AS HEAVY TAIL FOR TEDDY KITE

Atlanta, June 18.-Colonel John
Temple Graves, editor of The Georgian,
has stepped into the lin1gf4ght again,
this time with proposition that Gov
ernor- Elect Hoke Smith be put on the
national ticket with Roosevelt and that
the ticket be:
For President, Theodore Roosevelt OF
New York.
For Vice President, Hoke Smith OF
Georgia.
Colonel Graves several weeks ago in
speech at a birthday banquet to
William J. Bryan at Chattanooga,
urged the Nebraskan to himself nomi-
nate Roosevelt in the next Democratic
convention.
Colonel Bryan said that "as at pres
ent advised" he could not consent to
do as Graves suggested, but that if he
later became convinced that the nom
ination of Roosevelt was the patriotic
thing to do he would nominate him il
it were the last act of his life.
Mr.. Bryan has since spoken favor
ably of Governor reject Smith in the
event Southern man is to be named
by the Democrats.

IS RENDERED A BETTER POSITION
Prof. {. H. Mcneil Nav Decide to
Leave City.

1t is not improbable that Prof. e. II.
McNieI, conductor of the Americas
School of Music, will remove from
Americus in the near future.
1t is stated that Prof. McNiel has
been offered the dictatorship of music
in the Methodist Female College under
the Louisiana Conference of that church
situated at Mansfield, La.
Prof. McNiel was director of music
at Andrew College, at Cuthbert, for sew
eral years. His work there, it is stat
ed, recommended him to the Louisiana
school.
1t is stated that the offer carries with
it better remuneration than the Ameri-
Gus school and that the professor is not
unlikely to accept it.
The Amerlcus School of Music is just
closing it's second year. 1t is not
known who will succeed Prof. McNiel
in the event that he dlcides to remove
to Louisiana, but it is quite probable
that capable director will be secured
by those managing the BUSINESS affairs
of the institution.

KEEP ON TO DEPOT
Absurd Manner of Watering a PrinCi-
pal Street of City.

There is not day that there are not
many uncomplimentary remarks heard
about the peculiar system of watering
Jackson street. Under the method in
vogue the watering cart makes an alb
rupt turn at Church street and leaves
the remainder of the street, on to the
S. A. l.. depot, in dust.
Inasmuch as there is as much travel
over this unwatered portion of Jackson
street as on any other highway in the
city it seems remarkable that the long
stretch from Church street to the depot
should be left dusty. 1t would not
take the watering cart more than five
minutes to go on to the depot and back,
and the waterwOrks would not have to
shut down because of the water used
in this way. 1t is urged by the public
generally that watering of the streets
be made complete and not continued
in half way fashion, as now.

Small House Catches Fire Last

A three room house on Jackson
street, north, and occupied by an aged
white woman who lived alone, caught
fire at 1920 o'clock last night. The
roof was in a blaze when the fire
trucks arrived but the flames were
confined there and $500 will probably
well cover the loss to the building.
The contents, valued at several hun
dred dollars, were burned or badly
damaged by water. The fire created a
panic in the neighborhood for time.

THE SPIRIT
AND FEAST OF
THANKSGIVING

Side by side with the 'long, un-
| broken custom handed down to us by
our forefathers" of setting apart an
has also dwelt with us the idea that
we must have as nearly as practicable
the same kind of feast as that en-
joyed by the first settlers upon these
shores. From a sentimental view
point this theory is undoubtedly cor
rect. and would really work out beau
tifully We're it not for certain changed
conditions affecting our supply of sea-
sonable provisions. A regulation plan
of directions for getting up proper
Thanksgiving dinner even this year
would suggest the providing of oy-
sters, turkeys, chicken for chicken pie,
with vegetables, fruits, rich pastries,
and delicacies in abundance. The idea
is to arrange composite meal which
shall comprise as nearly as may be
the various fruits and products of the
earth. And good and praiseworthy
idea 1t is, too, If only everybody had
the wherewithal to purchase these
fruits; but unfortunately this must be
an oysterless and turkeyless Thanks
giving for many persons. The causes
contributing to this state of things
cannot be discussed here; nor does
1t much matter to the man who en-
ters a meat market and sees turkey
which he longs to purchase for his
family, but which he knows he cannot
afford, just why the commodity. with
many others, is so far beyond his
means. The thing Is he knows 1t is
beyond his means, and therefore he
will have to do without 1t. He must
to some extent give up the idea of try
Ing to initiate that first Thanksgiving
dinner in the forest.
In some respects the preparation of
that feast or the obtaining the artl-
cles comprised in 1t, must have been
comparatively simple matter. The
settlers had but to take down the
rowling piece, go into the woods, and
bring home the wild game. Well filled
oyster beds lay quite near the shore. |
The harvest was fruitful; grain, wild
fruits, such vegetables as they knew |
how to raise were abundant; nuts OF |
various kinds were plentiful-what, |
then, was to hinder the making ready |
feast that should fitly supplement |
the public Thanksgiving rendered unto |
the Lord? There is the point. The |
feast Is but the outward sign or token |
OF that which underlles the whole |
Thanksgiving idea. 1t is the feeling
In the heart. the sentiment of gratl-
tude for good received, that, after all,
constitutes the real Thanksgiving.
With this feeling present the absence
of the turkey, even though he is every
where acknowledged TO be the king
OF the feast. need not be counted
misfortune.
We are too apt to forget Just how
things We're with the settlers. We
take the idea Of that great historical
feast into our minds. and we overlook
the dark shadows that must have been

visited by death or severe and pro.
tracted Illness. But still the prepara.
tions for the feast went ON, and at a
convenient time they "solemnized a
day of thanksgiving unto the Lord"
Surely We can learn lesson from
the simple faith of these pious souls.
We are not called upon to-day to suf-
fer the privations which were the lot
of our forefathers, but any year may
bring changed conditions which may
necessitate more or less self-denial on
our part. II the man who finds him
self unable to buy material for an
expensive dinner knows that his fam
lily circle is complete and unbroken,
and everybody In health and fully able
to enjoy the dinner when it is pre-
pared, he surely has good and suffi-
cient cause for thankfulness.
So, even II in some cases the tur-
keys place must be filed by a chick
en-, and perhaps not any too large a
chicken, and even II a number of
palmer dishes have to be made to an
swer for the assortment of rich food
which we have always considered nee
essary for the Thanksgiving table, let
us not depart on this account from
any Of the time-honored customs be-
longing to the day. The family re-
unions can be complete and enjoyable.
The tallest grand child and the new.

full share of attention, and old and

joyousness and general good cheer.
