SUNDAY SCHOOL
WORKERS PREPARE
FOR CONVENTION
TO MEET soon in DUBLIN
Local Interest Being Aroused
In Work

Inquiries made recently show that
many here are interested in the APP
preaching convention of the Georgia
Sunday School Association, which is
to hold its annual session in Dublin on
April 23-24-25. There will be many to
attend from Americas, in addition to
the delegates that will be appointed to
| represent the various churches.
The program committee for the Con-
vention has had three meetings and
has prepared feast of good things
for the Georgia Sunday School work
ers. Among the speakers are to be-
Rev. R. L. Christie, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Columbus; Mr..
Frank L. Mallary, Macon; Rev. How
ard T Cree, pastor of the First Chris
tian Church of Augusta; Col. A. w.
Evans, of Sandersville;, and a number
of other prominent Sunday School
workers of the state. Among the out
of state speakers will be Mr.. Marion
Lawrence, of Chicago, General Secre-
taFy of the International Sunday
School Association; DR.. H. M. Hamill,
of Nashville, Tenn; and Mrs. H. M
Hamill
Ac the Convention is to be held at
ublin, the people are making big prep
erations. A chorus of about one hun
dred voices is being organized, and the
various committees are busy, for they
are determined to make this the great
est Sunday School Convention Georgia
has ever had. All who attend will be
entertained free. Every white SUNDAY
School in Georgia is requested to send
three delegates, besides pastor and
superintendent, who are delegates by
virtue of their office. But the Dublin
friends and the officers of the State
Sunday School Association would
much prefer any school that would do
so to send ten or twelve delegates.
All will be amply taken care of.
A feature of the Convention will be
a parade by the Sunday School work
ers, headed by band of music.
On account of the Convention, the
railroads of the state have granted
rate which is practically half price.
Railroad tickets at reduced rates can
be bought at almost any railroad sta
ton in Georgia. Mr.. ]. H. whitening
ton, Dublin, is chairman of the enter
tanning committee, and would be glad
to have anyone correspond with him
for further particulars.

whose character and training are
such that he never promises what he
cannot perform; that he always a lit
tie more than makes good what he
does promise and that while steadily
advancing, he never permits himself
to be led into foolish excuses which
would damage the very cause he
champions. In Mr.. Taft, we have a
man who combines all of these quail
ties to a degree which no other man
in our public life since the civil war
has surpassed"
Continuing, Mr.. Roosevelt still de-
scribing Mr.. Taft, said:
ITO a flaming hatred of injustice,
to a scorn of all that is base and
mean, to a hearty sympathy with the
oppressed, he unites entire disinteres-
tedness, courage, both moral and ply
steal of the very highest type, and i
kindly generosity of nature, which
makes him feel that all of his fellow
countrymen are in very truth his
friends and brothers; that their inter-
ests are his, and that all his great
qualities are to be spent with lavish
freedom in their service.
"The man to trust is the man who
like Judge Taft, does not promise too
much, but who could not be swayed
from the path of duty by any argu-
ment, by any consideration; who will
wage relentless war on a successful
wrongdoer among railroad men, a:
among all other men; who will do al
that can be done to secure legitimate
ly low rates to shippers and absolute
evenness among the rates thus Sc

money built the road, his profits. He
will not favor a ruinous experiment

HARLAN's WIT WITHOUT MALICE.

The late Justice Harlan's Ameri-
canism is well known. His love of
English and his aversion to the use
of any other language when the Eng
lish tongue could be used was mani
fected on occasion. AT the White
House one evening an American vo-
calist rendered a series of selections
in Italian, the justice sitting it out
but showing his feelings on his coun-
tenance. A friend inquired as he
was leaving how he enjoyed the pro-
gramme, to which Justice Harlan re-
Sponded:
Not much | couldn't understand
what the fellow was driving at. 1t
reminded me of one of Brewers
dissenting opinions"
Notwithstanding this thrust, be-
tween the two justices there was al
ways a close bond of affection.

GLUTTONY PAYS ITS PRICE
Pudding and Pie Heaped Upon Turkey

"a Christmas dinner isn't a very

plum pudding and mince pie are
meals in themselves. Therefore,
consumed on top of two or three
pounds of turkey, cranberry sauce,
mashed potatoes and creamed onions
and canned corn and peas, pudding
and pie are apt to make trouble.

F. L. Havey of Lewiston, the most

famous mine in Poland. Some of

Included in the collection are the

by Mr.. Havey it is estimated that
the tourmalines will cut at least

QUEER METHOD OF FISHING
Catch Is Removed From the Line
About 100 Feet From Where
Fish Are Caught.

The French fishermen on the Bay
of Biscay practice a peculiar method
of fishing by which the hooks are
bated and the catch removed from
the line about 100 feet from the
poirt where the fish are caught. The
apparatus required for this long dis
lance fishing includes a pole about
fifty feet high on the shore and a
similar pole about LOO feet out in
the water. The shore pole has pull
leys mounted both at the top and
the base, and the sea pole has a pull
ley at its top. Over these pulleys is
stretched an endless line, to one Sec
ton of which are attached a number
of fishing leads spaced about 80 feet
apart. After batting the hooks on
these leads the fisherman hauls on
the endless line until they are away
out to sea, and then gives the bait
motion by continuously juggling the
endless line, thus causing the bait
to jump on the surface of the water.
The catch often totals as much as
175 pounds a day. The season lasts
from the beginning of August tc
the end of September, and the fish.
ermen live in little cabins at the foo
of their shore poles.

as elsewhere, have done so much of
recent years to abolish drunkenness.

as theft or forgery. Not long ago
there were people who thought it
even meritorious to get drunk on
holidays-on Christmas day, for in

Mr.. Vanderbilt smiled.

"came home one Christmas night
from a long sitting over an enor-

lurched into the sitting-room, and

Editor Intelligencer;
There seems to be quite a
commotion in various parts of
our state in regard to the sudden
popularity Of the song "They
gotta quit kickin' my dog aroun'.'
Many fear that it will be adopted
as the Missouri state song. The
words of the song could not
have been written in Missouri
Or Arkansas. In either state to
kick a mans dog is considered
the greatest insult, and a fight
is sure to follow. No Missouri
ian would ever tell anybody to
quit kicking mis- dog. If Il man
wants troubles, let him begin to
kicking dogs in Missouri or
Arkansas.
But | am reminded that Gov.
Hadley himself has felt tie toe
of the boot quite frequently OF
late, and his friends are probab-
ly justified in singing the song.
Hadley has heard the song Sc
often, and sung in such a GolefuI
manner that the song has got.
