Summerville, Ga., Jan. 14, 1909
President-elect Taft is to be
the guest of honor and chief
speaker at a dinner to be given
by the Atlanta chamber of com
merce on the evening of January
15. President Roosevelt and his
entire cabinet, the governors of
all the southern states, Senators
Bacon and Clay, and the entire
Georgia congressional delegation
have been invited to attend the
dinner.
Commissioner of Agriculture
T. G. Hudson has sold enough
fertilizer tags for the season of
190 H to have SII.OOO net placed on
deposit with State Treasurer
Park for distribution among the
eleven district agricultural col
leges of Georgia. This means
that each one gets SI,OOO with
which to begin the school term
for the new' year.

V Mr. Garfield, Secretary of the
Interior, show’s in his annual re
nport that the names of 50,675
pensioners were taken off the
pension rolls during the past
year by death. Nevertheless con
gress is so liberal and pension
agents are so active that the ar
my of pensioners is kept up.
There are still on the pension
rolls more than one million of
persons, a much greater number
than during the years immedi
ately following the Civil war.
Officials of eighty counties have
notified the prison commission
that they will use their quotas of
convicts on the public roads after
April next. The majority want
“overs” as well as their own sup
ply. Requisitions to date dis
pose of between three and four
thousands prisoners. It is ex
pected that about twenty-five
more counties will decide to avail
themselves of the privilege of the
convict law before the new sys
tem is put into effect.
According to reports in the
office of Secretary Hitch at the
state capitol clemency was ex
tended by Governor Smith and
the prison commission last year
to 110 more convicts than were
granted their liberty in 1907, the
total number for 1908 being 207.
The number of convicts pardon
ed in 1907 was 97. The recent in
vestigation into the convict lease
system is in large part responsi
ble for the unusual number of
pardons granted last year, for
the investigation brought to light
many eases in which clemency
was deserved which would other
wise not have been brought to
the attention of the prison com
mission or the governor. - Atlan

The New Cotton Mill
The new cotton mill is now al
most an assured fact. Now don’t
let any of us stop for a moment
until the last dollar is subrcribed
to secure it. It means so much
to our town and county. Nothing
has ever presented itself to our
people where there is so much at
stake as this proposition. Did
1 you ever stop and think what a
' vast benefit Trion Mfg Co. is to
our section. Did you ever think
. about the great sums of money
this enterprise has turned loose
in our county for cutton and la
'■ bor. It has been one of the very
best markets for cotton in Geor
gia. It has been a splendid mar
ket for other products raised on
the farm. It has furnished
' houses and labor to a large and
• splendid class of people. Sup-
■ pose something should occur to
wipe this mill off the map. It
would be a calamity this county
would never get over. This
mill is now paying nearly
1 one-third of the tax in the
county. Suppose this was cut
’ off. Can you imagine the results.
! The greai st benefit you can
be to mankind is to furnish good
■ honorable work by which men,
women and children can make
money with which to buy the
>
necessaries and luxuries of life.
, No one can doubt the benefit and
good results of a well conducted
cotton mill and a good healthy
payroll, after seeing our town
since the Summerville Cotton
Mills were built. The town is
building up in every direction. It
is impossible to get an empty
1 house. This new mill with the
added population of 1500
, at once, will soon mean a
town of 5,000 people and will be
, the best and healthiest town in
, North Georgia. This means at
once electric lights and water
works and an up to date $15,000
1 school building and enough add
ed to our taxes to pay for and re
tire the court house bonds as
! they fall due. Talk and work for
> this mill us you did for the bonds
. and success will crown your ef
forts.

Mr. Editer.
Some feller said totber day dat
de Bible said cleanliness were
next to Godliness. He jess off
his kazip a little. De Bible don’t
say dat, and ain’t gwinter saj’ j
dat, kase dar aint no way in de
worl to stay perfectly clean, cept
ing you set by de fire and tetch
nuffln and let nuffin tech you.
And den yer kant keep clean es
dar am a lot ob chilluns aroun ’ a
eating of candy and sweet taters
and sich I node widout lookin’
up de dictionary dat de bible
didn’t say dat, kase de bible am
in favor ob wurk and chilluns —
both.
De doctors say dar am millions
and millions ob microbes in dirt
what fetches on all sorts ob dis
eases. I don’t believe dat. I be
lieve dirt, soap and water all
mixed togedder am helthy. I be
lieve dat feller what sots about
and does nuffin but picks his
teeth and smokes ciger< ttes,
parts his har in de middle, tells
lies and keeps clean am de feller
what de mikrobes gits arter. I
notes dey looks de most puniest
anyway. I believe in staying jes
as klean as yer possibly kin, but
dirt don’t kill folks. Kase i nose
some niggers dat am dat dirty
yer kant wurk long side ob dem.
Dey am as stout as young mules
and kin eat a wash pot ob crack
lins or a skillet full ob litered
nots fer supper and den sleep
lak a 6 weeks old baby.
I see Mars Ballard ob Menlo
say dates de farmers don’t quit
so much kotton and raise more
cows dat folks in de city lak him
gwinter suffer. Dar aint to much
kotten raised, Mars Ballard, it’»
de trusts what am holden de
prices down, what am a hurtin
ob ebberything, and de big korts
a standin in wid em.
I see lately de grocery mer
chants ob Atlanta tried to stop
de railroads from increasing de
frates, and de kort ob assizes in
New Orleans say yer kant do dat,
de railroads kin charge as much
[rate as dey nlease. De Chatta
nooga paper say as how it wuz
rite fer de hi korts to say jedge
Landis couldent fine de ile trust
$29,000,000. Dat dey ought to
hab a law not to fine sich kon
serns but to put em in jail. Dat
paper is hind de times. Dats
done bin tried and dem hi
korts say as how yer kant krim
inate a feller fer de violation ob
a civil law and a blind man ken
see how things am a gwine, and
yet dat ’Lanta Konstitution say
as how we ought to be on de pub
lican band wagon and git in de
swim. I ben a votin fer dat pub
lican party fer de longest, but
iin gwinter quit. lam agin a
party what am fer ebberything
yer don’t want, and agin ebbery
thing yer do want Dey said yer
better vote fer Tass es yer want
prosperity, and bles yer sole kot
ten bin gwine down ebbery since
de lection. I wish folks would
quit believin dat sort ob foolish
ness. ’Minds me ob de super
stition ob folks. Yer hear a fel
ler say it am bad luck fer a rab- '
bit to cross de rode fore yer. Now’
yer jes let dat rabbit cross de
road a thousand times aud nuffin 1
bad happen and yer pay no ten
tion it, but jes let somethin hap- 1
pen one time in de thousand and
you will say, jes so, I node it,
and tells ebbery body yer sees
about it. No, sur; I’m gwinter
quit votin fer dat party what am
de daddy ob trusts, de mudder ,
ob high tariff, and de granddady i
ob kombines and korporations. «
I specks Mr. Tass am a spectible ‘
