OCILLA DISPATCH. OCILLA, UKORGIA. lllWIN COUNTY PUBLISHING CO., Proprietors. American mules aie now vaccinated beforo being sent to fc'outh Africa, but the vaccinal in doesn’t work when a Mauser bullet strikes them. Even far away Sweden is increasing her armament by organizing furty- seveu new batteries of artillery. The war fever is last becoming epidemic throughout the world. The Chinese want to avail them¬ selves of western knowledge and. me¬ chanical skill without closer contact with western nations, and this is why they encourage western teaching and endow schools conducted on Amerioan and European principles. Under the latest decision of the su¬ preme court of the United States tea condemned as under grade can be de¬ stroyed by the inspectors. Let the good work go on, and put all counter¬ feit food through the same purging process. It is the only safe rule for money and food. Chancellor Vou Hohcnlohe, in a speech iu the Reichstag the other day, quoted the Kaiser’s recent saying, “Social democracy is a passing appari¬ tion." Replying to Holienlohe, Herr Von Croecker,Conservative,said:“Yes, but the French revolution waa also a ‘passing apparition.’ ’’ The Baltimore Snn, enumerating the advantages of automobiles over horse wagons, says: “The wear and tear on pavements will be reduced, while at the same time the noise of the crowd¬ ed streets will he lessened by the use of rubber tires. The danger of acci¬ dents from runaways will, of course, be eliminated when there a e no horses .ou the streets to get frightened.” The trend of modern civilization is Toward prolonging and safe-guarding the existence of the individual. It is also true that there is a growing moral uprising against the wickedness of .slaughter iu war. But all this may .be freely admitted without the con¬ cession that society may never justly put the criminal to death. That is a question which the nineteenth century will pass on along with many others, to the twentieth, and it is sure to be discussed long and warmly before a general agreement shall be reached. In the skurry and rush of industri¬ al production throughout the country, the traders and handlers of merchan¬ dise have been strongly impressed with the recent disclosure of the large increase in manufacturing operations in the great West. In many branches of domestic production—notably in wooden ware, articles for household use, farm implements and appliances for transportation-—the Western drum¬ mers compete freely in Eastern mar¬ kets with representatives of old-estab¬ lished concerns, and get their share of the trade, moreover, states the Phila¬ delphia Record. Since physical training aims at per¬ fecting the body as an instrument,and at rendering it the willing, prompt and efficient servant of an intelligent mind and a sensitive and enlightened soul, it cauuot be gainsaid that phys¬ ical training lios at the foundation of mental or moral training, or that it enters and must enter as a more or less prominent and necessary factor into a great number of our education¬ al pocedures. The full success or failure of physical training, therefore, does not relate to the size or strength of the red meat we call muscles, but is measured in part by our achieve¬ ments in the domain of mind and the domain of conduct. A novel and effective way of leading children to better lines of reading is in operation at the public library in Cleveland, Ohio. At intervals paper bookmarks are issued for the use of Che children, and an outline of the various sub.ects to be read during the different months is made on the book¬ marks. It is suggested, for instance, that the child lead at least one book of history during one month, a book of biography the next, another on sci¬ ence, and so on through the months. In this same connection a small leaflet is giveu the children, and the library assistants keep a record in it of the books read during the year. This in¬ duces the children to l ead a good line of books, so that the record will show up well when they compare it with that of th eir friends, _ Let the people know what you have to sell.

French of Brooklyn from #5,000 of his good money by two expert youths on Monday was severely offset yester¬ day by an occurrence in the Broad¬ way Central hotel in which a pair of the brotherhood of bunko-steorers fig¬ ured respectively second and third to John Kasser of Arizona. The pair in¬ vested a little cash and considerable time and trouble in Mr. Kasser, and though he didn’t pan out, they still have cause for thankfulness that they are alive, though battered. Mr. Kasser is superintendent of the Live Oak Copper Mining and Smelting company, with mines at Globe, Ariz., and he is hero with his wife on busi¬ ness. They are at the Broadway Cen¬ tral. Mr. Kasser is of foreign extrac¬ tion. He Is possessed of a slight ac¬ cent, a blandly quiet manner, a con¬ fiding smile, and a general aspect of material but nonmetropolitan prosper¬ ity. When he comes to New York he doesn’t follow the example of some of his western friends and cast himself madly into the embraces of a ready¬ made frock coat, a silk hat, and a new pair of tan shoes with white laces; he wears the same clothes that he wears at home and goes about his business, and if people Infer therefrom that he is from the west, he makes no moan over that. Globe he considers to be a pretty good sort of place to come from, and he isn’t ashamed of it. For some time past there has been hanging about the corridor of the Broadway Central a gentleman pos¬ sessed of a certain appearance of slick¬ ness which has not commended him to the favorable notice of the clerks. So far as they were able to discover, his EOle occupation seemed to be to chew toothpicks, derived from the ho¬ tel’s cigar stand, and watch the peo¬ ple in the lobby from the depths of an easy chair, Ho was middle-aged, plump and well-dressed, The hotel would have been glad to get rid of him had opportunity offered. However, he only came occasionally, and his be¬ havior was not such as would warrant his ejection. On Tuesday morning this person ac¬ costed Mr. Kasser, who was standing looking disconsolately out into the rain. “Bad weather we're having,” said the man. “Have much rain in your part of the country?” "Yes, I get used to pretty much all kinds of weather,” replied Mr. Kasser. I i :-'K (> fin 50' r r. w/m r Iff l ill / r .o y f/,\ I, ti l (Jt m -M 1 \ ■ ~1 ; - lv v u\ : ---.Jy ^-5* 3 "SAY, MY FRIEND, DO YOU PLAY CARDS?” “Going out, I see,” continued tlie stranger, glancing at the other’s urn- brella. “Going uptown?" Mr. Kasser turned upon him a beam¬ ing look, but made no answer. “What’s your line of business, any way?” continued the other persua¬ sively. “My business," responded the west¬ erner, with a gentle smile, “is not yours.” “Oh, well, you needn't be offended just because I’m a stranger,” persisted the other, looking somewhat hurt. “What have you got against strangers, any way?” “Nothing in particular,” answered the visitor, “but I come from the west, you know, and I’ve heard that New York was full of bunko men and swindlers.” “Oh, ho-ho! Ha-ha-ha! That’s rich!” cried the other, slapping Mr. Kasser on the back. “You took me for a bunko man! Why, I live right here In the hotel. They all know me. Ha- ha-ha! That’s pretty good!” “Pretty good,” assented Mr. Kasser, smilipg at the other as if he were his bosom friend. “Well, if you’re going uptown-’’ “I ain’t,” said Mr. Kasser, and he walked out chuckling. * * » Upon his return he saw nothing of the effusive stranger, but when he came down into the lobby the next morning there stood the man, well- groomed and smiling. “Ah!” said the stranger, as Mr. Kas¬ ser approached. “Just down? I’m just through breakfast myself. Nice day.” To this proposition the westerner agreed. Then his friend Invited him into the cafe to show there was no ill- feeling, and after some conversation they went in together, the stranger saying: "After what you said about the bunko business you can’t do less than have a drink with me. Ha, ha, ha! That was a good one!” "Yes, wasn't it?” responded Mr. Kasser. “But I don’t drink.” “Well, come sit down and have a cigar,” said the other, and led the way to a table where sat a young man with a protruding under Jaw, a striped shirt, a glass diamond, a long drink, and certain other evidences that he wasn’t a minister of the gospel. The friendly stranger gave no open intima- tlon that he knew this man, but kicked him as he sat down. As the man didn’t rise up and wipe the floor with the kicker Mr. Kasser decided that the pair knew more about each other than they seemed to know. Presently all three were engaged in conversation, Mr. Kasser answering all their ques¬ tions about himself with a confiding smile and accepting gracefully his new friend's invitation to smoke a 25-cent cigar. The other two men had drinks and the friendly man paid for them. Then said he to Mr. Kasser; "You don’t drink anything. I see, but I guess you’re out for a good time, eh?” A slow, warm smile overspread the westerner’s placid face. "I thought so,” cried the other. "There's a little game runnlug uptown very quietly and I can put you next. Say, my friend,” he added to the man on the other side of the table, "do you play cards?” "W’y, shoo-err-rr!” growled he of the protrusive law. “Come on, then; we’ll all go there and have a little friendly game," said the friendly man, blithely. He started to rise, but felt Mr. Kas- ser's hand on his shoulder, and saw Mr. Kasser's beaming smile very close to his own face. . "Have you got a pencil?” asked Mr. Kasser. “Pencil? Why, certainly. What do you want of It?” “I want you to write your name on this piece of paper.” “What for? I won’t do it.” The smile disappeared from the face of Mr. Kasser. His hand slipped along the shoulder of the friendly stranger and settled on his collar. The friendly stranger hastened across the floor to¬ ward the office, not because he particu¬ larly wished to, but because a very muscular arm was propelling him. The third member of the trio came behind, caying hoarsely; “Leave im go. He’s me frent. Leave ’im go or I’ll soak yer!” Mr. Kasser landed his man In front cf the desk and addressed the clerk. “Does this man live here?” "No.” “You’re a liar; then,” said Mr. Kas¬ ser to his captive. The captive strug¬ gled. "Ever see him hare before?” Mr. Kasser asked the clerk. “Yes, he’s been loaflng around here for some time.” “You’re a bunko-steerer and thief,” said Mr. Kasser to the stranger. Then he relaxed his grip and his fists made a plugging sound upon the plump features of the stranger. That friendly person lopped over the desk and a conveniently placed inkwell caught the life-blood that flowed from his displaced nose. Meantime the proprietor of the pro¬ truding jaw and the striped shirt was standing in the middle of the corridor looking uncertain as to what he had better do. He was quickly relieved of all uncertainty. Mr. Kasser reached him in a Jump, grabbed him by the shoulders, whirled him around, and planted a heart-felt kick. Thereupon the man solved for a fleeting moment the problem of aerial navigation. He rose and soared. When ha landed and got his feet going there was a current of air in his wake that blew off the hats of two men who stood near by. Upon returning for the other man Mr. Kasser discovered only a crimson trail that led out by way of the cafe door. Some two dozen men who were scat¬ tered about the lobby crowded around Mr. Kasser and wanted to testify to their appreciation by buying hiru drinks and cigars, and the head clerk came around to thank him for ridding the hotel of the bunko man. When a Sun reporter saw Mr. Kas¬ ser yesterday and asked him about his adventure, that gentleman rubbed his chin and said he shouldn’t think a lit¬ tle thing like that would be of any in¬ terest in a big city like New York. He admitted, however, that he had en¬ joyed himself, and said that the cigar presented to him by his departed friend was a very excellent one. “I have got a little property of my own,” said he, “not very much, hut a little; and I sbppose those two thought they could get #5,000 or #6,000 out of me. I am a simple-minded western man,” he added, and paused contem¬ platively. “A simple-minded western man, but,” he concluded, smiling Ue- nignantly at the toe of his right boot, “I have been in New York before.”— New York Sun. A Wasted Reprimand. From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.— Little Dorothy isn’t quite two and a half years old yet, but she has develop¬ ed some very mischievous tricks. If she isn't hungry she plays with her food. Sometimes she surreptitiously flings portions of it at. her brother Occasionally she bathes her busy fin¬ gers In her bread and milk bov/1. Of course these naughty tricks displease her mother, and Miss Dorothy gets a severe talking to quite often. The other day she tried to convert her bowl into a head decoration and her mamma fav¬ ored her with a very warm opinion on such breeches of table decorum. Dor¬ othy sat perfectly still during the scolding, staring at the wall above her mother’s head. When the reprimand was ended Dorothy let her eyes drop to the level of her mother’s face and mildly remarked: “I can’t hear a word you say, mamma.” And that end¬ ed the incident. *Wh«n Mr*. H.

RAO TIME FROM WAGNER, Also in Part Prom Mozart, Dretlioron and Other Grefct Mant era. From the Chicago Tribune.—Rag¬ time has been given Its rating by F. W. Root, musical authority. He says it bears the same relation to the great things of the musical world that Mother Goose melodies do to the mas¬ terpieces of the world’s literature. While criticising this lowly but ex¬ tremely popular sort of music, Mr. Root says it came from the great maes- tros of the earth. Wagner lapsed into it much after the manner of states¬ men who sometimes get tired and drop into versification. Mozart also had moments of fatigue or exuberance, when he dashed off a few notes in the measure of the cake-walk melody. Some of the great litterateurs have written along the mental altitude of Mother Goose, says Mr. Root, and so have Bach and Beethc^en yielded to the impulse to put their lofty thoughts Into sharps and flats that would be appreciated in Halsted street. “1 would not do away with rag time mus¬ ic,” said Mr. Root. “If some one should ask me if I would blot out Mother Goose rhymes I would say unhesitat¬ ingly I would not do ft. Mother Goose is a good thing in its way. So is rag time. To make the matter plain rag time is syncopation. All the great masters have employed syncopated notes. That is all right, or the mas¬ ters would not have done it. But they did not write all of their works in syncopation. That shows that synco¬ pation is good for awhile, hut we do not want much of it. Now, Mother Goose literature is a good thing, but suppose you had nothing else to read you would get tired of it after awhile.” “What would you suggest be done about it?” he was asked. "Let it alone. The people who like it may learn after awhile to like something else better.” “What objection lies against rag time music?” “It is a repetition of the same thing, that’s all. There is nothing else in the world the matter with it. As I said, if it were not a good thing the masters would not have used it.” Among many oddi¬ ties of rag time an example of its ef¬ fect may be seen in the setting of “Old Hundred” to that measure. ‘There is no such thing as good music or bad music,” said Prof. Emil Liebling. “You may set good music to bad or vicious wordings and the mu3fe be¬ comes bad by implication. So with rag time. It is now lending Itself to low vaudeville, in the main, and be¬ cause of that association the music is denounced. The song from ‘Carmen,’ ‘Love is a Wild Bird,’ is one of the best examples of rag time in modern music. In the overture to ‘Don Juan,’ by Mo¬ zart, and in the sixth two-voiced in¬ vention of Bach we have good exam¬ ples of syncopation. Rag time is sim¬ ply having its day. It will be forgot¬ ten as a craze in a few years.” SENTENCED A Dog to Jail for Sixty Days to Stay with His Master. New York World: It is of record in Recorder Stanton’s Court in Hoboken that Kaiser, a mongrel yellow dog, was formally taken before him and sen¬ tenced to sixty days in the county jail, and a commitment was regularly made out. This was done that the dog might not he separated from his master, Ed¬ ward Livermore. Time was, perhaps, when Livermore was good to look up¬ on, but Kaiser was never anything but an ugly cur. The man is 52 and looks years older. Dog and man have starved together. Their bones are almost stick¬ ing through their skin. Both bear the imprint of suffering from starvation and cold. The man was clad in rag3. Only when Livermore realized that he was so weak from lack of food that he must die of starvation or cold did he apply to Poormaster Brock the other day for admission to the almshouse. “You will have to leave the dog be¬ hind,” said the poormaster as he wrote out the commitment. “We can’t part,” said the old man, and his voice trem¬ bled, as if the suggestion that he would give up his dog hurt him. He turned to the dog. “If we can’t live together we’U die together, won’t we, Kaiser?” The poor, gaunt dog wigwagged his stumpy tail In acquiescence. “You don’t understand,” said the old man, gently. “You see, I was prosperous once and owned my own canal boat. It sank one night about six years ago, and I should have gone down with it had it not been for Kaiser. He jumped into my bunk and awakened me while the water was pouring into the cabin. We’ve been pals ever since, share and share alike, and we can’t part now.” Then Poormaster Brock’s manner changed. He took Livermore and Kai¬ ser before Recorder Stanton, and when the latter heard the story he sentenced man and dog to the Jail for two months, and they walked off together, happier than they have been for months.

Few reports have been received at the agricultural department in the last few days regarding the effect of the cold weather on the fruit crop of the state, but it is not believed that any considerable damage has been done. While the cold in some localities was severe, it is not thought that the crop was far enough advanced to materially injure the early buds. raylnir Out Sellout Fund. Ovor 8200,000, one-fifth of the •ohool fund of the state, is being paid out by State School Commissioner Glenn. This is tho first payment of the year and the cheeks are being sent to the chairmen of the county school commissioners in every county where the statement of expenses for the year thus far have been rendered. The fund is apportioned according to the school population of the differ¬ ent counties. The amounts to be sent to the presi¬ dents of the boards of education of the several counties of the state vary, eome of the smallest and least popu¬ lated counties securing a very small mm, but sufficient to maintain schools for the number of children in the county. The teachers, regardless of location, are paid the same, but are in grades, regulated by the system of the entire state school machinery. The statute relative to the payment fcf school teachers provides that they shall be paid monthly, but it has been the custom of the county commission¬ ers not send in their statements as of¬ ten as that, and while some of them receive money from the department every month, the greater number wait a longer time, and about live payments are made each year. The appropriation for the schools this year is about $1,000,000, leaving $800,000 to be disbursed during the remaining months of the year. Atlanta Park 1*111. A Washington dispatch says: The Atlanta national park bill was placed on the calendar of the national house of representatives Saturday, and it will come up for debate and a vote in the house iu a lew days. * * * Temporary lieceiver Appointed* D. Robinson as trustee for $75,000 of the bonds of the Marietta paper mill, through his attorneys, filed a bill in the Federal court in Atlanta for the appointment of a receiver. Judge William T. Newman issued an order ealliug on the defendant to show cause before him in this city, March 24, why the petition should not be granted. In the meantime the judge named Mr. Moultrie M. Sessions as temporary re¬ ceiver. Mr. Sessions has been em¬ powered by tire court to borrow $10,000 to be used in paying off the debts of the concern. The litigation is said to be a friend- ly affair and to have for its purpose the reorganization of the company. The Marietta paper mill is one of the largest iu the south and has a large output. It is said to be one of the few large mills iu this country that are not controlled by the paper trust, and for that reason the outcome of the present litigation will be await- ed with much interest. A Sensational Suit. A suit brought by the city of Atlanta against the Auniston Pipe and Fonn- dry company and the Howard-Harri- son Iron company for $50,000 has been filed in the United States court at Bir- mingham. The city alleges that a trust has been formed among the pipe men for the purpose of advancing the price of piping. It is also alleged that the city has been the victim of the conspiracy in regard to the bids on piping. The low- est bidder has always been, it appears, the Anniston company, which the city appears to belieye was arranged for. * Bonds Knocked Out. Jones county held an election last Saturday for bonds to build a new courthouse and jail. Tho election went against bonds by not getting the required number of votes. There will be another election on April 4th to de¬ cide whether the courthouse shall be removed to Gray’s or remain at Clin¬ ton. Fuller Promise* to Talk. Allen Fuller, the negro who was convicted of the murder of Mrs. Eu¬ genia Hamilton Pottle and who is now under sentence of death in the Macon jail for the crime, was seen by a cor¬ respondent a few days ago and said that he would tell something very soon about the crime which would startle the people. It Will be remembered that while tho trial was on Fuller in¬ timated very stroDgly that he was paid money to put Mrs. Pottle out of the way. His lawyers did not allow him to bring out that point, however, and since then be has been silent. He in¬ timated as much by saying that he and old man Redd were not the only ones who knew about the killing. He told tho correspondent that he would be ready to tell all in the next few days. New Gold Mining Enterprise. The Nacoochee Mining and Mahn- facturiug Company, a big new gold mining enterprise with headquarters and main offices in Atlanta, is the latest addition to the list of Georgia's resource developers. With a capitalization of $5,000,000 in view, the promoters of the enter- ^riso have applied for a charter for the gold mine to White county superior court, and the operation of the mine will begin as soon as the charter is] granted. It will be operated on if more extensive scale, it is said, than any gold mine in the south. The property is in White county, ini iricts. the third, The fourth, fifth is and sixth than diasj 20,1 acreage more JU| 000 acres, and it is claimed by owners that of the the Ilocky richest mountains veins of g9| ore east any located on the property. There are several large gold mines in the imme¬ diate vicinity of the property, all of •»hich are paying handsomely, but the promoters of the Nacoocbee mines are confident their property has an advan¬ tage over all in the close proximity of a bountiful water supply, a large acre- age and a shorter distance to railroad facilities. It is but fifteen miles to Clarkesville from the point on the ^ property where the main part of the machinery and the mining apparatus^* will be erected. Sheriff UoHst* Hail iff. Sheriff John W. Nelms, of Fufl has had published a signed staterMH regarding the release of “Pegleg” Wito liams from the Tower on bond, in which he roasts Bailiff Gibson, of Athens, for the statement that that officer has made to the effect that the Btatus of affairs in Atlanta was misrep¬ resented to him by Jailer N. A. Chas¬ tain. Dr. Nelms does not mince words, but asserts that if Bailiff Gibson made the statement attributed to him, he has grossly misrepresented the case. The sheriff even uses stronger lan¬ guage. He alludes to Bailiff Gibson as the “lord high bailiff,’’ and also as the “pretended deputy sheriff.” He charges that the officer from Clarke county was not attending strictly to his duties, but was “tak¬ ing in the city and seeing the sights,jl present] when he should have sought to the warraut for Williams to Sheriff Nelms or his deputies. tendered Dr. Nelms him, says and, that Williams no warrant offeree waJj as bond and the case was bailable, he a cl cepted the security and released tbfl prisoner. No New Trial For Incas. At Decatur, Saturday, Judge J. sS Candler heard a motion for a new trial in the case of Will Lucas, the negro who killed Robert F. Davis, on the night of May 12, last year. The judge overruled the motion, but the attor¬ neys for Lucas will carry the appeal to the supreme court. Lucas has been tried twice for the murder of Mr. Davis, and at the last hearing was sentenced by Judge Candler to life imprisonment, Big Electric Power Plant. The announcement that a big elec- trie power plant is to be established at Talassee shoals means a great deal for Athens and vicinity. The middle Oconee river at "that place will be made to yield 1,000 horse power, and that power will be rented to manufac¬ turers in Athens.
