wArEawOakS ELECTION

On Tuesday next occurs the cleo
ton to determine whether or no
Holly snail iasne bonds for a mu-
nicipal wafer plant From the sen-
timent expressed, it is thought
that the proposition is a foregone
conclusion.
A complete waterworks system
for our townmeans untold advance
ment in every line. to say nothing
of the new industries it will bring,
and it is safe to say that it means
three thousand people for Holly in
the ensuing two year..
To vote against the proposition
is to stagnate every interest here,
and to put Holly in the ancient
and mediaeval column.
All taxpayers are EMIT ed to
vote at this election.

GOOD SCHOOLS

Nothing more favorably adver-
tises a town than its educational
institutions, truthfully remarks an
exchange. That town which pro-
vides generously in this respect
not only assures cultured com
munity in the years to. come, but
it invites culture at once by bring
ing to the community cultured
people who know the value of edu-
cation and want their children to
enjoy the benefits. Nothing con
tributes more toward making
city desirable as a residence t.
those capable financially of choos-
ing where they will reside than its
schools. Good schools are mag
net that draw class of citizenship
courted by every city, and if they
fail in this they assure for the gen

citizens when they shall come to

Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known as
the digestive juices, and it is through
these juices that the food we eat is
acted upon in such way as to pro-
duce the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins of our body and
thereby makes us strong, healthy and
robust, and it is the weakening of
these digestive juices that destroys
health. 1t is our own fault if we de-
stroy our own health, and yet it is
so easy for any one to put the stom-
ach out of order When you need to
take something take it promptly, but
take something you know is reliable
something like Kodol For Dyspep-
STA and Indigestion. Kodol is pleas
ant to take, it is reliable and is guar
anteed to give relief. 1t is sold by

ECHOES OF The EDITORS VISIT

The Presbyterian ladies who
contributed their very best efforts
to the success Of the banquet de-
serve the everlasting credit of the
citizens of Holly, as their duties
we're arduous and their task a diff
ficult one. The Chieftain also
wishes to compliment our young
men who were willing to forsake
other pleasures and don white
aprons to serve the visitors. These
sacrifices count for a great deal
and show unity of purpose as
nothing else would.

The Leap-Year Peril.

Baltimore Sun.
 As the churchbells, foghorns. steam boat whistles. cannon crackers and automobile sirens whooped the new year in this morning the heart of g. 900, coo American bachelors began to futter. Nineteen-eight is a leap-year, and while a leap-year drags it's weary length along the shadowy. theoretical barriers of maidenlY reserve are down. It is the open season for matchmaking, parIcr intrigue and shanghaiing. Wid- ows lurk in every corner. Grass wid- ows swcop down upon the guileless in horrible hordes. Even old maids pow der their noses and take the trail
 No wonder the average bachelor dreamed terrifying a la Newburg dreams last night with his heart at the masthead of his esophagus and cold leads of clamminess upon his brow. It is dinned into his ears that he will be an extra hazardous risk, as the insurance men say, until Decem- Der 31. His friends warn him of his perils. He shies at every skirt. A glance from a pair of black eyes ap- pals him. By June 10000 bachelors Fn Baltimore alone will be nervous wrecks.
 All the same. there is no reason why the true Dionysian should let leap year shake his normal fortitude and self f-confidence. The terrors of the most strenuous Ieap-year Dmag1na hle, at their worst. are terrors that confront @ man in the open. He may observe them coming on. and he may light them to a finish like a man. The grass widow who swoOps down lis wis ible to the naked eye. She makes a noise as she advances. It is possible to evade her. to trick her, to scare her away (though not often), and even l to skedaddle. She is in the open field The glare of the good. red sun illu- 1 inmates and exposes her fell intentions In years that are not leap-years the bachelor faces far more serious odds Instead of being tackled honestly and obviously, he is approached surrepti-
 tiously and stealthily. Unable to nail | him viva voce, as in leap year, the crafty grass widow turns upon him l her batteries of deceit, allurement and chicanery. She makes him believe that he is doing the wooing; that he is the aggressor. She affects reluctance, coy
 ness, coquetry. The result is that tho bachelor is enmeshed in a manner which is disgraceful to @ man of hii
 intelligence. Before he quite knows what has struck him he Is chained tC | the altar-rail.
 Thus leap-year has It's compensa. tions. The girls are bolder than usual

BALE TO THE ACRE.

Lawson, Ga, NeWs.
 Terrell County is perhaps more famed for the progressiveness and material success of its farmers than any other county in Georgia, and ev- cry season shows some record broken along the line of agricultural endeavor.
 Something noteworthy in this line has been accomplished by MT. T. H. Bridges, a prosperous and successful farmer of the eastern part of the coun- ty.
 On a fve-horse farm during the sea son just closed, Mir. Bridges made 1o6 bales of cotton, besides the necessary amount of corn, meat, etc.
 With one of these blows In particu- lar, however, MT. Bridges made a re- cord breaking crop. He cultivated forty-two acres of land. thirty seven of which were planted in cotton. and from which he has gathered thirty seven bales weighing more than 800 pounds each-a bale to the acre. On the other five acres he made 100 bush els of corn. 150 bushels of potatoes and other, usual by-products. He used only 500 pounds of fertilizers to the acre in making this crop. which was worked by Will Shingles, a negro.
 Next season MT. Bridges says he in- tends to make forty bales of cotton with this blow.

GRANTS PETITION.
Standard OH Company to Intervene in Great Northern Case

Standard OH Company to Intervene i'm Great Northern Case.
 Washington, Jan. 6.-On behalf of the Standard Oil Company. Attorney D. F. McKenna of this. city. today filed a petition which was later granted, in the Supreme Court of the United States for leave to intervene in the case of the Great Northern Railroad involving the Elkins law, imposing fines for granting or accepting rebates which it was claimed was repealed by the Hepburn railroad rate law of the last Congress.
 The same question is involved In the case in which Judge Landis imposed a fine of ever s29,000.o00 on the oil com- pany and consequently the decision in the Great Northern case will have a direct bearing on the Standard oil Company's case. The Great Northern Company was indicted November 8. 1906, for giving rebates. Besides ob- jecting to the sufficiency of the indict- ment on a technical ground, the com pany contends the original pre- visions of the Elkins law under which 1t was indicted, was repealed by the Hepburn act.
 A brief will be filed in the case on behalf. of the Standard oil Company. Attorney General Bonaparte made no objection but said the government did not concede that the two cases are parallel.

NEW CRUISER FAILS
NORTH CAROLINA,s TRIAL PROVES M A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Highest Speed Revolution Was IF Per Minute, Waffle 11e is Required
 Another Test


 Rockland. Me. Jan. 6.---The new arr mored cruiser, North Carolina. built by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. on her screw stand ardization trial today failed to make the necessary number of revolutions to maintain her contract speed of twen- ty-two knots on any of the fourteen runs over the measured mile course. according to unofficial information. This was understood to be due to a handicap. No official report on the speed was permitted to be given out.
 As result of the trial 1t was found that her propellers must make 119 rev. olutions per minute to enable her to attain a speed of twenty-two knots. owing to unsatisfactory communication between the engine and fire rooms due to a recent order of the Navy Depart ment that the four fire rooms be tight " sealed, the cruiser was not pushed to her limit and the greatest number of revolutions per minute was IT, which fell short of giving the required speed.
 It is considered probable, however, that on the four hours run at sea to- morrow which after a slow down for six hours will be followed by a twen- ty-four hour run ending at Hampton Roads. the cruiser will better her re- Quired speed. Selected coal wast not used. There was very little vibration and no accidents.
