cupants Of the presidential and
vice-presidential Offices, cabinet
members, justices of the Supreme
court, and other high tribunals, SEN
ators and representatives in con.
gress, governors of states, foreign
diplomats stationed in the United
States, and lesser officials without
number, are wont to manifest for
chosen pastimes and favorite forms
of outdoor sport much of that eager
enthusiasm that one is prone to ex.
pect from schoolboys freshly I'm.
leashed for the long summer va
cation.
President Taft has three forms of
outdoor exercise that afford mental
relaxation, combined with the
physical training that his physi-
clans tell him he must have. The
three are motoring, horseback RI
ding and golf, and in Mr.. Taft's es-
timat1on, the greatest Of these is
golf. The present chief magis-
trate has been playing golf for a
good many years however since
he began to go with his brothers
every summer to an obscure re-
sort in Canada, the chief qualifica-
lions Of which in those days, were
the excellent golf links, combined
with the questionable atmosphere
that permitted a man to wear his
old clothes and live within the in
come of jurist of modest means.
In those days of his early alle-
glance to the Scotch game, Taft
inaugurated a go2fng rivalry with
his neighbor, Justice Harlan of the
United States Supreme court, and
the two men, to this day, delight to
relate experiences on the links at
each others expense, class of
anecdOte that never fails to find
credulOus listeners in the persons
of Justice McKenna and other
members of the United States Su-
preme court, who, themselves go
In for golf to greater or less ex-
tent. Since he has resided at the
White House, President Taft has
devoted more time to golf than
eve: before. This has been due
partly to the advice of his physi-
clans, and partly to a deepened in
terest in the game. Persons who
have never seen President Taft on
the links would be surprised at his
agility and enthusiasm in tramping
over a four-mile course, keeping up
a running fire of Jest and comment

Military Orders.

non-commission officers and men
have been ordered into camp at
Ghicamauga parks July 10th to Goth
Military in the National Guard is
not what it used to be in the old
state MALTA, orders means orders
and a disobedience of orders means
court martial and the men can
not take orders from his boss" in
the store and the Captain of the
company. He must 90 when he is
called or ordered.
The probability is that the compa-
ny will go to Chicamauga almost
complete. Sickness is about the only
excuse that will be taken and they
will find out if you are sick.

Bank Deposits

are now being insured by The
Fidelity and Casualty Company, of
New York, the strongest bonding
company in America, giving the de-
positor absolute protection without
extra cost, the usual rate of interest
being paid on Savings Deposits.
The Third National Bank of this
city has adopted this plan and the
insurance feature is being recon-
mended by some of our largest bank
ers. Where your deposit is guaran-
teed by strong bond company the
additional protection is of interest
to depositors, especially Savings de-

Wheat.

There is more wheat in this
county than ever seen in this section
before in the history of the state.
About four years ago Hon. Marion
Dickson bought a few bushels of
seed wheat and divided it with sew
erai neighbors, advised the planting
prepared for turning the wheat into
flour when the crop should be gath
cred and otherwise encouraged the
planting of the crop The second year
showed an increase in acreage and
in interest and the interest has grown
steadily and the crops grew beauti-
fully and it is now as plain as day to
all the farmers of the county that
wheat can be grown in Ben Hill
with as much ease and as much
profit as in the Dakotas.

prizes to be given away to those Sc
curing the largest number OF votes
during the contest. Some one will,
within a few weeks, receive abSo-
lutely free an automobile worth
$1,000 and a high grade piano val
ued at $3.50. Many men and Wo-
men who could, if they had tried,
will fail to benefit by this opportuni-
ty, because they have not enough
confidence in themselves to believe
they can be one of the successful
ones. No one will succeed at any
thing in life if they lack the conf
dence to try and in order to give
those who have tried something
valuable, the management of the
Enterprise decided after carefully
considering several articles, to offer
the Overland car.
