MAYOR JAKE c. MOORE
GIVES SMYRNA BOOST
In His Report Tells of the
Wonderful Progress the
Town is Making.

Mayor Jake G. Moore has made the
following report on the progress Smyr-
ma made in 1910:
congratulate the present admins
tration and the splendid town they
represent that prosperity peace and
health have been abundantly bestowed
upon us during the present year. Our
tax values have increased about rs
per cent, our population about Is per
cent-the health of our people is as
good as any in the land no epidemic
to mar us and no discord among our
people to impede our progress, for
which we thank an All Wise Proyi-
dence
We will have collected by he end of
the year about $4,000 and will have
paid out about $4,000 leaving a bal
ance in the town treasury of approx
mately 100000 The streets and side
walks have been kept in fair condi-
ton, considering our limited means.
We have had installed electric lights.
While not as many as the town needs,
as many as we can reasonably pay for
at this time, but trust that the time
will soon come when the city will be
able to install more lights, as we be
lieve well lighted town is not only
a great convenience but a blessing to
it's citizens.
1t is gratifying to be able to say
that the morals of the town are good,
there having only been 25 cases tried
during the year. Fines and cost col
lected $50.35, all Of which has been
turned into the treasury Of the town
1t is very gratifying to your mayor,
and it doubtless is to the entire coun-
Gil, that no member of the present ad-
ministration has collected one penny
from the town of Symrna for any
services rendered during the present
administration has the may
or, mayorprotem or any member of
council collected any cost that has not
been donated and turned over to the
town. Our entire work has been a
work of gratis, for the benefit and up
building of the town.
We have just started in the line of
progress as will be seen when we con
slider that but four years since we had
but few families in the town, now
we have population of about 500.
New houses have been built and are
still going up by the score on every
hand. The Methodist denomination
will soon build a house of worship that
will be an honor to our town and we
hailiwith gladness the organization of
a bank in our midst which will greatly
add to our financial benefit Other in
dustries and improvements will fol.
low, and we will soon have a town of
which we will all be justly proud.
Respectfully submitted.

SENATOR TERRELL SUPPORTS
THos. &. WATSON'S FRIEND

Miss Annie Burkhalter, who has
been postmistress at Warrenton for
five years, is to be displaced, it is un-
derstood, to make room for Major
Charles E. McGregor. Major McGre-
gor is warm friend of Mr. Watson
and was an independent candidate for
congress last November. Congress
man Tom Hardwick is very much OPP
posed to the appointment Senator
Joseph NJ Terrell is favorable to
Major McGregor and will not oppose
his confirmation if he is appointed.
This clash between the congressman
from the Tenth and the senator has
created a political sensation.

NO CLASH BETWEEN
GiLMER COUNTY OFFICERS

The clash between the ordinary and
sheriff of Giimer county reported in
the Atlanta papers and copied in The
Journal and Courier over the refusal
of the sheriff to produce before the or.
binary a prisoner supposed to be a In.
matte, turns out to be a tempest in
teapot. w. X. Merrick is in Jail at
Ellijay charged with a felony and
wanted, it is said. for several other
alleged offenses. He is not a citizen
of Georgia 1t is charged that the lu-
macy movement was a ruse to get him
out of jail and into the asylum. The
Ordinary wrote to the asylum authori-
ties and was informed that even if
Merrick should be adjudged insane he
could not be admitted The sheriff
took the position that he was required
to hold the prisoner subject to the or.
ders of the Superior Court What
looked like clash between the two of
fcers has simmered down to nothing.

Imprisonment For Debt.

About the middle Of the last cen
fury the power Of imprisoning a debt
or for life was taken from the creditor,
and 1t f1lls one with amazement to
think that system so ridiculous
should have continued as long as 1t
did. The three principal debtors pris-
ons in England were the Kings Bench,
the Marshalsea and the Borough
Compter. In the year 1850 there were
10000 prisoners for debt in Great Brit
ain and Ireland. The futility Of the
system was quite as great as its bar
barity. More than half the prisoners
in some of the prisons were kept there
solely because they could not pay the
attorneys costs. Many prisoners had
their wives and children with them.
There was no infirmary, no resident
surgeon and no bath. Imagine a place
In these days containing 1899 persons
and no bath and no infirmary! We
have indeed progressed. Dundee Ad-
vertlser

the test star 1t is most exceptional
to be able to see Jupiter's satellites
with the naked eye, though one or two
cases are recorded, the third satellite
being the most distinct Peruvians are
said to be the longest sighted race on
earth. Humboldt records a case where
these Indians perceived a human fig
ure eighteen miles away, being able
to recognize that it was human and
clad in white. This is probably the
record for far sight.

not unusual for a negro to pay as

one negro paid over $500 for his share

in the system of farming in the last
five or six years and one marked i'm

ton that 1t is up to them to make

reef close to ROssel island, New GUM
ca. The officers escaped in boats, but
were never afterward heard Of. As
for the Chinamen, numbering 32G. the
natives captured them and put them
on small barren island, where they
had no food and no means of getting
away. They kept their prisoners sup
piled with food from the mainland
and every now and then carried away
a few Of them to eat until all but one
old man had been devoured. This one
succeeded eventually in getting away
