Don't fail to write a letter to your friends over the State in be half of J)r. T. J. Lumpkin for Com missioner of Pensions* The tax rate for the ensuing year for the State, on the one hun dred dsllars, is fifty cents, county forty cents, making a total of nine ty cents on the one hundred dol lar's. The distributive rate cannot be given until the Comptroller General makes returns of railroads and other corporations, which will iiot be completed before Oct 31st. TO THE TEACHERS AND PATRONS Oh' t'HH SCHOOLS OF fit DADF.COIJNTY m i ■■ * fey a ruling of the Board of Ed ucation at its last session the Com missioner was directed to close out any school whose average attend ance runs down below 50 per cent, for a reasonable length of time, two weeks or more, or he might continue the school by reducing the salary according to average at tendance, and so far the people all over the county have expressed their approval of the order of the: Board of Education; and while i some of the monthly reports have fallen down rather L> w Ido hope the people will consider this mat ter seriously and not keep their Children out of school and thereby rob them of the money expended lor them and of their opportuni ties to get an education. So far the prospects for a successful school year has been very batter ing and I do so much want the the school interest in Dade this year to surpass all former years in the history of the common schools inthis county, both in point of at tendance and class work done. I believe the teachers thoughout the couiny are doing their very best and are equal if not above in point ot ability and service to any we have had in years. I am real proud of the outlook. I have just visited Miss Lucy Warmack ami Miss Mattie Brown,schools at Byrd’s Chapel ami New Salem, respective ly, alid they are both doing excel lent work, ami 1 am well pleased with tlnm as 1 am of all the. rest of the schools throughout the county. ] will close this hy earn estly insisting on the patrons of the schools to stand by your teaeh eis this year and the results will be iyell that you will be proud of. Your obedient smvant, G. A. lb Bir.LK. Our County Congressional Com mitteeman Mr. \V. G. Morrison is very angry because we published What he had , to say about \V, J. lb van as a presidential candidate, in our last issue of this paper, and he promised to slap our -‘ja#*” if we ever put his name in our paper again in connection with polities, dust why “Budy” .should get so very angry v/<i uio at a loss to know. He has a perfect right to be against Bryan if he is not a democrat, but we question his Good Roads The United States department of commerce and labor has just issued a statement concerning the money saving represented in good roads. In this pamphlet it is computed that vefy often the cost of hauling farm produce to the nearest rail road station is much greater than would have been the cost of ship ping the same produce acioss the continent by railroad. Mow is it possible that the rail roads can haul this produce such enormous distances for less money than a farmer can load it into his wagon and take it to the nearest railroad station. It is because the railroads spend in good times millions of dollars annually in getting and keeping their roadbeds in good shape, so that the hauls can be made not only on a time saving basis, but with the least fuel consumption and the. smallest output of energy possible ! The same cheapness of tranepor tation could he applied to the high ways of Georgir with the proper a mount of attention on the road of these people interested in better roads. There is hardly a class of people in the state that is not dir ectly interested in the betterment of roads. The farmer, is, of course nearest in touch wi h roads good or bad, and receives the first results from them, beneficial or evil, as he case may be. He is the man whose home has to be reached by the wagon road. He must bring his produce out from the farm by the road to the railroad station it not to the market, and his supplies, such ns he cannot raise, have got to go to his farm over the same road. The keeping up of the city markets depends on the coeapness and facil ities the farmer has for getting to town with his crop. So for purely business reasons the good rotd is an absolute necessity. As everyone is interested in this matter of g od roads, it does look j as if the desired thorough fares could be secured with united action on the part of the people.:There is the nation and state from which appropriations could be drawn, in ! addition to the expenditure each individual would make Under the above conditions, which are highly practical, the entire country could be equipped with a system of good roads, equal to those of the older j countries ot Europe. The money actua ly wasted in state and national appropriations would build a system of roads that the country would he proud ot and | the people enjoy.—Macon News. Reward TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS For four thousand citizens o! Dade County that will promise to manifest at least some interest in improving our public roads. Anyone can suggest, but that does not improve the roads. If every citizen who should take an active interest in our public High ways will only manifest some in terest, we will soon have better mads. Bee that labor is properly, intelligently and honestly applied on every public road of the county. Don’t delay until Court con venes to report some District Road Overseer or Commissioner for fail ure to perforin their duty as le quired of them by taw. Citizen. right to say aught against him f lie be a regular Democrat and a Committeeman selected to serve and represent Dade County, as a Democrat and having been selected by a convention for such a pur pose that heartily endorsed Bryan. Brown and Lee, Mr, Morrison made this remark after he was chosen by said convention in the presence of dohn M. Cantrell , ol Kitting Fawn and Mr. Cantrell*,) brother, of Chattanooga, in the Central Depot at Chattanooga, on August 20th, between (> and 7 o’clock p. m. Again: On Mondry evening. September 7th, 1908, in the Cen tral Depot at Chattanooga, Mr. Morrison was electioneering with Tn Memory A Little John L. Price, the 7-yea - old son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh A. ; Price on Sept. sth, at 10:30 a. m., passed from the stage of actior), ot sorrow and of tears, of gladness and of sadness, and of disappoint ment and of woe; to the land ot slumber, to the land of rest, to the. land of song, to the Paradise of the Eternal! the city of the grea* King! The littleone had suffered, though with much paGence lor a child, the tortures of fever for about five weeks. At the Brown grave yard on Sand Mountain his lifeless form sleeps beneath the sand; while his spirit rests and beholds the face of God ! and may you, his friends and loved ones, prepare to meet thy God. Our people were made sad on Sunday last, when it w'as announced that uncle Gabe Chambers was and ad Mr. Chambers was for mmy years a citizen of Dade county where he made many warm friends as was demonstrated by the gather ing of a large crowd of young and old, at the Tounsend cemetaiv near Wildwoad, and was there waiting with heavy hearts, for the arrival of the procession, with the remains to pay the last tribute of respect to one they had loarned to love. Mr. Chambers was seventy nine yeaps old, one of our oldest and most loyal citizens, he w r as a soldi er in the Confederate army, where he bravely fought, and would have willingly died, in defense of our Southland, that he so well loved. Mr. Chambers was in feeble heal th for more than a year, but he was a patient sufferer, never was heard to murmer or complain, hut spoke cheerfully of his hope beyond, where our feet will never grow weary nor our voices fault *r, nor our eyes graw dim, ut where our strength will lie renewed, iike the eagle we will soar to higher height-* and greater joys. Ju t at twelve o'clock we were engaged in funeral services, conducted hy Rev. Wiley pastor of the M. E. church, south., at Highland Park, near which place Mr Chambers died. The services were very impressive, and many in couraging words were spoken to comfort the bereaved family and friends. Hut the thought ti nt slum Id interest us most is the fact that we are traveling toward eternity and these emblems of mo ality should cause us to prepare to m i t our God, and when the time comes when we must s:iy goodbye to our loved ones on earth, we can also say, meet me in heaven. NOTICE Will pay cash for beef hides de livered at Drug store. C. V. M. Tatum two young citizens of Rising Fawn and said to them: “If you can’t vote for my brother-in-law for Ordinary; vote for Tom Fuller,” (one of these citizens is too young to vote.) Well, if Mr. Morrison has a brother in-law that is a can didate for Orbinary, ; he has never published the fact in the county paper, and uliereforc many people do not know lor sure that he is a candidate. ü ßudy” also said to these young citizens of liiiing Fawn in substance, that he would make an effort to control the next grand ury. Now, personally, we have naught against “Body.” He is a big-hearted, good farmer, when things go his way, and we are very sorry he threatens us with violence when we publish the truth. If our face is too sore for us to write next week you may know the veasoii why. K. F. Tatum, Editor.
