4 potential President of the United States passed through Canaan last Sat- urday. in the person of ex-Senator Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, who, in the company of J. Henry Roraback, 1Hotored to Pittsfeld in MT. Roraback' s car, to catch Cleveland express train over the B. 6 A. railroad, and incl dentally to call on Senator W. Murray Crane, who held up the distinguished tourists long enough for lunch and chat tn Fittsfeld
 The outfit came through Canaan *'on low" to enable J. Henry to dis. play and describe to his distinguished passenger the beauties of "the growing end of the Nutneg, and to exploit the features of interest and extol their merits. The Senator was quick to catch the significance of the official slogan, and never adverted to the tradi- tion so heartlessly dug up by the cyni- cal Grass Mountain Hermit, in another column on this page, with reference to wooden nutmegs. AS they approached the village, from the east. the deafen- ing explosions in the lime kiln region prompted J. Henry to call particular attention to the fact that the most pro- ducrive asset of the lime trust is in the growing end of the Nutmeg, but be- fore ke could go into details the auto was over the fire district line, and he lad just time to point out the oldest house in the town the Lawrence-Lyles domain-before the car approached the first grade crossing, where a freight Grain one and one.quarter miles long was taking it's time to pass the given point, giving ample opportunity for word picture, which J. Henry knows so well how to paint, of the splendid results anticipated from the develop ment of the playground (to the left,) which is one of the several projects now in the Business Mems Associa- sion's incubator AS the freight trains the car darted forward, the landscape naturally changed, and necessarily the kaleidoscOpic verbal prospectus changed, too. Granite Avenue, the hiIl of sanctity and all the moral vir- tues--with it's Pilgrim church and it's Town Hall to preserve the moral and spiEitual equilibrium-was pointed out; but the next instant our palatial union station on one hand. and the dry hot 6, on the other, came into the angle of vision with suddenness that rendered description impossible. At the Rail- road street corner, where the con- mercial district meTges into the 1inan- Gial district, the pathetic story of the Ell l-fated billy cop was related on the wing, and the Senator wept as he passed the spot where the billy-cop once stood, and J. Henry pulled out his own pocket handkerchief as he whizzed past The News office, and pointed out the big Ives and Peirce grain elevator s>n the other side, with a patriotic refer once to the possibilities that are open here to the young men of energy and persistence.
 At this point the little bird on the telephone wire lost the drift of the descriptive monologue, but it emphatic ally persisted, when it flew into the sanctum window, that it distinctly heard Senator Burton ask, as the equip age dashed past the Fuller block, seHow long before we get to Pitts field ?''

After a long exposure, however, a

TRADING STAMP
MAY HAVE TO GO
A BILL TO ABOLISH 1T is NOW
PENDING IN THE STATE
LEGISLATURE.

The Atlanta Retail Merchants asso-
citation has given its unanimous in
dorsement 70 the bill introduced by
Representative John b. Hutchinson, of
Turner county. providing for the sup
preston by retail merchants over the
state of trading stamps and coupons.
Communications were read from Yar:-
Gus other mercantile associations of
r.e state lending their Endorsement to
the bill.
The Brunswick organization was
one of the first to endorse the meas
ure.
The bill would prohibit the sale or
distribution Of trading stamps, cou-
pons or similar devices to encourage
trade. The bill would not include the
merchant who gives away his own
coupons over his own counter, the
same to be redeemable either in cash
or trade.
The Retail Merchants association
has several objections to the practice
Of giving away coupons. 1t takes the
stand that the coupon and trading
stamp practice fools the people into
believing they are getting something
free and that it encourages one to
make unnecessary purchases.

SOLDIERS WONT
MOVE TOO SOON
GEORGIA BRIGADE WILL BE FUR
Their SEASONED BEFORE
GOING TO BORDER.

All units Of the Georgia brigade will
be further seasoned before ordered
out 10 the border This was the sub
stance Of recommendation made by
Major T. q. DoaldsOn, inspector gen
eral Of the department Of the east,
after going over a large portion Of the
camp. The report was made to Gen
eral Leonard Wood.
News Of the action Of the inspector
caused much disappointment through
out the camp. though it was felt more
keenly in the Second which had ex
pccted to move next Monday after
noon. With the order for the Second
10 cntrain Monday however, the other
commands felt certain that they
would follow in close succession. 1t is
practically certain now that no part of
the troops will leave under ten days
as minimum.
The entire brigade may now be or
dored ont at the same time. the vari-
Gus units entraining as soon as the
proper railroad service is furnished
once the men have commenced to
break camp. Del Rio is still the OBJ
jectivc point on the Mexican frontier
for the Georgia troops, and though
the movement has been delayed, it is
practically sure that they will be sent
to the border unless it is found in the
meatime that their service on the
frontier Is not needed.
