ones are going to school now, and feel
their consequence. l am taking more
interest in our public school than L
ever did. Our 12-year-old, who lives
with us, Is absorbed In her studies,
and loves her books and her teacher,
and is proud when she gets marked

course help her with her sums every
night, for some of them are very hard,

are fifty-three pupils in her grade Ohe

had the sums done correctly, and when
the teacher asked those who had no
help to hold their hands up not hand
was held up. They all had help.
That makes forty-seven teachers for
one grade, and am pleased TO be one
of them.
I wish that the school teachers of
these children could realize how much
influence they have over their pupils.

grandchildren there, and Ftake note
of their progress. The days of old
Isham are past. The old man was
stern and rigid disciplinarlan. He wore
slippers In the school room, and some
times would slip up behind boy who
was making horses or dogs on his slate
and would suddenly mash the boys
face down OH the slate and rub the
picture out with his nose. He used to
have fights with the big boys and loved
to maui obedience into their rebelllous
souls. And there was Beman and
Judge Warner and my father and
William III. Seward, all Yankees, who
had TO subdue the big boys by hard
fighting, and if teacher couldn't

turned off as incompetent.
My opinion is that got most too
much whipping when / was a school

mother cried as she doctored it up and

doctor who died list fall in Atlanta

tell lie on him; he would jump ovel

GEN. MAHoNE's Cow.-.A story was
told during the war of q COW that Gen.
Malone, Of Virginia, insisted on taxi

firmed dyspeptic and thought he was
obliged to have a milk diet or maybe
die, for the lack of it.
General Lee was often bothered with
the COW. One day he said: General
Malone, we will be obliged to leave
that cow behind.'
"Can't do it, sir. If the cow stays
behind, must resign"
So the cow was actually along on
the day General Grant received the
surrender at Appomattox, and the cow
went along home with General Ma
hone to Petersburg.
The little general carried cooking
utensils and bedding with him and
was noted for his comfortable way of

Is common property and everybody has
the right to talk about 1T. Tillman did
wrong IN jumping over three desks to
strike McLaurin. About one desk was
the limit of propriety. Three desks
gives a man time to cool and that
makes it against the law to fight. AS
to the time and place, that is of no
consequence now. There was time
in the days of Webster and Calhoun
and Tom Benton and Henry Clay
when the United States Senate was as
sacred almost as church, but now a
large majority of its members get their
places by conduct infinitely more dis
graceful than fighting. Bribery and
corruption have got so common that a
man can't get there without using big
pie of money and making lot of
promises. OF course, do not include
our Southern Senator's, for they haven't
got the money. If we had some mil
lionaires in Georgia, Clay and Bacon
would have TO step down and out.

q CORPSE TAKES A DRINK. "A COR
respondent of the Richmond Times
gives an amusing incident related to

tleman, which he says occurred in his
county.
In the good old days before the war
there resided in his county several gem
tlemen who were great friends, each
of whom were fond of hunting and
were jolly friends in the chase.
On one occasion one of these gentle
men became violently i'll, and was
soon pronounced dead and laid away in
the death chamber. Four of his old
friends and chums, who never forsook
him, even in death, gathered at his
home to pay one of the last sad offices
to their old departed friend-that of
sitting up with the remains.
In those days it was customary to
set out something to drink for the
guest who might be visiting. These
old companions of the dead man had
taken their "Loddy," and after doing
so three OF them concluded to take q
Walk out in the open air, leaving the
1ourtn gentleman TO keep watch over
the dead.
While the other watchers were out
the lonely sentinel thought he would
go into the room to see if everything
was all right with the corpse, but to
his horror, that which he thought was
dead and inanimate had arisen from
MS couch, gone TO the table or side
board and was pouring out himself q
drink. Overwhelmed with fright, the
watchman made a mad rush from the
house, leaving his friend to take his
drink alone.

HIS Cash STOLEN
BY SUPPOSED FRIEND

J. R. Livingston, who says he is a ne
phew of Congressman Livingston, was
robbed of something like $500 late Wednes-
day afternoon. Thursday morning Recor-
der Broyles committed ]. J. Blakely to the
Tower to await trial in the state courts
for taking the money, while c. NJ. Ira,
who introduced the two men and told
Blakey that Livingston had a good deal OF
money, was nabbed by License Inspector
Hunter Immediately after the trial and
wall paper business, Ira having testified
that he was in that business. Blakey re-
manned with Livingston until he retired.
While Livingston was having his head
bathed in cold water, Blakey took the
money, saying he was afraid some one
would rob him. He said he would return
but failed to do so. When Livingston
awoke he reported the matter to the city
detective department and officers went to
work Immediately on the case Detectives
Langford, Simpson. White and Sergeant
Bedford all figured In 1T and $50 of the
money. was secured from a saloonist to
whom Blakey had turned it over to keep
for him. Later Blakey was arrested.
Livingston said he had $345. Blakey said
he took only $3.50. the amount recovered.
It is not known whether the difference
was lost or whether Blakey got that also
and disposed Of 1t. The officers were sus-
picious of Ira, who had introduced the
two men. The recorder, however, said
there was nc evidence upon which he
could be bound over Blakey's bond was
fixed at $1,000 and this he was unable to
give.

TAPP PRESIDENT OF NEW
GUERRY ORGANIZATION

Sidney c. Tapp was elected president of
another Guerry club which was organized
Thursday night. Meeting was held in Mr..
Tapp's Office and besides Mr.. Tapp the
following other officers were elected:
J. e. Wilhelm, vice president; DR.. L. c.
Brewster, secretary; r. N. Pickett, Jr.,
chairman finance committee. DR.. James
]. Hull was elected chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee. Sidney c. Tapp was
made chairman of the campaign commit
tee and It may be that he will tour the
state. making speeches in Mr.. Guerry's
interest.
Resolutions framed by Mr.. Tapp were
adopted by the meeting. The resolutions
which were read by Mr.. Tapp condemned
the Southern railway for attempting to be
the Dick Croker of Georgia, roasted the
state officials and others who rode on free
passes given by the railroads, and bounced
the corporations for failing to pay their
share of the taxes.
The name selected for the new club was
the Young Mems Query club of Atlanta
The members of the club, under the lead
ership of the president and the chairman
of the campaign committee, will begin
work at once. The president is an expe-
rienced campaigner and politician, as he
made numerous speeches in the state OF
New Jersey two years ago for Bryan.
1t IS likely that a regular program will
be mapped out and that the chairman of
the club will visit many of the counties in
the state advocating the candidacy of Mr..
