Grfhn News: Georgia has had more than
her share Of disasters Of all sorts This year
but not even those who have been most badly
hurt are in utter despair. The fact is. Geor-
gia is a great state and the GeOrgianS are "a
great people. The one has unlimited re
sources, and the other will not be slow TO use
those resources for recuperatlon. Prosperity
is Just ahead.
Ouitman Free Press: Mr. Richard Raw of
Guitman has invented acottOn picker back
support, an ingenious contrivance which will
doubtless prove great blessing to those en-
gagged in this trying work. It consists Of two
very light, strong rods which meet at the
ground In front Of the body and held In posi-
tion by cords around the arms and shoulders
The weight Of STOPPING is thus held up and
the great strain on the back and spinal column
relieved.
Atlanta Journal: The news from every sec
ton of the business world is of the most en-
couraging nature, Banks are resuming mills
that had shut down are setting to work again
and more peaceful disposition seems to OBJ
tain among the laDoring classes. It has been
days since a failure OF any importance was
reported. Every day, the glad news of the
resumption OF suspended banks and manu-
featuring enterprises makes cheerful the tel
egraphic columns of the papers.
Rome Tribune: The modern newspaper re
porter is real hero-little considered and
never rewarded-bu6 n hero still. When the
recent storm was raging over Savannah and
Charleston. while walls were falling and the
angry waves of the sea were washing high on
the tumbllng ruins. and people were crouch
ing in terror at home, the reporters went their
rounds through darkness and death and, al
though the tempest ragged nearly all night,
when morning came the papers were out as
usual with fun accounts Of the calamities
There is a true herOism in the engineer who
stands to his throttle in the hour Of peril, the
sailor who sticks to mis- ship, the fireman who
battles the fame. and the policeman who
faces the mob, but the herOisEn Of the reporter
comprehends them all.

whether he has any show behind him or not.
1t viii be well for those in other cities to look
out for jeff. He is evidently a slick duck.
Newman Herald and Advertiser: Prof.
George Burks. who stands without peer as
fiddler in Cedar Creek district, came near
having his earthly career abridged last Fri
day afternoon in very summary manner.
He was driving yoke Of oxen, and was
seated on a load OF lumber drawn by these
meek-eyed toiers Reaching the grade point
on q steep hill, he decided to descend the
grade without blowing on breaks but as the
team gravitated down the escarpment their
speed was accelerated 10y the weight of the
load until they broke into q furious gallop.
Seeing there was no chance to stop them by
ordinary means, the driver endeayored to
ditch the wagon. Having partially performed
this evolution. he was thrown in mdalr and
landed on his allfours. But unfortunately
Tor him, while he was doing this feat he was
lassoed around the neck by the Ines which
in turn became wound around
the hub of the wagon, leaving
him a half dozen feet of halter. BY the time
the lasso had gotten in its work the bovines
had regained the middle OF the road and were
making extra hue time for COWS The un-
fortunate teamSter was drawn along on his
hands and feet in q very undiCnihed manner,
doing his best to stick his heels and fingers
into the ground to check his fleeing team
His efforts were futile however, and he was
dragged along by the impr0vised halter until
the unregenerate brutes reached the foot Of
the hill, where they stood painting while the
driver lay prone on his stomach until friend
came along and slipped the moose from over
his head. The imprints made by the profess
ors hands and heels coming down the hill are
described as resembling the track of a cuta-
way harrow. Prof Burks is now an advocate
of air brakes on all OK teams.
