Presentment of Grand Jury, October
Term, 1911.
We, the Grand Jury of'the October
Term of Whitfield County Superior
Court, make the following present
ments :
We have looked into the various in
terests of the county and have care
fully considered all matters brought
to our attention, and have taken such
action without favor or affection as
we believe the best interests of the
county demanded.
Through committees we have exam
ined, in a brief way,, the records of
the various county officers and find
them neatly and correctly kept and
some of them exceptionally so.
We find the county farm in good
condition and the inmates well cared
for and apparently well satisfied; am
we recommend that the needed re
pairs on the building be attended to.
We find the public buildings in very
good condition and fairly kept from a
sanitary standpoint.
We have examined the books, re
cords and prescriptions of the drug
gists pertaining to the sale of poisons
and opiates, and so far as we are able
to determine, they are being kept ac
cording to law.
We find the dockets of the J. P’s.
and the N. P’s. of the various dis
tricts in good shape—some well kept
and others not so good. And we re
commend that all J. P’s. and N. P’s.
go to the ordinary and get the up-to
date books.
' We recommend the re-appointment
of J. F. Wilson as J. P. and N. P. of
the Red Clay district. We recommend
the enforcement of the law forbidding
saw dust from being turned into the
water streams of this county.
We recommend that the county and
city authorities co-operate in designat
ing and preparing hitching places for
stock driven into the town.
By request we recommend that the
Varnell Station district build a house
suitable for holding justice court.
Public Roads.
Through committees, we have ex
amined into conditions of the various
roads of the county, and find them to
be in ordinarily good summer roads
but not good winter roads, but a few
sections of roads we find have been
woefully neglected—whose fault it is
we are not prepared to say.
Viz.: On Dug Gap road,, passing
thru Mr. Baird’s farm; the Mineral
"Springs Mountain road; Phelps road
near Five Springs; from Maynard’s
Mill to river bridge, the abutment of
said bridge needs immediate atten
tion; road leading by Haig’s Mill;
road extending east and west by old
Trickum; from Rocky Face to Mount
Vernon: from Kennemer’s west to
county line; from Varnell by Eslinge r
farm to Cleveland road; from Alee
Picken’s to J. L. Renfro’s. We find
the cause of present condition not only
that of shortage of money but mainly
that of men appointed as overseers
who have neither tact nor experience
in road work. And we recommend
that fewer and better men be employ
ed —say one for each militia district.
In this connection we desire to com
mend our ordinary, Judge Bogle, and
the county board for the good work
done in road building. We think they
have done well with the money at their
disposal, but we need more aggressive
and permanent work and toaccomplish
this it will take more money* and a
good deal more money and it is up to
the people to say whether it shall be
by taxation or from the sale of bonds.
And while individually we have very
decided views, yet we refrain from
giving expression by recommendation.
We commend the school law as
amended by the last legislature and
believe that through its operation our
school interests will be advanced. We
I commend our very efficient county
school superintendent, J. C. Sapp, with
his very able board of education for
the advancement made in schools, but
we realize that they are hedged in fo f
the want of more money to meet the
growing demands of the times. We
therefore recommend that local taxa
tion by the county be adopted instead
of by the district.
We commend most cordially his
Honor, A. W. Fite, for his aggressive
ness in suppressing crime; in the vin
dication of law and order and com
mend his spirit and example to all
persons in the county whose duty it is
to execute the law. As we believe a
more certain enforcement of law will
largely deter crime, and in this con
nection desire to express to His Hon
or our thanks and appreciation for
courtesies extended to our body.
We return the thanks of this body
to our efficient and energetic solici
tor. Hon. T. C. Milner, for the prompt
ness and courtesy with which he has
despatched the business of the ses
sion.
Also, our very efficient and genial
clerk. W. M. Sapp, for faithfulness to
duty and for courtesies rendered.
Also to our capable and efficient
di; riff, J. H. Gilbert, and to the de
puty. C. 11. Fraker and Special Badiff
’ . J. Barnett and the other officers of
he court for their courteous attention
to this body and for their prompt dis
patch of business entrusted to them.
We recommend that these nresent
ments be published in t l ’? city pa
pers and that they be paid the usual
fee for same.

Eugene Ely died with a message on
his lips that he was unable to deliver,
says the Macon Telegrah. He breath
ed for fifteen minutes following the
accident .and his lips at times quiv
ered as though he were trying to utter
a word —perhaps a dying message to
his wife, whom he had instructed his
mechanician ■to notify in case of ac
cident.
Those who rushed to Jiis side and
who were- familiar with the work of
first aid to the injured, attempted to
open his mouth and force his tongue
forward, but his jaws appeared to be
locked.
Mechanician Turner remembered the
order of the aviator to notify Mrs.
Ely at No. 164 West Fourteenth St.,
Marbury hall. As soon as he could
break through the crowd he rushed
|to the Western Union Telegraph
Company’s branch office nearby and
sent a message to Mrs. Ely. In this
he said:
“Ely has fallen. Come at once.”
Ten minutes later the mechanician
filed another message to Mrs. Ely,
saying:
“Ely is dead. Meet the body at
Davenport, lowa.”
Gloom settled down over the great
throng that had witnessed his fatal
flight and his preceding flights.
Within a minute from the time the
accident occurred the news of his fall
was upon the lips of every person on
the grounds. Then the information
v as flashed over the world. The As
sociated Press carried a full story of
the accident from Macon immediate
ly after the accident and then mes
shages expressing grief began to pour
in to the officials of the State Fair,
city officials and the Telegraph.
The body of Eugene Ely will leave
J this city at 4:12 o’clock this raorn
i ing, arriving in Davenport, lowa, at
1:40 o’clock Saturday afternoon.
At first it was planned to have a
( representative of the Slate Fair as-

sociation accompany the body to his
lowa home. A long distance tele
phone communication with members
of the family, however, left the mat
ter in tiie hands of Ely’s chief me
chanician. Gallin, who win accom
pany the body to Davenport, going by
way of Evansville, Ind., and Chicago.
The State Fair association sends a
floral wreath with the body. Other
Macon friends also will send floral
offerings.
At Mrs* Ely’s request the person
al effects of the dead aviator will be
forwarded to her at Davenport, lowa,
by the state fair association.

PLANS RAPIDLY FORMING
•
For the Chamber of Commerce Carni
val, November 4.
At the time of this writing by hard
work the committees appointed re
port that everything is well started.
i The Queen’s contest committee, with
I
F. F. Farrar as chairman, have bought
from Messrs. Muncy & Godwin a beau
tiful diamond ring which is now on
exhibition in their show window. This
is one of the most beautiful prizes ever
given in a similiar contest. Tn re
gard to the ring Mt. Godwin says:
“It is one of the best we have and
guarantee it to be a genuine diamond.’
This ring is given to th most popular
lady in Dalton, married or single.
This contests sure to create interest
for the fact that he value of the ring
is very expensive and bat already sev
eral of Dalton’s leading young ladies
have promised to enter the contest.
The merchants are giving their sup
port when it comes to the program.
Air. V’al’me having gotten contracts
from some of the leading business men
in town. We say without fear of con
tradiction tl’gt this program is well
worth to any merchant the price asked
for space. Tn form it will be a twen
ty-page illustrated throughout with
pictures of the feature attractions, and
every home in Whitfield county will
receive one.
Contracts have been placed with the
city for the installing of 2.000 elec
tric. lights around the post office,
where the carnival will be held.
Mr. Wallace has telegraphed for his
crew of bill posters and before the
week is out every one in a radius of
fifty miles will know of the big doings
November 6th.
Not a Serious Drawback.
“There’s only one objection to
those apartments,” said the agent of
the bidding. “From these two win
dows you can’t help seeing everything
in the dining room of the neighbor’s
on •both sides of you.”
“What’s the rental?” smilingly
asked the portly dame, who was look
ing for a flat. —Chicago Tribune.

rabbits as heretofore. Mollie Cotton

ture. —Marietta Journal.

ANY DOLLAR WORTH $650 IF
IT’S USED RIGHT.
Charles E. Rogers, who lives in Chi
cago, had until recently a silver dollar
of the issue of 1804.
This silver dollar, very rare, is val
ued by the dealers in antique coins
at $650.
Somebody stole the dollar from Mr.
Rogers, and, as Mr. Rodgers says:
“Probably went out and bought a
drink with it.” It grieves Mr. Rog
ers to think of that $650 drink. It
would grieve the thief also, probably,
if he knew about it.
An alarm has been sent out in Chi
cago inviting the finder of the valu
able dollar to return it and earn a
reward.
Many men will examine any silver
dollar received in change, hoping to
find the date of 1804, which would
change the single dollar into six hun
dred and fifty.
It wood be a good thing if the men
and women looking out for that one
dollar which is worth six hundred
and fifty of its kind, would realize
that almost any dollar can be worth
six hundred and fifty dollars and a
great deal more.
They say that John D. Rockefeller
has the first dollar that he ever earn
ed still in his pocket or his safe.
That dollar was worth much more
than six hundred and fifty. It was
worth many hundreds of millions of
dollars. For the fact that Rockefeller
saved it, realized its power and value,
is the fact which explains his having
saved so many other dollars and piled
them up into the great fortune which
builds universities, scientific institu
tions and, at times, controls the gov
ernment.
If he had not been able to save that
first dollar he would not have saved
the others.
Take any dollar out of your pocket,
look at it and realize what it means.
Tn that dollar there is a man’s work
for a whole day, and there is for you
freedom from slavery and poverty
for at least one day.
Look at the dollar, realize that it
represents labor, value, frozen into
money.
Keep that dollar, not in your poc- ■
ket, but in a savings bank, and add
other dollars to it utnil you have six I
hundred and fifty—it won't take long |
if you once realize that dollars saved I
mean liberty and freedom from ser- |
vility and submission to other men.
When you have your six hundred
and fifty dollars you will realize that j
the dollar you first looked at and
thought about was worth just as much 1
as tlyit dollar of 1804, and a good deal
more.
One dollar of six hundred and sis- ;
ty dollars means but very little un-i
less knowledge of the value of money !
goes with them.
Six hundred and fifty dollars invest
ed intelligently in land carefully sel
ected —beware of real estate sharks
and cheats—or in bonds wisely bought ■
would mean everything to the millions '
of men that lack the six hundred and
fifty dollars and that have in its place
an indebtedness constantly worrying
them.
The possession of money saved is
valuable and powerful, not merely be
cause of the force locked up in the
money, but because of the state of
mind which it produces in the owner.
The man who has money where he
knows he can get it has confidence in
himself; lie is not afraid of the pre
cent or the future.
And the confidence which he has in i
himself inspires confidence in others, j
His peace of mind enables him to I
seize an opportunity if it comes, for !
he is not the slave of the dollar earped
each day, does not live in dread of
tomorrow’s needs.
At the same time the money saved
prevents the taking of foolish risks,
or the Throwing away of a good cer
tainty for a doubtful uncertainty.
The man who has saved some mon
ey, and who has it, knows what saving
means, knows what dollars are worth.
Just a Word
to people who desire to purchasl

ISIS hand every household should be supplied g

poses.
