the woman Detectives worked on the
case for ONE time before they made
this discovery. They said that several
times they were almost on hts heels,
but that he would disappear az fast
as q rabbit to its burrow. The detec-
tives had no idea at this time that the
fellow had a cave and that 1t was
practically surrounded with shrub

berry that when he passed into his
AVA It closed In around him In a way
that rendered him for the time being
safe from arrest.
Brown had plenty OF money and re.

meals supplied at the expense Of the
city. He orders their meals, which
are of the best, and are always accom-:
panied with many delicacies.

His goal of life is nothing but the
tomb.
He's always just about to lose his
Job.
He always sees the big trusts raising
hob.
He always ices a grave financial
smash,
And sits around just waiting for the
crash.
There is no good in anything at all.
He hates the winter, summer, spring
and fall.
When others to gay picnic parties go,
He sits at home and waits for it to
snow.
He's always looking for the worst of

And thinks that every mans a hypo-
critic,
And nothing in this world amounts
to much.
A hardened. wrinkled. sour-faced
pessimist.
He'll die and never know what he

CREDIT TO STOKES.

Whatever the outcome OF the
approaching election may be,
the Republicans of the state
Will have to give former
Governor Stokes the credit for
putting up practically the only
campaign their party is max
Ing this fall. The Republican state
committee has taken no part what
ever, as far as the committee itself
is concerned. 1t claims 1t has not
been called upon by any OF the
county committees to render any
aid. But heretofore the state COM
mittee has not waited for such In
vitations. 1t has been the leader
and has made the program for the
county committees.
Former Governor Stokes offered
his services to the state committee.
but there seemed to be nothing
doing" Mr.. Stokes did not hesi-
tate to criticise this inactivity, and
he then started out on the stump on
his own hook. He saw Governor Will
son touring the state urging a Dem
o~cratic legislature and he saw that
the governor was practically I'M
challenged. OF course, the Repub-
lican state committee realize that
much of what Governor Wilson says
is true. The Republicans had their
opportunity to carry out their prom
ises to the people and they failed
to do 1t. The Democrats, under the
leadership Of Governor Wilson, In
one year accomplished more real
popular legislation than the Re-
publicans in all their years of power.
This truth is brought home to the
SO forcibly by the governor

HISTORICAL QUESTIONS.
By DADDY jim

Dear Daddy Jim: Here comes an
other Georgia girl knocking at your
door. Will you admit her, to come
in and chat while? I have been
reading the letters from the Cousins
for some time, and enjoy them very
much. Papa takes The Jeff, and
likes it fine. We think Mr.. Watson
is fine man. How many of you
Cousins like flowers? L do, for one.
How are you Cousins going to spend
vacation? We live within about
three miles of two Methodist
churches and one Baptist. Our boys
and girls spend vacation going to
singings, Sunday School, Preaching
and picnics. Clyde Wodall, come
again. Your letter was fine. AS
this is my first letter, and for fear
the Waste-basket is waiting for it, I
will ring off" by answering and
asking some questions. Myrtle FL
der, the answer to your 1st is, Geor-
gia was settled as a home for the
por debtors, and by James Ogle-
thorpe. I'd, Eli Whitney invented
the first cotton gin. Sd, Martin Van
Buren, was elected President in 1882.
Lena Duke, What hath God
wrought" was the first message
sent on the telegraph wire. End, Co
lnmbus discovered America Oct. II,
1892. Now I will ask a few ques-
tons. /, What is the Oldest school
in Georgia, and where is it located?
2, Who invented the first steamboat?
3, In what year did Georgia become
royal province? Best wishes to all,

Annie O'Farrel and Mrs. Troutman
are the teachers. We had a debate
on the 9Th of June On "Why Home
Life is the Most Important Part of

and then we ate our supper and went
home. We are going out camping
this summer, for about week, and

LIKES TO GO TO SCHOOL.

Dear Daddy jim: How are you and
all Of the Cousins this warm after
noon? AS I wrote once before and

ton. My school is out, and l surely
am sorry. My teacher is Miss Maude
Lavender. | like her very much. [
go TO school at Rocky Mount. Our
school will start again soon, and 1
will be glad, for l like to go to school.
l will describe myself. l am twelve
years old, have red hair, blue eyes,
fair complexion weigh seventy-five
pounds. Say, Cousins how many
OF you like to cook? I do. I have
seven sisters, and you know I don't
get lonesome. We live four miles

OF May. Nellie Ebehardt, l will en-
swer your question. The Declaration

A GOOD LETTER FROM SOUTH
CAROLINA.
CAROLINA.

Dear Daddy Jim: This is my first
attempt, and 1 hardly know what to
write about that will be different
from the numerous letters l have
enjoyed reading, but | will begin by
telling what l have been doing for
the last eight months, then answer
and ask a question. have been go
ing to school at Edgefeld, S. c., but
it has closed now, and when it closed
we were all eager to learn, first, il
we passed our examinations; second,
what cur marks were. Fortunately,
| was among the successful ones.
Now l will try to answer Fern DON
nelly's question. LIST, $4,000. I'd,
Columbus wanted to find a new route
to India, and in that W2y he discoy-
cred America. Sd, His idea Of the
earth was, that it was square AMI ty
going a certain distance the end was
reachedyand if you tried to go any
further you would fall into an open
space. 4th, by using the psalm of
Life as guide and motto, it will be
helpful. 9Th A receipt should show
that something has been received,
or it may be defined as a written &C
acknowledgment Of money, etc., re-
ceived. 9Th, A compound element is
a substance formed by mixing two or
more atoms, or to mingle together
two or more ingredients or consti-
tuent principles. Clyde Wodall, [
agree with you in saying what you
did about the duty Of the children as
to their obedience to parents. l will
close by asking only two questions.
Of what is the liquid in barometer
composed? Why is it that a frog
changes it's color, when it jumps from
object to object, to the color of that
object on which it remains any length
Of time? If it is on tree it will be
green, and is almost invisible unless
it moves, and if he gets on the bark
of a tree, he will turn brown in the
course Of time. To the one that an
swers this l will send post card,
and will expect one if l have an
sWered the other questions correctly.
With love to Daddy Jim and the Cous-
ms, l will close. EMMA MINIS,
