OCTOBER GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS FULL OF MEAT FOR CAREFUL CONSUMPTION OF THE PEOPLE. TOUCHES THE GOOD ROADS OOESTION E Wants Better Schools in Some Militia Districts—Believes in th« Enforce ment of Law —Nothing Wrong With the Drug Sellers—Read the Paper. 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. Samuel E. Berry, foreman; William A. Moody, clerk; Henry C. Erwin, Benjamin F.

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- THE DALTON ARGUS, THURSDA Y, OCTOBER 26, 1911. 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.

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 GOOD WHISKIES.
