Where Old Lady Wanted Let

A portly Dutch woman applied to
the post office for a money order to
semi to her son in the far East. She
told the clerk she had left her son’s
Setter at home, but said he was “some
place out in China, dot sounds like der
noise an automobile makes.”
The clerk smiled, and turning to an
•tiaer nearby, he said: “What kind
nf a noise does an automobile make,
Jeer
“Honk, honk !” the other suggested.
“Yah, dot’s It,” explained the wom
tm, her face brightening. “Honk honk,
dot’s der place.”
St» the clerk made the order payable
to Hongkong, and the woman went
away happy. .

NOT AT ALL BAD REASONING
Few Have Real Confidence in Advice
That Is Handed Out by Acknowl-
edged Failures.
Harold Bell Wright, the novelist,
said in an after-dinner speech in San
Francisco:
“After all, success—financial suc
cess —is the best proof of a book’s
merit. All good books, from ‘Robinson
Crusoe’ down, have had phenomenal
success—made hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
“We all know this is true about
financial success. We are all like the
tramp who asked the old gentleman
for the price of a glass of beer.
“ ‘I have no money,’ the old gentle
man said, ‘but I will give you a little
advice, friend.’
“The tramp lit a cigarette butt and
blew a contemptuous puff of smoke
into the ch! gentleman’s face.
“ ‘Well, if ye ain’t got no money,’
he said, ‘yer advice can’t be very
valuable.’ ”

“The poets of yesterday held that
there was music in the tinkle of cow

“And the poets of yesterday were

I realized how unmusical a cowbell
could be.” —Birmingham Age-Herald.

ENTHUSIASM HIGH |
AT COTTON MEET
-ORMER CONGRESSMAN I EVER,
WANNAMAKER, BROWN, NIX-
ON AND OTHERS SPEAK
STATE NEW£OF INTEREST
Brief N^ws Os Importance Gathered
From All Parts Os
The State
Macon. —Representative farmers and
business men from all sections of the
state gathered at the city auditorium
here to perfect the state organization
of the American Cotton Association.
A number of speeches were made by
prominent leaders of the movement,
including former Congressman A. F.
Lever of South Carolina, J. Skottowe
Wannamaker of St. Matthews, S. C.,
president of the organization; Com
missioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown,
R. L. Nixon of Washington, D. C.,
special agent of the United States bu
reau of markets in charge of ware
house operations and others. Governor
Dorsey called the meeting to order and
presided at both morning and after
noon sessions. Much enthusiasm was
developed and the local organization
of more than half of the counties in
the state was reported, but owing to
the fact that many of the delegates
were compelled to leave early in the
afternoon' in order to catch trains, or
ganization of the state was deferred
for a later meeting to be called at a
near date in Macon. ■ Former Con
gressman Lever struck the keynote as
to the purpose of the organization
when he declared that he would never
be satisfied until conditions of living
in the country bad been made equal
to that in the city by giving the farm
er a higher return for his labor, and
thereby enabling him to take his wom
en out of the fields and to educate
his children. The movement from
farm to city might be checked and by
that way only, he said.
False Report Stops Speaking
Atlanta. —The address of Vice Presi
dent Thomas R. Marshall came to an
abrupt end at- the auditorium when a
false report was received to the ef
fect that President Woodrow Wilson
had passed away at Washington.
Some one claiming to have the news
from press reports had the speaker
called to the telephone by the mes-1
sage that President Wilson had just I
died and that he was wanted on the i
long distance telephone from Washing- i
ton. So shocked was he by the mes
sage that he was speechless for a mo
ment,' then muttered “I cannot believe
it.” The audience felVthat something
dreadful had happened and waited
anxiously to be informed. Then C.
J. Haden, who had been called to the
door from the stage by a police officer
and who had interrupted Mr. Marshall
to give him the report, said: “News
has just been received from Washing
ton that President Wilson is dead.”
Governor Dorsey announces that the
state will pay a reward of SIOO for
the arrest of the perpetrator of the
hoax.
Brunswick Will Try Commission Plan
Brunswick.—Brunswick is to give
the commissioner-manager form of gov
ernment a trial. This was decided on
at the election for aidermen held re
cently, when the candidates pledged
to a change in the form of govern
ment were overwhelmingly elected and
the commission form was practically
the only issue in the campaign. The
four men elected, T. E. Hampton, M.
L. McKinnon, C. A. Averitt and J. G.
Harvey, while elected for a term of
two years, have announced their in
tention to retire as any time that the
commission form may be put into ef
fect, and it is the general belief that
the change will be made on January
1, 1921.
Savannah Budget Totals $2,000,000
Savannah. —The tentative budget for
1920 as outlined by the city council
of Savannah totals more than two mil
lion three hundred thousand dollars,
almost twice the budget of expendi
tures for the present year. The total
new improvements contemplated
amount to almost eight hundred thou
sand dollars. This included a quar
ter of a million for vast improvements
and enlargements of the city market.
It may be, however, that a special
bond election will be called for the au
thorization of $350,000 in bonds for the
new market.
Dorsey Speaker For Waycross Elks
Waycross. —Governor Dorsey has
accepted an invitation to deliver the
memorial address for the Waycross
lodge of Elks. This service will be
held on Sunday, December 7.

Education Campaign On In Terrell
Dawson.—Teachers engaged in the

ers’ association were elected as fol
lows: J. W. Richardson, Parrot, pres
ident; W. A. Wheeler, Bronwood, vice

mans, secretary and treasurer .

I Early Xmas Shopping Urged
Atlanta.—The plea that you “do your
Christmas shopping early” collies from
Bolling H. Jones, postmaster of At
lanta. He said: “I want to impress
upon the minds of the people the real
necessity of mailing Christmas pack
ages early if they want them to reach
their destination on time. Malling
packages early relieves later conges
tion, does away with the probability
of damage in transit and insures the
package reaching its destination In
plenty of time.” Mr. Jones also stated
that inscriptions will be permitted on
the outside of packages, provided no
personal messages are thus trans
mitted. Such things as “Merry Christ
mas,” “Do not open until Christmas,”
and others that may occur to more
original min<ds may be used freely.
Duckworth Denies Murder Confession
Americus. —Attorneys for Sam Duck
worth, alleged self-confessed wife
slayer now held in jail here, have giv
en out a sensational statement in
which the accuracy of the confession
Sheriff Harvey declares Duckworth
made before him and one or more
other witnesses, is denied. It is now
claimed Duckworth’s alleged confes
sion was caused by the officers mis
interpreting the statement made by his
client to the effect “if you say I did
it I was drinking and don’t recollect
what I done, and if you have the
evidence to prove it like you say, then
I did it,” or words to that effect.
Georgia Baptist Women End Meeting
Macon. —The annual convention of
the Baptist Women’s Missionary Union

in the $75,000,000 campaign. Officers
named for the ensuing year are: Pres
ident, Mrs. W. J. Neel, Cartersville;
vice-president, Mrs. George Westmore
land, Atlanta; divisional vice-presi
dents, Mrs. Charles Cater, Quitman;
Mrs. D. B. Hamilton, Rome; Mrs. F.
W. Withers, Fort Valley; Mrs. E. K.
Ovrestreet, Sylvania; Mrs. W. C. Trib
ble and Mrs. W. H. Prior, Greens

Rolfe-Epps Flying company, of this

cently purchased by himself and Ben
Epps from the government. It is the
purpose of the Rolfe-Epps Flying com
pany to establish an aviation train
] Ing school in Athens and to instruct

i ger service between Atlanta and
Athens.

will be trebled.
Potato Exploded; Man Wounded
Savannah. —G. A. Jepson, a freight
conductor, resident of Savannah, was
literally shot by a sweet potato in
Waycross several days ago, as strange
as that may sound. While eating a
big yellow yam, the tuber exploded,
a small dynamite cartridge having
been in some unexplained manner im
bedded in the Porto Rican potato. The
conductor was slightly wounded.
Savannah To Get Great Radio Station
Savannah. —The mayor of Savan
nah has offered the government a site
on the Ogeechee road, near the bat
tery, for the erection of a powerful
radio station, which is proposed by
the radio division of the navy to be
installed here. The site is said to be
satisfactory and a high-power station,
with a communicating range of 1,500
miles, will likely be erected in the
near future.
