TITTLE MISS PIG.
“See me skip!” said Little Miss
Pig one fine spring morning. “I be
lieve I could keep up until the sun
gees dowr:” ‘T believe you could,”
said Mr. Rooster, as he stopped peek
ing among the straw. “You do it
very well.” “Three, four, five,” smil
ed little Miss Pig. “There’s Mrs.
Duck in the gateway. Call her to
gee me skip.” So Mr. Rooster crow
e¢d, and vp came Mrs. Duck, followed
by all her little ducklings. “Nine, ten,
eleven,” cried Miss Pig. ‘“There’s Mr.
Turkey walking by the hedge. Call
him to see me skip.” So Mr. Rooster
crowed and Mrs. Duck quacked, and
up came Mr. Turkey. *“Eighteen,
nineteen, twenty,” panted Miss Piz.
“I see the Red Calf feeding in the
.meadow. Call him to see me skip.”
So Mr. Rooster crowed, Mrs. Duck
guacked and Mr. Turkey gobbled, and
up ¢ame the Red Calf. “Twenty-five,
twenty-six, twenty-seven,” said the
skipper. “Very, very good,” ecried
the crowd And they all began laugh-
Ing with delizht. “Twenty-eight,
twenty-nine—" But before Miss Pig
could say “thirty” she gave a little
cry of fear, for ICarlo, the watchdog, |
had walked at that moment into the
yard. Down went the skipping rope,
and off went Miss Pig, followed by
Mr. Rooster, Mrs. Duck and her chil
dren, Mr. Turkey and the Red (Calf,
just as fast as they could go. The
noise they made was heard a mile
away, and poor ¢ld ‘Carlo, who meant
no harm, sat down with his ,ears
pricked up, wondering what it wag
all about.—Washington Star. b
HAILSTONES IN MISSISSIPPIL
“Big as Eggs” Variety Outclassed by
Big as Baseball Sort.
A shower of chunks of ice from the
size of an egg to that of baseballs
falling slowly at first and then in
creasing until it was coming down
in sheets, so to speak, fell with a
roar and din upon this peaceful and
compactly built town and smashed
window lights by the score at 4

praying and laughing .and crying at
the same time, and promising to
lead better lives in the future.
The cloud, a green one, came from
the west. There was no rain, and
just ‘a slight breeze blowing, which
tilted the downpour just enough to
amash glass exposed on the west side
of buildings. All the stores face west,
but the costly plate glass fronts were
protected by 'good stout awnings. Even
these awnings of heavy tin and cor
rugated iron were smashed and dent
ed and cut through in places. The
roof of Wilbourn’s store and that of
the big lumber sheds were turned into
sieves. The slate roof on the depot
is almost ruined on the west side.
Heavy plate glass upper story win
dows of the stores and residence win
dows by the score were smashed;
poles were knocked through some
shingle roofs and they were all more
or less damaged.
Live stock caught out simply went
wi'd, and the writer saw a bunch“ef
horses go through a barb wire fence
without hardly checking their gait.
One cunk of ice that fell in front
of the drug store measured six inches
from tip to tip, four and one-half
inches in diameter and weighed six
ounces. Most of the hail was cone
shaped, resembling pineapples some
what and much of it was as large as
small pineapples, running in weight
from three to six ounces.
The community was visited at 7
o’clock by a severe wind and rain
stonm, which did but little damage.
No rain fell before, during and until
three hcurs after the hailstorm.—

Close-Watched Signals. :
Each man on a team has his pr!-
vate signals with the batters wao
precede or follow him, and the bat
ter, receiving orders from tune man
ager, signalg the base runner exactly
what to do. Last summer, while thao
Chicago team was badly crippled and
changing the batting order almost
every day, Sheckard reached firgt
one afternoon and Chance was follow
ing him, says a writer in the Amer:-
can Magazine. Ag Chance came to
bat he was swinging two bats, and
he tossed one back of him with his
left hand. On the first ball pitched
Sheckard attempted to steal and was
thrown out. “What did you go down
for?” demandeq Chance later. “I
thought 1 got the signal.” said Sheck
ard. “I didn’t give any signal.” “Well,
you tossed that bat away with your
left hand, and you usually throw it
with your right, so I thought you’d
made a new ‘signal while I' was ocut
of the game.”
Sheckard’s blunder shows how
closely every movement of a batler
is watched, not only by his fellow
vlayers. but by his opponents,
FOLKSTON, GA,, JULY 1, 1909,
JOSEPH M. BROWN | INAUGURATED
New Governor Takes the Oath‘
Before Brilliant Assemblage. |
State’s New Executive Avoids Demon
stration By Eluding the Big Crowd.
Appointments Announced.
Atlanta, Ga.—ln the presence of
the state officials of Georgia, legisla
tive, executive and judicial, and the
largest crowd that ever filled the hall
of the house of representatives, Jo
seph Mackie Brown took the oath that
qualifies him to discharge the duties
of the chief executive of the state dur
ing the next two years.
The oath was administered by Chief
Justice William H. Fish of the su
preme court of Georgia, at the conclu
sion of the inaugural address. Then
Hoke Smith delivered to Joseph M.
Brown the silver dies of the great seal
of the state, and a new page had been
turned in Georgia’s political and ofii
cial history.
It was a dramatie, pulse-stirring mo
ment when the two men faced each
other, the one to receive from the oth
er the insignia of power and execu
tive authority. The silver dies, usu
ally carefully wrapped in ‘¢hamois
and kept in the office safe of the sec
retary of state, lay in the open hand
of Governor Hoke Smith. f
There was a silence that was al
most oppressive as the man who had

e P
just' concluded a term as governor,
and the man who entered upon a new
term, completed the formality of the
delivery of the seal. >
No word was .spoken, but with ex
ceeding gravity Hoke Smith handed
the seal to Joe Brown, who bowed
low to receive this visible insignia
of power, ‘
Then the enthusiasm of the friends
and supporters of Governor Brown,
who packed the hall, broke forth. The
cheering continued for several min
utes.
In the same order in which they
had entered, the actors .in the day’s
historic event retired from the hall a
half-hour later. Governor Brown was
followed to the executive office by
probably two thousand friends, who
filed through the office and shook his
hand. '
As he retired from the hall of the
house, Governor Brown was accom
panied by Mrs. Brown, who stood by
his side during the official reception
and shook hands with the governor’s
friends. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Smith
also assisted in receiving the visitors.
Mr. Smith was the manager of Mr.
Brown’s successful campaign for the
nomination,
Every inch of space in the house
was occupied when the hands of the
clock pointed to the hour of noon.
The whirring electric fans and the
waving palms in the hands of visitors
and legislators testified to the wilting
heat. Hundreds who could not gain
admission to the hall where the ex
ercises were being conducted, crowd
ed the corridors of the capitol,
Promptly at noon Governor-elect
Brown entered the hall on the arm
of Representative Hall of Bibb. Gov
ernor Smith entered with Senator Ru
dicil of the forty-second. The other
members of the inauguration commit
tee of the two houses followed. They
were Senators Callaway of the twen
ty-ninth, Morris of the eighteenth and
Repregentatives Anderson of Chat
ham, Garlwington of Richmond, Dan
fel of Cobb and McCutchen of Heard.
Next were the ex-governors of Geor
gia, Joseph M, Terrell, Allen D. Can
dler, W. J. Northen and Henry D. Mec-
Danfel. Following them were the fed
eral and state court judges.
Last came the justices of the su
preme court and the® judges of the
court of appeals, who found places on
the speaker’s stand. The members of
the family of Governor-elect Brown
and his personal escort had seats in
front of the stand on the left of the
speaker.
In addition to the official party and
the invited guests of the persons who
were taking conspicuous part in the
proceedings, several hundred other
persons crowded into the chamber.
The galleries were packed, and the
corridors outside thronged with per
sons seeking to gain admission. Ev
ery available inch of space was oc
cupied.
It required frequent appeals from
Pres!lent Slaton and even a threat to
clearithe center aisle, before a path
way gould be made for the judges of
the ' supreme court to enter. Finally
the g&dges wormed their way through
to the stand.
ASs' Governor-elect Brown arose and
faced *the crowd he was greeted with
cheeg,h. Frequently during the deliv
ery Of his brief inaugural address, he
was stopped by cheers and applause.
The !presiding officer made no at
tempt to stay the eanthusiasm. Once
or twice a partisan’s cheer for “Hoke
Smith” recalled the stirring scenes
of le, campaign which- had been
fought and won.
The governor-elect spoke in an ear
nest, deliberate and forceful manner.
He imtvoked the blessing of God and
dediefited himself for the next two
year§ to the service of the state.
Atithe conclusion of Mr. Brown's
inaughral address he announced, I
am nbw ready to take the oath of of
fice."® Chief Justice Fish of the su
prem@ court of Georgia, administered
the I@quired oath.
Mr@ Brown rejected the Bible regu
larly @used in the house and held in
his liind a small Bible, covered with
brows leather. It was the gift of his
fathell and bore on the fly leaf the
inscription, “Presented to Joseph M.

- FIREMENS’ STRIKE SETTLED.
Arbitrators Announce (Their Decisions
i on Pointsiat Issue.
Allanta, Ga~—Negroes will continue
firing on Georgia Railroad trains,
This was the chief point decided
by the arbitrators in the well-known
Georgia strike case, Chancellor Da
vid C. Barrow of the University of
Georgia and Hilary A, Herbert, ap
pointee of the Georgia road, concur
ring, and T. W. Hardwick, appointee
of the firemen, entering a dissenting
opinion,
On a number of other points the
Georgia firemen win, The firemen had
contended for the same wages to be
paid the negro firemen and the white
firemen. This was granted by the ar
bitrators, 3
The firemen had urged this scale
of wages because they were of the
opinion that if the road had to pay
lthe same wage, it would prefer to
‘hire white men, who are admittedly
more intelligent, and who alone can
become engineers, the negroes heing
barred. At the present time the ne
groes are employed as firemen bhe
cause they work for less money, so
the Georgia employes say,
It was agreed by the anbitrators
that firemen in line of promotion to
the position of engineer shall have
three years’ experience before being
promoted to that position and shall be
promoted in the order of their senior
ity, provided they are able to pass
all reasonable requirements and ex
aminations. If they fail to pass their
examinations or refuse to pass, they
will be reduced to freight service
without losing their seniority. Failing
in thelr second examination, they will |
be reduced to the bottom of the ex- ‘
tra list,
It was agreed that all hostlers shall |
receive their present rate of pay; as
sistant hostlers shall be considered
as yard firemen and paid the same;
extra firement when used as hostlers
shall be pald as hostlers.
The arbitrators agreed that in fill
ing vacancies to firemen's senjority
alone shall not control, though it may
be considered in connection with ef
ficiency,
The firomen asked that all firemen,
when hired, shall be placed in freight
yard ar hostling service and the sen
for' white firemen shal] have prefar
ence of engines :ud runs, This was
denied by the arbitrators. Hardwick
dissented,
The firemen asked that the firemen
be not required to throw switches,
flag street crossings or tarins, ex
cept in cases of emergency, This was
denied, all arbitrators concurring,
