Summerville, Ga., Meh. 25, 1909 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 senger. 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.

Ele gantly sugar coated. Take No Substitute. 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. Truly , JESSE 0. BRAND. Wilmer Meetings On account of serious illness in the family of the Rev.

SCOTT & BOWN& 409 Pearl SL, New Yods 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.

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.”— Ti ibune—Herald.

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 Co. Col. C. D. Rivers spent Tues day in Rome. Mr. C. D.
