PUT L. MM FARMER
ON RAILROAD COMMISSION
Successful farmer and business man,
and one of long legislative experience,
Mack L. Johnson, of Bartow, asks the
support of Georgia voters for state
railroad commissioner, in place of Mr.
Candler who is not a candidate.
He stands for a .square deal for every
person and every interest in Georgia,
and for full control of rates within
the state, by its own commission.
Bartow County’s commissioners
unanimously commended his splendid
service to agriculture and the com
mon schools. He fought through, after
four years of hard effort, the law ex
empting farm products from taxation
for one year, while in the producer’s
hands; and his successful efforts for
the common schools are matters of
Georgia history. He has been devoted
and untiring in his work for Georgia’s
Confederate Veterans.
Supt. L. C. Evans of Cartersville’s
public schools, tells in a leter of his
giving S4OO a year for all time to come,
to buy free schools books for Bartow
county’s needy children.
Railroad Commissioner Boifeuillet
recently wrote of him: “He has splen- .
didly represented his immediate con- i
stituents in ths House of Representa- 1
tives for many years, admirably served
the whole state of Georgia, and has <
been particularly zealous in watching i
after the farming interests of the com
monwealth.” s

MEN OUTRUN WILD HORSES
Santo Domingo Indians of New Mexi
-1 co Are Probably the Champion
Long-Distance Travelers.
In the days of the “Wild and Woolly 1
• West’’ plainsmen and travelers by
1 overland wagons held to the belief
that a long journey could be made
! more speedily by man afoot than on
1 horseback. In the army the impres
[ s’on is general that the infantry can
I out-travel the cavalry on long, grind
ing marches, but to the Santo Dornin- '
| go Indians of nortli Mexico belongs !
the credit of chasing wild horses over :
the ranges of bills until the animals
are exhausted and submit to capture. '
j No marathon runners have ever
J been recruited from this tribe of Pu- ■
i eblo Indians, for the wonderful powers ■
: of endurance of the runners of the
‘ tribe are little known outside of the
district immediately surrounding their
village.
These runners of the Santo Dornin- j
ft go come from a race of- fleet-footed
ancestors. Like all tribes of American .
Indians, they have accepted the means i
of traveling best suited to the coun- ,
try where they live. The Sioux of the I
Dakotas are horsemen. The Santo ■
Domingos have been walkers and run
ners always. Their physique shows
- the result of generations of footmen.
Great chests, almost abnormal in de
velopment, slope downward to slen
der waists, while sinewy calves pro
claim the strength to hold to a hard 1
trail.
Usually their chases of the bands of
1 wild horses owned by the tribe are ;
matters of necessity. The enormous I
stretches of broken country where s
the horses graze, and the unfamed ■
spirits of animals, many of which ;
have not been touched by man in their >
several years of existence in the hills, •
make it necessary to wear the crea
tures out and run them down. —New
! York Herald. .
African Savage Passing.
The natives of South Africa are no :
longer the savage with spear arid
shield that we are accustomed to pie- i
ture when the name of some tribe is ।
.' mentioned. Like the Indian that once I
pursued the buffalo in Kansas, the
savage of Africa has fallen before the ;
trend of civilization.
In a letter to friends in this coun-i
try, Bishop W. T. Vernon of the Af
rican Methodist Episcopal church,
who is now in Johannesburg, South 1
Africa, tells of the passing of the'
savage and that the modern native is i
anxious to obtain an education, learn i
a trade and take his place among the ■
f civilized people of the world.
Bishop Vernon did not find condi- |
tions in Africa so different from those I
in the United States. The housing:
conditions, says the bishop, are as ■
acute, if not more so, than in Amer- i
ica.
Nothing.
A ragged and dejected child, with i
• an untidy baby- on iter knee, looked |
up as the district visitor entered the |
room.
“Are you alone?” asked the lady.
“Yes.”
‘■Where is your mother?”
“Hospital.”
"And your father?”
"Don't know.”
"Good gracious! Does Ite do noth- '
ing to support you and your mother?” ;
“Yes.”
"What does he do, my child?’’
“What you said —nothing 1”
Two by Two.
It was Sunday morning and the car
was crowded witli persons on their
way to church.
At one stop, an elderly man with a
beard got on. A three-year-old piped
tip shrilly, and pointed to him excit- 1
edly. The father’s face flushed, but
he succeeded in quieting his young
daughter. Two blocks further on an
other man, wearing a beard, got on.
This time all the passengers around '
caught the words of the tot, and this ;
is what she said: "Oh, look, father, |
there’s another man with a tail on his I
face."
What He Wished.
They were buying the sen and heir a
new pair of shoes. Father had ex-1
pressed the usual wish that lie eould .
buy a pair -rtf number IDs as cheaply I
as number 3s, and mother had ex
pressed the usual hope that the new
shoes would last a long while.
"And I wish,” said the youngster,
"that you would buy me a fun: ball so 1
that I eould have some use for my new
shoes Milwaukee Journal.
All Sorts.
“You say your magazine is intended
