SAVANNAH BOY DOES ALL
THE COUNTRY PROUD
Bobbie WaIthour Will Come to His Old Home to
Recuperate

When bulletins were flashed over the
wires Saturday night that Bobby Wal
thour and Bonnie Munro had won the
great six-day bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden there was surprise ev-
erywhere, except in the South, where
these two lads imbibed the spirit and
indomitable courage which kept them
grinding away in the heart-breaking
test of speed and endurance.
Savannah claims Bobby Walthour. for
it was here that he received his early
training, even on the bicycle. There are
many who remember the blonde haired
little messenger boy that delivered tel
egrams for the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, and still more re-
member the worlds champion indoor
and out-of-door bicycle rider as they
saw him defeat all Corners on the Sa-
vannah Coliseum track.
Walthour was put in the Bethesda
Home when he was achild, and as soon
as he was able to look after himself
he was given position delivering mes
sages for the Western Union Telegraph
Company. He worked his way up un-
til he fitted himself to pass an exami-
nation in the civil service, and was
given mail route on the Western and
Atlantic Railway from Atlanta to
Chattanooga. But all the time he was
on the road Bobby carried his wheel
with him. When he got off the car
at Chattanooga that was the first thing
he thought OF, and he took the great
est pride in winning the amateur
events that were run in Atlanta on
holidays. He soon attracted attention
by his persistent winning form, and he
was taken up by Gus Castle, and other
race promoters, and IL was soon dis
covered that In Walthour there was the
making Of a worlds champion, and no
one knows better than those who have
ridden against him how he has made
good.

Rockford Register: Now
here is a word to the young
man of 20, who, having a fail
common school education anc
not afraid of work, would like
to make the most of himself
and get out of the ranks of
the army of common plugs and
shape his life on a broader and
higher plane. While there are
other ways and other openings,
will only mention one way in
Which he may do that which he
desires. The feeding of loo.-
100000 people is to be a great
problem in this country before
long. TIE young man who
makes a study of how to pro-
eace the food needed IN the
t. to Ia take kasfffh1e'sii1t fffh1ee earth ana Che low
and the hen and the steer, the
forest and the garden and the
orchard, and get the best out of
them, is bound to be a man who
will be in great demand, for he
will know something which will
be of great value to the whole
country. AS we look at it,
there is no more inviting field
for the young man of today
than this, and a nice thing
about it is that the study of
these problems will not only
make him of practical use to
the world, but he will grow to
be a broad-gauged man as we'll
for no man can study nature
and her laws and be small and
narrow. Think this over, boys.

The saloon petition from
Missouri Valley was canvassed
Monday by the Board of Super
visors and found to contain a
trifle over eighty-two per cent
of the names of the legal voters
of that city, hence their prayer
was granted and saloons
once more run undisturbed in
the Valley. The anti-saloon
league of the county made no
fight against the saloon petition
taking the stand that where the
legal majority was obtained
the efforts of the league should
be confined to holding the sa-
looms that will be opened to a
strict conformance with the
law. This action will give Mo.
Valley saloons, but will doubt
lers restrict the saloon business
for the county to that town.
We hope the matter is now

pie of the county. Woodbine

Mr.. Gilchrist has completed
his work in the sheriff's office
and finds that Mr.. Shelton had
by duplication drawn between
100000 and $4,000 more than
he was entitled to. He and
Shelton were working all day
Tuesday on the recapitulation
and agreed on something like
100000 but there seems to be
some disagreement as to the
other 5000 or thereabouts. Mr..
Shelton, we understand, is ready
and willing to put up the
amount as soon as a definite
conclusion is reached, and was
surprised to learn that he had
overdrawn to any such an
amount. This is accounted for
