THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
If there i* a fallen hero in this land
or any other land, in thia a^e or any
other age, that individual in Theodore
Roosevelt. Ten years ago he was per
haps one of the most popular and most
admired men in America. To-day he
shuts himself up at Oyster Hay, a mys
tery to his friends, a paradox and a
puzzle to his former admirers, and re
garded with contempt by honest men
of all parties.
That which gave him his hold on the
esteem of the American people was the
belief thut he was honest, independent
and fearless that he was anything else
but n political time-server and self-seek
er. Hut his whole course since he came
home from his African hunt and his
ovations in Europe has been erratic; it
has been a series of acts and words
which contradict every assumption of his
political, not to say personal, honesty,
lie sought the Republican nomination
for the Presidency in 1912. Failing to
get it, he defeatnd and well-nigh
wrecked the party that had trusted and
honored him. He wantod the nomina
tion this year. Failing to receive it, or
to have any weight in the Republican
convention, he deserts the friends who
have stood so faithfully by him and re
fuses to do what he might do to perpet
uate the life of a party that he called
into being.
"I am outof politics," he says. What
a pity he did not stuy out when he left
the White House in 1900! The one
great service ho lias rendered the Amer
ican people since he ceased to be Presi
dent wns perhaps unintentional, viz:
He helped to put Woodrow Wilson into
the White House.
A clash between Carranza troops and
a scouting party of the Tenth U. S.
Cavalry on Wednesday last resulted in
the killing of twelve Americans and
more than twice that number on the
Mexican side. Seventeen American
soldiers were cuptured by the Mexicans.
Responsibility for the attack upon the
U. S. troops is being investigated, and
if it can be established that the Mexi
can troops were acting under orders
from Carranza war with Mexico is cer
tain to follow. In order to be prepared
for such a contingency President Wil
son has ordered the mobilization of one
hundred thousand troops of the Nation
al Guard, and other preparations are
being made to meet the impending
crisis. Full details of the battle re
ferred to above, and the causes which
provoked the clash, are yet lacking.
Roosevelt put up a stiff bluff at
Chicago, but the old bellwethers of the
g. o. p. would have none of him. When
they called his bluff he just squatted
down and left his followers to get out
of the mess the best way they could.
“Peace, Prosperity and Prepared
ness" is the Democratic slogan for this
good campaign year.
LOCALS BROUGHT TOR WARD
It is announced that Hon. M. J. Yeo
mans, of Torrell, will introduce a bill
at the coming session of tho Legisla
ture to move the State Experiment
Station from Grillin to Athens. This
has been tried before, but the effort
failed, and should fail again. The
varied schemes of the University
crowd to build up Athens at the ex
pense of other towns of the State is
mighty poor politics, and is doing tho
University no good. The station is
now centrally located and easily acces
sible from every quarter, while Athens
is about the most out-of-the-way point
in Georgia. The Legislature should
kill the Yeomans bill so dead that it
cannot be resurrected. Tho University
junta may learn, when it is too late,
that it cannot put up just any sort of
job on the public and get away with it.
The authorities of Coweta county are
advertising for bids on a contract to
erect a bridge across the Chattahoochee
river at the Moore’s ferry site. Such
a bridge is a necessity and should be
built, and we suppose that the author
ities of this county will join in and help
build it.— Carrollton Times.
We are glBd to hear our Carrollton
contemporary talk like this. There can
tie no question as to the need of a bridge
to unite the two counties, and we are
equally sure that the site chosen is the
proper one. Two big counties like
Coweta and Carroll cannot afford to
haggle over the cost of a uniting link
that means so much to the people on
both sides of the river. Fact is, the
bridge should have been built long ago.
That Carroll will do her part no one
doubts. She alwa ys does.
One gratifying outcome of the pow
wow at Chicago the other day is the per
manent elimination of Roosevelt as a
factor in national affairs. In his hours
of solitude he will have ample time in
which to meditate upon the uncertain
ties of political life, and to revile an
ungrateful public for dropping him just
when he had girded himself to stir the
nation to revolt against the peace pol
icies of the doddering mollycoddle now
enthroned in the While House.
Hon. Garland M. Jones announces
this week for re-election as a member
of the General Assembly. It has been
understood for some time* that Mr.
Jones would be a candidate to succeed
himself, and that he will be returned
practically without opposition is
agreed upon all Bides. His candidacy
is invested with special interest just
now from the fact that he is looming
up prominently for the Speakership of
the next House, with every chance in
favor of his election. His acknowl
edged leadership and usefulness us a
member of the present body has
brought him into enviable prominence
throughout the State, and it is gratify
ing to his home people to know that his
candidacy for the Speakership is being
favorably received in all quarters.
Coweta had the l\onor of furnishing a
Speaker in the person of the late W.
Y. Atkinson, and it looks now as if this
honor will come to us again.
Tar Notice. — Many persons subject
to a special tax under the laws of
Georgia seem to be under a mi‘ap
prehension regarding the time when
taxes are due, or when they should be
paid. All Bpecial State taxes are due
at the beginning of the year, or when
ever the business is begun that re
quires the payment of a special State
tax. If not paid when due delinquents
are subject to double tax or imprison
ment, in the discretion of the court.
(See AcIh 1909, page 60, section 5.) A
number of persons subject to special
tax appear on my books as being still
delinquent in this matter, and I trust
this notice will be understood as fair
warning to all. I did not make the
laws, but it is my duty to enforce
them, so far as my office is concerned.
Don’t blame me if you have trouble.

Tax Collector.
Over one hundred lady visitors regis
tered at the County Club rest-room dur
ing tho month of May—and yet the City
Council cannot see its way clear to
making a small appropriation to help
this useful institution along. At its
meeting Monday night a modest sum
was requested to enable the good wo
men in charge of the establishment to
make some improvements designed to
to render the building more comforta
ble, (and more presentable as well,)but
it seems there is a provision in the
city’s charter which prohibits the ap
propriation of money except for sala
ries, schools and public improvements.
Well, if the conversion of this public
eyesore into a really attractive resort
is not u "public improvement," and one
deserving encouragement and support,
those terms have a poor meaning. A
charter that prohibits the city from
giving aid to so useful an institution as
a public rest room for out-of-town la
dies who come here to do their shop
ping is defective and should be amended.
At the late exposition held at San
Diego, Cal., one of the stunts pulled
off for the entertainment of the crowd
was u mimic bombardment from air
ships manned by trained aviators from
the North Island Army Aero School.
One of the aviators taking part was
Lieut. B. M. Atkinson, concerning
whose exploit the San Diego Sun of the
11th inst. says: "Just at 12:26, with a
whirring and a roaring two birds of
war, manned by Lieut. B. M. Atkin-
sou und Sgt. W. C. Ocker of the North
Island Army Aero School, swooped
down upon the exposition and, with
‘bombs’ that were California oranges,
stormed ‘Fort Non-Advertiser, ’ the Ad
Men’s enemy, until it was theoretically
completely demolished. The thousands
on the grounds witnessed the work of
the destroyers of the air, and by popular
acclaim voted to them the medals of
fered by the Ad Men for the destruc
tion of the enemy's stronghold.” It
will interest Lieut. Atkinson’s Newnan
friends to know thut he now holds the
rank of captain in the aviation service,
with the prospect of plenty of work
ahead in case we have war with Mex
ico, now seriously threatened.
Since Roosevelt's retirement to Oys
ter Bay he has ’’closed up" like the
sulky moliusk from which his gloomy
retreat takes its name He won't even
talk to reporters-something unheard
of before he was datiened out at Chi
cago.
Carmichael-Phagan.
One of the prettiest affairs of the
season, and one of much interest to
their many friends, was the wedding of
Miss Tommve Rosebud Carmichael and
Mr. Howard Artemus Phagan, of Rock
Hill, S. C., Tuesday evening, 20th inst.,
at the home of the bride's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. T. H. Carmichael, of Moreland.
Mis. Phagan is one of Coweta’e most
popular and talented young young wo
men, having graduated from the Wo
man’s College at Due West, S. C., in
1911. She is the second daughter of Mr.
and Mrs Carmichael, and granddaugh
ter of the late Oliver B. Carmichael
and Margaret M. Hunter, both origi
nally of Newberry county, S. C.
Mr. Phagan has been connected with
the Victoria Cotton Mills, of Rock Hill,
S. G.. for the past five years, and is one
of the most popular young men of that
city. He finished his education at Ers-
kine College in 1911. The wedding was
the culmination of a romance begun in
their college days.
The country home of Mr. and Mrs.
Carmichael was decorated in white and
yellow, using quantities of field daisies
and brown-eyed susans, and was lighttd
with yellow tapers.
The ring ceremony was impressively
S erformed by the Rev. W. H Millen.
lendelssohn’s "Wedding March" was
rendered us a duet by Misses Susan and
Margaret Carmichael, sisttrsof the
bride. Miss Susan Carmichael playing
"Consolation" during the ceremony.
Mr Phagan. attended by his brother.
Mr. Knox B. Phagan. of Rock Hill, as
best man, entered first, followtd by
Master Thomas Alfred Addy, nephew
of the bride, carrying the ring in the
heart of a yellow rose. Then came Miss
Juliet Humphries, of Donalds, S. C., as
maid of honor, followed by the bride
with her sister. Miss Macie Carmichael,
as the other maid of honor.
The bride’s blonde beauty was strik
ingly enhanced by her suit of dark blue
taffeta over a blouse of tlesh-colored
crepe-de-chine. worn with a handsome
black hat and grey shoes and gloves.
Shp carried bride's roses, showered
with lilies. The maids of honor wore
white organdie trimmed with yellow
lace and ribbon, and carried white car
nations tied with yellow tulle. The lit
tle ring-bearer was very handsome in a
suit of white.
Shortly after the ceremony Mr. and
Mrs. Phagan left for Atlanta. From
there they will go to Chattanooga, Fay
etteville. Tenn., and other points. Af
ter the first of July they will bo at
home in Rock Hill.

How America's largest cigarette manufac
turer accomplished “the Impossible” by
producing a MILD cigarette that SATISFIES.
It is the Chesterfield Cigarette : ;
ALMOST anybody can make a cup
of coffee. But there ere said to
be not over a half-dozen restau
rants in the United States where they
know how to make it right.
Similar!/, almost anyone can make a
cigarette. Just roll up some tobacco in a
piece of pure paper—and there you are.
There are, perhaps, over 800 brands
of cigarettes sold in this country today.
But not one of them does what Chester
fields do—for Chesterfields are MILD ;
and yet they SATISFY.
Some cigarettes may be mild, butthey
don’t satisfy. Only one cigarette does
BOTH—Chesterfield!
This truly unique cigarette lias all
of that refreshing taste - delicacy (or
mildness) which any good cigarette must
have. Yet, without sacrificing any of
this delightful mildness, Chesterfields go
one step further — they do more than
merely ‘‘please your taste” they let
you know you’ve been smoking. They
satisfy !
And yet they’re mildl
A Step Forward
in Cigarette - Making
ARE proud to be the firm that
* ' brought about this important
development in cigarette enjoyment—
lor that is exactly what the Chesterfield
blend is.
This cigarette is an outgrowth of
long, earnest effort on the part of this,
the largest cigarette manufacturing con
cern in the United States.
The mild, yet satisfying Chesterfield
blend is not the result of happy chance.
It is one of the results of our many years
of cigarette experience — of the heavy
volume of our purchases of cigarette to
bacco — of the prestige and advantage
these enormous purchases give us in se
curing the choicest leaf front the tobacco
fields of the world.
Chesterfields are an achievement,
A New Thing
for a Cigarette to Do
f^HESTERFIELDS do the one thing
you have always wished a cigarette
would do—they satisfy !
Smoke them and we believe you will
find that ordinary cigarettes seem by
comparison almost flat.
Give Chesterfields a trial. We
believe you will be glad to learn
what they can teach you about
cigarette enjoyment.
* ★ ★
You have been reading here some
rather unusual, almost daring, state
ments about a cigarette. If Chesterfields
were an untried cigarette — if we had
not been observing their behavior in
other cities—if we did not KNOW that
they make good with smokers, we could
not afford to make these statements to
you over our signature.
But these statements, strong as they
are, can mean little or nothing to you
until you have actually smoked your first
Chesterfield.
You will find that your own dealer
has Chesterfields waiting for you.
