I've just one thing to tell you in a

The subject that l write about Of which

Was published in The Butler Times
Bates county's foremost paper.
But I'll just mention it again for fear
some didn't read,
And hope that if they read this a few

There's one thing they persist in
which my whole system shocks,
In place of buying stamps they put
the pennies in the box.
My dispositions not the best I'll can

And this one habit you have formed
puts quite strain on it;
Cause when my feet and hands get

Thirty-fve to forty automobile
loads of Silver City people went to
Deming Sunday to see the Ell Paso-
Phoenix road race. As the trip en-
tailed arising and starting a couple
Of hours before daylight, the number
who made the trip surely upheld the
towns reputation Of being strenu-
GUS supporter of sporting events.
Silver City cars were stretched all
along the route from Deming to
Lordsburg. Distress signals were
hung out at the Harvey house in
Deming by one o'clock and arrivals
after that hour took what they could
get. At one time there was not a
table in the Harvey house dining
room, but that had at least one Sill
yer City representative and most of
them were filed with people from
this town. With unusually good ap-
petites sharpened by a long ride in
the cold morning air, the hungry
bunch from the north did great exc
cution at the dinner tables and It Is
reported that heavy losses were sus-
tanned by all the restaurants and ho'
tells and that next year II there is
road race prices Of meals are to b
boosted.
All who went down seemed vel
pleased with what they saw Of thu
race. One Of the visitors report,
that he saw a tire changed in les'
than a minute, but so far he hal
not found anyone who will believ'
his statement.

Charges Against
Speer Dropped

Atlanta, Ca. Oct. 3-The CHARGES
preferred against Judge Emory
Speer, of Macon have probably been
dropped for all time, after being
published broadcast. The Washing
ton dispatches say the house Judici-
airy committee has formally filed a
report recommending that the
charges be dropped, and this action
undoubtedly will be taken.
There is considerable speculation
as to whether Judge Speer will con-
tinue to preside in a court in which
he has been exposed to such serious
charges or will resign when the
charges FINALLY are dropped, and
also whether that reported assistant
judgeship will be created and
Thomas S. Fielder appointed to the
new bench, as was reported when
Fielder withdrew from the race at
the Macon convention.

Allies RepulSed,
Says Berlin
Two Antwerp Forts
Silenced BY Germans.

Berlin, Oct. 2, by Wireless to
SayviIIe, L. I. According to an
nouncement made in Berlin to-
day the great battle in France is
still undecided. Til e Germans
are described as hammering the
French positions a numerous
points by their heavy artillery.
The attempts of the allies to break
through the German lines have
been repulsed. The heaviest los
ses have been in the Argonne
region.
The Germans continue to make
steady progress.
In the fighting before Antwerp
the German artillery has silenced
two of the Belgian forts. Ger
man troops captured thirty aero
planes sent from France to Bel
GUM.
In the eastern arena Of the war
the Russian offensive movement
from the Niemen river against
the Germans in the province of
Suwalkii is declared to have failed.
1t is officially reported that the
Russian fortress at Ossowetz, in
Russian Poland, war bombarded
by the Germans until Sept. Is.
The fighting n France. the
siege of Antwerp and the often
sive operations under Gen. Hin
denberg all going on at the same
time are taken in Berlin to indi-
cate that the German army is not
lacking in men.

AtlaRtans Changing CARDS

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 3-This is over
coat day in Atlanta, and the smell
of camphor and moth balls is abroad
on the streets. The first real chill
of the season arrived yesterday
with a nasty, drilling rain which
kept most everybody indoors, this
was followed today by a tempera-
ture which made wiser ones think
of those thick ones that tickle
laid away since last winter.
Just now the man on the street
is wondering whether the chilly
breezes will drive the women to
change their style in hosiery and
skirts The scenery around tn e
windy corner of the Gambler build
ing attracted more than the usual
crowd yesterday, and were several
remarks that there Was no use
spending money to see musical
comedy with such an excellent free
display going on all day.

Letter From G. G. Reeves
Editor Leader Enterprise:


Having been shut in for some
time nursing a broken leg and
having nothing to employ my
mine, / decided to write few
lines to the paper. AS Bill Arp
use to say, II have been rumi-
mating what to write about" /
first thought / would write about
the south and the cotton propo-
sition but there has been so much
said and nothing done on that
proposition / decided best to let
that alone. But after reading
your editorials of a few days ago
on the proposition Of opening the
Rural Schools, I thought a proper
subject to write about.
I want to say in beginning that
you are to be highly commended
for the stand you are taking in
behalf of the country schools. L
feel like pulling off my hat to the
men whose names appear in your
paper as subscribers to a fund to
open the schools, etc,
am unable to understand why
the people of the country could
intertain an idea of discontinuing
the schools for lack of funds to
run them. Surely our county is
not ready to go to the bow vows
just because Europe is engaged
in war. Surely we think more
of our children than that.
Of course there are people that
will say we had better discon-
tinue the schools and gather the
cotton and wait until the people
begin to pay their tax and then
we will be able to run them, that
may be true but I doubt very
much that there will be paid into
the Treasurer of the county by
next April enough money to run
the current expenses of the coun-
| ty to say nothing of running the
the schools, etc. And after we
lpick the cotton there is no mar
ket for it. so you see after all l
think it would be best to open
the schools and let the people
back them up as you suggested.
1t does seem that we have too
much money in buildings to let
them stand idle and our children
to go without schooling.
There stands in mile of where
/ am sitting a building that the
: people of Ashton district praise
: very highly SO much, so that
: they don't want anything run
there but school, and there are
also in the district from $50 child
rem of school age. It looks to
me it would be suicide to close
this school for 3 or months
when our children should be in
school every day. Of course I
am nothing but a tenant farmer
and cannot put up the money
but I know 3 men in this district
that could say Ashton school
shall run, it would run regardless
of whether there was any money
in the Treasurer or not. So it
will be left with the people
whether they want them to run
or not.
: Of course | don't think the
Board of Education are in anyway
to blame for suggesting dfscon-
tinuation of the schools, for the
time, for they are all good men
and believe they have the best
interest at heart for the children
of Ben Hill county, bLy it looks
like a pity for our children to
lose 3 or a months out Of school.
We count ourselves progressive
but this looks very much like we
are reactionary.

SCORES THE IDLE RICH
Rev. Dr.. Montgomery breaches on
Their RESPONSIBILITIES to paonla

me Three HIS, Hand, Head and
i1eart. was the subject of the sermon
delivered last night by Rev. Dr.. James
shera Montgomery, pastor of the Metro
poiltan NJ e. Church. He characterized
the idle rich as a positive menace to the
peace and contentment of the people.
They he said, could do more than
any other section of the social organism
to establish order and justice, and stay
the note of complaint and ridicule which
sometimes law and order feel like the
voice of the angry sea.
Under normal conditions the idle poor
are no better. But if men are positively
jobless and are worthy. then open up the
churches and bid them welcome to the
pews for cots of rest and to the com
munion table for bounties of physical
nourishment This is not the ultimate
solution TO the problem, but this one
thing is true, it is religion further APP
Piled and its effect on wide-awake PEG
pie Will be splendid. In proportion as
humanity is injected into our faith are
its claims justified. We know of no
place too holy to feed hungry body.
1t will never hurt religion to lift it from
the altar into the street"
