FINE CHAUTAUQUA
IS BEING PLANNED
Movement Already Started
to Hold Chautauqua
in the Armory.

The best chautauqua ever held IN
Marietta is being planned.
Several chautauquas have been held
here, but tents had to be used and
tent is not always comfortable, es-
pecially in bad weather.
But Marietta is ready now fDr all
sorts of gatherings and can giaran-
tee the comfort of her own citizens
and all visitors. The Rifles Armory
is the most comfortable auditorium
in the State. The ventilation could
not be improved upon, yet an aud
fence is protected from all outside
noises. The armory seats six hun
dred persons and has a first-class
stage.
In the good old summer time Ma
rietta not only has her own popula-
ton to look after, but many visitors
who come to enjoy this climate. In
addition, the eyes of thousands of
Atlantians are turned this way. The
delightful ride on the trolley cars, a
few hours in the pretty park, visits to
the various points of interest, these
are attractive to those who live in
the crowded city, and many would
welcome an opportunity to come to
Chautauqua in Marietta. 1t ought to
be a permanent institution and it
should start this year with the New
Armory Several of the smaller cit
les have derived great benefit from
the chautauquas. Albany has held
one every year for several years, and
nothing has ever done more for
the progressive South Georgia town.
New water works, new sewer sys-
TEN, new Armory-Auditorium paper
mill in operation, Kennesaw Marble
Works rebuilt, fine County Fair, big
Chautauqua-these things ought to
make 1910 a great year for Marietta

The Daughters of the Confederacy
met last Tuesday afternoon with Miss
Annie Graham. The first part of the
meeting was devoted to business
while the latter part was given to
social amusements.

Daughters will have that in charge.
Arrangements for memorial day
were made. The orator for the
occasion was selected, but he has not

or not.

ADVOCATES RURAL POLICE.
MIR. Il. S. Stuckey of Stateburg Wants
Relief From Blind Tigers.

From The Daily Item, March II.
Mr.. T. S. Stuckey, of the High Hills
of the Santee, Is in town today. He
is an ardent advote of the rural police
for Sumter county. He wants some
relief from the blind tigers which
operate in his section, also from
worthless negroes killing all the birds
and lawlessness in general. He should
have relief from the tigers. There is
an officer of the State now stationed
at Sumter whose duty it is to run
down tigers. He draws a salary from
the State for just that purpose. The
tigerism in the High Hills should be
reported to him. 1t is true that some
relief Is needed in the rural districts,
but the rural citizens must take the
matter in their own hands. A senti-
ment against selling whiskey must
exist just as much as against stealing
II the traffic is to be put down. So
long as the leading citizens will not
help the officers Of the law catch the
tigers so long will the tigers thrive.

zen. devoted husband, affectionate
father and kind friend has left an
aching void that will long be felt

PiSgah News Notes.

Pisgah, March 14.-Considerable
progress was made in farm work this
week. and if next week is favorable
the work will be we'll advanced.
Oats have grown some in the last
few days. The trees are beginning
to put forth their spring garb, which
shows that winter is passing.
l notice a good deal Of complaint
about the chaingang not working the
roads. 1t is just impossible for the
gang to keep in order all the roads
in this county, but that people lose
sight Of. The only way to have good
roads fast enough is to assist the Su-
pervisor, but that people don't seem
to want to do. To attempt to work
the roads under the old system is time
thrown away.
In pulling the tigers in Sumter, the
city did a wise thing. For months it
has been known that liquor was sold
by the Wholesale. The writer heard
a man say that he could buy it on
Main street in many places, but we
did not know that the Recorder tried
SO many cases about 60, Judging from
the amount paid for attorneys fees
each case at SIS a piece. Some of
the men tried were a surprise to us.
Pisgah church has Joined the Ker-
shaw BAPTIST Association. The vote
in church conference to do so was
unanimous.
1t is alarming to see in the papers
so many suicides. Fast living and
quick desire to get rich is one cause.
The writer said some time ago that
the gigantic fortunes of the North
would upset the Southern people and
it is doing SO. Not only that, but we
will go from bad to worse. Many
men considered good have fallen low
down, which shows that money is too
strong to resist with many people. 1t
is n poor speciman of man that
few dollars can turn him crazy or
make n rogue out of him. If money
makes the man-and it seems SO of
late-thcn that settles the case.
So Pcary is under the ban about
getting to the North Pole. He got
there no more than Cook did, and he
is just as big fakcr as Cook. Where
is the proof that Pcary got to the
Pole moro than Cook did? l believe
Cook is an honest man. but ignorant
in the fun use of scientific instru-
mcntS SO he could locate himself Well
Pcary says Cook never reached the
poio. Did he? If SO let him prove it,
Congress did II wise thing to turn him
down that line.
