COULDN'T CALL HIM RANSY
Legislator McMichael, Representative
of Book Concern, Took Out War
rant for Criminal Libel.

AS the result Of cards in which
he denominated E. H. McMichael Of
Marion county, representative in the
legislature and agent for a book pub
fishing house, the 'Ransy Snifles of
the book business" P. Z. Duffey of
Clayton county has been arrested on
a charge of criminal libel preferred
by McMichael and held under $500
bond for trial
Mr. McMichael, who has been
member of the legislature for sew
eral terms, declares that he has never
attempted to conceal the character
of his employment from his constit-
uents. Mr.. Duffey is farmer living
near Jonesboro.
The incident is an outgrowth of
the contest among the book men
over the new adoption of school
books for the Georgia schools. which
is to be made by the state school
book commission within theSneXt few
days. The cards were written as the
result of the governors veto of a
bill passed at the regular session to
extend the present school book con-
tracts for period of two years. The
date for the action of the committee
has not yet been fixed.
Some years ago, when the board
of education of Terrell county had
up the matter of adopting text
books, Mr.. McMichael was in Daw-
son and urged the claims of a book
publishing house. So warm did the
contest become over the books of
the various publishing concerns that
a fist fight resulted between the pres
ident of the board of education and
the then county school commissioner.

FORECASTS COLD WINTER.
The Goose Bone Prophet Says 1t Is
to BE Severe.

to BE Severe.
Already there are evidences to the
goose bone prophet that the coming
winter is to be severe. Just how
severe cannot be fOretold, but there
are indications, he says, that last
winter will be remembered as ex-
ceedingly mild when we go against
the real thing next January.
In the first place, the goose bone
prophet says that the leaves are fall
ing too early. 1t is not time for
the leaves to leave the trees for a
fortnight, but already many lawns
are beginning to bear evidence of the
approach of fall.
Then, too, the past summer has
been unusually wet and cold. That,
forecasts a cold winter, says the old
timer.
1t is noticed that chickens moulted
earlier this year than ordinarily, and
poultry men say they are more
heavily feathered than usual. Close
observers say that squirrels are bury
ing nuts deeper than usual That's
the way it goes-signs of cold
weather are plentiful this fall.

lie Told Negro Baptists That When
He Is Elected Their Color Would
Not Count Against Them.
The real activities of the campaign
have begun for William H. Taft, re
publican presidential candidate.
Three political addresses were the
demands made upon him during his
last day in Cincinnati before start
ing on his western trip.
One of Mr., Taft's addresses was
TO the national convention of the ne
gro Baptists. His expression of SYM
pathy for the struggles of the negro
race elected warm applause from. the
Baptist preachers, who met the can
dldate at the Sinton Hotel, and his
words to the convention were warm
~ received.
When / get into the white house
assuming I am to be put there
no plea of negro will have any less
consideration because he is a negro
rather than white man." said Mr..
Taft to the negroes.
An Analysis of Bryan.
In another speech. after reviewing
the record of the republican party
as one of action and future relia-
bility, he depicted his idea of the
democratic policy of promise" and
then devoted himself to an analysis
Of Mr.. Bryan
1t was the first time Mr.. Taft had
paid his respects to his opponent in
an extended manner, and what he
said was listened to with great inter-
est. The Bryan feature of Mr..
Taft's speech came as the conclusion
of 10,000-word address in which
the accomplishments and purposes of
the republican party were contrasted
with what the speaker termed the
democratic record of opposition and
promise.
Turning now to the other pic
ture," said Mr.. Taft, what is it that
we have to expect from Mr.. Bryan?
Have we anything to expect but what
he promises? Have we anything to
expect but what is based upon his
eloquence and his adroitness as a
public critic? Has he ever given any
political demonstration of his ability
TO meet problems and solve them?
Has he ever done anything but for
mulate propositions In his closet of
an utterly impracticable character,
largely with a view of attracting
votes by their plausibility and very
little with a view of their opera
ton? BY their fruits we shall know
them."'

ROBBED EVERY STORE IN TOWN

Probably Same Burglars Who Visited
Several Terrell County Towns.
1t had been thought that the gang
OF burglars who has been working
south Georgia had quit this part of
the country, but they made raid
on Metcalfe, in Thomas county, a few
nights ago, entering the depot, post
office and nearly every business place
in the town.
At the postofice they took 500;
at the depot they came across a lug
of whiskey which they appropriated
and from the stores they took cloth

Work in This Section.


Work in This Section.
Working above Americas an en-
cheering corps is making preIimina-
ry surveys along" the route of the
Central Railway to the end of re-
ducing heavy grades and eliminat-
ing curves, seemingly needless, and
which, when completed, will greatly
facilitate the operation of trains.
Engineer Brown, in charge of this
important work, made a beginning
at Albany and has progressed to a
point above Americus Just north of
this city, for instance, the Central
makes reverse curve almost equal
to the celebrated "Barnesvine bend. >"
1t is on a steep grade, and heavy
trains get over it only with great
difficulty. The elimination of these
needless kinks" will result in a
shortened mileage and better time in
making schedules. This division
pays the Central system as hand
somely as any operated, and it will

WIDOW OF 70; YOUTH OF 26
NEW YORK CHARITY WORKER
INSURANCE BROKERS' BRIDE.

Have Hooked Up, and Will De-
eide Later Whether Mar
riage Is Failure.

riage Is Failure.
A Johnstown, n. Y, dispatch says:
Mrs. Anna G. Ross de Peyster of
New York, 70 years old and already
twice a widow, was married at her
country home here Monday to Ernest
Bolton, 26-year-old insurance
broker, also of New York. The mar
riage is something of a surprise to
Mrs. de Peyster's friends, both on &C
count of the youth of the bridegroom
and Mrs. de Peyster's advanced age.
The ceremony took place at Sun
nyside, Mrs. de Peyster's summer
place. The interior of the house was
profusely decorated with flowers
which came from Mrs. de Peyster's
own greenhouses. Only few
friends. of the couple were present
at the ceremony. After the wedding
a luncheon was served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bolton, it is under
stood, will remain in Johnstown IN
til October, when they will return
to Mrs. de Peysters apartment in
Euclid Hail. New York.
Mrs. de Peyster's maiden name
was Anna G. Campbell She was the
widow of Mr. Ross when she married
the late Col. Beckham de Peyster.
BY the terms of her first husbands
Will she receives an income of S10,-
600 year in trust
Pensioners of st. Ignatius'
church, of which Mrs. de Peyster
and Mr.. Bolton are both members,
were surprised to learn that the
marriage of the 70-year-old widow
and the young insurance clerk one |
third her age had taken place. 1t /
was said that Mr.. and Mrs. Bolton
were frequently seen together in the
latter's pew at st. Ignatius' and else
where. An engagement between the !
two has frequently been the subject /
of gossip, but as far as could be
learned last night one had never |
been formally announced.
A few nights ago Edward Bolton,
the young bridegroom's father, was
asked whether the engagement ex-
listed. He replied: There's nothing
to it" He refused last night to dis
cuss his sons action. At the Euclid
apartments, where Mrs. Ross de Pey-
ster-Bolton lives when in the city,
1T was said that Col. Beekman de /
Peyster died six years ago.
Mrs. Bolton is a prominent phi
lanthropist and church worker She
is a member of the State Board of
Charities, having been appointed in
1905, and for many years did mis-
sionary work in the Tombs Prison.

LETTER TO II. G. BEAVERS,
Dawson, Ga.

Dear Sir: Mrs S c Ashes house
in Yorkville, S c, was painted Devoe
81 years ago and hadn't been painted
since; it is a handsome house and
the paint was in good condition when
we were there three years ago.
Do we therefore say that Devoe
wears q years in South Carolina?
No; on the sandy coast, where the
sun is hot and the flying sand cuts
the bark off trees, Devoe is the only
paint that wears more than one year.
Localities differ; Devoe doesn't
differ. 1t is the paint that takes least
gallons to cover a job and makes
least cost and wears longer; how
long depends or sun wind sand etc.
Yours truly f w DEVOE & co
P. s. Peoples Drug Store and
