A few days ago Mrs. Will Sum
mers was riding horse back up or
down Sycamore and some where near
the residence of Frank Hathaway
the horse became unruly, wanting to
go its own way, and in trying to
guide the horse it plunged, falling
backwards over an embankment, fall
on Mrs. Summers. Her cries for help
attracted the attention Of Mrs. Frank
Hathaway, who went to her relief and
only succeeded in rescuing her from
her perilous condition by the merest
accident. The most of the weight of
the horse was resting on fence. AT
ter two or three days Mrs. Summers
was able to go home. The horse was
not seriously hurt.

EDITOR CHRoSIc.E: We see an

that capacity and is from the said
West Fork. And we have almost
taken an oath that we will support
no one who breaches up the system of

Supt., we think that the office should
be done away with. Well, we hear
many names suggested for County
Commissioner and we would like to
see Capt. James Mcdonald elected to
that office. Mr.. Mcdonald is one OF
the heaviest taxpayers of our County
and an all round business man if he
is a republican. We are not so hide

that we could not support man like
the Capt. and we think he would let
US have little medicine for our

New Art Education In tho South,

One of the most pleasing signs OF
the times in our southern states is tho
widespread interest being shown in
technical education. There the indus
trial conditions have undergone
marked changes within a few years.
In many sections the planter is giving
way to the manufacturer, and the lat
ter. usually with northern training
and capital, is already competing with
success, especially in the lines of iron
and steel and wooden and cotton goods,
with older concerns elsewhere. Under
several acts Of congress these states,
with all others, have been encouraged
to establish agricultural and mercan-
tile colleges that are usually attached
to state universities and are similarly
controlled. Excellent as most of these
are, it is doubtful If there are any
that really answer the demands Of the
day. The new movement is most in
timately related to these interests that
are building up the south as a manu-
featuring section. In the heart Of the
cotton and woolen-mill center Of
Georgia, and under the direction Of
the Atlanta Technical School, a spe-
cial textile school is being erected and
equipped, and the same is being done
in similar places in the two Carolinas.
These schools are projected on tho
model of those in many Of the chief
manufacturing cities of Europe, and
differ in purpose and results from any
now In operation in this country.

Sovcl Method Employed by a Chicago
Grocer to Attract Custom.
If you wish to attract people to you.
place Of business make an offer of
something for nothing. This is an
axiom Of commerce which applies to
the good people of Chicago with pecu-
liar force. The desire to win a prize,
no matter if it be intrinsically worth
less, amounts to passion with Ameri-
cans. The procuring Of something
without price, and If to do so means
the expenditure of considerable sum
of money, always brings reward 10
him who makes the offer. A grocer
Of the west side has discovered this
fact. He has gone further and is put
ting his knowledge to practical use.
He is anxious that each patron shall
spend big round dollar with him.
Hence he has put up the following leg
end in his store window: "One peck
of potatoes or a basket Of peaches with
every dollar purchase" This offer
was placed in the window a couple OF
days ago. The result was sudden
interest in the crafty groccr's wares.
Everybody wanted the peaches or pc.
tatces and many dollar was spent
when the purchaser really did not need
that amount of commissary stores
But The spending carried the peck or
basket and the purchases were willing.
