Chattancoga, Tennessee 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 R e ePI B Ilttle excl vié',a.,', beg: ‘,”.«.1‘ ing and 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.— Greenshaw correspondence Memphis Commercia'~Appeal. ; 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 RN R L e : {M | .. o Q» g R ; GOVERNOR JOSEPH M. BROWN. 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. Brow#B by his Father, December 28, 1868, Wi he had responded “I do” to the dEEh he bent reyerently and kiss ed tHEEbook he held in his hands. - NOging remained but the delivery of th@ercat seal of the state.

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, Dollar Saving Days Prosperity dates from the first dol= lar saved.
