It has never had a saloon and

we cannot run our schools.

CRITICISM or AMERICAN COOKS.
Famous German Chef Found But One
Dish Worthy Of imitation.

Dish Worthy OF initiation.
Albert Neumann, chef to her I'M
psrial highness the Prussian Crown
Princess cscelle. has returned frgm
a tour IN America q disappointed
man.
He was dispatched 10 this land OF
unlimited possibilities TO search high
and low for some culinary d~elicacies
better than anything made In Ger
many. and all he brought back worthy
Of imitation, he reports. Ia the clam
chowder.
Altogether he found American cook
ing devoid Of novelty or especial ex-
cellence. He says the only good Amer
lean cooking Is French. Indeed. he
says that the real American eosEna
is simply barbaric-alwsys excepting
the clam chovder, which be hopes 10
make a favoFite dish at the crown
princess table.
Herr Neumann was rather as
tonishod at the failure Of the AmeTi-
car hotel cooks TO achieve distinction,
for he found they had everything to
do Il with. Our hotels. he says. have
kitchen arrangements which for e1-
t~enzlveness, cleanliness and complete
ness equal those Of the finest royal
palaces in Europe.

There are to be speakers sent

We enjoyed the privilege Of
going out to Reavley with Rev.

We are working and praying for
a great victory on the 18th OF

For Contempt of Court.

Charleston, Special. = Sam Bricks,
formerly a merchant of Dillon, was
brought to Charleston having been ar
rested at Ardmore, Oklahoma, on a
bench warrant, charging him with
contempt of court, in having failed
to carry out an order of Judge Draw
ley in bankruptcy proceedings. In
February, 1906, Bricks affairs were
in court and he was directed to turn
over the sum of $500 to the trustee.
Instead of doing so Brick boarded the
train and went West and lived under
the name of H. Simons. He was
brought here by two deputies Of the
marshall Of the Southern district OF
Oklahoma and delivered to Marshall
Adams, who placed him in jail. Brick
will remain a guest of Capt. Grad
dick. until he purges himself of con
tempt and there is no telling how
long he will remain in Jail.

The statue, standing 20 feet from
base of pedestal to top of head, was
appropriately unveiled by Gen. Cor

Lewis Gordon Brown of Vermont. and
Mrs. Frances Gordon Smith of At
lanta; and as the cords released the
yelling folds, "Dixie" from the band
was the signpl for another "rebel

The dedication poem was read by
it's author, Charles w. Hubner OF
Atlanta, followed by music in which
participated a chorus of several humid
red voices.
After the formal delivery Of the
statue to the State by Capt. Nathan
Iiel E. Harris of Macon in behalf OF
the commission, and its acceptance III
a response by Gov. Joseph M. Terrell,
the ceremonies concluded with the
introduction to the audience of Sculp-
tor Borglum and the benediction. :
Gordon's is the only monument up
on the capitol grounds. A marble
statue of United States Senator B
II. Hill, which formerly stood at the
junction of Peachtree and West
Peachtree streets in Atlanta, was re,

commanding the Department of the
Gulf. A battalion Of the Seventeenth
Infantry stationed at Fort McPher-
son, and two regiments of Georgia
State troops the fifth and the second
made up this division. Other organ
izations Of unattached military COM
panies, various camps Of Confederate
veterans, Daughters of the C~onfeder-
acy, sons of Confederate Veterans
and numerous civic organizations
completed the long line.
Gen. Gordon was regarded as the
typical Georgia soldier, and there WIS
no man whom Georgians, in fact
those. of all the South, more delight
ed to honor. Then, after the war, IN
legislative halls, executive chair and
upon the orators platform he car
ried the message of peace and fellow
ship to every section of the country
becoming in fact, a national charac-
ter admired and loved wherever he
was known. Indeed, not a few sub
scriptions to the fund with which the
monument was erected came from
those who stood in opposing ranks in
the sixties, and with each came 9
message of admiration and esteem fol
his nobility Of character and gener.
osity of heart.
This monument was erected at al
approximate cost of $4,000, of whici
$4,000 was raised by private sub.
scription among comrades and friends
largely in Georgia, but also in Other
Southern States and in some instan
ces, as noted from admiring Friends
in the North. The project was frs
undertaken a little more than three
years ago., just after Gen. Gordon
