The House of Too Much Trouble.

In the House of Too Much Trouble
Lived lonely little boy;
lie was eager for a playmate,
He was hungry for a toy.
But twas always too much bother
Too much dirt and too much noise,
For the House of Too Much Trouble
wasn't meant for little boys.
And sometimes the little fellow
Left a book upon the floor
or forgot and laughed too loudly,
Or he failed to close the door.
In House of Too Much Trouble
Things must be precise and trim:
In House of Too Much Trouble
There was little room for him.

Tax payers of Dawson have be-
gun discussion of the matter of is
suing $4,000 in bonds for charging
the public school building, the city
council having authorized and pro-
yided for vote of the people on the
measure. 1t goes without question
that but few people here are opposed
to measures or policies of progress
and improvement, and as to the need
Of the additional school room there
can be no doubt. The election will
be held on Friday, May 18th.

He must never scatter playthings,
He must never romp and play;
Every room must be in order
And kept quiet all the day.
He had never had companions,
He had never owned a pet.
In the House of Too Much Trouble
1t is trim and quiet yet.
Every room is set in order,
Every book is in it's place.
And the lonely little fellow
Wears smile upon his face:
In the House of Too Much Trouble
He is silent and at rest
In the House of Too Much Trouble
With a lily on his breast.

Broughton Sent Sympathy.

From the Covington News.
DR.. Len Broughton, the noted At
lanta divine, has written Booker
T. Washington extending sympathy
for the "unwarranted assault" made
on him by New York gentleman
the other day when the latter caught
the Tuskeegee hero monkeying
around the door to his wife's room,
according to news dispatches. At

Congress has passed almost unan-
lmcUsly bill providing for the cleo
ton of United States senators by the
people, and it is believed that it will
go through the senate. Still, right
here in Georgia our State Demo-
cratic Committee, the creatures of
politicians who were once vociferous
in proclaiming the rights of the
'peepul, refuse to let the voters of
Georgia say who they want to repre-
sent them at Washington. The peo-
pie can't be fooled all the time.

When the psychological moment
comes (and it will get here on time)
you are likely to see the gentlemen
who are reputed to be candidates
against Senator Terrell fade out of
the contest as gracefully and as sure
ly as a summer cloud that watts
hitherward in the morn and floats
out of view as dinner time comes on,
and another appear as the real oppo-
nent of the senator. We do not mean
to intimate that these gentlemen are
knowingly acting a part, but a
shrewd game of politics is being
played of which they will be the un-
whiting victims

Andrew P. Rives, a correspond

make a protest against the practice
OF sowing criminal seeds (innocently
perhaps) by suggestion, and he says
that some modern evangelists are
hagrant offenders along that line.
In his card to The News Mr.. Rives
throws out few hints that may do
no harm, if they do no good, though
evidently he writes with good inten-

Not an Unmixed Blessing.

From the Triton Gazette.
Dawson is to have free city deliv-
cry of mail June 18th. Our friends
of The News will not find free city
delivery of mail an unmixed bless
ing. In Triton it costs the Gazette
something over 500 per year, and
each business man neat sum, al
though the newspaper is hit the
hardest. 1t is great convenience
to the public, but an expensive one.

Prefers LynChing at Home.

From the Savannah Press.
Booker T. Washington having re-
turned to Alabama, and the white
people of Tuskegee having received
him with many marks of their SYM
pathy with him in his recent trouh-
lie, the Richmond Times-Dispatch
feels moved to tell the following sto-
ry:
He (BOOker Washington was
doubtless glad to get back home
to his own white folks, and doubt
less feels very much like the old
darby who moved from Georgia to
a town in Ohio. Shortly after his
arrival there a colOred person was
lynched by his new white neigh
bors, and Immediately he began
to pack up his belongings to move
back to Georgia. He told them he
did not like to live in the Ohio
town because of the recent lynch
ing. The white people told him
that cOlored people were also
lynched in Georgia, whereupon the
old man said: Yes, | know that;
but if Use lynched in Georgia I'll
be lynched by my friends and not
by strangers There is deep phi
losophy in that the white people
of Ohio will not understand; but
the white folks and black folks
down South will understand.
Whether or not it is better to be
lynched by ones friends than by
adds the Macon Tele-
graph, we have no doubt that the
Tuskegee educator will hereafter
feel safer in Alabama than in New
York.

.I8 SPANS FOR
STATE STREET
illumination Plans Complete
--"Mardi Gras" Progressing.

State street merchants and mem
bers of the improvement association
last night authorized the committee
on ARRANGEMENTS, of which Herman
Philo is chairman, to sign a contract
with the Public Service Lighting
Company for the erection and main
tenance of eighteen spans of twenty
Tungsten lights each, on State
street, between Smith and Washing
ton streets. The cost will be $3.50
per light, per year.
Mr.. Philo's report and suggestions
preceded the adoption of the motion
made by William Qutgley instruct
ing the committee to complete its
plans. The committees chairman
stated, before the meeting closed,
that a contract will be signed before
Thursday night, so a special meeting
was called for that evening. The
"Mardi Gras" committee will also re-
port on that occasion.
p, S. G. To Contribute.
The Public Service Corporation
will erect the spans free and for the
occasion of July 4th will erect two
strings of lights, n on each side
of the street, as a contribution to
the celebration of the white ways"
opening.
1t was first intended by the asso-
citation to have eighteen arches, each
composed of thirty-two eighty-six
candle power lights. at a cost a trife
less than the proposition finally
adopted. The new lights are of
twenty candle power, but will give a
glow reassuring to every Contribut-
ing merchant.
Members Are Assessed.
Every member of the association
has been assessed IS and $40, ac-
cOrding to the size of his store, and
will be asked to contribute the addi-
tional sum of 50 every month for the
maintenance of the white way"
There are now fifty merchants in the
association and as many more who
have not signifed their intentions.
1t was the earnest wish of the
State street merchants that the spans
be in operation by July 4th, and as
the Public Service officials have as
sured the committee it will take only
ten days to have the system erected,
everything is working out as plan
ned.
The "Mardi Gras'' Plans.
The "Mardi Gras" will start at
Smith street and parade twice to
Washington street, where the review
ing stand will be erected. A band
will be engaged and cash prizes of
S25 and $15, awarded. The commit
tee will endeavor to secure marchers
attired in national or grotesque cos
tunes. The merchants are request
ed to give individual prizes and dis
play the same in their windows. A
week previous to the pageant all the
prizes will be tastefully arranged in
the large windows of Herman Philo's
store, as a token of appreciation for
the work he has accomplished as
chairman Of two important commit
tees. All these suggestions, made
by the committee, were adopted and
the committee asked to continue.
Thomas F.. Burke. MarshaI-

BANNER BILL
At PROCTOR'S
Athletic Girls Are Featurs
of CLASSY Show.

Throughout the varying ages Of
vaudeville nothing has attracted the
attention of thousands more than
feats of strength. Trials and exhibi-
lions of skill and endurance brought
forth long applause at Proctor's the
atre last night, when William Roeh-
ms Athletic Girls, five in number,
entertained a crowded house with
skillfuh exhibitions of bag punching,
boxing, wrestling, fencing, etc.
Two demure little lasses were con-
tinually in the limelight with their
a~pplaudable feats of athletics. They
box, wrestle and fence along with
the best, it is said, and appear to be
thorough students of the games set
apart by some n for men alone. IN
addition to a two-round go aud a
wrestling match, the young ladies
gr~aciously illustrated the fayorite
labs and punches Of the worlds
greatest boxers. 1t is some" act.
Miss Margaret Bennett and play
ers present a sketch full of pathos
and tears, yet reaching a climax Of
fun and warranted to make any man
forget his woes. The daughter of a
wrecked partner finds refuge in an
old friends home, but only as q
maid. The appearance of tile hand
some son changes things. to the
mothers regret, and an old love Is
revived. 1t is a great sketch.
Several reels of moving pictures,
which seemed to be unusually good
last night, and Arthur Cameron, in
a little turn of songs, completes an
other bill similar in eXcellency to
those which have gone before.

THRASHED MAN
WIFE ACCUSED
C. G.. Emens OF Jamasburg
Attacked by Psttee.
snecin1 to the EHENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Jamesburg, June 13:-As a result
of the story told by Mrs. Frank Pet
tee upon her return after disappear
ing from home March 18th, Mr.. Pet
tee and Charles c. Emens, the man
who Is alleged to have met her by
appointment, became engaged in an
alteration last night and Bmens was
severely beaten. After he had
avenged himself upon Emens, Pettee
gave a lecture to his wife, in which,
1t is declared, he denounced her and
said he would have nothing further
to do with her, after which he sent
the woman to her parents in Free
hold.
This section is much wrought up
about the affair. The alteration be-
tween Pettee and Emens last night
brought a vivid climax to the whole
matter and it Is now presumed it has
ended. Pettee declares he will take
care of himself and wants his wife
to look after her own affairs in the
future. So far as Emens is concern
ed, Pettee is also through with him.

PUBLIC OPINION

Editor EVENING NEWS
Only very recently the people of the
United States read il the newspapers
how President Taft reprimanded a GER
tain officer in the United States Army
for trying to hinder the advancement
of a certain young man in the army
lust because he was of the Jewish
faith. We all, beyond a doubt, know
that President Taft, was justified by
the manner il which he acted in the
above ease. No wonder such men as
he succeed in receiving greatest honors
in the country.
Only yesterday, I read in your val
liable newspaper about a similar case
(but not advancement.) The article
was about the Lewis street paving in
which case I am concerned more than
anyone else. Naturally as | was appOin-
ted by the Board Of Aldermen to rep
resent the city in the paving of the
above named street, l gladly accepted,
out Of mere duty as a citizen of the
community, and fulfill ID my work to
the best of my ability. Therefore, l
wish to appeal to the people at large
through your valuable columns and
humbly beg of you to grant me a little
space in your worthy paper through
which I wish to Justify myself in this
particular case, because the charge
against me was for Jealousy only and
nothing more.
I mentioned in the beginning what
President Taft did in case of jealousy,
especially where prejudice exists. Re
ligious prejudice.
Some of the Lewis street residents
objected to my appointment from the
start and have always tried to find
fault with my work from the first day.
I was placed on duty as an Inspector.
I can prove by a petition signed by
the majority of the Lewis street resi-
dents that I have been on duty every
day and have performed by work in the
best possible way.
Now, just because a certain mar
bearing the name Of Henderson has a
personal grudge against me (and the
grudge is because I am a Jew, of which
| am proud,) he got one or two others
to back him for the same reason and
made a complaint against me, stating
that the concrete is not as it should
be and it is because / did not look into
the matter seriously. Dear Sir, every
body knows that when concrete is laid
it takes at least a few days before it
is permanently settled down. Unfor-
tunately the rain Of the past few days
made the ground soft and naturally the
concrete had to shrink before the
required measurement. But if I was
allowed another day or two to wait I'M
til the concrete would harden. / would
then make the paving company fill in
the ground myself.
Friday night (after the rain) Gal
derman Large William D.. Voorhees,
could not say whether the concrete used
reaches the standard desired" Even
Mason, the city engineer, after
inspecting the foundation ''was also
'uncommunicative on the point and said
it would be necessary to allow the con
crete to settle before a test could be
made"
Why wasn't I allowed to wait until
the ground hardened and given a chance
to adjust the matter myself. | was
deprived Of the privilege to justify
myself just because 81 am a jew"
Respectfully yours,
GUS ROSEN.

CRAYFISR DISCOVERED
IN SOUTHERN STATES
Special b., rniteG Prsss Wtre.

Washington, D. c., June 10
Crayfsh in Louisiana and Mississippi
which are destructive to crops and
even climb trees, have been discov-
cred by agents of the Biological Sur
yey, according to a report submitted
to Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson.
Because of their enormous numbers,
the crayfish have ruined vast acres
of crops in the Delta regions. Ex-
perts who reported on the matter
recommended asphyXiation of the
pests by pouring a solution of bisul-
phide of carbon into their nests in
the ground.
