Minstrel Show Money
To Build Church

Atlanta, Dec. IA minstrel
show to raise money to build a
church-that is what the people OF
College Park are doing to get funds
to complete the ST. Johns church,
which was started a few months
ago. Sunday school superintend-
ents, teachers and boys are going to
black themselves up and put on a
vigorous program with jokes, songs.
dances and everything that is ex-
pected in regular minstrel show.
Needless to say some of the old
er and more conservative bretheren
and sisters are looking askance at
this method of raising money for
the Lord.

Chicken Thieves

| Probably the busiest man in tltz-
GERALD (not today but tonight is
the chicken thief. Indeed unless
there is more than one of him he
! is on the run every night, running
to the roosts and from the roostS for
he is covering lots of ground and
literally cornering the poultry sup
ply in this vicinage.
We have offered a reward OF a
hundred dollars to have him deliver
ed to us with proof. We find quite
a number of our neighbors ready to
chip in and increase the reward,
1t may be that those who devote
themselve to that kind of work are
waiting for the offer for larger re-
ward, but $4,000 ought to be suf-
ficient, We believe we could cap
ture the sneak in twenty four hours.
We believe we can tell the man
who wants to find the thief exactly
who he is, and would be glad to do
so.
The man who will capture the
chicken thief will be considered a
benefactor, patriot, and philan-
thropist by a large number of our
best people for quite number OF
them have suffered from his noctur-
al raid.

We shall greatly appreciate 1t Ii
the papers of the state will realize
the Importance of this meeting and

Young Prisoners
Escape

Atlanta, Ga. Dec. 12.-The county
juvenile court is beginning to be
viewed in a jocular light by the
members of the regular police de-
partment, because so many of the
youthful prisoners manage to make
their escape when they are turned
over to the probation officers. -Four
times during the last week alone,
youngsters have given the officers
the slip. They maLage somehow to
wriggle away as they are being trans
ported from the Jail to the court
house.

Georgia Drainage Congress
TO Meet at Waycross
Waycross, Ca. Dec. 8-11

Gentlemen
On the 18th. of this month the
Georgia Drainage Congress will hold
its annual meeting at Waycross, Ga.
ANow, in the connection with the
announcement of this meeting l
wish to say a few words on the
subject of drainage in Ga. The for
nation of this congress, which held
annual meetings in different cities
over the state each year choosing
different place, is the result OF
much work and patriotism on the
4 part of a few people in several
( parts of the state, especially these OF
South Georgia, where the need for
drainage is greatest felt. In De-
cember 1909, and January and
FEBRUARY 1910 the National Bureau
of Drainage Investigations, at the
urgent request of Congressman
Edwards and Brantly, sent some OF
its engineers into this state to
make preliminary examinations OF
the drainage conditions in several
counties in South east Georgia. AS
a result of these examinations,
which have been published in bulle-
tin form by your state Geologist-
see bulletin No, 25-the people liv-
ing in the section covered by these
examinations became very much
interested in the subject, and In
the spring of 1910 called a meet
ing at Waycross. at which meeting
the Georgia drainage Congress was
made a permant organization, Oil
GERS were elected, and a legislative
committe appointed to formulate
suitable drainage law applicable
to the entire state. The congress
again met at Brunswick, and later
at Fitzgerald, on the 31st. Of May
1911. The people had become so
enthusiastic by then that it was an
easy matter to get the past legis-
lature to pass upon and enact a
very good drainage law that the
legislature Committee had. drawn
up. In all of this preliminary
work the newspapers of the state
ardently assisted the congress by
giving wide publicity of the propos-
ed law, and by insisting through
their editorial columns upon the
passage of this bill. AS to the
merits of this new state drainage
law, those who have taken the
time and care to study it close
none can deny Suffice to say that
it makes ample provision for
the progressive land owners of any
community to reel aim the wet or
overfowed lands to the best adya n
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1911-12-12

too glad to visit any part OF the
state where enquiries are made and
make examinations with view OF
going further into the matter II
such is warranted. This bureau
publishes much literature on the
subject of which will be OF much
value to any having lands too wet
for cultivation. Request for exam
nations or surveys should be made
to the Waycross Office, while request
of literature on drainage should
always be made to the Washing
ton office.
Regarding the program for the
meeting of the state congress on
the 18th | would like to say that
we have arranged a most attrac-
tive program consisting of several
widely known speakers. The Hon.
II. j. Watson, Commissioners of Ag-
riculture, Commerce and Industries
of s. C. will make an address on
The relation of drainage to the az
riculturaI development OF the South.
Mr.. Watson is an international fig-
ure, and an authority on his work.
We also have DR.. Joseph Hyde
Pratt, State Geoligist of N. c., and
the leader in the great reclia nation
which that state has been doing in
the way of retaining its part OF
the great Dismal Swamp. He will
very entertainingly tell of the prob
lens which his state has settled in
that swamp as we'll as in other
parts of the state. Prof. S. w. Nc
Callie. our own State Geologist, will
give an illustrated lecture on The
wet and overlooked lands of Geor-
gia." Prof. McCallie has studied
this question quite exclusively in
this state and his lecture on this
subject should prove very interest
ing as well as beneficial to all who
will have the pleasure Of hearing
him. DR.. Len G. Hardman,. Of Com
merce, Ca, will give a lecture on
tile drainage in North Georgia, and
as DR.. Hardman has had some 20
years of practical success in this
work in North Georgia. His talk
should be appreciated by all. Col.
A. R. Lawton, Vice-Pres. of the
Central of Georgia R. R., Mr.. W. H.
Leahy, Gen. Pass. Agt. of the A. B.
& A. r. r., and other prominent
railroad officials will speak on the
railroads interest in drainage in
Ga. |, myself, will talk on the
methods and cost of drainage under
the several conditions over parts of
the state. We also expect to have
Congressman Chas. B. Edwards and
w. G. Brantley with us to talk on
the significance of drainage. Now,
with the exception of the two last
named speakers, all have accepted
the invitations to speak, so if we

taee. both as to cost and time re-
quired to legally do the same, and
lust here I would like to say that
though many of the several sec
ton of the state have taken adj
VANTAGE of this excellent law,
there are yet many sections where
drainage should be a most vital
issue, but in such they have as yet
for some unexplainable reason not
taken any notice of the law. This,
no doubt is in some instances due
to thefact that many do not know
of the law, while in still others it is
gross neglect of the gravest if not
the gravest probless, agriculturally
speaking, that the people Of South
Georgia have to settle. In other
words, it is not the settlement OF
this question that the future de-
velopement of a large part OF GeOr-
eia is concerned. In many parts
of this question the question OF
drainage is prior to that OF good
roads, which the papers OF the
state have advocated so vigorously
and in most instances so success
fully, for with the drainage OF these
wet acres the question of construc-
ton permanent roads will not only be
simplified, their cost lessoned and
their maintenance greatly decreased,
Too, it is most likely that those in the
tour around the state which has
lust been closed, was very much
struck with many miles of almost
wasteless lands that are wet or
overfowed and not fit for cultivat-
ing. Yet, these waste lands that
they beheld in most instances the
very richest soils that we have in
this state. Now, we need good
roads over which to haul our food
stuffs from the market, thus send
ing out of the state many thousands
of dollars each yesr to states in the
west and central part of this coun-
try. while if we had these lands
drained and under cultivation we
would need the good roads over
which to haul our food-stuffs to the
markets, thus bringing many thous-
ands of dollars into the state. 1t is
then that these communities that
have so much wet lands at present
would need and could better afford
the best permanent road to be had.
The people in the state have been
very negIectful in this matter, and
they should secure literature on
this subject, study the question as
it has been treated in other states,
and begin now business under
taking that they should have long
since undertook, from a business
standpoint. The u. S. Bureau of
Drainage Investigations has estab-
lished an Office in this state, and
has an engineer who will be only

Open Gambling
u. S. Drainage Enginee

| Atlanta, Dec. 12-With the ap'
proach of Christmas, an epidemic Of
i amateur gambling has seized hold
of Atlanta and has spread3 like
measles, until you can hardly ;go
| into a cigar store, soda water foun-
tain or near-beer saloon without
finding a group at the counter en-
gagged in rafting candy, cigars
pieces Of jewelry or what-not.
The children on the street ap-
proach you and want to | make
you buy five cent chance in 81
watch or box of candy or chew
| ing gum. In a few isolated instan-
ces raffles have been pulled off in
the name of religion to raise money
for church enterprises.
Wont you take chance?" You
hear it everywhere Take a chance
on something. You will have to
if you live in Atlanta And it isn't
all by any means confined to things
of little value. One man, is selling
chances at a dollar each on an
automobile which he proposes to
rattle off on Christmas week, and
at any number of places you can
find merchants and Others who
are rafting off gold watches
with chances that run from to
so cents.
This petty gambling is going Oh
openly and without pretence OF
secrecy. In most instances the
cards with the little red stamps
under which the names are hidden
are posted conspicuously on the
counters, with the printed invita-
ton to Take A Chance"

MARRIAGE IN. CONGO REGION
How the Young African Native Courts
and Webs His Dusky Ten
Dollar Bride.

A wife in the Congo region costs
$40. This sum is paid to the par
ents Of the girl or to the man who
owns her as his slave. The girl sell
dom has any voice in the matter.
Sometimes, however, the couple wish
ing to be married make their own
bargain and then it is an interesting
business. The young man seeks to
meet the darling Of his dreams. But
how and where are the questions that
worry and puzzle him. Often he
takes refuge in the home of the evan
gelist and gets him to write note
for him. He then goes out, cuts a
stick and splits it at the top, puts
the letter in the split and hurries to
get a carrier.
When it is delivered he stands
around to see how it is received. If
it is favorably received q nice pot Of
food is cooked and sent to him. The
parties are then considered engaged.
A man can have as many wives as
he can buy. | saw one man, a king,
who had 40. The marriage feast is

tive ideas, are in evidence at the

whose children it exists to edu-
cate; it must become more useful
every year. 1t belongs to the
people, and is the one universal
agency by which they prepare
their children for the duties and
privileges of life. 1t must serve
the public more effectively in the
old ways that have been tried
and found to be permanently
useful; it must serve the public
in new ways that will make all
people more conscious of the
largeness of its mission of SER
vice and of the sacredness Of its
duty to the children. It ought
to become the center of the in
tellectual life of the people. In
the towns and cities, it ought to
put the children and young peo-
pie into helpful relations with
the best life of the country;
everywhere, it ought to encour-
age a keen observation and SYM
pathetic understanding of home
surrounding and of the facts and
processes of nature and of life.
1t ought to be an open door to the
best things in the larger world
of worthy and useful living and
doing. ID. w. Working, in West

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Governor Glasscock will call an
extra session, the ann
of his intention having been made
Monday morning. The princi-
pal idea of the governor is to have
the legislature consider a pri-
mary election law, but it is pos
sible that he will include in his
call the public service commits
sion and uniform charters. We
believe West Virginia needs
some measures of this kind, but
we, do not think it needs them
enough to make an extra session
nece ssary.
1t can we'll be.argred, we know,
that the interest of the people
mand that we have these inn
pOrtant laws enacted. There is
need for them, and the greatest
need, aud the legislature which
has just ad journed was too busy
with rrifing measures to consid-
err many of more Importance.
There were members who pre-
ferred to consider only those OF
some Importance, but local rea-
sons urged individuals to push
pet schemes, and in their course
they consumed the time of both
branches. The principal time
killers were the charter bills,
but with the adoption of the mu.
nicipal code, which the governor
is contemplating including in his
call, future legislatures will not
be so hampered.
On the other hand we have had
enough legislature for one year.
We hope the governor will wait
until next winter, at least, if he
is determined to bring them to-
gether again.
The decision of the interstate
com merce commission denying
the railroads of the country the
privilege of raising their freight
rates as they desired to do, may
have caused little furry on the
stock exchange, but it will not
cause railroad building and de-
velopment to hesitate for mo-
ment. The railroads will con-
tinue their present rates, which
have enabled them in the past
and up to this good hour to make
vast improvements and amass
fortunes for many men who have
held stock in them. The ,Harri-
man, Gould, Hills aud others
managed to exc out an existance
on the rates they received, and
there is still opportunity in this
line of endeavor. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio has issued a
statement to the effect that it in
tends to proceed with it's inn
provements and prepare the nec-
essary facilities fo- progress
