we shall have a good crop year in Cobb.

The Banner 'County was all right.

The Atlanta Journal says the Under
wood supplements printed in the coun
try newspapers and the other advertis
ing done in the country papers did it.
The most effective single thing that [
saw done was the publication of a
‘““Farmers Free List’”’ cartoon in the
Farmers Union News, showing the
things Mr. Underwood was alleged to
have put on the free list for the farm
ers. The proposition has not only not
been passed, it has not even been dis
cussed in tHe committee. !
The publicity end of the Underwood
campaign was certainly in the hands of
experts and they had plenty of money.

I observe that the Macon Telegraph
is now figuring how Underwood with
‘his 64 delegates and needing 729 wili
finally be nominated because the con
vention will be deadlocked. The Tele
graph reminds me of the woman who
said, *‘When I catch this rat and two
more I shall have three."’

The campaign methods on both sides
have been unfortunate, The Democrats
never will elect a President if the lead
ing men of the party are to be fought
as the factidus fought in Georgia dur
ing the last few weeks. 1 believe Mr.
Underwood is a good man and a strong
man and I have said so. [ do not be

Hill-Crest Lots are located on Marietta Car Line at Collins Switch--30 minutes from Atlanta--the first stop after
crossing River into Cobb county.
The owners of the property have spent over $5,000 in making drive ways, constructing a steel bridge
Improvement__su._ across the W. &A. Railroad and improvements of other kinds and have had a competent Civil En§i=
neer to lay off the property into tracts of Villa Sites of 1 to 5 acres, so as to give each tract a nice building site and ideal surface
drainage, having regard to the topography of the land.
This property has never before been advertised for sale, although a number of lots have been purchased by parties volunta
rily seeking them. A number of handsome homes have already been built on the property.
.+ Hill-Crest is fast becoming one of the highest class suburban settlemients in or near Atlanta. The following are some of the
partics who own homes on or near this property: Joe M. Walker, C. H. Matthews, Mrs. L. V. Stowe, Dr. Wm. M. Baird, E. P,
Howell, W. C. Gann, A. H. Kent, O. B. Logan, Robert D. Webb, James Dougherty, D. J. Mariarity, 1. S. Mitchell, J. C. Gentry.
This property is situated just 30 minutes from Atlanta by Electric Car and on the public road from Atlanta to Marietta. This road will soon be one of the
best automobile routes from the city as Fulton and Cobb County expect at an early date to improve their respective parts.
Marietta street leading towards the property is being widened and straightened, and on May 6th the Council and Aldermanic Board of Atlanta acted
favorable on resolution for asphalt concrete pavement for Marietta Street.

Democrats down home ought to cut
out the family row. I believe the South
could have made Woodrow Wilson pres
ident and might do it yet. Even the
Macon Telegraph confesses that Wilson
has twice as many votes as Underwood.
In the convention he will have five
times as many.
The tail may not wag the dog.
Underwood and Wilson are both great
Democrats and great Southerners.
Blind factionalism ought not to result
in mud-slinging at either.
3 * * *
It looks like there are some very
powerful influences at work in both
parties this year and there is no telling
what they will do. The rumor here is
that the influences that have helped
‘Champ Clark get in the lead have de
cided to slow him up. It is impossible
that he can get the necessary two-thirds
and he has done nothing to make the
convention stampede to him when the
deadlock comes. The only way in
which he can get the nomination is for
the inflnences which I mention to bring
it about on account of the fact that he
is a type of statesman who could be
easily beaten by Roosevelt, who in my
judgment is the real Wall street candi
date.
* * *
Remember what I said: The interests
that put up the millions for political
campaigns do not play favorites. They
want results. They want Roosevelt
because they know his bark is worse
than his bite. :

I'm going to keep my eye on Bryan,
not that I am a Bryan man, but because
Bryan is on to these fellows. He is
clean and he is sincere. He can tell
where the money comes from that
floods a state like Georgia and submer
ges the country newspapers. [ should
like to know. I have that mnch curio
sity and wherever the money finally
shows up, whether backing Clark or
somebody else, Mr. Bryan will know
and I expect him to tell it. .

HON. C. L. HARRIS ON
HERBERT CLAY'’S TICKET
Mr. Hatris is a candidate for assist
ant Solicitor-General on Herbert Clay’s
ticket.
C. L. Harris, better know as Charley
Harris, wrs born in Dawson County in
1872, and reared on a farm. His father
gave him one yearin college at Dahlone
ga, and the balance of the time be paid
by his own labor. He graduated in
Dahlonega in 1833, and taught school
several years after graduating. Was
admitted to the Bar in 1908, His father
is a Georgian, living near Gainesville,
Ga; and an old Confederate Soldier.
His mother was raised in Forsyth
County.
Mr. Harris is at present Mayor of
the City of Cumming, and County
Superintendent of Schools. He is a
member of the Methodist Church, an
Odd Fellow and K. P. and is universal
ly recognized as one of the strongest and
most popular men in Forsyth County.
He is a good lawyer, and an honest
gentleman, and has the respect of all
who know him. The fact that he is
connected with Herbert Clay means a
great deal of help to him in his race
for Solicitor General not only in aiding
in his election, but in aiding him in the
enforcement of the law after he is
elected Solicitor General.
Deafness Cured
When Caused by Catarrh
If you have ringing noises in your
ears, catarrh germs are making thier
way from the nose to the ears through
the tubes.
Many cases of deafness caused by
catarrh have been cured by breathing,
HYOMEI. It reaches the inflamed
membrane, heals the soreness and
banishes catarrh, which is the cause
of most deafness.
F C. Vanuman, railroad conductor
of Binghamton, N. Y. writes that he
was cured of deafness after specialists
had failed.

- Remarkable Work.
“What do you regard as the most
remarkable work in the English lan
guage?”’ “Well,” replied: Misg Cayenne,’
“the most remarkable work in the
English language that I know of is
the way some Englishmen pronounce
it.”
THE VALUE OF A SMILE.
When I was told bylthe editor to
write something about A. C. Briscoe,
president of the Southern Shorthand
and Business University, of Atlanta,
the first thing that occurred to me was
how little I knew [about him. To be
sure I had met him, casually, in various
places, even in the reception room fof
his school, but what did I know that
was worth telling? The fact that he
has been the moving force in a success
ful business college for so many years
is known to every one who has read the
Atlanta papers, but what is the secret
of this illustration of the ‘‘survival of
the fittest?”” There have been teach
ers, many and various, men and women,
associated with Mr. Briscoe, and his
pupils number hundreds from all over
the south. His school is ‘‘the old re
liable,”’ that goes smoothly and safely
on, always full of students, however
other business schools may come and
go.
Thinking over this fact I have decid
ed that the main-spring of this school’s
popularity is the personality of its
president—the fine | appearance, the
genial presence, the always good-humor
ed smile that inspires one to be and do
his best. There is nothing obstrusive
about this good humor of Mr. Briscoe,
nothing of pharisaism but just the hap
piness of a soul at peace with all the
world and confident that everything is
working together for good to all who do
their best.
It is not always the men and women
who have achieved greatness that are
most helpful to others. Very modest
unassuming people with warm sympa
thies and true hearts often encourage
others to accomplish much.
Mr. Briscoe was secretary to Major
Campbell Wallace, when he was a
young man, and began to teach stenog
raphy about thirty years ago. Since
then he has become president of a great
business college with six or seven teach
ers and all this began with the radiant
smile that attracted and continued on
account of his ability to arouse ambition
and persistent effort in his pupils. Mul
tiplying words cannot make this esti
mate stronger. Any one meeting Mr.
Briscoe will recognize the countenance
of a man who will not need to remind
the recording angel
‘I pray thee, then,
Write me as one who loves his fellow
men.”’
Several teachers from the literary
colleges have entered the Southern
Shorthand and Business University this
week.

keepers are in constant demand. The
Southern is unable to supply one half of
the calls it receives for such help.
The literary schools and colleges are
closing now, and their teachers and
pupils are already going to the
Southern Shorthand and Business Uni
versity, of this city, to spend the sum
mer months acquiring a business edu
cation, including bookkeeping, short
hand, typewriting, banking, etc.
Teachers have learned that they can
attain great success with a knowledge
of these subjects and many are chang
ing their professlons to this line of work.
Teachers are good judges of high
grade schools, and this is why so many
of them take courses of training in the
Southern Business College. .
Now is the time to enter. Get ready
for fall positionsi Don’t delay for a
rest; taking a business course is a
diversion and rest from the literary
teacher’s work. A
