Phxsicl.n,s Mean Trick.

A doctor was one day stopped in the
streets by one of his woman patients
whose malady was purely imaginary.
The doctor, who was known for his
intolerance of and nonsympathy with
such invalids, after listening some
what impatiently to the woman's de-
tailed account Of all her feelings and
symptoms, told her to shut her eyes
and put out her tongue. She prompt
ly did so. On opening her eyes in
few seconds the doctor was nowhere
to be seen, and the woman awoke to
the fact that he had left her standing
by herself in busy thoroughfare with
her eyes shut and her tongue hanging
out

THE HEAD OF THE TABLE.

A lot of quarrelsome Scottish
chiefs used to quarrel because each
wanted to sit at the head of the ia
Bile. Some one hit on the plan of
putting round table in the room
where they met, and each of them
then imagined that he had the place
of honor.
This arrangement worked splen-
didly until Rob Roy McGregor took
a shy at it. After he had become
sure of his power banquet was be-
ing served to the chiefs at the round
table
When the servants brought in the
roast McGregor shouted, Put it at
the head of the tablet"
But where is the head of the ia
ble?" asked the servant.

NOTABLE ADDITION TO STAT
UARY HALL,

Virginia is now represented in
Statuary Hall by Washington and
Lee-names indelibly written upon
the pages of the country's history in
close association with each other by
family, training, aspirations and ira
dition. The names stand together
among the vestrymen of Christ
church, Alexandria; they are linked
in one of the country's great educa-
tional institutions, and now they are
together in what has been called the
American National Hall of Fame.
OF Lees worthiness to stand with
Washington among the greatest of
the country's sons there is no longer
any dispute. Northern and western
sentiment now accOrds to the great
Lee the need of praise that is his
just due. AS a statesman, as a SOL
der, as true Christian gentleman
Lees name stands one of the bright
est in the galaxy of great Americans.
In answer to many inquiries that
have been asked why Virginia select
ed Lee as one of her representatives
instead of Jefferson those who had
the selection in charge reply by say
ing that there already are two full
size standing statues of the drafter
of the Declaration of independence
now in the capitol and one bust in
the senate chamber. And in addi-
ton to the statues there are several
pictures of Jefferson hanging upon
the walls of the building, and he is
pictured in most all of the large can
vases of Revolutionary times that
hang in the rotunda.
Washington and Lee! 1t is indeed
fitting that their statues stand to-
gether in hall of fame. The statue
of the great confederate will from
this time divide honors with his fell
low Virginian.

THE NEW COMMISSIONER.

Governor Brown has appointed
Mr.. Joseph F. Gray of Savannah a
member of the railroad commission
to succeed Hon. Guyton McLendon.
Mr.. Gray, who is a prominent bus
mess man of Savannah and vice
president and secretary of the cham
berber of commerce of that city, will
carry into the Office a comprehensive
knowledge of the railroad business,
and especially an experts knowledge
of freight transportation rates. He
was for number of years an active
railroad man, dealing directly with
the matter of rates in it's various
make him a highly valuable member
OF the commission. When port rates
again come before the body Comnfs-
sioner Gray will be in position to
speak knowingly and authortatively
with respect to the proposition. and
what he says will carry weight 1t
is certain, too, that there will be
none of the kind of port rates Atlanta
has been contending for at the ex-
pense of the other cities and towns
where there are wholesale and job
bling houses.
The appointment has been received
with general satisfaction, both on &C
count of Mr. Gray's fitness for the
responsible office and the fact that
South Georgia has been recognized
by the governor. There was a feel
ing throughout the state that Savan-
nah, the leading seaport of Georgia
and the second in Importance in the
South, was entitled to a place on the
commission.

DOVEREL DOINGS.
A striking Incident of Past Week.
Sunday School to Be ReOrganized.

ouHuay SCHOOL 10 be KeOfganIZed.
Literature has been ordered and
distributed, Sunday school announced
and few have met, but no Sunday

no Sunday school next Sunday, but
meet us promptly the first Sunday

effort.
One of the most striking incidents
OF last week was a ball game be-
tween the Societies" of Herod and
crackers" of Doverel, which ended
in score OF to 2 in favor of the
Crackers. " The Crackers" had
Culberson and Bowers of Shellman

two with his wife at Mr.. w. w. Lees

that they are quite fortunate in Sc
curing Mr.. Reese.

NEW COTTON.
The Shellman Sun of Saturday
contains this item:

The Shellman Sun of Saturday
contains this item:
The dear old News says that
until this year Dawson never
got below second place in the
receipt of the first new cotton in
the state. This year Albany and
! Quitman were a week ahead of
| Shellman and two or three other
towns in the state, while DaW-
son was still a week later.
| Something like this happened
/ last year. The trouble with Ter
| rell is the farmers over there
use so much guano that the
weed grows so rank the cotton
can't open early.
The first new bale is what We
said, neighbor. Dawson never gets
behind in the receipt of new cotton,
and hasn't for years, though it some
times happens that she doesn't re-
ceive the first bale" as early as two
or three other towns get theirs But
when it comes to getting new cot
ton" Dawson doesn't ask odds of any
body. Up to Saturday night Daw-
sons receipts were $50 bales, and
if there is any other town in the
state whose receipts were as large
we would like for The Sun or some
other newspaper to point it out The
Americas Times-Recorder says the
receipts in that town up to that time
were 1000 bales, and we have in
formation that Albany's receipts
were around those figures, too. AL
though Shellman is live, hustling
little town and right smart of cot
ton market itself The Sun, which was
issued on Saturday, did not inform
its readers how much the receipts
were there.
New cotton! Why, Dawson leads
the world, unless two or three towns
out in parched Texas, where the Bills
tering sun has been bursting the
bolls, are a few bales ahead of us
The farmers of this section have
long since learned that they make
no mistake in bringing their cotton
to Dawson, where there are superior
facilities for handling it and where
they always get the very highest mar
ket price. They know, too, that few
towns can offer them the same ad-
vantages for buying goods as they
find here. The stocks of merchan-
disc are large and varied, COM
petition is sharp and the merchants
are pleasant and accommodating, all
of which is to the advantage of those
who do their trading in Dawson.
An ideal cotton market and the
place where the farmers can spend
their money to the best advantage
That's what Dawson is.

THE COMING STATE FAIR.

The Georgia State Fair in Macon
next October will be the best of the
many good fairs that have been held
in that city, which is noted for its
fine expositions of the products of
the farm and the home.
The management has received ap-
plications from twenty counties for
space for county agricultural exhib-
it's, to say nothing of hundreds of
demands for space for individual ag-
ricultural displays. The premium
list this year is so attractive that the
farmers are more than anxious to
enter the competition. The other de-
partments, too, are to be bigger and
better than ever before, and Georgia
is sure to have a fair that will COM
pletely out-distance any of those
held in the past.
A matter of wide interest in con-
nection with the fair will be the visit
of President Taft on November 4th.
A state fair in Georgia has never
been honored by the presence of the
nations chief executive, and when
Mr.. Taft comes to Macon he will find
there to greet him one of the big
gest gatherings of people ever known
in the history of central Georgia.
