KICK ON KrRNSENE.


Mr.. Editor There are two and a
quarter million OF people in Georgia,
and of this number, as many as quar-
ter of million use either gas or cleo
trio lights in their homes. The other
two million use kerosene, and for
many months past they have been
forced to buy at high price, the vilest,
most offensive oil that have known to
be sold in the State. To call it Head
light" oil is farce: much more ap-
propriate to call it Tail end": ard
it is a dear purchase at half the price
charged for it,
The oil companies place this oil on
market and they are making millions
Of dollars, because they are permitted
to force on the people an inferior article
at an exorbitant price
] say the people are forced to buy
this inferior stuff, because there is but
one grade of oil on the market-the
lowest admitted under the law and
every one must bug this or go without
lights.
The oil companies are expected to
take every advantage, and therefore
the state has made il the duty of one
man to protect the people against these
sellers and greedy corporations. That
man is the commissioner Of agricul-
ture, Mr. O. B. Stevens, who is en-
powered by the State OF Georgia to
force the oil companies to place on the
market such oil as viii meet the needs
of the people. Is he doing this? The
people throughout the State, on whom
this vile stuff is being imposed, will
answer, "Noi"
Before this man WAS elected to Office,
you could purchase in any town, either
inferior or better grades Of oil, paying
a price TO suit the grade Now there
is but one grade, the lowest, and you
are compelled to burn this like in
your reading lamp or in your engine
When Mr.. Stevens entered upon the
duties of Commissioner it was announ-
ced with great flourish of trumpets
that there would be great change
made in the method of inspection, and
the dear people should have better oil
than ever before: A change was made
in the law, and in the method of in
spection!l Before many months had
passed complaints of inferior oil began
to roll in from every part of the State
and have continued up to the present
time, Mr.. Stevens oil law is still in
force, and despite the thousands of
complaints, there is no redress, nor can
be any except at the polls.
These complaints are met with ad-
vice, from the Agricultural Depart
ment of Georgia, 'To clean the lamps
and renew the lamp wicks."
This doughty official, O. B. Stevens,
could be forced to do his duty by the
strong current of public sentiment,
which is getting in against such meth
DDS, and the Press of Georgia Yields u
powerful Influence in such matters, but
alas 8! Of the sixty or seventy oil in
spoctors appointed by Mr.. Stevens, folly
one half are editors Of newspapers
There is no hope then, until the people
rise in their might and hnrl this man
%. B. Stevens, from She Office, which
he has proven himself incompetent to

Mr. Noah Brunk's daughter, of Chi

The High School Society met last Fri

rendered
The school has purchased a piano,
which will prove great benefit to the
school, as Miss Ethel Frost, our accom-
plished musician, has been elected as
teacher and music will be taught each
day in connection with the other stud
les.
Mr.. j. II. Lehman arrived last week,
looking after the interests of the Aus
tell Improvement Co., accompanied by
his son, Arthur.
MIR. U. Ii. Clark, one of our former
citizens, spent Sunday in our city.
The following is an ode to the senior
members of the High School Society
written by one of the girls, Miss Lillian
Garrett:
Come, Muses., one and all,
Come at my beck and call,
Help me 10 tell in rhyme
The traits of my club-mates prime.
First is Leona, who came from Virginia,
And lucky be the one to win yer";
She learns her lessons well
And can much of the Pharaoh's tell. .
Her friend, Eula Banks,
Cannot be counted among the cranks:
She is charming with her rosy cheeks,
And meloGious voice when she speaks
Next is Ethel Douglas, Of renowned
descent,
Whose time in quietnes5 is spent.
Annie and Jessie are our two Browns
And are never found in frowns
Next is Mary, our charming little lass,
Who is always foremost in her class
And musician TO use she is known,
For such she has already shown
Now comes Hattie and Nita,%%
All love them for their charms;
They are my competitions in arms.
For great chums are we
And are called the big three"
Now | come to the lads,
Who / can handle without pads;
First is Cliff Dyson great,
Who president will make,
And Claud Perkerson, who can tell the
Trojan war mystery
AS il iE in General History.
And his desk-mste, Luke Cousins,
TO reach the ladder of fame
He has always had his aim.
George Cox, one Of the geometry class.
Who will also pass,
Though he is not here every day
To hear what Mr.. Greer has to say.
Next is cur little Brown, Harry,
Who on great principals the interest
can carry,
And never from his duties larry.
Cecil Scott, who is not a drone,
Though young man lie has suddenly
grown.
And Ellie Dyson, with his bewitching
brown eyes,
Is earnest, obedient and wise.
We are glad to welcome MessrS Gcch-
ran to our band,
For we know thay will lend a hslping
hard
And last but not least is Grady,
As bis name implies an orator will be,
Fer such we can already see.
