TO TAKE UP JOURNALISM

Ralph Horton, who was over
from Volga last week when the
Horton family made visit to
Grandpa Hits, has finished his
high hool course and this fall
starts on two year course at the
state college at Brookings, with a
view to taking up a course in
journalism later. Ralph has had
several years Of practical ex-
perience in his fathers printing
office, and could not have had a
more substantial foundation for the
profession which he is choosing
for his life work.
There was a time when this
foundation was all that was needed
to reach the highest place in a
journalistic career, bu. the world
has changed since Horace Greeley
thundered in the New York
Tribune, and the fourth estate
now demands the fullest equip
ment Of those who take up the
white mans burden Of playing
mentor to the people. Ralph s
Milbank friends wish him success
in both his school life and after
work.

brings about great and wonderful
change in their elders. OF course.

AUTO DRIVERS TAKE HEED

Your attention is hereby called
to the fact that you have been eau
toned by the city authorities that
speeding in the city limits is for
hidden by law. You are taking
chances in not observing the law by
speeding up as soon as you turn at
the creamery and 60 west,
also when you turn at the A. G.
Smith corner and go east. There
are several little children on that
street and you may accidentally in
jure some of them by so speeding.
Therefore we are going to see to it
that before such accident occurs
some of the offenders will be justly
dealt with according to law, when
next they try out their machines at
a thirty or forty mile speed,

GRAND JURY INVESTIGATING
ATLANTA STRIKE DISORDERS

ATLANTA, Cav Oct. 2S.-Another
busy day investigating disorders grow
ing out of Atlanta's street car strike
was spent yesterday by the Fulton
county grand jury, with the result that
seven men were indicted on misde-
meanor and felony charges.
E. H. Carson was indicted on a fell
oGy charge for throwing rock at a
street car, and indicted on misde-
meanor charge for calling a motorman
"scab." Six other men were in
dicted for applying the so-called epf-
thet to street car men who have re-
manned with the company.
Since Judge Ben H. Hill, of Fulton
Superior court charged the grand jury
that the use of the word "scab" is a
violation of the law. because it is an
opprobrious term and an epithet cal
culated to result in a breach of the
peace, Recorder George E. Johnson Of
the Atlanta police court has reversed
his position on the subject and fined
every man arraigned before him for
calling a car man by this title.

From Olden

Americas with Lumpkin as its term

that the people from Lumpkin, Rich

return in the afternoon. In those days
the people from all of the towns from
[ ,lmpkin to Americas were well iden-
titled with Americas, and were fire.
quent visitors here, and good patrons
of Americus business houses. Now,
since the Americas, Preston & Lump
kin railroad is no more. and the Sea-
board Air Line railway runs from Sa-
vannah to Montgomery the best we can
90 is to get a train from Lumpkin at
.12:31, returning that way at 1908, Civ
ing a margin of two hours and twenty
nine minutes in Americas. When the
night trains were on. you could come
ever at night from Lumpkin. by sitting
up part of the night, and spend until
,3:O8 the next day here. The night
trains have not been operated west OF
Americas for more than a year past
Now when a passenger wants to go to
Lumpkin in the afternoon, he leaves at
3 .oS p. IL, and if he goes to Lumpkin
or west of Lumpkin, there is no train
for him to get back this way again UNI
till IL o'clock the next day. He is com
pc,led to spend a part of two days and
one night in Lumpkin before he can
leave.
