DORSEY AO AIN CONFUSES JUS
ENEMIES.
City npwHpapern and political apeilera
that had been ‘‘viewing with alarm”
the threatened entry of Hon. Hugh
Dorney into the race for the Hovcrnor-
ship, and who havt* been continually
“knocking” him aincc hia announce
ment, nre showing aigna of increased
aberration as the daya go by. The
doughty solicitor's connection with the
Frank case haa been urged aa the main
reason why he should not enter the
campaign. Then there were dark hints
that he was being secretly boosted by
the liquor interests, and was a bad,
h-a-d man to have in the Governor's
office, etc. Finally Mr. Horsey's de
tractors mnde the discovery that thi
law firm with which hia name is con
nected had been retained by the Louis
ville Bnd Nashville railroad as associate
counsel in some special litigation affect
ing the present status of the State
itoad, and they held up their hands in
horror at the prospect of having a rnil-
rond lawyer at the head of the State's
affairs. This Inst charge was thought
to be a sockdologer hut it didn't
“sock” worth a cent. And this is the
reason why: Replying on May 115 to a
letter from the editor of the Logans-
villo Record, in which the writer sought
to ascertain Mr. Dorsey’s attitude on
certain issues likely to figure in the
present campaign, the latter defined
his position on the question of the sug
gested sale of the State Road us fol
lows :
“You may test assured Hint I will
never agree to the sale of the State
Road, except o\ er a veto."
Iloth Hardman and Pottle have an-
nounoed their opposition to the sale of
the State Hoad. Gov. Harris thinks it
is a question that should bo carefully
considered. But Mr. Dorsey goes
farther. If, by any chance, n Legisla
ture favorable to the sale of this magni
ficent property should be chosen, and a
bill providing for the sale should pass,
Mr. Dorsey says he would veto it. This
effectually squelches the last charge
brought by the nnti-Dorseyites, and
leaves them so flabbergasted they
linven’t been able to lift their voices
since.
LOCALS DROUGHT FORWARD
An examination of our list discloses
the fact that among the one hundred
and odd school teachers in Coweta not
one in five are subscribers to theircounty
paper, and yet they are constantly
writing the County Superintendent of
Schools for information that is printed
from time to time in The Herald.
Funny, isn’t it?
Mrs Thus. J. Jones left Monday for
Cocoa, Fla., having been called to that
place bv the illness of her father, Mr.
J. W. T. Gibson. His Newnan friends
will regret to know that Mr. Gibson
bail a Htroke of paralysis on Saturday
last. While his onditlon is serious, he
was doing fairly well, according to ad
vices received yesterday by relatives
here.
Mr. E. S. Buchanan surprised the
editor yesterday by laying upon hiH
desk a few deliciously ripe peaches.
These were the very first of the season,
and came from a tree in his orchard
which commenced bearing just 13
months from the time it was set out.
It is known as the "Nevermiss” varie
ty, and the most perfect early peach
heretofore known in this latitude.

while the service is excellent.

Over three hundred people were pres
ent at Lee Purk Wednesday afternoon
when the league pennant won by the
Newnan club last season was unfurled
to the breeze. It wus un enthusiastic
crowd, and the enthusiasm was meas
urably heightened when Newnan
trimmed the visiting team to the tune
of !> to 8. Sad to relate, the visitors
met the same fate yesterday. Too bad;
still these out-of-towners should learn
to pluy bull before going out on the cir
cuit.
A large crowd heard Hon. William
Jennings Bryan's lecture at the Senoia
Chautauqua Tuesday. It wus a brilliant
and forceful presentation of the gospel
of peace, as opposed to the prop
aganda for “preparedness,” of which
we have heard so much during recent
months. He was introduced by Hon.
W. C. Wright, who referred to the dis
tinguished Nebraskan as “the nation’s
foremost orator, and the most eloquent
peace evangel the present generation
has known."
Those going to Senoia Tuesday to at
tend the Chautauqua were Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. Wright, Mr and Mrs. F.
B. Cole. Dr. and Mrs. /,. Greene, Mr.
and Mrs. Marvin Starr, Miss Evelyn
Wright and her guest, Miss Mary Fortof
Danville. Messrs. H. H. North, N. L.
North, E. M. Cole, D. T. Manget,
Garland M. Jones, L. A. Perdue, R. K.
Power, Joe Bilbo, I. P. Manley and
Jus. E. Brown. It was “Homecoming
Day,” and most of those in the party
were formerly residents of Senoia.
Miss Annie Taylor, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. W. 11. Taylor, has won the
four-year scholarship at Brer.au Col
lege, Gainesville. Miss Taylor has been
a fine student throughout her school
life, and the honor is one well deserved
Brenau College ottered twelve scholar
ships, and Miss Taylor was one of the
three successful competitors.—Gritfin

Miss Taylor is a niece of Mrs. Lily
Bevis and Mrs. E. R. Whatley, of this
city.
The new prohibition law requires ex
press and railroad companies to report
to the Ordinary all liquor shipments
passing through their bands, together
with the names of persons to whom
consigned. These names are kept in a
record, which must be open to inspection
at all times. This puts a lot of addi
tional work on the Ordinary, yet the
law provides no compensation for the
extra service. The truth is, the Ordi
nary is required to do more gratuitous
work than any other county official.
Just why this is so no one seems to
know.
Girl pupils in the domestic science de
partment of the East Newnan school
engaged recently in a bread-baking con
test, and on the closing day of the term
the awards were made. Miss Eunice
Jackson was given a prize for the best
cornbread, and Miss Mattie Goodroe
was similarly rewarded for the best
biscuits. Misses Gertrude Reynolds
and Mattie Vi Summers were the
judges. Mrs. J. Errett Hyde, county-
agent of home improvement work,
took a lively interest in the contest,
and was present when the awards were
announced.
Newnan will figure right prominently
at the National Republican Convention
in Chicago next week. Two of our
leading colored citizens will be on hand
— “Candy” Reid as f delegate from the
tizen
is k
Jackson faction, and Thompson Wheat
as an alternate from the Johnson fac
tion. The contest as to which delega
tion shall he allowed to take part in th<*
deliberations of the convention will
have to be settled by fhe National Ex
ecutive Committee. P. S. —Since the
above was written the committee has
ruled in favor of the Jackson delegates.
Billie Burke will appear at The Hal
cyon Monday, June 12, in h“r great
screen triumph, “Peggy ” This pic
ture has played three return engage
ments in Atlanta, and it is with pleas
ure that the management of The Hal
cyon can present, such a picture to its
patrons. A small fortune was paid
Misa Burke for the making of this pic
ture. There is a love story running
throughout that will hold everyone to
the last minute, while the finale of the
story is worth the price of admission
alone. The picture will be in seven
reels, and no one can afford to miss it.
Mr. J. H. McKnight, of Senoia, mem
ber of the county board of tax equal
izers, was knocked down Monday after
noon by an nutomobile driven by Dr.
Frank Welch. Mr. McKnight had just
stepped from the sidewalk in front of
the Newnan Banking Co. and started
across the street when the car turned
the corner and struck him before he
realized his danger. He was thrown to
the ground and right painfully bruised,
but fortunately his injuries were not
serious, and in the course of an hour or
so was able to return to his duties at
the court-house. The accident appears
to have been unavoidable, and was
much regretted by Dr. Welch.
Mr. Hal Bohannon and Miss EulaLee
Majors, daughter of S. N. Majors of
Ft. Payne, were married at the home
of the latter Wednesday in the presence
of a number of relatives and invited
guests, Rev. J. I). Bethune officiating.
The marriage took place in the front
yard of the home, and many presents
evidenced the popularity of the bride
and the esteem of her friends. The
groom is a business man of Newnan,
Ga. The bride has been a successful
teacher in this and other counties for
years. Immediately after the wedding
the couple took the northbound train
for Newnan, the home of the groom,
where they will reside in future.—Ft.

NEWNAN ASTONISHED BY SIMPLE
MIXTURE.
Newnan people are astonished at the
INSTANT action of simple buckthorn
hark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in
Adler-i-ka. ONE SPOONFUL re
moves such surprising foul matter it
relieves almost ANY CASE of consti
pation, sour stomach or gas. Because
Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH lower and
upper bowel, a few doses often relieve
or prevent appendicitis. A short treat
ment helps chronic stomach trouble.

The sort of impression to be made in
