The Drinking Man

From the Macon Telegraph.
The manager of a wholesale gro
Gerry house at Atchison, Kan, casual
ly informed a reporter the other day
that the establishment had nineteen
travelling men in it's employ, and not
one of them ever took a drink. If
the young men with a star-spangled
breath and red eyes applied to that
manager for a job how long do you
suppose he would last? Just long
enough to push him out of the office.
Long, long ago when the world was
full of jolly good fellows, and every
body had the hiccoughs, and it was
fashionable to go to bed feet first,
the high-rolling travelling man was
the usual thing. 1t was part of his
business to be a jolly good fellow.
When he called upon a merchant his
first act was to invite all hands to
the fusil oil warehouse, and he was
expected to get everybody mellow be-
fore he limited his business. That
sort OF travelling man is as much of
an anachronism nowadays as the
town crier who used to wake people
/ up at o'clock in the morning to tell
them what the weather was like. The
present-day merchant would send in
riot alarm to the police station If a
commercial traveller with a low-neck-
ed jug called upon him and tried to
sell him goods. And the conditions
are similar in all branches of bust
ness and industry. The drinking
man is down and out; there is no
place for him except the jumping off
place

Mr.. Lorrimer of Illinois is to go
through another senatorial investi-
cation, and it won't be safe to risk
anything on his escaping expulsion
this time. Senator Lorrimer is a
man of good habits, and outside of
politics of good moral character, but
if reports do not do him injustice he
has no conscience in matters in any
way related to politics. If he is
forced out of the senate Big Business
in the future will be less active in
putting its friends in that body.

THE GRADUATING EXERCISES.
A Large Audience Witnessed Them
Wednesday Evening.

NeuHeSOay evening"
The graduating exercises of the
Dawson public schools we're held in
the auditorium of the school building
on Wednesday evening. They were
largely attended, and among the
most interesting and enjoyable af-
fairs of the kind ever held in Daw-
son. The decorations were in blue
and white, the class colors Bunt-
ing, blue and white alternating, was
draped from the center front all over
the stage, forming canopy and
making a pretty background for the
bright young graduates. The front
of the stage, with covering of blue,
was banked with blue and white hy-
drangeas. On either side was a gift
from the class to the school-one a
large bust of Shakespeare and ped
astal and the other picture of We
nus done by one of the class mem
bers, Miss Kenneth Brown. Each of
the young ladies entered carrying a
bunch of carnations, the class flow
er. Over the stage was the class
motto, Labor Vincit Omnia," and
class penants.
The exercises were in the form of
class meeting presided over by the
president, Mr.. Erie Cooke, and by
the secretary, Miss Ida Christie. A
number of interesting questions were
discussed, chief of which was the or
ganization of an alumni association.
with Mr.. Henry Jennings as presi-
dent. Enjoyable features were the
/ opening and closing choruses by the
class and song by Miss Ruth Cheat
ham.
Judge M. G. Edwards, with a few
well chosen words, delivered the di-
plomas.
The class, the largest in the his
tory of the school, numbered twenty,
and made one of the best records,
The graduates were Misses Kenneth
Brown, zuleita Clay, Ida Christie,

abeth Lowrey, Jessie Melton. Julia
McLendon, Elizabeth Patterson and

Jennings, Dudley Mize, Kenneth Nc
Lain, Erie Pace and Terrell Raglan.
The class was entertained at an
informal reception Wednesday even
ing after the graduating exercises
at the home of Judge and Mrs. M. G,
Edwards. The lower floor was thrown
open and brilliantly lighted, making
the home unusually attractive. Punch
was served on the porch by Mrs.
Edwards. Blue and white hydran-
geas were banked around the bowl
and used about the parIors with
ferns and palms. Besides the grad
uating class those invited were the
high school teachers, Misses Jennie
Belle Jackson and Chap Saville. Mr..
j. G. Dukes, Miss Susie May Dozier
and several visitors of members of
the class.

The President is earnestly seeking
way to get a vote on the Canadian
reciprocity agreement. He has count
ed noses and is satisfied that if he
can get a vote on it it will be rati-
fed He has to depend on the dem
ocrats for sufficient votes to ratify it;
in fact, its chief friends are demo-
Gratis, the greatest part of the oppo-
sition coming from the republicans.

Alabama is face to face with the
probability Of an extra session of her
legislature. The state treasury is
said to be practically empty. Every
time the treasurer goes in to scrape
up little coin he can see the boards.
The lawmakers were ready enough to
make appropriations, but they failed
to solve the problem of where the
money was to come from. In that,
however, they were not peculiar,
says the avannah News. There are
many lawmakers who seem to think
that the passing of an appropriation
bill is all that is necessary to provide
any amount of funds for any purpose
whatever. Here in Georgia we have
had great deal of the same sort OF
legislation.
