"A-c-c-u-r-s-t means ’accursed.’ (Afc„

The reporter entered. He had been
sitting up half the night learning to
talk according to the new spelling. In
hla troubled dreams familiar words like
"anaesthesia” and “catalogue” and
“encyclopaedia” has chased each other
about his 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.

Changes Will Be Slow,
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 postof-
flces In all their communications Would
undoubtedly have Its result. Already
some of the magazines have adopted
simplified spelling In certain cases, us

‘But Karnagy didn't du It In the first

Gud Thing, 8ays 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. N. Rogers, was left a vic
tim for the sacrifice. He sighed as he
turned to the newspaper man, first
hastily hiding a printed Hat of the fatal
300 words - under a dictionary which
bore marks of revisions In lead pencil.
"Yes, It. Is a gud thing,” he remark
ed. ’ "The change ts not haf so radlkal

NEGRO STRUNG OP
TO TELEGRAPH POLE
BY LOUISIANA MOB
GEORGIA EXPERTS
CONTESTAT MACON
October IB 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-American Society of Atlanta.
It Is'believed that Germans will gath
er In Atlanta from all parts of the
South and from every'dty In 'Georgia
so as to celebrate fittingly the day and
show their loyalty to "dor Vaterland”
as well as to: the land of their adop
tion.
The program of entertainment has
It Is known that there will be , ad-
German
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-Amertcan Society of
Atlanta has accomplished much since
the Germans of this section an,
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
heir homes In the South.
