GIVE US SOME
GRAMMAR MATCHES, TOO

The Tampa Tribune says that
spelling matches should be held at
regular intervals in every grade of
the schools of Hillsborough county.
This is all right as far as it goes,
but there ought to be some provision
for grammar matches. 1t is fact
that there can be no thinking worth
the name except in terms of words,
and it follows almost as corollary
that there can be no accurate think
ing except in terms of accurate gram
mar. Our best thinkers are always,
as a rule, those who speak the best
English, and our poorest thinkers are
those who know the least about the
proper construction of the sentences
they use. This is especially true as
to all abstract reasoning where there
is nothing concrete to visualize the
subject and concentrate the faculties,
and the man without adequate words
to express himself on such subjects is
instantly lost in the fog Of his own
confused ideas when he tried to
make progress along those invisible
: lines of thought.
There is no necessary association
between grammar and morals, and
some of the worst men in the world
speak faultless English; but it is
equally true that majority Of
those classed as undesirables fall
down" on their grammar and seldom
rise to the intellectual level of a SEN
tence that will parse. Train up a
child in good grammar, and, other
things being equal, that child is
much more likely to discover for it.

thinking, to the development of the |
reasoning faculties, to the possession |
of an open mind never closed against |
new facts by the bigotry of ignorance
and egotism, to clean speech and to
moral cleanliness. Bad grammar
points the way in the opposite direc-
tion, and, while not necessarily af.
fecting the moral development, it di-
rectly results in slovenly speech,
which means slovenly thinking-and
slovenly morals are always lying in

The force of a good example is
never lost. Dade county recently
voted dry and the editor of the Fort
Lauderdale Sentinel was so impressed
with that verdict that he announced
he would never again vote wet
ticket. Also he cut all the whiskey
advertisements out of his paper, and
he will go through life hereafter on
a strictly "dry" basis. The adage
tells us that the voice of the people
is the voice of God, and evidently
the Sentinel editor looks at it that
way.

G|RARD OFFICE

Books Show Good Percent
age of Increase in Re-
ceipts of Postoffice

Girard, August 6.-(special)-It is
doubtful if another postofrce in the
United States shows a greater percentage
of increase in receipts within the past
year than the local office.
The report for the fiscal year ending
June 50, 1912, was 1876. 49, while for the
year ending June 30. 1913 the report was
S92lS 16. or an increase Of SIS, 2S6. 81. The
large number of wholesale liquor houses
that have opened business within the two
years is the cause for such heavy in
crease in receipts. Two extra clerks have
been put on in the office so that the work
is now being handled with much more
ease and facility.

Montgomery county The bridge is being

The old state bank building has a his
tory that sounds more like fiction than
facts 1t is said that during the civil war
the pay train of the union army was held
up and robbed and that the money was
buried in or around the old bank building.
The amount was several thousand dollars.
So far as known the money has never
been found.
During the war a bushwhacker named
Bin Looney, known as the Red Fox" III
those days was terror to the confedor-
ate army. He and his little band of fol-
lowers would hide in the bushes and shoot
the confederate soldiers as they would
pass by and then they would escape. One
time Looney was captured. The confeder-
stes We're in charge of Decatur at the
time Looney was brought here and
paced in the old bank building and locked
up. There was a heavy guard placed on
the outside of the building. The following
morning it was found that Looney had
climbed up through one of the immense
clifnneys and In some way escaped the
guard. He made his way back to the
mountains of Winston county, where he

charmed life and was a terror to this part
of the country. He had a brother in the
confederate army and for a number OF
days he searched for him. swearing he
would kin him. but he never found him.
After the war closed Looney went to Tex
as when Texas was wild and was quite
a terror there. He died in Texas some
years after the war.
After the war closed the old bank build
ing was used for number of purposes.
For some time 1t was a residence, milli-
merry store and later a hotel. While it was
hotel a man killed his father-in-law in
one of the rooms Later on the Bank of
Decatur was organized, which afterward
became the First National bank and this
bank occupied the old state bank building
for number of years. At the present
time the old building Is used as cafe.
The building is built of brick and stone.
There are five massive columns of solid
stone which support the rotunda This
stone was quarried at Trinity, this county
and hauled here on OK wagons in the early
SOS. Slaves got out the stone and when
they delivered the stone to Decatur the
slaves who did the work were given their
freedom with a great ceremony.
