The fighit on interstate »hip
niontH of liquor into dry states
will be continued with unabated
zeal to the new congress. The
prohibition leaders are not satis
fied with the (’. O. D. bill rcciflut
ly passed by congress and will
continue the fight for more rad
ical legislation. The bill of Rep
resentative Ijangley of Kentucky
will be re-introduced. This is
practically the same bill which
was fostered by Represent ative
Littlefield of Maine, ami which
the American Aniti-Saloon Leagm
supported. It proposes to give
to a dry state the right to pro
hibit absolutely all shipments of
1 pior into its borders.
The Chattooga county grand
jury which adjourned last week
took time by the forelock to get
in a strong endorsement for Wes
ley Shropshire for judge of the
Rome circuit. The grand jury
prefaced their endorsement with
the Htatement Unit it was gener
ally understood that Judge
'Wright would resign from the
bench during tike summer to make
the race for congresH, and they
therefore took the occasion to
urge the appointment of Colonel
Shropshire for the jxoaition. Mr.
Shropshire is splendidly ♦■quipp
ed for the Isfliieh and should he
be an uppli<suit for the appoint
ment, will be a strong factor in
the race. — Walker County Mes

The newspapers are conduct
ing a vigorous cuni|*aign for a
change in the date of the inaugu
ration of the President and vice
president and Senator Depew has
offered a resolution in the sen
ate recommending a constituiton
ii 1 amendment to this affect.
Speaker Cannon has signified his
willingness to cooperate with
those who are taking the load in
this movement. The proposed
change seems to meet general ap
proval. and if the papers through
out the country will eoantinue the
campaign, Congress now in spe
cial session may be induced to
take definite steps with that end
in view.
A movement has been inaugua
ted by the W. C. T. U. to secure
the paswage of a compulsory ed
ucation law. by the next legisla
ture. Petitions are now being
circulated to memorialize the leg
islature to pass such a law. As
outlined in the petition no ex
treme demand or request is made
in this respwt. It is desired sim
ply tli-at a law be passed compell
ing parents, under pain of pun
ishment as for a misdemeanor in
east* of failure to semi children
between the ages of 8 and 16
years to school at least 16 weeks
each year. The only exceptions
that are made is of children phy
sically or mentally unfit, or of
children who live more titan two
mih>s from any school, or for oth
er valid reasons which are ap
proved in writing by the county
(selrool commissioner.

The Educated vs Uneducated Boy
In these rapidly developing
times, educated men are going to
be demanded in every sphere of
life—on the farm, in the law of
fice in the school room, in the
pulpit. An uneducated man will
stand absolutely no chance.
You may chafe at this state
ment, but it is a fact none the
less and facts must be reconed
with.
The editors of “Who’s Who,
in America,’’ have rendered the
people a great service in asking
more than ten thousand men in
our country who liave become no
table, to report concerning their
educational advantages. These
men have won enviable distinc
tion and what they say ought to
be of great interest to every par
ent and boy and girl in Chattooga
county and elsewhere.
According to the last census
there are in the United States
above the age of 30, 14,794,403
males. The U. S. Bureau of Ed
ucation classifies these men as
follows:
Class 1, without education 1,-
757,023; cl.iss 2, with only eommoi
school education 12,054,33:>; class
3, with regular high school train
ing 657,432; class 4, with college
training 325,613.
Now, then of the 10,402 not
ables, of the first class, the class
of tihe uneducated, there is not
one, of the second class —the class
of those who have only a commor
school education, there are only
1066; of those who have the high
school training there arc only
1627; of Ihe college taught thei
are 7,709; and of these 6,127 are
college graduates.
It can be seen at once that
the uneducated boy stands practi
tally no chance in the battle of
life. Os course these facts can
not be absolutely true, hut they
are approximately true.
Knowledge is power in every
sphere of life. Thought is the
constructive force in the world.
Take the num who thought out
the Bi'ssemcr process of mukmg
steel. By that .me discovery one
ma n 1 in one day can make as much
steel as a hundred thousand can
by the old process. Or take the
thought, that step by step devel
oped the locomotive, the teL
egraph, the telephone, ami ob
serve how much labor has been
saved. By thought men have
trapped the rushing streams, and
caught the wandering winds and
harnessed the flashing lightening
ami made them work tor them.
The man who will not give his
boy an education robs him ot
that which in the nature of things
he has a right to. I believe that the
child has a right to become, all
that in the nature of things, it
is possible for him to become. It
it is possible tor him, by nature
to become president of the I ni
twl Stales he lias a right, to the
training that is necessary tor him
to become presuhmt.
1 believe in a computeory law
in the state of Georgia— a law
to compel those who will not .stint
their children to school, to put •
them in school at least six
mouths in the year. Is there any
one opposed to this? Let. him ]
now speak or forever hereafter ,
hold his peace.

COOPERS GUILTY OF
MURDER IN 2ND DEGREE
Nashville, Tenn.—Guilty of
murder in the second degree with
twenty years imprisonment as a
penalty was the verdict of the
jury Saturday in the case against
( 01. Duncan B. Cooper, and son
Robin Cooper, charged with the
murder of former Senator Gar
mack. The jury Friday acquitt
ed John D. Sharp, the co-defend
ant. Immediately the defense
moved to set aside the verdict be
cause of the verdict of disagree
ment of Friday and asked the
court to declare it a mistrial.
Judge Hart said he would listen
to the arguments on this motion
later. He then fixed the defend
ants bond at $25,C00 each, which
amount was accepted by both
sides.
A representative of the -Trib
une-Herald iaw Judge Moses
w"right on Friday and asked him
alsiut the Congressional race in
view of certain rumors to the ef
fecr’that he might not make the
race but might accept an appoint
ment to some other office. To
this Judge Wright replied with
emphasis: “The rumors circula
ted at times to the effect that 1
will not be in the race for Con
gress; that I would accept some
other position and so forth, are
absolutely without foundation. I
have said nothing for the reason
that the nomination for Congress
is some eighteen months from
now. .My friends may rely, how
ever, with absolute certainty up
on the fact that at the proper
time I sltall make my announce
ment and make an active canvass
for the nomination. Even before
the voluntary retirement of Hon
orable Gordon Lee from the com
ing Congressional contest it has
been my fixed determination to
enter the race for Congress.”—

“I was afflicted with catarrh of the

was all in vain.
“Had it not been for Peruna I believe
I would have been in my grave to-day.
“I have every reason to believe that
Peruna is the greatest remedy for ca
tarrh known to the world. Therefore
I have been, and shall continue to rec

This is the most dangerous time of
year to catch cold, and it is the hard
est time to cure it. If you should ta«e
a cold, a few doses of Kennedy’s Lax
ative Cough Syrup will act very
promptly. Its laxative principle cures
the cold by driving it from the sys
tem by a gentle but natural action of
the bowels. Children especially like
Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup, as
it tastes as good, nearly like maple
sugar. It is sold by Summerville Drug

“My little boy, ten years old, was pale
