KARNAGY STILE SPELING
SINC TEDDY TUK IT UP
List of 200 Wurds Just a Starter—Blu Bakt
Speller Wil Be A1 Rong—Toks
With Edukatorz.
“Thro away the blu bakt speller
What's the use of eny feller
Wasting eny time In learning
What old Webster had to say?
For our Teddy's Joined with Andy
Saying, 'Just whatever’s handy
Is the proper way of speilln.*
So we’ll use Josh Billings' way.”
"A-cJ-d-r-e-s-t—-addrest, they ust to
spell It ‘addressed,’” he murmured.
"A-c-c-u-r-s-t means 'accursed.’ (Ah„
I'm glad they have that word In the
list. It comes In handy), catalog—I’m
getlng ust to that; Kum-ln—”
The reporter entered. He had been
sitting up half the night learning to
talk according to the new spelling. In
his troubled dreams familiar words like
“anaesthesia” and , “catalogue” and
“encyclopaedia” has chased each other
about hts bed, some looking as If they
had been amputated as their posterior
extremity while others wore bandages
about their middle and looked like an
appendicitis convalescent. All bore a
pained expression, none looked like
the same old friend.
All Rite, Says Brittin.
"What du you think of this Karnagy
the dlkshunary. Yu no Karnagy wunc
sed that he had sens enuf to hire men
to du things who had more sens than
he had. He furnlsht the muny and his
kommitty furnlsht the reform. It waz
a fine comblnashun. I think the skul
buk publishers will Inkorporat the
changes in their nu buks. The slm-
pliflkashun of spelling will be gradual,
but the list will gro until many wurdz
are changed. Now, If It’s all the same
to yu let’s talk United States. I’m
afrade the Janitor will kum in and
kach me at this."
Changes Will Be 8low.
The expressions of the two experts on
education were that the changes in
spelling, carefully considered by the
committee entrusted with the work,
would be generally adopted, but that
the process of assimilation would be
slow. The adoption of the new list by
the government departments and the
use* of simplified words by the pnstof-
flces in all their communications would
undoubtedly have Its result. Already
some of the magazines have adopted
simplified spelling In certain cases, us
ing "thru” for ’’through,” “catalog” for
“catalogue” and “program” for "pro-
spelling, Mr. Brittin?” asked the re- gramme,” with similar changes in kin
porter. “Duz It luk good to you or ant
It? Kan yu talk it free hand or du yu
haf to use notes? Kan yu rite It on a
typewriter? Will common tipe do or
wont. It?”
"Why, It Is all rite,” replied Mr. Brit
tains only 300 wurds, tho that Is Just
not so bad as yu talk it. The list con-
taalns only 300 wurds, tho that Is Just
the beginlng.
'But Karnagy didn’t du It In the first
place. It was the Nashunal Educash-
anal Assoslashun, komposed of all the
educatorz In the kuntry, who appointed
a kummltty to Investigate spelling and
report. The kummltty plkt out twelv
wurds for the slauter, among which
are 'program,' 'thru' and uthers. The
movement wus given an impetus when
Karnagy Aik It up and now that Rozy-
velt has bekum Interested and put it In
the government kummlcashuns I think
It will beku n more general.
"Edukator*: all over the kuntry have
faut over th. matter nnd it has been
diskust In many meetings. The frends
of the movement ganed their point and
had a kommitty appointed and this
kommity chose twe.v wurdz which hav
been adopted by the assoclashun. I
think It Is but the be intng of a move
ment which will eventually do much
to slmplld spelling, but I believe it will
take meny years. The nuspapers and
magazens hav not helpt us much. They
stick to the old stile.”
Gud Thing, Says Rogers.
The reporter climbed the steps to
the capitol and began a search for Wil
liam B. Merritt, state school commis
sioner, but that gentleman* had taken
to the woods with a spelling book,
leaving no address behind him. His
assistant, J. N1 Rogers, was left a vic
tim for the sacrifice. He sighed as he
turned to the newspaper man, first
hastily hiding a printed list of the fatal
3oo words under a dictionary which
bore marks of revisions In lead pencil.
"Yes, It is a gud thing,” he remark
ed. "The change Is not haf so radlkal
as Noa Webster made when he wrote
dred words. It Is believed, however,
that few* radical changes will be made
In the language for a generation or
two.
So don’t throw away your un
abridged Just yet. It will still serve In
most cases.

DAY ATSJATE FAIR
October 15.Will Be Devoted
to the Deutsch-
landers.
October 15 will be German Day at
the fair..
So it was decided after a consulta
tion between the officers of the Fair
Association - and a committee, from the
German-Amerlcan Society of. Atlanta.
It la believed that Germans will gath
er In Atlanta from all parts of the
South and from every city in Georgia
eo as to celebrate fittingly the day nnd
show their loyalty to “der Vaterland”
aa well as to the land of their adop
tion.
The program of entertainment hae
not been fully decided upon,- although
It la known tjiat there will be ad
dresses during the day by prominent
German-Amerlcans delivered both In
English and In the native tongue. The
festivities will be brought to a close
by a reception and dance In the even<-
Ing.
The German-Amerlcan Society of
Atlanta has accomplished much since
Its organisation In bringing together
the Germans of this section and It Is
believed that German Day will greatly
help to further the good work. It Is
also the desire of the society to wipe
out the Impression created by a num
ber of adverse and false reports which
have spread throughout the East and
even through Germany that the con-*
dltlon of the Germans In the South Is
deplorable. These reports are both
detrimental to Immigration and An In
justice to the Germans who have made
their homes In the South.

THINKS SUPPORTERS
To the Friends and Supporters of V. T.
Hanford:
Now that the race is over and my friends
»ve been so loyal to me In their suppor
take this method of expressing my ai
predation, for It would take weeks i
write personal letters. I want to thank
each nnd every person from the bottom of
my heart that gave me his vote, or had n
kind word for me during this race, and I
promise each nnd every one that they shall
them to fee I that I am not discouraged
at tho result of this race, for I’ve scored
victory, although I was defeated. I have
celved a strong Indorsement from everj
county In this state for one of the high
at and most responsible offices within flu
lift of the people. I must confress that
was disappoluted at not being able to
carry Floyd county, but when I realise
disappoluted at not being
. Floyd county, but when l
how active my old political enemies were,
with a registration of 4,600. votes, and only
defeating me by a small margin, when I
did not speud one cent in the count/, f
should be more than satisfied with such
s result. While my enemies criticised the
showing I have made, 1 do not t>ellevo
there Is a man in the state under similar
mlafortune that bss ever overtaken me
came to me here. Whllo I have met with
these misfortunes, I bnve yet to regret
that I cast my lot with such a people and
In such n comity. My misfortunes and my
sorrows have been my own aa far as wag
possible, for I have kept within my breast
my troubles, not wishing to bring pain
to any one, and while 1 know* I have
‘ven my friends n great deal of anxiety,
control over uinke It Imperative 1 should
look to some other county In this great
old state to make my future home. The
regrets are mine to give up sue*
nnd the people that have beeu so true to
uie. My friends will find me ever ready
nml willing to meet any demand they make
upon me. 1 shall continue the work of
life Insurance, nnd hope some of iny friends
will hold their applications for me. Let
me again thank each and every, one that
had a kind wool for me, hoping that tot
ter and happier days may come to us all.

UTES PULL STAKES
AND START EAST
By Private Leased Wire.
Washington, Aug. 27.—The White
river band of Ute Indians In Utah
have pulled Up the stake of thels
teepees, packed their belongings and
with their squaws and papooses are
Journeying toward the rising sun. Ad
vices to this effect have Just been’ re
ceived by Francis E. I*eupp, commis
sioner of Indian affairs.
It means that Commissioner Leupp
has a peaceful uprising on his hands,
and he does not know what he’s going
to do about It. A few days ago It was
reported that the Ute warriors had
gone on the war* path but this, It ap
pears, Is not true. As the Utea arc
accompanied by their women folks and
the children, It is certain that they are
not on a marauding expedition.
