all matters appertaining to opera
ton, and especially that he approve
all bills. In regard to the latter, he
should see that they are rendered
promptly on delivery of materials,
so that they may be checked, and il
correct approved, and then passed on
promptly to the chairman of the COM
mittee for payment.
We also suggest that in lieu OF
various checks now issued at differ
ent times in the course of a month
for wages and salaries a weekly pay
roll be prepared of all employees;
that it be approved by the Super
intendent and the chairman of the
committee, and that one check be
drawn for the total amount, the pro-
ceeds to be paid to employees regu-
larly on the same day each week

BROWN HAS 1T ON GRAY.
Makes Sharp Reply to Editor of the
Atlanta Journal.

Atlanta Journal.
Governor Brown has replied to an
editorial in the Atlanta Journal
which criticised his action in allow
ing options to expire for lands for
w. & A. terminals in South Chatta-
nooga. The governor says:
'The editor of the Atlanta Jour
nal is laboring under the misconcep-
ton that he is the people of Georgia,
whereas he is only one of about two
hundred and thirty thousand white
male citizens, either one of whose
opinion or demand is as weighty as
his. Coupled with this misconcep-
tion is his impression that it is the
duty of the governor of Georgia to
report to the Atlanta Journal. That
is also a palpable error. 1t is the
duty of the governor to report to
the general assembly. That body
will convene the last Wednesday Of
next June.
I'm the meantime, speaking quite
personally, I will state that on June
4, 1908, the sovereign people of
Georgia gave me an order not to
report to the Atlanta Journal That
order l can be depended on to obey"

proving such bills he trusted partly
to memory, but that when bills were
submitted months after purchase and
delivery he could not exactly remem-
Der the details. 1t is obvious that
an approval under such circum-
stances is merely perfunctory.

jurisdiction Of the Council or of the
Water and Light Committee, the Su-
perintendent be made responsible for

Council Meeting.

The city council met in regular
session last Monday evening.
The guttering and curbing was
largely extended by order of the
council.
An ordinance was passed ex-
cluding the new Rock Grain Com.
pany'S elevator from the fire lin
its. This only applies to the 40
foot square including the elevator
proper.
An ordinance prepared by Judge
Cole for Sunday closing, in re-
spOnSe to a petition of the business
men was laid on the table. Judge
Cole said the only way to drawan
ordinance of this character was
to make it sweeping, that such an
ordinance, filled with exceptions,
would not stand. 1t must cover
everything or nothing. 1t was
deemed an inOppOrtune time, just
at the threshold of harvest to pas
an ordinance of this character. 4
strict enforcement of such an or
dmance would make it impossible
for farmers to get machinery re-
pairs on Sunday.
E. W. Moses was sworn in as
councilman from the second ward
to succeed Mic Smith.
On motion of Councilman Levi
committee of three was appoint
ed to draw up resolutions express
sive of the appreciation of the
council of the services rendered
by Councilman Smith during his
term. The committee appointed
by the mayor consisted of Lewis

OF industry. We believe the ques
ton Of prices can be handled in a
satisfactory manner by the best
heads of the combined forces of
the farmers organizations of the
country, who will carefully weigh
all the conditions and contingen-
cies as they arise from time to
time and place prices on a busi-
ness rather than a speculative ba-
Sis as they are at present.
Among the reform advocated
by the farmers societies represent.
ed at this meeting are: Abolish
ing gambling in farm products;
securing without delay a parcels
post; securing without delay post
al savings banks; more stringent
legislation along the lines of re-
stricting foreign immigration: Sc
curing the defeat of the proposed
central bank; the initiative and
referendum and the right of re-
call; building Of government ware
houses to store farm products and
the government advancing so per
cent of the value of said product
as a loan until sold.

it should be done at once, as only
little time is left for this work.

Normal Notes.

The annual normal social wa
held Tuesday evening and was Z,
grand success. The several con
mnteeS had made every possible
preparation to see that the teach
ers enjoyed themselves.
Each teacher and visitor was
tagged with his or her name as a
scheme for getting all acquaint.
ed. Provision was made to have
each person present represent
some book, and a good deal of hill
arlty was in evidence during the
search for the names of the DIFF
ferent books.
After sufficient time was used
up IN naming the books represent.
ed the merry makers moved TO
The assembly room where the pro-
gram was rendered. A piano du-
ct by Misses MOffat and Clark. a
vocal duet by Mrs. O'Neal and
Miss Thatcher, A reading by Miss
Georgie Butler, a vocal solo by
little Miss Markey and a reading
L y
by Miss Fannie Gwinn made up
one of the very best programs ev.
er gwen on such an occasion.
After enjoying the excellent
program the refreShment commit
tee saw that all present were serv
ed with Ice cream and waters.
The teachers spent a very pleas
ant evening and think that the
normal social is a part of the
Normal Institute. Those having
charge Of the social are to be
thanked for their efforts which
resulted so successfully.

They Went to the Country.

A number of gentlemen friends
of Frank Kern of Liberty town
ship, and Louis Zutavern of this
city, were entertained by them
last Sunday afternoon at the ele--
CANT country home of Mr.. Kern.
About twenty-five were present,
and they enjoyed a fine afternoon
The occasion and the weather
were just right, and aside from
the good things they were treated
to, it was a genuine pleasure to
spend a few hours at the Kern
home, which is one of the finest
around. A large lawn with fine
grass, beautiful flowers of var
iOuS kinds, fine, large shade trees
substantial cement walks around
the house and through the
grounds, and everything for the
comfort, convenience and pleas
ure of the family is to be found
there, and all was enjoyed to the
fullest by those present. Mr..
Kern has been a resident on that
quarter for about 35 years, and
has seen all the ups and downs
that have come to the KanSans in
that time. We rejoice with his
many other friends that he is now
IN position to enjoy the fruits of
his labOrS. He has asked us to
thank the visitors for the cOur-
tesy of calling on him, but in our
opinion the visitors owe him a vote
cI thanks for the privilege of call
ing, and on their behalf we ex-
tend them to Mr.. Kern and family
