hour the fact has not been her¬

Bound well. We continue to
hear, whisperings that lead us
to Euspect that such may be
his title in days to come.
The legislature will hold
two sessions daily until ad¬
journment in order to do as
much devilment as possible
while it lives.

Some concern was felt by

Petitions are pouring in up
on Governor Candler from
■ all sections of the State ask¬
him to veto the Wright
dispensary bill, The hill is
looked upon by all right think¬
ing people as a menace to
their children and their homes
and the pressure that is be¬
ing brought to bear upon the
Governor, it is hoped, will
cause him to use his veto
power when the bill falls into
his hands

Complaint is made through¬
out this section, by business
men. of the light business be¬
ing done this fall. The buei
ness in all small towns is large
ly dependent upon farmeis,
and fortunately, for the coun
try, and tho farmer, they are
diversifying their crops more
and more each year and the
majority of them make nearly
everything they need at home.
Tins lessens the volume of trade
and is one explanation of the
falling off in business. Anoth¬
er reason may be cited; many
expected 9 and 10 cents per
pound for cotton, which has
not yet materialized. But
business is very good after all
and the country is perfectly
safe.
The Albany Herald, which
pays much attention to
crops and their diversifica
tion, thinks that more at¬
tention is being paid to su¬
gar cane in Georgia than ev
er. “lt will be some time
—a very Img time,” says the
Herald, 4 4 before we ean hope
to make sugar in sufficient
quantities to compete with
other countries but we can
make the vesy finest syrup
it is possible to produce
Georgia cane is the best that
grows, when quality is con¬
sidered, and Georgia cane
f yrup is destined to take
front place in the marxets of
the world, taking the palm
away from the maple product
of our northeastern states.
All those who have made a
fair test of the best grade of
Georgia cane syrup agree *
that maple vrn „ not 10 .

Prof. C. S. Floyd, of Logans
vilie, has been employed by the
trustees of Smyrna school to teach
for them next year. Prof. Floyd
has been persuing a course of study
at the State Normal School and
no doubt is prepared to do -good
work.
Prof. W T Grnnade has been se¬
lected to teach Mount Airy school
This is his third year at Mount
Airy and he is doing a splendid
work for that community which
is meeting with success and appre
eiation.
A community acts wisely by
holding fast top, good teacher, and
a teacher shows good judgment in
adhering to a school that appre¬
ciates his efforts.
Prof. R. T Allen will have
charge of Union school another
year. Prof. Allen has equipped
| lis uatiring energy has endeared
him9e lf to his pupils and patrons.
'1 here is not a more popular
teacher in the county.
Do not harshly criticise y<*ur
teacher in the presence of his pu¬
pils. If you have any objections
to .him, goto him privately with him and
talk over the matter in a
kind, respectful way.
Miss Fannie Stansell will have
charge of the Rockdale school next
year. She is now persuing a course
of study at the State Normal.
If y-u like your teacher be sure
to tell him of it. Few things help
a teacher more than an occasional
word of praise, and you will be
made happier and better by the
giving.
The University of Georgia offers
a short Winter course in Agricul¬
ture beginning January 1st. It is
intended for the sons of farmers
and others who can not leave home

is no requirement for admission
except a common scnool education
No martriculation or other fees
are required. Board can bo ob¬
tained in the new Student’s l)iu
ing Hall (co-operative plan) at
about $8.00per month, and a room
in the new Dormitory at $1.00 per
month. There are quite a number
of young men in Rockdale county
who intend to mane farming their
life work who no doubt would be
greatlv benefitted by taking ad¬
vantage of their opportunity. On
application, Chancellor Waiter B.
Hill will take pleasure in sending
a circular giving full information
in regard to the course.

that his efforts will meet with sue
'cess.
REV. MR. TROUTMAN RETURNED.
The Methodist Congregation,
together with the people of Con¬
yers, are very glad, indeed, that
Rev. Mr. Troutman has been re¬
turned to the Conyers charge by
the Conference just adjourned at
Rome.
Mr. Troutman has succeeded in
waking up the church interest
to a greater extent, perhaps,
than most of his predecessors.
He is invariably greeted by large
audiences at his regular services
which is conclusive evidence of
the interest he has aroused. Ev¬
ery branch of his church work is
prosperous and enthusiastic ana
we have no doubt his success dur¬
ing the next conference year will
be marked.
One of the secrets of Mr. Trout
mains hold upon, and influence
with, the people is in the fact
that he is not only a good man
and minister, but he is compan¬
ionable, friendly and sociable.
He is a man of wisdom and great
learning. He is duly appreciated
here and our people, as a whole,
: are 00 glad that he will be with them
1
another year, at least.
Y. P. CARTER SUICIDES.
A Highly Respected Cit : zen Meets
Almost Instant Death at
His Own Hands.
Sunday morning about noon
Mr. Y P Carter a highly respected
farmer living at Loganville took
Ins life. He had taken a stroll over
his plantation in the earlier part
of the day and upon his return to
his farm house remarked that he
wished that his wife knew what
was going to happen. He then
laid down on his bed and m about
four or five minutes he was in
another world.
Mr. Carter left a note the eon
tents of which have not all been
brought out but enough of it has
been learned to know' that it con¬
tained a statement to the effect
that he had lived long enough.
The occasion of Mr. Carter’s
rash deed is supposed to have
been his financial embarrassment.
He was in debt. The drug used
is supposed to have been a tinct.
of Opii. Mr. Carter was about
forty years of age. He leaves a
wife and one child besides a host
of friends ana relatives to mourn
his death. He is said to have
been a quiet, peaceable, law-a¬
biding citizen, highly respected
by all who knew him —Walton
Nows and Messenger.
Mr. Y. P. Carter was well
known iu Conyers and had manv
friends here who deeply deplore
his rash act. He did consider¬
able trading here this year and
was often seen on the streets.
The writer knew him personally
and often conversed with him.
For several years past he appeared
to us restless and discontented.
He was constantly in search of
several employment and tried traveling
times with different lines
,uccw
H e w« honest.' generous and
earnest, but unfortunate. We,
with many other of his friends,
deplore lus rash act.
