Gov. Candler’s course in recom

angered-some of his former friends

met the approval of others.

the south, as far ns it was possible

Spring Term of Court—But No

The spring term of Chattooga
Superior Court met last Monday.
Ths Grand Jury organized by
•lectiijg Mr.E.N. Martin foreman,
Mr. clerk and Mr.
D. A. Crumiy as bailiff. The
jury is composed of a body of ex
cellent and conservative citizens
and it goes without saying that the
material and moral interests of :he
county are in good hands with
such a body of men. The election
of Mr. Martin as foreman is a well
deserved compliment to his integ
rity and ability, and the selection
of Mr. as clerk is
also a most excellent one Mr.
J). A. Crumiy the bailiff, has ren
dered faithful service during the
week.
Judge Henry deliverd his charge
to the jury in his usual terse and
vigorous style, covering almost
every possible point of the law re
lating to the duties of grand ju
rors, which was closely followed
by a large gathering of citizens of
the county. The charge was of
course along the usual lines touch
ing the duties of jurors, and was
exceptional only iu point, of unu
sual clearness and force.
A member of the Georgia legis
lature fought th* common school

said. “I seen my duty' and done

A very important office changed
hands recently when Governor

her through the carelessness of a
reporter, and that her motives
were really of the best.
The new addition to th* Lindale

The oil will feed her wasting

her cough, and the hypophos

Never say you “cannot

THE MAYOR’S ELECTION.
The Municipal Election Held Last
Thursday Quiet.
The election for Mayor and
C*u.ncilmen of Summerville for,
the ensuing year was held last
Thursday and was «n unusually
quiet one, for which doubtless
everybody concerned is thankful.
There was two tickets in th*
field, prohibition and anti-prohi
hibition. The anti* put out a
ticket headed by Hon. Wesley
Shropshire for Mayor, C. L. Odell i
for Recorder and Messrs B. H. Ed
mondson, K. I). Jones, G. D. Hol
lis, E. N. Martin and C. C. Bryan
as Councilmen.
Th* prohi* ticket was headed by
Col. J. D. Taylor for Mayor, T. J.
Harris for Recorder and J. W.
Pitts, J. A. Branner, M. G. Merritt,
G. D. Espy and G. W. Sewell for
Councilmen.
The vote stood 6(1 for the antis
and 39 for the proh is.
As stated before the best of feel
ing prevailed and there was a no
table absence of th* bitter and un
kind spirit that had been mani
fested on former occasions. For
this much, every man, woman and
child in the town is to ba congrat-;
ulated, and it is hoped that in the I
near future some wise solution of
the whisky question will be reached
that will, in a meaeureable degree,
satisfy all reasonable people. Cer
tainly no good results, either moral
or materia], can be hoped for un
less the good people of the town
get together and work in unison
and harmony for the common
good of all.
It will be grattifying nows to
the teachers in the public schools
to know that this year they will be
paid monthly for their services
instead of quarterly, as hereto
fore. This will very largely in
crease the work in the educational
department. Prof, Glenn is a
staunch friend to the teachers and
will do everything in his power
to see that they are paid promptly.

The Atlanta Journal is one of
the best daily papers in the south,
and is steadily winning its way in
the confidence of a constantly
widening circle of readers. Its
news service is unexcelled, and
during the late war with Spain it
was from twelve to eighteen hours
ahead of any competitor in fur
nishing the news of that stirring
period.
Quite a number of Confederate
veterans do not take kindly to the
idea of being put on the Federal
pension list. As a matter of fact,
the pension system as now con
ducted, is a little short of an out
rageous robbery, and there is small
reason to hope that it will be bet
ter *oon .

excellent paper, is now one of the

A
Il is im<- -ting to observe with
what complacency, what unruffled se
renity this vi’lage of Summerville ac
cept* the changes of time. It seems
to say to old father time “Well, here
now. you can have what you call New
Year’s every year but you needn’t ex
pect me to pay any particular atten
tion to it.”
Thus eveiything proceeds along its
old accustomed way. The years that
have passed have crystalized appar
ently, to the extent that the new one
makes little impression upon them.
The days pass at just the same gait
they did last year. The business man
perhaps is annoyed just at the begin
ning by writing it ’9B instead of ’99,
and as he surveys his scraped out and
blotted date "ine, redacts that’new
years are nuisances.
Receptions? Oh, dear me, no! Par
ties of young people to watch the old
year out? Tradition has it that such
parties have been in times past. The
“oldest inhabitant’ refers to them in
reminiscent mood and tells of how he
courted his sweetheart and of how
men really knaiv how to do that sort
of thing in those good old times. And
then as he straightens up consciously
he intimates what he would do if he
were just a little younger, iu away
comforting to forlorn maidenhood.
But I know of one party who watched
the old year out and who went to sleep
just before the new one cams in not
to welcome it too warmly. Notwith
standing this display of sentiment the
Party did not regret ’9B’s departure—
the Party was a woman, too. She and
the old year »at opposite each other
and communed for the last time be
side her hearth. They remembered
when they had first met iu the cheer
ful light of this hearth just a twelve
months ago. What a long time it
seemed! How fresh you were, the
Party murmured, what a world of pos
sibilities in your hands and no dust on
the hem of your garment. But now,
how old you are, how travel worn.
Then the Old Year looked at her
critically, significantly, as if—but she
drew herself up proudly. Ido not re
gret your going, she said.
“Oh, well, there now! I didn’t mean
that exactly,” he cried. “Os course it
will be a long time yet before you are
old. But you are a brave woman to
say that, he added with a little smile.
Peihaps you are a new woman? You
know I’ve been rather partial to the
new woman.”
Sh* shook her head, “But I am not
sorry you are going, just the same.”
“And lam not sorry to go, quoth he.
Consider, I have known more of strife
and turmoil, intrigue and war than
most years, perhaps. The greed and
glory of humanity has left its impress
upon me—and the suffering. For you
know somebody must lose in the game
of greed, and c.irthly glory usually
means suffering for those in the
shadow. You see it is very appropri
ate for me ‘o moralise in this my last
hour.
But I’ve seen all sorts and condi
lions of life. I have tried to be im
partial to everybody but after all, it

doesn’t lie with me to ease all the
pains or solve all the problems. I really
thought I might when I first came on,
such is the bouyant spirit of youth.
Now my lime is up and I must go,
leaving so much unfinished. But I am
net sorry to shift this burden of the
world onto the shoulders of my young
successor, who thinks doubtless, he
will bear it better than I and retrieve
my mistakes, such, again, i- the spirit
ol yo*th. It was an experience to
have had but one doesn't want uore
than a year of it, I assure you.
“My regret is that I have not seen
more of this intrigue and turmoil,
strife and suffering since it is what we
call life, said the Party, “I want to
live while I live.”
“Oh dear me! There you go
- —wanting, wanting you know not
what! You mortals are insatiate of
sensation—when you are not clods.
Well, I must be going now. Time’s
up.” The Old Year was looking in
tently at the Party. “By the way,”
said he, “I don t see how I ever said
anything about your-er-regretting the
Might of time,” and then quite casu
ally, “Since this is our last evening
together you might—don’t you think
you might—that is, it wouldn’t be any
harm if I should steal a ”
“S-i-r-r!!”
“Oh. well, of coure not, of course,”
said he placatingly. And then he
muttered to himself, “Os course I’m
not a Hobson, of course not.” And he
got up to go.
“While I am not sorry we must
part, I shall remember you very ten
derly after all,” cried the party.
He grunted.
“While I didn’t get wnat I want
ed,”
“Neither did I,” »aid the Old Year.
“there were rare moments when
I thought I did and was supremely
happy, which amounts to the same
thing. For the sake of those moments
.1 shall remember you.”
The blaze on the hearth was dead,
the coals falling to ashes and the ekek
was striking twelve. He drifted away
like a smoky plantom, muttering io
himself, “Those moments; I wonder
about them? I v* been too busy to
keep up with ever) thing, while some
man not so busy, perhaps—ll*igh oh!
Well, I hope the New Year will have
more ‘moments’ in store for her.
Youth doesn’t last so long, after all.”
“How queer,” said the Party mu
singly as she gazed after the ukl Year,
“that with all his experience he never
learned to take what he wanted. Now,
1 knew a person who”—then she
stopped suddenly, went over to the
dressing table and began taking down
her hair.
i If the Old Year had been there he
i must have wondered why she blushed
; so violently and why she did not look
in the mirror at herself.
As for the newly arrived ’4)9, whom
she seemed to have utterly forgotten,
' h c merely gazed at her in astonish
ment. And we will leave the story
with him, hoping of course, that he
■ will make the next installment as
happy as possible.
