm, and the product of these close-growing trees is enormous in quantity They produce the finest dates In the world. Skunks Enemiea of Caterpillars. A new field of usefulness has been found for the much-ridiculed skunk in the fact that it is a vigorous enemy of the full-grown range caterpillars. Birds are of no service whatever In destroy ing these large caterpillars, but skunks devour quantities of them, and thiB is another reason why these little crea tures should receive more considera tion than they now do. The Honor of the Boy Scout. The most important scout virtue is that of honor. Indeed, that is the basis of all scout virtues and is closely al lied to that of Belf-rcspect.
