'Phone No. 6. 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 ta Georgian.

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. Judge A. W. Fite of Carters- > ville has made announcement that i he will be in the race for con s gross from the seventh district - at the next election to fill the b place now occupied by. Hon.

When death In vades it large circle of friends or rela- , tlons the question of the hour is as to who can be spared from the shop, the I plow or the desk to "bury the dead.” ! If war breaks out there is an unoffi . clal draft of the citizens of every com munity whose removal to take up arms will cause the least jar to In dustry. The will to respond readily and adequately to every call where hu ' man well being Is nt stake is universal. In the Red Cross societies the whole | world has a standing organization for I . the relief of the stricken or unfortu nate. Originally founded to succor the wounded of the battlefield, it has ex tended Its province until it recognizes all human suffering as a wounding of the race. It has been said that by lessening the horrors of the battlefield the lied Cross effort must indirectly encour i age war. This remains to be proved, but it Is undeniable that the crusade against suffering waged by the socie ty has lessened public selfishness and indifference. The stains of the corps I has also removed nil doubt as to the efficacy of relief extended through proxies. With branches in almost I every clime. It sets In motion prompt ly and efficiently the latent and more I or less fitful sympathy and generosity of the whole world w -e *. —• Came Near Choking to Death. A little boy, the son of Chris. D.

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 ‘ hones man but it am mity hard J fer de tail ob de dog to wag de ] dog. Yer mite hitch up ahi step- j pin horse long side ob a Jack but dat ain’t gwinter stop dat Jack from brayin. Mr. Tass - mite fill his pockets full ob grave i 1 yard rabbits foots but taint gwin- ' 1 ter do no good, fer der tail jes i can't wag de dog. And Mr. Bal . lard, you city folks am still gwin-- 1 ter suffer, cows or no cows, until i we gets a new party or a new! konstitution one or tother.
