gun on the Murtaugh grade before any
more funds could have been available.
However, the result is that one-third

bad shape, and has been all summer
Now comes the part which will inte-
rest the taxpayers. Nearly five thou
sand dollars has been spent this year
on the grade Ito be exact, over $47O0)
To finish the remaining two-thirds
will take at least four thousand dol
lars more. The result is that under
the guiding hand of Commissioner
Carlson the grade work il ever COM
pleted will cost the county two thou
sand dollars more than it would UNI

The only thing that can be said for
the plan adopted is that 1t provided
employment for some of the Demo-
cratic henchmen. OF course, all tax
payers. Republicans and Democrats
alike, believe in economy. The Times
believes that the great majority of the
taxpayers do not approve of the prac-
ice of taking county funds and spend
ing the same extravagantly. The
Times claims that in the past two or
more years the county has not re-
ceived full value for every dollar ex-
pended upon the county roads.

that the colored people have formed themselves

come down through the ages and is not distInc-
tive OF any people. But the societies that have
been here conducting their general business are
representative TO large extent of the growth

America, more especially as regards the item of
thrift and the quality of social stability The
representatives who have gathered here are in
themselves proof that the colored man has made
progress in the race of life since equal oppor-
tunity was given him, and that materially and
intellectually he is worthily striving with his
white brother. He is learning to be not self
sufficient but selt-respecting and in this way
above all others is he serving his own race For
this and for other reasons these guests who
have so quietly followed their own affairs while

partite form OF government, adopted when the
United States came into existence. is perpetuated
the resentment OF the colonists against the
crown. In colonial times governors were ap-
pointed by the king and represented him, and
were always assured Of and frequently merited
the opposition OF the legislative assemblies This
condition was carried over into the new govern

and horror that has come from every quarter OF
the country, condemning the barbarous mob
that disgraced American civilization by it's
dreadful deed. The is not, and for many
months has not been, exclusively Georgian
affair. It's progress has been watched by the
people of the entire country, concerned to see
that justice was done. and that law and order
were upheld. Georglans of all classes knew
this. and, knowing It, permitted the preparation
of one Of the foulest crimes in all our history.
They well deserve the censure visited on them
and cannot, through protest escape from blame
for the work of the mob. Just now they have
but one way to convince the world of their sim

APPLE TIME.

j. NJ. Lewis in Houston Post.
Along about this time o'year,
About g thousand miles from here.
There is q place where all around
Are apples layin' on the ground;
And any man can drive from town
Most any day and can get down
And load his wagon to the seat
With apples that a king would eat;
And the farmer will tell him then:
NO, not penny! Call again.
That memory appeals to me-
A load OF dead-ripe apples Free.
The farmers busy with his crops
Ana don't care for the fruit that drops:
! used to love to tramp out far
70 where those rosy apples are.
And tuck those rosy apples in
Till cider dripped off OF my chin,
And mother would be scared at night
For fear Id lost my appetite.
Them was the days of long ago
When apple-blossoms used to blow
Across my path, and l would be
Acquainted with each apple tree,
ana inquire up the seasons eats:
And watch the tree OF golden sweets
That every farmer has and sigh
For the days comm by and by
when he would let me load up at
Most every tree exceptin' that.
Ihem was the apples that we hooked.
w hehever that there farmer looked
me lher way, then we would f!Il
Our shirts with golden-sweets until
We was as round as a balloon!
Talk not to me OF DAYS OF June'
twas when the suns of August DAVIS
Shone bright and warm across our WAYS
Ihat used to mean the most to me-
Or all the days that used to be.
