MARRIAGE OF MISS
LARK TO MR.. CASTOR
The Nuptials Were a Surprise tc
Their GreenviIIe Friends.

Their GreenviIIe Friends.
The following item in reference to
the marriage of Miss Pauline Lark
to Mr.. John A. CASTOR of Greenyille
is clipped from Greenville paper:
Greenville was given a genuine
surprise Monday morning when it
was announced that Miss Pauline
Lark, the gifted music teacher of the
Greenville high school, and Mr.. John
A. Castor, a prominent citizen of this
city, had married the night before.
1t was known that Mr.. CASTOR was
keeping the trail warm that led to
Miss Lark's boarding place, but no
one knew that the love affair of one
month had reached the suspicious
stage when matrimony was the next
step. The happy couple had spent
the day in Senoia and upon their
return to the home of Judge and Mrs
M. q. O'Neal they decided upon i'm
mediate marriage. Rev. J. T. Fakes
was sent for, and he performed the
ceremony. The nuptial event was
celebrated at the home of Judge and

few friends of the popular couple.
Mrs. CASTOR belongs to a promi-
nent Dawson family, and came here
at the opening of school to teach mu-
sic During her short stay she has
won the hearts of all with whom she
came in contact. She is pretty,
charming and accomplished and en-
dowed with all the noble graces of
perfect womanhood. Greenville is
pleased to know that her residence
here is to be permanent.
Mr.. Gaston's popularity is bounded
only by his acquaintanceship. He is
one of the largest farmers in the
county and a splendid gentleman. He
is a member of the board of trustees
of the state agricultural college, has
been for several years mayor pro
tenn of this city, and is prominently
identified with the business interests
of Greenville. He is worthy of the
good luck which has come to him.
May the richest blessings of Provi-
dence be showered over the pathway
of the happy bride and groom is the
wish of a host of friends.

SHIPMENTS
PAY STATE MONEY
Ordinary Hoyl Has Collected $625.75
in Fees Since August 23rd.
$1,000 Packages Received.

The state of Georgia is now re-
ceiving an income from whiskey ship
ments that come into Terrell county.
Since the amendment to the pro-
hibition law was approved on August
% Ordinary Hoyl has collected
$625.75 in fees, which is three cents
for each shipment. This means that
there have been nearly $1,000 whis-
key shipments into the county in
three months. The law allows the or
binary three cents for each shipment
until the total amount in one fiscal
year reaches $500, when he receives
only ten per cent of the fees, the re-
mainder going to the state. Ordinary
Hoyl had received $25.75 more than
his maximum Saturday, and in future
the fees, which amount to about $500
a month, will go into the state treas
ury, less the ordinary's ten per cent.
There were 1856 packages delivered
in Terrell county last Thursday, Fri

SONGS OF THE OLD SOUTH
Proposal to Eliminate the "Dar3ky 81,
aleet" Has Been Received With
Some DIsapproval.

The proposal Of a committee Of
high-school music teachers in New
York city to have the NEGRO dia-
lect" eliminated from such songs as
"Dixie'' and "The Suwannee River"
is not likely to meet with general
approval. The contention is that
these songs corrupt the language,
and that children should be taught
only the purest English, while the
change, it is thought, also would
be helpful to the many foreign chill
dren for whom our language at its
best is full Of difficulties. Much of
the charm Of the southern darby
songs, which have become familiar
to the American people almost to
the extent Of being accepted as clas-
sizes in their way, and the only folk
songs" that we may claim, is due to
the soft negro dialect, which lends
itself so melodiously to the lifting
tunes to which many of them are set.
1t would seem better to leave these
dittics out Of the music-school text
books and to substitute others writ.
ten in "pure English" than to rob
them of so much Of their quaint
beauty and sympathetic appeal. Let
the children sing something else, un-
til they r old enough to under
stand and appreciate the old songs
OF the South as they stand.-Phila.

INDIAN WOMEN HAD VOTE
Proof That They Took q Prominent
Part In the Government Of
the Five Nations,

The New York State Museum
Bulletin Of April /, 1916, is devoted
entirely to an article on "The Con-
stitution of the Five Nations" by
Arthur G. Parker, archcologist of
the museum, and contains a guam
tity of enlightening information on
the history of the Indian tribes of
this country. A part of the Iroquois
constitution is especially significant:
"The lords,' or civil chiefs, we're
nominated by certain noble women
in whose families the titles we're he
reditary the nominations we're con-
firmed by popular councils, both of
men and women, and finally ~ the
confederate council. Women thus
had great power, for not only could
they nominate their rulers, but also
depose them for incompetcncy in o.
tee. Here, then, we find the right
81 popular nomination, the right Of
recall and woman suffrage, all flour
lshlng in the old America Of the Red
Man, and centuries before it became
the clamor Of the new America of
the white invader. Who shall now
call Indians and lroquois savagesT'

EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP.

1t is reported from the bureau Of
naturalization in Washington that
more free public schools of the coun-
try than ever before are now CO.
operating with the objects of this b.
'cau. Last year $50 cities and
owns in Al states developed efficient
cooperation in this matter of facili-
:ating the efforts of foreign-born
persons to become American citizens.
The bureau is also supporting the
movement inaugurated in nearly
$50 other cities and towns having
the same purpose. Indeed, it APP
pears that the work for citizenship
preparedness is likely to extend soon
20 every state.
The bureau is preparing a text
book for instruction in citizenship
tor adult aliens generally, and it is
expected that this work will be in
the hands of the teachers for use in
the public night schools of the com.

ARGUMENT WITH A WOMAN
Writer Makes Assertion That the 70
male Mind Was Not Formed
for Concentration.

In matters of argument man il
like the Italian brigand who robs
the friar, then confesses and asks
him for absolution; woman is the
burglar unrependant, asserts W. L.
George in Atlantic Monthly. This
may be due to woman as a rule hav.
ing few guiding principles or intel.
ual criteria.
She often holds so many moral
principles that intellectual argu.
ment with her irritatcs the crispe1
male mind. But she finds it difficult
to retain a grasp upon a central
idea, to clear away the side issues
which obscure it. She can seldom
carry an idea to its logical conclu.
sion, passing from term to term;
somewhere there is a solution to con-
tlnuity. For this reason arguments
with women, which have begun with
the latest musical play, easily pass
on from its alleged artistic merit to
its costumes, their undesirable scam
tlness, the need for inspection, in
spoctors of theaters, and little by
little other inspectors, until one gets
to mining inspectors and possibly to
mining in general.
You will observe that these ideas
are fairly we'll linked. All that hap
pens is that the woman, firing Of the
central argument, has pursued each
side issue as it offered itself. This

This was followed by a lugubrious
