A LETTER TO THE EDITOR LaFayette, Ga., Sept. 0, ’47. Ed. Times: Enclosed find my renewal to your splendid paper. I think it is the best since I worked on it when it was up¬ stairs over T. H. B. Cole’s store, when T. A. Havron ran the pa¬ per. It was there I started in the printer’s business as an ap¬ prentice Many changes have taken place since then- I think you are doing a fine work by having correspondents over the county. It makes for the betterment of the interest of the people as a whole. For, I like to see so much interest be¬ ing taken by the different bus¬ iness people in the advertise¬ ment of their wares for sale. It keeps the money at home where it does the most good—so long as the goods are sold at a mini¬ mum profit. I had no preference in who should be “Miss State of Dade,” but congratulations to the win¬ ner. It’s a great thing to have the young people to read real brain building books instead of fickle literature Congratula¬ tions on being able to keep the Bookmobile—shows what can be done in any line if all put their shoulders to the wheel. Best wishes. T. A. O’Neal. P. S. Please mail me a copy of your paper with the article on “The Medicine Man,” written by Elbert Forester a couple of weeks ago. I want to send it up North. T. A. O. WATCH THOSE WAR SOUVENIRS — DANGER ! In at least two instances in the past few days tragedy and near-tragedy resulted from fail¬ ure to heed the warning of mil¬ itary leaders that all war sou¬ venirs should be examined and rendered harmless by experts. At Newton, Kan., a bazooka rocket exploded, killing three children and injuring five oth¬ ers, all members of the same family. The father had brought home the rockets, which he con¬ sidered “duds,” from Fort Riley, where he had been working. A similar tragedy was averted narrowly at Hot Springs, Ark., on the same day when a 37-mil- limeter shell, which had been used as a doorstop and a toy, exploded and injured six chil¬ dren. Apparently none was hurt seriously. No doubt thousands of similar souvenirs are in the hand of Georgia veterans. And such tragedies can be expected to oc¬ cur In our state unless all those possessing war weapons have them neutralized. Information concerning inspections can be obtained at any Army Navy or Marine Corps office. And until war souvenirs are pronounced safe they should be stored care¬ fully away from the home and. most important, out of reach of children—Atlanta Constitu¬ tion. NOT SO FREE WHEELING Eighty years ago, an intrepid fellow named George Thayer crossed the continent and back on a bicycle, no easy feat on a highwheeler with solid rubber tires, on roads that were mostly wagon ruts. But, bad as they were, high¬ ways in those days were lots safer — because there weren’t any automobiles whizzing by. Today, the bicycle — though just as much fun as it ever was can land an unwary rider in the hospital br even the morgue, and the best place for it is away from heavy-speeding-traffic a- reas. National Conservation Bureau safety specialists advise bicycle riders who do venture on high¬ ways to be alert and watchful at all times; to ride close to the right side of the road; and at night to carry headlights, and tail lights or reflectors. Even so, they are very hard to see, and night-riders should wear or carry something white. Almost 600 cyclists were killed, 23,000 injured last year, on the nation’s streets and highways.

From Wildwood In your last issue I see you speak of the cause of education, stating what the school com¬ missioner of South Carolina is doing for the cause of education, and also of our neighboring state of Tennessee, stating the number of her school children, and value of her public school property, but you have never said a word about what the good empire democratic state of Georgia is doing for education. Georgia is farther behind, in the cause of education and has more illiteracy, than any other state in the union. Stir up the pepole on the question of education. au- iMEY CIRCUS AT SOUTHEASTERN FAIR ' ' & ■ . MONKEY CIRCUS—ALWAYS A FAVORITE AT ANY FAIRGROUND.

KING OPTOMETRIST EOW-tf 17 EAST MAIN STREET CHATTANOOGA. TENN. thorizes the legislature to levy sufficient tax for school purpos¬ es. Why is it that our last leg¬ islature did not do something in that matter during a session of 120 days or more? Was it pre¬ judice- or meanness? or what was the cause. The democrats have a constitution of their own. and in my opinion, it gives the legislature more latitude, upon the subject of education, than did the Radical-Scalawag con¬ stitution of 1868. If Georgia intends to do anything for the cause of public education, it is high time she was stirring her¬ self up, and not keep a state school commissioner and clerk at large salaries, to do nothing. A state that can’t raise money sufficient to keep a public school three months free to all her chil¬ dren over six and under 18 years, ought to abandon the cause of education entirely, and what money she appropriates, for that purpose, create some more offi¬ ces and pay it to the officers as salaries. —Old Bob. Ordinary’s Office, Jan. 28, 1880. Whereas, W. S. Taylor, admin¬ istrator de bonis non of the Es¬ tate of Drucilla Taylor, deceased, applies for leave to sell a por¬ tion of the real estate of the said deceased, consisting of lot of land number 324 in the 10th dis¬ trict and 4th section, and lot number 73 in the 18th district and 4th section of said county. These are, therefore, to notify all parsons concerned to file their objection, if any they have, on or before the first Monday in March, 1880; else leave will be the applicant. Comments from the SIDELINES By ELBERT FORESTER “Speed Limit” signs recently placed on our main highway look mighty fine However we are still a little “shy” on signs, markers, etc- That is, we need some markers indicat¬ ing junctions, curves, crossroads, intersections, schools, churches stops, slow, etc. One particular place where an intersection sign would be helpful is at the inter¬ section of what is known as the “Slygo” road just north of New England, and there are other places on our roads where simi¬ lar signs are needed. Erection of these would, no doubt, prevent an accident or perhaps save a life. I am requesting our good friend, Raymond Doyal, local highway maintainer, to make a survey and list the various signs and markers needed. Following this survey we will see if we can’t get them supplied. I talked with an official of the State Highway Department recently and was informed that the Department is having some large “Welcome To Georgia” signs made and these should be ready for distri¬ bution at an early date. I spoke for three or four of these to be placed at the Tennesse and Al¬ abama lines. Speaking of signs, appears to me that there should be some in Trenton, particularly those to regulate speed of vehicles through the city limits, and would suggest that the speed limit be set at 30 miles per hour. Of course this is a matter for the City of Trenton to take up and what I have to say is purely a suggestion. In my opinion, there should be some solution to the problem requiring buses to drive completely around the square in order to stop at their station. A southbound bus has to circle the Court House one and a half times. I do not think the Court House should be loca¬ ted in, the center of any public square but ours is in the center and will remain there for a iong time no doubt. So much for that. * * * We read that in some places butter is selling for as much as $1 a pound. In New York $1.05 per pound. Now, wouldn’t old “Spot” and “Pide” “histe” their tails and kick up their heels if they just knew their products had become so precious? How¬ ever. if they were endowed with sufficient intellect to know this, they would, probably go on a strike and boost the price to $5 or $10 per pound. On the other hand, the same would be true of the old faithful “domineck- ers” if they knew their eggs were selling as high as 98c a dozen, or a little over 8c each. At this price there’s plenty of reason for th*e old hens to cackle long¬ er and louder. Hogs are natural grazers, but the green matter should be suc¬ culent and high in protein due to their limited capacity. * * * Rotenone and pyrethrum are nonpoisonous insecticides which are effective on both chewing an dsucking insects.
